A Secret Unraveled (Completed)

Chapter 9: Transfer Student Time - 2nd Period

What a mood...

It was raining cats and dogs today, my favourite type of weather. But I'm stuck here and not out there, but at the same time I don't want to be out there, I want to be at home in my room.

Koro-sensei's head was now 33% larger according to Ritsu. He mentioned a new transfer student that was coming in today.

"Hey, you heard anything? I mean, since you're both new. Figures you transfers gotta stick together, right?" Hara asked Ritsu.

"Actually, I do know a little bit." Ritsu answered and told them what she told me.

"Compared to what he's capable of, well... Let's just say that I don't quite measure up." she finished and Koro-sensei had a worried look upon his face.

We all turned to face the door as it slowly opened, revealing a man dressed in white. He didn't say anything and walked in.

We stared at him in silence, then all of a sudden, a dove appeared in his hand. He chuckled as we remained silent in shock.

He introduced himself as Shiro, and that he's the transfer student's guardian.

No, it couldn't be the same guy, could it?... His presence feels oddly familiar...

I looked over at his direction and noticed Koro-sensei was in the corner in his liquefied form.

Seriously!

"When might we get to greet your, uh, ward?" Koro-sensei asked.

Shiro pulled a treat out of his sleeves, he apologized that his so called "ward" was late, he started walking to Koro-sensei's desk. 

He stopped and scanned the class, his sight landed in Nagisa's direction, then to the back to me.

Stupid white ghost costume... I can't see his eyes, but I can feel them on me...

"Something wrong?" Koro-sensei questioned.

"Not at all." he answered, as he placed the treat for Koro-sensei on his desk, "This seems an interesting group. I'm confident he'll fit in perfectly. Allow me to introduce him." He turned to the door.

I could sense a presence from the back of class and turned my head.

He's not coming through the door, I can feel him coming from behind... NO! No, that sounds weird...

"Now, Itona. Come." he commanded, while all the students were starting at the door, expecting someone to walk through, but nope.

A loud crash came from the back of the room causing heads to look back.

So, it is him... I haven't talked with him in forever, I wonder if he still remembers?...

Upon closer inspection, there isn't a single drop of water on him.

Strange...

Itona took his seat between Terasaka and Karma.

"Victory is mine. I have proven myself stronger than the classroom wall." he stated bluntly.

"Come on! Use the door next time!" everyone shouted.

"Only strength matters. Everything else is crap." he stated.

"I give you Itona Horibe." Shiro introduced, "Or if you prefer, just Itona."

What happened to him?... Unless...

"Hey, new kid." Karma noticed he was completely dry too. "It's coming down in buckets out there, and somehow there's not a drop on you. What's the story with that?" he asked, all the students looked at him.
