CHOZUKABE CITY, KANTO REGION, JAPANAt the borders of Kanto and Oshu where it reaches the side of the ocean in the region, a city resides in it. Its name is Chozukabe, a prosperous city that is rich with sea foods making it become one of the main trading cities in Japan that has high quality sea food. The city of Chozukabe has a cold temperature in the morning and night and normal at noon because of the cold winds that Oshu blows and being close to ocean. The city of Chozukabe is designed with modern and traditional structures while its lifestyle is filled with modern and has forgotten some of its traditional lifestyle.
Summer has just ended and means that school starts once again, meaning students to wake up early to get to school. The morning starts with the sun shining upon the city. Birds chirping and painting the skies with glee. Students already prepared to go to school much earlier to see their schedule. In a certain home, the blanket covered the sleeping person. A cellphone that was atop the furniture that was beside his bed, sounded with a rooster alarm. As the rooster alarm pierced the ears of the sleeping person, the blanket was removed revealing his face. He was at the age of 16 and had jet black hair with a red crystal necklace on his neck, his name was Naosashi Li. He reached for his phone and turned the alarm off and checked the time which was 7:30. The jet black haired boy yawned and got up from his bed to proceed to do stretches. After his stretches, he went to the open window and looked at the neighborhood he was in. He saw the bird in the sky, the few people jogging and few students walking down the residence. He looked in front and saw his school Chozu High. He mouth made a smile that greeted his morning then he proceeded to go down and prepared his breakfast which were two eggs and two slice of bread with a glass of milk. He sat down and said. "Itadakimasu" He then proceeded to eat silently. His home was merely small but complete with a kitchen and living room on the first floor and a bathroom and a bedroom on the second floor. Though complete, the sizes of the room were for one person only. As he finished the first slice of bread and egg, he looked at his phone and saw the time was 8:00. His school was 9:00 A.M. making more time. Naosashi then looked at the empty chair in front of him and a memory went to his brain.
2 YEARS AGO
The Li Family was having dinner which was prepared by their Father. The table they were in was for 6 persons, 2 on the left and right while one for the top and bottom. The eldest of the Li Family was at the short side of the table while their father was at the opposite. Naosashi and his sister was there at the left while the younger brother and sister were on the right table. Laughter filled the air because of Naosashi and his older brother making jokes for their family. Their father managed to stop his laughter. "Ok, that's enough now, the food is waiting." The Li siblings nodded and they prayed together. After the prayer they spoke "Itadakimasu!" and proceeded to eat. The family was filled with smiles and told stories about their day making their dinner, and night, complete.
BACK TO THE PRESENT
Naosashi continued to stare at the empty chair and finally look down at his food. He shook his head to rid of the memory in his head and finally finished his food. In a single drink, he finished his milk and thanked Kami. "Gouchisosama Deshita" The black haired boy said and took the plate and cup then put in the sink. He then went upstairs again to take a bath and came out wearing his school uniform, which was for the Senior Years while still attaining the necklace but he hid it under his uniform. Naosashi looked at the time and saw 8:30 A.M. and finally took his bag and key and left his house, locking it. He began to walk towards his school, while seeing some Juniors and some Seniors too along the way.
CHOZU HIGHHe arrived at his school which were four cerulean 7 storied buildings that were formed to cover the grounds of the school. The gate had a design in the middle like the Pisces Zodiac and just like the building, has the color cerulean. He entered the gate and proceeded to the Principal's Office to get his schedule. A map was placed in the front gate to help the transferees and juniors to memorize the school. He spotted the Principal's Office at the Second Floor. "2nd Floor, Building Sora…" He read and saw that the four building had names.
The one vertical on the left was Sakana or Fish its opposite was Tori or Bird the horizontal one on the left was named Umi or Sea and beside it was its opposite, Sora or Sky. He nodded and proceeded to Building Sora to get his schedule. At the way there, he saw some juniors and seniors like him but some weren't that friendly. Some looked at him with smiles or questioned faces while some were smirking but Naosashi didn't mind their stares. Some were already in groups even though they're juniors while some are all alone. When he arrived at the 2nd floor he saw that the Principal's Office was beside the Vice Principal's Office and proceeded to his destination.
INSIDE THE CHOZU HIGH'S PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE
Naosashi went in and closed the door behind him. He scanned the room and just like the color of the school, it was cerulean. A glass wall was cutting the room to a half but didn't made the other side be seen. "Good Morning, how may we help you?" A voice came from beside the black haired boy and saw a woman on her desk writing on her pad not even looking up.
The woman had brown hair and tied to a bun, she had glasses and a black suit. 'Must be the secretary.' Naosashi saw a name plate beside her and saw. 'Otose Urahana' "I'm here for my schedule, Otose-san." The transferee said.
