New School

Life is great so far. Beautiful weather all day.

“Hey, Kizuki.”

“Yea?”

“What do you think about our new skills that we got yesterday?”

“I’m not too sure about it. It was all just so sudden for me.”

Yesterday was a nightmare but at the same time something really rare happened. Saruka got a legendary skill and I have a mythical one. I wonder what campus is going to treat us. We’re going to live there for a while anyway.

When we got to the training camp we got separated because of our classes. Sakura went to archery class and I went to my sword class. For my class, we start by learning stances which is what position you stand when you fight. Then after that, we practice the stances and do some swings. We did that for a while until a floating paper popped out of nowhere. It was hovering like a foot in front of me saying.

Kizuki Kanto: Swordsman: Rank F: Level Up: Level 1

Then other students start getting a floating paper as well.

“STUDENTS. You have all leveled up! That piece of paper indicates that you leveled up. Oh and by the way, for the future skill you will learn. They will have levels as well. You can check your status with a specific move that I will teach you later.” Chief James was always on top of his class. Watching over each and every one of us like we all mean something. That makes me pretty happy because I was never looked at from the start of my birth until now.

Chief James continued,” We will be starting with skills right after we are all done with the stances. And then the upcoming part is going to be duels!”

He seems pretty excited about duels for a man who's been training kids for quite a long time. We continued training till the end of class where we got assigned our rooms. 2nd floor, room 203. Ok, got it. As I headed upstairs, one kid bumped into me.

“Sorry, just trying to get into my room.”

What a weird kid, no need to fuss over a bump. I headed towards my room with my head down. Today was actually really fun. We actually do use swords! This was so much better than what I got back at Kresent. That school taught nothing but crap. Sigh, I wonder if anyone is worried about me. Maybe I can wake up back to my world, but that means I’ll be missing classes here. Ah yes, the strict schedule. I entered my room to be greeted by two familiar faces. Sakura and the kid who bumped at me when I was walking up the stairs.

“Oh, hi Kizuki! Didn’t know we’re going to be together in the same room!”

“Uh, yea.”

Then there’s that other person. Nice, another girl dressed like Sakura. People really need to cover themselves in this world. Now I’m actually thinking about going home for once.

The person who bumped me said, “Nice to meet you, I’m Kenneth! Your name is Kizuki right?”

Yea no sh*t it’s Kizuki. She just said it.

“Uh yea, that's me.”

“Hey, I saw that you were really good at handling the sword. Can you teach me a thing or two?”

“Kenneth I’m not too sure about that. I just started like you.”

“Yea, you’re right. Sorry for bothering you.”

“Nah, that’s not a problem.”

This Kenneth kid acts way too nice. I wish everyone back on my planet was just as nice. Me and Kenneth kept talking for a while Sakura and Alyssa (the other girl) chatted.

There were two bunkers. The left one for the boys and the right one for the girls, we decided on that. I took the top part of the bunker while Kenneth took the bottom. Sakura took the bottom and Alyssa took the top. Night came and we shut off the lights.

I almost had no time to write in this freaking diary because all of them were half asleep and I didn’t want to bother them. Well, that’s today. I gotta admit I do feel a little drowsy as well. Good night.

Ah god, my head hurts. I had the weirdest and wildest dream in my entire life! Yesterday while dreaming I remembered that I got back into my old room and I fell on to the floor. Everyone was shocked that I was on the floor. I didn’t get why but it seems like they were not expecting me to be there! My vision suddenly got blurry after that and I woke up. I felt the same places hurt like how I fell in the dream. I’m not so sure if that was a dream or not because it seemed too real for me.

I woke up and saw that everyone was eating.

“Why didn’t u guys call me?”

“Oh sorry, it’s just that me, Sakura, and Alyssa were wide awake. We were bored so we decided to make breakfast and wait for you to wake up.”

“Yea Alyssa really wanted to do something other than sitting on her bed.”

“Yea I guess.”

I changed my clothes and went to the table. Oh and I forgot to mention, every room has a kitchen of their own so then they can learn how to cook. It has other stuff a common house would have back on Earth. I’m not used to it but I can at least understand what to do and what items are what.

I took a bit of the bacon and egg Alyssa made. Wow… It’s actually good! I didn’t realize that I was that hungry until I started eating this!

“What do you think about my cooking?”

Her face was slightly red like she was blushing. Eh, maybe she’s just nervous.

“It’s honestly really good! I haven’t eaten anything this good in a long time!”

“Really? I’ll be glad to make some more if you like.”

“No, I’m fine. Oh, and class is about to start as well so we better hurry.”

Class was really about to start. We only had like 10 more minutes before class started. I told Alyssa that I’ll take care of the dishes. Kenneth came to help me. 8 more minutes left.

“Kenneth, actually run or else we won’t make it.”

“I CAN’T RUN THAT FAST KIZUKI! WAIT UP!”

“LAST ONE TO GET THERE IS A ROTTEN EGG. SO PICK UP YOUR LEGS KENNETH!”

6 minutes. Ow, running down the stairs is such a hassle.

“HOW MUCH MORE DO WE HAVE TO RUN KIZUKI!”

“WE TURN A RIGHT AFTER GOING TO THE FIRST FLOOR AND THEN TURN A LEFT.”

“OK THANK YOU!”

“KENNETH WE HAVE NO TIME TO THANK EACH OTHER IN THIS SITUATION!”

3 minutes left.

2 minutes left.

1 minute left.

Kenneth and Kizuki both came to class drenched with sweat.

“Oh look what we have here! What happened to both of you younglings?”

“Sorry Cheif James, me and Kenneth were trying to finish washing the dishes when the rest left.”

“Yea, we had a lot of stuff going on and lost track of time.”

“It’s fine. At least you got in class on time. Now both of you get to your seats.”

Thank god this teacher is nice. This class is perfect for me. I wonder if that dream yesterday was really me going back home. Can I go to different universes? Or was I just dreaming this entire time and that this life is a lie?

“KIZUKI! ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION?”

“Uh.. YES SIR I AM!”

“GOOD NOW DEMONSTRATE THE SKILL THAT I HAD SHOWN YOU. ONLY THE MOVEMENTS IS FINE.”

I did take slight notice when Chief James did it. His sword was 2 inches behind his ear, having a 45 degree angle and his legs in an athletic stance looking at the target he was facing. And he boosted forward letting his back leg extend and his front leg pushing him then following that comes with a swing that was charged while holding it at the back.

I went up to the stage that Chief James was on. I tried to mimic every step and tried to force power into the sword that I was holding. I closed my eyes. 1 second.. 2 seconds.. 3 seconds… I opened them, and with a flash the sword suddenly got enhanced with power starting from the bottom to the tip of the sword. I boosted forward and sliced the dummy in half.

“I haven’t taught you anything like that. Where did you learn it?”

“Honestly, I’m as shocked as you are. I was just trying to copy you.”

The class applauded. Kenneth also applauded even though we are absolute strangers to each other. He was at the corner smiling. I smiled back at him. I was able to have a one on one with one student that I will pick. I choose Kenneth because why not. He was a good guy so I’ll do something good in return.

It took him ages to get it. I was drenched in sweat running around him trying to correct his mistakes. We laughed it off. It was really nice to have someone who enjoys being around you.
