Nanaya was sitting in the classroom attributed to Aitori's early years. The pastel-colored decorations almost gave him a headache. He barely listened to Angel Ferret explaining the specifics of the S.D.A. complex and buildings. On the ground floor was everything that was shared between the three schools. The laundromat, the library, the study room, the cafeteria, the gymnasium and the swimming pool as well as the infirmary. The first floor was reserved for Saurity, the second for Darkeas and the third for Aitori. The roof was also freely accessible. The west wings of the three floors included the classrooms as well as the teachers' room. To the far north was the headmaster office, and the east wing housed the dormitories and showers.

While explaining this, Angel Ferret distributed the class timetables. Nanaya refused with a wave of his hand.

"I will not stay." He reminded.

The professor just nodded and passed the papers to the next student.The last young girls were getting back to their schedules when a few knocks knocked on the door. When it opened to the principal, all the students stood up out of respect. Nanaya sighed and did the same. Behind Bunny, Shadow also stepped forward. But before the young man could even breathe in relief, Darkeas' headmaster spoke up.

"Sorry, Uchiri." He said. "We have bad news. "

Nanaya remained silent. He looked the adult straight in the eye. He felt his stomach tighten. 

A bad new ? Of what genre ?

"Our software prevents us from modifying registrations once they have been registered." Bunny continued. "I'm sorry, but you're going to have to stay in Aitori. "

The young man could not find the words. He who had been impatient for this return, found himself in another class he could not leave.

"You can join Darkeas next year." Shadow added. "But on the condition of having impeccable grades. Our schools only welcome good students. So, I can understand that this course is not what you wanted, but you will have to arrange yourself to work there properly anyway. That being said, I return to my floor before starting to throw up rainbows."

"Don't throw up on the carpet, Shadow-kun." Bunny crooned. 

The headmaster raised a middle finger at his blind colleague and walked away. Bunny had remained focused on the class. She just smiles.

"I'm sorry, Uchiri-san." She lied. "I'll arrange for your uniform. We never had a boy in our school, but keeping you in Aitori is enough without making you wear a skirt on top of that. I also have to see where I am going to settle down. You can't decently sleep in the dorms with the girls. Come see me in my office when class is over. Okay ?"

"... yes, Bunny-Kochō "

The principal greeted the class and left them at last. Nanaya was trying to get his wits together. He was going to have to play the magical... boys for a year. And above all, he was going to have to hide it from his father. All the girls were already seated. The young man did not come back to reality until the professor held out a sheet in front of him. The timetable.

"Finally you will need it, Uchiri." She assured.

Nanaya just nodded silently, picked up the paper, and sat down in his chair.

The return to school having started in the afternoon, to ensure the safe arrival of all the students, even the most distant, it was three o'clock when the bell rang. Angel Ferret had been very clear about the next day's lesson: The students were going to receive their guardian and with that, their powers.

If all the girls were jumping for joy at the idea, Nanaya preferred to quickly slip away to the north wing. The door to Bunny's office was recognizable because it was much bigger than the others. He stopped in front and knocked, entering only when he heard the adult's voice allow him to do so.
