GL (GalaxyLight): Continuing back here until I've finished two more chapters of this story, then I'd be focusing on the others too. Starting from Elder Junior High School, all characters will be in that school (Well, almost all of them), including those who are older because they have certain reasons to be there.

Elesis's PoV

My brother and I walked through the hallway to our classroom. While we were walking, I heard mumbling from the people around us.

"Who's that red-haired girl? She looks beautiful." One of them said.

"She looks like a high-school idol." Another said.

"Wait! Isn't that Elesis?" I twitched when they heard my name.

"You mean the top-class student?" If I remember correctly, I was quite popular with the students in this school. I had good grades and a talent for sport. I became very popular due to my skills and looks.

"Why is she here?"

"I heard she stopped school as a 3rd year and then came back after 3 years."

"Why did she stop?"

"I dunno, she might had some things to do, work, study or educate higher."

"Regardless of that, she's still pretty. I wonder if I could ask her out." That began to anger me a bit.

"Naw! I'm sure she's not interested in some plain guy like you. I'm sure she has a type for charming and handsome princes." I became angered even more but I kept walking.

"By the way, who's that guy beside her? Her boyfriend?" I almost stopped when someone said that.

"No. That's just her brother Elsword. I hear he's good as well but not as good as her." I twitched with anger when they said 'not as good as me'

"He's so lucky to have such a beautiful sister like her. He should be happy and grateful."

'Excuse me?' I thought in my mind.

"Well, whatever happens, lets hope her life will be the best."

'You have no idea...' I thought to myself. I know that I don't need some wealthy, charming men. All I know that my little Elsword is the most handsome of all. I won't go out with anyone but him.

Lucky for me, we're both 3rd years and we were on the same class. This means I can have fun and chat with him all I like without moving out to other classrooms over and over and over again. I'd be annoyed and exhausted if I keep doing that. "Looks like we're on the same class, Elsword." I gave him as big smile.

"Yeah. It would seem so." He smiled back. I became more happier when he smiled at me.

Elsword's PoV

I am glad that my sister is in the same class as me but I think she's more glad than I am, judging by her big smile.

"Same class as you again? This can't be a coincidence!" I turned to see a purple haired girl with braids talking to me with her arms folded. She also had a magic staff on her back.

"Oh. Hey Aisha." I greeted her.

"Don't 'Hey Aisha' me!" She shouted. I groaned. Aisha is a friend of mine, a very noisy one. We've been friends since we were 1st year. She's very good with magic, which is obvious since she wields a staff. She had continuous good grades on her magic tests, some were even higher than Elesis. It doesn't really surprise me since she studies a lot on it.

"You know I had to take care of most of your problems."

"Yeah yeah, I know." I then suddenly felt a scary aura behind me.

Elesis's PoV

That Aisha girl think she can boss around my little Elsword? I'm happy that he has friends but I didn't expect one of them is so bossy. Her attitude is so wrong for Elsword. Personally I think I can be at better care for him than her. And I should probably tell her that he's mine.

Though I was quite impressed that she's the one who is ranked first on magic exams. Before I headed to the classroom with Elsword, I saw billboards of last years exams, and I saw Aisha's name at number 1 at the magic exam. She must be a special magician. She impressed me a little so I decided to keep an eye on her.

"By the way, is that your sister, Elesis?" Aisha asked Elsword.

"Yeah. She's actually a bit older but is still here due to some... personal circumstances." He answered slowly.

"Sure... anyway, it's nice to meet you, Elesis."

I didn't want her to see me suspicious so I played along. "Yes, it's nice to meet you to-" I was cut off when I heard a familiar voice behind me.

"Wha-!? Elesis!?" I turned around to see a long green-haried elf who gasped when she saw me. She wasn't the only one.

"R-Rena!?" I shrieked "What are you doing here!?"

"I should be asking you the same thing. What are you doing here!?"

"You two know each other?" Elsword asked me as I turned back to him.

"Y-Yeah! Sort of! She used to be a classmate of mine." I met Rena when I was a 1st year in Elder Junior High. She had a very nice body, especially her breasts bouncing as I helplessly looked at my own. Her weapon is a bow and uses her nature energy to create arrows of her own which is impressive. She's the president of the Archery Club... Well, former president. She had good grades and was a kind woman, everyone loved her, I however didn't. She looked nice to be friends with when I first met her, but for some reason part of me wants to stay away from her. It was because of my fear of going near other people. Despite how Rena acts, I couldn't trust her. I have thoughts that she would toy around with me for fun. So for years, I ignored her and continued educating. She once tried to talk to me since our skills were both unique but I just turned away from her hoping that she wouldn't follow me.

