Welp after Nich and Hatsu taking down over 30 people. They finally set sail for the school. Nichi was fishing with Carver and Hatsu and Liz were sleeping. Clear skies and clear water. And super fresh air.
"This is nice and relaxing." Nichi let the wind wash over him.
"It really is." Carver did the same.
They fished for a few hours then the clouds started coming in.
"Such dark clouds." Nichi still felt relaxed.
"Did you feel it?" Carver asked.
"I did. So we should probably do something right?" When Nichi said that a Demon shark the size of 4 Megalodons came shooting out of the water! The shark landed back in the water and made a huge wave.
"I call dibs!" Nichi got hyped up after seeing how big the shark was.
"Yall got any spears!?" Nichi asked the crewmates they nodded then brought out a ton of spears.
"Give rope as well!" Nichi had to shout over the heavy rain that started pouring down.
They hurried up and brought it to him.
"What are you going to do!?" one of the crewmates asked.
"...I'mma Catch that damn fish." Nichi had his crazy smile on.
"You're just a kid!"
"And you're an adult! What's your point!?" Nichi made the Crew mat silent.
Nichi went and stood at the front of the boat. And he waited with his spear and rope in hand. He took a deep breath and focus. Everything went silent and he closed his eyes...
"THERE!!" Nichi shouted then opened his eyes and threw the spear and it went directly into the shark's tail. Nichi hurried and put a barrier on the ground where he stood and wrapped the rope around his hand.
"GET READY!!" Nichi yelled loud enough for everybody to hear. Suddenly the boat went zooming forward from the shark dragging them by the rope.
"That's what I'm talking about!! Hand me another spear!" Nichi held his hand out as the crewmate tossed him another.
"Let's aim...Riiight THERE!" Nichi hurled another spare at the shark! They started to move even faster! Everybody was holding on for dear life. Except for Carver and Nichi of course.
"Is that all you got, you catfish!! HAHAHAHA!!" Nichi's crazy laugh gave everybody chills as the wind from the speed was almost knocking people off!
"I need another spear!!" Nichi said reaching out his hand but the crewmate was too scared to let go of the thing he was holding onto.
"Here!" Suddenly Carver tossed Nichi a spear.
"Thanks! Now let's end this!!" Nichi aimed the spear and this time threw it a little harder and sent the spear through the shark destroying its heart. The shark was down. Sorry, Gawer.
"Victory!!" Nichi shouted to the crewmates and put his thumb and index finger into the air. as the boat slowed down.
"Yeah!!" The crew cheered and did the same.
They ended up having to chop the shark into pieces to get it on the boat. The bones were given to Nichi to sell or do whatever with.
"What's going on?" Liz and Hatsu said walking up to the deck yawning.
"Looks like you guys slept through all of that." Carver chuckled a bit. Liz and Hatsu were just confused.
Anyway, because of the shark, they would be arriving at the dock in 6hrs. Isn't nature so helpful? When they arrived at the dock Nichi ended up only taking a few bones and let the crew have the rest.
"We finally made it," Hatsu said, stretching.
"I'm ready!" Nichi jumped from side to side.
"Ok, we're going this way." Carver pointed to the path that used to be dirt but now was a wood plank path.
"Remember guys. Don't show any more strength than you have to starting now." Liz told Nichi and Hatsu.
"Right." Nichi and Hatsu nodded.
They headed to where the slums used to be. It wasn't the slums anymore. The entrances were fixed. And it was full of houses. And trees and flowers were planted. They even had some food shops and just regular shops. It was a village. It had gotten bigger as well. They had inns as well and that's where they decided to stay. This place came out of the dirt.
In the inn room...
"Alright, guys as of tomorrow we will be splitting up. We will be sending you off to school in the morning and me and your mom have some things to do." Carver explained.
"Where is the school actually at?" Nichi asked.
"It's not in the village. It's on the other side of that kingdom on an island attached by a bridge. That's where you'll be living there for a while." Carver pulled out a map and showed it to them.
"What will you guys be doing?" Hatsu asked.
"Welp me and your dad plan on becoming S rank bounty hunters then he has a plan from there. Anyway, get some sleep, you guys have your first-day tomorrow. My and your dad need to go do something." Liz explained then she walked to the door and waved goodbye and smiled. Carver did the same. Then they shut the door.
