I'm sorry guys. Victoria 3 cured my urges to write but might still upload once in a while. Advice and critic would be appriciated. Don't worry, the author is not a soft tofu.

Ehe.

Anyway, enjoy.

The moon hung on the sky.

It was four o'clock sharp in the morning. The sky was dark and the wind felt cold. One could say it was still very early in the morning, even for a high school student. In this fine hour, Dio was taking his morning jog. He jogged around the neighborhood wearing a grey tracksuit and a pair of shorts. The boy looked around curiously. He was quite satisfied with his new neighborhood. During his jog, he found a hot spring, a convenience store, an underground mall, and a bowling alley. There were so many things to do in his free time.

"A temple?" He found a temple on the top of an ascending rocky road. "Interesting. Guess I'll visit." Easily intrigued by the temple, Dio forgot his objective to go home. He walked towards the temple. From there, he could hear some familiar sound. "Someone is fighting. Maybe training…" He said softly, following the trail of sound.

Dio climbed to the top of that rocky road and found a youth of his age fighting several bald monks. He was moving like an expert, punching people left and right. His eyes looked very focused but still managed to take a glance at Dio. It was only for a short moment, but Dio could feel it. He glared at Dio like a beast ready to feast on his prey.

The boy just smiled.

That was his response to his beastly glare.

"Do we have a guest? Tatsuya-kun, maybe we should stop here and continue tomorrow."

"Yes, Sensei."

They immediately stopped fighting and bowed to each other respectfully. "Japanese manner sure is cool." Whispered Dio with shining eyes. He always wanted to go to Japan after all. Most of them are polite. Added him on his mind.

"Excuse me, but do you want to pray or give an offering? The main hall is over there." Said a bald man wearing a yukata. He looked like a monk.

"Ah, not really. I'm new in Japan and got intrigued by the temple. Did I perhaps bother you...?" Asked Dio while scratching his head.

"Not at all. Sorry if my question sounded offensive. My name is Kokonoe Yakumo the head monk of Kyuuchouji Temple aka the temple in front of you. What is your name?"

"My name is Dio. Dio Rosen. Nice to meet you." Dio introduced himself and suddenly made a bowing motion while cupping his hand as if he forgot to do that earlier.

"Hahaha, Dio Rosen is it?" Yakumo made a hearty laugh. "Where are you from? The name sounds very familiar."

"I'm from Germany and yes I'm from that Rosen family if that is your next question." People asked Dio about his family a lot, so he kind of expect a topic about his family would come out soon. He thought that he better answer before that question arise.

Rosen was very famous after all.

They own 55% share of Rosen Magicraft, the biggest CAD (casting assistant device) manufacturer in the world. On its tail was the Maximilien Device, a CAD manufacturer based on United States of North America. No one had been able to disturb their dominance in the CAD market. Rosen focused on quality specific purpose CAD while Maximilien focused on mass produced easy to use CAD. Because of that the Rosen family became the wealthiest family on earth.

Leaving one of their descendants in an unknown territory was a fool errand.

"As I thought! You should be at the same age as Tatsuya and Miyuki then."

"Tatsuya and Miyuki...?" Dio tilted his head, confused at the two names.

"Oi, Tatsuya-kun, Miyuki-chan, come here for a bit."

Yakumo called the guy who was sparring before. Besides the youth was a beautiful girl with long black hair. She looked very similar to the classic Yamato Nadeshiko if given a form. She wore a white and green one piece school uniform. On her right chest was an eight petal crest, symbol of First Magic High School. Uwah, her breasts are quite big. Dio smiled innocently while looking at her beautiful eyes. He suddenly thought about Carla and how they would become rivals if they met. It would be a competition about the most popular girl at school. Carla would definitely win mid diff. He thought, biased of course.

"Sensei, you called for us?" Asked the girl with a sweet voice.

