"Hhhhoooaaahh…"
The man took a big yawn, but his eyes were still drowsy. He slowly uses his hands to rub off the drowsiness from his eyes before sitting up.
As soon as the man sits up, he looks around the room with a confused mind. He saw the room had a study table, a small wardrobe, and the bed on which he was sitting. The room also had several posters all of them had the same anime figure with different poses.
"Nnngh…"
The man took a small yawn before murmuring out, "It was all a Dream?" His eyes were still drowsy as he was murmuring.
As soon as the man finished talking, he heard a woman's voice.
"Ratsujin! Why are you still sleeping!"
"Get up quick! Otherwise, you will be late for the academy on your first day."
Ratsujin's eyes were barely open. His mind was still dreaming as he replied to the voice.
"Academy??"
"Academy....."
"First Day...."
The woman's voice interfered and said, "Don't tell me you were playing games all night. Wake up today is the 1st of August. Your first day at the Vanguard Academy.."
"Aaaaaaahhhhhhh…!"
Just as the woman's words entered Ratsujin's ear, he shouted in panic.
All of his drowsiness jolted away in a split second. Ratsujin continued to speak while keeping his eyes shut.
"No... No.... No....!"
"Today is the 1st of August!!"
"I am late on my first day!!!!"
"How Did....."
Before Ratsujin could finish talking, he felt a warm, gentle touch on his shoulders.
"Shhhh.....!"
"Calm down....."
The woman's soothing voice entered Ratsujin's ear. It urged him to stop panicking.
Ratsujin stopped panicking as soon as he felt the touch and heard the voice.
"Now open your eyes...." The voice gently asked Ratsujin.
After hearing the voice, Ratsujin slowly opened his eyes and saw a woman standing right before him.
The woman had long black hair with smooth milky skin, and dark blue eyes. The woman had an ethereal glow in her eyes. Her eyes were comforting Ratsujin and reassuring him without even her talking a single word.
"Hic… ngh…"
"Mom...."
"I am late for my first day." Ratsujin slowly murmured to the woman in a voice filled with regret.
The woman, Ratsujin's mom, answered in a gentle voice, "There is still time; just look at the clock."
As soon as Ratsujin heard his mother's voice, he looked before him on the wall and saw the time.
"It's 7...." Ratsujin murmured in a disappointed voice.
Suddenly, Ratsujin realized something. He looked back at the clock and saw the time again just to make sure he is right.
After looking at the clock for the second time, Ratsujin looked at his mother and said in his confused voice. "It's 7!!"
"The Academy Start Art 8:30..."
Ratsujin's mother nodded as he reassured him as he finished talking.
"It Means I Still Have Time!!" Ratsujin yelled out loud in his excitement.
"I stil...."
Suddenly, Ratsujin stopped his excitement and asked his mother.
"Didn't You Say I Was Getting Late??"
Ratsujin's mother giggled as she heard Ratsujin's question and responded with a gentle smile. "It was an Innocent lie to make you wake up."
"Now, get ready before you truly get late.." Ratsujin's mother stated in her gentle voice before she walked out of his room.
Just as Ratsujin's mother left, he quickly pulled off his blanket and got out of bed, exposing himself.
Ratsujin is a ten-year-old child with brown hair that covers his crimson eyes.
Ratsujin closed his eyes as he stood up, but as he closed his eyes. His mind showed him glimpses of the dream that he was just in.
After a few moments, Ratsujin opened his eyes and murmured to himself. "All Of That Was A Dream..."