Later on when Nichi and Hatsu were in bed.
"...What do you think school is going to be like?" Hatsu asked.
"I really don't know. I think that's why this is so exciting. Let's try not to get into too much trouble." Nichi grinned.
"Tell that to you and you alone. I'm a good girl."
"Cap." Nichi used slang for that's a lie for all the confused people out there.
"No cap," Hatsu responded, turning away on her own bed.
"Let's just get some sleep." Nichi closed his eyes and went to sleep.
They both went to sleep...
The moon shined down bright. And millions of stars lit the sky. A calm nice night to fall asleep.
The morning at sunrise...
"Get up you guys." Liz pulled the covers off Nichi and Hatsu.
Carver quickly covers Nichi back up.
"It's morning time. Boy's can't just be walking around. Morning wood in all. This is how you do it." Carver stood over Nichi...Then slapped him in the face!
"Oww!!" Nichi shot up! "You couldn't have just shaken me awake!"
"Look's like Hatsu is still asleep. Handle that Liz." When Carver said that Liz jumped over Nichi and Slapped Hatsu awake.
"I'm up!" Hatsu shot up as well.
"Both of you get up. It's your first day of school."
They both got out of bed and got dressed. After that, they headed outside to the fresh morning air. With a beautiful sunrise. A slight warm breeze.
"Alright, guys it's time for us to part ways..." Carver's voice was more serious.
"We can't come with you to school. We have things to do. So this is the last time we're all going to be like this for a while. I have no words of encouragement. Just be you. That's all."
"My little babies going off to school. It's a lot to handle." Liz hugged both of them. Carver joined in the hug.
After a little, they let go.
"Now get to school before you're late." Liz wiped a tear away.
They both smiled and nodded then ran away in the opposite direction.
"I'm gonna miss them." Liz hugged Carver.
"I'll miss them too. We'll see them again. But for right now we have the stuff to do. Let's work hard." Carver gave a reassuring smile.
"Yeah." Liz nodded.
Meanwhile, Nichi and Hatsu running to the school...
"So we have to go into the kingdom and through that gate...Ok got it! It's Follow the leader time Hatsu!" Nichi said as they started up the path to the kingdom.
They ran through the main gate. Then ran and jumped over people that looked imported and kept running, not paying them any mind. Nichi ran down and an ally then jumped wall to wall until he reached the top. Hatsu was right behind him. They ran jumping from building to building. Then they flipped off the last building and rolled right in front of the gate to the bridge of the school.
"Woah...Schools in manga weren't this big. From on the boat, I thought it was a part of the kingdom" Nichi Looked shocked.
"I did too! It's huge!"
You'll get a better idea of how big the school is in a little.
Suddenly the gates opened allowing them to walk side by side. They walk across the bridge onto a dirt path surrounded by trees. The tree's finally clear and what they saw was breathtaking. On the side of them two larger buildings on the opposite of a huge park-like thing. Kinda like New York park, just smaller and barely any trees. Instead, there are benches and Light poles that are powered by Iracuj. And the 2 buildings on the opposite of the park look like Bellagio hotels. They also had a big fountain at the end of the park. And a stone path all the way down the middle. And in front of them a huge school.
"This is incredible..." Hatsu was almost at a loss for words
"Hello there." A sliver hair girl in a maid outfit greeted them. She looked like she had no emotions. She was about Nichi's shoulder in height. She looked to only be 16.
"Hello, pretty lady," Nichi responded.
"I am the maid sent to take you around campus and get you into school uniforms. Follow me please." The maid walks past them and leads them into the school and the ground is made out of marble.
"This is so cool! Look at the design! Look at the walls!" Hatsu was all over the art. Inspecting the ground with her face nearly on the ground.
"This is so cool." Nichi looked around but not like Hatsu was.
"So where is all the people at?" Nichi asked the maid.
"They are all currently in class-" Suddenly a boy with black messy hair and glasses came running down the hallway with tears in his eyes. He ran right past them and out of the school.
"Damn. Wonder what happened to him." Nichi looked back as the boy ran away.
"It must had been terrible."
"Come on, we have no time to waste." The maid was less worried than Nichi and Hatsu.
"Are you sure? He looked pretty upset." Nichi asked.