"Let me introduce you to Dio Rosen!" Said Yakumo excitedly with both hands pointing at Dio. "Hey, you guys wanted to know about the mysterious transfer student, right? It turns out, this is your guy." Yakumo whispered to the girl but Dio could hear it very clearly. Dio even knew Yakumo used some kind of transmission technique to make the sound wave move straight. He just smiled and pretended not to know.

The girl looked surprised. She then looked at Dio properly.

"Nice to meet you, Dio. My name is Miyuki Shiba and my brother is Tatsuya Shiba. You can just call us by our first name." Said Miyuki with a beautiful voice and smile.

"Oh, nice to meet you, Miyuki." Right, in Japan, being called by the first name is a big deal because you need to be very close to the said person. Dio felt excited again after encountering a culture at practice. "And Tatsuya too." Continued Dio.

Tatsuya just nodded his head. He didn't even smile. His face was stoic like a robot, but some would definitely call him handsome. Dio smiled as usual. He could see it clearly. The youth before him sealed his power. Dio could sense reiatsu, a spiritual energy created by a spiritual being. In modern terms, it was called pushion or souls, the spiritual counterparts of psion. As if a beast waiting to be unleashed, Tatsuya's pushion moved violently from within him but stopped by a certain pledge.

"Is there anything wrong?" Asked Tatsuya cautiously.

"Nothing."

Silence engulfed that place.

"Rosen-kun—"

"Please just call me Dio. It sounds more friendly."

Dio stopped Miyuki before she could say anything.

"Okay then. Dio-kun, are you at vacation? I am curious. I mean, why Japan? Do you have a family here?" Asked Miyuki as she tried to explain herself.

"I guess you can call it a vacation, but I'm actually going to the same school as you."

"Huh?" Not only Miyuki, Tatsuya and Yakumo also looked surprised. "As me? First Magic High School?" Asked Miyuki again, still in disbelief.

"Yeah! We could be classmate!" Exclaimed Dio. He didn't pretend to be excited. He was excited for real to meet a classmate in a fated encounter. About Tatsuya's secret, Dio didn't really care. Since that time he regained his freedom, he distanced himself from everything violent in nature. "Even with this power, I just want to enjoy my freedom after all…" Was what he said at that time.

"Are you really a transfer student? I didn't hear about you during the opening ceremony."

Tatsuya still doubted Dio, but it was to be expected. Crowd tend to follow the famous and prestigious, but Dio had no crowd nor noises.

"It worked then. I asked my parents not to make a big deal out of this transfer. I just want to enjoy a peaceful high school life."

"I see. What about your security?"

"I am the security."

"!!!"

Even for just a moment, Tatsuya could feel danger coming from Dio. His body instinctively tried to reach out for his hidden CAD, but stopped his action due to feeling no more danger.

"Onii-sama, anything wrong? You looked exhausted."

"No, there is nothing wrong." Said Tatsuya, hiding his agitation. "This guy is undoubtedly strong!" Was what Tatsuya felt even though he never saw Dio in action.

"Hmm, but why didn't you come on the opening ceremony?" Asked Yakumo trying to cool the atmosphere.

"Ah, that's because my flight got delayed. There was a huge storm on the way."

"Oh, I heard about it yesterday. The Katerina Storms, right?"

"Yup. Did I miss something?"

"Hehehe." Yakumo laughed and touch Dio's right shoulder. "You just missed something very important. You missed the chance to see Miyuki as the new student representative!"

"What? Wow! Are you telling me not only beautiful, Miyuki is also very smart?"

"Oho. It seems I'm talking to someone cultured."

Both Yakumo and Dio smiled mischievously.

"Oh, c'mon both of you. It wasn't a big deal. Maybe Dio here is smarter than me. How was your test?"

"Barely enough to pass I guess."

"Hmm, is that so?" Miyuki doubted his smile.

"I want to talk more, but I believe school will start soon. We should go to school immediately." Said Tatsuya.

"Oh shit! Now that you mention it, I forgot to bring my uniform. Tatsuya, do you have a spare?"

"…"

"…"

They all thought, "What is wrong with this guy?"
