( Get ready for the second surge because it's Sora's first day!)

Surge 2

'Alright alright...This is it...my first day!' Sora thought with some excitement as he woke up really early to get ready for his first day of school. Everything is all set from what books he was supposed to bring for class to the uniform being cleaned heavily, Sora was ready for anything. 'I'm glad that the school approved my uniform, I was afraid that they would ask me to wear the one that they provided.' Sora thought again as the school provided uniform sat on his clothes hanger, collecting dust.

Scratching his head at the sight, Sora continued to get ready for school. School is what he calls it but everyone else calls it an academy. He never got the reason for it but he honestly didn't care about it, he was going to call it a school and thats it. School...the one thing that he and Nee-san wanted to go the most because school holds the most important thing that they desire, Education. Though to most people think that it's no big deal but Sora knew very well that with education he would be able to know more about the world he lived in. He would also be able to fufill his Nee-san's wish of wanting to study.

"Nee-san..." Sora muttered sadly as he looked at the metal box on the drawer. He had it closed as he reopened it revealing silver goggles that are resting inside there. They gleamed a bit from the fluorescent light above him but it made him feel sad. His Nee-san...or Alice as everyone knew her as, died in a fire that he was also in but for some strange reason cannot remember. This was her most treasured item and the only thing he has to remember her by.

Shaking his head thoroughly, he refocused himself as he looked at the clock in his room and nearly panicked. "SHIT! I AM SO GOING TO BE LATE AT THIS RATE!" He shouted in his panic as he rushed to get ready that day.

As the sounds of a panicked man showering echo in the basement room, the goggles continued to gleam. It's as if it is responding to the wishes of the dream that two people shared.

Classes in the Academy are strict in their timing, just like any school. The one fact that separates them from other schools is that everything is strictly governed by the student council from the schedule times that the students go for class, the times that the student must eat and sleep at and the most important of all, the uniforms of the students as it is the identity of the NOL academy. Failure to follow these rules usually resulted in harsh penalties but there are some exceptions.

"Guh...Why world history again..." Makoto moaned loudly as Tsubaki, Hunter and Noel chuckled at the sight of their friend placing her poor head on the table in pain. "You know how important it is for us to study the world that our ancestors lived in before." Tsubaki said as she continued to rub her head on the table. "But still...why is it filled with so many words and not enough pictures of cool stuff..." Makoto said in her continued moaning tone as she rubbed her head to ease the pain.

"You sure do look like you need some good rest." Hunter said in a relaxed manner as he rubbed Makoto's back before patting it. Makoto was glad she kept her head buried to the table because she was a red tomato on her face. "Well...Let's do our best!" Noel said as she tried to bring up everyone's excitement levels but failed terribly as she couldn't help but whine a little bit. Then from their view, three more people approached the scene as Noel looked like she was going to burst to tears at any moment.

"Oh Noel...Hang in there." A blue haired girl said as Noel's eyes brightened up with excitement. "Mai! Are you hungry?" The moment she said that, Makoto, Tsubaki and two girls nearly barfed while the blue haired girl known as Mai and even Hunter himself looked at her with glows on their eyes. "Did you cook something Mistress?" Hunter asked as Noel blushed a little before revealing the well made bento box that had the name Mai on the lid.

"Oh thank you Noel!" Mai said with excitement as she took the lunchbox and opened the lid. Foul stench and censor bars were the only thing that people could see as everyone in the room took cover. "GAHH! IT'S DEATH DINNER!" one of the students shouted in horror at the sight. Death dinner... a truly suitable name indeed...*Shiver* for the very sight of it was enough to inspire terror in even the bravest of people.

Closing the lid to everyone else's relief, Mai just made a smile that was quite polite for a girl like her. "I am still wondering how you can taste the innocence in that...'Dish;" A lavender haired girl said as her uniform itself was quite different from the normal one. It was a blue long coat reminiscent of a scientist's robe as she wore a black pantyhose that reached to the inside of her skirt as she readjusted her lavender headpiece which was darker than her hair's color and was shaped like a butterfly.