"Yes, I'm sure. My job is to not take care of anybody but you and her" Her steel emotionless face didn't change.
Nichi and Hatsu just looked at each other in silence.
The maid leads both to different rooms at the end of the hallway where they changed into the school uniform. Black pants a red button-up shirt with a black vest over it. And for the girls, they got a black skirt and the same top half.
"Your parent's asked for you guys to be enrolled in F class. So from this day on you are F class students." The maid explained.
"What does F class mean? Hatsu asked.
"There are many different classes for each year you are in. Right now you are F class 1st year. You are with the students that have almost absolutely no Iracuj. 1 up from F is D then C, B, A, S, and SS. You guys are below everybody." When the maid explained this Nichi and Hatsu didn't even care if they were F rank.
"Eh, Whatever. So you're going to show us to our class?" Nichi asked
"Yes. Please follow me." She Turned around and walked a few steps to the slide open doors right behind them. The sign above it said F and it was cracked and messed up.
"Oh, it was right behind us." Hatsu almost walked into the wall.
"This is where we part ways. Goodbye." The maid bowed and walked away.
"Alright let's do this." Nichi opened the door and walked in. Hatsu followed.
"You guys must be the transfer students. Come to the front and introduce yourselves." The teacher had pink curly hair and purple tips.
"Yo, I'm Nichi. Good to be here."
"I'm Hatsu. Nice to meet you all."
"Alright, you two may sit wherever there is an open seat." The Pink hair teacher had a very happy flower aura to her. She seemed like she is always smiling.
Nichi got a window seat and Hatsu sat behind him.
"Alright, class today we will be learning how to focus your Iracuj through your body! Everybody ready!? Leeet's go!" She spoke as if she was cheering them on.
"Wait that's it? Too easy. Maybe I should just go to sleep." Nichi thought to himself.
"Ms.Tala I get that you want us to get better. But what hope is there? The royals are born with a huge amount of Iracuj while we are born with almost none." A girl with brown hair ponytail asked.
"Sasha that's a bad way to think. All because you weren't born with privilege don't mean you lose."
"Yeah whatever you say." Sasha put her head down.
Nichi felt it when he first stepped into the room. It was a feeling of gloom.
"This is depressing," Nichi said resting his head on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry your first days have to be like this." Tala tried to keep a smile. Nichi saw that it was hard though. He wanted to change the subject quickly.
"So you said we are learning how to spread Iracuj through our body? I'm not very good at it but if you give me a few pointers It would help." Nichi was lying. He learned that when he was 3.
Tala's eyes lit up with excitement.
"Alright! So we start with this!" Tala was teaching happily again. Nobody likes a sad Tala.
"Looks like she's happy again. Guess I'll just act like I'm learning." Nichi thought to himself.
Well, the bell rings and it came time for lunch.
"Alright everybody, have a great day!" Tala said as everybody left.
Nichi and Hatsu walked out and the maid was standing there.
"Oh, whatsapp," Nichi said.
"I am here to guide you two to the lunchroom. Follow me." The maid leads them up kinda crowded stairs as all the first years head to lunch. And on the second story was a straight hallway left to right each of the ways leading to stairs. And In front of them were 2 doors that lead them to a Big Lunchroom. It had big beautiful windows and chandlers. Booths were under the window and other places to sit were circle round tables.
"Damn this place nice! Look at those things hanging from the ceiling!" It seems Hatsu is a geek for everything design related.
"This is the lunchroom. You can sit down anywhere that is free and somebody will take your order." The maid explained.
"You feel like eating with us...what's your name?" Nichi asked the maid.
"My name is Argenti. And no I can not eat with you. I have to work. Goodbye." And with her cold face, she turned and left.
"Damn she is like a stone. Kinda like it." Nichi smiled then found a seat with Hatsu. They sat in a booth.
"There aren't that many people in the lunchroom. Maybe you can eat wherever you want." Nichi said to Hatsu but she was to focus on the design of the table.
A maid walked over to them.
"Hi I'm Tosho and I'll be your server today." She looked like she had to practice that.
"Do you guys have spaghetti?" Nichi asked.
"Yeah, we do. And for you?" The maid asked Hatsu.
"Chicken and water." Some weird orders.
"Alright! I'll be back with those orders." She turned and walked away.
