Infinite Stratos: Taming Kestrel

This is my first Infinite Stratos fanfiction, I've been inspired by many other writers and have always loved writing. I'm new to this Fanfic lark so at least give me some credit if you can. I will do all I can to make sure to improve these chapters piece by piece. My story is a bit like my favorite story I've been reading called 'Young Secrets' by coco6561, but don't worry my story is not a cheap copy, Note to coco6561, please keep it up! I love your story!... My story is also about a little boy but is heavily mature for his age, also has a very traumatic and horrific past about him that shows up to Ichika and his friends, and they become hell bound on healing the poor child's tortured mind and heart.

Also as a side note, I've made some changes to these chapters to help those whom have problems in reading a large amount of text, It should be easier for you readers to read, so anyway... please read away.

Please Note: ( ) - Means Characters thoughts

This story begins over the world famous IS Academy, Japan. Since its foundation, the IS academy - like many others around the world prides itself in being one of the top training centres for IS pilots. The IS is the world famous exo-skeleton that excels and out performs any other weapon on the planet. The main exception of its purpose is that it can only be piloted by women, - or so that was thought, when the world famous Ichika Orimura became the first male to ever pilot the IS. As a result Ichika attends the Japanese all-girls school academy.

As a result of the IS the balance of power has shifted making the world a Matriarchal society. However, for those whom thought a world ruled by girls is better than a world ruled by boys is better, they were dead wrong! As a certain young boy from Israel is about to prove, however with a school filled with girls, the challenges are very clear, one of which is if any girls are Shotacons! The other if the female's mothering instincts occur and all the girls plan on keeping this new 10 year old boy as a pet or child! Any how, on with the story...

- Unknown room with Maya Yamada and Chifuyu Orimura -

A large concrete and steel room appears into view giving a highly advanced futuristic appearance of science fiction, the room is small, isolated and gives one the very idea of being secluded from the world. To say the room is isolated and empty would be untrue.. two adult women occupy the room, both of which are sitting in a pair of black, shinning leather arm chairs, both of which stare in silence at what appears to be a small Iphone like object sitting on a large oak table with the screen facing the ceiling.

As the light improves the faces of both women are revealed to the third person view, the faces of the mighty, beautiful Chifuyu Orimura comes into view with a stern, cold, frosty look as always as she gazes at the Iphone like object on the oak coloured table. The mighty Chifuyu sits arms crossed frowning in silence at the Iphone while the green haired beautiful teacher Maya comes into view sitting up straight in a lady like manner, with her hands placed neatly upon her lap.

The look on Maya's face is a look of worry and concern, the woman looking as though she's dreading seeing her child be sent off to school by his or her 'self' for the first time, a look of terror and panic is in the green haired woman's eyes as the light in the room shines off her frames.

Both Chifuyu and Maya gaze at the Iphone screen in silence as they breath slowly and silently, not a whisper comes from either of the pair as they hear with intent at what comes from the Iphone object. With a brief sound of static coming and crackling from the screen, the sound of a young male's voice comes from the Iphone screen, echoing and ringing through the still silence of the dim lit room - "This is International Radio reporting from the Sinai Pennisula, today Israel's IS forces in co-operation with IDF have successfully routed and pushed back Phantom Task terrorists at the Sinai Israeli boarder..".

As another sound of static resounds and crackles through the air, the mighty Chifuyu Orimura sitting with cool and collected expression in her office chair, does not make a single whisper but shows her life's existence by occasionally blinking, the woman listening with intent at the radio broadcaster's announcements. Maya Yamada sits across from Chifuyu with a more concerned look on her face, a bead of sweat escaping the right side of her temple, yet stilling listening with full intent at the broadcast. In dead silence both women listen to what comes next, the young male's voice breaks the silence again -

"IS pilots along with IDF soldiers have discovered the mutilated corpses of over 700 men, women and children, taken prisoner, then fiendishly executed by their Phantom task captors... investigating officers at the nightmare scene, say that the massive, murderous, massacre occurred in the early hours of yesterday morning between 1 and 2am. The details of the massacre remain either unknown or confidential as of this moment. What we have been told is that International leaders and Coalition forces have vowed one thing... any IS pilot or accomplish with connections, or responsible for this unspeakable act... will be vigorously tried for crimes against humanity, and swiftly punished. This..is International radio news broadcasting, live.. from the middle east... Israel".

