Chapter 3: Chapter 2

We were in the courtyard of the school. In the distance, we saw two huge stadiums. Just like we gazed in awe in the dorm. All three of us just stood there and stared at the stadiums.

“Wonder what they’ll use ‘em for?” Rei asked out of the blue.

“They’ll use them for what they were built for,” a girl’s voice said aloud behind us.

We turned around simultaneously and three girls were standing behind us. The tallest of the three stood in the middle. Most likely the one who spoke out. She had brown hair and purple eyes. Like the rest of us she had a school uniform, but the girl version.

A darkish blue shirt with the Academy logo on the left side of her upper chest and a skirt the same color as the shirt, but slightly lighter. And her white socks going up to her knees. The one on her right looked almost identical with the obvious exception of her hair and eye color. Her hair was black and her eyes green.

And the girl on her left, right in front of me, seemed familiar. As I thought about it I remembered. She was the same girl who smiled at me on the bus!

I got a bit nervous. Not at the fact of girls being around me, but the fact I was too shy to talk. I tried my best to calm myself down.

”Nice to meet you!”, the girl in the middle said. “My name is Hikari Deba!”, she added. “She's Eve Mirukosa,” she pointed to her right. “And she is Haruka Munei,” she pointed to her left.

“I’m Rei Shojin."

“And I'm Kensho Yaki.”

I got even more nervous I had to introduce myself to strangers. I was failing in the area. But I gathered all the courage just to say my name.

“…I’m Hyuri Katsuyo,” I said, trying not to choke or stutter. The girls seemed to be amazed or shocked. Did they enjoy my voice?

“You have a nice voice Hyuri,” she said answering my question.

I was confused. I didn’t think my voice sounded nice at all. To these girls, I probably sounded romantic, but I had no idea what they could’ve been thinking. I just went along with it.

“T-thanks…”

I was hoping they didn’t notice my stutter. But they giggled a bit so they probably did.

“We just wanted to say hello because we’re neighbors. We're in dorm A-03,” Eve spoke for the first time.

I was so focused on not messing up my way of talking that I didn’t even notice my roommates blushing. They look like they’ve just now been talked to by a girl, but I didn’t say that out loud.

“Anyway, we’re gonna go check out the other parts of the school. Bye,” she gave a wink and a little wave. Then they walked off.

“I think my face is melting,” Kensho said faintly.

“I can relate,” Rei added. “They like you, Hyuri!”

I gave a genuine shocked expression like I just said “Huh?”.

“Why would they like me?” I asked.

“They complimented your voice,” Rei said.

"Does that really mean someone likes me though?” I replied softly.

“No idea.”

I had no real feelings for this school yet. But I hoped that'd change soon. We walked inside to check out the rest of the Academy. Our first stop was the training gym.

As we walked in we saw all sorts of equipment. Treadmills, dumbbells, etc.

“Isn’t this a bit extra for teenagers?” I asked out loud.

“I honestly don’t know. But it’s good to know we have great training equipment!” Rei replied to my question.

We all looked around a bit more than left to see the food court. There were a few students other than ourselves. They were, like earlier, in small clusters talking to each other. Once I looked back at Rei and Kensho they looked like they wanted to eat already.

“Did you guys not eat breakfast before you got here?” I asked them both.

No response. They were too busy looking at all the food stands there were to offer. Ramen, chips, soft drinks. They had it all, well almost. But it was still enough to feed the massive amount of students the Academy had.

While they were worried about food. I was worried about our classes. But that was of no meaning to them right now. I just stared at them as they drooled, probably at the thought of the food.
