They entered the apartment where Kazuhiko lived, and he found some spare clothes to lend to Yamikuro.
"They're a bit oversized but it should do for now until you're given the school uniform and I'll try to find clothes your size from stores," Kazuhiko smiled.
"Thank you, sir," Yamikuro felt grateful.
"No need to thank me, after you've changed and showered let's go to the school building," Kazuhiko pointed towards the bathroom.
After that they walked towards the massive building in the middle of the Hideout.
Upon entering the building, they were greeted with a massive staircase that was split to two parts with one going to the right and other to the left.
The ground floor, where Kazuhiko and Yamikuro were on, had a massive corridor that led to multiple classes and on the right seemed to be a cafeteria.
"Your everyday life can continue here, if you go to school, you can still do it here. However if you have a job, you need to try to find one outside of the hideout. If you're unable to do, you can find a job here but it's very limited." Kazuhiko said as they were walking up the stairs.
"I don't understand how this works. Aren't there tons of people in this hideout?" Yamikuro asked.
"Yes but this building is massive. We have years one to twelve and then after that you can get a job. We also have multiple villages surrounding this building in which you can live. We have enough room for everyone, don't worry," Kazuhiko responded while scrathing his head.
After making their way up through multiple floors, they arrived in front of the head of this society's door.
Kazuhiko knocked on the door and a lady from the other side told them they could come in.
Before opening the door, Kazuhiko looked at Yamikuro and said: "Don't worry. This is going to be fine."
Yamikuro nervously answered: "Yeah..."
When they entered the room, there was a desk in front of a massive window in which you could see the entire courtyard along with some villages in the distance.
The lady who was sitting behind the desk said: "Welcome, you must be Yamikuro Asaki."
"That's me," Yamikuro responded.
She then introduced herself: "My name is Kendra Monroe, I'm the head of this society. It's great to finally meet you,"
She then added, "I have already notified the teachers about you and you can start as a student here tomorrow. If it's too sudden I can give you a week to prepare."
"No. Tomorrow should be fine." Yamikuro took a breath of relief, "School could take my mind off everything."
"Very well. Take your schedule from my table." She responded.
"Kazuhiko can show you the way to your dorm. Your team is there already but I'll introduce you to them properly so take a day off today to explore or you can rest, I'm sure all of this is overwhelming so I wouldn't blame you for wanting to lay in bed after all this. Do you have any questions," Kendra said with a smile.
"Why does the head of this place work in a school building?" Yamikuro asked.
"I get that question a lot, I'm actually a principal as well as the head of this place." Kendra smiled.
"Isn't it a lot of work though?" Yamikuro got confused.
"It is but I was one of the people who founded this place and they wanted me to become the principal," Kendra sighed.
"Anyway, we've talked enough, Kazuhiko can show you where to find your school uniform and then get some rest if you need," Kendra said as she took out a pile of papers from the drawer.
"Goodbye," Yamikuro said.
While they were walking down the stairs, Kazuhiko said: "See? It wasn't that bad, she's a nice person."
Yamikuro started laughing quietly, "Yeah, she actually is nice. I'm happy to be here."
"Do you want to get some food? I know a nice place in this village," Kazuhiko added.
Yamikuro looked at him with a smile, "Sure. I only managed to eat a little bit of lunch before a god attacked us."
"A GOD?!" Kazuhiko got shocked.
Everyone in the hallway started looking at him and he realized he said it too loudly.
He coughed and said: "Sorry. Did you say a god?"
Yamikuro nodded, "There was a god that came looking for my powers and he killed my great uncle..."
"I'm so sorry to hear that. But what's so special about your powers?" Kazuhiko said while he opened the entrance door to get to the courtyard.
"I don't even know that myself. The only thing I know about it is that it's called the darkness." Yamikuro responded trying not to think too much about Bernardo's death.
"The darkness? I think I've heard about it. We should have a couple of books about it in the library," Kazuhiko replied.
"So my powers are this popular? I wonder why that god wanted it," Yamikuro said while looking around.
