A young girl walked down the long hallways listening to the sound of her footsteps. Most students were already in class, and the sound of their voices could be heard in the rooms as she passed. She paused to look at the classroom names as she wandered. Finally, she found a room with a sign labeled "Class 2-F."

"I think this is it," she stared the door. It was hard for her to believe that the door in front of her was for the class she was supposed to attend. Sure, she could count as a foreign student, but she highly doubted their choice of door was due to cultural differences.

She thought of knocking, but realized that door was a traditional one. She thought she would probably punch a hole in it if she did; instead, she opened the door.

Inconveniently, she interrupted a lecture the teacher was giving. Not only did the teacher stop talking and look at her, because the teacher stopped, the students looked towards her too. The teacher also looked incredibly angry. "Sorry," she bowed. "I was going to knock but I was worried about damaging the door."

"No, that's quite alright," the teacher responded. "I was just lecturing the students on their failure to meet the deadline for something."

"I've never seen Ironman be nice to anyone," she heard someone whisper.

"Alright," the teacher glared. "Even you guys should be capable of listening. This girl is clearly a student, and if you haven't figured it out yet, she will be joining your class as of today. Introduce yourself."

The girl looked towards the class. "My name is Shizuka Ookami." She then proceeded to sit down at what could hardly be called a table in the corner of the classroom. She pulled out her notebook and paid attention to the teacher.

It was hadn't been ten minutes before she felt a tap on her shoulder. Irritated she turned around to come face to face with light brown-haired boy.

"Do you have a pen I could borrow?" He asked. Shizuka handed him one and then turned back to her work.

"Hey Ookami!" she heard a female voice mention her name. "Why don't you come join us for lunch? We want to get to know you!"

"Okay,' Shizuka reluctantly came over to sit beside them. She wasn't exactly the most social person, but it would be rude to flat out say no when they were only trying to be friendly. She sat down beside the girl on the floor near the very low table they were using to put their lunch on.

Finally close, the friends were able to take in her appearance. She tied the middle of her hair in a ponytail at the bottom of her neck, leaving her brown hair to frame her face and resting on her shoulders. Her glasses were thin-framed, and her eyes were a deep sapphire.

"I'm Akihisa Yoshii," a guy said. "Over there is Sakamoto Yuuji."

Shizuka politely waved her hand in a gesture. She turned her head when she heard someone else speak up. "I'm Shimada Minami."

"My name is Mizuki Himeji," another girl introduced.

"Are you looking up my skirt?" Shizuka exclaimed, crossing her legs as she noticed someone trying to take pictures. She immediately slapped him.

"Kouta, at least have the decency to be stealthy about it," Yuuji sighed.

"G-green," Kouta managed to say, lying in the floor.

"No peaking," another girl popped up and grabbed Yuuji by his ear. She then turned to Shizuka. "I'm Kirishima Shouko, his wife."

"No you're not!"

"Oh yeah, and that's Kinoshita Hideyoshi. Don't you think she's a cute girl?" Akihisa pointed to Hideyoshi.

"I'm not a-"

"I'm pretty sure that Kinoshita is a male," Shizuka spoke up. "That's a male uniform isn't it? And isn't Hideyoshi a guy's name? Also, he doesn't have... what I would call... feminine body features..."

"Well neither does Minami," Akihisa said without realizing what he had done. Minami soon had him in a vice grip and was strangling him.

"I didn't say anything about bust size. Many women don't have defined busts, but your argument while using Shimada-san is invalid. She most certainly does have a developed chest, it just, according to your words, does not meet the adequate size for your perspective."

"Say what?"

"It means she has a chest you idiot," Yuuji face palmed.

"Well thank you," Minami smiled. "That makes me feel a little bit better. By the way you don't have to be so formal with us if you want.

"Is that okay?" Shizuka asked, with doubt in her voice. "I barely even know you. It seems rather impolite."

"So is talking about bust sizes and taking pictures up skirts but Kouta and Aki do it anyway," Minami said in a huff.