Everything in my head had images of people with evil faces who would laugh at me with fear, despair and humiliation. But one light in my mind was there and it was Elsword. He was what's left for me. He's the only one I can trust. Elsword is my light, Elsword is my cure, Elsword is my love.

"So you're friends then?" Aisha asked me as I came back to my senses.

I wasn't really happy when she asked me that. "No. No we're not." I answered seriously.

The reason we know each other much is because she insisted that she'd talk to me because she would follow me anywhere to find out what's wrong. I gave up and talked to her but I didn't tell her about my fear. She'd get in the way if I did. We somewhat became acquaintances but not friends.

"Eh? But we talked a lot when we were in 1st ye-"

"WE"RE NOT!" I silenced her. I'll never see her or anymore has a friend. Everyone stared at me when I shouted, I blushed as I sat down on my desk.

Elsword and Aisha didn't say anything when I answered. However, Elsword just stared at me with serious eyes that made me shiver a bit. He's onto me, literally.

"Oh! Is that your little brother, Elesis? He looks so cute." Rena attempted to pat Elsword's head. Without thinking, I slapped her hand away from him.

"Hands off. He isn't someone you can just play with." Is all what popped into my aggressive mouth. No stranger can go and touch my Elsword like that, that includes Rena. The three gasped to what I just did and said.

"O-Oh! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to upset you and your brother." Rena stammered as she understood what I did.

"If you want his name, it's Elsword." I quietly exclaimed.

"Oh! Then... nice to meet you, Elsword."

"Y-Yeah! Same here..." He replied. I kept silent while they talked. Now I'm going to get some answers to why she is here.

"Now, why are you here, Rena?" I asked her. "I thought you already graduated Junior High."

"Well, I would have graduated if that incident didn't happen."

"Incident?" The three of us said at the same time.

"Yes. During the summer holidays after I finished my 2nd year of Junior High, my town had a huge storm. The rain was heavy, the wind was strong and there were also thunderbolts." For some reason, hearing those made our skin crawl.

"The thunderbolts were so powerful, I shudder everytime I hear it." Her tone became more sadden. "The thunderbolts stroke a numerous number of trees. We could hear them falling down to the ground from my town. After the storm disappeared, a gigantic pile of trees blocked the way to Elder. None of us could get past it, over it or even around it. The storm made a lot of mess, me and the townspeople were not allowed to get past until the trees were fully removed. The problem was that there were so many trees that fallen by the storm, it would take 3 years to remove all of them."

"3 YEARS!?" Elsword, Aisha and I shouted at the same time.

"You heard me. The blockage was strong, it took strong people to get them out of the way. Because I still have school next year, I couldn't do anything much in my home. So I decided to start a part-time job on my town as I waited. I trained and studied more about bows since I'm at the Archery Club. I even studied bit of martials arts for self-defence. I've been doing that for the past 3 years."

"After those years have pasted, the trees were finally removed and now I can come back and educate. But because I was absent in school for 3 years. I was forced to attend to 3rd year despite the fact I got older. Now I'm back here again and my, is this place very nostalgic. Isn't it Elesis?"

"Yes... Yes it is." I replied as I looked around the classroom with classmates talking with each other. So that was the reason why she couldn't come. I didn't think Rena had trouble coming to school. I was wondering why she wasn't here when I started my 3rd year when I was 15 years old. I have now found the reason.

"So, now it's your turn, Elesis." Rena piped up. "Why are you here? You shouldn't still be in this school in that age."

"Urk! Well..." I trembled as I turned away from her, Aisha and Elsword. I couldn't possibly tell her that I skipped 3 years to be with Elsword. It'd be too, selfish, humiliating and embarrassing. 'I need to find a way to change the subject. But what?' I thought to myself. I was totally at loss of what I'm going to say. 'Damn it, Elesis! Think!' My eyes were closed trying to think of a way. Rena was getting closer as I was getting suspicious. 'Come on! Come on!'

"Okay, everyone! It's time for class!" We turned to see Luichel, our teacher for the class, at the classroom door.

'Yes! Saved by the teacher! Thank you, Luichel!' I sighed of relief. Looks like I was safe with my secret for now. But I have a feeling that the three of my classmates, including Elsword, are going to get me to talk about the secrets. I need to keep my guard up whatever it takes in this school life I'll be having.

GL: Time to stop for now! Looks like we have Aisha and Rena for this chapter, Raven and Eve will be in that school too. You'll just have to wait until that time comes. Looks like Elesis is becoming a bit of a yandere but not too yandere. She still have some care for others but not as much as you think it is. You'll know as the story goes on.
