23 Chapter 21 Arrangemen (1/2)

”Well at least that's over and done with...”, said Takemi with a sigh. It wasn't the most original speech,nor was it the best one, but at least he didn't stutter or stop midway.

The other students seemed to enjoy it and those in the freshman uniforms seemed to clap louder than the rest of the school.

”Ah! Mikazuchi-san! That was a pretty great speech you gave”.

A voice rang out through the courtyard, turning Takemi's head to two figures that were walking towards him.

A short, dark purple haired girl holding the arm of a young man... or woman? The second figure had a rather androgynous face so the only thing that told Takemi he was actually a ”he” was that he was wearing a male uniform.

The purple haired girl spoke, ”That wasn't what I was expecting from you Mikazuchi-san. I thought you'd be a lot more harder to approach”.

”Kanon, that's rude... ah we haven't introduced ourselves. My name is Isori Kei and this here is-”.

”Chiyoda Kanon! It's nice to meet you”.

Takemi gave the two of them a nod and said, ”Mikazuchi Takemi. I guess you two are first years as well?”.

The both nodded before Kei asked, ”I don't want to sound too impersonal, but have you signed up for any classes yet? We might be in the same class”.

”No I haven't. Although I do have something in mind I have yet to see the workshops this school has set up”.

Kei smiled and asked, ”Maybe you'd like to come with us? Only if your comfortable with it though”.

Takemi thought about it for a moment before nodding and following the two to the first year notification board surrounded by students; some familiar to Takemi.

'...Hmm. So the mandatory subjects like Maths and Japanese are still here... ah! There, Magical courses. Theoretical Magic Studies, Practical Magic Study, Basic CAD Development, Magic Sequence Creation, Foreign Magic Study, Ancient Magic Study.... wow, this is really extensive...'.

Rubbing his chin while memorizing the location for each class's workshop he felt a tap on the shoulder from Kei who was pointing to the homeroom lists on the board.

”It seems like we're in the same homeroom... although Kanon...”.

The in question had watery eyes as she saw he name beside Kei's... in the other homeroom's column.

”It's no fair! Why world... why!”.

As Kei tried to calm his fiancée down, something that Kei didn't know that Takemi knew abut him, the three of them walked towards the freshman building and with a teary goodbye, left Kanon at her class.

”Please don't mind her Mikazuchi-san. She's always been like this”.

Takemi waved it off and said, ”It's fine. I know someone just like that. And besides, it's not a temperament that I hate”.

The image of Musashi crying anime tears while waiting for her dinner came to Takemi's mind before quickly disappearing as he entered the room.

He was in Class 1-1. Their was no information on who was in his homeroom until he stepped through the door.

Hattori Hanzou.

Kirihara Takeaki.

Nakajou Azusa.

'It seems like this will be the center of attention this year...'. Thought Takemi.

The moment he looked to the front of the board, he saw that the teacher had already assigned seats to everyone. Takemi frowned when he saw that his seat was the one directly in front of the teachers stand.

Although it lessened slightly when he saw that Kei was sitting directly behind him. School's hard when you don't have friends to hang out with. At least this way he wasn't completely alone.

”Mikazuchi-san can I have a-”.

”Everyone take your seats!”.

Takemi's body stiffened when he heard the second voice ring out. His back straightened and a cold sweat appeared on his back as he sat down in his seat.

'Please no. For the love of God, please no'.

The door opened and a beautiful silver-white haired woman came through the door. She was wearing something that a secretary would normally wear, and on a side note, something that was very familiar to Takemi.

”Hello everyone, my name is Mikazuchi Musashi and I will be your homeroom teacher for this year- ah?”.

Musashi blinked rapidly as he gaze locked with Takemi's. The former's smile growing by the second while the latter just banged his head on the table in front of him.

Saber, despite her personality kept her cool and smiled to the class, ”I think we should start with introductions.... how about... you young man!”.

She pointed at the seat directly in front of her and Takemi gave a sigh before standing up.

”My name is Mikazuchi Takemi. Just call me Takemi as to not be confused with Mikazuchi-sensei. I'm thinking of taking every class that First High can offer in hopes that I can realize my dream... is that satisfactory, sensei?”.

”Umu! That's fine Takemi-san. Please sit down... next up is you....”.

Takemi kept one ear open to memorize the names of everyone in his homeroom. He only thing that he could think about was,

'How the hell did Musashi get a job as a High School teacher! At a Magic High school at that! She hates magecraft, why did she- she didn't...'.

He looked up and saw that his ”Aunt” winked at him, causing Takemi to believe his newfound suspicions.

'She just wanted to spy on me!'.

The rest of homeroom was introductions and a brief overview on how today was going to work. There was no classes for the rest of the week for the freshman as it was the tour of the workshops for each class. Each student had to decide what they wanted to do over the next 3 days which, to someone like Takemi who already knew what he wanted to do, was rather boring.