The secretary, not even bothered to look up, nodded and pointed to the glass door. "You may go in, the Principal is waiting for you."
Naosashi nodded and proceeded to go in and felt the temperature inside the room was very cold. He saw a man standing at the center of the room, with a smile but felt fear in it. "Good Morning Li-san, welcome to Chozu High. I am Chozu Ryoma, Principal of Chozu High." As Naosashi heard his low voice that felt indimidating, not even caring if he knew his name. He IS the Principal after all. The black haired boy scanned the man in front of him, who was the Principal. His suit was black, his body wasn't that buff just a normal and average. His skin was pale, probably from the zero temperature, and his hair was jet black as well but standing. (If you want a complete look, just check Cyrus from Pokemon and make him wear a suit and has black hair and pale skin). Naosashi felt a weird disturbance towards this man in front of him but his senses was cut off. "Do not be afraid young man, my looks are like this but I assure you. I do not harm students." Ryoma assured.
Naosashi shook that weird feeling in him and nodded. "I'm here for my schedule, Chozu-san." The intimidated boy said to his current Principal.
Ryoma nodded and pulled his left hand from his pocket. He showed the schedule for Naosashi and held it out to him. "Here is your schedule Li-san. You're class is in Building Tori, Room No. 77. It is in the top floor of the building. Do not be tardy for 10 days or you shall be kicked out of this school." The Principal said with a warning glare but keeping his intimidating smile. Naosashi was creeped out further because of the man in front of him but nodded and took his schedule from his Principal. "Go along now or you shall be late for your first period and enjoy your stay in this school."
Naosashi nodded and quickly walked out of the room. He sighed and held his heart that was beating in fright. 'What kind of Principal is he?'
"Do not be afraid of him young man." Naosashi's attention was caught and looked to the secretary. "Chozu-sama may look frightening and intimidating but he cares for the school's students and everyone in here." The secretary said, who still hasn't looked away from her pad. The black haired boy got a little fright out of him when he heard that his Principal cares for them and decided to walk out but the secretary spoke once more. "Be patient as the sea, swim to the horizons as a fish, then aim high as the skies and soar and fly to it as a bird."
Naosashi had a questioned face at the secretary's words and decided to walk out. Outside he closed the door and paused for a moment. 'Be patient as the sea, swim to the horizons as a fish, then aim high as the skies and soar and fly to it as a bird…' The secretary's words confused the boy for a moment and decided to continue to his classroom. 'Scary yet caring principal and a weird yet wise secretary…' That thought inside him made Naosashi smile. "I think I'm liking this school more and more."
ROOM NO.77
As Naosashi stepped at the final stairs and finally got on the 7th floor of the building, he was, at that time, breathing heavily as sweat was dropping from his face and had his other hand on the wall beside him. "Seriously, why is my class at the most highest floor of this building?!" The tired boy complained and made a final sigh to catch his breath. After his sigh, he walked towards the hallway and saw his room was beside the stair. The room had two doors that were closed but decided the one closest to him and opened it. As he got a peak on his classroom, multiple of his classmates were already there. Some were in groups, chatting, some were in twos, some were alone and using their phones, while some were merely silent, while some were sleeping. After he scanned his classmates, he stepped in the room and surprisingly, no one noticed him but a few were looking at him with peak interest. Naosashi, not minding the stares, sat on the final row that was close to the window, allowing him to view Chozu City. He looked at his watch and saw that the time was already 9:00 yet their teacher was nowhere to be seen. Waiting for his teacher, he took a pad of paper and a pencil from his bag and decided to draw to kill time.
As Naosashi started to draw, a short girl with eyeglasses came up by his side, making him look and examine her features. The girl had a normal skin tone, her eyes were deep violet while her hair was deep purple and reached the past of her shoulder yet her height made her seem like an Elementary Student which made Naosashi kind of shocked. 'Is she even from here? Her height isn't even for seniors.' His thoughts were soon snapped as the girl's voice reached him.
"You're new here aren't you?" Naosashi not seeming to be shocked merely nodded as an answer. "The name is Takeda Aki and I'm just curious from what school you came from?" The now named Aki asked.
"My name is Li Naosashi I came from National Oshu High." Naosashi quickly replied and looked back to his pad to go back to his drawing.
Aki kind of pissed at Naosashi's attitude of looking away from the person you're talking to. "Oh, well then, nice to meet you Naosashi!" Throwing her anger, she said with smile.
"Yeah nice to meet you too, call me Nao for short." Naosashi suggested but still not looking away from his pad of paper.
A kanji of 'ignored' appeared from Aki's head and gritted her teeth, trying to keep her temper. "O-okay, enjoy your stay here." Aki said while grinding her teeth in rage and quickly left to go back to her friends.
As the two finished talking, another was looking at them that followed Aki's enraged form.
