Jeno arrived at Sky Academy on a sunny day of March. The trees that were slowly starting to bloom surrounded the small paved alley. It looked expensive, especially the street lamps made of marble. Each one of them had a different shape at the top. One was an owl, while another was a wolf and so on. They kind of looked creepy, but in the same time, aesthetic. The trees were sending long shadows on the car that was moving fast. Jeno looked away from the window, at his mom who was driving in silence. 

"Why is the school so far away from the city?" The young man asked while his eyes drifted away from her side profile, on the trees. They entered that paved road ten minutes ago yet he could spot no building. A forest was surrounding the school and he heard from his mom that it had a dorm, a canteen and a library as well. That was going to be his home for the next year, which kind of sent Jeno chills down his spine. He wasn't used with such schools since he went to public ones all his life which meant he always came home in the evening. But now everything changed because after three of his old classmates committed suicide together, his parents decided that it would be better for him to transfer because the atmosphere there might be too much for him. So there he was, on his way to his new school. 

"It's a private school Jeno." His mom finally replied and looked at him through the mirror. "You'll love it. It has such a mysterious architecture and the people are really nice. I met few of your new teachers and they are all really nice and the students too. They all seem focused on their studies and the whole vibe is different. It's really obvious it is a private school after all." 

"If you say so." Jeno mumbled as he rested his head by the cold window. He kept on looking outside until the tall tower of a building he still couldn't see yet, popped out from the trees. It was sharp and the roof was a dark shade of grey. He could see a dark window but that was all for another few more minutes. But it was enough, because it got him more curious about his new school.   

He could see the trees starting to turn red while the car went closer to the school's entrance. Even the path changed, becoming a dark shade of red. The street lamps were now black and they no longer had animals on them. Suddenly, a pair of gates appeared some meters in front and Jeno could finally see the school. His jaw dropped when he saw the architecture of the building. It really gave you a mysterious atmosphere, but the young man liked it from the start.

The moment the car was driven through the gates, Jeno felt something weird tickling the tips of his fingers. It made him frown, because the feeling resembled a small shock as if you were electrocuted, but it was softer. 

Suddenly feeling a bit excited, Jeno showed a small smile when his mom parked the car in front of the marble staircase. He could see a woman and two men approaching them. They all looked expensive and smart, which made Jeno gulp. His mom stepped out of the car and bowed in respect. The three strangers did the same and when he also exited the vehicle, the brunette bowed too. 

"So this is Lee Jeno." The woman said and showed a smile. "It is a pleasure to finally meet you. My name is Kim Jiyoung. I am the principal of this institute. These are mister Moon and mister Jung. They are teachers at this school." Jeno looked away from the woman, at the two men. They didn't gave the younger the same vibe as his old teachers gave him at his old school, but maybe, they weren't used with that system. Maybe even the classes will differ a bit. "Let's give you a tour shall we? Your mom can join us since she still has to talk with us a bit after you are settled." 

"Oh..." Jeno nodded and followed the group of teachers up the marble staircase. They were all wearing similar colored clothes, such as dark blue, white, grey, dark red and black. That must be the theme in that school. 

"There aren't classes today." Mister Moon explained as they walked past some empty classes. "There was this issue few days ago with a girl from a class. We don't like to talk about it, especially because you are new here."
