Sakuruppi

[sublimazion3]

Have you ever been inspired by each other recently?Miyawaki: For me, while Haruppi was taking a break, I didn't realise how much a hole in my heart would open. The person who was always beside me suddenly disappeared, I began to feel a sense of responsibility and burden like [I have to do my best as a 1st gen]. Without knowing it I had relied on her for so long and never realised. (Is this real??? Sakura DO care about Happy omg)

I don’t know where this is from, but I read something before the SSK where Sakura said something similar, yet super gay which only made my Sakuruppi-OTP-heart die even more.

How did Sakura become popular? I just finish watching hkt documentaries and from my understanding, haruppi was the og center for hkt. Meru & Mio was center for their very first single. Sakura was never center, but suddenly she was rank in ssk and she just keep climbing up since then. Sakura get a center in akb first before hkt (how does that even work?), why don't they just transfer her to akb? I'm just really curious.

One thing we have to understand, is that HKT48 followed a very different trajectory as compared to its predecessors in SKE48 and NMB48. Where SKE48 and NMB48 followed the established formula of a single set of Aces from its first generation (wMatsui for SKE48, and SayaMilky for NMB48), HKT48 took a rather different approach, appointing two different pairs of Aces, one from each generation, to frontline the group - Sakuruppi from HKT1G, and MeruMio from HKT2G. It was a controversial choice, but it allowed for HKT48 to diversify its options and spread its efforts across multiple fronts without having to rely too much on a single set of Aces. Kodama and Miyawaki were deployed to assist with HKT48′s presence on AKB48′s mainstream releases, while Tomonaga and Tashima would then focus on headlining HKT48′s own A-sides.

In 2012, while Kodama would have been the first HKT48 member to be given a Senbatsu spot in an AKB48 A-side (Manatsu no Sounds Good), it would be Miyawaki that would prove to be the more popular and profitable member. With her breakout success at 2012′s Sousenkyo, she would then go on to become a regular featuring member on AKB48′s releases as HKT48′s representative. I can’t give you an exact answer to explain Miyawaki’s popularity, but I do believe it’s a combination of her own unique brand of charisma, and aggressive marketing on the part of Management.

Now, as to why all this happened despite Miyawaki never actually being the named Center for HKT48′s A-sides more than once - this goes back to HKT48′s unique organization of its Aces. By deploying MeruMio as Centers for its first 3 singles (Suki! Suki! Skip! - Sakura, Minna de Tabeta), this allowed Miyawaki and Kodama to focus on their efforts in establishing the foundations of HKT48′s presence within the 48G-wide Coalition Senbatu. In 2014, with Miyawaki finally breaking into Senbatsu at that year’s Sousenkyo ahead of her peers, HKT48 would then re-appoint Kodama as its Center with “Hikaeme I Love You!” (perhaps as an effort to try and keep her ‘on par’ with Miyawaki) until Matsuoka Hana took over with “Saikou ka yo” in 2016. This arrangement allowed Miyawaki to focus entirely on her role as HKT48′s cornerstone representative on 48G’s Coalition Senbatsu, and build upon her own popularity and presence even further. There was no real need to make Miyawaki the sole Center of HKT48 when she could be playing ball for the organization at a much higher level, and when there are other members (Kodama/Tomonaga/Tashima/Matsuoka) who are just as qualified to function as HKT48′s Centers on the home front.

CHAPTER: 01, 02, 03

Main Characters: Matsui Jurina, Miyawaki Sakura

Pairings: JuriSaku, WMatsui, NanaSaku/SakuNaa, YuriAnnin,  SakuRuppi (friendship),JuriMomo (friendship); [Mayu/?, Saya/?, Yui/?].

Summary: Matsui Jurina is the immovable ace of St. Hildegard’s School of Magic. Considered a protégé by many Wizard Saints, her technique and mastery is second to none. Enter Miyawaki Sakura, talentless, unrefined and socially awkward. Her golden ticket for admission into the elite school is her late father’s legacy.

What happens when Sakura suddenly gets transferred to the Special Class because of a lottery? Will the mysterious ace take interest? (Magic School AU)

“We’ve been waiting for you Morning Star.” The words were spoken carefully, almost with a tinge of adoration. The masked assailant’s storm of weapons was extinguished as they touched the barrier around Jurina and Sakura. It did not seem to alarm the intruder. She merely stood her ground, marveling at the display of force before her.

“Rage against the dying of the light.” The unknown woman muttered, her lips curving into a satisfied smile.

Veni ad me–The voice sounded clearer than ever, each word reverberated inside Sakura’s head like a pendulum in its infinite course.

Who are you? What do you want? Was is this? A multitude of questions flooded Sakura’s mind, her body was still numb from the sudden surge of astral force. Feeling the height of her own aura for the first time in her life was to intense that it suffocated her. Sakura panted heavily, sinking to her knees. Everything was a haze, her head felt like it was about to explode. The insignia of the Celtic cross glowed dimly below where she was crouched over, after a few more seconds, the symbol disappeared.

“Sakura?” Jurina called out once more but the other girl’s head was still bowed.

