" Yum!", Wade exclaimed as he was enjoying his meal.
" Eat slowly before you choke on your food again.", Rafaela scolded him.
The girls stay at Wade's room for dinner twice or thrice a week depending on their schedules and leave before eight o'clock.
" Oh yeah, the principal told us that there will be a transfer student that will arrive tomorrow.", Alex said while wiping her mouth with a table napkin.
" Really?", Melissa's curiosity was piqued. " What is he like? Or she?"
" We don't know. Dad didn't give us much information on why this transfer student decided to transfer this time of the year.", Rafaela stood and delivered her plate to the sink.
" I hope he or she's strong. ", Melissa enthusiastically said.
Wade bloatedly stood up and walked towards the fridge. " Why is that important?"
" Hmp.", Melissa frowned. " How are you so relaxed? If I had a common class armor, I'd be busting my butt training everyday. But look at you, living lazy day by day without a care in the world."
*BUUURRRRRPPPP*
Wade loudly burped after eating his jello.
" She's right, you know.", Rafaela said as she took Wade's plate and delivered it to the sink. " If you keep this up, you won't be able to pass the final exam at the end of each semester."
" You girls don't need to worry about me." Wade walked towards the window and opened it giving them a view of the full moon. The light breeze brushed his white hair as each strand waved slowly together with the wind. The serious yet calm look on his plain dark eyes was enough to keep the girls' mouth shut.
He then faced them, picked his nose and scratched his butt cheeks. " Do you want to play cards?"
" Pfft--- aHahahah.", Alex laughed out loud. " Sure--, sounds fun."
" You're really weird, do you know that?", Melissa said in a disappointed tone.
" Weird? How so?", he asked while flicking his booger.
" YOU DISGUSTING PIECE OF GARBAGE!!", Rafaela suddenly jumped in front of him and gave him a strong uppercut that sent him flying out his window.

*RIIIINNGGGG!!* *RIIIINNNGGG!!*
Alex clicked her alarm off and sat straight for a few seconds.
She was a bit drowsy as she stood up in her pajamas while rubbing her eye. Took her toothbrush and faced the mirror.
Even with her hair unfixed, her big brown eyes with naturally long lashed and her doll shaped face is still as pretty as any top tier waifu.
After brushing her teeth, she wore her summer uniform , took a ready-to-go sandwich from her fridge and left her room. Alex is the only General class student that still lives in the girls dormitory. All the other general class students own their own land and houses within the island.
Near the elevator at the entrance of the dormitory are the mailboxes. Alex checked her mailbox and found a letter with a royal seal on it.
She opened the letter and skimmed the contents while walking. She closed the letter as if nothing was wrong and closed her eyes.
" Good morning, Alex!", greeted the female students with a smile.
" Good morning!", Alex replied with a lively tone. She smiled and waved at them. She then discreetly crumpled the letter and hid it in her pocket.
-----
" Fufufufu! So this is the place!", said the little girl while proudly putting her hand on her waist. " It's not bad at all! Great job, Seb! Fuhahaha!!"
The other students that were passing by were weirded out just by watching her.
" What's her deal?"
" I didn't know the academy was accepting grade schoolers."
" Hey kid, are you lost?"
" Kid?-", The little girl grabbed the student's collar. " Who are you calling a kiddddddd!!!???"
" I didn't mean-"
She suddenly dragged the student and threw him from the main gate to the river.
" AHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
The other students were shocked at what they saw. The distance from the gate to the river is easily 100 to 150 meters.
She then calmly walked towards the main campus as if nothing happened. Everyone was frozen with fear and just watched her as she entered the campus.
----
" Everyone! We have a new student joining our class starting today.", Said Ms. Jean, the advisor of class 1-B. " Please come in and introduce yourself."
The little girl walked in with a cute bunny backpack, large pitch black eyes, short snow white hair and a cute petite body.
" I am Puff! But my friends call me Puff! I am half human and half dwarf! And I am a general from the kingdom of Helen! Nice to meet you, human children!"
