Kay. So, My go at an Elsword school fic. A long one at that since the timeline will stretch over two or three years. I wasn't sure if I should do just one year or more but... yeah I decided on more. It's loosely of based off of the Japanese school system but I don't think I can be too accurate with that XD
Hey, I been thinking about this one for a while now and since school has already started for some people, it fits the mood right? :3
I err... have other versions this type of fanfic but... I went with this one instead.
Anyways, the first chapter or two - or three - will probably just be some explanatory stuff to create the setting and mood.
Second Year [Age 15-16]: Classes (For appearance sake) that showed up.
Elsword Sieghart- Rune Slayer
Aisha Cerise - High Magician (With glasses, change with time)
Chung Seiker - Tactical Trooper
Eve Silvia - Code Electra (Change with time)
Rena Lire - Combat Ranger (Change with time)
Raven Corvus - Blade Master
Ara Haan - Yama Raja (Eh... I was debating if I should use 1st or 2nd class on this one)
Note: This is a typical high school story so they're all normal humans - as normal as they could get - and they're all the same age or close to it. And I'll update this whenever someone is added or the appearance has been changed
***I'm kinda following the age timeline(In Elwiki) for when the cast job changes but, uh, Eve and Rena didn't... have an age... cuz y'know, theirs were unknown and Ara and Raven changed when they were much older so there's that too.***
Disclaimer: I do not own Elsword.
Another day, another year at Velder High.
Aisha Cerise drifted into space as her teacher ranted off again. Something about never putting jelly on your meatloaf or something like that. Why her teacher would even do that in the first place was anybody's guess.
It was her second year in high school. Nothing special. Except for that one thing when the Chairman of the school decided that it would be fun to rearrange students in their classes, so that they would make friends with other students of their year.
Honestly, during her first year, her class was just getting to know each other, and now they were scatter again. The school had a principle of students creating bonds with their classmates through their school career, meaning they're guaranteed to have the same class again and again until they graduate. But for the Chairman to just up and rearrange everyone… that was everything against that very concept!
… At least this was a one time thing - or so Chairman Glaive said.
But Aisha shouldn't be complaining. She was lucky enough to have her friends in this very class and for the rest of their school life as well.
Aisha looked to her left through her black-framed glasses, seeing the friend she had known since middle school, Rena Lire, sitting right next to her, drawing. She couldn't blame the blonde for being bored. This teacher always go on long tangents that usually last for the entire class. They might as well rename History class to Random Tangents class.
She shifted her head and looked to the far corners of the room. At the very front row, third desk closest to the front door, sat Eve Silvia. She and Rena met the silverette just last year when she enrolled. They were in different classes back then but despite that, they were able to become friends. They later found out that they were pretty lucky to befriend Eve. For one, for she was hard to approach, and second, she was the heiress to the Nasod Corp, the leading company in technological advancement.
Next, Aisha's eyes shifted to the raven haired girl in the middle of the first row. Ara Haan, they had only met in the middle of last school year since she transferred in. She was originally from Sander but moved here due to circumstances.
Those three were Aisha's closest friends. And the four of them were part of a club, one with a unique charter. They only started it last year since Rena proposed it, and argued that they needed a club anyways. Velder High made it a requirement for all students to be engaged in at least one or more extracurricular activities.
RING RING RING!
The bell rang for lunch, much to the class's relief. They were finally saved from hearing Mr. Noel somehow ended up talking about celery sticks!
"Club?" Rena immediately said knowingly as she got up from her seat.
"Mhm." Aisha nodded with a smile. "Eve, Ara, c'mon, let's beat the rush!"
What the purplette meant by that was -
"Kyaaaa~"
"Elsword! Please eat lunch with me!"
"Chung, do you want to hang out with us~?"
"Raven, are you busy today?"
Aisha was lucky to have her friends in one class, but… why oh why did she also have to have the three most troublesome boys of the school in here as well?
