(NEW STUDENT)

"An exhibition?" He mumbled in his heart, picking up the magazine once again to inspect the advertisement closely. It is a big one, covering almost the entire page of the book cover. "Van Helsing family arsenal exhibition…" "A VAN HELSING!!" His classmates sudden shriek, causing him to yank the magazine in his hand out of reflex. "W-what?" He immediately reach his hand out to grab the magazine back, but at the same time also notices the figure standing near the class entrance. He take one quick look at her before returning his attention back onto the fallen magazine once more, this is much more important for him.

"Class, today you will be joined with a new student from the Van Helsing Family…"

Miss Ling step aside as the girl walk on stage, none other than the legendary SS Rank hunter, a member from the legendary Van Helsing. The legendary elite out of the elite, Erina Van Helsing. The crowd goes nut once more. To them she is a god like existence, she is the symbol of everything: power, strength and wealth, all foreshadowed onto her. She took her cloak off, only to cause more mayhem once the boys lay eyes on her beauty. Erina's blood red eyes scan through the crazy monkey like crowd before stopping onto Fei, who is busy trying to reach his fallen magazine without leaving his ass away from the seat. He didn't even care about her, in which just makes her even more interested in this "mysterious" boy.

"Erina, since today it is the ice breaking session, would you mind to introduce yourself simply to your future classmates?" Miss Lim asked carefully, since this is the member of the legendary family that she definitely didn't wanted to mess with. "Please?" She added. Erina's lips moved a bit, but refuse to speak anything. She suddenly reach her hand out and grab the marker on the teacher's desk, opening the cap with a twist before turning back towards the whiteboard behind her and scribble down two big words.

"Hi"

"Yoooooo!!" The crowd cheered for her action. "She is so cool!" They all gasped, some even passing out right on the spot, couldn't stand her majestic, powerful aurora. She place the marker back before calmly ascending down the stage. Putting a face mask on, that she should have but forgot, while heading past the commotional crowd and towards Fei in a straight line.

"Got it" Fei finally grab hold onto the edge of the book, but a feet stepped onto it, disrupting his plan to pull it back. Fei tugged it harder only to rip a chunk of the book out, he couldn't hold the pain in his heart, this thing costs a thousand-yen goddamit! He lifted his head up to take a good look at the one who stepped onto it on purpose. She is a girl, with skin that is not fair, but white as if she was made out of china. She is small, but undeniably well built, with a body that fits the depiction of a life size ceramic doll. Her face too, sure look like one, with large cold, emotionless eyes, a small blood red lips and a pointy nose. Even her hair seems vaguely familiar, black with white strokes, tied into two ponytails.

She wore a specially made uniform, sewn into a Victorian style, those with puffy shoulder pads and gowns that looks like an umbrella. Behind her is a gigantic crossbow while leaning onto her shoulder is a dark, bat styled umbrella to shade her aside from her cloak. And through such close distant, Fei could smell the strong scent of suncream, looks like she is a candle girl: she really hate sunlight.

"Who are you?"

The answer literally caused everyone to explode, all of them stare at this country rat. Did he even know the definition of death, talking like this? Even Erina lifted an eye, seeing Fei trying to tape the rip off cover back. Her life is filled with control, prosperity and respect, she was treated like a celestial being, never in her life someone had ever talk to her like that, it sounds… very friendly. She lifted her feet up, allowing Fei to savage the rest before taking a seat right beside him, placing the gigantic crossbow of hers above the floor, leaning it onto the table. Fei raised an eyebrow, kind of annoyed by her before returning his attention into the "surgery" of his.

"Who is that guy?" The students mumbled, confused and shocked at the same time. They couldn't believe she would take a seat beside a C Rank loser like Fei. There is an uncharted rule in this academy, due to the rank type of system, people of the same rank tend to flock together. Just like what they say, birds of feather flocks together, people of the same rank stay with each other. Although those guys with higher rank won't get any problem if, you will. Money and power does the talk for them, but not for a nobody like you. Besides, the higher rank students normally won't even waste a second to befriend with you.

There is no reason, purpose or benefit for such action. Most of them just wanted to toy with you for a moment or either to use you as a mere tool, after you lose your purpose, you will be tossed aside. The feeling of desperation after being granted hope. This academy perfectly depicts the cruelty of society how injustice it is. It is like a slaughter house of the weak, the shrine of the rich. Only those with absolute power or money could stand a feet in. While men like Fei would only stay beneath them as their stairway to succession, stepping onto their back as they climbed higher and higher.

"At Prime Mall…" Fei could finally piece the poor paper up and get the information needed. "Saturday, from nine in the morning till twelve midnight…" Lucky him too, since he is free from his work during weekends, as the café was closed to give the workers some time and space to breathe. He gave himself a stupid smirk, ignoring the weird eyes from the rest as he continue his business and plannings.

"All right then" Miss Ling clapped his hands to gain the class's attention once more. "We will begin our icebreaking activity right now. Esther, please stand up and introduce yourself simply to your classmates." Starting from the top left, the students each began to stand up and did the introduction. The reactions were different though, of course, according to their ranks. When it is Fei's turn, he just stood up and spoke meekly, with one sentence: "Uh, hi, my name is Fei?" His blushing expression and stammering words, the class burst out laughing. Fei let out a deep breath before sitting back, but saw Miku smiling at him as she gave him a wink. He look aside, only to caught Erina staring at him with weirdly, those eyes locked onto him uneasily. He immediately turn his head towards the window, pretending that he is staring at the scenery outside

"What a weird day."
