"Ugggh my head. what the hell happend" groaning and holding my forehead
"The hell?" My head really hurt
"Student Gin are you feeling alright? Do you need to go to the nurses office?" My teacher Mr. Kusakabe asked me.
"No, I'm fine. I need to go to the bathroom though."
"Alright be quick about it." He said waving me off
"Thank you."
I got up and hurried to the bathroom. I turned on the sink and splashed some water on my face.
Okay what was that i suddenly have a bunch of memories I didn't have before. So let's go over what I gained. One I've reincarnated and my current world is an anime, apparently. Two everything else I gained is related to Gundam. Fuck that's not much is it. Okay let's check timeline. I only know this is the build fighters world.
I took my smart device, and searched the name Sei Iori.
Okay so Sei Iori won the championship 5 years ago. Which means I'm close to the try fighters era. It's weird looking back on my current life now. I've never really gotten the hype of Gundam. Previous me your fucking moron. My current school also doesn't have a team. Well I guess I'm transferring schools. Should be easy honestly my parents are rich. Oh god I forgot my dad is huge Gundam nerd. Again me before these memories. Stop being stupid. Well I'll just make an excuse like I was actually listening when he rambled on about Gundam. Might get labeled as a tsundere by my parents, but worth it.
With those thoughts I made my way back to class. Were I proceeded to tune out the teachers entirely. I started sketching my ideas while waiting for school to end so I can go home.
"I'm home!"
"Welcome back, how was school today?" My father Kai Murasaki is a tall man muscular man. Practically a giant in Japan. However, underneath that intimidating figure is a massive Gundam nerd. Not that I'm onto talk given my new memories. I decided to get straight to the point.
"Dad I want to transfer schools. I want to go to Gunpla academy in Sendai."
He looked visibly confused. His usual stern face shattered. Then he broke in to a massive grin and shouted. That startled me quiet abit.
"YEEEESSSSSS!!! YOU FINALLY REALIZED THE GLORY OF GUNDAM!!"
I was not expecting that response. I was expecting him to question it. Like "what why? You've never been interested before." However immediate acceptance was not what I expected.
My mother, Junko Murasaki, came in due to dad shouting. By the way she's the CEO of a major tech company experimenting with virtual reality. My father is her head researcher.
"What is it? Why are you shouting?" She was exasperated with his antics, but she loved him very much. My father is kind of a whipped husband.
"Our son wants to go to Gunpla academy. He has been enlightened!!"
She sighed
"You do realize he has to build one to actually get into that school? Even with our money and connections. They value talent and ability above all else."
"That's true…" he looked dejected at that
"However, as he's never shown interest before. It wouldn't hurt to let him try before we say no."
"Great!" My father jumped out of his chair. Grabbed me by the wrist and pulled me to his Hobby room.
I hadn't been in here since I was little, and he was trying to get me into Gundam. The walls were lined with model kits, tools, paints. There was even a high end 3d printer, decal maker and computer with 3d modeling software in the corner.
"Pick anything you see that catches your fancy. Set your imagination free my boy."
He was extremely excited.
I looked over the models. I noticed there were no parts from Iron blooded orphans. I then remembered that Iron blooded orphans came out after try fighters. Thankfully past life me also made custom parts and dabbled in this stuff. Hmm my favorite series were, Double 00, IBO, and Wing. However despite liking Wing. It was mainly the story. I wasn't a fan of a lot of the mobile suit designs early on.
Infact only the endless waltz stuff fit my preferences. I grabbed a Jagd Arche Gundam Gunpla kit, Seravee and a 00 Gunpla kit. I put them on my fathers work bench while I print some custom parts I then made my way over to the computer. My father didn't say anything. I guess he wanted to see if I could pull off what I'm doing. I created the 3d model for Barbatos Lupus Rex.
Gunpla are a little more complex it seems when your making your own stuff
As programming knowledge is needed too. Thankfully that's what I was planning to do before the memories. So that helped.
After reviewing the parameters and code of the Gundams from SEED. I figured out how to invert the code for phase shift armor. IBO, despite being regressed in technology, had some genuinely insane tech. Some they just couldn't replicate anymore. One such example is the Nanolaminate armor on basically every moblie suit and space ship. Unless it's an extremely high power beam weapon, like the Hasmal mobile armor's, it's not doing shit.
It might seem unfair when a majority of actual gundams use beam weaponry. On top of nanolaminte being genuinely good armor. However, most mass produce mobile suits use physical weapons. SEED's phase shift does the opposite. Not to mention Gundams that punch, or use physical melee weapons, like Exia.
I also made some parts from the Gundams Flaros. As well as a custom coded and slightly edited version of Endless Waltz's Wing Zero. From IBO I printed Flaros' shoulder mounted Dainsleif Railguns. How brutal was the calamity war that they needed 72 Gundams probably the most Gundams out of any series.
