MISSION UNDERCOVER : pt1 returning home as someone else !

Now that Silvaren's taught me everything I know, it's time to practice and develop my own skills and uses of Aether. This may take a while, but it should be fine. I'll also ask Elia to make a few things to help with the next phase of the plan.

After pondering his grand plan, Rukito goes to Silvaren to ask if he can return to the human world. He fabricates a reason, claiming there's something he needs to do there. Reluctant about Rukito's request, Silvaren doesn't think much of it but tells him he may only leave once his appearance is fully changed, as by then he would be king and would have the power to come and go as he pleases, as well as gain full access to the tree's power rather than just half. 

The time I have to wait is uncertain, so in the meantime, I can only improve my own skills. I also asked Elia to make a few things for me that would greatly help in gathering information. I spent time with Tama, as she is excellent at hiding her tail and ears to appear human if she chooses. Kuragari has agreed to teach me about mind reading, but I must take in her essence to inherit that power. However, she also wanted something from me and now appears to be at least ten times stronger. I'm not going into the method of how I needed to help, but according to her, it's thanks to me that she's stronger, which is good, as I will need more strong allies.     

5 Days 1 year later: 
After coming here five days ago, I learned that time moves differently between the two realms, as it has been four years since Sayo died and I ended up in that realm. But I have only been there for two years. I'm now going by a different name, Haruki, which was my name in my first life, so that works. After I fully became an elf, my hair turned a light whitish-blue, my eyes became lighter, and my ears changed. For my disguise, I just made my ears look human again.

To blend in, I killed off the King's brother's eldest son, Charls. I made sure to read all his memories to learn how to act like him and used my clone to disguise myself as him. My clone then adopted me as Charls, saying I had great potential. Charls has royal blood, so no one would ask questions about where I came from or the orphanage I was from. We did, however, come up with a backstory saying I was in an accident that killed my parents, causing me to lose all my memories except for my name, so they wouldn't ask me any questions and would rather feel sorry for me.

After integrating my clone and me into this family, I learned that the Grayfields are from Charls' wife's side. So, in terms of status, I am way higher than him. With my clone as Charls, it won't be hard to get information on all this kingdom's details, including everyone involved in the plan to attack the school dorms. It's considerably more than just targeting me for no reason.

Upon investigation, I discovered that they informed the public that the brilliant mage Rukito went mad and lost control, leading him to slaughter everyone in the town, including those he loved. What a pile of nonsense! They are now accusing me of something I did not do. I wonder if my older sister buys this falsehood or not. In any case, nobody will stop me, not even her.

I had my clone enroll me in the Royal High School of Heber, named after the kingdom, The Heber Empire. Becoming a student at a school filled with royals is the best way to become friendly with them, gain their trust, and take out any potential threats before even declaring war on them. I may be strong, but I can't underestimate my opponent just because I'm confident in my own ability. The best plan can only work if there are fewer variables, and what better way to do so than to destroy the foundation first.

As Rukito walks to his new dorm, he sees a black cat with white fur walking alongside him. The cat seems to have taken a liking to him and even rubbed itself against him. Taking a liking to this cute cat, Rukito decides to take it with him to the dorm. He had a cat in his previous life and thinks, why not adopt it? Rukito picks it up and says, "Hmm, you are black, so I'll call you Kuro; it's the only name I can think of that suits you, hehe." The cat even understands how lazy of a name that is but is happy that he took it in.    

    I decided to go two days before school starts to check the place out, get familiar with it, and potentially see who my roommate is. I had my clone put me in a room with someone in royalty or the closest to royalty to befriend them, potentially leading to getting to know their family and finding out any useful information.

The school here takes in students from 15 and teaches them for 3 years before graduation. I am 17, but I enrolled as a first-year because it's easier to get to know people, and studying for 3 years while gathering information at the same time aligns with my plan. There was an entrance exam, but having been here only 5 days, I couldn't take it, so I had my clone rank me in second place.
I did this to not stand out while still ranking high.
People think that someone who is second would be too high and noticeable, but let me ask you this: if I ask you who scored the highest in your class or who the fastest man is, most of you know it, but what about the second fastest man, the second highest? You forgot; no, you never even cared to know before I asked. My profile as Haruki is a swordsman with great talent for healing as well. As for other magic, I'm only average.

Most people study 2 to 3 types of elemental magic, but only a select few can use healing magic, so healers are wanted in terms of rarity, which works to my advantage. Setting a profile different from the abilities I'm known for is better to avoid tying Haruki to Rukito, as back then, I mastered all elemental type magic and created new types of elemental magic.  

At last, after a leisurely stroll to the dorm with Kuro, I arrive at my dorm. This dorm room is significantly larger than what typical individuals possess, or so I've been told. Upon unlocking the door with the key my clone provided, I enter to find a girl with red hair and blue eyes seated at her desk. It appears she is writing something. Hold on, my roommate is a girl!!??
