1.63: A friend from long ago

"Whoa, what was that?" Yuro asked.

"It seems like someone just built up…but why at school?" Genti said.

They sat in their class with the rest of the 2nd years.

"It looks like it came from above." Someone said from behind them. "It might be Gale or Franco if they're both fighting right now. Oh, sorry for my bad manners! I am Toru Garasu, and this is my teammate Suna McFly."

Two of the Sapphire Dawn members were the only second years.

"Oh, I see you guys are from Sapphire Dawn. It's a pleasure to meet you," Yuro responded.

"No, the pleasure is ours. Again, I'm sorry for the trouble with Tedd earlier on Yuro. He is himself, and we cannot hold him down but don't worry; we are cool with you guys," Suna said.

"Thank goodness. I don't want a repeat of what happened in middle school."

"OH, so that's where you guys know each other. I feel bad in your place now." Toru said.

"Yeah, but this is a new era and a new start. I won't let him have his waaaayyyyyy…."

Yuro stopped talking when he saw a group of girls enter the class. They seemed to be in a guild, as Kate came to them with a Vice-captain band.

"Yuro, Shark guy! Great to see you guys again."

"Hey, Kate. I didn't know you were in a guild." Yuro asked.

"WHO THE HELL TOLD ME MY NAME WAS SHARK GUY?!"

"What, I don't know your name anyways… Giddy?"

"GENTI! IT'S GENTI!!"

"Alright, I'll try not to remember it." She said

Another girl came to them and smiled at Yuro. "Ain't you a cutie. What's your name?" 

His heart began to beat, and he started to blush.

"Let him be Suno. This is just the first day; have some decency!" Kate ordered.

"Come on, Katie. I'm just having a little fun," Suno said, winking at him. "You and I will have a good time, Kay?"

And then she went to sit at her place, right in front of Yuro. He quickly stood up and went to talk to Genti and the rest. 

"Guys, I have a problem." He whispered. 

"What's wrong?" Toru asked.

"I-I…I think… she's the one."

Charlotte was sitting in the 2-2 class with Shiyo Kawakami and Sarah Os-Blancos as the rumbling was heard from their class.

"Whoa, what was that?!" Sarah asked.

"THAT MUST BE A VILLAIN CAUSING INJUSTICE!" Charlotte exclaimed while holding up her ruler.

"…Charlotte, that's a ruler!"

"Why would a villain even infiltrate the premises so easily?" Shiyo asked while hiding behind Sarah.

"Relax, guys, it's not a villain." Someone walked in and sat next to them.

"AND WHO MUST YOU BE, YOUNG TALENT?" Charlotte asked. However, Sarah ran to hug her.

"EYY! Look at you! You've grown so much in under four years."

"FOUR YEARS IS A LOT! OF COURSE I GREW UP DAMMIT!!"

Shiyo and Charlotte were lost.

"Oh, my name is Sasha Os-Blancos. I think you guys-"

"WAIT…did you say Os-Blancos?!" Shiyo asked with excitement.

"Yup! Guys, this is my mini-me."

"I CAN SEE YOU GUYS EVEN LOOK ALIKE!" Sasha did not know why Charlotte exclaimed every word and sentence she said.

"Does she…do that a lot?"

Sarah just left but stopped the moment she saw what Sasha was wearing.

"What…you are in Rebirth?" She asked.

"…yeah. Things happened, and I had no choice but to accept Mister Martin's offer."

"B-But you know the consequences of joining that darn team! You can only fight until you become an official. What will you do then?!"

Sarah was furious about her decision. "You know very well that all they do is sit back and watch all of us die!! You saw what happened with big sis! SHE IS GONE BECAUSE REBIRTH ARE A BUNCH OF-"

"People who are forced to do their jobs."

Another ronin walked in.

"Sanj, not you too."

"They are forced to follow Sir William's rules, which is why they can't fight," Sanji said, standing beside Sasha. "Sarah, we have a lot to talk to you about."

"But the machine must have made a mistake," Tedashii said, for he was the most dissatisfied with his stats. "Why did it say I am human? And 52 Power level?!"

"I am just as surprised as you are, Tedashii. I don't know why it gave you…probably the WORST STATS out of everyone in the school." Martin said.

"Yet again, we can't change them either. That is all under your control." Lennox said.

Tedashii sighed and walked to his desk.

A while later, the rest of their classmates entered the class.

"Oh, I remember you!" Tedashii said.

"Tedashii! Good to see you again." Josuke said.

"The vice-captain of the Red Rangers? You guys know each other?" Leah asked.

"Of course! Josuke was there during my near-death experience. Hahahaha!" They both began to laugh.

Another member of the Red Rangers came to them with his friend. He had red hair, blue eyes, black and red clothing, and a plaster on his nose.

"Fujioka! Great to see you're here as well." Josuke said.

"Yeah, but I will do my best to work my way back up there!" He said.

Fujioka's friend, Yano, was a member of the Black Bullets. He had black silk hair, brown eyes, an all-black suit, a white shirt, and glasses.

"Man, to finally meet the person who defeated Mercedes… it's an honor." Yano said.

"Uh, thanks? But…who is Mer-"

"TEDASHII IS REALLY THANKFUL!" Leah interrupted them, and they all laughed.

"Uhm, excuse me?"

A soft voice was heard from the door. As everyone turned to see who it was, Tedashii froze and stared at the person.

"Is this the class 1-3?" She asked.

"Yup! Welcome to the underdog class, HAHA!" Fujioka answered.

Tedashii walked closer to her and just kept staring.

"Do I…know you from somewhere?" He asked.

She began to blush and looked away. "N-NO OF COURSE NOT! I've never seen you in my life!"

"My name is Tedashii… KATSUNO TEDASHII! A pleasure to meet you!" He exclaimed his intro and got the attention of the whole class. She stopped being startled and took a breath.

"My name is Brianna Motsubi. The pleasure is all mine."
