Getting up from the bed has always been the burden for Shane Chase. We'd wonder where did she get the bed and here is the answer: there's some legacy left behind by her predecessors in which she got through inheritance. The necklace that was given to her contains a storage ring and some manuals which she could use in a later date. She could sell them of course and that is when she finds all of those worthless in her eyes.
So, there was this storage ring and there, she stored almost all of her belongings, such as the furniture, some cabinets and of course, the bed she laid on earlier. Before she slept on that bed, she first surveyed the school. She thought that sleeping on the rooftop suits her taste very well and there, she arranged her bed and slept for how many hours.
Today is the time where would she go to the Headmaster's Office. She picked her outfit for today, of course in her storage ring, and pull it out of it. The clothes were wrinkled as it was pulled off from the ring so, she put it in her lap and gently flatly rolled her hands over it and act as if her hands were the iron. After a while, she went to the nearest bathroom in where she would brush her teeth and pee after that.
Going back to the rooftop, she pulled out the sofa from her storage ring (again) and sit on it. Imagining what would happen later, she'd begun to conceptualized a scene that depicts her being invincible to everyone.
"That wouldn't work," she murmured and sigh.
She got up from the sofa and starts to walk towards the Head Master's Office. She thought about not going there but she immediately dismissed the thought. If not now, then when? When would she go there? If ever there's an emergency, will the Academy help her if she's not a student of it?
Honestly, she's been through a lot and saw through the ups and downs of the world. There are people that will help you now but she always thought that their help would have its own expiration dates. If they don't need you, well guess what? They'll discard you!
Grumbling in her mind, she pursues the thought of her in the Head Master's office. Shane prayed that no one would ever get in her way. Like when there's some naughty future schoolmates that could've been pulling a prank on her, her being he experimental lab rat and more.
If it wasn't for the paper works that is to be submitted, aside from the recommendation letter from the teacher, she wouldn't go there and have a chat to the Head Master. Who would want to? Aside from that the Head Master is the supreme above all the students here in the school, the HM possessed an insurmountable power that is not within our reach (for now). The tradition that all of the students must come clean under the HM's surveillance was an ironclad rule inside the school and that isn't meant to be broken.
Having a sense of direction, Shane reached the Head Master's Office in no time. Standing in front of the door, she was hesitating whether to knock or just crush the door with her bare hands just like the movies that were in black and white she used to watch when she was young. With a decision in her mind that she'll just knock on to the door, she steps forward and assume a posture of a person knocking on the door. Before she could do that, the door swings itself open right in front of Shane.
"It's a waste of time exerting some effort by knocking on the door but ended up with nothing," she pouted and a trace of disappointment flashed through her eyes.
She stepped in and roamed her eyes inside the interior decorations of the room. There were pile of books beside the table that is in the center of the room, a carpet that's leading to the table, a waste bin on the other side of the table other than the pile of books and some crumpled papers that were lying on scattered directions. On the table were the flower vase, some pens and papers and further to it is a swivel chair that is facing its back on me. It seems like a typical office but with a touch of oppression feels.
"You may take your seat," said the voice that rings onto my ears. ." In addition to the furniture, there was a pair of couch in front of Shane. She walks towards one of it, not minding the Head Master facing his back on the swivel chair.
"I'm assuming you're here because, other than you need a training facility, you want to enhance power or is it just you're here because-" The Head Master purposely lengthen the word "because" and she doesn't know why the Head Master did that to her.
"I am here because I want to enroll." Keeping her head cool, Shane suppressed the blooming annoyance and the feeling that you want to talk back to the Head Master because he's spurting out nonsense.
"Oh. I thought you're here because you ran away from your problems." With a widened eye, Shane was shocked beyond words! She wondered how come did the Head Master knew about that! Is he some sort of surveillance camera? The swivel chair then turned, now facing Shane with its front, revealing the Head Master in person!
It's her aunt! Now, this is a big trouble!
"I am sorry, Auntie." Shane meekly said.
"You better be. What's with the attitude girl?" Her aunt, Aunt Carmina, said with a tone of interrogation.
"Still, I am sorry."
"You know I can read minds, right?" Yes, her aunt could do that. Her Aunt is a sort of genius when it comes to telepathy and mind related magic. On a scale of one to ten, based on how adept her Aunt in controlling her magic, Shane would've rate a full mark.
"Yes, and-?"
"I can't read yours." Shane unknowingly knitted her brows
"I didn't close my mind, Auntie." She knew that she lied big time this round. There's so much thoughts running through her mind right now and she can't bear to open it up to her Auntie.
"You better tell the truth, Shane. Or you'll face your punishment." With a threatening voice, Aunt Carmina said it to Shane.
"Going back to where I was, here's your schedule, a key to your room, some stuffs you might need." Aunt Carmina was saying this while handing the materials to Shane one by one.
"Before I forgot, you have a roommate. She's aloof and all but she's nice, sometimes." Shane knew that her Aunt Carmina was scaring her with a roommate that she doesn't even know if it's scary or what. But hell, would she be scared by that only? Never!
"Geez. Thanks for the reminder Auntie. I will better get going. See you later!" When Shane would say this phrase, 'See you later', there is a high chance that they won't be seeing each other for a very long time and she intends to keep that record.
Stepping out of that room is a breather for Shane. Clicking her tongue, she 'tsked' with annoyance.
"That monster," frowning, Shane said it with a low voice.
Drowned with her thoughts, Shane came back with her senses when a person just bumped her. Talking about a wide space here in this academy. See? There is this low chance for a guy like him to be bumped with someone else but, look who's talking right now?! He just bumped her and that is so uncool!
"Hey! Watch where you going you little thing!" Hey, did he just say, 'Little thing'? He purposely bumps into her! And he's gaining attention! Attention seeker.
Shane clenched her porcelain like fist, not minding what he is blabbering about something. Keep calm, Shane. Breathe in; breathe out. Her heart cooled down, at last!
She gave him her sweetest smile. Maybe he'd be weirded out by this gesture of Shane, but who cares? As long as she gets her revenge on him, he'll surely distance himself from me from now on!
She brushed past him and when she does, on the corner of her eyes, she saw him hands on his chest, breathing heavily as he slowly slumps to the ground. That should serve him a lesson. What a dumdum!
Reaching her room, she slips in the key on the keyhole. Shane slowly turned the doorknob to add a creepy feeling. Inside it was a combination of black and white wall. A double deck on the corner of the room, two desks on the other side, a shelf, another room (she guessed that is the bathroom), and another (which she assumed that it is the walk-in closet), a floating candle (that, which she doesn't know the purpose because as what she has noticed, there's an electricity running in every corner of this academy), and what was that?
Surprised with the sudden movement of 'it, she slowly went towards' that' thing. A thing or not? Never mind that thought. It was covered in a big furry blanket. She slowly reached on the blanket and raised it. With her horror and surprise, it is a girl! A very cute one! The girl slowly flaps her eyelids. Shane could not describe what she is feeling right now. A mixture of surprise and adoration were visible in Shane's eyes. Wait, "what happened to her eyes?" she asked in her mind.
