Elemental School

Chapter 11 - A New Girl.

I got up from my seat, as the bell rang, as school just ended. It been 2 days after the the incident of Darkness's raid. Teachers were able to clean up before people enter the school yard, which seems like clean magic, in my opinion. I grab my briefcase that was dangling at the edge of my desk. I glare over my shoulder, seeing Haruko looking out the window, with her chin leaning on her hand. Her eyes were red still. We are on the 3rd day of this week, so it's Wednesday. I cough a bit, as I see Kyzou. He was at the edge of my desk already, wait what? 

"Katsu, I have some news."

I sigh, as I flop onto my chair, leaning back a bit. It must be long. "What is it?"

"We are having new students transferring to this school from other countries."

"So what's say and done, we still have transferring students.."

He nods. I sigh.

I jump a bit, as I hear Haruko spoke. "How many students?" I glare behind me, as she was standing behind me, with her arms crossed. 

"Just two." Just two, he said. Two hundred, maybe. I scoff as I look up at him, after glaring at Haruko. Now that I think about it, I'm a half god. There are multiple dragons and each one of those dragons has a pupil or someone that they have to protect, like a guardian. Is there any students in this school that is a half god, like me? I just ponder about that for half a minute, as I can hear Kyzou's voice rise. Sounds like a greeting. "Yo." I look up, seeing who he is saying 'yo' to, as it was Zailura. "What are you guys talking about?" She asked.

"New students." I mumble. I yawn a bit, as I adjust my tie. I stood up. "We are going to go home now, we can continue this conversation next time." I hear someone say, as it was Haruko's voice. I already see her walking out of the classroom. Damn, she's fast. I look both at Kyzou and Zailura and nod. "Bye." Then I push them gently aside, as I chase after Haruko.

We were walking on the sidewalk, along the road, as we were 20 meters away from the school. "How many lifes does each dragon have to protect?" I look over at Haruko, as she was looking downwards at the ground.

"One." I said.

"Do you ever think there's other half gods at this school, beside you?" She asked. She's like reading my mind. Or she can just tell by the expression on my face during that conversation.

"Most likely. But they must have some unique power. Like how my flames are golden.. Well, for now." For now, I said. Because they will turn black soon.

She nods to my answer, as she stayed quiet. I decide to do the same. But 5 minutes later, she spoke again.

"I can sense and feel strong pressure of power to a person." 

"Like me?"

"Of course." 

We stopped in front of a park, with a poor slide, but a tall and good length swing set. On one of the swings, was a girl. Wait. I examine the girl, as she was wearing our school uniform? She had a necklace on. Well, the necklace is a short length necklace with a big centre thing. The gem is yellow. I can seedragons sorta carved on the sides of the centre gem. There are a lot of details carved into the metal of the necklace. Dragons? Huh. Her eyes are dark brown, and her hair colour is black. Her hair is done to her chest, but she wears it up in two buns, with two strands of hair out of the bun, covering her ear. I elbow Haruko. "Do you know her?"

She looks over, but she shook her head. "She's new, in my opinion."

New, huh? She does look new, but what bothers me is that necklace.. I seen it before. From those stories my guardian told me about. I walk towards her, as she glare at me, with a confused face.

"Hello." I said. 

"Hello." She replied. She had a type of a teenager girl's voice, well of course. But with a quiet and medium tone in her. 

"Are you a new student?" 

She tilts her head with her eyes squinted, then a while later, she shook her head.

"Not good English." Not good English? That's some grammar- Oh. Not good at English?

"Japanese?" She shook her head again. "Chinese." She said.

So I have to speak Chinese with her? The only language I speak with Kyzou? Well fuck sakes.

"What's your name?" I spoke in Chinese. I glare behind me, as I just see Haruko staring at me blankly.

"Jiao. Jiao Xia."Now that's where why her voice sounds like an Asian teenager girl. But the tone of her voice sounds different from English to Chinese.

"Your a student to Elemental School, correct?" I ask, looking at her uniform.

She nods. "Yes. With a friend. But I can't... Find him."

I sigh. The more she talks, the less I understand, not to be rude, but I don't understand Chinese alot. Remember, I was born in America at first, so I learned English.

"What's your name?"She asked.

"Oh, uh. It's Katsu. Katsu Zanerous."

Her eyes widen? Is she surprised? "Zanerous?! That last name.."She ponders, looking down at the ground.

"So your the half god of the fire dragon?!" HUH? How does she know?! This is bad.. But to her know im a half god just by a last name, is it legendary?

"Yes. How do you know?"

"Because my parents know a man named Valen Zanerous, and he was the father of a half god boy."

That's my father's name, Valen.. But how.. I look at her necklace, pondering as I stare at those dragons carved. The lines of the dragons that were carved in the metal of her necklace, was white. White? In our element colours, that's light. Wait- don't tell me..

"Are you the half god of the light dragon?"

She nods, smiling. WHAT THE HELL?

I felt a pat on my shoulder, as I look over my shoulder with my shocked eyes. It was Haruko.

"Are you fine?"

"Y-Yes.."

"You were having a long conversation, in Chinese. What were you talking about?" She asked.

"Dragons and half gods. Her name is Jiao Xia and this girl is a fucking half god to the dragon of light." Her eyes widen, as well.