" Oh Lady Mai! I promise that I will make a dish that will blow your mind!" A blond haired girl who tied her hair as pigtails said as she hugged Mai with an overload of cuteness. "Ahh! Shiori please!" Mai said as the girl known as Shiori didn't let out her attack. This made the lavender haired girl slightly angry as Makoto just looked at the sight. "You tickled pink yet Cajun?" Makoto cheekily asked as Cajun flinched at the comment. "What are you trying to imply Makoto?" Cajun said obviously trying to keep her cool.

"Oh nothing. I just can see why Mai's so desirable." Makoto said a bit lustfully as her eyes focused on the action with glee while Tsubaki, Noel and especially Hunter shielded their eyes at the sight. "Please Shiori...cut that out." Hunter said trying to sound rash but was in fact turning red the more this continued. "Mai Natsume, Shiori Kirihito! Please cut out this behavior right now...there's students watching." Tsubaki said as Shiori and Mai looked to see the various groups staring at them with amusement as the bell for classes rang loudly.

Everyone then got to their seats. Noel, Tsubaki and Hunter sat in one row while Makoto sat near the window a row behind them, right at where Noel would usually sit. This was a strategic move on her part as it allows her to spy on Hunter and Tsubaki secretly while making her look like she was paying attention to class. An excellent idea she came up herself as she recalls the one month of fantasies that she had imagining that she was a knight that was saving the helpless princess Tsubaki Yayoi and the equally helpless princess Hunter Long.

Yes that's right, Makoto imagined Hunter in a dress... 'Oh boy! I can't wait to actually put him in a dress!' She thought with glee as Hunter felt something pierce his neck for a split second. 'Oh god...Please have mercy on my poor soul' he thought to himself as the teacher entered the classroom. He looked really eccentric as he was jacked up on coffee. "Good morning class! As you all know that today's world history!" he said with glee while everyone else moaned.

"But before we begin the exciting world of World History! I got a special announcement for everyone in the class!" The class continued to groan some more as the teacher continued. "As you all know, three weeks ago we had Hunter Long and Mai Natsume join our class and the week after that Shiori Kirihito also joined our class as well." everyone just nodded their heads, hoping that he would get straight to the point. "Today we have a new student joining us!" The moment he said that, they cheered lightly as they saw it coming a long way.

As soon as he said that, everyone in the room heard loud footsteps running through the empty corridors. As loud as the footsteps were, the door to the classroom opened with equal loudness. "Sorry I'm Late!" The voice shouted as the students noticed the white hair with blond tips as Makoto instantly recognized the person who they could only see his head through the door, "It's that guy I fought before..." Makoto muttered quietly as the teacher urged Sora to come into the classroom.

The moment he did so, the students went all wide eyed as they saw his uniform and they just gawked at the sight. Sora was not wearing the normal school uniform but a completely different uniform altogether. He wore a black jacket that looked barely liked the school's own jacket as it had the shoulder pads but he wore the jacket unbuttoned as it did not have the school's tie and also had a white hood on the middle. The usual place where the yellow trim would be was replaced with white trim matching the white stripe in the middle of the school's jacket.

If his jacket was already enough to cause people to gawk then he took it one step further. He also wore a white collar shirt that was quite long. His pants were not the school approved slacks but black cargo slacks with the silver belts that he wore before holding them with the whole look finished with black boots. He looked like a total rebel to the system and the worst part was that he didn't even wear the jacket right as he let the right sleeve flow freely as Tsubaki herself couldn't stand it anymore.

Tsubaki: New student! Why are you not wearing the school approved uniform!

Sora: Oh! I cannot wear the uniform

Tsubaki: What do you mean that you cannot wear the uniform!?

Sora: I literally cannot wear the uniform. It is too small for my size.

Tsubaki: Then why didn't you consult the student board about it?!

Sora: I did, and I asked if I can make a custom made one.

Tsubaki: And they approved it!?

Sora: Yes. Not only it is approved. I even asked if I could wear this and they also approved it.

