Chapter 3.
Third person POV.
Araki POV.
Araki rubbed her cheeks from the tears that kept flowing out of her two beautiful eyes.
"Dad, Mom. May you find peace up there." Araki said quietly while kissing his family photo.
Araki put the picture of his family back on the table where he studied and immediately went to his bed, preparing to sleep so that he would not wake up late tomorrow, because tomorrow, is a very important day for him.
Tomorrow is his first day to study at Kuoh academy. It used to be that the Academy was exclusively for girls, but that is no longer after a while ago. He decided to attend Kuoh Academy because it was located close to the house left by his parents.
Araki turned off his bedroom light and lay staring at the ceiling of his room while thinking about the promise he had made to a girl.
(Flashback.)
"You will promise right?" The girl asked, thrusting her little finger.
"I promise." Araki put his little finger together with the girl's little finger.
(Flashback End.)
(Current Time)
Araki let out a long sigh before closing both of his eyes and falling asleep to usher in tranquility. (At least)
(Timeskip)
The morning light shone slightly into Araki's dark room from the window. There was the sound of birds chirping from outside the window of his room. Araki wakes up and sees that the clock has struck 5:00 a.m
Araki quickly went to the bathroom to clean up. After that, he prepared breakfast for himself. He then changed his clothes into Kuoh Academy uniforms and stared at his reflection from the mirror before him.
In the reflection of the mirror in front of him, Araki can see a handsome-faced, fair-skinned young man with clean white hair. With his two eyes that are different from each other, it looks so amazing, it makes him feel a little happy about his own appearance at this moment. Although he had fallen into a deep abyss of depression, luckily he was able to get back up without leaving the slightest look full of pressure and sadness on his face.
Araki immediately put the stationery and books he had prepared into a black bag. After he felt ready, he immediately went out of the house and locked the door of his house. Araki's house is neither too big nor too small, and it doesn't look luxurious or vice versa. The house looks simple, however, the house is very comfortable for him to live alone after he lost the family figure he loved so much.
The distance between his home and Kuoh academy is not that far, so Araki decided to walk. Throughout his journey, he always ran into Kuoh Academy students who happened to be leaving for the Academy at the same time as him. They are always seen walking with a friend beside him, chatting and laughing together, what a warming sight for Araki.
Some of them even looked at him questioningly, either because of Araki's unique appearance, or he was currently walking alone. Who knows?
•(Short Timeskip)•
When he got there, Araki saw that the gate of Kuoh Academy had opened wide and around him there were many students who were either walking down the street to enter the Academy area, chatting with their friends or relaxing before the class started.
Araki walked slowly alone through the crowd of students and female students who were there. Every step he took, he clearly heard the students talking about him, but he didn't mind at all and didn't take seriously all they said about him.
"Hey, I never saw it. He looks mysterious with the glasses he wear." Said one of the girls with her face starting to turn red.
"Maybe he is a transfer student. He looks handsome even though he is wearing those glasses." The other girl added enthusiastically, looking at Araki with her two heart-shaped eyes.
Araki kept going regardless of what others said about him. He walked slowly while occasionally looking around him, which turned out to be very different from his previous expectations. It turns out that Kuoh Academy is a very large and vast Academy, no wonder making it the only favorite Academy in Kuoh City, is really amazing.
As a result of the division of his concentration, as a result Araki did not pay attention to his path at all, which would then lead him to a mistake that he had to accept. Unexpectedly, Araki suddenly felt like he had hit something that felt very soft and chewy, which made him immediately fall back and full of shock.
"Ouch!!" Sighed someone he hit.
Araki fell backwards after hitting someone so hard, even though he had previously just walked casually and slowly. Then, he immediately got up and helped the girl he hit to get back on her feet.
"Sorry, miss. I didn't pay attention to where I was going." Araki said apologetically while bowing his body to the girl in front of him.
"It's okay." The girl in front of him replied with her voice that sounded very soft.
Araki raised his gaze and saw a beautiful-looking girl with long black hair tied with an orange hair tie. Seeing the figure of the girl in front of him, inexplicably made him feel like he had known the girl before, however, he couldn't remember it at all.
"Ara.. Ara... I haven't seen you before." The girl said while smiling softly at Araki.
"Sorry, miss. I am a transfer student in this school. My name is Kazuma Araki." Araki introduced himself with a smile.
The girl standing in front of Araki is seen holding her cheeks while looking at him with a look full of interest. Meanwhile, Araki continued to maintain his gentle smile, even though he was being stared at with murderous gazes by the male students who happened to be around him.
