Ben stood in front of the mirror, adjusting his black and white school uniform. His crimson eyes reflected the weight of his thoughts.
"A suit like Tony's could be useful. Maybe something more advanced, nano-tech with Omnitrix compatibility? the Anodite form is another path… though I've never trully awakened it. And there is also the mystic arts. if Strange can do it, so can I."
He grabbed his bag and slung it over his shoulder.
"I'll figure it out. One thing at a time.
But I have to admit this quite the nice apartment , I got thank grandpa later"
Max had found himThis apartment located on the second floor with a balcony and terrace in a new building. It is simple, cosy, modern, and bright. you can find an open kitchen with all appliances you might need: a table, 4 wooden chairs and a TV, The living room has a very comfortable double sofa bed and large windows.

'After leaving the apartment I tried looking for some anamolies but luck wasn't on my side .
Now that I think about it i could learn to use cursed energy, but how ? I can't just go to gojo and tell him to teach me, maybe I have to defeat him first ?and would curses be considerd anomlies if so I could gain some rewards easily '
Just as I was deep in thoughts I reached the front gate
Sobu High School is the generic high school setting where the series takes place. This place is modelled after Inage Senior High School in Chiba ,It was mentioned that the entrance requirements are quite high. Those who wish to gain admittance are required to score highly on the entrance exams or receive a recommendation from good junior high schools. The entrance exams are held on a single day in February. The entire school gets a day off except for the faculty.
" I got to say connections can do many things" I murmerd under my breath
— 3rd pov: —
As he stepped in with the Omnitrix concealed beneath the cuff, and red eyes dimly alight beneath blustered black hair. A murmuration of mutterings at once broke out in the courtyard.
"Whoa, who is that adorable boy ?"
" he isn't from around here, a foreign right?"
"Kinda looks like a hot anime villain."
He walked by them all, ignoring the glances and murmurs. His focus was on the future, staying under the radar was a priority. Too bad being subtle wasn't one of his abilities.

Ben's first mission to get his timetable
walking down the deserted hall to the Student Council room, sched, his morning destination. His footsteps echoed over the murmurs slightly as he headed towards the fancy door with the shiny plaque:
> "Sobu High Student Council – Authorized Entry Only"
He knocked once, and then entered.
The room was pleasantly well-furnished: tasteful curtains, shiny wooden floorboards, and a large table at the center. And seated at that table—spinning about in her chair with the energy of youth—was someone Ben couldn't help but recognize at once.
> "Heeeey~ Welcome to the Student Council office!" sang Chika Fujiwara, bouncing up with the elasticity of an anime heroine.
She had soft, pale skin, pale pink hair with a black bow tied in the middle of her square-cut bangs, and large, expressive blue eyes that appeared to shimmer with life. She smiled brightly and wore a uniform stretched tight at the chest—a thing Ben instinctively avoided looking at out of sheer self-control.
> "You must be the new transfer student! Ben, right? I'm Fujiwara Chika~ Vice President of the Student Council and Official Welcome Wagon~!"
Ben blinked, momentarily disarmed by her bubbly energy.
> "Uh, yeah… that's me. Ben Tennyson. Just here to pick up my timetable."
> "Oooh~ American accent! So cool!" Chika bounced on her heels before spinning back to the desk. "Hold on, lemme see… Tennyson, Tennyson… Here it is!"
She handed him a sheet with a flourish, looking immensely proud of herself for completing such a simple task.
> "Thanks," Ben said, chuckling slightly at her enthusiasm.
Chika tilted her head, examining him curiously, hands behind her back.
> "You look different…Mysterious."
Ben smirked. "Let's just say I'm… build different "
She gasped, eyes lighting up.
> "A transfer student with secrets?! Kaguya's going to love you~!"
Before Ben could answer, the door swung open behind him. He turned to see another form enter: Kaguya Shinomiya, She is the epitome of grace, intellect, and nobility of bearing. Standing at average height and lean, stately build, she has the demeanor of one brought up and born in a world far above the mundane cares of high school life. She moves with every step, gesture, and thought measured, controlled, and taken with subdued dignity.
She wears her long, silky black locks usually pulled back in a sleek, low ponytail held with a crimson ribbon whose ends flow behind her like a silk veil. Her coiffure frames a white, porcelain-like face that is rarely in expression but, when it is, it is mesmerizing. Her most defining feature is her deep red eyes—sharp, analytical, and piercing. They seem to probe a person's very soul, as if nothing escapes her notice.
Kaguya's school uniform is immaculate, perfectly tailored. The uptight black Sobu High uniform somehow manages to look haute couture on her—especially with the small red ribbon tied at her collar, which matches the one in her hair. In contrast to Chika's playful and energetic vibe, Kaguya's presence reeks of commanding and queenly in a way that an almost suffocating silence pervades wherever she goes.
While cold on the exterior, Kaguya is incredibly smart with an incisive strategic mind focused on psychological warfare, manipulation of people, and reading others like they're open books. She has her emotions locked behind a wall of pride and upbringing that makes her difficult to read—unless you know where to look.