Chifuyu.. in dead silence finally moves herself, the mighty head mistress leaning forward and carefully picking up the Iphone and clicking the device off with her right thumb. The mighty headmistress Chifuyu then crosses her legs and carefully places the Iphone device away in her pocket, the woman letting out a sigh. Then placing her hands into a praying position and then places them silently in front of her face.. just below her chin, she lets out a frustrated sigh.

As Chifuyu speaks the word 'Concerned' is an understatement to the feeling in her voice as she looks Maya in the eyes and speaks to the green haired female, Chifuyu speaks with a hint of stress and - strangely - sadness, sure Chifuyu could be known as the Ice queen, a woman whom could hide her emotions very well, but even then... even an Ice queen must have standards.- "Well Maya... This is most...distressing".

"Isn't that horrible?, whom could do a thing like that?" - Maya softly speaks with an honest tone of sorrow and pity, the woman shaking her head and closing her eyes as if trying not to become emotional.

"Hmm, and I suppose you know what we have coming our way?" - Chifuyu continues in a stern tone, slowly pushing her chair back away from the table and standing to her feet, the woman carefully brushing her black stocking of some lose dust. Maya in an official manner replies immediately while standing up herself, the green haired teacher revealing a clipboard strapped to her hip.

"Yes Orimura... I have it here" - Maya confirms with a flat and honest tone, the green haired woman looking at the clipboard with a flat and serious look in her eyes. As the teacher looks down at the clipboard in her hands, the woman speaks again in a casual and cheerful manner - "They didn't include it in the news, but i guess that might be a good thing".

"Can't argue with that, and according to reports our new student has some connections with the incident that has just been on the news" - Chifuyu responds in a cold and clear tone, the woman frowning at the clipboard in Maya's hands, the woman breathing in a sickly yet strong manner.

Maya speaks again, the woman placing the clipboard close to her chest and trying not to shudder at the many different thoughts racing through her mind - "And is no doubt a subject best settled under terms of absolute secrecy".

As Maya glups in a nervous and sickly manner, the woman shudders a little and then.. lifting her head to look at Chifuyu, the green haired teacher speaks in a worried and nervous manner, the look on her face a perfect match - "You... don't think its best we inform the students of the academy about whom is joining?".

Chifuyu in turn frowns in a stern manner, mimics with her hand.. telling Maya to follow her, and together.. both women walk towards the metallic room door. Chifuyu pauses, turns round to look at Maya in the face before continuing, the woman looking Maya in the face and speaking in a highly stern and characteristic manner -

"As for informing our students about whom is joining us, the answer is absolutely not. With whats happened on the radio, the last thing we want is for a scandal or panic to occur, and besides we've already agreed with the Israeli government to not let even the slightest bit of information leak out into the open, the chances of another incident befalling us since the Silver Gospel is to real, and above all absolutely dangerous. When our new student arrives, act normally, besides the sight of so many beauties around may even make the poor brat forget about what he's experienced these last few hours".

Chifuyu practically smiles at her last verse of phrase though.. the woman then turns round, and with a motion of the head gives the signal for Maya to follow and together she a Maya leave the room and walk down a white, cool corridor. Their foot steps echo through the air as a mixed aura befalls the atmosphere.

- Scene change: 2 days later - IS Academy classroom -

The IS academy classroom, filled with happy gossip, female voices from multiple nations, with slangs and rough accents in Japanese being exchanged left to right and right to left, the centre of the classroom being Ichika Orimura surrounded by his friends, the all well known Brunette Japanese girl Lingyin, the Short blonde, pony tailed Charlotte, the long silver haired, eye patched Laura, the brunette pigtailed Huang and finally the long blonde, hair curled Cecilia.

All of which doing their party piece in attempting to gain the most attention from Ichika or trying to out perform one another, mainly to no avail due to Ichika being the good hearted, yet dense person he his. Lingyin eventually gaining the most attention by slamming her hands down on Ichika's desk and pointing aggressively at Laura. The look in the girl's eyes being full of rage, malice and hatred as the snarls in a furious and explosive tone - "SO TELL ME ICHIKA! WHAT WAS LAURA DOING IN YOUR BED THIS MORNING!?"

