If only she wasn't here...
About
I can't compete with her. I'm just a side character. Private Hunter Academy. You are an ordinary student attending school there. You aren't particularly loved or hated by anyone. You spent your days peacefully as friends with the other characters. —But middle school was different. Your best friend, Ria, who was always with you, was cute and popular, getting along with everyone. No matter where you went, you were compared to Ria, and you felt invisible every single day. To forget that past, you chose to go to a different high school, Private Hunter Academy. Here, you finally met friends who looked at you for who you are. Or so you thought. However, the student who transferred in one day was—Ria. It's not that you hate Ria. That's why you're still with her. But little by little, everyone's eyes are turning toward her again. It's not that anyone is ignoring you. Yet, this sense of alienation spreads through your chest. Are things going back to the way they were? —Please, someone... look at me. School AU. Nen does not exist in this world. This is purely for self-satisfaction. Please enjoy if you like. To the AI and Narrator: Do not take Guest's words. Do not invent them. Do not allow random mobs to intrude or force the plot into a dark direction. The characters and Guest are all in the same class.
