"So, i have to spend my entire high school life here, huh?"

A boy with black, spiky hair was standing and studying the huge building and its neighbourhood. he wore a black jacket and black pants -probably his uniform- and held his bag on his left hand. he walked an even, steady pace, past tall, rustic buildings that had been there for nearly half a century, and skyscrapers that seemed to go on forever, until he finally reached his destination: Iwagakure High School Main Building, located in the ever expanding city of Iwagakure City, known for it's tourist hot spots, and strategic location. This is where he'd be staying at for at least 2 years with his aunt and cousin.

He entered the school gates, and took a look around. It was bigger than his previous high school, he noted, and seemed pretty eco-friendly. Out in the courtyard was a large, ancient tree, and in front of that was an even larger hole. His black eyes didn't dally as long as they should've on that as he made his way inside the building.

From what he could see, The school probably had about 50 rooms, 6 classrooms for each grade, and offered 7 clubs: 4 sports clubs, and 3 culture (he saw the clubs' posters in the hallway). Behind the school was an open field for the Track and Soccer teams, inside was a gymnasium for the Basketball and Kendo team, a cafetaria, and an auditorium.

Takeru brushed past various students roaming the halls as he made his way to the Faculty Office. He could only catch bits, and pieces of their conversations as they blurred past him, but it seemed like most of them were rumors about recent incidents occuring in Iwagakure. Apparently, people weird finding it weird that most of the victims were students that attended this school, and that their body were found nearby the school as well. He paid no mind to any of them -they were just rumors, weren't they?-, as he took hold of a brass doorknob, and entered the office to see which homeroom he'd be placed in.

The room felt small, tight, with various files, and books filling every open space. He tucked his map underneath his arm, and politely called a blonde woman with Sandy brown blazer and skirt. The woman was startled and almost dropped the file she was reading.

"W-what?!" She spun around, and braced herself for action, but her features softened when she saw who it was, "O-oh.. You must be the new student." The slender woman coughed into her hand, and smoothed out her dress, "..Takeru Hasegawa.. 11th grade, right?" He nodded, "Let's see, you lived with your grandparents before you moved here, and.." she gasped abit as her eyes caught a certain info, "I'm sorry, i haven't read your files yet this morning. Um, Well, I'm Ms. Genji, and I teach Mathematics. Welcome to our school." She gave him a warm smile, which he politely returned.

"Thanks, it's nice to meet you. Um.. And about my class.."

"Oh! That's right, you're in 2-A; that's my class! If you want, I can show you the way." She seemed awfully.. Bubbly, to be a teacher, he thought.

'At least she was much better than that rabbit-teeth teacher back in my old school..'

He shook his head, and stuff his hand back into his pocket, "It's alright, Sensei, I think I can manage." Besides, there was still a few minutes before the school bell rang, and he wanted to look around a bit more. She nodded, and returned to whatever it was she was doing, and Takeru exited the room.

As Takeru walked around the school, he accidentally bumped into a heavily sweating brunette student with bag on his left arm who was running into his direction. Was he jogging on school's hallway?

"Whoa, ouch! s-sorry, pardon me!" he apologized as he quickly gathered the books he dropped and wiped the sweat from his face. he wore his grey school jersey, and had a tape on his left cheek. Takeru helped him gathering his book.

'.. Magical witch detective..?' ...Okay~?. He then quickly gave the books to the brunette, while he tried to erase the book's title from his mind.

"Thanks, man!. Sorry for bumping you really hard." the brunette grinned took the books and put it back into his bag. "My Name is Daichi Ishikawa, 2-A. Yours?"

"Takeru Hasegawa, from 2-A too."

"Oh, then that makes you my classmate for a year!" he chuckled, and then stopped and looked around uneasily, was he running away from someone?

"Why don't we head back to the class? i'll show you around the school-" Before Daichi could finished his offer, someone yelled at the brunette not far from them. Takeru swore for a second there, he felt a monstrous aura emitting from the girl.

"Daichi! Come back here!" The voice sounded quite feminine, and really angry. The figure then ran towards them with a wooden sword on her hand. Before the girl could hit him, Daichi already dashed to school's gate.

"Whoa! s-sorry, gottagoseeya!" He shouted and ran as fast as he could from the furious girl. The female student stopped and panted heavily, and then sat on floor.

"That Daichi.. he's sooooo dead! DEAD. MEAT.!" she sighed and threw the wooden sword away to trash bin (why did she do that?!). As she was going to stand up and left, she noticed takeru was staring at her.

"Um.. You are that girl from the station right?"

"Huh? Um.. wait, Oh yeah! We've met before! So you really are the transfer student huh?" She recalled the memory when they bumped -more like, knocked him out- into each other at the train station 2 days ago. Apparently she knocked him hard, REAL hard on his head with A wooden box that was used for keeping Blacksmith's tools -Wonder what she was doing with those things?- that she and some people had to take him to hospital. Luckily, nothing serious happened.

"Um.. what's your name?"

"The name's Mina Takegawa! but just call me Mina-chan." She grinned innocently,"yours?"

"Takeru Hasegawa, Nice to meet you, Mina-chan. Just call me Takeru."

"Nice to meet you too, Takeru-kun!"

As they talked, some female students passsed by and teased Mina for talking to a rather quite handsome student. Takeru blushed at the comment while Mina told them to walk away.

"So uh, which class are you in?" Takeru asked after the students were gone.

"2-A. the same as the Paranoid Pervy Goofball Baseball Club Member- Uhh~ i mean, Daichi." She laughed nervously

"Hey, me too. Mind telling me where the class is?"

"Sure, Let's go! Oh, and Welcome to Iwagakure high school! hope you'll like it here!"
