Chapter 3: Explanation and Dorm
Tsuna turned his head at the familiar voice and gasped. He was looking the person who he didn't expect.
"AH..!"
The newcomer, after heard a shout turned his head and gained a very shocked expression, "Tsuna?"
"Shoichi?" Tsuna asked, unsure.
The newcomer's older than Tsuna. He has neck-length red hair, green eyes and wears glasses. He also wear black button up shirt with a white blazer and white slacks. It had black lining at the end of the sleeves and hem. On right chest the school logo was stitched and blue tie as the finishing touch.
Irie Shoichi, a childhood friend of Tsuna, they met when Tsuna visited Hong Kong for two month. That time Tsuna still seven and Shoichi is nine, they used to be classmate and neighbor (they live in same apartment and their rooms next to each other). They always spent time together when their fathers were working.
Oh, Shoichi's father was Iemitsu's Editor (only in Hong Kong).
But like usual, when Iemitsu had finished his book, he and Tsuna have to leave Hong Kong and go to another country.
So of course Tsuna is shocked to see his old friend in here. "What are you doing here?"
"I..I have been in Tokyo since Middle School." The redhead answered. "And what are you doing in this country, Tsuna?" Shoichi knew, he knew about Tsuna and his past. He couldn't believe his friend really back to Japan.
"My father." Answer the brunet simply.
"Ah, I see."
"Ok, then..." the both of them startled by the principal's voice, they have forgotten about him. "Your luggage will be transferred to your new dorm, Tsunayoshi-kun." And he turned to the red-haired teen "Since you both seems know each other, I don't need to introduce you. Shoichi-kun, could you show Tsunayoshi-kun to his dorm?" Kawahira smiled.
Shoichi bowed, "I understand, sir."
When both of them were about exit the office, Kawahira's voice called again, "Oh, it's Niji Dorm."
The white-haired principal only chuckled when see Shoichi's shocked face.
"I can't believe it!" Shoichi threw his hand to the air.
Tsuna just stared him, little annoyed because his friend had been repeated that for three times, "Dakara, nani?"
"You… you are part of Niji?! That's awesome! How can?"
"Shoichi calm down, first can you tell me what the hell is Niji?!"
"Oh… right, ok I'll tell you."
The both of them were walking around Academy. Shoichi took a breath and began his explanation,
"The student in Kaisei Academy divided by two groups, Kuro and Shiro. Like their name, you can distinguish them by their uniforms. When you enter this school for first time, your first game is to determine which group you're belong. And, before you ask anything, let me finish it first" He cut off Tsuna who was about said something.
"Actually, there is one more group in Kaisei Academy, Niji. Niji is… an elite group. That group wears cream blazer, you rarely see them in this school. Because unlike the other two groups, only a few students are the part of Niji. Always 13- no, 14 students. They have more freedom among the students. They can skip class whenever they want, not have to participate in school activities, not really bound to the rules, and others like that... Wait a moment-" Shoichi stopped and look at the brunet. "Tsuna, who's person who give you a game? You only can be part of Niji by beating the current student of that group in the game."
Tsuna looked at his friend curiously, "What do you mean? I just arrived today"
"Then, how can you know that you're part of Niji?"
"I don't even know. The Principal only laughed when I told him I met one of them."
"Who?"
"The Principal only calls him the Messenger. And before you ask, he did give me a card" Tsuna showed the card he got earlier.
How many surprises that Shoichi get today? Who knows… the redheaded only stare blankly at the card, the Queen of Spade, then he yelped "EHH?! Him? Queen? How?!"
"Shoichi, it's not me who will explain, it's you. Remember that I know nothing about this school."
"Ah… Right, sorry Tsuna" then he continues his explanation,
"Among the Niji, four people are the Royal, the chosen student who has more authority, they're like a student council in this school. Every student in Niji has their own identity, following the card terms. Jack, Ace, Queen, and King, is the Royal and the numbers two until ten is the others. The Royals have their own position and job."
"The King, Seitokaicho, of course, is the Ruler, King's word is absolute, other student respect and fear him at the same time, nobody dares to defy him or you can be punished. The Jack, is a Treasurer in school's council, but he is mostly known as the Punisher, have a job to punish student who broke the rules. The Ace, the Guardian, is a Secretary in school's council, protected the school and its student from inside and outside is Ace's job. Usually Jack and Ace always partnered each other, but well... You will know later. Move on- the Queen, Fukukaicho or the Watcher.. actually we don't have the student who held that position this year." Shoichi paused, pushing up his glasses with one hand. "... until you. After the last Queen, who had graduated from this school a year ago, nobody becomes the new Queen because no student can clear the game."
"The Game. In Kaisei Academy, almost everything is decided by a game. Students and even the teachers must follow this rule. What game? The game is different every time. From a board or sport games, an individual or group games, online games or video games, and other like that. Now the Game has several rules, but the most important rule is: The Game must be watched by members of Niji. So, if at least one Niji not present, you can't play the game."