Ichika holds his hands up in defence whilst attempting to contain his nerves, which isn't going very well, what - with Lingyin, Houki and Cecilia's heavily annoyed looks. The black bushy haired Ichika trying not to stutter but it's obvious it's not going very well, the black haired male trying not to cringe or panic in alarm at the moment. Since Laura declared that Ichika was going to be her husband, her approaches on him wasn't held back or exaggerated, but unfortunately the other girls didn't in the slightest bit feel amused, or supporting of the idea, except for Laura of course.

"What is so strange about a husband and wife sleep together in the same bedroom?" - Laura protests in confidence, with a hint of pride, the silver haired female placing both hands behind her back and sending down a carnivorous grin toward Ichika, the female trying not to blush in a girly manner as she gazes in a love struck manner toward Ichika.

"You keep quiet about this Bodewig!" - Cecilia shouts out toward Laura in furious and annoyed manner, the female trying not to summon Blue Tears and start spilling blood and organs, her fists clenched together give the game away that she's mad.. VERY.. mad.

"Tell us Ichika, What were you two doing this morning!?" - Charlotte asks with a pleasant but very menacing smile, twitching, obviously struggling to keep her composure. That look that Charlotte gives can best be described as a lethal Yandere look, but then again.. it's highly unlikely that Charlotte could turn Yandere. The blonde seems to hammer a bolt of ice through Ichika's heart as she she looks toward Ichika with her mixed expression.

"I keep telling you nothing happened this morning!" - Ichika desperately protests waving his hands in front of his face. The black bushy haired Ichika feeling his bladder starting to give way and feeling the urge to run away screaming, for all Ichika is used to the girls behaving around him in a 'weird' manner, the male still can't handle being a target.. the male knows that one of these days he should START learning to handle these matters.. and he knows it ALL too well.

Many of the other female students either smile or ignore at the sight playing before, them, however not one of the girls in the room can blame the sight before them. Ichika showing his skills with an IS as well as his honesty and kindness is obviously going to attract a lot of female attention. However most of the other girls believe deep down it is just sexual tension for not being around the male gender for a while, please remember that being in an academy when you are straight, is bound to get boring after just seeing only your own gender day in and day out.

"I also have taken the opportunity to think of names for our future children my dearest wife" - Laura continues smiling proudly with her nose slightly up in the air. However the effect of Laura's happiness does nothing except fuel the fire for Ichika's possible approaching death. Ichika's eyes widen in shock and his heart nearly explodes in terror as Laura speaks her words, as expected the reaction from the girls around him is NOT a pleasant one.. the females all seem to detonate in their own respective ways.

"Child...Child, so you two have been considering children have you!?" - Lingyin menacingly speaks out with a pleasant tone. Partially summoning her IS, so that only the left arm appears, the fist is clenched. The female thankfully not summoning one of her weapons with which to strike Ichika down. The black haired Ichika with tears of terror now forming in his eyes shudders in panic as he clenches his teeth in a terrified manner.

"NO! NO! NO!, I haven't done anything! Char, you know me, I wouldn't do anything like that!" - Ichika desperately speaks out hoping that his closest female friend may be able to aid in his current situation. Sadly for Ichika.. the move is in vain as the male seems to add more fuel to the fire, the male now wishing he'd kept his damn mouth shut.

"Don't change the subject Ichika, start talking" - Charlotte hisses out, whilst summoning her own personal IS, the blonde summoning the left arm and fist and opening and closing her hands as if she wants to crush the male's lower parts. The male clamps his legs tightly together as he looks at Charlotte opening and closing her hand as if gesturing that she's going to feminize him.

"Ichika! Tell me you haven't been doing things like that with her!" - Cecilia practically'' screams whilst partially summoning her own IS, the blonde summoning a laser from Blue Tears, aiming directly at Ichika's face, a faint glow appearing down the barrel of an arrow blaster unit, the male's screaming nerves seem to explode and detonate.. the black bushy haired Ichika with tears rolling down his face finally seems to snap in panic.

"LOOK IM TELLING YOU ALL, NOTHING HAPPEND!" - Ichika screams out in fear, some classmates looking nervous but keeping their distance at the sight before them, many students taking cover or leaving the room in fear at what could happen, however many students suddenly appear back in the classroom due to a certain classmate getting their attention.

