44 First Day (2/2)

”Yeah, we should go, we don't want to be late.” Gohan said as Reiss reverted to his base form.

The two started to walk away from the scene of the foiled bank robbery when a pigtailed girl with a slender build landed on the sidewalk. She was wearing a long white shirt, with black gloves, and bicycle shorts.

”Hey! Did either of you two see what happened here!” the girl asked in an aggressive tone.

”Yeah we did, but we're late.” Reiss said dismissively. He noticed the girl was flying, yet Gohan had suggested walking as to not draw too much attention.

Reiss had already started walking away from the girl. Gohan wasn't sure if he should leave or apologiesfor his cousin being short with the girl.

”Sorry, but we are late.” Gohan bowed in apology and ran off to catch up with his cousin.

After they left, the girl couldn't shake the feeling she had seen the teen boys before, but just could figure out where. An old man wearing a black suit and hat ran up to the girl as she examined the scene of the ruined bank robbery.

”It's good to see you Videl.” the man greeted.

”What happened to the thieves?” the girl asked.

”It was incredible, I never seen anything like that in person.” the man beamed with excitement as he recapped the events.

Videl's eyes widened with clarity after she realized the people responsible for stopping the criminals were the two guys that left earlier. She knew she should have questioned them more before letting them leave the area. Now she was left without any clues as to the identity of the heroes.

”Do you have any idea who they were?” she asked.

”I was sure you knew 'em.” the man said, ”I thought they were classmates of yours.”

”Why would think that?” she had never seen those two before.

”They were wearing Prometheus Academy badges like yours.” the man pointed to the badge on

Videl's hip.

”Thanks.” Videl said. Now that she knew they went to her school, it would be easy to find them. Her main question was why she never saw them at school before.

The 1-B classroom was full of chatter about the new students that would be joining the class. The students speculated wildly about the mystery students. Bets were made about whether they would be male or female.

Videl was seated in the stadium style classroom next to her friend Erasa. Their friend, Sharpner, was seated on the row behind them. The blonde girl Ersa was trying to talk with Videl, but she was lost in her thoughts about who the two fighters could've been.

”What do you think the new students will be like?” the cheerful Ersa asked. After not getting a response, she snapped her fingers in front of the zoned out girl. ”Earth to Videl!”

Videl was shocked back to reality, ”I'm sorry Ersa. What did you say?”

”I asked you about the new students.” Ersa said.

”What new students?” Videl was surprised it was the first she was hearing about new students.

”Oh yeah, you weren't here earlier when the professor explained our class was getting some new students.” Ersa explained.

Videl was about to process this new information when the classroom door opened. In walked the pair of teens she met earlier in the morning. The chatter erupted when the two walked into the room. The professor motioned for them to stand near his podium to introduce them.

”Eeee!” Ersa squealed at a low volume full of excitement.

”What? Do you know them?” Videl whispered.

Ersa rapidly nodded her head at her friend's question, ”The one with the blue hair is the imperial prince, Videl! How could you not know?”

”I would like to introduce your new classmates.” the professor began. ”This is Son Gohan and Prometheus Reiss.”

Reiss and Gohan went to find seats after their quick introduction by the teacher. Reiss noticed an excited blonde girl with a green tube shirt with horizontal stripes waving at them.

”There is space over here!” she shouted.

Seeing no better choice, they headed over to take their seats. After sitting down next to the girl, she immediately rolled out the welcome wagon.

”I'm Erasa. The guy behind us is Sharpner.” she introduced them. ”And that's Videl, she is a crime fighter in the city.”