"I'm not sure myself but you should check out some of the books in the library when you get the chance. Apparently they found it lying on the ground here." Kazuhiko said.
As they were walking towards the food place Kazuhiko had recommended, Yamikuro kept looking around and there were people walking around everywhere. This place didn't feel different from the world with humans that didn't have powers, except for the kids that were using their powers.
"Hey, what kind of powers do these people have?" Yamikuro asked.
"Well... I'm glad you asked. People have five different elemental powers which are fire, water, air, lighting and earth." Kazuhiko said.
"What's this thing about ascensions, though?" Yamikuro was confused.
"So you already know about ascensions, huh. Well, ascensions are a step above the normal powers people here have. Not everyone can awaken their ascension but those who can have an unique one that no one else has," Kazuhiko explained.
"The darkness spoke to me and told me to yell out something that begun with ascension. It created a place around me and this god however I felt like I was going to die after a certain point," Yamikuro was trying to recall the fight.
"So this darkness thing also has an ascension, it's quite normal to feel like that because using an ascension requires tons of energy to be used and if you're not careful you can die from overusing it," Kazuhiko replied.
"I see..." Yamikuro said to himself.
They arrived at the small dining place after talking with each other about powers for a while.
"This is it, my favorite place to get food." Kazuhiko said.
When they entered the building a woman behind the counter noticed them and yelled: "Kazuhiko!"
Yamikuro and him sat at one side of the counter while the woman stood on the other side of the counter.
"So, how has your day been?" The woman asked
"As usual. I have a lot of work, could I get some coffee?" Kazuhiko said while looking at her.
The woman kept smiling in front of Kazuhiko while they were chatting.
"Is she your girlfriend?" Yamikuro asked.
Both of their faces went red and they looked away from each other.
"O-of course not. We're just friends." Kazuhiko replied.
Yamikuro looked back and forth between them and said, "Oh my bad, I'm sorry."
In his head he knew they both liked each other but he pretended not to know.
Kazuhiko then tried to change the subject, "So uh... This is Yamikuro Asaki."
She raised her hand over the counter to shake his hand, "Yamikuro, huh? My name is Mai Elsher, pleased to meet you!"
"Do you want anything to eat?" She then asked.
"Sure, I don't have much appetite though," Yamikuro said while looking down.
"Don't worry, I'll give you something I always go for during these situations." Mai replied.
When she went to the kitchen, Yamikuro looked around the dining place. It didn't seem to have many people in it. Yamikuro and Kazuhiko were the only ones sitting on the counter seats. Everyone else were sitting at table seats.
The tables at the furthest back had a couch, which quite a lot of people were using and they seemed to be drinking beer. The first table was occupied by a couple, who seemed to be on a date and the same was with the fourth table at this dining place but instead of young people, an elderly couple were using it.
When she returned a few minutes later, she was holding a small plate of toast and a cup of coffee, "Let me know if you want more. It's on me," Mai said.
"Thank you but I think this is enough for me." Yamikuro responded.
She smiled and handed a cup of coffee to Kazuhiko.
Yamikuro was eating it one small bite at a time while Kazuhiko was sipping on coffee and talking with Mai.
After Yamikuro ate the toast and Kazuhiko finished his coffee, they got up and Kazuhiko waved at Mai.
"See you tomorrow," He said.
"Yeah, see you!" She responded as they were leaving
.It was starting to get dark outside and they were walking towards the dorm where Yamikuro was supposed to be sleeping.
"After everything that has happened, this was fun. Thank you." Yamikuro said.
Kazuhiko smiled and felt his heart melt, "I'm glad you liked it. Let me know if you ever need someone to show you around."
They walked past multiple streets and when they finally arrived at the dorm where Yamikuro was sleeping, Kazuhiko gave Yamikuro a nod, "See you tomorrow, Yamikuro."
"Yeah, see you!" Yamikuro responded.
He entered the dorm and saw a few people sitting in the lounge but he was too nervous and tired to talk to them so instead he went to his room and fell asleep almost instantly.