The class was quiet for a couple of seconds.
" It's the first time I've seen a real life dwarf."
" So, can we call you Puff, too?"
" You're a general from what?"
"-It doesn't matter. Look at her! She's sooo cute!!"
" Fufufu! Go on! Admire me even more!", she said with a big grin on her face.
" Alright, settle down.", Ms. Jean stood next to Puff. " Crystal, I'm assigning you to act as a guide and tour our transfer student around the academy after our last period."
Crystal Mendez is the class 1-B's president.
" I'll be glad to.", she happily replied.
" Please pick any vacant seat that you like.", Ms. Jean told Puff.
" Gothca!", she replied and walked towards the table near the front and Ms. Jean started the roll call.
-----
* DIINGGGGG* * DOONGGGGG*
Rang the bell announcing the end of the last period for the day. Immediately, all of class 1-B's students gathered around Puff and began asking a lot of questions.
" Are all dwarves as cute as you?"
" I don't really-"
" Where do you live?"
" Well, I originally came from-"
" Which side does your dwarf blood came from? The mother side or father side?"
" Actually-"
" I heard that dwarves are really strong. Is that true?"
" Umm-"
" That's enough, everyone.", Crystal said as she noticed that Puff was getting raddled and annoyed by the non-stop questions from their classmates. " I have to tour Puff around school now. Please save your questions for later."
So the crowd began to clear and the two of them walked out the room together.
" Thanks, human child.", Puff told Crystal. " A second more of that crowd and I may have lost it."
" Yeah, I noticed.", Crystal replied. " You can call me Crystal. It'd be too bothersome if you call me "human child" all the time."
" Okay, Crystal!", she said with a very hyped-up tone.
" Hmmm let's see. Which building should we start?", Crystal took out a map of the academy. " We should start here-"
Crystal pointed at the school's club building.
" We should start at here, the Club Building, since it's located furthest back of the academy. And we'll slowly move until we reach the main campus."
" Sounds like a plan.", Puff proudly placed her hands on her waist and stood straight with her chest out. " Lead the way, human-, I mean, Crystal!"
Crystal chuckled while walking in front of her.
" Pres? Are you okay?", asked one of the boxing club members.
" Huh?", Alex realized that she was staring into space and her club members were beginning to get worried.
" Y-yes, Yes! I'm alright. Don't mind me and continue with your training."
" This is the main hall of the building.", Crystal said.
" Oooh! What's in this door?", Puff asked.
" That's the Boxing club's clubroom." She replied.
Their voices were heard inside the club room. Some peeked from the windows and were surprised.
" Who's that?"
" Maybe a new student."
" She's got a loud voice for such a tiny body,"
" Enough of that!", shouted the boxing club's vice president. " Continue your drills if you don't want me to sock each one of you!"
" Yes, sir!!", they snappily responded.
" Can we take a look inside?.", Puff placed her foot on the door.
" No! Wait! That's not-", Crystal tried to stop her, but buff easily opened the door with just one kick.
*BANGGGG!*
The boxing club's members were startled as the door was forcibly opened from the outside. A few seconds later, two freshmen girls entered the door.
" Fufufu! So this is the boxing clubs clubroom!", Puff proudly shouted. " It's larger than I thought!"
" Hey! We are not accepting new members for now! Beat it!", the vice-president shouted.
" We're really sorry! We're very sorry!", Crystal bowed and apologized a few times.
" Didn't you lock the door?", asked one member.
" Yeah. I'm sure that I locked the front door earlier."
" Maybe the lock was broken. I mean, how could a little girl destroy a lock from the academy's first class security tight doors."
" What's all the ruckus about?", Alex asked the vice-president.
" Some freshmen somehow broke the door and entered our clubroom.", he replied. " Don't worry, I'll handle them."
Puff heard the members mumbling from a distance.
" Hey, you!", Puff pointed one of them. " Yeah, you! Have a bout with me!"