Tsubaki eyes widened in shock as she helplessly stared at the uniform of Sora. Everyone could see that she wanted to cry so badly at the sight of it as Hunter simply comforted her. "There there Tsubaki...It's alright." He said as Tsubaki wondered to herself loudly, "How on earth did a fashion sense like this get approved!?" Tsubaki herself worked with the student council and she knew well that the school wouldn't usually approve of this type of uniform. She was going to get the bottom of this as soon as this class ended. It was then her mind then suddenly realized who could have been responsible for this

FLASHBACK

A black haired man was just looking through the various proposals he had to approve. Not only the sight of it was enough to drive him mad, he desperately didn't want any part of it. 'Why did Jin-Jin make me do the paperwork today?' He thought in his mind as the onslaught of text was slowly driving his mind insane. After reading a while, he was at his final stack as he cheered in his mind, 'After this stack I am finally home free!'

But as if to crush all hope he had, A brown haired man entered the room with more paperwork on his hand. He didn't wear the normal uniform as he wore a military vest with a white long sleeved collar shirt that he had folded the sleeves and a ribbon tie. "Taro! Jin just gave you more paperwork." He said as he placed the gigantic pile of paper right on the table making Taro while on his seat.

"Jin-jin! Why are you doing this to me!? Please tell me what am I doing wrong Akane!" Taro begged on his seat as Akane shook his head. "Maybe next time you wouldn't consider tying him up too tightly with your ars magus webbing next time." Akane said as Taro placed his head on the table. Then as if a lightbulb flashed in his head, Taro took the whole pile of paper right in front of him and placed it at the approved bin. "I'M DONE! FINALLY!" He said with excitement as he grabbed his uniform jacket and slung it over his shirt that had a huge kanji letter on it. Akane just sighing at the sight, followed his friend out of the room

Lying on the pile of papers in the approval bin, laid a request that read like this.

Dear Academy,

I, Sora, have a request to make regarding my uniform. I have found out that the provided uniform is actually too small for me. I wish to request for the permission to make a new one and also according to your rules I can make adjustments to my own uniform. As such, I have added the following requests on the uniform itself that i have attached to a separate piece of paper. I also wish for permission to wear this uniform for the rest of the year until the new uniforms come in next year. I thank you for your time reading this and hope this gets approved.

Sincerely,

Sora

FLASHBACK END

'Taro Sasagae...I am going to have a word with you after this!' Tsubaki thought to herself as that whole flashback played in her mind as soon as she realized who was in charge of approval that day. Taro couldn't help but feel a cold chill crawl up his back, "Uhh...Jin-jin you're not the one who is causing a cold right?" Taro innocently asked a man who had blond hair and green eyes, just like Noel but wore spectacles and the normal uniform. "Will you cut out the Jin-Jin please...and no I am not causing that cold." Jin replied almost coldly as he walked off.

Meanwhile...

"Well why are you just standing there boy! Introduce yourself to the class!" the teacher said with much enthusiasm. Sora just followed what he said and greeted himself with some confidence in his voice. "Hello! My name is Sora." he just said as everyone just stared at him awkwardly. "Uhh...Sora what boy?" The teacher asked as Sora himself looked confused. "It's just Sora...is something the matter?" He asked as the teacher was scratching his head. "Uhh...what's your sir name boy?" He asked politely as Sora now was just scratching his head.

"I don't have a sir name. Is that a requirement?" The moment he said that, the various groups began talking amongst themselves as the teacher was quick to silence them. "Alright then...Sora please take a seat...right behind Miss Nanaya please." Makoto was shocked to hear that as Sora looked at where the teacher pointed his finger as he noticed her. ' That girl i fought before...' Was his thought as he simply nodded his head with a small smile and started walking to his seat. On his way he heard the various groups talk about him but one in particular caught his ear as it was the same three girls before as they said something very disrespectful about him.

"Hehehehe, As expected from someone who comes from the gutter holes of Akitsu-Otsu. He has no sir name." One of them said as he felt his blood boil a little. He will let the comment about him having no sir name slide but if you insulted Otsu you are asking for some serious trouble. Looking at the ground and noticing a can, Sora lightly kicked the can towards the girls as soon as he sat down which was hard enough to cause the girl who made the comment's seat to trip, causing her to fall.

