Hopping down from the lamp, Whis flipped open his scroll, ignoring the captivated gazes of both male and female students alike as he continued his stride through the courtyard...
"Now, where to...?" Whis muttered to himself, his voice barely audible over the intrigued whispers of the students. His eyes, hidden behind a custom-made set of wrap-around shades that mimicked the piece of fabric he wore in his past life.
[Whis "Gojo" Schnee: (Narrating) "Beacon Academy. This place is huge. It could give Jujutsu Tech a run for its money... or... lien?"]
Flapping its wings overhead, a lone crow cawed as it circled above the large mass of students as they made their way towards the main hall. That same crow would then perch atop one of the tall pillars that adorned the courtyard, its keen eyes fixated on Whis. For a moment, Whis stopped, turning his head in the direction of his avian observer. Time seemed to come to a standstill as Whis locked eyes with the crow. The crow froze under the intense and analytical gaze of the young man, its feathers ruffling slightly in response before it flew away...
Whis smirked before carrying on his way with the other first-years.
[Whis "Gojo" Schnee: (Narrating) "There are four kingdoms in this world. Atlas, Mistral, Vale, and Vacuo, each one of them with their own Academy, and the most prestigious among them? You guessed it, Beacon. The admittance rate for this place is insanely low, we're talking single digits. Apparently, the rate was a lot higher at one point, that is, until an incident in Vacuo seventeen years ago..."]
Now standing outside the main hall, Whis took a step forward...
~ Snap ~
Before having his attention drawn by the sound of a camera flash...
"Oh? ... Can I help you?" Whis asked
There was an awkward silence as Velvet felt her heart race, trying desperately to come up with a response. The moment seemed to stretch as Whis patiently waited, his unbothered demeanor never wavering. Velvet finally managed to gather her thoughts.
"I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean– well, I-It's my first day here, and I was just taking pictures, and...
Whis listened attentively as Velvet stumbled through her explanation. Though his shades hid his eyes, it did little to hide his amused grin
"Talk about first day jitters..." Whis interjected with a chuckle, adjusting his shades before continuing, "You shouldn't be so nervous. If you're standing here, then you must be really strong." Whis asked, his grin widening as he observed Velvet's reaction. She blushed at the unexpected compliment.
"Uh, well, I... I try my best," Velvet stammered, still feeling a bit flustered. Her heart would nearly leap out of her chest as she looked up to see Whis' face mere inches from her own, however, now with his shades resting on his forehead. It was then that Velvet was able to get a real good look at the young man's eyes as he was seemingly studying her...
"Oh yeah... you're definitely here for a reason." Whis stated as he stepped closer, his eyes narrowing slightly as if he could discern something hidden beneath the surface. The young woman's heart skipped a beat as one of her ears twitched. Whis leaned back, his confident grin returning as he pulled his shades back down over his eyes, much to the chagrin of the surrounding students.
"Anyway, I guess I'll be seeing you around. Good luck in tomorrow's initiation." Whis said with a casual wave, leaving Velvet standing there with a mix of emotions...
"Did you see that...?" murmured a voice from one of the female students as they whispered into the ear of another.
"What would a guy like that want with some animal like her?" Another student replied, disgust evident in their voice. Despite their hushed tones, Velvet's enhanced hearing could still pick up each, and every whisper around her. She was used to it however, being harshly criticized for merely existing was a part of her everyday life...