"This is nice...You stay here and do whatever you're doing to this table and I'm gonna look around real quick." Hatsu was too busy rubbing the table to pay attention. Nichi walked past a boof and overheard an Interesting conversation so he sat in the booth next to them. It was 3 dudes and 1 girl with dark green hair in the boof.
"I kinda feel bad for the poor loser." Jock 1 chuckled.
"He should have known to stay in his lane. Damn F class." Jock 2 said.
"I should have never even let that fucking dumbass kiss me. And he would have licked my boots if I asked him to." The girl in the middle said with an evil smile.
"He ran out of the room crying! I wonder if he'll come back to school." Jock 3 smiled as well.
"Could they be talking about that black hair guy we saw on our way to get school uniforms? It seems very likely. I wonder what happened." Nichi got up and tried to walk past to go sit down with Hatsu again.
Then Suddenly a jock1 stuck his foot out and tried to trip Nichi. Nichi just walked around without batting an eye.
"Hey, you almost stepped on my foot!" Jock 1 stood up.
"I did? My bad bro." And with that Nichi tried to turn and walk away.
"Hey, I'm still talking to you!" Jock 1 grabbed Nichi's shoulder.
"Alright then. What do you want." Nichi was not intimidated at all.
Jock 1 was getting mad with how calm Nichi was.
"How about I teach you a lesson about watching where you're going?" Jock 1 cracked his knuckles and smiled sinisterly.
"...Na, I'm good. Thanks for the offer though." And with that Nichi turned and tried to walk away again. But this fucking guy stops him again.
"Do you know what class I'm in!?" The jock shouted.
"No." And Nichi was still calm.
"I'm a Class B student! What class are you in!?"
"A class with a nice teacher. She is kinda cute too."
"I mean your rank!"
Nichi just looked at the Jock then noticed his food was coming.
"My food almost at my table so see yeah." Nichi smiled and turned around and walked away.
The jock couldn't even get a reaction out of Nichi.
"That guy was weird." Jock 2 said.
Welp after lunch they went back to class and started "learning" again. Then the bell rung for school getting out.
Nichi went up to Tala.
"Tala. So I was wondering. Is there a black hair boy with glasses that's in your class?" Nichi asked.
"Oh, you must mean Tomo? He's a really good kid! But he didn't show up to class today after he went to the bathroom. I'm kinda worried. Why? Have you seen him?"
"Yeah, I did. He looked like he was upset and ran out of the school."
"Oh no that's terrible! He's such a good kid as well. Wonder what made him upset." Tala messed with her hair. It was an emotional reflex.
"Well if I see him I'll check on him. See ya." Nichi turned and walked out to where Argenti and Hatsu were waiting.
"Alright, I will show both of you to your dorm rooms now. Follow me please." Argenti leads them out of the school to that park with the big buildings.
"On the left is the girl's dorm. And on the right is the boy's dorm. I will guide you to the dorm first Ms."
"You can just call me Hatsu."
"Oh yeah, and my name is Nichi."
Argenti just nodded her head then guided Hatsu to the girl's dorm first and Nichi had to wait outside.
"This is your room...Hatsu. Here's your key. Goodbye." Argenti bowed her head a little and left.
"Thank you. Bye." Hatsu waved. Then went inside her room. It looked like an apartment. It has a slide open glass door that led to the balcony. 2-bedrooms and a small kitchen. It also had carpet. The living room had no furniture. Hatsu took off her shoes at the front of the door and set her bag down next to a wall. It was really dark in the room with only the kitchen light on and the cartons closed. Then a girl came out of one of the rooms.
"Oh...You must be my roommate." She had a scratchy voice and bags under her eyes. And her black hair with gray at the tips was going over her face.
"Yeah, my name is Hatsu. Good to meet ya." Hatsu smiled and tried to be friendly.
"...I'm Clowy." She didn't even try to act happy.
Hatsu looked at the kitchen and saw a refrigerator. She walked over to it and opened it.
"Dad made something like this back home. It looks like the fridge is full of food. Do you ever cook any of it?" Hatsu asked Clowy.
"...No."
"So I guess they probably got places you can eat around here. You don't seem like the type to eat out though. Maybe they deliver it to you." Hatsu tried not to think about it too much.
