"Now arriving at IS Academy, now arriving at IS Academy. Please gather all your belongings and watch your step when exiting the tram."

A figure stood just off the ramp of the prestigous IS Academy. To some of the female student body there, they saw this person walking out of the Tram that connected to the main land and were in a better word for it were confused and somewhat grossed at what the person was wearing.

Whoever this person was they were standing there in a tattered cloak that was covered in dirty and ripped along the ends of it. A backpack on the persons back was as tattered as their cloak.

The person took notice that alot of the girls around them were staring so they began to move towards one of the buildings.

"Excuse me." Someone said.

The person stopped and turned to see a woman wearing a formal outfit and a skirt. She had long black hair that was tied into a pony-tail that hung behind her. Just by looking at her you could see she held herself with confidence and strength.

This was Chifuyu Orimura, the first IS pilot to win the first every Mondo Gureuso and teacher at this Acdemy. And she was currently glaring at the person.

"Who are you and what are you doing on the school grounds." She demanded getting striaght to the point.

The person in the cloak just lifted their head slighty as she was just a few inches taller then them.

"I want to come to school here." The person said in a calm voice, but their Japanese was spoken with a light accent.

Chifuyu just sighed pinching her nose, "Look, I know you may of come a long way from the looks of it. But you have to apply during the testing periods and pass an exam to enter this school. Not just anyone can walk up and enter the school." She said giving the same speech she had to give every now and then to students that come to the school thinking they could just join. "Your going to have to return home."

The person just shook their head, "I can't do that."

Chifuyu raised a brow to this, "And why not?"

"I don't have a home anymore. These are all I have left." They said referring to the bag on their back.

Chifuyu groaned, she thought this was going to be another tough girl wanting to fight for a chance to enter the school, "Look, I'm sorry to hear that you don't have a home but you can't stay here. The Entrance exams are already passed. But maybe next year you could try." She didn't want to be harsh but she wanted the person to get the hint.

Sadly that wasn't going to be happening, "You let Ichika Orimura enter the school even thou he applied late and didn't take the Entrance exams. If he can do that then why can't I?" The person said taking a few steps forward.

Chifuyu didn't want to continue this any longer and the meantioning of her brother just added fuel to the fire, "Listen. There is no possible way that you are going to be able attend this school. Now go back onto the tram and go home. Now!" She with a bit more force this time which gained the attention of some the passing students.

Murrers were heard by both from questions of why was Chifuyu-Sama fighting with a person that was in rags. Or why were they fighting in the first place.

Chifuyu saw that the person wasn't going to give up and was about to call for the campus sercity to remove this kid when she saw them reach for the hood and pull it down.

"What if I was a special case like Orimura?" The person said revealing their face to her which in turn made her confused.

"Your a guy." She said looking at the male infront of her.

Indeed one could see that it was a guy from the look of his face, his dark tanned skin. He had short spikey hair which was a dull white tone, and his eyes. They were a deep red, maybe crimson as they looked at her. She could see a hint of anger inside of them but left it. Which brought to something else, he had tribal markings over his right cheek which was strange. (For those that have trouble picturing him here is a link to the image that I based him off of, : art/random-guy-i-designed-40566967 .)

He tilted his head, "I am. So can I attend the school or not?" He asked once more only making Chifuyu growl.

"I don't care if you are a boy. I could care less if you were a girl. And I am getting tired of repeating mysel-" She was cut off as the boy lifted his right hand over his chest as a faint gow surrounded it and he swung it out as it was wrapped in light.

Chifuyu covered her eyes not expecting what to see next.

The boy stood there nothing changed expect for his arm which was now visible and covered by white armor which made his forearm larger and his hand was larger to match the arm it was attached to, only it ended with clawed fingers.

Chifuyu's eyes went wide as she realized what he meant now.

"You can use an IS." She said.

He nodded to her, "Orimura isn't the only male to be able to pilot an IS. He may of been the first to be find, but whats to say that if there was one who could use an IS but didn't want to be found?" He said making sense. She knew how bad it got after Ichika was found out to be a male that could pilot an IS. Reporters hounded their home and even she was bothered on the topic.

She looked at him straight in the eye and asked said one word, "Why."

The boy was confused again, "Why what?"

"Why are you coming out with this now. Why not before."

Chifuyu noticed the boy's mood change.

"I have some complications. I don't have a home so I was forced to move from place to place finding work where ever I could. Which is when I found out there was another male that was the same as me. I wanted to find him which is why I am here."

Chifuyu listened to him, but something inside of her was telling her he wasn't telling her the full truth, but she pushed that aside for the moment since school was going to begin soon and she would need to get to the meeting before class started.

"Come with me." She said turning around and began to walk away.

"Am I going to become a student here?" He asked her as he rushed to catch up with her as he released his IS arm.

Chifuyu just sighed once more, "Seeing as you gave me a reason to let you join the Acdemy and that you have proven to me that you are not only a male but that you can use and IS and are currently in possession of one. I think you gave gained my attention but the deicison to let you attend lies with the Director. She is the only one that could allow someone to join the school so late." She said walking into the opening doors of the main office building.

Chifuyu lead him into a corridor where she walked all the way down before stopping at two doors that were not door in a way. They were two traditional Japanese sliding doors.

She knocked on one of them and a soft voice said, "Come in."

Chifuyu opened the door and montioned the boy to enter first.

He did and when he got inside he was shocked to see that it wasn't a normal room. There was a garden area which lead to a small pond that had a bridge going over it which lead down a short path to a wooden top where a older woman sat down sipping tea.

"Director, we have a new appilcat that wishes to attend the Acdemy here. And I believe that you may want to talk with 'him'." Chifuyu said as the woman looked up to see the two standing there.

"Chifuyu I thought your Brother was already attending this school, and mistake me if Iam wrong he is in youre class." She said taking another sip of her tea.

"That's just it, this isn't my brother yet he is able to weild an IS. He showed me this just outside." She said shoving said boy forward almost making him fall into the water.

"Hey!" He shouted barely catching himself.

"So, another male pilot has appeared. Come closer child." The older woman said as he moved over the pond and stopped just before the wooden panels. She looked closer at him eye him up and down, "So tell me what is your name boy?"

He just smiled and bowed to her, "My name is Dustan, just Dustan."

The Director just smiled as she poured tea into a new cup and placed it on the table across from her before she montioned for Dustan to come up and take a seat. Which he did after removing his backpack and cloak, carefully placing them both down before removing his shoes and walking onto the wooden panels as he kneeled down and sat infront of the woman.

"Now, explain to me just how is it that you can use an IS and why you came just before school begins asking to attend?" She asked getting straight to the point.

Chifuyu took this as her moment to remove herself from the room as she had her own meeting to attend. She knew that the Director would know what to do with this boy and respected whatever she would decide in the end.

Dustan took hold of the tea before him raising it up and taking a sip of it, "This is really good tea. Thank you for giving me some." He said showing his apprecation for the drink, "And do you want to hear the long version or just the short version?" He asked.

The Director just smiled stiffling a chuckled, "The long version please."

"Are you sure, it's a long story and will take some time for me to explain it all."

The Director just chuckled once more, "My dear boy, we have all the time in the world."

Dustan sighed taking another sip of his tea, "Then I guess the best place to begin is three years after the Alaska treaty..."