"HEY everyone look at the newspaper!" - A female voice is heard call out a'loud in a clear and excited like manner, all the females around Ichika break their attention off Ichika and turn to look in the direction of which the voice has come from.. Ichika's life being saved by the newspaper club president.

Laura, Cecilia, Charlotte, Lingyin and Houki snapping from their current 'Discussion' with Ichika and instead focusing on Kaoruko Mayuzumi, whom happens to slam at least a few dozen copies of the same newspaper down on a desk just behind Ichika's. Ichika practically letting out a huge sigh of relief at the tension leaving his presence, the male looking at the ceiling and making a Christian cross gesture with his hands in relief, the male also brushing some terror stricken tears away from his eyes.

"Look at the news!" - Kaoruko yelps out in flat and alarmed like manner, the female pushing her glasses back to the bridge of her nose, her face looking partially excited yet shocked. The female having no idea that she just saved Ichika's bacon. The look on Ichika's face says it all as the females around Ichika deactivate their IS unit parts in flashes of blue light.

The black haired Ichika chooses to remain at his desk and regain some composure as the females all gather around Kaoruko. The amount of females that appear around the said female look like a mass crowd within a matter of seconds as everyone looks at the newspapers with amazement and shock. One of the students.. the iconic long sleeved female going by the name of Honne Nohotoke is the first to speak.

The long sleeved female grasping a newspaper and looking at the text with shock and bewilderment in her eyes, the female being joined by some of her lady friends, the female yelping out three words as she looks at the paper before her - "Oh my gosh!"

"People murdered by IS pilots?" - A long green haired girl speaks out in an alarmed manner, the female shaking her head in disbelief at the words she is reading. Another girl joins in the moment by pointing at the text on another newspaper, the female having short orange hair reaching the shoulders, her voice is also laced with worry and shock as she looks at the paper before her - "Phantom task terrorists being responsible?"

"Israel? 700 confirmed dead?" - Another brunette girl with glasses and pigtails stutters, the female holding her hands together in panic as if watching her beloved at a football game get his nose broken by an accident blow to the face. Trying to get a good look at the sight before her, the next to speak is Charlotte, the blonde shaking her head and shrugging her shoulders as she speaks out the words - "What's all this?"

"At least 700 people have been slaughtered in Israel by IS pilots". - Kaoruko informs the blonde french girl with a hint of authority and a touch of shaken voice. Charlotte who blinks in silence mimics with her hand and immediately, Cecilia, Houki, Lingyin get in closer to Honne. Ichika remains seated, far too relieved that the ordeal is over and not very interested in any old news paper... which is no surprise.

"How did you get your hands on these? I thought Orimura sensei forbade such newspapers on the academy grounds" - A girl with short dark blue hair asks with interest, Kaoruko merely smiling with pride, or smugness ' what ever you want to call it ', taps the side of her nose with her index finger. The female raising her eyebrows in a cocky and amused manner as she speaks out the words - "Oh c'mon, you know that's all confidential, if i was to tell you how I got my hands on newspapers like this it wouldn't be a surprise now would it".

"Actually, I think Orimura sensei made it clear that this type of news was only forbade to certain classrooms because of age being a concern" - A girl with pink hair in a short pony tail speaks out. The female seemingly trying to probe Kaoruko for answers.. which of course are not going to be answered.

( "What are they all talking about?" ) - Ichika thinks to himself, finally managing to stand up. Breathing another sigh of relief as he stands to his feet.. Ichika finally manages to walk over to the large horde of schoolgirls, each with a newspaper in hand, gossiping and whispering to each other.

Almost too terrified to speak in case it sets off the continuation of the discussion, the male speaks in a curious and nervous manner - "Is everything alright? Whats going on?"

"Ichika, look at this" - Charlotte speaks out, the female handing the black haired male a newspaper, Ichika wastes no time and takes a newspaper from the blonde, what he sees sends terrible sense of dread down to his gut. The feeling is like eating something exceptionally foul and now the food is repeating on the stomach. The male unable to speak as he looks with alarm at the words that play out before him.

