Having a mysterious and sad life can be a curse.
"Who is that?"
"That should be the newly transferred student, Akatsuki Kojou. He's in the same class as us, if I remember correctly.
"
"He seems to be different from the rest of the boys. "
"Please, Rias, almost all of the boys in this school are either way too scared to talk to any girls or are disgusting perverted. How different do you think he can be?"
"We will have to see if I'm right or not. By the way, do we know more about him other than the fact that he's a new student?"
"A third-year student just likes us. He moved to this town a few months ago and today he got enrolled at our school.
Sona-san, did find some rather sad information about him and that's the main reason she believes, Akatsuki-san transferred here. "
"Who doesn't have some sad memories in their life? "
"We all do, Rias, we all do…"
"Thank you Akeno and I'm sorry for bringing this up. "
Rias replied with a sad expression on her face.
"There's no problem, Rias. You don't have to apologize for that.
" the raven-haired beauty replied before she turned away again. She knew the meaning behind that sad expression on her friend's face all too well.
The crimson princess clearly felt that it was her fault for not helping her peerage with their trauma, but no matter what Rias was trying to do, those scars would not heal that easily. While Rias didn't tell her to observe the new student, Akeno knew her best friend better than anyone, probably better than she knew herself.
Akeno was very well aware of what Rias was searching for, she just hoped her friend would find it soon, and maybe then and only then would she stop doing this dangerous method that would one day make her regret whatever she did to achieve her desire…
Meanwhile, I felt watched, yet at the same time, not directly. It was a strange feeling, but no matter what I thought about it, it didn't help me at all, so like any other person, I've decided to forget about that feeling for a moment and continue walking towards my new school.
As I was about to go through the gate and walk towards my classroom, I heard someone calling my name.
"Akatsuki Kojou –san?"
I turned towards the girl that called my name and I saw a young girl with a slim figure, black hair styled in a short bob cut and violet eyes that were covered by a pair of glasses, while next to her was another young girl with long straight black hair that extends all the way down to her knees, with split bangs and heterochromatic eyes, with a violet left eye and a light brown right eye and just like the other girl, her beautiful eyes were being covered by a pair of glasses.
"That's my name, miss …"
"Souna Shitori, the student council president. This is my friend and vice president Tsubaki Shinra.
I just wanted to welcome you to our school and ask you about your little friend. "
"Kraaa! Kraa!"
"Of course not, Scar, she was joking. How could you be a small bird?" Turning my attention to the girls, I could see both of them raising their eyebrows at my interaction with Scar, a normal occurrence since Scar tend to follow me when I'm going outside for a walk or even when I'm in a public place.
"Sorry about that, he doesn't like when people call him small. As for who he is…he's kind of my pet.
"
"I see, but I still have to inform you that pets aren't allowed in our school, so would you please send him home, or if that's not possible, do you have someplace to keep him until you finish your classes?"
"Well, I don't necessarily need to send him home, since he can take care of himself, so I believe there would be no problem with this outcome. Also, thank you for telling me about this rule, Kaichou.
"
"No problem, Akatsuki-san, it is my job to inform all of the students about the various rules our school has, ever more so when you are a new student and probably no one had informed you about the various rules that are to be respected in our school. "
"Well then, I presume, I'll see you later, hopefully for anything other than being scolded by the student council. Have a good day you two.
"
After I left them alone, both Sona and Tsubaki looked at my back as I was entering the building after explaining to my pet friend that he can't follow me inside the school. Even though Sona didn't tell me that he can't stay at the window, I'd rather not risk getting on her bad side from the first day.
"What do you think about him?"
"I don't know what to say, Sona-sama. He seems to be way pleasant to eyes than most of the guys in our school, Akatsuki-san could very well be from a noble family due to how he seems to give the bare minimum respect to people around him, which would not only put him in a better light, but at the same would give him a few more chances of speaking with those people, and while he hides his pain rather well, Akatsuki-san still doesn't act like any other boy that we know.
Not only did he seem to admire us rather than be like most teenagers that only see us as trophies thanks to our bodies, but he also didn't even move his eyes from our eyes, not even for a second, which in my opinion, makes him many times better than any male that we saw. Then there's the fact that I didn't feel anything from him, not even the tiniest bit of magical power that even a normal human that doesn't know anything about magic and the supernatural has.
"
"Who knows, maybe he will become an ally or maybe he will be just a normal classmate. We will have to wait and see, meanwhile, we will have to keep an eye on him, even more,
