1.2.6

I walked into the teachers lounge before my class began to chill. for a bit. The other teachers were in there and wished me luck. Especially Kenji who popped confetti into my face when I entered.

"Oh how exciting this will be! The first time you'll be having your class go through an exam!" He gushed with a huge smile while patting my back slightly aggressively. I couldn't be annoyed at such a kind person, especially one who is probably stronger than me in some ways. However, Kazeka did teach me many things that'll help me for when I go against Kurohana.

"Wanderer!" Takashi shouted as he grabbed my shoulder. He was the science teacher and usually had a lab coat and glasses, he also was quite big and probably extremely muscular as well. "You should probably get to your class now. We've all prepared for our exams with the other classes so its just you. I wish your students the best of luck."

Every other teacher was looking at me giving me hope. Ms Ito - The English Literature teacher, Mrs Kato - The History teacher, Mr Nakamura - The Math teacher, Mr Sasaki - The Science teacher, Ms Yamomoto - The Art teacher, Mr Tanaka - The Physical Education teacher, Mrs Suzuki - The Music teacher, Mr Akuru - The Geography teacher, and last but not least, Miss Fujimoto - The Home Economics teacher.

I waved to all of them as I left with the test in my hands.

I began to walk to class. There was a strange feeling in my chest, it wasn't fear, it was hope. The teachers have all given me different points of advice when I needed it most. I would then pass that information onto the students. I know that if their fate was in the hands of the teachers, then they'll all pass. I believe...no...I know it'll happen.

Boro poked his head out of my pocket. "Awah...Wanderer...What time is it?" Boro asked sounding a little sleepy after just woken up

"Be quiet Boro, I need to give the kids their tests. You've been fighting with Valentine a lot instead of letting him study right?" I demanded.

"Eh...Its not like he's struggling. He's quite strong you know. Way stronger than me. He just takes me a little easy and I've been slowly getting better from it. And to be frank with you...He's probably developed a better bond with me rather than me with you. As for his smartness...well its obviously much better than you think. He can ace that test without studying. " He said in a relaxed manner.

Well as long as Boro doesn't make him dumber than its fine I guess. As I approached the door handle, I immedietly got flashbacks of the first time I walked in, the light around was golden compared to the current blue atmosphere that enveloped the hallway.

"Alright Boro, stay in there and don't come out."

I walked in and saw all the students sitting down waiting patiently with a serious look on all their faces. I looked to the end and saw Yorimi still wasn't there as usual.

"Alright everyone. Its time for me to hand out your exams." I said holding onto the pile of paper on my hand a bit more tightly before walking around and placing it on each person desk. "Write your names and don't go through the paper yet. You have until break to get this finished and after break, we'll watch a movie." The class was happy to hear this and waited. I then finally called out: "Test starts...Now." The students then began working through the papers. Valentine was smiling widely. This seemed extremely easy for him.

I watched closely as they all continued to write on their papers and thought a bit more about each student.

Valentine was the one who kept dueling Boro but he's also very knowledgeable when it comes to any type of work I give him.

Stardust seems quite eager to learn. She's doing really well but is extremely hyperactive. She also seems to have this star floating around her that doesn't talk but she calls it Astraea — so I guess she must've formed a link with an object that isn't sentient somehow.

Tsugaki has already shown me how powerful he is by killing me. Splitting my face in half was extremely unnecessary. He doesn't seem to be doing that bad in my class. That black cover on his left arm is quite powerful though, after all — that's what he used to kill me. He also seems to have a strong connection with Lunar, maybe the two hang out frequently or did in her childhood?

Crystalline has always been bright. She gets good grades but she seems to be too innocent and airheaded so other students would just take advantage of her. I feel sort of bad but I guess I would do the same if I were a student too. That fractured halo on her head however... I wonder what she means by 'Former' Angel.

Lunar was the one I'm trying to keep an eye on so far. I don't know why a student would try to kill a simple bartender but I'm still just trying to put the pieces together. Her clothing doesn't match the clothes Kurohana usually wears. Especially what happened in that forest. If I died and returned to before that happened...Then...Why did nothing happen?

[A moment where The Wanderer didn't go outside and instead stayed inside]

*Gasp* "Lunar...are you alright?" Tsugaki asked putting his arm over her shoulder.

She was covering her left eye with her hand and breathing heavily.

"Don't worry...I think...She only comes out when in the presence of an enemy...It was close but...I can hold out a bit...She seemed really eager this time..."

"Alright Lunar, I managed to scare that bounty hunter away do its fine but I don't think he was the enemy. I might know who though...Someone we've interacted with a lot. Someone Kurohana was defeated by...our sensei."

"Alright every one hand your exams back in, times up." I announced. Everyone handed in their papers. Deyuki and Fuuka didn't seem too pleased but I knew they studied so we should be fine. However, I was going to head to the concert to see that idol tonight so I couldn't exactly mark these yet.

"Alright everyone class dismissed. Head to break and after lunch you'll have your movie."

As everyone left I thought about the rest of the students. Fuuka wasn't the brightest student...However, she is a species known as a soulreaver. There are a couple of blue and purple crystals sticking out of her back and arms but they weren't big enough to cause issues. The only thing big enough to cause issues was her breasts. Deyuki would stare and distract my teacher. Her being able to make infinite soulflow was incredible overpowered and I'm glad she expanded my soulflow capacity.

Zakayuki was the extremely stoic and serious student. He rarely talked and did alright in class. Most of the time he wouldn't be paying attention and would just read his manga.

Deyuki was the wizard boy in my class. He didn't really do any work and instead slept the whole time. He's the wizard boy that doesn't give a damn about school. However, he has proven to be useful to me many times so I guess I can't really hate on him too much.

Mizuki was the extremely flat-chested student but she seemed like a big tease. Something strange was that every time she hit a student or did some dramatic thing to them then a sound effect would play out of nowhere.

I've yet to see Yorimi or know anything about him. He just seems to be extremely mysterious for some reason. Let's just hope he shows up ready for the test.

I sat down in my chair at Omocha's writing a couple papers. I was going to have to get ready to head to the concert venue soon. It was a friday night after all.

As I got ready to go, Boro peeked his head out.

"Ooh! Are we going somewhere already?" He asked eagerly.

"Yeah the concert venue." I said as I got my cape.

"Where'd you get that?" He asked as he bounced in my pocket.

"I got it when I was purchasing clothes the other day. It looked sort of cool and it fits the color or my mask." I said looking at it from side to side.

"Heh...you sure you don't look stupid in it?" He said out.

"Eh...probably not. Let's just go now." I walked down.

"B-Bye Wanderer! Enjoy the performance. I heard that idol's really popular so I'll leave it up to her to entertain you. I'll just stay here and clean up the shop."

As I walked out, I could see the lights shining in the distance as well as the faint music coming from it as well.
