Chapter 2
[ Irregular ]
During break most of my classmates talked with each other. It appears that they were all attending the same school when they were middle schoolers. They didn't even bother introducing themselves this morning. "Seems like Hina is in the same situation that I am in". I walked towards her. She was sitting in front while I was sitting at the back. "Don't you have anyone you know in here?". She replied <

I felt as though I was being watched. I quickly looked around. "Maybe I'm just imagining things". The bell rang and the break was over. Everyone quickly ran back to their seats. I didn't make it to my seat in time. Right before I could take a seat Mr. Julius came in and called my name. "I blew it". But strangely enough he just called my name and that's it. He allowed me to take my seat. As I took my seat I saw Hina laugh at me. I looked around and everyone had a face saying "What the?". They seem to be wondering why I didn't get punished by a strict teacher. "Don't look at me with faces like that. Even I don't know what's happening". The teacher said to get ready because we were going to the gym. A testing of Overdrive gears was about to happen. Everyone was excited. I didn't feel like that was really that special. They all just want to show off.
We arrive at the gym. Almost all the males were stretching up and doing weird poses. I wasn't really paying attention but I heard some guy say "I'll definitely make Hina fall for me with this". "Goodluck with that bud. Honestly why are guys lusting after women just for their body". We went out of the locker rooms and started the testing. The boy who was after Hina was first.. "It isn't alphabetical? So the teacher chooses who goes next". The boy screamed <
The teacher called me out. I stepped forward and just stood there. I sighed. "Overdrive". My gauntlets appeared. Everyone looked at me. <

She nodded. She chuckled as she left the room.
I took a seat and laid my head down the table. A few moments after I heard laughing. "They're finally done with the testing? That was quick". I continued my sleep act. Everyone went into the room. The teacher announced that class dismissal will be early today since it's the first day and that they also have to take care of some things. Everyone was so happy. "Why go to school if you're just excited by early dismissal". The teacher came to me and told me to stay. Hina looked at me curiously. I agreed to stay. He dismissed class and told me to follow him to the Principal's office.
We arrived at the Principal's office. <