NAOSASHI'S POV
2 hours has passed and my teacher of Room 77 still hasn't showed up and as time passes, my classmates are becoming much noisier than before. With the time given for me, I already have drawn four people. The one in front left I drew, was a blonde teen wearing a black hitaie-ate with whiskers, over his pants and sandals, he wears a black uniform jacket with an orange zipper and buttons on the waist and sleeves, which was folded up. He has a red armband with a red spiral crest on his left arm. The one on the far left, was a black haired boy wearing a straw hat, with a stitched scar below his left eye. He wears an open, long-sleeved red cardigan with four buttons which shows an X-shaped scar covering most of his chest, with a yellow sash tied around his waist. The one on the far right was a salmon colored hair boy with a scale patterned scarf. He wears an open-collared, which is tucked in and zipped. The sleeve covers his left arm, leaving a strange mark, as well as his entire right arm, consequently exposed. He now wears his wristband on his right. His lower outfit consisted of a gold trimmed, black cloth around his waist that reaches his knees, held by a leather brown belt with an oval-shaped silver buckle, white knee-length trouser. The one on the front right had an orange spiky hair and wears a standard black shihakushō, but has two white shoulder plates crossing his chest in an X shape that hold two pure black blades in place, with the plate on his left shoulder having three sections adorned with red scales, and a white cloak with black markings tied around his waist.
I have already finished my drawing and there was no more space to draw. I landed my head on my right hand and sighed. As time passed, some students has noticed my drawing and some already asked my name and asked what I was drawing. I remembered them saying that I should become a manga artist but I merely replied with a nod and that I was drawing was merely my imagination but it's not really my imagination. Some nights I would dream of these people, these four people with extraordinary powers and it's not just them. There were so much more, like a blonde haired guy in a suit can light his feet in fire. A white haired old guy in a white suit can destroy 3 mountains with a punch. A blind indigonette girl that can form a shield with blue strings on her hands. A fox headed guy that can summon a titan surrounded with armor. Also a red headed woman that can change her powers with her armor. My dreams are getting stranger and stranger but I am amazed sometimes that they can do those things. Like in the mangas and animes here in Japan, they have extraordinary powers while I have this life. A boring school life but I have met interesting people in my life which made it a little bit of lively. Sometimes I would even hope that one day, the people in my dreams will come true. Hope.
Anyways I really hate becoming the star of attraction of anything because it makes me feel shy because they're praising me and I really hated being praised, except when I'm joking around. I looked beside me, which was the window, to see Chozu City. I wasn't really fond of being in a warm temperature because I came from Northern Oshu, the coldest part of my region. After a few seconds, I looked back at my classmates, who were still chatting and making noise all over the room. It really is annoying that these people are my classmates because I'm a silent guy when I'm in a crowded place but I mean really. Can't I get a normal classroom which can make a minimal noise? And why is the teacher so late? I've already looked at my watch and it's already 10:12 A.M. and still no sign of our teacher. I sighed once more. "Troublesome." I sat back on my desk and crossed my arms. I looked to see that girl, Aki, who asked me earlier. She was looking at her phone while with her own group of girls.
I scanned the classroom more because I haven't scanned that seriously earlier because I was just checking at first. I saw some people that peaked my interest, two people with a scar on their face. The first one was at the middle part of the class, he has a tanned skin and has gray, undercut yet rough hair and has mocha colored eyes. His scar was above his right eye that cut his eyebrow in half. He was apparently listening to music with his earphones. The second one was one seat apart from me, he has his scar on the left part of his lip. He has blue hair unkempt and rough hair that reached his eyes. From the looks of his seating, he's very tall that makes him intimidating. Apparently he was talking to his seatmate, who was a girl that reached his shoulder. I saw that she has normal toned skin. Her hair was pure crimson and reached below her shoulders. Her eyes though were pure orange and seemed happy talking to that guy. After more seconds, I finally stopped looking at my classmates and I pulled my necklace from underneath my uniform and I looked at it. This necklace was given to me by my mother after a certain incident that happened but that's for next time to tell anyways.
More hours passed, I've already taken my lunch break when it was 11:30 P.M. and I even manage to examine Chozu High but when I returned at the classroom, our teacher still hasn't appeared. I sighed and looked at my watch to see 1:00 and only 2 more hours to go until classes are over but some have already skipped their classes and went home already. It was good for me too, at least. I mean the noise finally toned down but this was one boring of a first day. 'I guess our teacher won't show up huh?' I sighed 'I'm getting tempted too to skip but….' The face of Principal Chozu then appeared in my mind. A chill was sent through my spine when I remembered his face. Damn, that guy is seriously creepy! I sighed then landed my face in my hand again and looked outside. 'What the heck happened to our teacher? Is he absent or something? Well he's bound to show up tomorrow right?'
It was official, this was the first boring day in Chozu High.
