Ripples of The Future (Honkai Impact 3rd X OC)

St. Freya

Theresa : So you're our newest recruit? Welcome! I thought you'd be a bit taller.

Clyde couldn't help but smile at her. The small lady in front of him was Theresa apocalypse, granddaughter of Otto Apocalypse and her humour was infectious.

Clyde : You're not so tall yourself

Clyde was in the middle of a hallway. Clyde, Himeko, Tamaya and the three other girls bumped into Theresa when they were on their way to the principal's office.

Theresa : I think maybe we should continue our chat in my office. You've become quite popular it seems...

Clyde had noticed the stares that he and Tamaya were receiving, though most of them were curious about Tamaya as they whispered to each other. Some even glaring at her. He couldn't blame them, even he was confused when he first met Tamaya.

Theresa led the group through a series of hallways until they arrived at her office. Clyde was impressed with the short lady, he would've gotten lost all by himself. This school was like a maze.

Theresa : Please take a seat Clyde

Clyde sat and saw Theresa give the girls behind him a subtle nod. They left the room and Clyde was alone with the Principal. Why would Tamaya leave him too?

Theresa : Now then...

Clyde was caught off guard by the sudden change in character. She was cheery before, now her authority weighed heavily on the room.

Theresa : The captain of the Hyperion has allowed you to enlist into St. Freya. I must admit, I never thought that he'd do something like that. He made a deal with you too.

She let out an exasperated sigh

Theresa : But alas, I am the one who decides whether or not you stay. I'm not against letting you join our school, I'm just not comfortable with having one boy in an all girls school, it could end badly. What with the girls here being young and are in their "years of exploration" if you get what I'm saying.

Clyde more or less understood what the principal was hinting at.

Theresa : I'm assuming that you aren't qualified to be a teacher. Plus, there will be those that see you as a threat... you know, you're the only guy here and surrounded by girls... you might try to take advantage of them...

Clyde : I'm not interested in other girls so you don't have to worry

Theresa : Words mean nothing Clyde. I need some kind of guarantee

Clyde crossed his arms thinking. What could be a good guarantee to her?

Clyde : If I do something... unpleasant to any of the girls here, you can punish me however you want. I am a man of my word.

Theresa : Those are promising words

She smirked and Clyde realised that he did something wrong. Her face was terrifying! Whatever she had in mind wasn't something good!

'Uhm, Mary?'

'Ehek, your fault. Though in all honesty, I am proud'

'Proud of what?!'

'You just made a decision all by yourself. Oh my sweet little Clyde is all grown up now...'

He ignored the cheeky nun inside him, instead he looked back at Theresa who was rummaging through her file cabinet. She pulled out a file and read through it. With a focused expression, she whispered to herself.
