Dear Mocha

第95章

The dinner was bustling with Azure Academy students. Everyone spoke together and enjoyed their time together before they were set to go watch the opening games of the championships. Kyo swore she felt someone giving their class dirty looks. 

Mocha was sitting by Kyo and Lumei with the other girls of their class, as they awaited dinner to be brought to them. She only let her ears listen to the conversation, while her eyes darted around the grand hall were the lunch, breakfasts and dinners happened. 

Everyone happily chatted, and Mocha felt easy for the first time in a while. Ever since that incident, and she was thinking about just ditching the book somewhere, because finding Opilus seemed to be way too difficult at the moment. 

She used all that time up to pinpoint his exact location, and hand it back to him, she spent it studying the enchanted areas which he could be in, but all of it was in vain. Two of those times caused her and her friends trouble. 

She just hoped that luck would be on her side before the end of the year, so she can return the book to him, so it can be protected by him, because she's clearly incapable of keeping it safely with her. When her body gets used to magic, the spell will work against her eventually. 

 There isn't much time left... I can't do much about it either. She thought, but soon was forced to focus with Kyo who kept snapping her fingers at her to remind her that this was a vacation for them both, and that she shouldn't get worried over stuff. 

The entire night went by quickly, and now it was nine sharp. Professor Yakomji forced all the students awake to prepare, because the qualified batch had woken an hour earlier to start training before the opening games.

All the students had gotten dressed and left their rooms, everyone chatting about how it would go this year, many rumors that even Lunarities would be watching escalated between the crowds, and that sure did bring everyone's attention. 

The students were led to their busses, and to the stadium that the opening ceremony and games were to be held in. Upon arriving, everyone got out. Yukimura pointed at how large and cool it looked. The games started at 12, but early is better according to the teachers. 

Large music can be heard miles away from the stadium, as crowds of people were heading for the entrance with their tickets, some gasped in awe upon seeing the Azure Academy students, some wished them luck. 

Yukimura was hyping all the half-asleep students about the event, as some were slowly waking up and jumping with excitement, while some just stayed quiet. Mocha rubbed her eyes, as she was between the drowsy ones.

The two teachers accompanying class C were their form tutor, Reina Yakomji, and a mathematics teacher named Harry Callisto. They were stopped by a tall muscular-looking tanned man, who was wearing some sports clothing, (a lose white shirt with grey sweatpants and sneakers) who had short black hair and dark brown eyes. 

"Harry! Reina!" The man had called them before they were now stopped to talk with him, trailing behind the man were around 20 teenagers who looked around their age. They mostly gave them dirty looks, which confused Mocha. 

"Ah! These are Azure's first years, right?" The male said, pointing at the batch following the two teachers. Reina glanced at them, before back at Harry, while nodding. "This year's batch isn't to be proud of, anyway, this is Xavier Ramez, he's a form tutor in Sakura High." Yakomji said. 

Fumiji and Yukimura did a 'woah' with their faces, before greeting the students, some of them greeted back, while the others simply ignored them. Mocha turned to Kyo, hoping she'd fill her in about it, but instead, Ruki did. 

"Their school's often at big rivalry with ours, because their the second best out there," Ruki explained, as Mocha nodded slowly. That's why they gave them all dirty looks, right? They despised their guts.

The class-representative, Ryohei, stepped up to shake hands with their class representative. He was a tall, white-haired guy. His hair was messed up, with a black streak between one of the larger bangs. He had dark brown eyes and was wearing their school uniform.

It was a black vest with red and pink lining over by the sleeve's edges, under was a white shirt with a black bow tie, and black trousers. Their vest had the school's badge on it, a large s in colored with Sakura petals all over it. 

They looked dedicated and hard to deal with. They seemed more serious than their school, which left Mocha unsettled, but fascinated at the same time. The white-haired male aggressively shook Royohei's hand, before scoffing and walking back to his group. 

"So, your first yearers are also coming?" Harry laughed, as Xavier grinned, holding out a thumbs up. "Very much so! We are all hyped to see our school win, right?" Xavier said, as he glanced at the students, who all excitedly agreed, then back at Harry.

"We'll see, good luck against our schools," Harry said, before class C went on their way to enter the stadium. Mocha's attention was caught by a pink-haired guy with similar eye-color to her's, he was giving her and the others friendly gestures.

He's probably the sanest one out of his class... She thought, as her focus was back to the ticket booth. After everyone had handed in their tickets, they were allowed down a long corridor, which was heavily crowded. 

At the end of the corridor were large transparent glass doors which were wide open. It led to cobblestone floor, which was divided into two ways, and in the middle was a large grassy pitch. There was a stage, and at the side behind the barrier surrounding the field, was a table with red tablecloth on it, mics, and two seats.

They went to sit in the first row near the right side of the stadium, as some of the guys expressed their excitement to see the opening games. Some of the girls, like Komuki, were praying that nothing bad happens to their school during the tournament.