"I'll tell you what. You go relax and I'm gonna make dinner."
"...Fine." Clowy went back into her room and laid down.
"Alright, let's do this!" Hatsu put on an apron and got to cooking.
Meanwhile on the outside of the Girl's dorm...
"I have returned," Argenti said walking down the stairs of the girl's dorm entrance.
"Nice. Hey, are your feet alright?" Nichi asked her.
"Why do you ask?"
"You've been walking around all day. You know what hop on." Nichi got down on one knee and turned around.
"What are you doing?"
"Get on. I'm gonna carry you the rest of the way." Nichi just sat there in a ready position.
"..." Argenti and her steel face didn't know what to say. She went over to Nichi and got on his back.
"Alright tell me where we heading. I'm gonna close my eyes. I'm trusting you." Nichi stood up and began walking.
"Ok. Walk forward...Now turn right... Now left and keep going straight to I say stop."
"Argenti, you are really cool," Nichi said smiling.
"Why do you say that?"
"Well, you seem like a calm person. And you seem to be open to ideas. I doubt many people would have just got on my back."
"You wanted to help me. And I accepted. I didn't do anything special."
"The fact that you go by what you want is cool all on its own. There's not many people who can do that. I fux with you." Nichi still had his eyes closed smiling and walking.
"You fux with me?"
"It means like I think you're cool. Or nice to be around. Or if we are saying goodbye and I say "I'mma fux with you." Means I'll see ya later."
"I've never heard anything like this. It's Interesting. I guess I fux with you." When Nichi heard her say this he started giggling.
"You sound a little stiff when you say it but you got the spirit."
"Stop. You should open your eyes now." Argenti still didn't get off his back though.
"Alright. You still have to guide me through."
Argenti nodded then she guided him to the stairs. Even though there was an elevator.
"So what do you do for fun?" Nichi asked her while going up the stairs.
"I like to read."
"Oh! Do you like manga?" Nichi asked.
"I do enjoy manga."
"Niiice. What's your favorite?"
"berserk."
"Dark tasted. But respectable." They talked until he reached his floor and then reached his door.
"This is your stop...I'll fux with you. Was that right?"
"Once when you get used to saying it you won't sound stiff. Try to relax." Nichi smiled and put her down.
"Ight den. See ya." Nichi got his key then went inside. The room was the same as Hatsu's. Except for the fact that there was a guy laying on the floor. In the middle of the living room.
"Ay, bro you good?" Nichi asked while taking off his shoes.
Nichi walked over to him and shook him. "Ay bro get up. Oh, it's you." It was the boy they saw run out of school.
"Oh...you must be my new roommate." The guy looked sad as shit.
"Ay man. I'm not into dudes but if you need a hug I got you. You look awful." Nichi crouched down next to him.
"It's alright I'm fine. My name is Tomo. The weakest person in the school."
"Nice to meet ya. I'm Nichi. I don't really care how strong you are by the way. Come on man tell me. What got you laying on the floor like this?" Nichi helps him sit up.
"...A girl. Everybody probably knows anyway so I'll tell you the story."
Meanwhile at Hatsu dorm.
"Finished. Dinners ready!" Hatsu yelled loud enough for Clowy to hear her.
Clowy sniffed. "It smells good..." Clowy got out of the bed and walked out to the food.
"It's fried fish and spaghetti! My special. Try some and tell me if you like it." Hatsu smiled and slid a plate to her.
Clowy picked up the piece of fish and her and took a small bite. Then...her eyes filled with light and tears filled her eyes. Then she started scarfing down the fish but still savoring each inch.
"I guess that means you liked it?" Hatsu smiled not really knowing what to say.
"I can taste it. And it's amazing." Clowy wiped her tears.
Hatsu smiled "Thanks. After you finish that plate there is more. Come sit and eat with me." Hatsu grabbed her plate and went to the couch. Clowy grabbed more fish and sat down with Hatsu.
"You looked hungry. Why aren't you eating?" Hatsu took a bite of her food.
"...When I was six I went through... something. It made food hard to eat. It also made me unable to taste." Clowy looked even sadder than usual.
"...If you don't feel like talking about then how bout we just eat and talk about something else?" Hatsu kept a smile for her and Clowy.
"...Ok."
Congratulation