Rena giggled. "As popular as ever~"
"They're the so-called 'Princes of the School' after all." Aisha rolled her eyes as she made air quotes. "I honestly don't see why they're so popular."
It was a bias opinion, she knew. She had never actually talked to the three boys before - except Raven, there was an issue around that one. She rather not be labeled as one of their fangirls to do actually get familiar with them. Other than being in the same class, Aisha and her friends never really talked to the Princes of the School before.
Except for the occasional greetings that Rena would give, but she does that to everyone. She was the cheerful and easygoing one of the group. Her personality also sparked her own popularity as well - not that Rena cared much about the social hierarchies.
"Haha," Said girl giggled. "So are we just going to stay here and gossip or got to the club room?"
"We should go." Ara decided. "It'll be… kind of loud in here and I rather be somewhere where I can't hear weird questions being spurt out by fangirls."
Eve tilted her head. "By strange do you mean when one of them just asked what they wore when they sleep?"
Silence.
Aisha faceplamed. "... Yeah, let's leave."
In Velder High, the years were separated by floor and by wing. Along the East Wing was the first years on the second floor, third years on the second floor. The second years were on the second floor of the West Wing while the third floor is occupied by the fourth. The first floor was for club rooms, the gym, the staff room, and other school facilities. There was also smaller, buildings that house sports such as Kendo and Archery.
And right now, the group of friends were heading directly to the first floor, on the West Wing, and the firth door to their right. They brought their own lunch there too so they could eat in the clubroom in peace.
Aisha stood in front of the room, labeled as the 'Service Club' before opening the door for the others to enter.
Right, the reason why their club was unique was because it was a club made to help the students. They come to make requests and the club will do their best to try to fulfill it. They don't ask for anything in return either, which made it seem suspicious to the students. But Aisha and the others weren't trying to pull a prank, they were sincere about it.
It didn't stop the club from being looked down on though. Throughout their first year, they didn't have too many requests being filed in, and it was completely boring. But quartet made the best out of it and turned it into a place where they could hangout. It was a club after all, where members socialize with each other.
"Okay," Rena chirped as she took her seat at the table that stood in the center of the room. "First order of business… what do you all have for lunch today?"
Each of the girls opened their own lunch boxes to show each other what they have and they started eating, occasionally trying out what the others have.
"Y'know…" Aisha started after swallow a bit of rice. "why did we start this club again?"
"Eh~?" The blonde half pouted. "How could you forget Ai! We only made this club because all of us knew that the student council was going to go downhill after last year's seniors leave!"
Aisha suddenly rubbed her temples. "Right… don't want to be reminded of… that election."
It was last year that an election was held for the positions of the next generation of student council members. Noah Iole was the Senior President last year and Aisha took an immediate admiration towards the former senior. Ever since she saw how she and her friend, Speka, had the students under control during a fight, the purplette gave her her full respect. They also talked a few times as well, Noah giving Aisha a few advices about school life and whatnots. They were, if Aisha dare say, friends.
But as good things come to an end, Noah and her friends had to graduate, meaning they will have to hand down the council positions to the younger students. They held an election at the beginning of the year, with the future council members being trained on the current state of affairs so that the transition of the seats would go smoothly.
Noah suggested that the younger purplette have a go at it, seeing how she was a class president. Aisha took her advice, only to be flat down defeated by someone else. Daisy Abigail was her name and the only reason why she won was because of the popularity vote. Damn the popularity!
"Daisy wasn't even interest in being president in the first place!" Aisha muttered. "Noah even told me how 'enthusiastic' she was when she was told of the responsibilities of the Student President!"
"Was it really that bad?" Ara asked.
"Right, you weren't there at the beginning of the year." Rena mused. "Pretty much."
"There is a high possibility that they will not lift their fingers to file even paper works." Eve added in her usual monotone. She was known for her lack of emotions and that was enough made her hard to approach. But Her usual silence also attracted attention from boys. They found Eve as an enigma, with her emotionless face and her cold attitude, it only pulled them closer to her, though that made Eve close off even more.