" What are you talking about!", Crystal shouted at her with her legs trembling. " Please don't mind her, we'll be going now."
" Pffft! Hahaha!", laughed the club members. " Better go now little girl if you don't want to get hurt."
Angry marks began to pop out Puff's forehead. Her annoyed face was as clear as day.
" If you could last for 30 seconds, then I'll admit defeat. Or are you too scared to be beaten by a little girl?", she arrogantly said.
" Do you know who you're talking to, brat!?", one member stood near her and towering her with their height difference.
He grabbed her tiny head with one hand and lifted her up. Crystal looked at them shaking in fear.
" Please stop it-"
" Shut it! Brats like you needs to be taught a lesson to respect people above them!", he yelled at them.
" Hey, Diego! Don't start any trouble inside the clubroom.", the vice-president scolded him.
" Don't worry Vice-pres! I'll be gentle in educating these kids.", he said with a huge grin on his face.
" Ohh-??", was the last thing he heard as he felt a hard object hitting his left jaw.
He instantly fell flat on the ground and everyone was speechless.
" Thanks for being gentle.", Puff said while stepping on his head.
Crystal's legs gave out in shock. She sat on the floor and stared at Puff's devilish smile.
" Hey, Diego! Stop joking, dude"
" I think he's unconscious."
" You've got to be kidding me."
Everyone who saw what happened was shocked. That a quick punch from that tiny fist of hers brought down one of the biggest members of the club. Even Alex stood in disbelief and was speechless.
Puff then ran towards the ring and stood proudly in the middle.
" Anyone who wants to go next, I'll take you on!"
-----------
" Finally! Classes are over-----", Wade lazily said and stretched his upper body over his table.
" Well, I have to go and train with my club.", Melissa said while putting her things back in her bag.
" Ughhh, all you ever do is train. Why don't we hang out for today?", Wade said with a puppy eyed look on his face.
" Unlike you, I have a goal to reach before the end of the semester. I can't afford to miss out on these trainings.", she replied.
" Ohh? And what goal is that? To become the most overworked freshman ever?", he jokingly said.
" No, stupid. I want to be a King class student before the end of the semester.", she passionately said.
" If I could do that, I'll be the first student to ever reach King class before the second semester of the school year."
" Pfffttt--- that's so corny.", Wade put his face flat on his table.
" WHAT DID YOU SAY—"
" Everyone! Something big is happening!", shouted one student as he entered the classroom sweating and panting heavily.
" What's wrong?", one student in front asked him.
" A freshman is beating all the boxing club's members one-by-one all by herself!!"
" Really!?"
" Wait, isn't the boxing club the Champions of the Monster Festival??"
" That person must be a monster."
" Boxing club? Isn't that Alex's club?", Wade asked Melissa.
" Yeah. That's strange.", she replied. " I know every strong freshman in this academy. But I don't think anyone of them could dare challenge any clubs, even me."
" And get this!", the student continued. " The freshman is only a little girl!"
Wade's suddenly got curious and sat straight to listen.
" A little girl?"
" Yeah! They said she just transferred today. She has clear black eyes, twin buns and they said she was half-dwarf!"
" Is that the new transfer student Raven and Alex was talking about last—", Melissa stopped talking after she saw the shocked look on Wade's face.
" Wade--, is something wro—", before Melissa could ask him, Wade grabbed her wrist and sprinted outside the room dragging Melissa with him.
" What's with them?"
" Do you think there's something going on between those two?"
" They've been pretty close lately."
And rumors began to spread about them.
--------
" Uryaaaaa!!", Puff shouted as she sent another member of the boxing club out of the ring with an uppercut in the gut.
" Woahhhh!!"
" I'm not dreaming, am I?"
" How can she easily lift a buffed-up hundred and fifty pound guy with those tiny arms!?"
The crowd shouted while cheering for Puff as she beat every last one of the boxing club members. The club room was packed. Every corner was filled with people cheering and yelling.
