Finally the day they were supposed to go to the academy arrived. Early in the mornin, Fumia and Taukasa are getting ready to go to the academy, Taukasa putting on his uniform from the bathroom.
'You know we're both guys right?' Fumia says yo him
'yeah I do.'
'then why are you dressing up from the bathroom like one of us has a different kind of tool?'
'I don't feel obligated to answer that question.'
'Sure man.'
They finish getting ready and meet up with everyone else. At the reception of the hotel, Coper greets them.
'Goodmorning sir.' they say in unison.
'Hope everyone had. Great night because today you're going to have a terrible day.'
Taukasa womders to himself why this guy always seems so negative sometimes. They all get in the van and he begins taking them to the academy where they will trin to become sparks.
On the way there, they chat about how each of them think their first day is going to go.
'I wonder how big the school we're going to is,' Nana says.
'Yea! I bet they've got some crazy strong sports teams too,' Fumia says enthusiastically.
'Wht about you Tsuki?,' Kijiri asks.
'What d you mean?' He responded.
'Wht do you think our new school is going to be like,?'
He stays silent for a moment, staring out the window intently before looking back at her.
'I don't really know,'
Kijiri looks disappointed t the rather anticlimactic answer.
'Wge we're still with you, I have a few questions about the school we're going to,'
Kaede says, looking in cooler's direction.
'Well what are you waiting for?' He says,'ask about anything.'
'First off, where are we going exactly?'
' you're heading to the second junior spark academy, Aoyama Academy. There you'll spend the next four months learning how to become sparks. Anything else?'
'yea actually,' Shinomiya says,'why is it that all the Junior spark academies are enrolling so many new students. Along with the fact that they're now enrolling seniirs and juniors in the same year?'
Cooper stays silent For a moment.
' That's because the Tokyo branch of the Global spark extermination corps is trying out a new system. Nothing too serious.'
There's a short silence that follows his answer.
' Well if those are all your questions then get ready to be amazed,' Cooper says looking to his left.
Everyone else follows suit and their eyes widen I'm pure shock. The see and incredibly large, stadium like building, surrounding it is a field of grass, paths, other smaller buildings and sports fields. They are all starstruck for a moment. Even the ever aloof Shinomiya showed a hint of surprisee on her face.
'welcom, dear students, to the Aoyama junior spark academy. The second to be built in Tokyo and founded by Hugo Aoyama.'
While they approach the front gate, they see a silver statue of a man, sword on his back and. Lotus flower pendant on his chest.
' Alright alright, save the sight seeing for later. Right now we have to register you guys as students,' Cooper tells them.
They head over to one of the smaller buildings and Cooper tells them all to wait while he speaks to the person inside.
' This place is awesome! Right Taukasa?' Fumia says.
' I mean.... It's definitely more than I was expecting, it's insanely huge too.'
'Right~? Ooh I can't wait to see what kind of people re here at the academy,' Nana says.
' Hopefully they won't treat us weird for transferring I'm this time of the semester,' Kaede adds.
'Relax, it'll be fine,' Kijiri says to her.
As the group talks about how blown away they are. Along with their expectations for their school life, Shinomiya points something out.
' Wait.. where's Homura guys?'
We the see Homura wandering around the school, "aimlessly", but at the same time, it's as if he is being guided by something.
' That idiot, how's he gotten lost already? We literally just got here.' Shinomiya complains
' Relax, I'll go find him,' Taukasa tells the group.
Shinomiya looks him up and down.
' Well then you'd better hurry up and find him.'
And with that, Taukasa goes to find Homura.
He walks around this school for a bit, not even knowing where to start. He then remembers that. There is one thing that Homura seems to be quite fond of, so he begins looking for it.
Meanwhile, Homura is still walking around in his teance-like state. After a bit of time, as he is walking down a hallway, someone calls out to him.
'Hey!'
He turns and sees a silhouette that appears to be facing him, looking at him with murderous eyes.
' What are you doing here?'
He stands there confused. This silhouette then begins running at him.
Back with Taukasa, he too keeps wandering the huge hallways, wondering how he hasn't come across any classes yet. He then hears a sound. A melody. Or perhaps a song. It doesn't sound familiar at all, but he decides to follow the sound. As he approaches the sound, the music getting louder with each step he takes, he finds himself outside the room the music seems to be coming from.
' So they have a music club here too.' He says to himself. He opens the door, sunlight flashing in his eyes as he does so. When he walks in, the music stops abruptly.
'oh?' someone says. Their voice clearly a female.
He looks up to see girl with glasses, her hair just above her shoulders, red in colour. Her hair flows in the wind as he stares at her.
' And who might you be?' she asks him.
' Oh... Um.... I'm, Murusaki Taukasa, from saijou high school,'
' Oh. So you're that Murusaki.'
' Pardon me asking but when you say "that" Murusaki, does that mean we know each other?'
' Well not necessarily,' she says as she stands from her seat,' allow me to introduce myself. I'm Serena Fetheràll, also from saijou high school,'
Taukasa then realizes that she is the eighth student from their school.
' I get that we're from the same school bd lal but that doesn't answer the question of how you know who I am.'
She responds with:' There's just been some talk bout you around the school. Plus we were in the same grade.'
He glances at the piano and notices that she wasn't reading any script or song.
' I see you play the piano.'
' Yes I do. My caregiver sys I have quite the nack for it.'
' I agree, though, if you don't mind me asking, what song were you playing?'
' oh. You noticed I wasn't using a score. Are you the observant type?'
'more or less I would say.'
She stares at the piano blankly before she gives him the answer to his initial question.
' It was a song that my late mother used to sing to me,'
' My condolences,'
' No need. It's not like there was anything anyone could have done.'
Thoug she says it's nothing, there is a certain look on her face, though the emotion behind the expression was unclear.
Taukasa then opts to ask another question.
' If you know where the music room is, then do you by my chance know where the food court is?'
A little later, we see Cooper come back from his talk with the person inside the office.
' Is everyone ready for the second assessment?'
' second assessment? What do you mean by that?' kaede asks
Cooper responds:' you didn't really think that little test was enough to get you accepted right? There are three more challenges you have to pass in order to officially be members of Aoyama academy.'
The group is quite shocked at this sudden turn, but this shock is short lived as they are now even more excited then before.
' But wait... Where's Tsuki and Homura?' Kijiri asks.
Right as she asks this question, Taukasa, Homusa and Serena all approach the group.
' There you are! I was starting to think you got lost,' Fumia tells Taukasa, ruffling his hair in the process
Taukasa responds:' Well I did actually get lost, but She helped me get here.' he says, gesturing to Serena. The rest of the group, having not met her yet, are confused.
'please, allow me to introduce myself, I am Serena Fetheràll, but please, call me Serena. And I will also be part of your team from now on.'
Cooper then chimes in:' Well. Now that that's all settled. Let's head towards the first part of the second assessment.'
As they walk towards the location. Fumia asks Taukasa where he found Homura.
'Oh. Serena lead me to the food court and that's where we found him,'
'figures. That guys is always eating.'