"Th..This confirmed is it?" - Cecilia stutters with a lot of shock and concern, the blonde trying not to shudder and feel a chill at the text news before her eyes, as the conversation becomes more and more intense.. the class bell brings the group from out of their moment.

Upon hearing the resounding loud 'dring' of the bell that rings and echoes throughout the halls and classrooms.. some students scramble to their desks, putting away their newspaper copies in their desks, others hiding their papers in schoolbags. Ichika smiling a little in relief as he walks over toward his desk, the male now being saved by the bell. Before taking her seat however... Houki shoots Ichika and dangerous look along the lines of 'Don't think this is over'.

Ichika cringes at the image, but amazingly manages to maintain a cool and collected image, the male shaking his head before lowering it as if to say 'why me?', the male wishing that he could share the ordeal with another male, not exactly a familiar face but at least someone to hold onto for suppoert.

To be looking out of character when class is about to start is the last thing Ichika wants this morning, if he can salvage any form of normality since the disastrous incident this morning, he will be hell bound on making that normality 100% possible. Besides, the last time Ichika spaced out due to personal problems, he earned himself a book in the back of the head from his big sister Chifuyu. Definitely not in the mood for feeling pain, he looks towards the school black board, sits up strait, shakes off any feeling of fear, and prepares himself for the day's lessons.

Maya Yamada walking into the classroom with a pleasant smile upon her face, coming to a stop behind a desk, The green haired teacher happy to see that everyone is on the ball this morning and not being slow to get to their places, Maya smiles brightly and greets her class of students. - "Good morning everyone, I hope yesterday was pleasant, and today its back to routine business".

Maya continues by placing a large set of books down upon her desk, as she looks forward she gets a glance of a newspaper on non-other than Honne's desk. Smiling in a pleasant and awkward manner, the green haired teacher looks toward Honne with a timid yet clear and casual look on her face, her vocal tone is a perfect match - "Nohotoke, can you please put away your belongings?"

Honne looks down with confusion before making a quick yelp, before scrambling to put away the newspaper, some students looking anxious while others snicker and giggle at the sight. Maya smiles and makes a slow nod as Honne hastily puts away the newspaper in a schoolbag, the female looking back at Maya with a look that says 'hee-hee my bad'.

"Anyway... before starting today, I want to make 3 very clear announcements, firstly.. I'm sure you've all heard the news, and may have gotten your hands on a copy of this newspaper" - Maya speaks out in a casual yet slightly serious manner, the green haired teacher taking a spare copy of the academy newspaper from round the back of her personal desk as she speaks.

As Maya holds up the exact same newspaper as the one issued to all students in the classroom, some students immediately go cold, some go still and others get curious. However Maya defuses the feeling with a calm and pleasant face and vocal tone, the teacher raising a hand to reassure everyone as as she speaks out the words - "Don't worry, no one is in trouble. In fact it was just decided that newspapers not related to this academy can now be permitted".

Many students let out a sigh of relief, Maya struggling not to titter before continuing, as the teacher places the newspaper back behind her own teacher's desk, the woman stands straight in a lady like manner and speaks out the words in a pleasant tone -

"Secondly, I'm sure everyone is concerned about the news headlines, but... there's no cause for alarm. Please remember we are an academy that is highly protected and is securely in the care of the national government's armed forces. Also please remember that we have a trained force of IS pilots whom can work in co-operation with our self defence forces, I would only ask everyone that for the time being, does not go anywhere alone ever, and ask people not to stray too far from the academy grounds unless given expressed permission from Orimura sensei."

Students cast concerned and curious looks at one another, Ichika being one of them, making a glance to the right, but quickly looks away after looking to the left. Houki looking at Ichika with a great deal of anger and irritation, Ichika smiling nervously before turning his head away slowly. As Ichika looks away the male speaks in a terrified and sickly tone to himself in his mind, the male rolling his eyes and lowering his head as his mind screams out the words - ( "Oh man, why did this have to happen? Is that anyway to treat a childhood friend!? Not listening to a friend's side of the story is hardly a fair trial I ask ya!" ).

Thankfully for Ichika his state of mind is about to be saved for a second time today, the black bushy haired male lifting his head as Maya with an overjoyed and cheerful look on her face speaks in an excited and overjoyed tone - "And thirdly... we have a new student joining us today".

