Right after that, I found myself standing in the hallway the next day. I stood outside the doorway of Fina's class, awaiting my na to be called.
"Alt? Can you co in?" [Ms. Ross]
I opened the door to see a large amount of gazes following my every step. The class felt different than when I looked at it from a spirit's perspective. The classroom's dinsions made it seem bigger as I looked up at the half-desk half-stairway room. If I had to guess, maybe a hundred students resided here.
"This here is the new transfer student, Alt Account." [Ms. Ross]
Yes, that was what I put as my last na.
"He cos from a far land by the na of... Urth. So, please forgive him for not knowing any of our customs." [Ms. Ross]
Nodding, I gave the class a smile.
"Hi, my na is Alt Account. I excel in martial arts and would be happy to get pointers regarding other subjects like magic. I hope to get along with you all." [Solace]
There was whispering among the students, but that didn't matter. All I saw was Fina watching with surprise.
"Are there any questions?" [Ms. Ross]
A few hands rose.
"What level are you?" [Blonde Haired Student]
"I'd like to kindly decline answering that question." [Solace]
I had learned beforehand that giving out your level isn't sothing you should do.
"Judging from your hair color, I can't tell which gods have given you a blessing. Can you tell us?" [Brown Haired Student]
I had also learned that the reason why people in this world had different hair colors was because of the blessings they've been given. For example: Red hair is a blessing to excel in fla oriented skills from the fire god. The only exceptions are black and white. Black for those who have not gotten a blessing, and white for those cursed by the gods.
"I've actually been blessed by Hema, the God of Malevolence." [Solace]
It was true I was given a title thanks to her, but there was no real blessing. Master told to dye my hair gray which could be the color of three different gods. Though there was also a matter of imitating a god's blessing without permission, Master said Hema wouldn't mind.
"Hema?" [Ms. Ross]
The students went quiet.
"...It appears question ti is over. Please take a seat wherever you like." [Ms. Ross]
She stretched out a hand over the class. It was a bit funny because the only open seats were next to Fina.
("What a coincidence.") [Solace]
I ascended the stairs, students averting their eyes as I passed them.
("Wow. How bad is Hema for them to react like this?") [Solace]
I stopped on the row Fina was at, and sat right next to her.
"Hey." [Solace]
"...Hi." [Fina]
"It appears fate has brought us together once again." [Solace]
Fina covered her mouth to stifle a laugh.
"I'm surprised you rembered that." [Fina]
"That's my line." [Solace]
It looks like we hit it off pretty well.
"Ah, but we should be quiet now. Class is starting." [Fina]
I nodded.
("I hope I don't fall asleep.") [Solace]
Contrary to my expectations, I didn't fall asleep. Matter of fact, I found myself srized watching Fina hard at work. So much so that class ended before I realized it.
"Good work." [Solace]
Fina glanced at as she yawned.
"...Did you not take any notes?" [Fina]
I had to think up an excuse.
"I don't know how to write." [Solace]
That was the first thing that ca to mind. Actually, I wasn't lying considering I didn't know their language.
"...Are you serious?" [Fina]
Fina stared at with a concerned expression.
"I co from afar, rember?" [Solace]
"From a land nad Urth?" [Fina]
"It's actually Earth, but close enough." [Solace]
Fina brought a hand to her chin.
"...I think this'll work." [Fina]
"What will?" [Solace]
"I'll teach you." [Fina]
That was a bit random. It's not everyday that you would suddenly offer help to a stranger.
"Are you sure about that?" [Solace]
"I'll even invite Leyhna. You know her, right?" [Fina]
Every positive emotion I had vanished.
"Of course I know her." [Solace]
Fina smiled.
"Great! We were actually planning on eting up soon. Why don't you co with us?" [Fina]
"Alright. I don't know anyone else here anyway." [Solace]
As we stood up, I felt a hand press against my shoulder.
"Hey." [???]
I turned to see so random brown haired guy standing there. For so reason, I felt like I've seen him before.
"May I help you?" [Solace]
"Soone is looking for you." [???]
"Can I get a na?" [Solace]
"I can't say his na." [???]
"I an YOUR na." [Solace]
The brown haired guy went silent for a mont. Maybe he was wondering if saying his na would result badly?
"Lockmann." [???]
"That's your na?" [Solace]
Lockmann nodded.
"Okay, is the person looking for a teacher?" [Solace]
Lockmann shook his head.
"Is it a student?" [Solace]
Lockamann nodded.
"Is it soone I know?" [Solace]
Lockmann shook his head.
"...Can we stop interacting like we're playing 21 questions?" [Solace]
Lockmann gave a confused look.
"Okay, let's ignore that. So if I don't know this person, and they are not a teacher. Why would I go?" [Solace]
"They'll bully you." [Lockmann]
There was no way this guy just said that.
"Is this so kind of show? That's very funny." [Solace]
Lockmann held a serious expression.
"...Really? Alright, are they even strong?" [Solace]
"They're level forty if that tells you anything." [Lockmann]
("|Analyze|.") [Solace]

I think I was fine in the level departnt.
"Okay buddy. Please tell this is a joke. This is the most cliche crap to do to a transfer student. Ever." [Solace]
"...Cliche?" [Lockmann]
I rolled my eyes.
"Do you guys not have that concept?" [Solace]
The look in Lockmann's eyes told he was lost.
"Alright. Here. Fina, do you have a sheet of paper I can have?" [Solace]
"...Here." [Fina]
I was handed this... yellow parchnt. I guess you could call it a discount paper. She also handed a feathered pen, sothing I've never used before. However, I still wrote what I wanted and handed it over to Lockmann.
"Give this to the guy who sent you. He can co find himself afterwards." [Solace]
Lockmann gave a strange look before taking his leave.
"...Are you sure you're going to be okay?" [Fina]
"Ah, don't mind it. So, where were we?" [Solace]
"Going to go et Leyhna." [Fina]
"Oh. Yeah." [Solace]
Now that was what had stressing.
("Knowing her loose tongue, I can only hope she doesn't blow my cover.") [Solace]
