Chapter 3

The Visitor from the Past is the third chapter of the Rakudai Kishi no Eiyuutan Manga.

Summary
Ikki is first seen finishing his daily jog as Stella comes from behind being very tired from doing the jog as well. Ikki congratulates her for being able to keep up with him, as well as doing far better then the first two days she did this, as she had passed out the first time and threw up the second. Ikki then notices the sign stating the opening ceremony and was excited for the opportunity the year was going to present. He was also excited about seeing his little sister again, who was the only one from his family, who treated him normally, prompting Stella to wonder what Ikki's sister was like.

Yuuri Oreki welcomes her new first year students to hagun academy, very enthusiastically. Stella had gotten tired of the teacher very easily, but Ikki assured her that Yuuri was an excellent teacher. Yuuri then explains hagun academy's process for selecting the participants for the seven sword art festival, having it based on combat instead of the usual ability points. She also explains that each student will be receiving the match information through their student handbook. A student asked her if they had to participate in the selection process to which she had said no, but encouraged them to do so anyways as this style could give anyone a chance to become the sword art king. The class then smiled at her inspirational words and Ikki remembered that because of Yuuri he had gotten a fair student evaluation. Yuuri then gives into her ailment as a child, having a weak constitution, and coughs up blood causing Ikki to take her to the infirmary, while an unnamed girl cleans up the mess.

Ikki returns to the classroom, after taking Yuuri to the infirmary, and is greeted with a hug from the previously unnamed girl, who is very excited to see him. She then introduced herself as Kagami Kusakabe, who is a big fan of his, after his match against Stella. Kagami then asks Ikki if she could write an article about him, as she wants to create a newspaper club for this school, being very seductive while asking so. However, before Ikki could answer, Manabe, one of the freshmen, interrupts stating that it wasn't possible for Ikki to beat Stella, stating that it was fixed match, angering Ikki. Manabe then has his four other freshmen draw out their devices and attack Ikki. Ikki however without using his device is able to easily see through and defeat the four freshmen. Ikki is then able to stop Manabe's device, a gun, by simply throwing an eraser in the gun before it is able to fire off, causing Manabe to fall to the ground. As everyone was in a stunned awe by what they had just seen, clapping was heard from the doorway, with Ikki happily recognizing her as his sister Shizuku. Shizuku then kisses Ikki, on the mouth, much to everyone's surprise.
