The train that travelled towards the IS Academy was a rather long one. The clear blue skies and the lush trees that existed around the island seemed to compliment the buildings that surrounded it. The distant sea seemed to give the island a sort of isolated feel.

The academy itself seemed to be similar characteristically to that of the country that contained it. It was open to almost everyone, but it seemed to be isolated from the rest of the world. Maybe that was really the point of putting the academy there in the first place, so that the students may learn and train in peace without intervention from the government.

Finally, the train stopped, as a young man with short black hair stepped out of the train. People looked at him with either disgust or amazement, as he wore a male version of the academy's school uniform. It had been a year since they it, and to find another person who could wear one was something in itself.

The guy looked at the academy with both excitement and embarrassment. He knows that he isn't the first man to be attending in such an academy, but the fact that he would be the only one in his year level was still something. Still, he was required to go, so he took a deep breath and walked towards it.

It was quite for him to find his way around the school grounds. After all, there were digital directions that allowed him to tell which way he supposed to go on the orange pathways. When he finally reached the academy, he then needed to go towards the school principal.

Since it was incredibly early in the morning, the number of people inside the school building itself was close to zero. Upon reaching the metal door, he knocked on it a few times and heard a signal to enter, which he did.

The room itself seemed to be the best-designed room that he had seen so far, as it was mostly covered in gold or brown furniture with red carpeting. Inside, he saw an old female who wore normal glasses. He was given a gesture to sit down on the nearby seat in front of her, to which he did.

He gave the woman the envelope papers that he had been carefully carried around, to which the principal took time to carefully read and reread the documents. Once she was satisfied, she pressed on a nearby button, calling for a teacher whose name he heard as Yamada Maya.

The wait would've been unbearable if it weren't for a somewhat short woman with green hair and glasses entering the room. She was told about his situation by the principal and as she turned to him she smiled. She then asked him to walk with her, to which he did.

He paid little to no attention to what the teacher in front of her had been saying, instead looking outside at the clear blue sky. He thought about how unlucky he was in this situation and the circumstances that surround it. He wasn't so deep in thought as he thought he was, as he felt the teacher stop walking, which made him stop as well.

The teacher entered the classroom, which was filled with students who were talking to each other loudly, all of which were female. As she entered, the noise that the students were making quickly died down. When she finally reached the teacher's desk, she looked at her students.

"Class, it seems as though we have a transfer student today." The teacher said in a cheery tone which made the whole class rather excited and asking for details.

As soon as the class settled down again, she gave him the signal to enter. He walked with confidence, stopping beside the table before turning to the class. He then bowed and gave a sincere smile.

"Pleased to meet you, my name is Suzuki Shinobu. I hope that we can all have a great time here. That's all."


Writer's Corner:

So I've finally gotten out of procrastinating and started to go back into writing again. As you may have noticed, I've deleted all my other fanfics. This is because I wanted to start a bit fresh. So to start it off: Infinite Stratos fanfic. As you may have notice, my detailing for the opening chapter is still rather lazy, so I'm still gonna work on that as I go along.

I'll be allowing the readers to participate a bit more on my story writing. As you may notice from the anime the conditions of the show follows a harem genre, so I'll be making this story like a visual novel in a more simplified method. So for those of you who post reviews, please add in "Vote: character" without quotation marks so that I know who you are voting for.

Also, for other IS fanfic writers whose storylines are set one year after the events of the series and is based on the anime as well and feel like having some parts of your story alter the events of this one, feel free to send your plot summary to me as long as it isn't too out of context of this one.
