"Kuwajiri! You are staying after class!" I hear the teacher snap her ruler at the table as Kuwajiri doesn't do anything for the rest of the class and hopefully for the rest of the day. The bell rings as I quickly get up.

"That was a hell of a catch, Sun. Nice work." I feel Harukas hand on my shoulder and her shaking me slightly with pride.

"I'll say, you didn't even have to look to catch it."

"Well as soon as I heard Kuwajiris grating voice and once I heard something stretch, I knew I had to uh... react I guess. I uh... had my own douchebags in the americas so it's kinda second hand sort of thing ya know." Yeah, not the throwing stars I had to catch from training so that it wouldn't kill me. Certainly not that.

"Well either way, you handled that masterfully. Well done brother."

"Thanks. It was nothing. So uh... where do y'all hang out during lunch?"

"We usually go to the roof. It's usually just me and Michiru, but we wouldn't mind you coming." I shake my head to Haruka.

"Maybe not today, I'd like to try and get to know some of the students around that time, I've already garnered some attention so might as well. But next time, yeah?" I see Haruka smile.

"The offer will always be on the table."

I nod and go get some food. As expected, some other noble girls come up to me and speak with me. I answer as scripted as possible as I then notice a girl, sitting alone on a table underneath a big tree. Some of the girls notice and tell me I shouldn't go over to her.

They tell me her name is Hotaru Tomoe. That she's alone for her random mood swings and that she gets seizures. He thanks them for letting them know as he goes over there. Some of the girls calling me back to try and not do this. I see that this girl is the outcast upon her fellow classmates. I know what that's like and I won't let it stand.

"Hotaru Tomoe?" I see the girl look around before turning her back to look at me as I smile at her.

"Please... don't make me move from this spot. It's so hot out and I like this tree a lot..."

"Why would I have you move? I was about to ask if I could sit with you. If that's alright with you." The girl looks at me with shock, as if no one ever asked if they could. She is frozen like that for a good 20 or so seconds before I say something.

"Is that a yes...?"

"No. I-I MEAN YES! Yes, please!" I chuckle as she scooches over and I sit next to her.

"Thank you. I'm Sun Kaioh. I'm new to the school here so I do hope we can be friends." She sounds surprised the moment I say my name.

"But... those girls are calling for you." I shake my head.

"Doesn't make them my friend. They only want to talk to me because of my name and my money. Those aren't friends."

"What would they be called?"

"By me, people I am aware of. By societal terms they would be brown nosing leeches." I start eating. The food is top quality. What else to expect from a school to the elite.

"Oh... I'm not much of anyone. I'm surprised you'd want to talk to me." Hotaru tucks some of her hair behind her ear.

"Well... while I have been here for only a little while. Any place I went I felt... alone." Hotaru turns her head to me in surprise.

"Alone?"

"Yes. Everywhere I went I felt like... an outcast. Everything I did, felt like it was being scrutinized by others and where no one really wanted to be friends with me. So I'd move again and again and somehow it kept being the same." This makes Hotaru surprised. She looks like she's seeing her own reflection in a place that shouldn't show it.

"I know how that's like. I thought with your name and stature, you'd be loved and adored."

"As I said, it'd more than likely to be for my money. People can be tricky at times."

"Should I be worried about you then?" I smile to the jest.

"Touché. I mean... they look like they haven't experienced loneliness. Being ostracized by others and casted out." Hotaru looks down at her lap and frowns, but nods.

"Yeah... although I'm sure they told you about my problems. I sometimes... have seizures... and bad mood swings."

"Yes, but nobody is perfect. They can make themselves as pretty and do as much surgery as they want to look pretty. But nobody is perfect. Not even me." She looks at me up and down when I say that."

"But... you don't look like you have anything wrong with you."

"Oh trust me... there are some things wrong. I also have this." I turn so that she doesn't see me as she more than likely wondering what's going on. Before I turn back to show a flipper. A retainer with a singular fake tooth on it as I smile a toothy smile, showing my right front tooth being gone. She gasps a bit with her hand to her mouth as I put it back on.

"See?"

"You are full of surprises, Sun."

"I'd feel I'd be disappointing if I didn't have any." I say with a nod. I then hear the bell ring for the rest of classes to begin.

"This was fun. I hope we can do this again maybe the day after tomorrow? I'm hanging out with my sister and her... friend and I could ask if I can bring you along."

"Oh... if they'll allow me. I feel so intimidated by them."

'If only you knew what they do after school.' I think as I look off.

"Oh they are wonderful people. I'll still ask and if they say no. Just means more time for you and me to talk. Have a good rest of your day, Hotaru."

"You too, Sun." She bows at me. The next class was chemistry. They showed us how to make certain chemicals and to see what the end result would be.

I raise my hand instinctively, cursing myself for that as I am called by the male teacher.

"Yes, Mr. Kaioh?"

"Uh... uhm... well sir, I already know what that would be... before having to create it. Sir." I get all eyes on me. %*.

"Ohhh we have a chemist everyone. Then tell me Mr. Kaioh. In your childish wisdom, what would this be?"

"Bromochlorofluoroiodomethane." I get a lot of awe at that one word. Even my sister, with Haruka not being here, thankfully, looking at me with shock. The teacher himself was impressed. Kuwajiri was there too but I didn't really give a damn what he thought currently.

"I stand corrected, that is indeed the answer. May I ask what you know of it? Flick that paper at this young man Kuwajiri and you are GONE," The old teacher had the eyes of a hawk. Making Kuwajiri freeze up. "Go ahead Mr. Kaioh."

