Monday, July 2 | 0 comments
...“Congratulations once more for being accepted to this school… Setsuzoku Aozora.”
“Thank you. Please take care of me from now on.” Aozora bowed down and then… the beginning of the ending has finally started when his sky-blue eyes sparkles with innocence and curiosities.
------------------------
Aozora bowed down as a sign of respect of the Vice-Principal, while the VP just stared at him with a smile and along with a small chuckled, “Tell me, Setsuzoku-Kun… Are you a survivor of that world?” he asked directly as the letter that was given to him is the same as the weirdest invitation letter that he needs to send years ago toward the dying world, the world that filled with wars, selfish and greedy creatures. That world already died with no survivor and has completely destroyed now. That world is currently being called; The Died World.
“That World?” he asked with a question mark on his head as he stared at the VP with a smile. “Could you repeat your question, Vice-Principal?”
Without warning, the VP stumble back as a sweat rolled at his temple, feeling of regrets asking that question. It is because he saw something that he never expected to see. “Never mind. I don’t think the question is necessary to answer.” He uttered, cancelling the question for Aozora which made Aozora smiled and bowed once more. After that, silent fell before the Vice-Principal called someone’s name. “Mutsuki.”
With that, the door is opened as a young and beautiful female student that he saw in front of the Academy’s map appeared. The student has silky and long silver hair with a pair of emerald orbs, wearing female blazer-type uniform meaning she could be a first year, second or third year. However, seeing her ribbon is red coloured like his tie, which means she is definitely the same age as him. “Ah, you must be the new student. I’m Mutsuki Anya. Welcome to Ar Ciel Acdemy, Setsuzoku Aozora.” She greeted him with a small bow and Aozora also replied the bow which made Anya curved a beautiful smile on her lips.
One word; Aozora is amazed by her beauty but he snapped out of it as he turned away from the female student and looked at the Vice-principal who is about to give his speech. “Alright. For today, Mutsuki-Chan will be your guidance. She will show you your class, the Cafeteria, the library and the whole school’s building but first thing first, she will show you your dorm and room since the orientation for new students will end the day after tomorrow.”
“Umm… Vice-Principal-San… about the dorm and his room… Are you sure he—”
“Don’t worry about it. Setsuzoku-Kun will be happy to stay there. I’m sure of it.” The Vice-principal cutted Anya’s words with his comforts and confidence while Aozora just titled his head and feels kind of curious on what they are talking about. ‘What’s wrong with my dorm? Why are both of them talking about my dorm? Am I staying with a delinquent student? But VP said I will be happy about it…’ These questions keep popping on his head making him more curious like a cat would.
Nodding, Anya turns to Aozora and gave her smile, a nervous smile to him. “Shall I show you to your dorm?” she asked as she showed the way to exit the room. Aozora just simply nodded and started following her once she began to take steps to the door and away from the Vice-principal who is juts smile and waves his hand to both of them.
“Hope he will like that room… or the dormmates. It’s been a guy’s dream to stay in a place like that, right?” the VP said as he just stared at the door, waiting for something. ‘And I just found myself an extra-originally student.’ He smirked as he laid his back against the soft and comfy chair, remembering Aozora’s face when he asked ‘that’ question before Anya appeared. He’s works already done anyway so, he can just relax or doze off awhile, right? However, a few minutes later before the VP could close his eyes, loud footsteps can be heard and betting closer and closer in each seconds passed. ‘This is unexpected…’ he thought as he placed his ankle on the table, palm on chin, eyes on the door; the door that soon will be burst opened with angered new student.
“Se-setsuzoku-Kun!” Anya’s voice can be heard.
Then, as expected, the door is burst opened by an anger student named Aozora. Ignoring Anya’s begging, he stepped forward and toward the VP before slammed the table with his hands. “What is the meaning of this, Vice-Principal-San?” The blue haired student asked with his face already turned bright-red as he tried his best to stay calm but his ears are kind of hurts a little bit because of the screams; A very Loud Annoying Screams.
“What’s wrong, Setsuzoku-Kun? I just granted a wish which all male wants except… if you are a—”
“We are not in boy’s love story, V.P-SAN.” he stated and can’t the other male get the picture already? He definitely doesn’t like staying in his ‘new’ dorm. Maybe other male students would but not for him. It’s not like he hates his dormmates but it’s just… he’s feeling kinda awkward that he is the only different person staying in that place. “Why?” he asked as he place his hands on his face, covering his expression and silent fell before he stated directly, “Why am I staying in GIRL’s dorm?!” he finally burst out and tried to cover his blushes when recall what he just saw in the dorm. He almost got slapped but his reflects is too quick. So, he just dashed outside and then, straight to the Vice-principal room.
