Chapter 9: First day of school?

After a week, Alex went over to the school during the day. Only to see many people.

'I will come back later..' He thought, and left the crowd. He went back to his room and slept.

"Alex.' He seem to hear someone calling him. 'Alexandre Taw. Let's call him that."

"Let's not use my last name. We don't need him in danger."

"Than Alexandre Simon."

"Mm."

Than he opened his eyes to see the sun seem to have set. He got up and felt a headache.

After the headache is gone, he went to the school and saw not many people.

He walked forward and looked for his name. He put down Alex Bory. Since he doesn't want his real name to be discovered, in case he have an enemy like Muzz, reliving again.

He spotted his name, and he smiled.

'I got in.' He felt happy, as he went to Muzz and told the news.

"Congratulations! I cooked you some stuff!" A feast lay on the table.

"Woah. A cake? Isn't it expensive to bake one?" Alex said, fanning the air as he smell smoke.

"Hehe. Once in a life time you can get into that school. Let's celebrate!"

They ate and chatted till the moon hang up high.

The next day, Alex packed his sleeping bag and left. He doesn't have any attachments to the place.

When he reach the school, he registers with his name. He been assigned a room, but the lady at the counter said he doesn't have any specific lesson.

Leaving him confuse, he went to his dorm that is in another building. It is spilt into different parts. Accordingly to the classes and background of the person.

Alex found his room, expecting a room with many roommates. He took in a deep breath, and entered.

There is a single bed at the left side, there is a table at the right. Along with an empty shelf that seem to be able to adjust the level of the wooden plank. A few more wooden plank at the side of the shelf.

He saw a note on the table, it said to go to the outdoor space at noon.

He check the time, it was almost noon. So he put down his sleeping bag that has a few of his clothes down, and head over.

In the outdoor space.

Alex entered only to quickly dashed forward, as a blade landed at his spot. He quickly felt his senses warning him again, as he fell onto the floor, and saw something shiny flew past it.

'A death trap?' Alex thought, as he quickly glanced his surroundings only to feel a cold steel on his neck.

This is the first time he felt scared in this world.

"Relying on pure instinct can only take you so far." He felt the steel gone as he could breath again. A woman appeared in a loose grey shirt and black pants. She have bandages around her righf arm and she is wearing socks.

"Who are you?" Alex asked, looking at the familiar woman in front of him.

"Name's Andra. I managed to pull some strings and have you as a student directly under me." She grinned, "Cool right?"

Alex seem to be in thought, as he nodded.

"Let's start our first lesson!" She smiled, "After lunch! Let's grab some food. Can't fight on a empty stomach." She kept the dagger away, and walked out of the door. Leaving a stunned Alex.

"Alright?..." He muttered, walking out too.

In an office.

A boy is seating on a big chair.

"Andra found someone she is willing to teach." He muttered, he's blue eyes shining of great wisdom. As he smiled, "Hmm." He lean against his chair, looking up. "Things about to get interesting."
