Teyvat University – Day 1

Every year, an odd scene unfolds on the day of the start of the school year in the university. The previous students, all members of different clubs, gather at the entrance of the building with the goal of promoting their own club.

The reason? The financing. Indeed, the university’s policy imposes certain financing conditions to its students. If they want to obtain funds, they must recruit at least 3 members. And of course, the more there are members, the more the financing and the privileges are accepted to clubs.

It’s in that frame that a student with a… Particular appearance, was standing in the corner of the schoolyard. Papers in hand, dressed in her uniform and hair styled with a big hat set on her dark hair. She was energetically shaking flyers with hope of attracting attention on her speech.
“The astrology club recruits! Join us to learn on how to predict your destiny!”
But her words were heard by no one… Except a few students that only stopped their track to look at the body, and the beauty of the young woman.

After long minutes of unsuccessful attempts, Mona, because it is what her name was, gave up by turning around to face a young, blonde woman that was waiting by being on her phone.

Mona: I give up… It’s too hard to recruit people, Amy.

Fischl : I already told you to call me Fischl in public.

Mona: That’s the least of my worries….

Fischl: Such insolence. Anyway, you don’t have to worry about those newbies, I’ve observed them attentively and no one deserves to get close to you. I, Fischl, president of the astrology club, princess of fate and… Destiny… Should fully be enough to fill this lack of members.

Mona: As big as your self confidence is, I don’t think it’s sufficient enough to convince the club management council… We aren’t getting to having a room nor any financing at this state…

Being in a state of hopelessness, Mona put down the flyers she had in her hands to sit at Fischl’s side. As she just sat down at the side of her friend, a strong gust of wind blowed the flyers away, scattering them in the sky.

The young woman assisted to this show with emotionless eyes, letting out a disappointed sigh before lowering her head. “I suppose that’s fate…” She thought.

But as hope was slowly drifting away from Mona’s thoughts, the latter felt flyers caressing her face. Before her very own two eyes, someone came to give her flyers back.

???: I didn’t manage to get all of them back. But it should be enough, right ?

The young woman lifted her hands towards the flyers, getting them back, and slowly lifted her gaze towards the masculine voice… A soft voice that she has never heard before and yet… It gave her goosebumps. Not that it was an agreeable voice, it was quite the contrary… This calm and collected voice, terrified her from her core.

Fischl: What a well-raised man. Are you new here ? I don’t think that I have met you before.

???: Haha. Indeed, it is my first day here. It’s nice to meet you… Fischl, and.. Mona.

Mona opened her eyes wide. Oddly enough, she didn’t dare to lift her head, as if she was trying to get away from this man that was making her feel so uncomfortable… How could he know her name ? It was impossible and yet, it was the case.

Fischl: I see that I already have fame. It’s normal after a- Hey !!

Before she could finish her sentence, Mona grabbed Fischl’s wrist and stood back up to leave the scene in a hasty walk.

Fischl: What’s with you ?! Let go of me, Mona !

Mona: This guy… We mustn’t get close to him… He’s dangerous.

Fischl: Dangerous..?

Still standing in front of the table, the young man in question observed Mona’s escape before letting out an amused sigh, with a slight smile on his lips.
He extended a hand to the flyers that he previously left on the table, and from his wrist, a thin web came from it to stick on one of the flyers, to get it back in his hands.

???: The Astrology club, huh ? I don’t believe at all in this nonsense but… This girl has an interesting gift. Looks like we’ll have fun this year.~