Who wouldn't feel envious and jealous when the second most beautiful girl in Kuoh Academy was chatting together with a young man, even the second most beautiful girl looked very familiar with the figure of the white-haired young man, of course, making all the male students who saw both feel envious and jealous.
The same was true for the female students who saw Akeno's closeness to a white-haired young man they had never seen before. They also even felt a little envious of Akeno who could always easily get a handsome young man, thanks to the beauty of his face and body like an Angel.
"Ara, Ara. It's really funny, especially with the black glasses you wear. My name is Akeno Himejima." Akeno said with a small giggle while holding her two cheeks that were faintly reddened.
Araki smiled slightly while looking at the girl in front of him, not only beautiful, it seemed that this black-haired girl was a very attractive person. However, he didn't have time to talk to Akeno any longer, because there was still something important for him to sort out. Not wanting to waste any more time, in the end he decided to go to finish all his affairs first.
"Akeno-san, I'm sorry I had to go to find my class." Araki said, bending his body slightly towards Akeno.
"Do you want me to drive you tolooking for your class?" Akeno asked kindly, a gentle smile still visible on her pretty face.
"There's no need to bother, Akeno-san. I can look for it myself." Araki replied politely, gently rejecting Akeno's offer.
"All right." Akeno replied with his low voice, it also appeared that there was a slight look of disappointment on his face.
However, Araki is completely unaware of everything that Akeno feels right now. He didn't want to make that girl troublesome, especially since class was about to start, it would be a problem if Akeno was late for her class because she drove herself to guide Araki to the Student Council Building.
Akeno seems to be standing sculpted with a gloomy look on her face, making Araki who sees her, feel confused about what is happening to that girl. He also slowly swung his right palm right in front of Akeno's face, to resuscitate she from her reverie.
"Akeno-san, are you okay?" Araki asked with concern, staring at Akeno's face so intensely.
"I-I'm okay." Akeno retorted haltingly, feeling embarrassed after being stared at in such a way by Araki.
Even though the white-haired young man was wearing glasses that covered both of his eyes, she still felt blushing if Araki looked at him especially for a long period of time, making her heart beat so faster than usual.
"Alright, Akeno-san. I'm leaving first." Araki waved his hand at Akeno before continuing his journey towards the Kuoh Academy Student Council Building.
Akeno looked at Araki's distant back with her eyes full of interest and accompanied by her face that began to turn red. In her heart, she also felt that if she had seen the young man before, she even felt that she had been close to the young man, but for some reason, she couldn't remember it at all. It's really weird...
"What a handsome and funny young man." Akeno said softly while licking her lips accompanied by the red hue formed on her both cheeks.
Araki continued to walk around the Kuoh Academy, to find the location where the building was, until finally he met 2 black-haired girls who happened to be standing not far in front of him.
"I never saw you before, what business did you come here? You look weird." Asked the girl with long black hair with her voice sounding flat and cold.
The girl with long black hair was looking at him with a sharp gaze, which even made Araki feel a little frightened. The girl has a beautiful face, with a pair of blue glasses adorning her face. Although the look on her face looked so very intimidating, but all of it was unable to hide her beauty.
Araki looked at the two girls in front of him in turn before starting to bend his body towards them, then he immediately introduced himself to the two girls in front of him so as not to cause misunderstandings.
"I'm sorry for the inconvenience because of me. My name is Kazuma Araki. I am a new student at this academy." Araki said, introducing himself politely.
"Oh ... So the upcoming transfer student is you." One of the girls replied kindly, even though her voice still sounded flat.
The one who replied to Araki's words just now was a girl with short black hair who also had a very beautiful face. Different from the other girl, this girl is wearing a look that looks friendly, with a faint smile formed on her face. Not forgetting the red glasses that adorn her face, further adding to the beauty of the girl.
Araki raised his gaze back and smiled at the two black-haired girls in front of him. Meanwhile, the two girls raised their eyebrows slightly when they realized that the white-haired young man in front of him did not seem to be an ordinary human.
"It is me." Araki replied kindly while smiling broadly at the two girls in front of him.
"Sorry, we haven't introduced ourselves yet. I am Sona Sitri, the president of the student council organization. Next to me is the student council representative, Tsubaki Shinra." Sona said politely, introducing herself and her partner to Araki.
"Oh, so you guys are Miss Sitri and Miss Shinra. It also happens that I am looking for you to submit the admission documents of the students of this academy and also to take my student ID documents." Araki replied while handing over the documents he had brought to Sona and Tsubaki.
