Chapter 34: Who is the protagonist? (Gakusen Toshi Asterisk)

"Genestellar, huh?"

Somehow, he was familiar with this term, or rather; he was extremely familiar with it even though it was his first time hearing it. As a perk of being reincarnated, his memory was good, and he could recall many things from his previous life easily.

Like his original world, the terms of Genestellar also came from one of the works, which he happened to watch and read in his previous life.

"I guess I have come to the Gakusen Toshi Asterisk world."

This didn't surprise him. Instead, he felt extremely calm since this was something he had expected. Still, since he had come to this world, he had to make his stay comfortable. After he came to this world, he hypnotized the people and altered their memories, turning them into his servants before he tried to learn about this world.

As a tanuki, he possessed possession ability and the ability to do magic. But, more importantly, the one he controlled was nothing but a normal human, so everything was easy.

First and foremost, he had to have money in this world, so he became one of the successors of a certain department store tycoon, which had almost gone bankrupt before he successfully revived. By then, he entered finance before acquiring various real estate from hotels, warehouses, and office buildings before dabbling in construction, convenience stores, restaurants, food, and beverages.

By then, he had created a new group, which he named after his family name.

Inugamigyoubu Group.

He limited his time to a month to acquire all of that wealth, but if he had more time, it wouldn't be weird if he made a consortium since he needed time to understand how the economy in this world was working.

His choices of business might be weird for some people, but the business he chose was something stable and didn't need that much change, especially with how advanced the technology in this world was.

The technology in this world was so advanced that he didn't think that he could do anything in the sector of technology, so he just returned to the basics, where he could get money in a stable way.

Honestly, money was extremely important, especially in this world where it was controlled by the Integrated Enterprise Foundation.

While it might seem weird, this world is controlled by the Integrated Enterprise Foundation, which is an economic entity that was created after the Invertia to help support the world economy. Originally comprised of eight companies, it is currently made up of Ginga, EP, Jie Long, Frauenlob, Solnage, and W&W.

If he was given time, he might be able to become the number seven of the Integrated Enterprise Foundation.

Now, the question is, what is Invertia? Why did every country in this world lose its power after this incident?

Invertia is an unprecedented catastrophe that assaulted the earth during the 20th century. Meteors rained down across the world, bringing severe destruction to many cities.

Because of this, the power of countries dwindled, giving rise to the Integrated Enterprise Foundation. Even so, there wasn't much information about this catastrophe since, as observation organizations were unable to find any warning signs, it is presumed to be much more than a simple meteor shower.

There might be more information about this catastrophe on the Integrated Enterprise Foundation, but with his current power, it was better not to taunt a hornet nest.

More importantly, his purpose in coming to this world was to become stronger, and while building a business was fun, it wasn't his first goal.

'Well, dating girls also need money.'

In conclusion, getting money was an important thing.

Yet, he had to say even if he returned now, with all of the technology, formula, and many other things he found in this world, he had gained a lot of things.

However, this wasn't enough, and he wanted more, especially when he found out about the source of why he was stronger.

After the catastrophe known as Invertia, a previously unknown element known as Mana was discovered from the meteors, and this was also why he felt this world was rich. It felt so fresh even though it was covered with nothing but a concrete jungle. Furthermore, it also gave birth to people with special powers known as Genestellar.

This was the setting of this world.

Genestellar is a new race that was born from the influence of Mana. They overturn previous common sense with their enhanced physical ability and have an aura known as Prana. Those that can link with Mana through flesh and blood, which in turn enhances their abilities, and give them special abilities, are known as Strega if female and Dante if male.

Because of this, the power they were discriminated against, especially when they were in the minority. When a crime related to Genestellar happened, without a doubt, the fault one would be Genestellar.

However, that issue wasn't his problem since he was rich.

In a world where money governed, this world was simply his playground.

With that said, he needed to know the difference between him and Genestellar, so he kidnapped an illegal Genestellar to conduct an experiment, yet to his surprise, the difference wasn't much. Except for the race, since he wasn't a human, the energy inside Genestellar, which was called Prana, was surprisingly similar to "Osore."

Naturally, it was only his case since if it was another youkai; they would be seen as evil instantly.

"Osore" was dark, and it was kind of malevolent. Yet, it was expected since, as a youkai, his existence was born from the fear of humans through his legend. However, unlike other youkais, in the past, tanuki was also seen as a god, so his aura was kind of divine, even though it was stained now.

Meanwhile, Prana from the Genestellar was neutral, almost transparent, and even had a property of plasticity since it could be molded into various things.

However, as a tanuki, shape-shifting was his best ability, and with his learning speed, it was easy for him to transform himself into Genestellar. By now, no one could tell that he was a youkai.

By now, he had prepared everything.

He had gained identity and money. He also confirmed that his ability worked for Genestellar, although it was a little trickier.

What he needed to do now was to become stronger, and he knew where he had to go now. He looked at the picture of an artificial island with the shape of a hexagon on the massive hologram screen in front of him.

"Asterisk."

Suijou Gakuen Toshi Rikka, more commonly known as Asterisk, is the primary setting of this world.

Everyone, whether the protagonist, heroines, or villains, could be found on this artificial island.

In other words, if he wanted to become stronger, the fastest way was to come to the Asterisk, the place where the story mostly happened.

Asterisk.

It is a well-kept city on an artificial island located on top of a crater lake in northern Kanto. The name comes from the bird's eye view of the city, which resembles a hexagon. The city is enormous, boasting both underground chambers and large buildings on top, as well as numerous ballast chambers to keep it afloat.

Similar to the total number of the side of the hexagon, six schools existed on this island, and he planned to transfer to one of them, yet unexpectedly, he received an invitation for a special scholarship from the Seidoukan.

As he read the invitation, he rubbed his temple since he felt weird.

'Did I steal the chance for the protagonist to enter the Asterisk?'