"In that case just call me Shizuka."

"You must be from another country then. So what brings you here to this school Shizuka?" Yuuji asked.

"My parents work abroad, and thought it would be best for me to stay in Japan. I lived with them for about a year but then they decided to send me back. They also ended up selling my old house so I had to move locations. They know someone who works at the school, so they decided I should go to this one."

"Oh yeah I forgot to ask you. What kind of grades do you have? How low are they?" Yuuji asked, recovering from Shouko's punishment.

"Low?" Shizuka was taken aback by his comment. "I'll have you know my grades are not low! I've never received a mark below a seventy percent!"

When Shizuka glanced over at the students in front of her looked at her with surprised expressions. She felt very uncomfortable, thinking they were judging by her grades. Great. I bet they think I'm stupid. Fantastic first impressions.

"Shizukawhat are you doing in F then?" Yuuji asked. "Unless something happened that was similar what went on with Mizuki then it doesn't make sense. You see, this is the class for idiots."

"My grades didn't carry over..." Shizuka sighed. "I guess at least I won't be in a class of people who are extremely judgmental based on your grades."

"Wait what did you say?"

"Sorry, I have a habit of speaking English to myself sometimes," Shizuka apologized. "Speaking of which, give me back my pencil."

"I lost it."

Shizuka glared at him. "You're going to have to pay ten dollar for it back."

"Ten dollars! Why do your pencils cost that much?"

"If you don't like the price than find my pencil."

"Anyways, we'll have another good asset for the Summoner Test War," Yuuji said.

"Wait what?" Shizuka was completely clueless as to what they were taking about.

"A Summoner Test War. It's when students declare war on each other and your power is based on your grade."

"Wait is it's based on grade how the hell am I going to be of any use? My grades haven't properly transferred."

"Nah don't worry," Minami laughed "Aki is the worst student. Literally, he actually physically hurts when you attack him because of how low his score is."

"You'll have to do the remedial tests," Mizuki said. "That way you can participate."

Shizuka opened her bento. It had some simple steamed rice with some sauce and nori on it. "I see. So once one class declares war on another, you fight to take out a specific person."

"Yes. In f-"

Suddenly, a girl burst through the door. She had black hair which was put into a pony tail similar to Shizuka's but her hair was much shorter.

"Class-E officially declared war with Class-F! Be prepared because we're going to take you losers out before the real competition begins! We don't want what happened last year to happen again!"

"So much for this being a normal school..."

The strategy was simple. They would send Minami along with Hideyoshi and Kouta went to the front lines. Akihisa and Mizuki stayed behind. Then Mizuki would join them, while Kouta would fall back and Shizuka would join the front.

The class-F students rushed towards where the class-E representative was, and unsurprisingly came into contact with the other students.

The teacher quickly approved the field.

"I summon my avatar!" The students cried, their avatars coming forth. The scores for history quickly appeared above their heads.

"Yes!" Minami smiled as her score was higher. Her avatar quickly took out its opponent. "I may be bad at Japanese due to kanji but at least my score for history isn't that bad!"

Hideyoshi was able to also defeat his opponents but Kouta wasn't so lucky. He spent too much time taking photos of girls that he never actually paid attention in history. He quickly went down. He screamed as he was dragged back to the remedial classroom.

"We have to press forward," Hideyoshi said. "There are so many of them here!"

"We need help from Mizuki!" Minami took down another. "There are so many that we won't stand a chance if we continue. They'll just gang up on us!" True to Minami's words, six students came out running towards her and Hideyoshi. Their avatars screamed as they were beaten.

"Don't worry guys! I'll be able to hold the lines at least until Shizuka gets here." Mizuki ran towards them, unfortunately too late to save them. There wasn't any way for class-E to actually take down Mizuki for a long time. Her marks in history weren't perfect, but they were higher enough than most of the class-E students combined.

