Chapter 7:

7 - Scabiosa School Part 3

Yama


I'm Hikari Yama, 16 years old. Completed my first day at Scabiosa School. More like a preparation class. I'm not officially a student here nor that I want to...

Such an uneventful first day... I'm glad it is like that. We get to know the basics of chevaliers. Not that we don't know about it before. I'm confident everyone has already been taught about it since we were a kid. Judicium Satus... Exorior... Requiem...

It's not my fault for sleeping through all the explanations. Maybe I can keep my focus on physical class better.

"Where are you going Yama? Our house is this way."

Yua is holding a tip of a uniform on my shoulder after she saw me going the wrong way. In her view that is. I'm not planning to go home now anyway.

"I got things to do, can you tell mom I'll come back a bit late?"

"Oh, I see... Okay then. Do you want me to accompany you?" she asks me for confirmation.

"No need to. You should rest at home."

This is a fence behind the school. Not so height, not so low. An average school fence of about six feet in height. How many times have I done it? About a week... Then six or seven. I don't remember. Climbing this fence can be such a drag sometimes. 

"No one around..."

I have to make sure no one watching from the time before I climb when I climb and after I climb. I have to run for momentum and kick the lower part of the fence a bit to move upward. Then placed my hand on top of the fence and lift my body to the other side. That's the fastest way to climb it.

"Huh... Pass..."

It's been in my mind since day one, no guard is guarding the school. That is because Murakami Mayumi is the guard herself. I know that but doesn't it safer to have an actual guard inspect the school?

But of course, I'm glad they don't pay anyone to do that. If they do, it will be a pain in the ass for me to see her. Maybe I am already being caught in this moment.

Passing the rear of the pentagon building with a vase of flowers placed beside the wall, I can see a pond beside the building. This is Block 4, where our class has been placed. There are three floors including the ground floor. The ground floor consists of our teacher's room. The second floor consists of Library 4. And the top is where our class is.

In the middle of it, there's a training ground. We called it Gokakukei because of its pentagon shape. As the pentagon has 5 sides, there will be 5 classes for the first-year student. All of it was placed on each side of the pentagon.

The design of the building for the other batch is different though. But I think the class will remain the same until the final year. I don't know why they don't have the same design.

I wait for her while sitting beside the pond with my left leg going up. There are two fish that I don't know what their name is swimming elegantly through the water. One a black dish, and one a white fish.

"Hey..."

----

A serene woman's voice takes my attention from appreciating the beauty of the fish. While I can sense the warmth of her body leaning on my back. Our heads caressed each other and I can feel her almost bald hair on my neck. Resting itself comfortably.

"Hey... Mayumi."
