"Elsword, hurry up or we'll miss the train!" my older brother, Isa, calls out from somewhere beyond my door. Probably downstairs, but it doesn't really matter.
"I know, I'm changing right now!" I lie, continuing to play my game. Currently, it was Persona 4: The Ultimax Ultra Suplex Hold, Persona 4 Ultimax for short. This was it! My match for the red card, the highest rank, was now and I'm in the lead! "C'mon, just a few more hits!" I begin mashing in one of my buttons, hoping to get out of this combo. Once my character, Sho, breaks out of the combo, I lean forward in my seat. My combo begins and my heart starts racing. "I can do it!" My tv then turns off.
…
…
…Eh? "This is what you call hurrying?" I hear my brother's voice closer this time. My head slowly turns to him and I spot the surge protector with all the cords I plugged into it there as well. My head then immediately jerks to see if my PS3 was still on. …It wasn't, meaning…. "Now come on. And for real this time."
"My rank…" I manage to mumble. Silence then fills the room.
"You've been playing the game ever since you got back around one in the morning. Should've expected stopping sooner or later since school was in the morning." I remain silent. "Er… Bro? You doing alright?"
"MY RANK! I WAS SO CLOSE TO BEING AT THE TOP ON THE FIRST DAY!" My head lowers and I feel depression row over my body. "Leave me here to drown in my sorrow…"
"No can do. School starts today and not coming on the first day isn't an option. Besides, first impressions are key." I sigh as I stand up.
"I'll be down in a sec. Just gonna throw on my uniform and grab my things…" I say in a low tone. Isa nods as he walks out.
Black pants and shoes with a yellow bottom. A white long sleeve dress shirt with a yellow armband on the right arm saying 'Elder' and the school insignia on the left shoulder. A black vest with two strips of yellow in the middle and a yellow tie. This is our school uniform.
-Train. Isa's pov-
Somehow, out of complete luck, my brother and I make it on the train. "First day and we barely made the train. Gotta say, we're off to a great start" I say sarcastically. My brother gives me no reaction which makes me look at him, only to find him reading one of his 'mangas'. "Seriously Elsword, you ever gonna stop reading these?" I snatch it out of his hands and look at the cover. 'Seraph of the End' it read in the middle with a big seven on the side. I then look back at him and realize he's now on his phone, headphones in and some video already playing. I let out a sigh, taking out one of his headphones.
"This is a new episode. I would like it more if you didn't bother me" he replies in a bitter tone. Playing like that, huh?
"Would it kill you to do something outside of anime and gaming?" He pauses his video and looks back at me.
"I'm going to school, aren't I? This is something outside of anime and gaming." I facepalm.
"I didn't mean school. That's a given, smart ass. Why not hang outside with your friends, like you used to?"
"Don't you remember? The people who I was friends with moved a while back, which is why I turned to anime and gaming. Besides, I'm not quite fond of our current neighbors." Pretty sure they aren't quite fond of you either, especially after you yelled about a game this morning. "Why are you worried about me anyway? I'm not interrupting your daily life or anything."
"True, though I'm trying to make sure you don't become a shut-in." He then takes his book back and opens back up to his page.
"I'm not. Once again, I'm going to school which means I have to leave the house. Therefore, I-"I cover his mouth with my right hand.
"Yeah yeah, technicalities and all that." I remove my hand and spot a cute girl with long silver hair and pale skin. Her golden eyes looked like something you could easily get lost in. "I'll be right back bro. That super-hot chick is calling my name." I stand up and slowly make my way next to her. "Hey there beautiful" I say in a romantic tone. She looks at me, her face showing no emotion. Crap! I need to do something before she gets bored! I clear my throat. "Mind if I sit next to you?"
…
Silence is what I receive. "I'll take your silence as a yes this time." I slowly sit down next to her while taking a deep breath. When I turn back to her, her face still is unfazed. "So, what's your name?"
"You left your brother to come over and try to flirt with me. Why is that?" S-she caught all that?! I open my mouth to say something, but then stop once I realize that won't save me. "Please leave." I blink twice before standing up and walking back to Elsword.
"You got denied pretty badly today. Losing your flirtatious touch?" Elsword questions me. I look at him, and then go back to looking out the window. "I'll take your silence as a yes this time."
