Chapter 19: First Day of School

Eader was patiently sitting on his table, he already got the lunch from the cafeteria. That place was a nightmare. You had the expensive food for the people with exquisite taste, and people that just bought sandwiches from the other shop, and the wealthy people might give a look, but it was fine; the sandwiches taste crunchy which was nice with a squishy filling, gratifying him.

He could remember the taste, it was pleasant. Then a girl was talking, but about him. Actually it was the girl that bumped into him. He could not hear all, but he concentrated, hearing only a few words, "Hey,.... Boy…. Guy…. Weird," then he just gave up listening.

They had 10 minutes left, so he thought about how to kill time. He just wanted to go where the tracker was.

He glanced around, trying to find something entertaining. There were a few people in the room. All doing their own stuff, a few new people like him and people that came from section two.

Then something which surprised him was that Mythra came in and behind her were two girls and boys. He hid his head. Everybody looked at her, more with surprise.

"Ok, let's go to the next class," she then turned and walked out. They followed her out.

"Why was she in here?" the girl spoke with great surprise, the people in the room also wondered, since they all knew who she actually was- except for Eader. He just shrugged it off.

However, when he looked up, he saw Evalynn. They both made eye contact and she simply smiled. One of the boys mentioned it when she did that and they started speaking.

He turned and the guy who was behind him talking came in. Eader did not want to talk to him so he stood up and spoke with the guys mentioning Evalynn.

I regret this.

He smiled, almost breaking his teeth.

It was almost the end of the final lesson of the day, the teacher then told all of the students to get up, and follow her, all in each row, of course, a few kids moved to be next to their friends. Eader was at the front, since in the first row. They walked through the building to an enormous hall. There were a few other classes already there lining.

After a minute all classes were lined up, then when all arrived, a familiar person appeared.

A year 3 girl came onto the podium- Pyra.

Everybody gave a reaction, a positive one.

The boys said she was beautiful, the girls admired her.

"Who? What?" the a boy behind him, brown skinned, had black hair, asian and wore glasses (obviously made it in by his grades) asked, "do you not know who she is?"

Eader noticed that it was the guy who he talked to in the morning.

He was too flabbergasted to answer, so he shook his head.

"She is the daughter of the head of Woodjin foundation, Pyra Woodjin, she also is one of the best sword women in this section, coming first place last year in the female division, it was amazing," when he finished, he brought his glasses- showing how smart he is.

He twitched his eye.

This girl insulting me for being small, wow.

"She is also feisty, and her magic power is-"

"Ok, ok, I get it, thank you," he said, starting to whisper.

Pyra started her speech with a boy next to her.

"What's your name?" he silently asked, surprising Eader.

"It's Eader, what's yours?"

"It's Samuel, pleasure to meet you."

Abruptly, a quiet voice called them. It was the teacher, "you two, be quiet."

They stayed quiet. Pyra kept on going on and then there was a guy next to her. He started speaking. He stared at Eader and Samuel for speaking while Pyra spoke.

How dare you peasants act like that.

How dare you be in the same school.

How dare you stop Pyra's speech.

Samuel was looking at him and made eye contact, scaring him as if in a horror movie.

Oh my god, I should not have talked.

He sweated like crazy, on the other hand, Eader couldn't care less, still thinking.

There were oak stairs on the side of the massive stage.

Once Pyra stopped her speech, which Eader was staring to get into, people cheered and Eader understood.

She would be a perfect influencer, like Hitl-

He stopped himself, giving the dumbest face ever.

This made the guy mad. He was a person who came 4th in the overall tournament for men's, the top 3 don't want to be school counsellors, since it was a boring job.

He was looked down upon, since he was 4th and Pyra was seen as the better of them, being 1st.

Adam was his name.

He wanted to do something but could. Not put himself to do it.

Then from behind, which startled him, a figure came out.

"Tough day for me and I guess there is someone who owes you all an apology," a man with a black coat appeared, with a few bandages on his face, it was the detective.

"Hello, sorry I could not fulfil the duty I meant to do as a teacher, so tomorrow I will teach you all about it," he said inspiringly.

People clapped for the man. Eader was asking how many people he knows will show up on stage. He sighed and hoped this whole thing would end. Then the man stated raising his voice, which was surprising as he was all battered up.

"I want to give a huge mention to two special students, who have gone above and beyond to transfer in a student," this got peoples attention, which confused him a bit.

Samuel, the guy behind Eader, saw the confusion in his face and spoke once again, "this happens rarely, if people find a person two transfer, it has to be advised by a high member of staff for it to be expected and it also looks good on record, showing how well of a person you are."

Eader nodded

"It even got the recognition of me and the headmaster." This single quote set everybody on a huge roller-coaster. People were freaking out.

He looked at Samuel, who had already stared speaking, "the headmaster," he said, in an aspirated voice," never decided once, this means he must be exceptionally good, also the detective, he has a very high status."

Eader got all the info he needed.

I wonder who they are?

The three people on stage tried calming people down, even the teachers, and once everyone was calm he speak again.

"Now, I want to present to you the two people that found this person," he made a hand motion to where the stage would lead up to. Eader's head was about to explode when he saw the people.

What? No, no, no.

The two people coming on stage and getting a round of applause where Mythra and Evalynn.
