章 2: The Start of a legend
Today was April 3rd 2095, it was the opening day of the new school year at First magic high school. A young man could be seen walking with a black brief case in his left hand, while his right hand was holding a mobile terminal. He was walking while at the same time he was also reading, but coincidentally he somehow he deftly avoided hitting anybody while making his way forward.
He was a tall, handsome young man with deep red eyes and long black hair in Viking dragon Braid reaching the center of his shoulder blades. Wherever he went he caused the heads of many young maidens to turn and admire him, and many boys to grit their teeth in jealousy. You see subject A-001 was created using the genes of two top tier magicians and it was a known fact that many magicians were naturally good looking due to genetic manipulation.
After walking for a few minutes, he put away his terminal and looked around for the closest person near him, his face while handsome had a lazy and laid-back look, one that screams don't get me involved in things unless absolutely necessary to it. All in all he was looked like the type who don't like troublesome people or situations that are out of their control.
After looking around he saw a young, beautiful woman of average height with short black hair and brown-gold eyes standing by a near by pathway observing the crowd ahead of her. Though her features and aura caused her to be called a quite handsome, young woman, he approached her before saying.
"Excuse me, miss"
Turing around she quickly drew and unfolded a short baton that she kept in her inner jacket and swung at James aiming for his temple at break neck speed, before she could process what she had just done, she was staring at the sky and feeling the hard floor on her back.
To say she was stunned was an understatement, she frantically tried recalling what just happened but she was drawing nothing but blanks, that was until a indifferent voice broke her out of her trance. "Is that how people react these days when asked a question? If that's the norm then i feel like we as a society will crumble, i mean what are parents teaching their kids these days anyway."
She stood up just in time to catch the back of the figure walking away from her, she wanted to call out to him but she couldn't the wind had been knocked out of her. Just breathing was already extremely difficult for her at the moment, luckily for her there were nobody in the immediate surroundings, or else the image and reputation she had painstakingly created for herself these three years would have all but shattered.
She stared at his dispersing back like a hungry tigress studying and memorizing it's prey, she actually wanted to find after recovering not to start a fight or ask for revenge. But to actually apologize, his words stung like hell because she realized she attacked him for no apparent reason. It was not his fault that she was cranky and on edge at this very moment, all he did was ask a question and she swung at him with the use of deadly force.
Bracing herself she willed her body to walk to a nearby bench were she sat down in order to recover from her fall. All in the meantime trying to understand how, when, or what he use to floor her. His speed was insane and potentially deadly if used in a more lethal attack, she could not help but wonder how he would fair against Sawaki who was the school's magic martial arts' ace.
She continued losing herself in her thoughts, she was trying to decipher his abilities based on what she seen from him earlier, from the way he walked to his posture she could tell he had formal training. There were no gaps in defense, each steps he took were all the same length, she was completely unaware of the fuming ball of malice standing in front her.
"Ma...ri... Mar...Mari...Mari are you listening to me?" a voice suddenly broke her out inner dilemma, looking up she saw a small yet cute face of her friend pouting with her hands on her hips staring at her with a bewildered expression in her eyes.
"Ah Mayumi, sorry i lost myself in my thoughts for a second." sighing she lowered her head and stood up, with a little difficulty the pain had gone away but she still felt a slight discomfort on the right side of her ribs. She knew that she will need to have the school nurse check it out just in case it, the last time she ignored an injury it came back and bit her in the rear when her opponent used it to her advantage.
The other girl in question looked at her friend with a skeptical gaze but said nothing, she realized that something must of happened to her friend, as they started walking she could not help it and asked a question. "What happened? you seem a bit sluggish and earlier you wince as you tried to stand up?"
Sighing again Mari decided to answered her truthfully, because it was foolish to try and keep anything from this little goblin. "I messed up, i got caught off guard and swung my baton at a freshman." looking through the corner of her eye she saw the pale and frantic look that was plastered across her best friends face before continuing. "But somehow before i could connect i was on my back on the ground looking at the blue sky and he just walked away."
One could clearly hear a self-mocking tone in her voice, it was one of self-loathing and disappointment . Yes she was disappointing at her actions, she was cranky because her boyfriend was incredibly busy both with the National Defense Academy, and with the military as he was an the officer in Defense Forces. Due to her state of mind when she was accidentally caught off guard by an innocent new student she reflexively swung at his head.
Thinking about what could of happened if he had not reacted how he did, there could have been dire consequences. He could have been severely injured with possibility of critical and permanent injuries or worst yet dead. When she finally reached that conclusion she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine, she finally realized just how close she came of ruining young promising man's life due to her own lack of control and petty emotions.
"That's good, did you perhaps get his name? maybe you could apologize later" Seeing her friend in such a condition Mayumi decided to break the ice and giver a helping hand, once again breaking off from her trance she shook her head before saying "No i didn't get the chance too, but i did get a good look of him and could pick him out of the new student file"
Nodding her head Mayumi replied in a cheerful tone before quickly walking away "Good, now you can go and stalk your new boy toy. Anyway let's go we need to get this opening ceremony started." While walking Mari's mouth was wide open at her friends antics, since when did she become a stalker, and most importantly when did she get a boy toy?"
In the mean time James walked in the auditorium hall that was pointed out by one of the new students. When he walked in he couldn't help but to raised an eyebrow at what he saw, on the first rows all the course 1 students sat and the back rows were filled with the course 2 students. Shaking his head he made his way to the back rows, since he was a kid James always liked to sit in the last rows if he could help it and he'll be damn if it changes now.
After finding an empty seat in the last row he sat down and closed his eyes, hoping to catch a quick nap without any disturbance. But sadly it was not his day, within 30 to 40 seconds he felt somebody tapping him on the shoulder, opening his eyes he saw a young man with chestnut hair, green eyes, and an athletic body standing in front of him.
Seeing him opening his eyes, the boy asked with an odd expression on his face "You know all the course 1 'Blooms' are sitting in from right?" Looking at him carefully James waited for him to continue, but after a few seconds of silence James answered "And? last i check no seats were assigned and no sections were assigned either. And please don't use that term with me, i'm not one of those egotistic douchebags over there, who like to stroke each others c*cks to feel superior."
Shocked by his statement the boy was dumbfounded, never has he seen an interesting guy like this. He couldn't help but bust out laughing at the severity of his statement, if other heard him they'd spit blood at what he just called them. After calming down he stretched out his hand and said "My name is Saijou Leonhard, my father is half and my mother is a quarter so while i look Japanese my name is western, but you can call me Leo my specialty is Convergent Systematic Reinforcement pleasure to meet you."
Smiling he also extended his hand and shook it before saying to him "My name is Takeo Ichinose, i am fully Japanese you can also call me Takeo, don't really have a specialty and i am more of a jack of all trade master of none type but i have taken a liking to Dispersion Systematic-type Magic lately and likewise it is a please to me you too Leo"