"Question, Tsuna?" asked Shoichi.
The brunet gives him are-you-kidding look, of course Tsuna have questions, many of them. But he decided to ask the question he was most curious. "Does that's mean I become the new Queen? I'm new to this school, and like I said earlier, I haven't played any game. So why?"
Shoichi was silent for the moment. He looked at Tsuna, "Because you're chosen by him."
"Him?"
"The last member of Niji, the Joker. Have same authority and power as the Royals. His title is Game Master, the one who created and decided all the Game. But.. his identity is mysterious. No one knew about the Joker's name or face, he's blending with another student, either Kuro or Shiro. The only one who knew Joker is the Principal and the person you met earlier, the Messenger. Kuroko-san, a second year student and the Number Two. His job, of course to deliver a message from the Joker. So, if he gave you the Queen card, it means you're chosen to be the new Queen by Joker."
"It still didn't answer my question, why's me?"
"Sa, don't ask me, I don't know either."
After talk and more explanation later, Shoichi led Tsuna to his dorm.
Niji Dormitory, located in North of Kaisei Academy (while Shiro's in West and Kuro's in East). Although this dorm was smaller than the other two, Tsuna still stared it with awe from the entrance. Three-story building with cream walls and some green ivy surrounds it. A big Oak tree stood in left side of the building, and in the right not far from the dorm, Tsuna can see the beautiful garden which decorated with a bunch of beautiful exotic looking flowers and other plants all around, also there is a small stone pond filled with Koi fish. At middle of the garden, there's also a big gazebo. And Tsuna realized that someone was currently sitting in there.
"Tsuna?" Shoichi called him, "I'll leave now."
Tsuna turned at his red-haired friend, "You're not coming?"
Shoichi looked around nervously, "Erm, I have a class after this. And… I can't really enter this dorm because here's already Niji's territory." Give a last bow, he left the brunet alone.
Suddenly, a voice called him. "Are re, don't tell me you're the new Queen?"
Tsuna looked up, and met sky-blue eyes staring at him curiously. The other male has a blonde hair and three whiskers at each cheek. And according to his green tie, the blonde's first-year like him. "Ne, it's true Joker chose you? Do you know him? What's your name? Are you first-year?" he asked many questions. "I'm Number Nine at your service, dattebayo!"
"Umm…"
The blonde, seeing his discomfort just laughed, "Sorry, I'm too happy we finally got a Queen. So what's your name?"
"Sawada Tsunayoshi, you can call me Tsuna"
"Nu uh, I can't impolite, of course I'll call you Queen." the blonde just grinned. "Let me show you this dorm." Before Tsuna know it, the blonde dragged him inside.
"The first floor is where you can find the lounge to relax (have a fireplace and a TV), the library that has various books (study books, novels, comics, and many other kinds of literature), the dining room, laundry facilities, infirmary and the big kitchen, we have our personal chef for cooking. The second and third floors have all the rooms. A second floor was for the Numbers, have 9 rooms (each has own bathroom) and 1 storage room. The third floor was for the Royals, have 4 rooms, but bigger than other, only the Royal's room have fireplaces, balconies, and window seats, oh and we have 1 empty room on the third floor as well."
Tsuna just listening quietly at the blonde's explanation as he looked around, the dorm is bigger inside.
But even so, the dorm is empty.
"Anoo, Kyuu-san." Well, the blonde hasn't really given his name. "Where's others?"
"Hm? Oh, nobody beside me at dorm right now. Some of Numbers attending class and other's just around in the academy. I don't know where the King and Jack, but the Ace is napping in gazebo." Oh, so the person he saw earlier is the Ace.
The blonde led Tsuna to his room in third floor.
The brunet stared at the door. A door with gold plate on it, QUEEN'S ROOM.
Tsuna sighed and opened the door.
The big, comfortable, and warm room. The wall was painted in orange, while the floor was a rich brown that was even darker than the walls with a navy carpet in the middle. The milk-chocolate colored bed was covered with cream blankets and pillows of all shades of light red. On the left side of the bed, there were small tables with a white lamp. On the other side of the room from the doorway, the back wall was nothing but a massively large window that covered almost the entire wall, and gave a view of the beautiful garden and also a veranda with red curtains. The other small door with green picture, lead to the bathroom. At the end of right bed, there was a slightly curved dark-brown wardrobe. The elegant yet classic theme has dominated the room, a beige-colored couch placed in front fireplace.
"Are you sure this is my room? Not hotel room or something?" Tsuna asked.
"Why Queen? Of course, this is your room."
"Isn't it too big for myself?"
"No, the Royal's rooms were bigger than others. This is one advantage of being the Royals."
After the blonde left (he forgot to ask his name!) Tsuna decided to have a little nap, ignoring his ringing phone because he knew who's from.