Sona and Tsubaki smiled slightly at him, when Araki was handing a white document to the two. Sona accepted Araki's document and stared at the white document she was currently holding with both hands.
"Please follow me." Sona said politely, telling Araki to follow her.
Araki walks up with Sona and Tsubaki behind and begins to look around him in amazement. Everything is arranged very neatly, without the appearance of a grain of garbage on the floor, it is really amazing.
Also, he even had time to see female students who would immediately bow their bodies when they passed Sona and Tsubaki, indicating that Sona and Tsubaki were quite important figures in this Academy.
Araki was taken to a room inside a fairly large building. The interior of the room looks to carry a Classic European theme, with a wooden table and chairs at the end of the room.
Sona sits at a wooden table in the corner of the room, and looks like she is taking a document from the desk drawer that she will then hand to Araki.
"This is all your data and your class." Sona said as she handed a brownish-white document to Araki.
Araki accepted the document with a big smile on his face, and bowed again to thank Sona and Tsubaki for helping him.
"Thank you, Miss Sitri and Miss Shinra." Araki said kindly, while continuing to smile softly at Sona and Tsubaki.
Sona and Tsubaki slowly nodded their heads quietly, meanwhile, Araki began to lower his gaze to read the document he was currently holding. Sona and Tsubaki immediately unravel a gentle smile on their faces, when they realize that Araki seems very different from the male students of this Academy who are famous for their perverted nature.
Even Sona also felt a little curious about the glasses that Araki was wearing, why the young man was wearing them and what the young man actually kept secret, she was very curious, however, she also couldn't ask directly to Araki.
Araki quickly opened the document for him to read. And unexpectedly, Araki suddenly turned his back to Sona and Tsubaki, which immediately made the curiosity of the two girls even greater.It didn't take long, Araki turned his body back and looked at Sona and Tsubaki with his eyes full of gratitude.
"Thank you for everything. I'll go." Araki waves his hand at Sona and Tsubaki because he needs to leave this room."
All right." The two simultaneously chimed in with Araki's words, and began waving each of their right hands at him.
Araki leaves the student council room and walks down the hallway to find his class and stops when he sees a class with a sign that says 2-B. He is currently seen standing in front of the class while waiting for Sensei to let him into the classroom.
Since he is a new student, he should make a self-introduction first and he also hopes that everything will go well and smoothly.
"Please come in!" There was a voice from inside the classroom telling him to go inside.
Araki, who heard it, took a deep breath and began to exhale slowly. Then, he opened the door of the classroom and began to walk in with his slow footsteps. When he was stepping in front of the class, he had heard some students talking to each other about him, some throwing curses at him, and some praising him.
"Hello, Guys. My name is Kazuma Araki. I just transferred to this Academy. Hope we can be good friends!" Araki said loudly while showing a big smile on his handsome face.
"Hey, man! Why are you wearing a black glasses? Can you see from there?" Asked one of the male students.
Hearing the question from the young man, Araki looked at the young man with a big smile still plastered on his face. It was a very good question, basically, Araki was also aware that his appearance looked very attractive and surprising, but he could not answer the young man's question, because there was a secret that he should not tell anyone.
"I'd be happy if you didn't ask about it anymore." Araki replied kindly, which immediately made the young man feel a little annoyed, but the young man decided not to ask anymore.
"Well, then. Araki, you can sit next to Issei." Sensei spoke kindly while smiling at Araki.
"Right, Sensei." Araki bowed towards the Sensei, before starting to walk slowly towards the seat next to the seat of a brown-haired young man.
Araki threw a smile of friendship at the brown-haired boy next to him, before he sat down on an empty bench that happened to be right next to him.
"Hey, man. Introduce my name's Issei Hyoudou." Said Issei kindly while thrusting his right hand at Araki.
"Oh, hello, Issei. My name is Kazuma Araki. Hope we can be good friends." Araki replied no less friendly as he started shaking hands with Issei.
"No! He is going to brainwash Araki!!" There was a screaming sound from one of the girls who saw Araki shaking hands with Issei.
"Damn you, Issei!!" The other girl jumped with annoyance, because she thought that Issei intended to dirty the Araki's mind.
"Yeah, Araki." Issei replied excitedly, accompanied by a wide grin on his face.
Araki nodded his head lightly at Issei, before turning to look ahead and watch Sensei who was explaining the lesson. Although he had seen a strange smirk on Issei's face, he did not put any suspicion on him at all. His first day at Kuoh Academy has gone smoothly, and hopefully, everything will continue to run smoothly until he finally graduates from this Academy with full of pride and happiness.
