He felt his chest tightened and his breathing became erratic, all he could think is: 'What is going on? Wait a minute, what am I doing here? Aren't I on my way to school? Where the heck is my dorm!?'
In front of the seventeen year old brunette, a huge stretch of land situated across the valley was surrounded by a high wall. Armed with banners of red, white and gold with words in green, a 'Welcome Fresh-mans to the New Year!' sign was draped over the iron gate entrance separating the valley from the cities with a long line of teens in school uniforms, dragging their heavy luggage along with them as they headed towards a thick patch of wood.
The seventeen year old was on his way to the boys' dorm that is located deep in the woods from the left of the school, separated from the girls' dorm by multiple rivers originated from a mountain behind the school. Due to the unfamiliarity to the new environment, it's vast forested area and a lack of map directions, he got lost as a result.
"What should I do?" he muttered despairing," At this rate, I'm never going to have a bed situated near the window since it is a first-come-first-serve basis."
Just as the brunette was about to step onto a red bridge across the river in the middle of the valley, he spotted a young blonde girl wearing the school's uniform with her back facing him, sitting on a tree trunk near the river bank, her amber eyes focused on the river surface. Her concentrated expression peaked the interest of the boy. He silently walked towards her and was amazed at what he saw.
In front of her on the clear flowing water, multiple of shining droplets of sparkling water was floating in the air, forming various unique variations of lace patterns. Shifting from different shapes, colours and sizes. It even created a mini-rainbow under the sun.
"You do know that it is rude to stand behind a maiden's back and stare silently without introducing yourself," came a melodic voice tinged with a bored tone. With a hint of mischief flashed in her amber eyes, she sent the floating droplets of water, turning them into sharp icicles with intricate designs towards the boy.
Getting caught off guard by her sudden attack, the boy instinctively held a hand up. A gust of wind gathered in front of him and created a barrier of air, sending the ice straight to the ground, effectively rendered her attack useless.
"Hmm, it seems that you are gifted with the power from the power of wind, how about this?" The girl amusedly sent another wave of huge icicles towards him without hesitation and back flipped to the river, landing perfectly on the surface. This time, her icicles were doubled.
The boy caught sight of it and panicked at her attempt of assaulting him with her powerful control of the water element. Knowing that he could not put up another wind shield against such huge numerous ice needles in time, he brought out his trump card.
Never use it unless it's life-or-death.
He pointed directly at the huge icicles flying to him with a finger, a blinding light stretched across the river bank, a void starts to appear and the icicles in front of just vanish. To him, the time taken for the icicles to disappear seems like forever. As soon as the void closes, he felt a weakness in his legs and they started shaking with the strain. He immediately fell to his knees, panting harder than he was before.
As soon as the light faded, the girl looked around her in shock, wondering what had happened to her icy creations. When she spotted him with his slightly tattered school uniform trembling like a leaf on the ground, she hurriedly ran towards him and asked,"Hey, are you alright? What did you just do?"
The brown brunette gathered himself, shaking his head at her sudden change in personality, chuckling, " I am alright. And whatever I just did, it's a secret."
The blonde blinked for a moment and smirked, hmmm, finally, an ability worth discovering! My once boring school life is going to be interesting.
"My name is Fuwa Aika. What is yours?"
"Yoshino, Takigawa Yoshino. It's a pleasure to meet you. By the way, do you know where is the boy's dorm?"
AN: Please R&R. Thanks.
