I sighed after reaching outside. I felt like thanking that girl if I had the chance.
The entrance ceremony won't be over soon, what should I do. The senior high buildings have rooftops. Maybe I should stay there for a while. Wait Finn said he enrolled me but I still don't know what section I am in. It's better to find it first so I could take the shortest route towards it
That said, I headed to the G-10 classrooms. Though it's troublesome to repeat a grade it's probably convenient for me since younger students respects those repeaters to the point they call them 'Kuya'. I doubt that would be the same for me though. But even they hated me I doubt they would have the courage to mess with me.
Setting that aside I strolled into the hall of the building, and carefully scan over the posted bond paper on the door with the names of the students in the section. To my surprise, I reached the last section and not even an initial of my name appeared. Seriously? Was the initial A E that rare?
Did Finn really enroll me? Based on his perseverance to convince me he should be.
It could be another gimmick of school to make a fool of me. Maybe they intentionally didn't place my name on the posters to give me a hard time. It's a dumb thing for a teacher to do but I can't just set aside that possibility.
I should go and ask that woman about this.
I leave the building.
I'm planning to go to the rooftop but I walked over to the toilet. The toilet will be crowded soon so it's better if I take a piss now.
Inside, there's a huge mirror stick on the wall. Pabuto said that I looked aged and I can see what he means now. Man, my eyes look so dead.
It's painful for me to see the person I've become so I turned away and enter a column. I think I used to have a much better appearance than that.
Wait why I'm here?
I'm inside one of the columns of the toilet bowl. It's because there aren't any urinals in this men's toilet. Which is very unlikely for an esteemed school like this.
After pissing I rushed outside. I take pride in my ability to take the information into my brain and keep it inside. But the men's signposted in the toilet earlier changed into women.
Prank?
I reached for the sign and just I expected, it was sticky.
The first day in the school's already a battlefield.
......
The entrance ceremony ended. After giving it some thought, I came up with an idea. The one who wants me to go to school was Miss… that woman. Maybe, somehow I passed the grade.
Even though it's highly unlikely for that to happen, I still head to the G-11 building into the strand where it's highly unlikely for her to enroll me. The ABM.
Escarra, Anzai.
For real?
Villaverde Private High was one of the top schools in terms of popularity and student college acceptance rate not just in the region but in the whole country. And yet…
It's still morning yet I already felt like going home.
I hesitantly entered the classroom, I was expecting that all the students will throw stuff at me. But at the moment I entered, all of their attention was focused on only one person.
She was sitting in front of the third column of chairs. She was surrounded by our classmates I can barely even see her face. The only thing that I clearly see was her silver hair that shines like moonlight.
"Anzai! Come here."
While I'm being taken away, a familiar voice of a guy called out to me. I turn my eyes to see him.
It was Siege Guerrero, a guy that I can say 'close to me. He has blonde hair and violet eyes.
He was sitting at the back of the classroom while waving at me. I didn't get to talk to him for a while so I decided to approach him.
While I'm walking I notice that the atmosphere around me drastically changes. They might have noticed me when Siege called out to me.
After seeing me he snickers and said:
"Seriously, what's with your hair? !"
The last time I visit a barbershop was before school starts last year. And my hair isn't straight so it's messy.
"I'm poor now. I should not waste any more money for pointless stuff like cutting my hair." I said while pulling the chair beside him.
I sat and look around me again. The crowd around that girl disappears. The students around her go to their own seats. The room couldn't be more quieter. But we just ignore that and continue talking to each other.
"You said that but I bet you're still spending money buying weapons and purchasing VIP."
"Well, I'm taking my gaming career seriously. More importantly, why did you pick ABM? Last time I check you're not even a bit interested in business." I shove off the topic and ask him a question.
Since Grade 7-10 we were always in the same class. I'm not gonna be surprised if he only enrolled in this track to be in the same class as me.
"To be in your class of course."
What?
"You know, I barely even pass last year. So I figured that I can't do anything without your help. That's why I enrolled in ABM as well." He proudly said.
I don't know if I'm gonna be moved or annoyed. That sly woman keeps on pestering me about preparing for the future when her brother was the hopeless one.
"You finally admitted your inferiority I see."
Siege gritted his teeth but he made a forced smile on her stiff face.
"What? Want me to beat you to a pulp?"
I sneered and turn my head away.
I guess he can't really keep an act. Why would he even act like that anyway?
While we're bickering, my eyes are crossed with the new student who's looking at us.
This is the first time I see her face though her hair was covering a little bit of her face. It's enough for me to say that my expectations didn't betray me.
I don't know how to describe it but her beauty is something that I've never seen before. It's beyond the beauty of models and actresses I know.
My breath halted, the moment her bright white eyes connect with mine.
Wait! That face, that white yellow eyes, those moonlight hair color. I do see this girl before.
I heard that the game creator based that character on his own deceased daughter. But if she's already dead then how come there's a girl in front of me who looks exactly like that character.
Siege, who irritated me earlier, look at me with a teasing expression.
"I see so you're interested in her as well. Anzai as your friend I will gladly hand her over to you." He said while he put his hand on my shoulder.