She paused upon seeing Ben. Her crimson eyes locked onto his, then flicked briefly to his wrist where the Omnitrix pulsed faintly under his sleeve.
Ben's expression didn't change, but internally, alarms rang.
> She noticed.
Kaguya stepped forward slowly. "So you're the transfer student."
> "Ben Tennyson," he introduced himself again, this time more carefully. "Pleasure to meet you."
Kaguya's eyes narrowed ever so slightly. "Likewise. I'm looking forward to seeing what. you can contribute to this school."
Chika, completely unaware of the tension, clapped her hands.
> "Yay! New friend unlocked!"
Ben smiled awkwardly. As he walked away, he caught Kaguya gazing at him like a hawk
The instant Ben Tennyson entered the classroom, it was as if the air itself became still.
In class 2-B
Time was slowing down. Words dangled on their way to their mark. Heads swiveled around. Eyes were all trained not with bad intentions, but with curiosity—wonder—and only a dim glint of surprise. It wasn't just that he was a transfer student. It was how he moved: confident, cut and sharp, and just plain too clean to be a kid coming into a Japanese high school classroom for the first time.
With raven-black hair gleaming beneath the fluorescent lighting and cold, piercing red eyes, Ben did not seem to be the kind of man who was part of the fringes of high school life. No—he seemed to be a man destined to remake it.
His gaze swept around the room, taking in the subdued atmosphere of the students, until familiar faces caught his eye—faces that testified to what he had already guessed.
This was no ordinary world.
---
Yukino Yukinoshita sat near the center. There was a cold beauty to her like frost on shining glass. She wore long, midnight-black hair around a cut, sharp face. Blue eyes flashed across his for an instant, cold and calculating, but she didn't say anything and Ben felt the creeping in of her gaze narrow fractionally. The ahoge on top of her head trembled, as if noting something unusual.
He remembered her. Hikigaya's Ice Queen. Sarcastic, brutally blunt, and nearly too intelligent for her own good.
To Yukino's left was a whirlwind of warmth and color—Yui Yuigahama. Her side-bun hairstyle and energetic stance framed her as the complete opposite of Yukino. Her peach eyes gleamed when she spotted him, and leaned forward as well, curiosity etched on her face. She waved briefly with her hand before catching herself and trying to take notes as if everything were fine.
And then there was Megumi Kato, sitting quietly at the edge, almost blending into the atmosphere of the classroom. Her brown bob shifted ever so slightly as she rocked her head to glance over at him. She was so low-key visible, it seemed almost supernatural—like she was trying not to be. But Ben got the feeling that something was amiss… Was she always this hard to notice in person? It was like she was overtly suppressing her story presence.
Finally, sitting by the window in front of her future desk, Rin Tohsaka exhaled softly through her nose. Her arms were crossed on her chest, an open book resting in front of her, but her aqua-colored eyes peeked up at the page. Her wavy black hair was pulled back into perfectly coiffed twin tails, swaying gently as she leaned her head.
She observed him not with the interest of someone meeting an equal, but with the intensity of a mage studying a new and unknown object.
"Great," Ben thought. "That's four heroines or at least supporting leads in one classroom. So this is that kind of universe."
The instructor banged his hands together once, refocusing the room.
"Everyone, we have a new student today. Say hello to Ben Tennyson, an exchange student from the United States."
Ben waved half-heartedly, his face set in a smirking grin. "Yo. Nice to meet you all."
His casual greeting sent another ripple through the room.
"He's not just handsome ,he's cool."
"Are those really red eyes?"
Even Rin, who normally could not have cared less about transfer students, gradually lowered her book.
Ben scanned around for an empty chair and sure enough, there it was. In the window seat, second row from the back.
He chuckled to himself and walked over to the archetypal protagonist spot.
As he sat down, something flickered in his sight.
???? [SYSTEM NOTICE]
Main Mission: 'High School Enrollment' – COMPLETE
✅ Reward Dispensing…
Ben's posture became marginally more erect.
A blue warm interface flickered into existence before his eyes shielded from the others.
All rewards unlocked
Ultimate Evolution Protocol – ACTIVATED
✅ All compatible Omnitrix aliens now have their Ultimate Forms unlocked.
His heart skipped a beat. For an instant, he came close to losing his temper.
"Wait already? That was the first mission?!"
He needed to yell. To grin like a kid on Christmas morning. But all he could do was drum his fingers against the table, his smile spreading just a little bit wider.
'Ultimate versions. That is xlr8 stronger than ever. Heatblast? Hypernova on foot. And Diamondhead hell yes, I could take out Loki and his crew
If this is my reward for getting here first, what the fuck is the other prize gonna be?
Ben exhaled slowly.
Beneath the suave facade, his mind went haywire. This is not just a crossover world. This is a time bomb that's just about to explode
And keeping that in mind, he made a subtle change on his watch a bit below his sleeve, hiding the pale green glow.
Now… who in this world can help me awaken Cursed Energy? I need someone like Gojo Satoru or Yuta Okkotsu…
He glanced once more at his peers and noticed how there were more than a few inquisitive stares still on him including, Yui and Megumi.
' High school first… then the omniverse, Ben. One thing at a time.'
