Sounds of wheels colliding against the rails can be heard, the springs extend and contract from the rough terrain that it is set on with the morning sun emerging from the horizon while the sea of stars slowly subsides but still shines brightly in the dawn.

The curtain is pushed open revealing the scenery of a city in the distance at the break of dawn, the majestic city reveals itself shining in the dark land with its beautiful lights.

The figure heaved a satisfied smile as he turned around to his bed where he slept yesterday, the figure having returned to the city from his journey of leveling himself.

Heading toward his bed he look with satisfaction at the figure lying there on the bed asleep from the exhaustion from yesterday.

The figure on the bed can be seen sleeping soundly and comfortably on the bed, the sheet covering up to the armpit level, revealing flawless skin of the figure including the toned muscle honed from years of training and special routine.

Then his eyes went to the twin hills underneath the sheet moving up and down gently, the satisfaction from last night surfaced in his mind awakening him from the sleep, ready for the day.

"Clara~"

The figure whispered to her ear quietly causing the girl in his bed to open her eyes slowly seeing the ceiling of the compartment they are in, then toward the source of the voice.

"Shin?"

"Yes?" he asked with a smile.

"What are you doing in my room?"

"You forgot about last night already? I'm hurt", acting like he was hurt, Shin grasped his heart and look at her.

"Last night?", Clara thought for a while having just woke up and feeling tired despite the sleep she had.

The scene from last night came to her mind suddenly causing her face to turn bright red.

"Oooh, so you do remember~"

Clara wordlessly tries to argue but nothing comes out.

Shin then jumped on the bed pushing Clara back down with a smirk and ready.

"Now let's continue where we left off, shall we~?"

"W-Wait, we're near the city, right? Aren't we going to be late for the opening?", Clara tries to reason her way out of the situation that would soon happen knowing what will happen if she goes along with Shin.

"Don't worry we still have about two hours"

"For us to take a shower, change clothes, have breakfast, and pack our things"

"But wouldn't that take us less than half an hour?", Shin's question then shut down her argument, knowing each other for a long time, he already knew how capable she was, and right now she is only buying time for herself for what will come no matter what she says.

"U-Uhh..I won't be able to walk...", Clara said softly so that he wouldn't have been able to hear if he wasn't kissing her neck already.

Stopping the kissing, Shin lifts his head up and says in the same quiet whisper to the bashful Clara.

"Then I'll make it quick"

Then he proceeds to do that.

The passengers would later file a complaint to the train company for its rough handling of their carriages due to experiencing consistent tremors that shook nonstop before reaching the station.

'Arriving at Atlas station, Southward'

Arriving at the station, Shin and Clara walked out to find themselves in the largest city in the country bustling with activities of the residents and new arrivals as they headed about in the early morning.

"Ready?" 

"Of course"

"Tonight as well?" he teased causing Clara to blush again remembering what happened just a few minutes ago in the shower.

"Don't you dare"

"Hehehe"

Shin then turned his attention to the crowd of people walking by, some heading toward their workplace, home, station, or on an outing with some girls sneaking a glance at him from time to time.

'Hi' he waved at them causing them to blush and giggle.

"Don't worry, I won't go after them"

(Not yet, hehehe)

The two then head off towards the academy's dormitory where Alpha class, their designated class are staying, before heading to the academy.

_______

At the academy's main gate, Shin and Clara stood there waiting amongst the crowd of students of various years waiting to enter, eagerly quietly, or loudly.

"Finally, I'm here!"

"Let's make this year even better"

"I can't believe I'm here"

"Are you excited?"

"Of course, why wouldn't I be, this is Atlas Academy that we're enrolled in" answered Clara donning her school uniform which has made her look sexier than her usual outfit.

"Right...And what do you think about the people here?"

"They all need to train more to even catch up with you or me" Clara's evaluation is on the point as Shin observed the people around them, noting at how weak they are despite being in the same year or even higher.

Shin's eyes scanned the crowd of students around him looking at their faces, then their body and their profile.

But the sound of explosion interrupted him from taking in the view of a particular student's 'assets'.

(Better make this quick)
