Dishonesty

Chapter 1- Let's talk about it

There is a whole continent up in the north, filled with people with magic powers whose story isn't told by any of the school's history books. This continent has a different essence, something else that the continents in the south do not have. Mana. Magic essence that only the natives of the north have within themselves and are able to control. Although they vow to protect the ones who aren't able to protect themselves, in the south they are feared for their mystical ways. There are no frontiers or walls between the north or the south, anyone is free to travel between the two poles. However, the people of the south are afraid of the powers of the northerns and, on the other hand, once a northern runs out of mana, there is no way to replenish it in the south.

Oriana White, like many other mages, came to the south to run away from the destiny handed to her. She is hoping to find a way to escape with her lies and just live a normal teenage life. Living in the dark side of history, Oriana had only seen the world through blurry eyes, ignored the pain without acknowledging how bad it had gotten. Although, after the elf incident in the Clover Kingdom, Oriana couldn't ignore it anymore. The life she chose for herself, she never realised how hard it would be and so she ran away to the South. Living in the Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, Oriana enrolled in the Karasuno Highschool where she found welcoming new friends.

It's been one year since Oriana came to the South. After escaping the Magic Knight's duties and neglecting her own magic, she found happiness in the simplest things in her new life.

However, even though she has not noticed it yet, her dark past pursues her and an odd future awaits her.

The night settled by the time the volleyball team had cleaned the gymnasium. Even though the coach asked the boys to wrap up earlier and get some rest before the training camp, the team trained until the sun set and their energy tanks were completely empty.

Oriana welcomed the light breeze after a hot and sunny day. She was trying to focus on the relief from the heat so she wouldn't remind herself that she was, once more, waiting for her boyfriend and his chaotic team. Her club didn't hold activities until so late, so she has been waiting for a while. However, one other thing was bothering her, to the point she might or might not have broken another bullet proof glass.

The door to the club room opened and Sugawara was the only one on his way out. Also, the first one.

"Oi, Daichi! I'm stealing your girlfriend for a bit!" Suga divulged to the club room after noticing Oriana on waiting duty once again.

Sugawara didn't have time to take three steps before Daichi burst through the door with his jacket in hand,

"Wait for me, you two!"

"Nah, you always take too long. We are going on ahead." Oriana speaks from the bottom of the stairs, waving goodbye to her boyfriend.

It had been a long day as Oriana had witnessed another of Michimya's attempts to be relevant with her groupie while bullying a first year. Of course, Oriana felt the need to intervene, as much as she hated the fact that Michimiya would distort the whole story when telling it to her old friend Daichi, coincidently, Oriana's boyfriend. She was fuming just imagining the whole scene and how her boyfriend would tease her on how jealousy was not a good thing. However, Sugawara understood why Oriana would be suspicious of Michimiya. None of them ever felt any mana coming from her, but Sugawara's danger sensors would always tick off when the girl was around.

They have been avoiding the subject, as it only resulted in a wave of annoyance for the both of them, but after the episode during the lunch break, and this being the third time Oriana had broken a bullet proof glass, Suga knew they needed to talk about it.