Some students immediately smile at each other with excitement and joy, the females of which all eager to see who it is that has come to join the whacky IS academy and what her skills could be with the IS unit. Ichika for one has a curious and amazed expression, the male shudders and blinks in silence, the male says nothing but the look in his eyes goes along the lines of amazement and curiosity. His mind is a perfect match as he thinks in a highly curious manner to himself - ( "Wow, a new student I wonder who's come out to play with us this time.. 'Wonder what type of person she is" )

"Please I want everyone to welcome our new student and make him feel welcome" - Maya continues motioning her arm towards the open classroom door, the green haired teacher housing an overjoyed and cheerful smile on her face as she turns her head to look at the entrance to the classroom... however... nobody makes an appearance, the smile on Maya's face remains but it's clear as day that somebody is in the hallway.

In dead silence, the female students all sit up straight, many of which blink in silence and look toward the entrance to the classroom, nobody is making an appearance. Only now does confusion and disbelief set in, the first to pick this up is Houki. The dark haired female now replaying Maya's words in her head and a look of shock and amazement appears on her face as she thinks to herself - ( "Wait a minute... did she just say.. 'make HIM feel welcome?" ).

Raising an arm in alarm and amazement, a girl with short black hair looks Maya in the face and with an amazed and excited look in her eyes, the female speaks in a loud and clear tone - "Yamada sensei! Did you just say HIM!?".

"Now, Now, lets calm down everyone, heh-heh" - Maya nervously laughs in a pleasant character like manner, the teacher lowering her arm and trying to summon the new student with a pleasant gesture of the hand. Some of the girls in the group begin to turn their heads to look at each other with highly excited looks on their faces, others look at each other with stunned expressions, others have anxious looks on their faces as a mass of whispers and mutterings begin to rise in the air.

Ichika on the other hand has a small but very calm smile on his face, the black haired male's heart beating in joy at the idea of speaking to another boy for the first time in MANY months. Maybe today would bring some good fortune after all.. being the only male at an all girls school could be very, very lonely sure he had plenty of female friends, but even then all males need the occasional man to man talk every once in a while.

"Please step this way" - Maya speaks out looking towards the door, smiling.. with an arm out stretched. The teacher bobbing her head in a single nod as if to say 'it's alright you can come through'. A few seconds pass and again.. nothing happens. Nobody makes an appearance.. lowering her head as if trying to entice a timid animal forward for a first hand contact meal. The green haired Maya speaks again, the female speaking out in a warm and soft manner - "Please... its okay come this way"

This time a small foot appears in the door way, some students stretch and strain to see whom it is trying to enter the doorway, not a sound comes from any of the females in the classroom as the room goes silent. Maya looks the unseen stranger in the face.. the female carefully kneels down on the floor with a bent knee. She then smiles very sweetly and maintains a happy image, she nods slowly and like attracting a cat forward with her hands.. makes very silent, tiny claps. The teacher speaking in a sweet, warm and pleasant tone - "Come on, its alright".

Then.. in dead silence, with a few foot steps echoing through the classroom.. a small person walks through the door, all students going silent as the grave at the sight before them. The person keeps their head down, the uniform this small person is wearing... is very, very similar to the uniform Charlotte was wearing when she first entered the academy disguised as a boy. The small person has white skin and looks of European heritage, giving the game away that the youngster is a WHITE MALE.

This small person looks down upon the ground, walking very quietly and slowly. Trying to keep their head averted so that all the girls can't see their face, as if trying to slip past everyone un-noticed. Eventually coming to a stop in front of Maya.. the youngster is revealed to have pure.. long, black shinning hair that cascades down their back like a beautiful, elegant waterfall. The youngster is clearly a mix of terror as the infant is seen lifting their small head up to look at Maya.

The green haired Maya still down on her knee carefully places a hand on the youngster's shoulder, the woman smiling warmly and sending over a best friend loving mother look toward the youngster. The woman then turning her head as if gesturing for the infant to look at the class room, the tone of her voice is a perfect match as she speaks in a soft love filled tone - "Its alright, look... everyone is happy to see you".

