Chapter 3

The professor went to her seat and sit down to wait for the remaining of her class. The professor would occasionally take a peek at Ashewell. "How can she had such beautiful hair and her face. Oh my god! She is just too beautiful! Ah! What are you imagining such thing about your students. Get yourself together Akjoo! She is still underage!" Akjoo said and look away. If Ashewell knew that his professor mistake him for a girl, he would have correct her instantly. After a few minute in, more and more people began to show up. The first thing they all notice was Ashewell. They all had the same comment about him. "What a beautiful girl!" They all said. But what they did not know is that Ashewell is a boy not a girl.

Soon, the classroom was fill up. Akjoo saw this and went to the front of the class. "May I have everyone attention please?" Akjoo said. Everyone stop their chattering and look towards Akjoo. "Thank you. I will be your professor until you all went to the next year. My name is Akjoo E. Wadta. You all can call me Professor Akjoo." Akjoo said. "Now, lets start by introducing ourselves. You will introduce yourself and tell everyone what your goal is. Alright! First roll near the door will go first." Akjoo said. Rolls after roll introduce themselves until it was finally Ashewell turn. "Hello everyone! My name is Ashewell Ector. I don't really have any goal as of right now other than to help my mom. Thank you." Ashewell introduction was less than 10 second.

Ashewell sit back down and wait for the other students to finish their introduction. After a few more minute, everyone finish introducing themselves. "Alright, everyone please focus up here." Akjoo said. Everyone turn their attention to Akjoo. "It seem like I have a total of 24 students. 13 from Pyrrhic school 11 from Sempiternal school. And only one from Lagoon school." Akjoo said. The students heard this and want to know who is the one from Lagoon school. "I will be handing out your school uniform to you all." Akjoo said and went to her desk. Akjoo retrieve 13 silver, 11 navy blue and 1 black badge from her desk. "Come and pick up your school badge. Remember to not pick the wrong one as it know which school you are in." Akjoo said. Students went up and take their badge. They look and saw that Ashewell was the one with the black badge. The boys were feeling down as they was hoping that Ashewell would be in their school. At the orientation, not many students pay attention to the school sorting so many does not know who get what school.

"Alright since everyone got their badge. Press the button in the middle of the badge." Akjoo said. Everyone heard this and press the button in the middle of their badge. *Whoosh* Their school uniform appear and before they knew it. They were wearing their uniform already. "Whoa! So this is my uniform!" Ashewell said to himself and look at the other students. He was the only one here that had a suit on. There were 13 with Korean school uniform on while the other 11 had a navy uniform on. But everyone student had their attention on Ashewell. Everyone just stare at Ashewell in awe. Ashewell does not know that he look more attractive in his uniform. His hat along with his long black hair make him stand out more. His black blazer and his black khaki make him stand out too much.

Akjoo was also staring at Ashewell. "How could she look more beautiful with the Lagoon uniform. It's as if she is meant to be in the Lagoon school. I wonder what she would look like in the other school uniform." Akjoo said but quickly recollect herself. "Attention everyone!" Everyone heard this and turn their attention to Akjoo. "Class is dismiss! Today is just an introduction day and make sure that you visit everywhere in the academy. Get yourself familiar to the academy first! Alright be on your way now!" Akjoo dismiss her class and went out first as she have many paper work to work on. After Akjoo left, all of the boys surround Ashewell. "Hey there! If you don't mind, you can come with me and my friends! We can go look around the academy together!" A male student from the Sempiternal said. "Are these boys gay or what? I am not interested beside I prefer being alone." Ashewell said to himself.

"No thanks guys, I prefer to be alone." Ashewell said and got up to leave the classroom. There were some female students here that want to befriend Ashewell. But Ashewell had already left. Ashewell got outside and look at his uniform. "This whole suit seem to be made for a girl only. Why did I get a girl suit instead?" Ashewell ask himself. He look at his blaze and does not like the way how the blaze is button up so he decide to unbutton the button. Under the blazer was a black vest then a white button up shirt along with a black tie. "Feel much better." Ashewell said and continue walking. Ashewell look at the map to see where he would want to visit first. "Lets see here. I have seen the dorm and the arena already. I think I should go visit the ocean as I really like the view." Ashewell decide on his destination. Ashewell began making his way to the beach. Ashewell had to climb down the endless of steps before he finally reach the bottom. "A total of 7 minute to get back down. Gonna be a pain but it should be easier after a few day." Ashewell said and continue on his way.

"Wow! Is she part of the Lagoon school!" A male students from Pyrrhic school ask. "She has to be from the Lagoon school. I mean look at her badge." His friend said. "Wow! She is really beautiful! Come on, lets go and see if we can get her number!" He drag his friend towards Ashewell. But they stop half way as they saw 5 Lagoon students making their way to Ashewell also. They decide to go another way as they don't want to get into a fight with 5 of the Lagoon. The 5 Lagoon approach Ashewell. "What are you doing here? Our head master had call for us to gather at the Lagoon headquarter." A male student said. "Oh. Sorry I didn't know that. I did not hear any thing. I am a freshmen so I am still quite new to these thing so please do apologize for not hearing the message." Ashewell said. The 5 male student heart began to pound as Ashewell is just too beautiful. Hearing Ashewell apologize make their heart ache.

