"So, the three of us are classmates?"
Ikki seed quite pleased upon hearing this, his face lighting up with his signature gentle smile.
He instinctively glanced at Eiji.
Was it fate? The two of them, who bore the surnas of two legendary knights, were gradually intertwining their destinies. This gave Ikki a sense of urgency, a feeling that he couldn't afford to slack off from now on.
After glancing at Eiji, he awkwardly turned his head away.
"Huh?"
Stella tilted her head, puzzled by Ikki's unusual reaction.
His expression was slightly awkward, as if he didn't dare to look directly at Eiji.
Stella frowned, then suddenly realized sothing, her face darkening like a pot.
Even she had to admit that Eiji's charm was truly extraordinary, to the point where it made her feel inadequate. No matter who you were, facing this guy might make your heart skip a beat, regardless of gender.
When he stood there, even butterflies or migratory birds would occasionally fly over and circle around him, as if the world itself acknowledged his charm.
"By the way, I've been aning to ask," Stella took another sip of her drink, pretending to be casual.
"Eiji, your surna is Nangou, right? Is it... that Nangou?"
"Yes."
"Wait, seriously? Are you a direct descendant of the God of War?"
Stella laughed on the surface, but her heart tightened.
For so reason, she suddenly felt like she had lost.
Even though the other person was a guy, he was more beautiful than her, and he even had this strange rival relationship with Ikki. It made her feel very uneasy.
"Not a direct descendant."
Eiji ignored the subtle thoughts of the two.
Ever since his rebirth, whether it was n or won, people would always give him furtive glances. He was used to it. Having too much charm ca with its own set of troubles.
"When people hear my surna, Nangou, they assu I'm a descendant of Torajirou Nangou. But actually, I was picked up by my master... He found falling from the sky on a snowy night."
That's right.
Eiji's rebirth was filled with fantastical elents.
According to his master, he was walking through the snow one day when he suddenly saw a golden light descending from the sky. Inside that light was Eiji.
The master, amazed by the sight, decided he couldn't ignore the extrely weak infant and took him ho, raising him with great care.
In this world of Blazers, this kind of thing could sowhat make sense. After all, so infants' Blazer abilities were so powerful that they might unconsciously activate, causing them to be separated from their parents.
But the master had secretly tried to find his parents in this world, only to co up empty-handed. From this perspective, his rebirth was indeed shrouded in mystery. It seed that in this life, he might truly have been born of heaven and earth, with no parents.
So, Eiji's luck after his rebirth was truly remarkable. If his master hadn't picked him up from the snow, he would have likely frozen to death in the icy wilderness.
But in reality, his luck was quite peculiar...
"It's almost ti for the opening ceremony. I'll head back first."
Eiji pulled his thoughts out of the past, waved at the two, and left the main gate.
"So, Eiji isn't a descendant of the God of War? This is the first ti I've heard that."
Ikki watched Eiji's retreating figure, feeling quite surprised.
Even though he wasn't a direct descendant, the fact that the God of War had given him his surna suggested that Eiji held a special place in the God of War's heart.
"Ikki—!"
A sudden low shout ca from beside him, startling Ikki.
"You're not going to get turned by that guy, are you?"
Stella asked nervously.
"Of course not!"
Ikki's face fell, and he couldn't help but shout.
***
At 9 a.m., the opening ceremony began on ti.
All three grades, totaling over 700 students and nearly 100 teachers, gathered in the auditorium to learn about this year's changes in the system from Kurono Shinguuji.
Then ca the student council president, Touka Toudou's speech. It was mostly the usual stuff—welco ssages, encouragent to work hard, and so on. Eiji couldn't be bothered to listen.
Around 10 o'clock, the teachers and students dispersed and returned to their respective classes.
Class 1-1.
Located on the third floor of the first teaching building, first room on the left.
This year, Hagun Academy had about 250 freshn, divided into ten classes of 25 students each.
When Eiji walked into the classroom, most of Class 1-1 had already arrived. Eiji quickly scanned the room and, aside from Ikki and Stella, didn't recognize anyone.
"Nangou-kun!"
Just as he thought this, an excited voice reached his ears.
Following the sound, he saw a girl with peach-gold short hair. She had a cute, slightly youthful face and an impressive "fate." She wore square-frad glasses with gold rims and was looking at him with bright eyes as she approached.
"You're the cara girl from that day?"
Eiji rembered her "fate"... no, I an, he rembered her face.
"Yes, yes! My na is Kagami Kusakabe. I can't believe Nangou-kun rembers . I'm so touched!"
The glasses girl was overjoyed, feeling that her efforts over the past three days hadn't been in vain.
"You know ?"
"Of course! I'm determined to beco a national TV reporter. Sothing like a na is no challenge for !"
Kagami giggled and struck a peace sign.
Three days ago, after parting ways with the handso boy, she had been tirelessly searching for any trace of him. Finally, she managed to get so information from the student council president.
"Damn, she beat to it!"
"She's acting all cute on purpose! She's showing off!"
"Does anyone know his na?"
The classroom quickly beca chaotic. Over a dozen girls ford small groups, chattering among themselves. So were sending flirtatious glances at Eiji, while others shot jealous looks at Kagami.
"Damn it, he's stealing all the spotlight!"
The boys, on the other hand, were on high alert, looking at Eiji as if he were a class enemy.
"Nangou-kun, I'm a huge fan of yours!"
" too! That line—'Is it okay if I defeat you?'—was so cool! It could totally be nominated for Hagun Academy's Best Quotes!"
"The footage of Nangou-kun was so cool! Even the Director was no match for him!"
"Um... am I the only one who thinks Nangou-kun looked the most handso when he was lying in a pool of blood?"
Before anyone knew it, over a dozen girls had surrounded Eiji, all looking at him with admiration.
"Footage?"
Eiji remained calm.
Compared to his past experiences, being surrounded by a re dozen girls was nothing.
"I fild it!"
The girls crowded around, and whether it was intentional or not, Kagami was nearly pushed out.
She quickly used her reporter skills to secure a pri spot, grabbing Eiji's arm and pressing it against her "fate."
