"Ow ow ow." Ritsuka shakes his head as he pushes the door away from his body revealing a blue-haired person in a second year's outfit currently out of it. "Aah! Are you alright?"
"Oh? Chulainn died again. 10th time this school year. Head nurse is going to be sad that her healing efforts are being destroyed so easily." A tanned teen with white hair sticks his head out of the classroom before turning around and dodging a table being thrown at the general direction, barely missing Ritsuka as it crashes through a window. "Jeez. They're at it again."
"W-What the heck is going on?!" Ritsuka exclaims as he looks back to see two girls facing off against each other.
One of them was a pale skinned, blond girl fighting standing across from a white-blond girl with a pale complexion. Both had on school uniforms as an air of tension could be felt throughout the air. The students in the classroom were either terrified, apathetic, or annoyed while Ritsuka was part of the terrified category. The white-haired boy from before walks outside to get the school nurse when he sees Ritsuka freaked out.
"Hmm… Hey. Are you ok?" The guy extends his arm which Ritsuka gratefully takes and is pulled up. "Did you get hit by the door? Luckily you weren't crushed like Chulainn was."
"Yeah… Thanks. Who are those two?" Ritsuka asks pointing to the two girls staring at each other, the other guy looks over his shoulder.
"You don't know them? They're the most infamous servants here in Chaldea Academy. Artoria Alter, the altered form of the King of Knights and Jeanne Alter, the altered form of the Maiden of New Orleans. Both of them class almost on a daily basis." The male looks at Ritsuka. "Say you don't look familiar… You're the transfer student for the master's program."
"T-That's right. I'm Ritsuka Fujimaru." Ritsuka said taking a deep breath, calming himself down a bit.
"Shirou Emiya," Shirou said before tossing the door away and picks up the blue-haired male named Chulainn. "I'm going to take him to the nurse's office. If Da Vinci Sensei asks for me, tell her where I'm at."
"S-Sure." Ritsuka watches as Shirou takes Chulainn down the hall before hesitantly walking into the classroom letting out a nervous gulp as the two girls look away from each other and stare at Ritsuka who freezes himself before steeling himself. "N-Nice to meet you."
Everyone was genuinely shocked at what Ritsuka was doing and the two Alters were definitely the most confused out of everyone in the classroom.
"Hmm. What's this? It's unusual for someone to walk up towards us. Almost everyone avoids us." Artoria Alter said looking at Ritsuka. "You look new. Perhaps that's why you haven't heard of us."
"You're the transfer student? That means you're the one in the master's program. Sad that Chaldea got a stupid looking weakling." Jeanne Alter comments with a scoff. "So… What does a master want with us?"
"Do you intend to interfere in our duel?" Artoria Alter asks as the two gives off a terrifying feeling to Ritsuka who just bows formally.
"Nothing of the sort! I just wish that since I'm going to be in your classroom, then I wish for us to become friends! I'm Ritsuka Fujimaru!" Everyone was indeed shocked at the events just transpired.
"W-What did you just say?!" Jeanne Alter exclaims taking a step back.
"I… did not see this coming." Artoria Alter tried to keep her composure after what has transpired and the same was going for Jeanne Alter.
"This guy is insane." A short purple-haired servant said in shock.
"That is ok, right?" Ritsuka asks looking up to see both girls being completely flustered.
"If you just want to be friends, then fine, whatever." Jeanne Alter said first which made everyone shocked.
"Ver well. If you think me qualified, then I shall be your friend." Artoria Alter said afterward which made the crowd even more shocked and terrified.
"That's great to hear," Ritsuka said now fully calm and had a smile on his face.
"WHAT?!"

Chapter 2: Friends
"Would you please introduce yourself to the class? Though it seems as you already made a huge first impression to everyone today." Da Vinci said as Ritsuka writes his name on the board before turning around.
"I'm Ritsuka Fujimaru, a second-year in the master's program. I'm new to the area with my little sister so I hope we get along." Ritsuka bows politely. The whole class was recovering from what just happened 10 minutes ago with Artoria Alter and Jeanne Alter staring at Ritsuka with interest.
"Good. Now you can sit next to… Marie Antoinette. Please raise your hand." Da Vinci calls out as the girl near the window raised her hand. "Over there Ritsuka."
"Thank you," Ritsuka said walking over to see a beautiful girl with white-blond hair and a small red hat along with her normal school outfit and sits at the empty desk next to her. The girl showed some interest but tried to keep it to herself until later.
The school bells ring, signaling the end of the second period and the start of recess. Ritsuka takes a sigh and quickly goes over his notes for his previous two classes, History and Math. He feels people staring at him as he looks around before someone walks over to him, to see the girl that was sitting next to him, Marie Antoinette was standing next to his desk.
"Hello. You're Ritsuka Fujimaru, the one who signed up for the master's program." Marie asks with a smile.
"Yes. You're… Marie Antoinette, right?" Ritsuka said recalling her name as she nods. "Can I ask a question?"
"Sure What is it?" Marie asks.
"It has to do with everyone. They all have been staring at me ever since I became friends with Artoria Alter and Jeanne Alter. Did I do something wrong?" Ritsuka asks looking around.
"The two are just really hard to talk to for everyone. It's amazing that you just went up to them and started to chat!" Marie smiles brightly at Ritsuka.