Perhaps he noticed me staring at the new student.
"I'm not interested in her so you can keep her to yourself."
"In my opinion, I think you really suit each other though."
How can you say that to a girl you just met today.
"Keep your opinion to yourself," I said
Siege scowled at me.
"What?"
He sat back in his chair.
"Nothing. It just feels like you've changed a lot."
"Hey, Luna wanna go with us and buy something?" Three of our girl classmates ask the new student to accompany them. But I think they just noticed us talking about her.
"Yes!" she replies with a joyous smile.
The voice is a little different.
I can clearly see her great figure the moment she stands up.
Her white hair reaches her hips. She's not busty nor flat either. Her physiques exactly the same as what it's written in Lumina's description.
As she walk in front of the room, not just me but the other guys were staring at her too.
"Luna," I murmured to myself.
Her name describes her hair.
"Yes, that's her name. She said she was living alone because her family was abroad." Siege who seems to hear what I said, explained.
Lumina and Luna, not so much of a difference. No matter what phenomenon is, this is just a dream-like experience. Seeing your favorite 2d character you like comes to life.
At this moment someone who's in my position will be overjoyed. But somehow I felt a little strange. Perhaps because I'm just overthinking it, but it's not that strange for me to think that she's a shapeshifter after all what happened in the...huh?
"AAAAAH!"
In a beat, my body lost its strength and dropped to the floor. In just a brief moment I felt like something was tearing my body from the inside.
My sudden outburst took the attention of the people inside that includes Luna and the people swarming her.
"Anzai! What's wrong?"
Siege was the one who came to help me.
"N- nothing."
"Nothing? Your trembling so much for nothing."
"I just realized, I haven't watched the latest episode of that anime yet."
Siege stared at me then he left my one hand up.
I got back to my seat. Just what the heck was that just now?
Cold gazes directed to me.
"Where are you going class was about to start."
At the moment they are about to exit the room a woman enters. The three apologize and go back to their seats.
The woman that entered was her. The teacher that's been calling at me earlier that I ignored.
What is she doing here? I thought she was a PE teacher in Grade 10
"Okay stop talking and seat properly. I'm Hera Guerrero and I'm going to be your advisor for this school year. Let's all have a great year." She said as she sneered and look at me.
Until now she's very creepy but it was more like a sexy look when she has that sadistic vibes.
A mature woman probably the same age as Finn. She has a mature body, blonde long hair, and violet eyes. Apparently, yes she is Siege's sister.
Now I know why I passed.
"I know you already know each other. But I want you to introduce yourselves so I can identify you and for our transfer student as well." She said.
And with the reply of "Yes Ma'am!" all of the students agreed. Then she continued.
"I would like it if you introduce yourself. Miss transfer student. " She said while pointing to the new student.
The new student nodded her head in reply. Then she stood up in front of the chalkboard.
Now that I can clearly see her face, she really is pretty.
"Good morning everyone, I'm Luna Alinac. I have just arrived in this city so I don't know anyone yet. Just like everyone else I like to make many fun memories during my high school days. So I will do my best to get along with you all." Then she bows her head. And with that, her introduction ended with a bright smile on her face.
It's just a simple introduction but everyone in the class was clapping and cheering specifically the boys. Well, I can't blame them.
But her beauty is not what's bothering me now.
Alinac huh? I think I've heard that name before.
All of the students started introducing themselves one by one. Saying what they like, hobbies, and anything else that describe themselves. While I'm still thinking of going out.
Without me knowing it Siege who seat before me finish introducing himself. Now it's finally my turn. I stand up and walk to the front. Even I'm not looking at them I can tell that there not very fond of seeing me.
I scratch my head and muster up my courage to speak.
"I'm Anzai Escarra, nice to meet you all." I finish my introduction with that.
Somewhere in the class says; "Well, It's not nice to meet you at all." Then someone says "Shhh..."
I then decided to exit and go back to my seat but my teacher beside me grab my shoulder.
"I think there is still something you want to tell us about. Right." She said while smiling mischievously at me.
"No, I don't think I still have something to say. Especially if no one wants to listen to it." I intentionally say it so she would let me go if I pissed off my classmates. But she strengthen her grip and said;
"Right! The transfer student is still listening. You know."
She really pushes me to say more. I don't think it's to humiliate me but to make me get along with the class. Which is so impossible.
I don't really want to stay here any longer. But;
"Okay, then can I ask the transfer student a question?"
She loses her grip and asks the new student if I can ask her a question.
"O, Okay." The new student reluctantly answered while giving me a confused look.
She's probably thinking what does this freak want. I connect my gaze with her but unlike earlier, it wasn't the same. Something overshadowed that feeling.
"Did you know someone named Finn?" I asked her.
Ever since I hear her last name it didn't get off my head. I search Finn's last name through the internet but no match or result came out. So I immediately assume that it's fabricated. It's my surprise that the new student has the same last name as him.
"N- No, I don't know anyone with that name. W- Why did you ask? Did you know him?" Luna was stuttering while saying that.
I go back to my seat without answering her.
Now I see, taking in that butler was a big mistake.