It was a wonder how they even became this close with the monotone girl.
"See?" Rena nodded in assurance. "Even Eve said something about them. The three of us found this club after that, to help people. Then you join in during half the school year."
Ara giggled. "And I'm glad to be here!" Knowing from experience, being with these girls were never a dull moment and it made Ara feel at ease in this school far away from home.
There was a knock at the door, followed by it sliding open. Two girls stood timidly outside, wondering if they should enter or not.
The pink haired girl seemed more reluctant, though her brunette friend nudged her side, earning her a squeak and a jump inside.
"Um… i-is this the S-Service Cl-Club?" The short brunette asked shyly, her figure visibly trembling. "I… I need some help."
Aisha and the others blinked. This was rare. Someone actually came in looking for their assistance, this early in the school year as well!
Rena sprung from her seat immediately, smiling brightly. "Of course! Welcome! We're the members. I'm Rena and these are my friends and fellow club members, Aisha, Eve, and Ara." The blonde pointed respectively.
"Have a seat!" She gestured to the seats in front of the table they were sitting at. Aisha and Eve were sitting behind the table while Rena and Ara were sitting at either side of it.
Sensing the friendly air that the blonde was emitting, the two girls relaxed and accepted the offers.
"M-my name is Anne, and this is my friend Hanna." Introduced the pink-haired.
"Hihi~" Hanna greeted, now cheerfully. "Sorry, my friend's pretty shy. It took me half of lunch to actually convince her to try getting help from the Service Club."
"Don't worry about it!" Aisha chirped before directing her gaze towards Anne. "So, what do you need help with?"
Much to the members' curiosity, Anne turned as red as a tomato and she refused to meet their eyes, instead, preferring to look at the hands placed firmly on her lap.
Hanna sighed in exasperation. "Honestly Anne, if you're going to be like that, you'll never be able to confront him."
"Confront him?" Rena's interest just piqued to their highest as she elicit a squeal of delight. "Oh my El! Is this about a confession?!"
Her friends could tell that Rena was very into these kind of things. After all, she loved talking about their love interests and matchmaking people when she found them adorable together. Though… she never bothered with her own love life.
As if Anne's face couldn't get any redder, it did. "H-Hanna!"
The brunette shrugged nonchalantly. "If you're not going to say it, then I will. We can't be wasting their time y'know."
"W-well…"
"It's fine," Ara waved it off. "We got time… until lunch ends that is."
"Why hesitate when you are seeking for our assistance?" Eve decided to blurt out as she sipped her tea. She didn't mean to be rude, she was just curious… in a very blunt way.
Aisha laughed nervously. "D-don't mind Eve, she's always like that!"
Hanna looked at Anne. "Well?"
The pink haired girl sighed in defeat. "Well, we- I mean, I came because I thought you girls would be able to help. It's… it's about this guy… i-in your class actually…"
Rena was practically squealing everyone's head off. "Really?! I can't believe how much of a coincidence that is! What do you need us to do? Set up a date? A meeting place? Get you two together? Oh, what what's he's name?"
Anne was overwhelmed by Rena's energy and her questions that her head was steaming again. "I-it's not - I - I mean…"
"Just tell us," Aisha encouraged, also a little excited about this task. She may be a bookworm but she have read many romance novels, she couldn't help but fawn over them.
Ara was very much the same, if not more. But seeing how boys just looked at her was enough for her to turn down the idea of going out with a boy. That and her overprotective brother. Though she would gladly be part of the ones who helped get a happy couple together.
Eve, however, was the black lamb of the group. She didn't show much interest in the subject, only wondering why her friends were getting so pumped up before they were even given their objective.
"For Lady El's sake!" Hanna finally exploded from impatience. "Anne here just want to meet up with this boy privately and confess to him so that they'll be on their merry way to becoming a thing!"