"Well if we're going to be in the same classroom, then why not? What about you Marie?" Ritsuka asks standing up.
"Of course. It'll be nice to have you as a friend!"
"Sounds like you've been busy." Ritsuka looks to the right to see Shirou sitting relaxed in his desk. "I've heard the rumors. Got to say. I would never have expected that coming from you."
"Shirou. Is the guy you carried to the nurse alright?" Ritsuka asks receiving a nod. "Thank goodness."
"You don't have to be worried. Chulainn dies so often that it's a schoolwide joke. He's best friends with Head Nurse at this point." Shirou laughs out loud while Ritsuka couldn't help but feel bad for the guy.
"Ritsuka." The boy heard his name to see Artoria Alter standing surprisingly close to him. "I'm bored. I'm hungry. Let's go to the store real quick. It's right across the street."
"Oi! What do you think you're doing with my friend, ice bitch queen?" Jeanne Alter trying to inch her way between Artoria Alter and Ritsuka. "The master's my friend, so hands off!"
"Ridiculous. Ritsuka is my friend. You should be the one to back off, mad dog." Artoria Alter said as the energy between the two was starting to rise.
"Now now. The two of you don't have to fight. Why don't you guys shake hands and be friends? I don't see a reason that we all can't be friends." Ritsuka said as both Artoria Alter and Jeanne Alter look at Ritsuka before looking at each other.
"I don't see why not. As long mad dog doesn't annoy me as much as before, I do not see the problem in putting our differences aside." Artoria Alter said finally after a few moments. She extends her hand out to Jeanne Alter.
"I'm the annoying one?! Speak for yourself! But... if you say so, then I have no choice." Jeanne Alter takes Artoria Alter's hand and shakes it. "Starting over with you isn't the worst thing in the world."
"I'm glad to see you two are friends," Ritsuka said with a smile before turning to Marie and Shirou. "Are you ok with that?"
"Being their friends? Of course. I hope we're friends for a long time!" Marie smiles at the two alters.
"I see no problem as they're no longer making a mess of the whole school. Some of the students here can actually rest." Shirou responded. "After a while. The other servants will eventually warm up to you two after a while."
"What? Do people got a problem with us?" Jeanne Alter asks, demanding an answer from Shirou.
"Well, you two did clash causing a huge amount of destruction that could've killed anyone, human or student. Plus the auras that you two give off. I would be surprised that anyone wasn't terrified…" Shirou looks over at Ritsuka and Marie. "Never mind."
"In any case. Ritsuka. Let's go." Artoria Alter takes Ritsuka's arm and drags him through the doors, running through the halls. She lets Ritsuka go once she feels that he is starting to run properly.
"You know, I don't have all that much money on me. Are you sure about that?" Ritsuka asks as Artoria Alter shakes her head.
"Don't worry about it." Artoria Alter looks ahead before looking around. "Vice President Martha…"
"Hey! Artoria! No running in the halls!" Martha points at Artoria Alter and Ritsuka. Artoria Alter stops to look at her phone opening the window in the hall, grabs Ritsuka, and jumps out. "No jumping outside the windows!"
(BTW. This is the second floor.)
"Aah! Artoria?!" Ritsuka exclaims as the two land safely.
"You're alright, Ritsuka?" Artoria Alter asks receiving a nod from Ritsuka. "Let's hurry. We don't have much time.
"R-Right."
One minute before the bell ringing, ending recess, Artoria Alter and Ritsuka come back into the classroom with cartoonishly large amount of Yakisoba and Melon bread. Artoria Alter and Ritsuka hands out one for everyone. They were hesitant when Artoria Alter gave them bread but kinda warmed up to her and Ritsuka after a bit.
"This is great and all, Ritsuka. But-" Before Shirou could finish, the bell rang. "Yeah, that."
"Oh… Well, we have lunch for that." Ritsuka said turning over to Artoria Alter who had a huge pile of garbage from all the bread wrappers next to her. "What the..."
"Is there something wrong, Ritsuka? Class is about to start." Artoria Alter said nonchalantly. Ritsuka shakes his head before putting his bread in his bag.
"Yeah, she's a glutton. If you think that's a lot, then you should see how much she eats during lunchtime." Jeanne Alter said sitting in front of Ritsuka's desk. "She eats like a dragon alright."
"It's fine. People can eat as much as they want." Ritsuka said sitting down.
'This guy is chill with everything!' Jeanne Alter and Artoria Alter thought at the same time.
Hey, guys, this is NexusEX with another chapter of Chaldea Academy and the crazy and wacky adventures of Ritsuka Fujimaru. This chapter was actually fun as we got to see some people that will be in the main cast. But this isn't the whole cast, however. In fact that the main cast is so big and prominent that the supporting cast members would be mistaken for being part of the main character and vice versa. That just means to me that everyone will have some kind of role in this story and will be prominent in some kind of aspect so someone's favorite servant will NOT be left by themselves. Plus I do have my group of favorite servants who will definitely become part of the main cast. I am extremely biased when it comes to writing sometimes but that is something that I'm not going to change. However, I feel like I should leave you guys with something so I'll give you guys the staff list. Because you guys are giving me so much support in such a minuscule amount of time. (Also an added bonus. Class schedule for Ritsuka and the others)
