Arc 1: Bermesiah University
Chapter 1: First Day
It was a sunny day here at Bermesiah. The sakura trees were at full bloom since it was the month of September…
RING! RING!
The sound of an alarm clock can be heard, waking a certain someone up. Grumbling, it pressed a button to make the sound stop whilst sitting up. After turning off the alarm, it stood up, long red hair falling perfectly behind.
She walked to the door, rubbing her eyes of sleep. As she was about to open the door, right on cue, her brothers burst right through it, hitting her in the process. "Oops… sorry sis. We thought you were still asleep so, yeah… sorry." A raven-haired lad said, helping his sister stand up.
"It's okay, Sieghart." She replied, rubbing her temple with one of her hands.
"You sure, Elesis?" The raven-haired lad named Sieghart asked worriedly. "Yeah."
"Anyways, you better hurry up. Or else, we'll be late for school." A shorter redhead stated, emerging from the doorway and surprising both of his older siblings. "Oh, Elsword. I didn't see you there." Elesis sheepishly said.
"Yeah, yeah. Hurry up, will you?" And with that, he went back downstairs, muttering something about 'always being forgotten' and whatnot. Elesis and Sieghart just laughed at their younger brother's antics.
"Well, you better do what he says if you don't want him to literally explode on you." Sieghart started, "We all know about how he hates being late and all. Especially since it is the first day of school. And also, don't forget about his temper issues." He continued, now walking out of the door and down the stairs.
"Yeah, yeah." She sighed, walking to the door of her bathroom.

At the dining room…
-X-X-X-X-X-
As the inhabitants of the house were eating (Sieghart and Elsword), the doorbell rang…
DING! DONG!
"I'll get it!" Elsword said, excusing himself from the table before going to open the door.
"Hmm… I wonder who it is." Sieghart wondered, though his smirk gave away his confusion. It was as if he already knew who it was… you're so predictable…

Elsword POV
-X-X-X-X-X-
Who would go visit our house at this hour? I kept asking myself as I went to the door. When I reached my destination, I felt a weird sensation. It was familiar though, the aura of impatience and arrogance. There was also an aura of patience and tranquility (the exact opposite of the first one).
"Am I that stupid to not use my common sense? Why can't I just open the door to find out?" I inwardly slapped myself for not using common sense and because of my earlier stupidity.
As I opened the door, I was surprised to see who the visitors were…

3rd person POV
-X-X-X-X-X-
"Good morning, Elsword." Two boys chorused. One had matching blue hair and eyes while the other one had black hair like Sieghart and red eyes like Elesis. "Ditto Ronan. You too, Ezekiel."
"Can we come in?" The blue one named Ronan, asked. Elsword nodded then moved to let the two come in. After they got in, Ezekiel asked, "Where's your mother and father?"
"They're still asleep."
"Oh. How about Sieghart?"
"He's in the dining area, eating breakfast. Anyways, enough with the questions." The older kids nodded and let the little redhead led them to the dining area in which they spotted a smirking Sieghart.
"Why am I not surprised?" The aforementioned male stated. "What do you mean by that, Sieg?" Ronan asked.
"Yeah. What do you mean?" Ezekiel repeated the question after a brief silence.
"I thought you two were smart? Well anyway, incase you didn't notice, you two come here every first day of school." He paused for a moment. Smirking, he continued, "That, and there's someone Ronny here wants to see…"
Suddenly, out of the blue, they heard a groan coming from the bottom of the staircase. Feeling curious as to what made the sound, they went to the said staircase where they found Elesis who was sitting on the floor, rubbing her head.
"Ow… That's the second one this morning…" They heard her mutter.
Ronan's face flushed in embarrassment as he figured out what the older boy meant. Seeing Ronan's pink cheeks, Sieghart's smirk widened.
"Hey, sister. Are you okay?" Little Elsword asked, worry written all over his face. "Yeah." Muttered Elesis.
"You're such a klutz, cousin." Ezekiel said, snickering a while later. Hearing the word 'cousin' made Elesis look around. Moments later. her eyes landed on her laughing cousin, "Kiel? What are you doing here?"
"Don't call me Kiel!"
"Blah, blah."
"Anyway, why don't you ask blue over there?" He pointed to Ronan who was looking at the floor as if it was the most fascinating thing in the world.
"R-Ronan…?" Elesis stuttered. There was a faint pink color on her cheeks. Hearing his name being called, Ronan looked up. When he saw Elesis looking at him, he immediately lowered his head to look at the floor (again) before replying,
"Hmm…?"
"Ano… uh… Nothing…" The three boys (Sieg, Ezekiel, and Elsword) just watched the scene. They were all thinking of the same thing… Awkward…
After a few minutes of awkward silence, Ezekiel decided that it was time to break the ice, "Uh, Lessie? We're going to be late if you don't hurry up…" As he said that, Elsword's eyes widened whilst looking at the clock on the wall – panic-stricken.
"Sister! Hurry UP!" He practically shouted at his sister's ears. "Okay! Okay!" She said, standing up then dashing here and there to gather her stuff. Once all of her much needed materials were in her bag, she grabbed a piece of toasted bread and dragged Elsword with her to the front door with Sieghart and the other two following behind.
Before they left, Elesis and her siblings bid their parents (who were descending from the stairs) goodbye since they weren't allowed to go home until the end of the school year.