The youngster then turns to face the classroom.. what everyone sees is a sight. The youngster is indeed a 'boy', though very young and not yet in his teens. The youngster has pure ocean blue eyes, faint black eyebrows, topped with his pitch black, long hair that cascades down his back like the anime character Saki from Area 88. A silver gleaming Star of David pendant hangs around the young boys neck that shines with beauty in the light. The most standing out feature on this boy is a pure blood red scar, obviously still fresh... running from under his right eye in straight line all the way to his right ear lobe.

"Go on, its alright introduce yourself" - Maya speaks kindly, rubbing the young boy's back. The look from the young boy is a mix of terror, sickness and trauma in his eyes as if he's seen a mass murder and slaughter of untold scale before him. The youngster's face is pure white, for all the young boy has white skin the male looks like he's about to turn into a ghost.

Looking at the many open eyes and open mouths in surprise that are directed toward him.. the scar faced youngster blinks in silence and lowers his head. The male as if trying not to start crying in distress simply closes his eyes, looks at the floor and shakes his head in silence. Not a whisper comes from the said infant.

Maya smiles awkwardly but kindly, before clearing her throat.. the teacher then stands to her feet and keeps her hand placed upon the young boy's shoulder. The teacher then looking at her many girl students then speaks in a cheerful and and casual manner - "Ahem... This young boy is from Israel, he doesn't speak much Japanese, and has only just been discovered to able to pilot an IS. He is new here so everything is very alien to him, so if you all would... make him feel as comfortable as possible".

As Maya stands straight in a lady like manner, she looks down at the young boy and towards the class whom many are whispering to each other and looking with amazement at the child in front of them. The green haired teacher then speaks again, the woman then speaking in a casual and caring manner as she begins to explain more details on the young boy before her army of girls - "He's only ten years old and he's new to Japan, he can't speak much Japanese.. if any at all so if he doesn't speak to you then it's because he's not able to understand what is being said".

The teacher then lowers her head and with a nervous and concerned smile on her face, the green haired teacher looks at the sickly white looking youngster with a concerned expression and in a pleasant tone speaks out the words - "Would you like to say your name?"

A matter of seconds go by as the scar faced youngster blinks in silence and with a look of alarm in his eyes, the scar faced youngster begins to attempt to speak.. the infant whispering the letter K a'loud. The scar faced young boy then reaches up to grasp his star of David, the infant in a terrified manner speaks out four words in sickly worried manner - "M.. M.. My... n.. name.. is.. K.. K.. Kestrel".

"Sorry?" - A girl with a pair of long purple pigtails asks in a curious manner, unable to hear what it was that the scar faced boy just said. Nobody catching what he just said as he was speaking in just a whisper. Maya with a worried an nervous look on her face is about to speak to the infant when the youngster speaks again.. this time.. in broken yet very clear tone.

The young boy's voice is sweet, timid, tomboyish in a manner of speaking.. yet one can easily make out the voice is clearly a boy's. The scar faced infant speaking in a nervous and scared manner - "My name is Kestrel".

For a few tense minutes the entire classroom is silent, so silent.. you can hear a pin drop. Then without warning.. clapping comes from a green haired girl sitting at the front of the class, soon enough the entire classroom joins the clapping, Ichika casting a very loving smile to the young boy whom catches it for a brief moment. The black haired Ichika clapping in a proud wonderful big bro manner, even going so far as to raise the thumbs up in a supporting manner.

The young boy who now is revealed as being called 'Kestrel' glances away and looks down again at the floor, some girls then let out loving squeals and tenderly loving waves at the youngster. Not that it causes any reaction as the infant looks down at the ground with a half tranced expression. Becoming nervous and alarmed the infant slowly takes baby steps backwards until he bumps into the front of Maya.

Maya puts a hand reassuringly on Kestrel's shoulder, the green haired teacher then speaking to her class again in a supporting manner. Kestrel does not look up as Maya speaks but the look on his face goes along the lines that he is indeed calming down, even if it is in a timid and silent manner. Despite it taking two minutes to calm down all the girls that wave, clap and say hello to the scar faced new comer.. the woman manages to quieten down the entire class.

The teacher speaking in a pleasant and welcome manner, the woman raising her hands as she speaks out the words - "All right.. all right everyone. That's enough.. settle down, settle down".

