Kook-kook-
Dream open his eyes, but soon close is again. He didn't want to get up
Kook-kook
The alarm clock doesn't let him sleep again. He became annoyed and freeze the f*cking bird to eternity.
Koo-
Eventually, the world of imagination start playing in his head, and-"
"He overslept and make his lady waiting for 5 hours"
Liliya look upset. Did i really make her wait that long?
"…you wait for me?"
"No, I don't. This is not even 30 minutes yet"
"What!? Then-"
"You didn't even look at the time, do you want me to waiting for 5 hours so bad?"
"I froze the bird… sorry"
I unfroze the bird clock, it's 7.30 AM. We supposed to meet at 7 o'clock, but because I overslept and Liliya didn't want to wait, she comes directly to my room and wake me up
I should thank her because she's cute? No, I want sleep, not her. Why would we even need to wake up in the morning? The semester wasn't starting today right?
"It is start today! Go change or we gonna be late"
"Oh sh*t"
Liliya sighed and walk out the room. Dream then stopped acting and calmly changing his clothes. He intentionally wake up late for a reason
After that, they come at the auditorium at the last minutes. Rea Silvermoon walked in the podium to give a long speeches
'The number of teachers and students increased. Haah they really used the opportunity of principal death and erased all my advantages' (Dream)
The raised difficulty wear his spirit. Then it comes to an end, now is the time for a real welcoming event. Dream think how to do it normally, then he decided to do it without saying anything.
Tap-
"Eh, uhh, umm, D-Dream wh- your hand?"
Dream hold Liliya's hand. It surprised her and make her embarrassed, but soon it will change with Rea Silvermoon announcement
"Do your best. Good luck"
All the students body start shining and disappear
Dream opened his eyes, what greeted him is landscape of a bamboo forest. There are no changes in his novel, he sighed in relief. In the novel, he wrote the last row of students got teleported here, including Hiiro
The test concept is illusion. They only need to used their brain so it's safe here. In the novel, Rea is the one who assess this field, but even if she's not here, the test will not change
"Dream, can you let go my hand?"
"Ah, sorry"
Liliya already used to his strange but on point act, so she immediately calmed down after something shocking happened. Although She didn't like Dream hiding something from them, there's probably a reason for that. And mages always have a secret is a norm, they mustn't probe into a mage secret
"So what now?"
"Search for our classroom"
They walked in this bamboo forest with vigilance. But, nothing comes up. There's no clue or something, the only thing they have is this misty bamboo forest and some cracking sounds here and there
Well, Dream already know the answer but don't want to open his mouth. He wants Liliya to solve this. Unbeknownst to him, Liliya know he knows how to get out but wants her to do it herself. Even then, she still do her best to respect his choice
'This sounds is annoying… wait, there are no wind. Why do it makes a sound?'
Liliya thinks deeply but still didn't get anything. She click's her tongue, but then she felt a resonance
'Is the sounds incomplete?' She stopped walking
'Oh looks like she get something'
"Dream, clap for me"
"What?"
"Make a sound, no, a rime"
"Oh okay"
Dream started clapping his hand, then Liliya start to dance following his rhythm. A stepping sound of someone dancing, a clapping hand that make a rhythm, and the cracking sounds of bamboo. All of it makes a resonance and start forming a music.
It's not a grand music, there are no instruments, but the music fills heart with tranquility. In this serene atmosphere, Liliya express her thoughts with her dance. Then the music starts to form an emotion, the emotions make this music alive
Dream was put in awe by what he was seeing now. The music resonating with Liliya's dance, then all the sounds gathered closer to her and the music started to forming a shapes
The shapes follows Liliya and dance with her. All of a sudden, the bamboo forest was filled with abstract shapes that originated from a music, they dancing with Liliya and makes what before is an incomprehensible sound become a grand performance
"Hey Dream, you join too~"
"Okay"
The music shapes make a room for Dream and he make a performance that intensify the music. He start beatboxing, the music become excited and they dances by following his rhymes make their dance become orderly. Liliya smiled and didn't want to lose
Toktoktoktok
Her footwork only can make a music, Liliya performing an Irish dance. The music shapes surround the two of them, their colours become more apparent and create a magical sight
They exchange a look, then intensify their performance to make the last part. The music around them spinning enthusiastically, every second of their play, make the music spins faster and faster. The shapes now looks like a sparkling rainbow mist
Ting-
""Hah, hah, hah""
Their performance ended fantastically, the music is happy, then shining and create a rainbow magic circle
"How's my dance?" Liliya smile widely
"It's awesome, Liliya"
Dream return with his smile too. A beautiful music, a beautiful performance, and a beautiful magic. All of them together will have one outcome. All worries faded, all thoughts flow away, and all emotions and heart turn to one. Happiness
Shiing-
*
This time they got teleported in front of a Chinese house around the bamboo forest. Inside, there's a woman with a veil cover her face and two katana in her back
"Congratulations students, I heard your music, they are wonderful. You even created a form for the music. Be happy, they will bless you in your way"
"Thank you, umm"
"Ah, I'm sorry, fufu. I forgot to introduce myself huh~ My name is Akamagi Ayame, you can call me Ayame, I will be your classroom teacher"
'Ooh it's her!'
Akamagi Ayame, in the novel, she was described like this 'Sakura petals flow, blood of demons create a river, the veil torn away, and a beauty that can bewitched the gods appear'
'There's a treasure that can start a war under that thin veil! I know what she looks like, but I really want to check if it got right'
"Hoho, did you perhaps curious about what's under my veil? Hehe~ I will not show them though" (Ayame)
"…why are you guys always reading my mind?" (Dream)
"Dream, Your face always said it all, just bear it" (Liliya)
Ayame told them the reason behind this test. There are many types of magic, even more so in Theodore academy. All kinds of unique traits are here, so one of the principal in the past created this system. They tested the students with random field and the teacher evaluate them in their respective field
In Dream case, They appear in illusion test that evaluated by Ayame. But that didn't mean they will be taught with their respective evaluator
"But didn't Mrs Ayame say you will be our classroom teacher?"
"Fufu, i liked you two. So as an evaluator, I can bring you two under my wings. Did you two okay with it?" (Ayame)
Dream are excited. He worried about who will be their teacher because the best one that is Rea Silvermoon now is a principal. With the increase in teacher, if they get a teacher that's not a character he wrote, it will mean a death sentence. Fortunately, Ayame is here. Knowing her, she will be their best choice
"It's great! She is a good teacher, what do you think Liliya?"
"Umm, yea it's good but…"
"Oh, is there something bothering you? Tell me about it, maybe I can fulfill it if you have any requests"
Liliya showed a hesitation. She squirmed, but then decided to be a little selfish for this time
"It's my twin brother, I don't want to enter a separate class from him. His capabilities is the same as me. Can you bring him too, Mrs Ayame?"
Ayame feel complicated. To snatch a student with the same capability as Liliya is probably going to be hard and she isn't used to snatch a student from her colleagues. But she really like Liliya. Eventually, she gives up her pride. If she wants to become a great teacher, she can't give up someone as talented as Liliya.
Ayame encourage herself to do her best
"Hmm, okay. I will work on it. Then, shall you enter the classroom? You can study yourself first, the actual class will start 2 hours later, be patient and get along with your friends, okay?"
"Thank you, okay Mrs Ayame"
Liliya showed a bright smile relieve Ayame hesitancy. She became spirited, for the first time she will take from someone. 'It's for someone so it's okay! Yes, fight, Ayame!'