Hideyoshi and Minami found themselves dragged and thrown into the remedial classroom by Iron Man. There they saw Kouta look up at them, and then point to two empty spots next to Shizuka. As they sat down they noticed Shizuka going through the questions like they were nothing.

"Done!" Iron Man said, coming over to her.

"Quickly now!" Minami grabbed Shizuka's arm and hastily led the girl to where the battle was raging.

"Where are we going?" Shizuka exclaimed as the other class-F students were following. Shizuka saw Mizuki in front of her, fighting against several students at once.

"Summon your avatar!"

"How?"

"Just say it!"

"Um," Shizuka thought she would sound utterly ridiculous. "I summon my avatar!" With a flash, a small chibi version of herself formed in front of her. It wore a traditional Scottish blouse with a blue plaid kilt and Green Beret. Its cute, furry tail poked out from underneath it. It had a giant hammer along with it.

"God damn that girl's score is high!" Kouta said. Shizuka's avatar jumped right into the fray without a care in the world. It eagerly laughed as it smashed through all of her opponents.

"Come on we have to get to the representative!"

"Don't you think that was overkill?"

"Nah. It serves them right for calling us losers," Minami smirked. "But enough about that. We have another awesome person to help us in the Summoner Test Wars this year!"

"I excel in history and the arts," Shizuka shrugged. "I'm only average in math and science."

"Well you're still better than class-E to probably B," Yuuji estimated.

"So what do I do after a Summoner Test War?" Shizuka asked.

"We wait until the next Summoner Teat War. Oh and don't forget remedial classes are on the weekend."

"Okay then, I'll be seeing you soon," Shizuka stood up and went towards the door. "Have a good day." She made her way towards where the lockers were, and gathered a binder she had. Once she has everything she needed she put the messenger bag across her shoulders and continued her way towards the front door of the school. She sighed in exhaustion. She knew that the school was different, but she wishes she had known beforehand.

"Hey wait up!" She stopped and turned around to see who it was. She recognized him from class-F earlier. She hadn't gotten much time to talk to him.

"Is there something wrong Kinoshita?" Shizuka asked.

"No," Hideyoshi replied, catching up to her. "We just didn't get a chance to talk earlier. I wanted to thank you for realizing I was a guy. By the way call me Hideyoshi. I have a twin sister so it's easier if you do that. "

"Alright..." Shizuka said with some hesitation. She found it a bit strange that he was thanking her too. "I'm sure they were just teasing you."

"Mmmm," Hideyoshi chuckled a bit. "I don't think so. It's nice being able to talk to someone who doesn't confuse my gender. By the way, your avatar was really cute."

Shizuka blushed at the statement. Cute was a word she had never heard used to describe anything about her "Thanks. I guess it reflects my personality and fighting style."

"Which is?"

"Smash you and smash you again. And if you're still moving try one more time," Shizuka laughed a bit. Then she stopped. "Sorry you probably thought that was really weird."

"Well," Hideyoshi said, as they reached a stoplight. "It was nice talking to you. My house is just down this way."

"Well, see you later then." Shizuka nodded and gave him a wave in response. Hideyoshi nodded before making a turn and walked off in a different direction to his house.

Shizuka's mouth curled up a bit, forming a slight smile. She was happy that she was able to have a regular conversation with someone. She wasn't used to being treated like she had been that day. They accepted her, and didn't seem to avoid her like she was something they had never seen before.

"Hey what's my weird, idiot of a brother thinking about?" Hideyoshi heard his sister Yuuko say. "Your face says there's something up. You're bad at hiding it.

"Coming from someone who bad at hiding their secret interest in yaoi?" Hideyoshi scoffed.

"A-anyways," Yuuko smirked, changing the subject. "I can tell it's something. Why don't you spill? I'll just find out about it later anyway."

"I was just talking to a new girl on the way home. She's one of the few that recognized my gender. She's nice."

"Aw, little Hideyoshi's got a crush," Yuuko taunted.

"You read too much romance manga."
