Really didn't help that Irina was a very pretty girl who was probably the first super pretty girl who was practically hanging off of him. Try to stay calm Vin, try to stay calm, give a response!
"Eheheh, uh… yeah, I am."
Nailed it.
"This is gonna be great! You're going to have so much fun here with us!" Irina beamed.
Oh boy, just what the hell did Vin manage to get himself into?
"Hey, guys, c'mon and introduce yourselves to Vinny! Trust me, he's like, the sweetest guy in my class." Irina called, as she finally released Vin, instead opting to stand slightly to his side.
But wait, did he really get called 'sweet' by the Irina Shidou? Oh boy, what the students at school would do to him if they ever found out that little tidbit.
But before Vin could indulge anymore in hypotheticals about being 'put in his place' by an angry student population in the name of their sweet Irina's honor, an unfamiliar boy stepped out of the crowd in front of him.
"Very well, I shall be the one to measure the caliber of this new budding warrior," Declared a boy with messy black hair, and… was that a cape?
Vin blinked, yep definitely a cloak. The boy was wearing a long black and satin purple cape over a pair of shorts and a Iron Maiden t-shirt.
Oh, well at least he had good taste.
The boy tossed his cape theatrically with his hand, "Greetings budding warrior of the sacred crystals. I am the Jet-Black Conduit, the Blade of Divine Judgement, you may call me… Ezekiel."
Vin shifted his eyes towards Irina, whispering, "Hey, so is he like…"
"Oh!" Irina perked up, before leaning into his ear; the feeling of her breath on his ear causing goosebumps to break out across his back, "Zeke's kind of… special. He thinks up the funniest things, like he's a real life superhero or something. Once you get used to it, it's actually pretty cute."
"Ah. So he's a Chuuni," Vin stated matter of factly.
"Chuuni? Oh! Chuunibyou! You know Japanese?" Irina smirked, as she poked Vin's cheek with her index finger.
Ah shit, that just came out. Abort! Abort!
"Not a word…" Vin deadpanned, a faint dusting of pink crossing his creeks.
"Alright, I guess I'm up then!"
Vin nearly fell to the floor as suddenly, a weight leapt up onto his back. After regaining his balance, accompanied with a feminine giggling just behind his head, a head of brown and dark orange hair filled his vision. With a flick of the head, the hair flipped over to reveal the face of a youthful girl with a playful smirk.
"Hey, I'm Vanessa. How ya doin'?"
"Vanessa, what have I said about jumping on people?" Griselda's disapproving voice called out.
"Do it if it works?" The girl added hopefully.
Griselda fixed her with a flat look, "No. Now get off your new teammate, and introduce yourself."
With reluctance, Vanessa climbed off Vin's back, and walked around to his front, letting Vin see her thin, wily frame clad in a tank top and short shorts.
"Great to meet you Vin!" Vanessa smiled, her mouth full of pearly white teeth so sharp they wouldn't look out of place in the mouth of a shark.
"Hey," The shorter kid, maybe around five-foot-four stepped forward as Vanessa slicked back into the group, "Name's Ethan. You play Guilty Gear?"
Oh, Vin could tell he was going to like this kid.
"Yeah."
"Hell yeah, who do you play? I'm tired of playing against Jafar's busted ass Justice."
"You're only angry because I play a character that works better against yours," Jafar called from behind Vin.
"OH SCREW YOU! YOUR JUSTICE IS CHEAP AS HELL! SPAMMING ISN'T A VALID TACTIC!"
"Say that to my win-loss record."
"WHY YOU!"
"Hey, you wanted me to play with you," Jafar shrugged.
"Ugh… See what I gotta deal with? So, who do you main?"
"Order Sol," Vin responded.
"My man!" Ethan cried out, grabbing Vin's arm in a spartan handshake that soon became a bro hug. As they broke the hug, a sigh resonated from the back of the common room. Looking towards the source, Vin found Xenovia looking extraordinarily unamused. She quickly turned around to leave, until Griselda's voice made her freeze rigid like a statue.
"Xenovia dear, please get to know your new teammate."
"G-Griselda, my time is better spent training-"
"I'm closing the training hall tonight. You will stay in the dorms, and get to know Vin like everyone else," Griselda declared, "You'll have plenty of time to train tomorrow, understood?"
Xenovia froze, before closing her eyes and bowing her head, "...Understood."
"Good," Griselda softly smiled, "Now Vin, they've dropped off your boxes in your room, so how about you head over there and get unpacking while we begin making supper."
"That sounds good, thank you Griselda."
"You're welcome, Vin. Now go on."
Walking down a hallway connected to the common room, Vin soon found that the fourth door on the right side had a plaque with the name 'Vincenzo' on it. With a twist of the knob, the door swung open to reveal a spacious white room with dark wood flooring covered in a sea of cardboard boxes.
Looking around, what Vin could see was that a bed and wastebasket had already been prepared for him, and… was that his desk and wardrobe? Damn, that one worker that came with them didn't mess around. Vin went to go and open one of the boxes, determined to at least get his clothes put away properly before dinner was ready. Then it struck him.
"Fuck, how am I going to get these open?"
Vin looked at the tape-sealed boxes, then to the distinct lack of anything sharp in the room. He sighed, resigned to his fate of having to ruin his fingernails, before a brilliant idea struck him.
Crystals were sharp, right?
Looking down at his hands Vin came to another important realization. He had no clue how to summon his Sacred Gear. Vin tried to concentrate, closing his eyes, and clenching his body all over to try and drum up a way to summon the rings back onto his fingers.
After a minute of attempts to no avail, Vin gave up. The only thing that was going to do was make him fart. Stuffing his hands into his pockets, he made a great discovery, as his fingers brushed up against metal.