"Are you alright? Did your weight break the seat?" the teacher asked as everyone expect for a few actually laughed at the sight. Embarrassed, the girl picked herself up and placed her seat down before laying her head on the table to hide her embarrassment. Sora secretly smiled as Makoto looked at him secretly. "Nice kick new kid." Makoto whispered as Sora himself was not surprised that she saw it. Beastkin eyes were sharper than humans and can pick up slight movement very well.

"Yeah...thanks..." Sora quietly thanked as the class was beginning. Well so far for Sora his first day has been quite eventful. He was already the talk of the class and soon the school, his outfit was already causing him to get some trouble with people and he has more reasons to figure out why he might hate humans so much. As he looked out of the window for a while, he wondered to himself quietly about his predicament.

'Well...so much for staying under the radar huh Nee-san.' Sora thought as Class officially began for him.

As soon as the day's classes ended and Tsubaki finished roasting Taro about the importance of reading the fine print before doing something as stupid as the stunt he did, Noel, Tsubaki, Hunter and Makoto were walking back to the dorms that all students shared. Well..The girls dorm to be exact. "I am still wondering how the school managed to overlook something as important as student's lounging." Noel thought loudly as the four of them walked into the room they shared. Yes...that's right people, A guy is in a girl's dorm and no it's not him sneaking in. He is officially staying in the girl's dorm as part of a technicality.

"I am also wondering about that too." Hunter simply said as he sat on his bed. The room by itself was big as it had a small couch and table at one side and beds as well to complete it. A small kitchen is present that allowed students to cook if they didn't wish to eat the cafeteria's food on some days and those lucky enough have a bathing area that allowed them to shower in private. The four of them were lucky that their room is one of those said rooms.

"Geez...what a day!" Makoto said to herself as she landed face first onto her bunk bed that she shared with Tsubaki. Everyone agreed with her statement as they then hear the PA system come alive. "Students please proceed to the cafeteria for dinner!" Taro cheerfully said as if the scolding that Tsubaki gave him was almost non existent. Grumbling amongst themselves since they already got into comfortable positions on their beds to even fall asleep, they got off and left for the cafeteria.

"If it wasn't for the fact that it's Taro's cooking I would just lie on the bed without a care in the world." Makoto lazily said as the four of them opened the door to head for the cafeteria. The moment they did so, for a split second they saw something that they would never expect to see. A certain white haired boy with blond tips running in the girl's dorm. Tsubaki was not going to have anymore of his nonsense and stomped her feet to the ground. " NEW STUDENT! GET OVER HERE NOW!" She shouted making Noel, Hunter and Makoto hide at the wall like Scooby Doo.

"Geez Tsubaki! You're scary when you shout." Noel said in her shock as Makoto and Hunter just nodded at what she said. Sora made his way to Tsubaki where she began to interrogate him like he was a criminal. "Why are you running around the girl's dorm? You do know that is an offense right?" She asked as Sora himself looked confused, just like how he was when it came to the uniforms. "It's an offense to be running around the place you have been assigned to?" the moment he said that, the girls and Hunter just had their mouths wide open as Sora himself scratched his head.

"I'm just going to head for my room now...So bye?" He said as he slowly walked before running off again. As Tsubaki gave up on trying to make sense, Noel noticed her distress. "We should head for the cafeteria right now. If we're late we will most likely miss Taro's tasty dumplings!" Noel said as Tsubaki's eyes lit up at the thought of eating some delicious dumplings at the end of a stressful and headache inducing day. "Why not...His dumplings are delicious." Tsubaki said after recomposing herself.

As Noel, Tsubaki and Hunter walked for the cafeteria, Makoto couldn't help but look at the direction that Sora ran for. "Are you interested in that guy?" Hunter asked as Makoto herself flustered up a bit. "I..I just don't know. I mean...he seems like a nice guy and he is the only person so far to match me in a fight." She replied as Hunter shook his head before smiling a little bit. "Then you should try being his friend." he said as he patted her head and rubbed her beastkin ears a little bit before following Noel and Tsubaki.

Looking back at where Sora ran, Makoto couldn't help but place her hand at her chest. "Become...friends with him?" Makoto said to herself quietly as she walked quietly behind the group.

Sora himself was at his door to the room that he stayed all alone, looking at it at little. He muttered only one sentence before opening it.

"I'm Back...Nee-san."
