First Day at School

For a highschool, it's quite big, really.

Even the teachers have an attitude like they are at the most prestigious school in the country.

I was standing before one, along with… Buffy Summers.

Both of us are new students starting today, but she did all the talking.

Out of neccessity.

"So… Mr. Williams right here has a proper record. We like proper students. But Ms. Summers… I see you left the previous school because of a bad behavior…"

"That… was because the environment spoiled me. I could be a very nice student in a very nice environment for sure."

"Spoiled you, you say… in which way?"

"Oh… people would badmouth teachers and provoked me to prove myself.... But of course, here nobody could even think of speaking badly of teachers like you…"

Should I help her… somehow?

"Ms. Summers… don't take me for a fool. Just go. I hope you will take a lesson from your previous experience."

Ah. Too late to help her.

It was nice to have your own… box for things in a corridor.

Kidding.

When you work, you get a big table with big storage options but this… felt like a joke.

Putting there my things, I went to my first lesson.

There was not "new student introduction".

And so I spent my time trying to come up with a list of imminent threats.

Normal vampires in the night

Vampires posing as humans, like in the "Bronze" bar & disco

Ancient vampires and the like after rituals

Werewolves and other creatures being able to pretend being humane

yet able to withstand sunlight

Of course, there were more in the series. Far more.

My "weak holy blood" should prevent me from becoming a vampire, since normal vampires won't find my tasty when I finish the skill.

Being rational, I will sacrifice all of my social evening life for the time being, so the second group is okay.

But… what about the third one?

I may actually be even "suspicious" upon sight to the stronger creatures.

I… need a luck skill. Something which would help me to lessen the probability of confronting much stronger dark creature than me. There's no way any increase in combat ability would help me to resist them anytime soon.

Finishing my list, I tore it after deciding on it.

The rest of the day was… routine. It helps when you were older and already knew all this stuff once. Just after a history lesson someone in a shirt with green mushroom pattern came to me and asked "What's up".

"No idea. You see, I took so much of the mushroom soup that I see them even on your shirt."

"It's bad habit to take them in the morning."

"You think it's better after school?"

"Indeed, that's the right way. My name is Xanders."
