Hopefully that teacher Taka and headmaster will keep his skills in secret. Itaka walk another round exploring as much as he can in record time while thinking about the upcoming semester. No doubt that there will be a lot of famous family sent their kid to Academy and he will be bullied considering the fact that he is a cripple. His skilled was extraordinary but without magic he just a cripple. Anyone has magic will be surprior than others. Put that aside,he still wandered how many talented students in the academy who actually trained a lot. The chances are small but it better than nothing. And if Phoenix Academy have that small chance,they will definitely take part in the annual Academic Tournament. So if one of these student have good performances they will have a better chance to join Phoenix Organization and maybe graduate early at the age 15. A spot in Phoenix Academy is their dream except him. Itaka always loyal to his philosophy and he like to travel,too. Itaka stopped when saw the girl from the coffe house sitting by the bench,looking distant. He knew that look. The look craves for freedom,that make him wonder why does she have that look. Maybe her parents are strict to her. Sending two bodyguard to protect her,can't imagined how she feel about that.

-Hi.

His voice startled her but managed to calm herself when her eyes land on him. The boy from earlier.

-What are you doing here?

Itaka asked carefully,trying not to upset the first girl he meet when live here. She looked kinda trouble. Miyano remained quiet,looking at him with caution before realized that he has no ill intention to her. Itaka jaw dropped when her eyes become watery and in that moment he panicked.

-Why is she crying? Shit.

Itaka think fearfully cause he doesn't how to act in this situation. Remembered that he doesn't have the best childhood. He has to remained calm so he follow his instinct. He sat down next to her,pull her head on his shoulder,wrapped an arm around her and let her cried. He stay there by her side,refused to leave the vulnerable girl out here.

-What's wrong?

He spoke softly after she stopped crying,genuinely concerned about her condition. Miyano swiped her tears and began talking to him. She knew that she can trust this boy and there is something about him make her heart warmed. Maybe the feeling of being concerned? None of her parents concerned about her,they just demand that she must become perfect to make them proud. She has so much pressure to meet her parent expectation,they never though how she feel,what she want. They just make her do thing she doesn't want.

Itaka stay quiet during the whole time,listened carefully to her words. His faces is full of sympethetic and feel bad for her.

-Sorry to bother you....

She mumbled while blushing lightly,looking at his soaking shirt.

-Glad I can help.

He smiled softly at her.

-Listen,if you don't like it just talked to your parents about how you feel. I have a philosophy that promotes freedom and always stick to that. Maybe you have to find your own.

This is the best advice he can give to her,the rest is up to her to deal with her problem. Miyano listened to him and nodded with a smile on her face.

-By the way,my name is Miyano. What yours?

-Itaka.

The birth of a beatiful friendship blossom and they spend hours taliking to each other.