"This specific compound can be seen as a methane molecule, whose four hydrogen atoms are each replaced with a different halogen atom. As the mirror images of this molecule are not superimposable, the molecule has two enantiomers. As one of the simplest such molecules, it is often cited as the prototypical chiral compound. However, since there is no synthetic route known to produce it, the related simple chiral compound bromochlorofluoromethane is used instead when such a compound is required for research." Again. Everyone's eyes were on me, I hear murmurs from some of the other classmates. Michiru says nothing and Kuwajiri blows raspberries at my given answer.

"Well... Mr. Kaioh I must say well done sir. You must have done a lot of studying abroad. If you'd like, I'd be happy to get you into advanced classes. It'll still be in this period of course."

"If that's what you think is best sir. Thank you." I quickly sit back down.

"Well class since this is a first for me. You all can start your homework early or talk amongst yourselves for the next hour. While I get to do some reading. Thank Mr. Sun for your lucky day." Indeed I do get thanks, even from Kuwajiris goon squad he had with him. Some even broke off from him to "hang" with me I guess. I can't let this go to my head. I'm painting myself a bigger target on my head.

"Well, brother I must say I... I'm shocked."

"Is that supposed to be a compliment...?"

"Yes, I mean you are a genius. No one could have answered that. Especially that fast." I scratch my head to that, laughing to that nervously.

"W-Well... yeah... but now I got AP classes to worry about now." I say jesting, getting a grin on my sisters face.

The last class. PE. I gotta find a way to screw up. Make myself look absolutely like a klutz, might get some heat off my back. I see Haruka in here and not Michiru. If she even suspects me as Batman, even the slightest bit. I gotta squash it here.

Ok, first we got rope climb. How do I make myself a fool here? I start to climb up slowly, I see Kuwajiri and even Haruka climb up much faster. That could do it. No... I got to do more with further activities.

"Not bad sun, not much of a climber?" I nod at Haruka, lying.

"Keep up slow poke!" I feel Kuwajiri gorilla sized hand slap my back. Making one of the cuts I got from one of my patrols throb. I wince but I try to smile and bounce a bit in my step.

"You ok?" I nod to Haruka's question as I pat her shoulder and we continue to the next activity. Next was running. I got this. I'm racing against Haruka, now I REALLY gotta screw this up.

"Let's have a good race yeah?" I present my hand for her and she shakes it.

"You too, Sun. Although be warned, I can get a little competitive."

"I wouldn't know honestly but I'll keep it in mind." I say nervously as I hear the blank gun go off and I start running with her. I go as fast as I could at the start as I know it'll burn me out at the end. I hear the cheers from some of the classmates as I am already getting 3/4ths there as I start to slow down, even feeling Haruka past me. As expected, she's going all out at the end and she's as fast as the wind.

Damn... but also that's good. If it keeps me looking anywhere close to athletic, even for my 5'8 stature and big muscle mass, I'll live with it.

"Good run. Congrats. Hooo! God... you got a water?" Haruka chuckles at me as she hands me one.

"Ohhh you are a life saver. Thank you!" I chug the whole bottle down in one go.

"Easy there speed racer, you'll get hiccups by doing that."

"True, but you ran so fast. It like the wind was carrying you. Damn."

"...What?" I look to her from what she asked as if I said something alien to her.

"You ran faster than the wind. Like it was blowing at your back to make you go faster."

"Oh. Ohhhh I get what you mean pfft! I don't believe in that nonsense."

"Yeah, it's prolly just some bull-" I am then cut off by a blood curdling scream as I see Haruka get serious.

"Uh... w-we should run. Haruka. It's prolly a wild animal or something... Haruka?"

"Hm? Oh, uh, you go ahead, I'll catch up."

"What about you thou-"

"JUST GO!" I then act scared by her yell and run back. I need to go and get my su- ah dammit... ok, I'm gonna have to go and save the guy screaming. But how do I do that as myself? I can just pull them while Haruka, or more accurately Uranus prolly about now is fighting with whatever daimon she's gonna be facing.

I go flank off from the perceived origin from the scream. I see that it's... of course it's Kuwajiri... great. I see Uranus facing up with the Daimon and I use that moment to sneak up to Kuwajiris body. I see the crystal above his chest as I grab both his forearms and start pulling. It isn't long before I stumble back on accident and garner the daimons attention.

"GET OUTTA HERE! ITS GONNA-" Haruka is cut off by the Daimons surprise attack as it charges at me.

"Ah shit..."

"Two crystals at once! Eudial will be so proud!" I get a bit surprised as I thought she would have said Kaorinite.

"Who?" I mutter to myself as I dodge the clawed strike. I get into a defensive stance as it seems Uranus eyes are closed for the moment. Seems whatever it did packed a wallop.

In case anyone is indeed watching from the shadows. I'll limit myself to make it look like boxing. Go for strikes that look like lucky blows. I land two to her abdomen and one to the jaw. I go for the mandibular nerve but it blocks it. Alright, it'll be a little too close to my liking. But here goes.

I strike it's jaw once more with a haymaker, enough to spin it around as I get behind it and wrap arm around its neck. It'll only take 11 pounds of pressure to collapse a windpipe. For the sake that this is a Daimon and it even knocked Uranus down, even though it was a surprise attack, I'll go for 35 pounds.

"Gotosleepgotosleepgotosleep!" I roar out in pain as I feel it's claws digging into my forearms, deep. Enough to make me bleed decently but not dangerously. I can't stop now, but even this ain't slowing it down. Alright, 50 pounds then. Since you asked so nicely. I hear the wained struggle for breath coming out of its mouth. It's stopped clawing now as it's grabbing my wrists to try and pry me off. After 10 more seconds, it finally passes out. I lay there. Bleeding... panting... I hear footsteps coming as I act like my arms are overbearing in pain.

"Oh GOD! Ahggg! It's not stopping! HELP! SOMEONE HELP ME!!"