"Yamada sensei, can that kid really pilot an IS!?" - A girl with long orange hair speaks out in a highly excited and overjoyed manner, the female not taking her eyes off the new boy for a single second. Another girl with long light blue hair joins in the moment by looking at the scar faced youngster in the face and speaking out the words - "Yamada sensei, is that really his name!?"

"Yamada sensei is he ours to keep!?" - A girl with a large brunette side ponytail speaks out in an overjoyed and excited tone, the female herself not taking her eyes of the scar faced boy before her. Within a matter of seconds questions explode and begin flying from nearly every girl in the classroom with the exception of Houki.. who remains in utter shock at the little one standing timid in front of her.

Ichika also remains quiet, but happily remains smiling. The black haired male just happy that at least he's got a person to speak to, while not so much as what he had expected, the male is just happy that at least he can have some guy to guy talk.

"All right ladies, calm down! Please remember that Kestrel is here to learn IS, he's new to Japan and it's really frightening for a boy like him so calm down. Remember that he's here to learn, he's not a pet. Yes.. Kestrel is his real name, he's not got any surname nor middle name.. just.. Kestrel. That's all we know - Maya calls out in a cheerful and pleasant tone, the teacher speaking in a pleasant best friend manner while looking her students in the face.

"Hey is that your real name... Kestrel?" - Honne calls out in a slightly joke full tone, the response from the scar faced infant is silence, the scar faced ace blinking in silence and tilting his small head to the left like a confused animal. A girl with short red hair is next to speak, the female sitting up straight and waves to the infant in a cheerful manner while speaking the words - "Can you speak Japanese as well as Israeli?".

"Kestrel? That's gotta be a false name" - A girl with long black hair puts in with a mocking smile on her face. The next to speak is girl with a pale blue pigtails that run down her back, the female waving in an overjoyed and chirpy manner. The look on her face resembles a person who is worried yet excited at the same time, the female speaking out the words - "Can you understand me!?".

"That's an embarrassing name to be given" - A brunette girl with pigtails comments in a cheerful and amused manner, the female looking to a friend and shaking her head as she speaks. Houki for one merely frowns in a curious and concerned manner, the female placing a hand under her chin as she blinks in silence and looks at the scar faced boy with a stern frown. The female's mind speaking in a confused and curious manner - ("Kestrel? Okay.. not a name you'd expect but.. who'd have a name like that?)

"All right you lot... Kestrel is new here, don't start with questions so quickly. Remember all can be revealed after lessons" - Maya calls out with playful tone, the teacher quickly reminding everyone that for all the moment is pleasant, there's still the day's lessons to do. Regardless.. it hardly seems to quell everyone's playful reactions, the scar faced Kestrel hardly reacting now.. he's not a worried and nervous wreck now but seems to have become... still, as if he's trying to work everyone out.

With a smile and careful hand, Maya points to an empty seat at the back of the class.. the teacher kneeling down next to Kestrel's head level and carefully speaks out in a cheerful and care filled manner - "Your seat is over there at the back of the class, just try to keep up with us as best you can alright?".

Kestrel turns his head.. looks Maya in the eyes for a few moments, blinks.. looks ahead of him and slowly walks forward. As the young scar faced Kestrel walks down to his desk he glances a look at Ichika, whom nods slightly and smiles. Kestrel slightly tilts his head before looking ahead of him again, the infant seemingly exchanging some eye contact messages with Ichika.

As Kestrel walks forward, the infant ignores the mass amounts of whispers and stares that are shot his way. As Kestrel walks toward his desk the scar faced pays no heed to the cheerful greeting from Honne that waves in a cheerful manner toward him, the scar faced ace does not even turn his head as he walks past Honne. The reaction from Honne is a greeting slowed down and causing her smile to drop - "Hello Kestrel, I'm Honne!.."

As Kestrel walks past the said female the look on her face becomes concerned and worried as she speaks in a worried and nervous manner as the scar faced boy walks past her - "Its..very...nice...to...meet...you".

As Kestrel makes it to his seat, and immediately begins looking at the classroom board ahead of him with a neutral look of emotionlessness on his face. Only occasional blinking showing his living existence, some of the schoolgirl's gazes not leaving him for a single moment. The youngster paying no heed to the amount of whispers and stares that are still shot his way. The infant not making a whisper as Maya sends one final smile his way and beginning the day's class.