Done catching her breath, Anya stands beside the VP as she covered up for him and answered Aozora’s question, “I’m truly, sorry! I’ve told you we are out of rooms… There is one extra room in the boy’s dorm but… ” Aozora’s attention has successfully captured by Anya as he turned to her and waiting for her to explain the reason for him staying in the girl’s dorm. “The number 13 room… is the most beautiful room with full of decorations and filled with anything that you needed but as what I heard when I came here years ago… ”
“The room is haunted.” The Vice-principal continued for Anya. “You can see charms all over the room. Every night, you will hear some screams, cries or laughter. Then, you can see black shadows with crimson eyes dancing around the room. If you disturbed them… they’ll make you will get a fatal injuries not physically but mentally.” The Vice-principal explained. “There is some students who goes rushing in the room but the next day… he begged to change the rooms. We tried to exorcist the creature but the exorcisms… will fall into coma and there’s also a note from the creature said if someone disturbed the room again… They will curse the academy.”
Anya and the Vice-principal shivered in the same time when both of them recalls what happen that has connections to that room. Plus, these things didn’t happened years ago but just three years ago. “So… the principal just let that room be like that?” Aozora asked, intending to know more about this abnormal incident.
“The principal?” Anya asked with a small laughter. “You didn’t know that… the principal is also one of the seven wonder of this academy because… none of us and even Vice-principal-San has ever seen him face to face. Rumours said there is one student meet him but… rumours just stayed as rumours because there’s no prove to it.”
“True. Most of the academy’s activities are all supported by me.” The vice-principal said and feels kind of proud yet, everyone knows he has a huge burden on his shoulder. “So, are you staying in the girl’s dorm or… dig your own grave by staying in that room?”
The male student crossed his arms, thinking the purpose of him coming to this academy. He only took a few minutes to think before uttered his decision. “No, thanks VP-San. I just wanted a normal life here without getting abnormal experiences.”
Relieved by Aozora’s decision, Anya smiled softly while the VP nodded slightly before he began to speak up again, “A Wise decision, Setsuzoku-Kun. And you don’t need to worry, gender-bender is normal around here. You don’t need you act like a real girl but try not to cause a drama inside the girl’s dorm because there’s a lot of drama queen and gossip girls inside. If you have problems, just talk with the female head-dorm. Her name is Kushina Renai.” He explained the situations in the girl’s dorm before giving him the good news. “However next year, after the seniors graduate, we may able to change your room. So, can you bear it for only one year?”
“If that is a challenge, then I’ll accept it.” Aozora said confidently. What could happen in the innocent, cute, beautiful girl’s dorm, right?
After that, both of Anya and Aozora left the room, leaving the Vice-principal alone. It’s time for Anya to be guidance of this academy for the blue haired student. Before that, Anya gave the key to his room and gave him more information, “This is your key. Actually, it’s a VIP room for teachers but Hitomi-sensei already left the academy or more clearly, this world so, her room is yours. The room has the same featured with the ‘haunted’ room. Bathrooms, study table, refrigerator and so much more. It can be a room for four students but for now, the room belong only to you till the second semester.” Anya stopped talking and gave her beautiful smile once more.
“I hope you will enjoy staying there. Oh and this secret only me, Setsuzoku-Kun and VP-San knows.” she said as she placed her finger on her lips.
Nodding, Aozora placed a note in his mind that this secret should stay as a secret or something else might happen in the girl’s dorm if the secret is revealed. “Thank you, Mutsuki—”
“Just call me Anya because… we are dormmates as well as classmates. We going to see each other every day so, can we skip the formality because I think… ” Anya stopped talking and smiled beautifully once more. “We can be great friends in the future.”
Suddenly, Aozora smiled, knowing this person will be his first friend in this academy which is new to him. “Alright. Thank you, AnyaChan and you can call me Aozora. I’m here hoped the same as well.” He said as he still wearing his soft smile but anxious face inside. Then they shook their hands together as a sign of new friendship has appeared before leaving the previous place for the academy’s tour.
-CHAPTER II ENDED.
