Chapter One: Class

'Yaawn. I already know this science stuff. It's just like alchemy, from Fullmetal Alchemist. Except… there isn't any equivalent Exchange.'

I rested my hand on my palm. Quietly, I pulled out my "Halo: Fall of reach." I crossed my leg and let myself become absorbed in the fight against the Covenant. When the author said what Chief looked like, I knew my imagination would run wild. Being an anime otaku, I would obsess over whatever it was, and fall madly in love with a character. I recently became obsessed with Halo. Spartan 117, abducted from his home planet at the age of six. Brown hair and blue eyes. (Or are they brown?) His muscles augmented to make them like corded steel, his bones surgically… changed to make them unbreakable, To shake a hand, he'd have to be gentle, but that isn't a problem when you're a war-hardened soldier who's done nothing but hard training and the occasional suicide mission every day.

"Miss (name withheld for protection)! Will you please stop reading in my class?" My teacher slapped a palm on my desk. It didn't matter though, because as soon as I put down my book, the bell rang.
