Chapter 7: Yu-Yuuuuuurrri-chan...
Yuuri" Okay! To all the new students, congratulations on getting in!" She said enthusiastically.
Bang!
Standing on the platform in front of the students, a young teacher greeted everyone with a shot of confetti and a big smile.
Yuuri" I'm Yuuri Oreki, the person in charge of Year One Class One. It's my first time teaching homeroom, so I'd be very happy if you call me Yuuri-chan, and treat me as a friend."
Their school days were starting quite lightheartedly. Stella, sitting in a neighbouring desk as if linked to Ikki by fate, grumbled at Oreki's manic enthusiasm.
Stella" She seems exhausting."
Ikki" Haha, that's true, but she's a good teacher."
Stella" You know her?"
Ikki" Well, a little bit."
Ikki smiled and turned his attention back to the teacher's speech.
Yuuri" Since today's the first day, there aren't any lessons! But I do have something to share about the representative selection battles for the Seven Stars Sword-Art Festival. Everyone, can you take out your student datapads?"
As instructed, everyone including Eikichi who sat right behind Ikki took out a palm-sized liquid crystal terminal from there breast pockets.
The Hagun Academy student pad was an all-in-one tool that could be used as ID, wallet, cell-phone, internet terminal, and much more.
Yuuri" Okay, as Miss Director said in the opening ceremony, Hagun Academy was using an attribute score system to select the Festival representative up until last year, right? But from this year forward, selection by attribute scores has been abolished!
The system was changed to a tournament with the whole school participating, and six people will be chosen based on results from actual battles including an already picked by the school sub-in.
Wow, violence!
The selection battle executive committee will send messages to your datapads, so you should come to the designated place when the dates and times are confirmed, okay? It's a loss by default if you don't come, so be careful."
Stella" Sensei can I ask a question."
Yuuri"Non non. If you don't call me Yuuri-chan, then I won't reply."
Stella" Yu-Yuuri-chan."
Eikichi' Haha, damn is this teacher cute.'
Yuuri" Yay! What is it, Stella-chan?"
Stella" How many matches will these selection battles involve?"
Yuuri" I'm not sure, but each student should go through roughly ten matches or more. After the matches start, you'll definitely have one match every three days, so be ready."
Even if it might be very tough, I still think this is a wonderful system that gives each of you an equal chance to win the Sword-Art Festival and become a Seven Stars Sword King. That's why I want you all to participate ambitiously if you can. I'm sure everyone will treasure the experience."
Ikki nodded gratefully at the gaze aimed towards him. He knew Oreki from when she was his entrance examiner, and he was now attending Hagun because she evaluated Ikki properly.
As his mind wandered toward that event from a year ago, he recalled something.
Ikki' Wait, doesn't Oreki-sensei.'
Yuuri" So everyone, please do your best from now on! LET'S ALL ABUUAAABUFUUU!!!"
Ikki' Have an extremely weak body?'
But by the time he remembered it, Oreki was already vomiting blood onto the floor.
Entire classroom" Yu-Yuuri-chaaaaan!?"
Classmates screamed at the bright red explosion from the teacher's mouth, and Eikichi jumped from his seat to support Oreki. While Ikki also came to help.
Ikki" Ah, she's okay, she's okay. Everyone, please calm down. You don't have to worry so much. Oreki-sensei is just very unhealthy."
Classmate" No, that's worrying too! How can there be so much blood."
Coughing violently, Oreki showed her distressed students a fragile smile.
Yuuri" Oh, I'm quite fine, as Kurogane-Kun said. Your teacher, has been spewing a litre of blood each day since she was a child."
Another student" What's fine about that?"
Yurri" Well, I've been living with this body for over twenty years. It'll be fine again in a week. Haha…amazing, isn't it?"
Eikichi' What's amazing is that you're still alive.'
Eikichi" I'll take her to the nurse for now, so why don't you guys clean up the pool of blood over here?"
Students" Gotcha. Leave that to us!"
After seeing a peach-blonde girl nod, Eikichi leaned Oreki on his shoulder and headed towards the infirmary. He watched as even with his assistance she was struggling.
Deciding the alternative, without her permission he scooped her up in a bridal carry And walked a pace faster to the infirmary.
He expected for her to shout in protest, but looking down he could see she had already fainted.
(An" MIIIIIIYUUUUUUUUUBIIIII. Haha sorry but yuuri reminded me of miyubi so much.)
Once he got to the nurse's office they immediately handle yuuri like it was an everyday thing. Now that I think about its pretty bad. She's probably In a lot of pain even when resting. Tho he only knew her for a day Eikichi dident like the people close to him being in any sort of pain. Plus Yuuri was so nice and funny unlike most teachers.
So as no one was looking he kissed yuuri on the forehead and sent her a bit of his magical energy. So at least she would feel alot better. He also strengthens her blood so it would regenerate quicker.
Class one year one
Eikichi" Sensei says we can just go home today."
The first homeroom of the year ended with Eikichi delivering that message.
Ikki' Guess I'll go look for Shizuku? I shouldn't remain here much longer anyway.'
He had been feeling confused gazes since the class started, from people wondering how to deal with him. Oreki had collapsed before the students could share introductions, but no doubt they already knew he was repeating this grade level.
Minding his classmates' feelings, Ikki turned to leave, but.
Classmate" Senpai!"
Ikki" Whoa!"
One of his female classmates grabbed onto him. It caught Stella's attention immediately.
Stella" Wha!? W-Wait a minute! What's going on here, Ikki!"
Ikki" Hoho, what I think this is princess, is the famous forgotten childhood friend and love rival. From which they promised to marry when they make it to the school of their dreams."
Stella" Is-is this true Ikki, after all that happened between you and me."
Everyone was now looking at Ikki with disgust while Eikichi was trying to hold back his laughter.' Too easy.'
Ikki" WRONG, totally wrong, I've never met this girl. H-Hey, what are you doing so suddenly."
Kagami" Ah, when I realized I finally had a chance to speak to Senpai properly, I got too excited and, please excuse me."
The cute peach-blonde girl apologizing to him was the same girl who had agreed to clean up. Licking her lips cutely, she separated from Ikki.
Kagami" I'm Kagami Kusakabe. I'm a huuuuge fan of yours."
Ikki" A Fan...me."