After about fifteen minutes of walking, they reached the school's gate. As they entered, guards and a long path leading to the Main Building area greeted them. They continued walking until Ezekiel stopped when he saw a familiar mop of silver hair.
"Good morning, whitey-locks!" He shouted, smirking. The others turned to where Ezekiel was looking, just in time to see a girl turn around to face them. The girl had silver hair that was tied into two low pigtails and sapphire blue eyes.
"Why, hello there… Teddy-kun… Good morning…" She flashed a menacing smile. Hearing this, Ezekiel stopped smirking. He narrowed his eyes. "What did you call me, bunny-chan?"
"You heard me, weeds-for-brains!"
All of a sudden, the temperature around them changed. "Come over here and say that again!" The air surrounding Ezekiel became colder and colder with each second that passed.
"Uh-oh…" Ronan murmured.
"Here goes round 1…" Elsword sighed.
"Not again…" Sieghart sighed, shaking his head in displeasure.
"You said it." A voice said behind them. Sieghart looked around to find the source of the voice until he saw something, or rather, someone. "Mari?"
"No duh." She said boredly. Mari had waist-length turquoise hair with contrasting red and blue eyes. "Anyway, what's with those faces? We all know they both can't handle a day without their petty arguments. So, what do-" her sentence was cut-off as they heard someone yell,
"Hey! Watch where you aim those!" An eleven girl exclaimed as a fireball the size of her head shot pass her, missing her only by a hair's length. The elf had blond hair that reached mid-back. It was tied into a ponytail. She also had emerald green eyes.
"Lire, are you okay?" Another elf asked. This elf had messy orange hair. He also had the same eye color as Lire. "Yes, Ryan. I'm fine. Thanks for worrying, though~"
She gave Ryan a kiss on the cheek, earning a blush from him. Seeing this, Elsword faked gagging sounds. "No public display of affection, you two! Get a room!"
Lire just giggled at this. They all laughed until they heard someone cough. All of them turned their attention to the newcomers namely: Amy, Jin, Lass, and Arme.
"Hey, guys~!" Amy greeted. "Long time no see."
She had pink waist-length hair that was tied in twin pigtails while her eyes were rose pink. Jin, who was beside her, had crimson red hair and saffron colored eyes.
"Uh… aren't you all forgetting something?" Arme and Lass chorused. Arme had matching purple hair and eyes while Lass had the same features as the mysterious girl. A minute passed by before they realized what the two said.
They all turned around and gaped at the scene in front of them. There was a big block of ice hovering above the girl (courtesy of Ezekiel). They heard the girl growl,
"You're stupid, you know that?"
"How so?" Ezekiel asked, seemingly unfazed by the insult.
"Remember? I can easily melt your ice using my flames." The girl raised one of her hands up and a burst of flame melted the enchanted ice. "See? You're going down!"
"Touché."
"Eh?"
"What happens when fire melts ice?"
"It turns to… oh fudge…" The water from the melted ice soaked her. This made Ezekiel laugh. "Ahahaha! See? This is why you're only ranked in 2nd~!"
"…" Yuna was silent. Her gaze fell on the ground beneath her and her fists were clenched. It was evident that she was feeling the exact opposite of what Ezekiel was feeling now…
"This isn't good…" Arme muttered. She turned to Lass, "Lass, would you do us all a favor and calm your sister down?"
Lass shook his head in apology. "Sorry, but, once Yuna's this angry… no one can stop her. Not even me."
"How about you three?" She gestured to the three Sieghart siblings, "Can one of you calm Zeke down?"
The three of them shook their heads sadly. Silence fell upon them once again. Their silence didn't last, though, for Mari spoke…
"You're all idiots." She sighed, pulling out a weird invention of hers from who-knows-where. "Hey, what's that Mari?" Amy asked.
"This is my latest invention – the moron gun. Well actually, I have a much better edition. Meet the moron cannon." She pulled out another gun, only this time; it was the shape of a cylinder. "Both are specially designed. When it shoots morons, it gives out more power that can knock a fully grown cow out." The young inventor answered, pointing the gun at Ezekiel and Yuna who were tackling each other on the ground.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The two were separated from each other because of the strong gust the shots from the gun left. Both of them were also surprised by the power of the shots. "There. I didn't even break a sweat."
They all sweat-dropped. "Yuna, Ezekiel. Are you two okay?" Ronan asked. "Yeah." Both of them mumbled.
"If all of you are finished, please go to your designated classrooms immediately. Classes will start soon." A new voice startled all of them. Turning around, they saw one of the three headmasters - Gaikoz. "As for you, Ezekiel, please escort miss Silvercross to the dorm rooms."
The mentioned teens gave the headmaster a questioning look. Seeing this, the headmaster sighed. "How could you possibly go to class with those soaked up clothes? Anyway, time is ticking. You'll all be late for class if you don't make haste."
They all nodded then separated, going to their own buildings. Elesis, Ronan, Lass, Arme, Jin, and Amy went to the 1st year building; Lire and Ryan went to the 3rd year building, while Mari and Sieghart went to the 4th year building.
Elsword was transported to the middle school division where he would meet up with his class officer. Yuna and Ezekiel continued walking until they reached the dormitories for the high school students.