Once all the parts were printed out as well as some customs joint pieces for the skeleton to accommodate my design. I made a Red stylized decal of a wolf's head with black wings and had that printed as well. I then gathered all the tools and glue I needed to put it together. I don't know how much time had passed time past before it was assembled and painted. I was too in the zone. I think I was up all night because when I finished painting my dad came in with different cloths and coffee. His eyes widened and it looked like he almost dropped his coffee.
"Wow…"
That was all he said for a good five minutes. As he marveled at my creation.
"So what's its name?"
I thought hard about that.
"Gundam Goetia." I could've called it Barbatos. But it felt wrong to do so with all the things I've added.
It was primarily black and red with some metallic silver on joints. The wings were a heavily modified custom version of the Angel wings from endless waltz. They were slightly larger with a space underneath for 00's GN drives. The bottom feathers could detach and become bits acting as either ranged or melee weapons. One of the coolest weapons I've seen.
The melee weapon was jagd arch gundam's greatsword, because I needed a melee weapon. I realized part way through printing that the Dainsleifs wouldn't work shoulder mounted due to the wings so I shortened them and made them a hip weapon. Like Strike Freedom Gundam or Gundam Seravee. I also realized that since the Dainsleif have massive recoil, even for a IBO Gundam weapon. I needed to make some supports for its legs to brace for firing.
I managed to code something I liked to call Transam-Rampage. It combines the Transam of 00 with the limiter removal of Barbatos. There is a downside I learned from simulating it on a computer. Goetia would enter a cooldown period for about 60 seconds and be unable to move. Better than destroying my nervous system like Mikazuki did. Plus the bits would still function autonomously and try to protect me. Coded Seravee's GN field because shields. And I shifted Barbato's tail blade down to the waist. Along with Barbatos' 300mm Smoothbore cannon, and a second internal armor of Phase shift armor. This thing is a monster.
It mights seem unfair but I looked it up. Nothing I made was against regulations. In other words if people complain its a skill issue.
My father looked at me. pride clearly in his eyes.
"Let's go test it. We can go to the local Gunpla shop. Afterwards let's get you registered for the solo bracket of the regional tournament in two days. If you do well it should help get you in easier. After all you will need more than just building skills."
"I understand." as I nodded in response. I packed it into case designed to carry a Gunpla. Dad had some spares because he no longer fights.
"Honey we're going to the Gunpla store to test Gin's Gunpla. Also I've sent in a request for a leave of absence until we can get him transferred."
"Not until Gin gets some rest, and you eat breakfast your not!"
It occurred to me I had not slept. The exhaustion hit me all at once with that realization. And so I passed out.
I awoke to find myself in my room. The clock said it was noon. I got up, got changed, cleaned myself, and took a shower. Once that was done I went down and ate a huge lunch. Then my dad, who could no longer contain himself, dragged me to the Gunpla store.
"Hey Gonta." My dad waved t the shopkeep.
"Kai how you been? It's been two weeks since you last were here. Your normally here 4 times a week."
"Ahh schedules been tight lately. Major breakthroughs and stuff."
"Oi, is that." the shopkeeper, named Gonta, looked at me.
"Yes, it's my son. He's finally come around me custom built and coded his own Gunpla."
"… your fuckin with me." He stared at me with disbelief. That was the reaction I expected earlier. Not instant acceptance.
My father just gestured to show him. I put the case on a nearby table, and opened it to reveal Goetia.
"Holy shit… this is his FIRST time building one!?"
LYeah I had a similar reaction last night, but internally because I didn't want to interrupt his concentration. Tell him the name
"I call it ASW-G-00 Goetia or just Gundam Goetia." I was proud of it. My sketches although modified in actual creation turned out beautifully.
"Goetia huh, well the name fits the coloring and design are pretty demonic in nature."
I was suprised he got that reference. More people invest time in Gundam instead of other hobbies, like occultic studies for example.
"Demonic?"
And my dad clearly did not get the reference.
"It refers to the 72 demons of the Ars Goetia in the Lemegeton. It's an occult thing don't worry about it."
"Ah never was one for that stuff."
"Oi, new guy. Overheard you were testing your first Gunpla I'll be your opponent." A tall man called out to me I recognized him immediately. Saga Andou AKA Dead End Saga. He's a rookie crusher and as far as I know undeafeated. He's sadistic too.
"Okay, but only if damage is set to zero."
He flashed me a savage grin.
"Okay, but be prepared to lose regardless."
He wasn't apart of Gunpla academy or team celestial sphere yet if I recall. I think he joined after Wilfred kijima beat him a year from now. Speaking of Wilfred, I remember his sister was really smart.
Authors note: bored wanted to write something to see if it would dislodge my writers block. Vaugly remembered I liked build fighter. Found like 3 fics on it so here we are.