"Ah, it's alright as I'm sure that not everyone hear the message. This is why our head master decide to send a few group to go around and inform those that had not heard about the message." He said. "Okay thanks. So where is our headquarter at?" Ashewell ask. "I can take you there." He reply quickly. "It's okay I can go there myself. I just need you to point me the way." Ashewell said. "Are you sure I mean..." He didn't finish his sentence before Ashewell but him off. "I am sure. Beside NEO-Xeno is suppose to be safe right?" Ashewell said. "Okay then." He reply and point the way to Ashewell. Ashewell thank the 5 men and make his way to the Lagoon headquarter. "Lagoon headquarter is the same way that I was going to as well." Ashewell said. Along his way, he was attracting a lot of attention. Mainly among boys. Ashewell does not care much as long as they don't get too comfy around him. He had already got use to this and the way that people mistake him for a girl.

Ashewell walk for about 10 minutes and was close to his headquarter. "Ashewell Ector~. Have a duel with me." Durmon appear from the side. The nearby students heard this and focus their attention on them. "Sorry, got no time as our head master call for a urgent meeting." Ashewell said and walk past Durmon. "Wait! Then give me your contact info and I will arrange our duel!" Durmon shout to Ashewell. Ashewell just shook his head and ignore Durmon. Durmon saw that he was ignore. "Next time." He said and left. "Whoa! Did she get Durmon attention! But how could she just reject him like that?"A girl said. "Every girls want Durmon yet she just straight up reject him." One of her friends said. "If I were her then I would have agree to give my info to Durmon. Ahhh~" She said. "If you are just as beautiful as her then you might have a chance." Her friends mock her. Ashewell arrive to the entrance of the Lagoon headquarter. Each school had their own headquarter and it was very big. There are about 7 thousand students attending NEO-Xeno and about 2 and a half thousand student in each school. This is why they need a big headquarter.

Ashewell got near the entrance and was stop by two security guards. "Badge?" A security guard ask. Ashewell look at his badge and saw that his hair had cover it. Ashewell quickly move his hair away and show them the badge. "You're good." They said and move out of the way. Ashewell nod at them and went inside. "I should tie my hair into a ponytail." Ashewell said and tie his hair into a low ponytail so that he could still wear his hat. Ashewell arrive to the lobby and saw that there were many students here as well. "Ah! Ashewell, your here!" Tiffany call out to Ashewell. "Hey they Tiffany!" Ashewell said. Tiffany quickly arrive to Ashewell side. "I already told you to call me Fany instead of my full name." Tiffany said. "Oh, haha. Sorry I forgot." Ashewell apologize to Tiffany. "It's alright. And do you know why were are call here?" Tiffany ask Ashewell. "No, I don't know." Ashewell reply. "As expected. But don't worry as I will fill you in." Tiffany said. "Then thanks a lot Fany." Ashewell thanks Tiffany. "No problem. Alright. The reason why we are call he is to welcome the newcomers. But what we are really here is to talk about the upcoming tournament that will happen in 2 month." Tiffany said.

"Tournament? So do we fight other school for a title?" Ashewell said. "Exactly just as you said but there is something else other than just a title." Tiffany said. "Oh! What else?" Ashewell ask. "That.. I am not sure also. It's something new that was put in this year. But we will find out when my uncle give out the information." Tiffany reply. "Oh! So our head master is your uncle?" Ashewell ask. "Yeah. Oh! Look like it has started. We should go also." Tiffany said and drag Ashewell out of the lobby. They walk for 10 second before they reach a door that lead outside. They got outside and saw a man in his mid 40s standing on top of the stage. "That is my uncle. Come on lets go and join the other." Tiffany said. Ashewell and Tiffany went to join the other students. They went and sit on the girl section and wait for Tiffany uncle to gave the speech. Ashewell was about to tell Tiffany that he is a boy and not a girl. And that he does not belong in the girl section.

But Tiffany just told him to hush as her uncle was about to gave out the speech. "Hello everyone! I am the head master of the Lagoon school, Daniel Grasve! I call everyone here because there are some important things that I want to talk to you all about. But first lets have all of the newcomers that join our Lagoon family come up to the stage!" Daniel said. "Go on. Go to the stage and receive everyone welcome." Tiffany said and push Ashewell to the stage. Within a minute, all the newcomer got to the stage. "Please give these newcomer a round of applause!" Daniel said and clap. Everyone also clap along. "Alright, please introduce yourself!" Daniel said. "Hello everyone! I am Eve Jun!" Eve said. Everyone clap for Eve. "Hey all. I am Pan Heca!" Everyone clap for Pan. After everyone introduce themselves, it was finally Ashewell turn. He was the last one. "Hello everyone! My name is Ashewell Ector." Ashewell said.

Ashewell caught a lot of attention especially among the male students. "Alright. Thank you all! Please don't feel too much pressure and if you all ever need help then just come to the headquarter and ask for help." Daniel said. "Thank you head master Daniel!" They all said and went back to their seat. "Alright everyone! Now for the real reason why I call you all here! It's about the upcoming tournament in 2 month. There is another reward added for the winner of the tournament. But I will not tell you what the reward is. If you want to know then you got to win first place!" Daniel said. Everyone heard this and roar as they know what their head master mean by this. If they want something so bad then they will have to fight their way towards that something. After a few hour, the meeting was finally over.
