" Student, please pay attention, please activate the map on your screens. It will guide you to the classroom ", the lady standing in front of the gate, struggled to maintain the situation under control. But luckily, most of them followed her instructions, and started to enter. The group squeezed themself in while checking the map, " hey, where should we go ? Isn't this map a bit too confusing ? ", " have you ever heard about something called cardinal points ? You're holding it upside down ", sighed Dev, while tapping on her wrist-screen. " Oh, now it makes more sense. Thank you Dev! ". " Ah, got you Lyn, I never thought that your sense of direction would be that bad ! ". Lyn shot a glare at him, " well, it's just because it's new. I'll memorize it quickly ". The others smiled. " guys, we're in the same class !! ", Esm was happy, after checking it out. " There's a list of our future classmates, maybe ? ", Lyn stretched her neck to peek at Dev's screen. " there isn't, so you can stop glancing here ". A disappointed expression was shown on her face.
Soon they reached the marked spot on the map. On the left of the door, a label was showing ' class 3 '. Lyn briskly walked in. The classroom was well lit, because there was a huge wall-window. There were about ten rows of desks, each of them separated by a space, enough to let two students pass. Lyn grabbed Esm's hand and dragged her at the end of the room. " Let's sit there ! ", " Um, well are you sure the teacher won't move you in the first row ? ", her friend rolled her eyes, recalling the past experience. A grumble was heard, so she turned her head and she noticed a guy sitting near them. Bluish hair neatly tied, falling on his back. He was supporting his head, while the emerald eyes were lazily half-closed. As she seemed to sense the stare on him, she returned it. The honey eyes went wide then they returned to normal. " Oh, it's you ! What a coincidence Adeus ! ", " Yeah, Lyn. It's nice to meet you again ". The guy smiled at her, then he threw a glance over her shoulder, meeting an unwelcoming purplish stare. His lips curled up in a taunting smirk. Lex stepped in, while dragging Ander too, " I see, you were the guy from the amusement park. It's really a coincidence to see here ". Adeus just nodded and ignored him. Lyn felt the air becoming awkward, " let's take out spots, shall we ? We've even arrived earlier for this, let's not waste our effort ". So the group discussed the best place to sit, to not be bothered by the teacher too frequently. In the end, they decided to take the seventh row, Dev seated himself next to Lyn, while the other two seated near him, and Esm on the right of Lyn.
Meanwhile more and more students were going in, soon all the rows were full. A middle aged woman was standing behind the desk. The floating glass-screen was dancing in front of one's eyes. She held on it for a moment, then tapped on the device near her ear. " Silence, silence. Now the first day of school starts officially, so pay attention. If you don't want to be expelled ". After hearing this curt speed, all the students went quiet. Now they were all looking at the teacher.
Lyn frowned. She thought that it was the very first day, yet the troubles were already starting. So annoying. A mischievous gleam flashed in the eyes.
" First of all, this class isn't your definitive, you'll be placed in a different level after the evaluating test. The rest of the day, you'll be taken to make a tour of the school. That's all ".
As she finished, a screen popped up on each desk, and a timer appeared behind here. She clapped her hands and coldly said, " the test starts now ". A displeased murmur crossed the classroom, but a sudden beep rang out. " access denied. Error ". The voice was coming from the desk of Adeus, who appeared unconcerned about the red screen. The teacher held her glass-screen and frowned. " Mr. Daft, you must leave the class. You should be attending your class, not being here ". Adeus looked at her, " Professor, the first day usually doesn't have a fixed schedule. I didn't see anywhere a rule that says that a free student can't join other classes. I didn't even bother no one, so no rules were broken ". Those remarks made the teacher's expression turn grim. To avoid further interruptions and embarrassment, she just ignored him. " The timer starts now ".
Lyn smirked and looked at him, with an approving expression, and her attention shifted on the test.
" Ummm, finally over. How was it ? ", " To tell the truth, it was quite easy, except some questions ", answered a pensive Esm. " Well, for me it was easy. Taking enough time to consider each one, was the best solution ". " aaaaaah, Dev, you were the top one in our class, it's no surprise! ", exclaimed Lyn, helplessly. He just scratched his ear, don't knowing how to reply. " Lyn, you can do it too, but only if you take it seriously ", observed Lex. " Well since now we're free, shall we make the tour ? The results will come out this evening, anyway ". The other agreed, Dev tapped on the wrist-screen to prepare a route. " There's no need to use that thing. Lyn, could I guide you to visit the structure ? ". Lyn raised her head to meet his gaze, " Oh, really? Guys, how about this, then ? ". Esn nodded, followed by the others. " It's settled then. Right, how long has it been since you were in this school ? ", " about two years ".
