Chapter One: The Science teacher next door


Hanji was a Tall Willowy woman with curious brown eyes and a signature ponytail that always had loose strands hanging down either side of her face. She wore black square rimmed glasses that were constantly covered in some kind of filth, and a light yellow blouse that matched her sunny disposition. Levi was quite the opposite, he was a short man in stature but strong none the less, his face was always set in a blank unreadable expression. His eyes were deep grey, His hair was black and cut into a tidy undercut, he wore a cravat and a white dress shirt, that was always clean and wrinkle free.

Very few things interested Levi... One thing that did interest him- much to his dismay, was his co-worker Hanji Zoe. She was the crazy science teacher at Legion Academy, her classroom was beside his classroom where he taught English. She was always making huge messes and causing explosions, which constantly interrupted his lectures. Levi thought back to that strange day that started everything...

Levi was mid-sentence in the middle of one of his long discussions, when he heard a loud BOOM followed by students in the room next door screaming and yelling. Levi sighed and placed his book and tea on the desk, "Ill be back soon, read chapter 4 QUIETLY" he said sounding irritated. The students all nodded their heads with quizzical expressions- What in the world is Professor Hanji doing to her students in there!? And what is Professor Levi going to do?!- Levi made his way to the door, opened it and disappeared into the hall leaving the students alone with their thoughts.

Levi walked to the science class door and knocked loudly "Professor Hanji!" Hanji opened the door, covered in what looked like soda. Despite being covered in a huge mess she wore a big smile with bright eyes "Oh Professor Levi! What can i d-" "What in the world are you doing?" Levi asked completely interrupting the pleasantries. "Ohh!" "Just a new experiment where you mix soda and mentos which causes a chemi-" Hanji started. "You interrupted my class" Levi said looking not very amused "Oh" "I'm Sorr-" Hanji Began "AGAIN" Levi interrupted in an absolute rage, grey eyes cold as ice. Hanji's bright smile disappeared. "Um..Professor Levi, maybe we should take this into the hall.." she said motioning to the terrified science students who were all staring at them intently. Levi's rage was instantly replaced with embarrassment... "Oh, uh.. Yes."

Hanji led him into the hall and shut the door behind her. Hanji leaned against the wall, sighed and removed her soda stained glasses. She then proceeded to 'clean' them with her blouse 'I'm sorry Levi, if my experiments interrupted your class i was only trying to tea-" the soda was not coming off her glasses instead she was making the mess worse. Levi watched her in disgust unable to focus on her words, he couldn't stand to watch this. Levi snatched the disgusting glasses from her hand. Hanji stopped talking and watched with a shocked look as he pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and began to clean the glasses properly- This man is so unpredictable she thought. When he was finished he looked up to see her staring at him like she was observing him. His face began to grow hot with embarrassment- Why was she staring at him like that? Levi quickly handed her the glasses and sharply turned and began to walk back to his class walking stiff as a board, before reaching the door he paused and sighed "We will continue this discussion later" he said with a blank expressionless face. What a strange man Hanji thought, with a giggle she turned gingerly towards her classroom, eyes bright with a new found curiosity.
