The black haired teacher sighed seeing his friend leaning on a desk happily. "Tough day, right?" the other teacher joked earning an irritated look in return. "Apparently the heroes are more important than learning how to write," Zero groaned sitting at his desk and looking through the work. "What do you need today, Toshi." Toshi's real name was Toshihiro Yatsuki and was a fellow teacher at their schoo, Shurigure Academy. He taught math while Zero Shirozaki taught English Literature. Yatsuki sensei hated his job and usually was feared among the students and most faculty. Zero sighed again glancing at his supposed friend before saying," Do you think it's strange to be a teacher at nineteen when all the others are at least twenty?" Toshi blinked pulling out a candy bar he had earlier conviscated and laughed countering," Why? You think because you are the youngest teacher that the students would listen better. Better luck fighting a bear." Both laughed at his joke before a loud crash shook the building. "Looks like the heroes brought some friends again," commented the nineteen year old raven glancing in warning to the other who had black eyes and spikish brown hair.
They walked outside the school building to be greeted by a crowd of people shouting both words of warning and courage as smoke devoured the sky above them. "Too much is you ask me," commented Toshi throwing the wrapper in a nearby trashcan. "Can't they handle these things before entering the city." Zero stayed silent. He knew that the battle taking place here was just a show for everyone inside the city. If it was actually dangerous then everyone would run in fear. "Weak," a voice whispered in the raven's ear making him shiver. That word was what best described the new city that stood above forgotten ruins.
It all happened 10 years ago when some girl named Alice destroyed the old city and supposedly freed everyone from its rule. The legend sounds both real and fake to everyone now because all memory of the fateful battle disappeared with both enemies and hero. Most believe it to be nothing more than a stupid story to scare your children with. Zero scoffed,' Yeah I would love to tell my kid that if she was bad a red queen would chop off her head." His whole body shivered. Everyone was supposed to forget the battle, but for some reason the raven could remember everything but before it. It was like a bad joke fate decided to play on him.
"Hey, looks like its already over," mused his friend as another explosion ruptured and a robotic arm crashed down beside the brunette. "Just a normal day after all." Dark blue eyes watched the crowd around them cheer in excitement over the latest victory of the heroes. 'Whatever,' he thought fixing the white trenchcoat he wore. "Hey, leaving already?" asked the brunette trailing behind curious. "Yeah, I want to catch a new show coming on tonight," said Zero feeling a light breeze past by and seeing the crowd start to separate. "You should catch Mushi mushi. It's the best show ever," encouraged Toshi excitedly about his cute anime. The raven sweatdropped wondering how the 28 year old next to him could still love a children's show. "I heard this week they were going to have an episode on that Alice legend," continued the other smiling to his friend. A feeling clawed the confines of the raven's stomache as he stopped. There standing before them was Shizou Amane, who had bright blonde hair and dazzling hazel eyes.
"Oh," gasped the brunette amazed at their luck. "Wow." Zero noticed the seventeen year old hero In front of them frozed as if time had just stopped. A look of fear masking his face. "Something is wrong," warned the raven looking around seeing no one near them. "Where did everyone go?" Toshi nodded and ran off to get help. Dark blue eyes stayed on the blonde wondering how to help the hero. "How did this happen?" he questioned himself reaching out and touching Shizou lightly.