-Elder High. Elsword's pov-
After walking a short distance from the train, we finally make it to the gates of Elder High. Not like its prestigious or anything, they just like to be fancy. "We're finally here bro. Ready to make some impressions?" I hear Isa ask. His attention was toward the school and people he could meet. Mine, however, was into the new chapter of Witch Hunter. I then hear Isa sigh and look at him.
"Messed up on an impression already? So sad" I say as I go back to my manga.
"No, that isn't it. Look… Can't you leave the manga for the train and home?" I give him a glare as I look up from my book and he glares back.
"Fine, though know I'm only doing this because you had a bad train ride here." I open my bag and drop my book in. I look back at Isa to see his glare still there. "Remember, first impressions." He sighs again and we continue onward to the main building. Already, I see others sitting at benches and talking with their friends. Must've went to the same school or something. If not, that's some pretty fast friend making skills. I look back in front of me and notice the girl Isa tried to talk to on the train is not too far from us. "Bro, your failed attempt at getting a girl before school started is up front." He looks and then immediately starts walking slower. "You're that hung up on it?"
"If you were in my shoes, you'd feel the same way" he replies, looking depressed.
"It's probably the same way I felt this morning after you crushed… My… Ranked…. Match…" The depression from this morning begins making its way back to me.
"Whatever, let's keep moving. I don't see her anymore." I hear his footsteps walking away, but I remain in my spot. What'll happen to my rank now that I disconnected from the match? Will it stay the same? My eyes widen. Will it drop?! But I worked so hard on it! I won't be the first one as a red card! I feel myself being dragged. "No video game thinking." Oh, it's only Isa.
I yawn as I realize we've made it to homeroom. Oh man, I'm more tired than I thought. I look at the teacher and she looks back. "Go ahead and have a seat anywhere you like" she says. My eyes look right at the seat near the window. Isa doesn't want me doing anything anime or gaming related, so I'll just look out the window and daydream! Once I make it to the seat, I realize someone's already there. Am I really this blind when tired? I play it off and sit in front of him which is also in front of the window, but not by much. I then reach into my bag and pull out a Demon, an energy drink. (Monster, the energy drink, rip off :D) These usually keep me up when pulling all-nighters and I didn't have any yet. I pop it open and take a sip. I then set it down and pull out some paper. I should draw something, but what?
I then feel something touch my shoulder and turn in my seat. The one who did it was the guy behind me. Spikey blond hair with a bit of brown in it, blue eyes and pale skin. "Sorry to bother you, but could I have a bit of your Demon? I kinda stayed up all night playing a game that recently came out" he asks. Sounds just like me.
I grab my can of Demon and pass it to him. "Not at all. I did the same thing which is why I brought the Demon with me." He pours it into his mouth while avoiding touching the can with his mouth. "My name's Elsword. What game was it?" He passes the can back to me and I begin drinking it.
"I'm Chung and it was Persona 4 Ultimax." My eyes widen as I nearly choke on my Demon. "I was so close to losing the match, but my opponent disconnected, so it counted as a draw. Good thing too or else I would've lost my rank. Also, are you okay?" I cough twice and then nod my head.
"The person you fought… By chance was his name CrimsonBlur?" He slowly nods his head. "…I was your opponent then." His eyes then widen. "I disconnected because my brother unplugged my stuff since we had to go catch the train…"
"You're really CrimsonBlur?" I nod. "The odds of actually meeting you in real life. Gotta say, your combos are pretty intense. How'd you get so good when the game just came out? And with Sho even who's a newcomer."
"Well, he looked like he meant business so I picked him and did arcade once. After getting the hang of him, I decided to fight online with him and you pretty much know the rest. I just had experience from the last version and used them in this one is all."
"We have to finish our match. The fact that your brother did that in the time of something that important is unforgivable!" I nod. This guy gets me! "I'll have to add you once I make it back home."
I go to say something, but I then hear the teacher begin talking. "Good morning class and welcome to Elder High, where you'll be spending your days as freshmen at!" she says, obviously excited.
I look back at Chung and give him the rest of my Demon. "All yours, we'll talk more after she finishes talking" I tell him. He smiles and nods as I turn back, now noticing the rest of the students that filled in. In front of me is a purple-haired girl and to my right is the girl from the train. On her right just happens to be Isa. Looks like he still hasn't taken the hint from her.
