Prologue

Inside the 'Imperial Academy'

Building A, Rooftop A

'As I fell asleep

On such a fine day

I heard a voice

Asking for my help.

Was it a dream or a nightmare?'

"Hey! Rai! Rai? RAI! Wake up, sleepy head. Our afternoon class is about to start." Hikaru said as he finally found Rai sleeping on the rooftop, again. "Uh? Who are you?" Rai said as she slowly opened her eyes and immediately dozed off.

"Hey! Come on. Seriously? How can you sleep that FAST?!" he said, poking Rai's face with his pencil. "O-okay! That's enough. I am awake." she said, shoving his pencil away from her face.

"Here. I will help you to get up." He said as he offered his right hand to help her get up. "Thank you." She cheerfully replied, making him blush.

"S-so, tell me. How can you really sleep that FAST?" Hikaru said as he curiously asked Rai. "I had a dream," Rai said as she rubbed her eyes and yawned. "Dream? What kind of dream?" he asked. "Uh? I do not remember, but it is not a dream, I guess." She replied.

"I think you are just really sleepy, Rai. Let's go." He said as he chuckled, opened the door and went out of the rooftop. "Hey! Hikaru, wait for me." she said as she ran away and went off of the rooftop.