Jurina pressed on her bleeding shoulder to administer a healing spell. The energy sphere protecting them dispersed thereafter. “What have you done to her?” Jurina’s incisive glare was dead-set on the half-masked attacker.

“Do you know what the smell of blood does to sharks? To wolves? To vultures hunting for their prey?” The woman asked. Her weapons now formed a protective circle around her as she braced herself for the blonde’s counterattack. “It sends them to a frenzy,” Before she could even finish her sentence, a surge of black fire from Jurina engulfed the weapons; the different metals melted like candle wax. “This school, they’re harboring monsters.”

“I have little patience for your riddles.“The Ace hissed; the ebony flames continued to burn around the attacker.

"All that is needed is a trigger, a reminder… a stroke of anger for one’s beastial instincts to awaken.” The unnamed woman smirked. Instead of magically countering Jurina’s spell, a sword materialized in her hand. She dashed out of the black fire’s circumference, slicing through the flames.

“Are you not flattered, Jurina-sama? The mere sight of your injury has made the flower of rage blossom in that girl’s heart?” She began to assault the Ace with a flurry of physical attacks, which the latter deflected via small energy discs. “Beautiful, is it not?” The masked assailant’s movements were too quick, too precise for Jurina to invoke a second magical sequence that she was relegated to deflecting the blows.

Jurina side-glanced at Sakura who was still on the ground. She internally deliberated if she could risk all her defenses and just teleport Sakura to safer ground. The girl remained unresponsive. It would be more agreeable to secure her safety above all else, especially after their attacker directly announced she came for ‘the girl’–for Sakura.

Jurina was preparing to cast a spell around the freshman when a distortion rocked Valhalla. Chains darted towards their unnamed attacker and instantly she was brought kneeling to the ground. 

Two figures had entered their alternate space.

“What did I tell you about damage absorption, kiddo? With a fighting style like yours, your greatest defense is offense.” Oshima Yuko, Central Dogma’s prime Hunter held the chains that bound the masked attacker. She smirked at Jurina and then turned to her partner, “What do we do with this, Takamina?”

“To defile the holy ground of this Academy, more so, to threaten the life the students is unforgivable.” Takahashi Minami pulled out a silver pistol from her leather holster. She aimed at the intruder, a bullet imbued with paralixia whizzed to the air.

The bullet was sliced in half before it hit its target. A lithe girl with long ebony hair and full bangs  had joined the fray. She wielded an unusually long all-white Katana; her sword’s hand guard had an intricate design of a tiger while the pommel had jade embellishments. The newcomer’s features were also obscured by the same half mask the cloaked intruder wore; however, quite noticeable were her traditional garbs. She was decked in a deep crimson kimono with a large pattern of a black crane. 

“Rie-san, Master says it’s time to go back!” She spoke in an exuberant tone before throwing a flaming ofuda that was intended to break her ally’s binding.

The chains that bound the cloaked woman called ‘Rie’ shattered to pieces. “That girl, you do not understand what she is. We have waited for a hundred years, a few days will not be any more difficult.” With Rie’s words, a crack in Valhalla’s dimension materialized. Both assailants disappeared into the portal.

Valhalla slowly disintegrated as the black pass reconstructed itself in Jurina’s grasp. She returned the card in her pocket and turned to the two hunters. “What are you doing here?”

Yuko grinned while motioning to the younger girl. She proceeded to ruffle Jurina’s blonde hair. “Eh? Not even a hug for your beloved mentor?”

“Yuko-san.” Jurina frowned, being treated like a child even after all these years certainly would not boost her morale the slightest.

“It’s been a while, Jurina. You’ve grown up.” Takamina smiled as she approached them.

“There’s big room for improvement though. What was that J? Not being able to sustain a physical parry is humiliating for the first in rank.” Yuko laughed heartily, despite her blunt words she was merely being mischievous.

“I was caught off guard.” The student sighed, not taking the slightest offense in the hunter’s jeering. Oshima Yuko was the Ace during her days in the Academy, she would tease Jurina at times over their power scale.

In reality, Jurina did not wish to disclose to Yuko that she was experiencing some upset in controlling her aura.

“Really, both of you.” Takamina shook her head. Part of her was glad that some things remained familiar in St. Hildegard Academy. Seeing Jurina was quite nostalgic. 

She bent down to the freshman who was still in a catatonic state. “Are you alright, young lady?” Concern overflowed from each word. She was about to hold the girl by the shoulder when the insignia of a Celtic cross reappeared around the freshman for a split of a second. It took Takamina by surprise.

Sakura collapsed in her arms. “There, there…” Takamina coaxed, her motherly instincts kicking in almost seamlessly.

Shinoda Mariko, the adviser of the Special Class hastily entered the scene. Her eyes scanned her students. “I’ll take it from here.” She said while carrying the unconscious girl. Not long after, Haruna in her hawk form landed beside the professor. Mariko placed Sakura on the bird’s back with great delicacy.

“Nyan-nyan!” Yuko exclaimed but the red bird immediately took flight with Sakura in tow before the hunter could even take a step forward.

“Yuko, Takamina, the Headmaster is waiting.” Mariko’s tone was urgent. “As for you, would you care to tell me what transpired, Matsui?”

Jurina nodded.
