Valkyrie are strange beings that are hard for Mason to understand. During one of Miss Kuro's lessons he found out that none of them have last names. They go by something called a Company name— when a Valkyrie is born she is assigned to a group and she grows up along with those of that Company. So even from the beginning they are brought up as soldiers, Mason recalls something Admiral Anderson said before. "*Commanders are being killed." When they graduate where exactly is he going to be sent to?
Mason walks in the corridors to the library, this section of the school has always been quiet and peaceful most Commanders avoid this area which in turn a lot of Valkyrie do as well. He has thought about making this his base for alone time for himself, it could work since Valkyrie ignore him either way. Plus, he loves peace and quiet so it is a win-win situation for him.
Just as he was turning a corner to head in to the library he bumps into a person. He sighs and realizes this life is starting to become full of cliches that hope end soon. Fortunately the person that he bumped into did not fall.
"Oh my. A Commander. I do apologize for crashing into you." said the woman.
"No it was my fault for not hearing anyone around the corner— I really need to be more careful." said Mason.
Mason got a good look at her she was stunning, Long purple wavy hair, some of it was covering her one of her eyes, she had a beauty mark under the eye you could see, school uniform, mini skirt, and heels, perfect figure could not describe how good she looked, she had this natural seductive face you wanted to kiss, he quickly looked away after staring at her for a few seconds. He felt very attracted to her— Mason is no simp yet he wanted to ask her out— he took a deep breath and kept his focus— he needs to go the library and look up more about the history of this galaxy.
She smiled at him. "You are very kind. Usually Commanders would get upset if a Valkyrie bumped into them by accident, yet you are not throwing a tantrum, interesting."
"That is unfortunate to hear, well I got to go, I have stuff to do." Mason said.
"I understand Commander." she said smiling.
As Mason walked away he could not help but get the feeling she was staring at him the whole time even after walking away. He made sure not to turn around and look back— he just kept walking until he got inside the library. This was a strange experience for him— he hopes he doesn't have to go through something this awkward again.
After asking the librarian what books he wanted— he found an empty table placed his books and started reading. However to his shock that woman walked in the library, searched around the place and made eye contact with Mason. He quickly put his face on his book hoping she wasn't looking for him, attention is the last thing he wants from a woman. He could hear her heels as she got closer she sat down across from the table he was sitting at and just stared at him. It seems she was waiting for him to look up so he just went along and started talking to her.
"Can I help you?" Mason asked.
"Yes what is your name?" The woman said smiling at him.
"Mason."
"Commander Mason. I like that." she replied. She began playing with her hair for a bit and then said "My name is Camellia Raven."
"Well Camellia you have my name need anything else."
"I like you." Camellia said.
"I beg your pardon?" Mason said as he was confused by what he just heard.
"I saw you trying to stand up for that bunny girl."
"I didn't."
"I know, the fox girl stopped you, I watched the whole thing. You are very kind to her as well, you are not like the other Commanders, I came to this school in hopes of finding the perfect man to become my Commander." Camellia said.
"Well keep looking cause I am not perfect." Mason said.
"To me you are."
"I have no Mana."
"That's fine. I am more than capable of protecting you. I also noticed you been coming here these 2 days that you started, you want to know about the world? I can tell more things these books could ever tell you." Camellia was saying so confidently. She was quite aware of what Mason has been doing this whole time.
"Why me? Why not someone like Mash he wants to be a hero." Mason said.
"I don't care about heroes or saving the world stuff, you are more of a chill guy— plus something about you is different, your Commander aura is enticing to me. Just think it through I am not asking for an answer right now. Anyway Commander Mason I will leave you with your books I shall see you around." Camellia gets up from the table— gives Mason a wink and walks away.
After reading books for a couple of hours he goes back to Classroom Z and notices a commotion, it is between the fat guy of the class and the tall older looking guy that he met at the park. He quietly entered the room and sat at his desk to watch them argue over something.
"Huh what you say fat ass!"
"Don't call me fat! Don't you know who I am? I am Tony Tubimora! Son of Clark Tubimora and future owner of the All-you-can-eat buffet company!"
"Did you just call yourself a tubby moron?"
"No I did not! How dare you speak to me like that!"
The goth girl who follows him was in the classroom as well shaking her head in disappointment, she notices Mason and walks up to his desk to greet him.
"Hello again Commander." said the goth girl.
"Oh hey um I didn't catch your name last time." Mason said.
"I didn't say my name last time but its Nirvana nice to see you again."
"My name is a Mason and likewise. So Nirvana can you tell what is going on here?"
Nirvana explained the situation "Well the fat guy was flirting with this pink cat girl and offering her food— she didn't seem very interested though because she just wanted to take a nap on top of a tree— my Commander here thought he was harassing her and went up to him to give him a piece of his mind. They argued for a bit, the fat guy got hungry and my Commander followed him so here we are."
"I see." Mason said.
After they were done arguing Tony sat down at his desk and started eating a cheeseburger, The tall guy leaves the classroom.
"Well I better get going. See you later Commander Mason." Nirvana said.
It has only been two days and it has been already quite crazy, Mason starting thinking about what Camellia said and then he thought about Mihara and how kind she was. If he was gonna ask a Valkyrie to join his team he wanted it to be Mihara first. He started thinking about what if she said no if he asked her, does he even deserve someone as good as her by his side? Well he is gonna wait until tomorrow to ask her— for now, Mason is gonna head home.
