Don't Die, Revolution!

Empire Academy

"Yo! You're Y/n right? My name is Shobu, Ms. Najenda asked me to show you around, so come on, I'll bring you to all the people you should know, and who you should watch out for." Shobu introduced himself, winking to me as the bell for lunch rang.

"Uh, yeah." I responded, smiling awkwardly, a bit put off by his energy.

"Alright, let's go!" He said, throwing his arm over my shoulder as he walked off, practically dragging me along with him.

He dragged me towards the cafeteria, greeting people he knew along the way.

He stopped, pointing out towards a pair of students who look a year younger than us. "Right there, those two are Mine and Tatsumi, Mine is a pretty serious girl, but she's a sweetheart nonetheless to those she cares about, and Tatsumi has recently joined practically every sports club you could think of, he's a young prodigy that people are saying could be given the title "Incursio." A title given to our P.E. Teacher Bulat for being the MVP in over three sports teams in his sophomore." He explained. "Rumour also has it that they're so madly in love Tatsumi already proposed to Mine." He added, grinning.

He suddenly pulled me off before I could ask any questions, cutting through the cafeteria line, assuring everyone there that he and I weren't ordering anything.

He held his hands out to the tall man on the other side of the counter. "This here is Susanoo! But everyone calls him Su! He's our Chef, and works here since he owes Ms. Najenda his life, he can make anything that seems unappealing a masterpiece on the plate, right Su?" Shobu asked, leaning over the counter. "Oh, there's also another chef named Bols, but he scares people easily so he usually works in the back."

"Mhm, if you have any recommendations for the menu, don't be afraid to tell me." Su replied, nodding his head stoically as he pointed to the menu behind him, which was chalked full of hundreds of different food items.

"I-I'll pass." I stuttered.

"Alright! Let's go then!" Shobu shouted, dragging me off again.

Walking down the halls, we heard some shouts, and Shobu rolled his eyes as he recognized them. "Come on." He mumbled, running off.

I ran after him, turning a corner to see two students arguing, another student pulling weakly on one of the male's sleeves, as if begging him to stop.

"Hey! You two again? Cut it out!" Shobu shouted. "If you don't, I'm getting Budo!" He stated.

The two males both tensed up, and one walked off, grumbling something incoherent.

"Sorry Shobu." The other apologized, rubbing the back of his head. "But he kept insulting Kurome." He added.

Shobu sighed. "Don't apologize to me, go do it to Okami, or Budo himself, I'll go have a talk with Ms. Najenda." He responded.

"Kay." The male nodded, determined to see it through as he walked off, gently clasping his hand in the girl's.

"You okay?" She asked.

"Yeah."

"Ah, sorry Y/n, that bastard that ran off earlier was Syura, or Shula, he goes by either, but he thinks he can get away with whatever he wants because he's the V.P.s son, so it's probably best if you steer clear of him." Shobu said, turning back to me.

I nodded, agreeing, not liking that kid's vibe.

"As for the other two, they're Wave and Kurome, Wave is in the same grade as Tatsumi and Mine, and he's a lot like Tatsumi, but more susceptible to his emotions, he's a pretty good guy though. Kurome is the girl with him, she's a year younger than him, but no one has problems with that, mainly because they always look so cute together, and are definitely perfect for each other." He introduced, before pulling me along again.