" Fuhahaha! Who's next!?", she proudly asked while standing in the middle of the ring.
*Bang!*
Sounded the stomp of a very large man as he jumped inside the ring.
" Those idiots have not been taking their trainings seriously to be beaten by a little kid!", he shouted.
" Look! It's the boxing club's vice-president, Marco Bridges!"
" They said he's never been beaten by anyone when it comes to brute strength except by the boxing club's president!"
" Are you sure about this, Marco?", Alex worriedly asked his vice president.
" Hah! Don't worry about me, pres! I'll grind this pipsqueak to dust and ease your mind!", he replied.
" Hmp! C'mon then!", Puff taunted the big guy.
Marco suddenly leaped towards Puff. His long and strong legs could easily close their gap in an instant.
" Take this, brat!!", he threw a fast straight punch with his large right hand.
Crystal and the audience behind Puff were so scared, they instinctively moved out of the way. But Puff didn't flinch. She clenched her left had and met Marco's hand with another straight punch.
As their knuckles collided, Marco felt a hard object passing through his hand. It's as if he punched a metal rod, and it directly passed through his knuckles.
In an instant, Marco saw the bones of his hand was gouging out from the back of his hand. His middle finger to his pinky finger were squashed. He immediately pulled his hand away before his whole right arm was damaged.
Marco took a step back and was shaking from the right side of his body.
" Are you alright, Marco!?", Alex frantically asked him as she saw his bones and blood coming out from his hand.
" I'm alright, pres!", looked at her and gave a reassuring smile. " This is nothing. I've been through wor-"
" Don't take your eye away from your opponent when you fight.", Puff whispered in his ear and suddenly hit him with a sharp neck chop that bended his trapezius in the shape of her hand.
The blow made him lose consciousness and fall flat on the floor of the ring.
" That's common knowledge, right?", Puff said while looking down on him.
" Seriously!!"
" The vice-president of the Boxing club is out cold!"
" She didn't even break a sweat!"
Everyone was surprised and shouted their lungs out. Crystal's jaw dropped at what she witnessed. And so was everyone who was close enough to see what happened.
" You're the only one left, Pres-", Puff pointed at Alex with a grin on her face.
------
" What's gotten into you!?", Melissa shouted at Wade while being dragged towards the clubroom.
" Where is this strength coming from? I can't even break away from his grip. He's carelessly dragging me and I can't even doing anything about it."
Wade stopped as he saw the door of the boxing club's club room was blocked with people.
" Woah. This really is a big deal.", Melissa was surprised with the number of students that was there.
" Are you kidding!?", replied one of the students. " That little girl already defeated every member of the boxing club except their president!"
" Seriously?"
Wade and Melissa tip-toed to see what was happening inside. After confirming his suspicion, Wade immediately pushed through the people in front of him.
" Excuse me, coming through, excuse me-", he said as he slowly moved through the mob.
" Hey!", Melissa shouted at him. " Where are you going!?"
------
Alex carefully carried Marco's body out of the ring and asked her other club members who had gained consciousness to carry Marco's body and go to the infirmary together.
Alex then climbed back to the ring with a serious look on her face.
" There she is! The strongest raw strength in the academy!"
" Time for the main show!"
Everyone was very excited and was cheering loudly.
" Hmp! I can tell that you are a lot stronger than those sorry lot.", Puff proudly said.
" Well, thank you for the compliment.", Alex replied and slowly raised her hands into a boxing stance.
" That's a sharp pose you got there."
The room suddenly got quiet as both fighters stood at both sides of the ring, carefully staring at each other.
" Hyaaaa!!!"
" Oryaaaa!!"
Both fighters' hand met at the middle as they threw a straight punch at each other. The shockwave from the impact was felt at the front row of the audience that gave them goosebumps and even push their hairs up.
Wade was still at the middle of the crowd,slowly pushing his way through.
" DAMN IT, PUFF!!"
