Part of him really, really, wanted to blow off his first day of school.
He'd already graduated from college once, before colleges around America went to hell, so high school held nothing new for him. Also, MAGIC.
He now had the ability to make whole dimensions and he wanted to PLAY. Unfortunately, the adult inside of him won over the child and forced him to go to school.
He did make excuses though, like if he didn't show the police might be called or something.
After collecting his school bag he retrieved a map that had been prepared for him.
It showed the route he would need to take to get from his apartment building to the main gates of Kuoh Academy.
He chalked any familiarity with the oddly familiar name up to his new memories.
"Okane Ryuji-san?"
Hearing his name called from his left as he entered the main gate for Kuoh Academy, Ryuji turned toward the voice and smiled, "Shitori Souna-san?"
Why did that name seem kind of familiar and why did she look familiar?
Souna was a bespectacled young woman with a slim figure, black hair styled in a short bob cut, and violet eyes behind oval-shaped glasses.
She wore the Kuoh Academy girls' uniform which consisted of a white long-sleeved, button-down shirt with vertical linings, a black ribbon on the collar, a black shoulder cape and matching button-down corset, and a magenta skirt with a white underskirt beneath it.
Also, how come the boys didn't get a cool cape?! That was just plain unfair.
Souna gave Ryuji a polite professional-looking smile that didn't reach her eyes.
She seemed a bit young to have such a professional-looking smile. She also spoke in a rather formal tone, "Correct. Welcome to Kuoh Academy."
She lifted her hand to gesture to the girl with snow-white hair standing beside her, "This is Hanakai Momo-san, she will give you a quick tour and lead you to your classroom. If you have any questions, please direct them to her. Have a nice day."
With her part said, Souna turned away from Ryuji and paid more attention to students entering the campus.
She scanned the students like a raptor would scan for prey from the skies. Ryuji didn't think anyone so young should be so serious.
He quickly had his attention drawn back to Momo though as the girl stepped forward and gave a polite bow, which he returned as she spoke, "It's a pleasure to meet you Okane-san. As Shitori-san said, I am Hanakai Momo."
Momo was a young, beautiful girl with white hair and blue-green eyes wearing the same uniform as Souna, the Kuoh girls' uniform.
Though there were some very obvious differences in their feminine features. In short, Momo was stacked while Souna was rather flat.
It was a noticeable difference but not one that Ryuji focused on. Thankfully, his new body was on the far side of the worst things that puberty hormones would do to his body and mind.
That's not to say he was completely in the clear, he was still a teenage male after all, but it was good enough that his more mature mind could handle it.
The tour was short and sweet, Momo showing him the main areas he needed to know such as his classroom's location, the student council offices, the cafeteria, eating areas, and so on.
The last place they visited was the place they needed to be, the very large gym which was being used as an auditorium for the school opening ceremony that day.
Momo gave him another polite bow, "If you have any questions or difficulties, please don't hesitate to seek out the student council, Okane-san."
Ryuji returned the polite bow, it was a weird thing to him but something he knew was as polite in Japan as a good firm handshake was in America, "Thank you for the tour, Hanakai-san. I look forward to attending such a prestigious academy."
With that out of the way, she gave him a nice smile and left to join the other members of the student council for the opening ceremony while he entered the gym and found his assigned seat.
He had memories of attending similar ceremonies and while the novelty of it entertained him, his memories painted a picture of a very stiff and boring affair.
His memories hadn't been wrong. The opening ceremony had been a very boring and dry affair.
On the bright side, with the ceremony over so was the school day. The first day of full classes would actually begin tomorrow.
That meant he had the rest of the day to play with his new abilities! So exciting! With a bright smile on his face and a spring in his step, Ryuji left the Kuoh campus and made his way home.
Not too far away from the gate, Ryuji is leaving through, a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous body, white skin, blue eyes, and a buxom figure whose most distinctive feature was her long, beautiful crimson hair that reached down to her thighs with a single hair strand sticking out from the top watched.
She stood in an old school building on the second floor watching him from the window.
After he left her sight, she turned to face the other people in the room, though her gaze fell on Souna, better known to the red-headed young woman as Sitri Sona, "So, that's the boy my brother created a brand new scholarship program for. What do you think, Sona?"
Sona pushed the bridge of her glasses up causing them to flash with light. A trick she would never admit to spending hundreds of hours mastering, "Despite the fact that he could be mistaken for your tanned twin brother, he is pure human as far as I can tell. He does have a decent amount of magic, but I don't believe he is aware of it.
I also don't believe he is aware of the supernatural, or at the very least he can't sense it.
I barely hid my nature from him and there was zero recognition or wariness. Momo reported that he behaved as any new student in an unfamiliar area would.
Though she did note that he only ever looked her over once. She never caught him staring at her breasts, unlike some males in this school."