"Well… this is our stop." A girl with chin-length raven hair and green eyes whispered. "So it is~!" Another girl with waist-length lavender hair and pale blue eyes enthusiastically said.
The girl with raven hair took a deep breath before opening the door. Once they both got inside, they were greeted by three figures. One of the figures stood up and greeted them,
"Hello. You two must be the new applicants." The two nodded. "I am Gaikoz, on of your unit's headmasters." Gaikoz smiled.
"Anyway, I am pleased to inform you that both of you have passed the test." The girls squealed in delight. This made the figure's smile widen, "We have more good news to tell you-" The figure was cut-off.
"Allow me." The second figure stood up and motioned Gaikoz to take a seat. "We are pleased to inform you that you're abilities are one of that in a million. Seeing both of your potentials, the three of us agreed to make you a part of Grand Chase – the school's most gifted and talented students. You two sure are lucky"
"Yes. You two are lucky." The third figure said. "Why?" The lavender haired girl asked, curiously.
"We only have twenty spots for that rank. You two are lucky to claim the last two spots. That, and normally, new students have the rank of Apprentice." The third figure explained.
The two girls were speechless. After a few minutes of silence, Gaikoz spoke. "Do you know what your sections are?"
"No."
"Okay… well anyway, do not worry. I have assigned two class officers to fetch you two. They will lead you to you're specific homeroom class. That being said, Kaze'Aze, can you give them their uniforms?"
The one named Kaze'Aze nodded while she snapped her fingers. Out of nowhere, their uniforms appeared. "Get dressed before they get here." She said, handing them the clothes.
Both girls looked at the headmasters confusedly. "But we're already wearing our uniforms." It was true; they were wearing the school's uniform but the ones Kaze'Aze was holding were that of a different color. "Regular students wear red colored uniforms. Chasers, on the other hand, wear blue colored uniforms. It's to let them recognize who and what you are."
"Oh…"
A few minutes later, they were already finished dressing up. Their uniform consisted of a long-sleeved white polo underneath a dark blue vest and tie for the inside, and a dark blue button-up blazer with the school's insignia for the outside. They wore a gray skirt instead of the usual brown. They also wore knee-length light gray socks and brown loafers. (A/N: sorry about the uniform's description. I had a bit of a problem on how to describe it…)
KNOCK! KNOCK!
"That must be the officer of the classes…" Kaze'Aze said. "Come in…"
The door opened to reveal Arme and Lass. "Miss Kaze'Aze, you called for us?"
"Yes. I want you to lead these two to their respective classes. I suppose I already told you on what homeroom they are, right?"
"Yes, headmaster." Both officers looked at the two girls, gasping at what they saw. "Can I ask something, Miss Kaze?"
"Why sure, Arme."
"Why… are they wearing our uniform? You know… color blue?"
"These two passed the test with flying colors. They reached the same level as you – Grand Chase members – have achieved when you took the test, too." Arme and Lass were speechless. They couldn't believe what they heard. The highest rank… earned by new students? It's outrageous!
"I know it's hard to believe at first, but, when you see them in battle; I'm sure you'll be amazed just like us."
Kaze'Aze turned to look at the third figure, "Victor, what did you want to give them?"
"Oh yeah. Before you go…" Victor handed each of the two girls a pouch and two pieces of paper. "The first paper has your schedule. The second is a map of the whole school. The pouch contains luna coins."
"Luna… coins?"
"Yes, luna coins. Unlike there outside, here in Bermesiah University, we use these coins to purchase items from shops in central town or the canteen. One luna coin is equal to one-hundred Bermesian gold coins."
"One more thing about luna coins is that the amount of coins you get varies on your academic performance and your recent rank." Gaikoz added.
"That's all the basic information. The others… well… you can ask your classmates about it."
"Thanks headmasters!" The two girls chorused. The headmasters nodded in response.
"You may leave." Kaze'Aze said, dismissing them.
The four of them left the room and headed for their classrooms…

A/N: Okay… so far so good… I hope this isn't confusing.
What do you think?
Anyway, the two Ocs that I've mentioned in the disclaimer (AkA the characters whose names weren't mentioned by the 3 headmasters) belongs to Kurisuchin Westphalia (Thanks Kuri~!). Their names and jobs, and all other info will be revealed in the next chapter so stay tuned!
Oh, and before I forget, I won't be updating Reaching Out For the Stars for a while. You see, I already finished Act 1 and is working on Act 2… but… I kind of misplaced the files in my laptop (I have tons of stories there… from ones with so many grammatical errors to unfinished ones…). I won't be updating until I find those files, so, I'll be focusing on this and another story for now…
