Disclaimer: I Own Nothing (Except for Celeste)!
...
"Oh hey, Celeste," Sakuya stops walking to greet the redhead, who looks to be in a sour mood, walking along the cemented path leading to Sakura's Main Building.
Sakuya is a tall woman who stands at 5'9" with an athletic build, she has shoulder-length charcoal black hair that has white strands of hair on the right side, she has fair skin tone, and wears the standard uniform of Sakura which consists of a gray blazer, white button down shirt with a red tie indicating that she's a first year, and a black skirt.
Celeste stops on her tracks, turns her head towards the charcoal black-haired individual and narrows her cyan blue eyes at her before proceeding toward the main building with a huff.
Sakuya blinks as she follows Celeste's figure, taken aback by her friend's greeting since Celeste is usually in a less negative mood.
"I wonder what happened to her," Sakuya mumbles.
When Sakuya is about to continue her way to the gymnasium, where she usually trains, because she just heard that their 21st homeroom teacher quits his job the day before, somebody jumps on her from behind.
"Kurogane!"
Sakuya mentally groans at the voice she hates so much-well, one of the voices she hates so much since class 1-A of Sakura is full of headaches and annoying people.
She actually could only tolerate a less than 30% of her class, including Celeste and Blake, though the latter doesn't take most things seriously, she finds him tolerable because he isn't that annoying.
"What do you want, Sato?" Sakuya asks, saying Tomoki's surname with distaste, obviously disinterested on whatever nonsense the boy is going to say.
Tomoki is a moderately tall teenager who has spiky chocolate brown hair, tan skin complexion, round hazel eyes and wears the standard male uniform of Sakura which consists of a gray blazer, a white button down shirt, a red tie, and black pants.
Sensing Sakuya's discomfort and annoyance, Tomoki takes a few steps back and smiles apologetically.
"I'm sorry about that, you know how I get every time I'm excited or every time I see a good news from UA," Tomoki says as he laughs awkwardly.
Sakuya goes silent for a while so Tomoki takes that as a sign to proceed to whatever he is going to say.
"So have you heard-?"
"I read the article and if UA's the only-"
"No, not that!" Tomoki interrupts her. "I meant have you heard about the upcoming event?"
Sakuya narrows her eyes at Tomoki.
"I'm not interested, we're only going to embarrass ourselves," Sakuya says. "So don't even think about registering."
The black-haired girl turns her back on the chocolate brown-haired boy, but when she did...
"No, but the whole student body of Sakura got registered already, I saw our names online even though registrations aren't open yet."
Upon hearing that, Sakuya turns to him again with wide stormy gray eyes.
"What!?"
Tomoki would grin at the rare show of emotion of Sakuya, but decides against it since it might not be the right time.
"Well, remember that one time with Yukimura?" Tomoki asks.
"You mean the villain attack at the carnival?" Sakuya questions just to make sure since she isn't present at that time but she did remember watching news about a boy from Sakura saving the day.
And, she also remembers that Blake got punished just because he doesn't have a hero license.
"Yes, that," Tomoki confirms. "Well, we got in because of him! Isn't that awesome!?" He grins.
While Tomoki seems happy, Sakuya, on the other hand is definitely not. And Celeste is definitely going to react more negatively.
Sakuya's strong, probably the strongest one among Class 1-A or even the whole student body of Sakura.
But Sakura isn't even ready yet, especially when the event is only two months away!
Meanwhile inside Sakura's Class 1-A...
Karakuri Samara, the prankster of the class, can't stop laughing at Shiori who just woke up and is currently unaware of the mustache and unibrow drawn on her face.
Samara is of average height who has shoulder length, aqua blie hair, and purple eyes. She has light skin that is spotted with freckles that aren't too visible. Samara also has glasses and wears the uniform for Sakura, but instead of a blazer, she wears a sweater over her shirt.
Shiori is a tall girl with a lanky build, she has shoulder length, dishelved white hair, and gray eyes. She wears black glasses and the female uniform of Sakura, only it is wrinkled and the first two buttons of her shirt is unbottoned.
Celeste looks up from her phone and looks at her two classmates in front of her in curiosity, but her curiosity soon washes away when she sees Samara laughing.
Then Celeste's attention shifts to the window on the right side of a classroom where a man passes by on the corridor with two other people behind him.
"Shirokawa, Karakuri," Celeste calls to the only currently present students of Class 1-A aside from herself, earning both of their attention with Samara still laughing but not as loud while wiping the tears that formed on the corners of her purple eyes. "Why do we have visitors?"
"Visitors?" Shiori asks as she turns to Celeste, still unaware of why Samara is laughing.
But now, Celeste knows why Samara is, but she refrains from laughing-or at least attempts to.
"Well," Celeste bites the insides of her cheeks. "You might want t-" Celeste lets out a little bit of laughter escape, but she covers her mouth with both of her hands and rushes out of the door.
"How odd," Shiori comments, but then something inside her mind clicks so she turns her head to Samara with a small frown. "What did you do?"
"Noth-" Samara stiffles a laugh. "-ing, I swear!"
"Samara."
Just as Shiori says that, Samara runs out of the room while she is in a fit of laughter and says, "I'm so sorry, Shirokawa, but I can't take you seriously with that face!"
...
Three men stand in front of the principal of Sakura, Principal Ayase.
"Please have a seat," Principal Ayase says as he gestures to the two seats in front of his desk. "One of you will have to stand, though."
"We'll be fine," The first man says, waving his hand briefly in front of him.
"Very well then, and might I know what made you come to Sakura?" The principal asks. "Because I already know how you didn't inform us about our students' registration."
"We apologize for that, the council had insisted to let your students join because of the potential-"
"You are aware that Sakura has an awful image and its students would just be made fun of, right?" The principal interrupts.
"Yes, but we could recreate that image into a good one if your students have proper training and facilities with proper teachers and trainers," the man says. "And also, if they participate in the tournament."
"We have proper facilities, I assure you, what we lack are teachers with hero experience," Principal Ayase sighs. "And Sakura is already shutting down by next-"
"I'll stop you right there," the man says as he slides a brown envelope on top of the principal's desk.
Principal Ayase eyes the envelope carefully before opening it and pulling out a paper.
"The council wants to help because they see potential in your students," the man explains as the principal reads the paper.
Principal Ayase then puts down the paper and pulls out a cheque inside the envelope. Upon reading the amount, the principal sighs and looks at the man.
"We're already going to shut down and the students couldn't possibly train in just two months," the principal says.
"Sir, your students came here because they wanted to achieve their dream to become a hero but they couldn't land a spot on other hero schools," the man says, hoping to change the mind of the principal. "Do you think they'll take this news lightly? Do they even know that the school is going to shut down?"
"I-" the principal sighs, "please give me time to think of all this."
"Very well," the man says calmly. "I'll leave the money behind and decide whether if you're going to use it for this school pr return it to the government."
With that said, the man left.