"H-HANNA!" Anne exclaimed, her face very, very bright.
Before she could reprimand the brunette though, Rena interrupted. "Who is this lucky guy? Who is it?! Is it Lowe? Kain? Maybe Natsuki?"
"No, no and no." Hanna replied, almost proud. "She actually has her eyes set on one of the bigger fishes."
"W-wait -"
"Bigger fishes…?" Aisha interrupted. "You can't mean…"
"One of the -" Ara continued
"- Princes?" Even ended with a raised brow.
"IT'S ELSWORD!" Anne blurted, not wanting to not have her own voice in this since it was dilemma.
Aisha promptly raised a brow. From what she saw in him in the last couple of weeks since school started, she was not impressed. Especially when he was late almost every school day. "... The playboy?"
"H-he's nothing like that…" Anne mumbled, decreasing her voice drastically as she fidget with her two index fingers. "He's actually a really nice person."
"Only because he saved you when you were falling down a flight of stairs." Hanna pointed out.
"Oh my," Rena started excitingly. "He's your knight in shining armor isn't he?"
Anne nodded while blushing profusely.
The lime-blonde girl squealed again before giving a thumbs up. "Don't worry! As members of the The Service Club, we will do everything in our powers to help you to the best of our abilities! Right girls?" She turned to her friends, who nodded promptly in response.
"Is there a specific date and time that we should arrange your meeting at?" Aisha asked.
At that, Anne looked to Hanna for suggestions. She hadn't thought that far yet…
"Whenever that Sieghart is free." Hanna responded. "And you can tell us when."
All in agreement, they exchanged contact information while Eve contemplated something.
"It's strange." She started, looking back at the two girls - mostly Hanna. "Elsword Sieghart is one of the popular boys of the school. Why are you not affected?"
Hanna blinked before giggling. "I could ask you girls the same thing."
Rena waved it off. "They have enough girls on their tails, why add more?"
"Not interested." Eve deadpanned.
Ara laughed. "Too much drama."
"They're just guys." Aisha mumbled idly.
"See?" Hanna laughed. "Not everyone have the same taste. Besides, I already got my eyes set on someone."
"Eh?! WHO?!" Rena asked in delight, only to receive a wink in return.
"Not telling~"
Just then, the bell rang, signaling the end of lunch.
The purplette blinked in surprise. "This subject lasted the entire lunch?"
"You know what they say," Ara responded as she got up. "time flies when you're having fun!"
Anne and Hanna got up. "Welp, tell us when you set up the time and place. Thanks~!"
The two left, followed by the four, who closed the door behind them. Minus Eve, the group was planning how to approach this.
"So, what would be a good date and time?" Ara mused.
"Has to be when they're both available." Aisha answered. "Ah… we should have asked Anne when she would be available."
Rena waved it off. "It's fine! We can just ask Elsword and then tell Anne. She would probably make time to come." The blonde turned to the quiet silverette. "Eve~ How come you're never into romance?"
"I find it unessential to one's life." Eve replied. "As long as we are adept in what we do that we could live on, we do not require such frivolous emotion."
Silence though in her friends' mine, they were all thinking - Typical Eve.
"We should just ask him when his not surrounded by his fans." Aisha suggested. "How's after school?"
"You seemed eager." Rena piped in amusement.
"The quicker the better right?" Aisha quipped with a smile.
"But… don't they have sports practice?" Ara asked in doubt.
The purplette crossed her arms. "We'll just talk to him before that."
Ah, pretty boring for the first chapter, it'll probably get better on the next one. Probably. And this is going to be a... LONG project... oh boy...
Chapters might get longer in the future as well... I think. Don't quote me 'cause I can't guarantee anything.
Oh and I got the Service Club idea from the anime Yahari Ore no Seishun Rabu Kome wa Machigatteiru. I find that anime enjoyable, to say the very least, so I would recommend that you should watch it too!
