The day ended and I ate dinner alone. Since there is still no food inside the fridge, I have to buy food outside. The convenience store was nearby so its not really a problem for . It was the first ti I have eaten all by myself since I was more used to the feeling of soone eating dinner in front of you. Eating alone is kind of... lonely yet sohow nice and quiet. I may have been too used to being with soone else that I forgot that I was an introvert in nature. After eating dinner and washing the dishes, I have nothing else to do so I decided to go to bed early. Tomorrow is another day and the day that I will go back to school. I transferred exactly when the school is about to start so that I don't have the need to catch up with the lessons. I hate being left behind in lessons and catching up to them is a pain in the ass.
I lay down in the bed that my parents used in the past. Their scents are still lingering in the blankets and pillows making it a bit comfortable to . Still, I can't sleep. Due to my discovery of the hidden world of magicians, my mind has been boggling for how many hours already. I wouldn't mind doing sothing magical but after knowing other entities are lurking all around us, I suddenly felt troubled. I don't want to be paranoid but now, this is serious. I grab the gloves out of my pocket and observed it. These gloves are no longer sothing that can be treated as a normal item. With its unique ability to use flas, these gloves can either turn soone into a human to a magician. If that was the case, I can use it, right?
Still, I don't want to be involved in sothing like this. I don't want my life to be too chaotic and this demon and magician things are not a good addition to my life. I prefer the quiet, mundane life of mine than be involved in a fight. That is why I prefer slice of life genres in ani than action because I hate it. I am not a hero so why play as one? I sighed and tossed the gloves to the cabinet beside the bed and turned off the lamp's light and drifting to sleep. Tomorrow is a new day...
...
Before the sun fully shines out of the sky, I was already out of my bed and stretched out before going to the bathroom and took a bath. After the cold bath, I started heating up the leftovers of my food last night. Since I bought a little ham in a can, there was still a bit of leftover food left on it. I know that this was not the best lifestyle I ever had but at least, I can depend on myself now without relying on others. After heating up and eating my ager breakfast, I prepared my bag and uniform to go to school. Then my eyes landed on the gloves resting on the cabinet. These might be a magical item but it was also a useful item that I can use if I ever get into a dangerous situation especially now that I know the hidden existence of those creatures. I hesitate for a mont before deciding to bring it along with . I put them inside my pocket. The shoes were also taken into consideration too and since these shoes can change their appearance, I can use it as an indoor or outdoor shoes depending on the situation. I have my bike when I was still in middle school so I didn't need to walk. The school is only a few kiloters away from my house and can be reached if you take a bike for 10 minutes or if you are walking, you will reach it around 20-30 minutes depending on how fast you walk.
The sun is high up in the sky and you can barely find any clouds to cover you therefore, the heat was intense. I pedaled like crazy just to avoid the crazy heat and managed to arrive in school around 7 minutes. I ca a bit more early than predicted but drenched in sweat. I have no other choice but to cool down on a nearby store and buy a bottle of water. While buying water, I can see a few students hanging out on the store and has yet to enter the premises of the school. From the way they look to , they seed to be delinquents so they might be there to cut classes. Delinquents are just too hard to understand sotis and only a few of them are actually good people that are hiding under that scary-looking face of them. I didn't linger in the store since I don't want to get the attention of the delinquents when one of the delinquents hold my shoulder.
"Hey."
My first reaction would be to counter it but I did not because I don't want to ss up my first day of school. I turned around and looked at the delinquent. He looks like he was a real thug and he looks like he can kill people just by glaring at them. He is not that burly but he is a bit masculine. He has brown hair and he has earrings on both ears. He glared at like a delinquent would. I am not scared at his eyes because I have dealt with countless different bullies in my middle school days and they all vary from their looks.
"You dropped your wallet man. Don't forget it," he said and handed the blue wallet which is indeed my wallet.
"Uh, thanks," I said before putting the wallet back to my pocket.
"Your welco. You are a new face, are you a new student?"
"Yeah. I just moved into the neighborhood."
"I see. Welco to the Sakuramiya High. You are the first person who didn't run away after seeing glare at them."
"I am used to any kind of stares from different people and I am usually indifferent on them so it didn't bother too much."
The guy chuckled and tapped my shoulder. "Ha, thank goodness. I may be a delinquent but I don't bully others. They are just too intimidated from my looks that is why they didn't bother to even talk to ."
I see. So he is one of those delinquents that may have a look of threatening thug but has the heart of a good friend. It's rare to find good people like this.
"Well, I am not easily intimidated so if you are bored, you can talk and hang out with if you like."
"Nah, just go on. I don't want to drag you down. But I have a friendly advice. Since I am a well-known delinquent here, I know who are the people that really have a bad attitude. Most of the guys here who looked like a heartthrob or a celebrity has nasty traits. If I were you, don't trust them easily because they can easily deceive people."
"Thanks for the friendly reminder. I am Kazuma Fukuyama, you are?"
"My na is Godou Tachibana but they call Godou. Are you fine if I call you Kazuma?"
"Sure."
"Then go along. I heard the opening ceremony is about to happen. You have to find your classroom before the ceremony happens."
"What about you?" I asked.
"Nah, I am still waiting for a friend, you don't have to worry about ."
After my conversation with Godou, I entered the school premises. I was quite wrong on Godou before. He might look like a very dangerous person but he is kind. I can sense from his voice the lack of malice and negativeness that I can usually feel on a person saying sothing opposite on what he was saying so I can tell that Godou is a genuinely good person. Now, my concern is the guys that Godou ntioned. This school might be a place where devious people have gathered. Just as I was about to go to the bulletin board to find my classroom, the phone in my pocket vibrated which ans a notification arrived. This phone still has no service provider and is not yet connected to any internet connection so that ans the only app that would give a notification right now is the Anonymous app. I opened the app and checked the notification.
"Demonic Energy detected. Level: 3 Danger: Minimal. Magician, please proceed in caution to the area you are about to venture."
I was taken aback from the notification. Demonic Energy? Does that an, the sa demons that caused the fire in Asakusa? I looked around the place and frowned. All I see are normal people. Who is this demon and where is he? I am not entirely sure now if these people can be trusted any longer. With these demons on the prowl, trusting anyone including Godou is going to prove as one of my hardest...