"I am your homeroom teacher. You may call me Ms. Ann. I look forward to spending this year with you all" she continues with a smile on her face. "Now then, to start today off, I'm going to put your schedules out on this table. I want you all to come get them and take an index card with you. I know it's silly and childish, but I want you to write your name and the seat you're sitting in on it." She then sets down our schedules on the table as well as the index cards. We all then get up, grabbing the schedule with our names as well as the index card.
After writing the stuff down, I turn to my schedule. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday is: Seminar, Elrios History, Lunch and Basic Alchemy Training. Tuesday and Thursday is: Economics, Lunch, Literature and Gym. Hm… Not bad. I immediately turn around to Chung who was just about to tap my shoulder. I then pass him my schedule and he smiles. "All of our classes are the same except Elrios History on Monday, Wednesday and Friday" he tells me.
"Well, that isn't bad. We're pretty much with each other the whole time" I reply. We then turn back to the teacher.
"Well, homeroom isn't being extended like it usually would on the first day so it's time for your first classes. Please drop off your cards as you head out" she says as she stands by the door. As we walk out, we hand her our cards and work our way to our next class. It was then that I notice Isa by my side.
"Oh, hey bro. Haven't seen you for a bit" I say as he takes my schedule and looks at it. "Well?"
"Almost all classes. Just missing Seminar and Basic Alchemy. Well then little bro, good luck and remember, first impressions are key" he says before heading to his class. Chung and I just shrug and continue to ours.
-Lunch-
Isa, Chung, and I all make it to a table by ourselves. Some people are still getting their lunches while others are finding tables and sitting with their friends and such. "So how're you guys' days going so far? Isa asks.
"Fine" Chung replies.
"Not too bad" I reply. "How about yours? Meet any new girls?" Isa looks away. "And there goes the rejection look." Chung laughs.
"That grape head was flat chested anyway. Not like it made a difference if I got her number or not. I'm better off without her!" Isa announces to us.
"Sounds like you aren't taking the rejection all that well" Chung adds which makes me chuckle and Isa sigh.
"Whatever. She wasn't my type at all." I begin looking around the cafeteria again and notice a small girl with white hair and blue eyes carrying books in her hand, though one of them looks very familiar. She bumps into another girl that was walking and drops some of her books.
"Owie!" she says as looks at her fallen books.
"Sorry" the other girl says before walking off. Not even gonna help with the books? Rude. I stand up and walk over to the white haired girl, bending down to pick up the books.
"Oh, you didn't have to help out. Thank you though" she says as she sees me getting the books.
"Its fine, I don't mind" I reply as I see the book that stood out. Tokyo Ghoul. "Whoa, you read Tokyo Ghoul too?! That's so awesome!" I say with a bit more excitement than I should have.
Mmhm! I gotta catch up to Tokyo Ghoul re. Heard it's pretty good so far." I nod as I give her the books back.
"It is. Be sure to finish up so you don't get left behind." She smiles, nods, and then walks off. I then go back to my seat.
"Wow, someone actually reads that stuff like you do" Isa says.
"There's nothing wrong with manga. You should try reading it someday" Chung throws in as he pulls out his copy of Tokyo Ghoul re, sliding it over to Isa.
"Eh, I'll pass. Doesn't interest me as much." He then pushes it back to Chung
-End of the day-
Finally, the day was over and I was free to go home and do whatever. I hurry to the school gate and see Isa waiting on me. "All set to go home?" he asks. I nod and we begin walking to the train station. "What'd you think of your first day?"
"Wasn't too bad I suppose. I'd still rather be at home, playing my games" I reply. He sighs as we walk down the stairs.
"Life isn't all about games you know."
"Life is a game."
"You're crazy."
"Says you."
We then get on the train and grab a seat. I pull out my manga, Witch Hunter, and go back to reading while Isa plays on his phone. "Guess it did come in handy that you read manga. Helped you talk with that small chick."
"You're only bringing that up cause you had no luck today with any of the one's you talked to."
"Didn't ask for your opinion." I chuckle as I flip the page.
Whew! First chapter completed! Hope you guys enjoyed and tell me whatca think so far ^^
