Masquerade

Chapter 11: The First Days of School

Four months was enough for a student to graduate or have a certificate for transferring schools, a forbidden rule that no one, including Yugo, who had spent most of his childhood self-study for the academy he wanted most, wanted to follow. But Sakutaro and I had thought of the risk before the case of our dropout. Despite this, we understood our situation and learned lessons that until when we became adults we were still learning all of these even when we were successful.

Everything was quite smooth, at first. Before my first class, he gave me advice and suggestions that he thought were safe and beneficial and I took them seriously as no accident happened to either of us these days. I was glad that I understood almost all of the knowledge of the school. From the rules, and studies to the teachers and friends, everything was alright and the class sessions were fun and easy to listen to. I also made friends with the other two, whose names were introduced as Quan Shiuhua and Chu Cheol Hwa, who were never in my life I became close to them that fast. Even my siblings had not, either. But then, I found out that I was wrong. I thought and realized that I spent too much time in the dormitory back in the day at the Music Academy, this straightly defeated me and my mindset right on the second day and made me change my view about the environment I was getting used to.

While I was preparing for my lessons and running in a hurry, as usual, I accidentally bumped into someone who was also on his way to his class.

" Watch where you are going!" I shouted angrily.

" So do you! You don't even get out of my way, too!" He shouted.

" Okay, I do it! Excuse me, but I am late so stay away!" I quickly avoided him, to his dismay, to go to the class, which was far away from our location.

To make it worse, when I arrived in time, I was horrified to find out that the one I met earlier, whose name was introduced as Nicolas Moreau, was my classmate, gave me the same awkward look, although Cheol Hwa and Shiuhua had comforted both of us to calm down. On the first day, I was happy to find out that this was my first class, not in the middle of the class, which gave me more understanding of the lessons even better than I expected, particularly today when we had had a chance to discuss the issue in our topics, both separately and solidarity as well as catch up with each of the class to pass the level of the courses.

After school, I was so exhausted that I immediately went to bed, although it was afternoon. Meanwhile, Sakutaro, who had already prepared our dinner before I knew it, gradually woke me up and gave me medicines to help me gain strength. He was surprised to find out that my time at school was fun and I spent my time discovering multiple places, and activities and I enjoyed each of the moments a lot. Seeing his friend smiling, Sakutaro smiled quietly but was full of warmth and happiness. He thought, after years, their efforts had been worthily paid and appreciated.

At the Kurokawa castle...

There was a silence... A silence given by the dark memory that neither of them could forget.

The battle between Yuya and Yuto had already made consequences for both of them. It was clear that Yuzu loved Yuya and she also had feelings for Yuto, she could not deny it. However, despite this, instead of using them as her tools to satisfy her entertainment, she should have admitted her understanding of love to them. Serena witnessed Yuya looking at his human body which was full of bruises and cuts, which looked more than a bedridden zombie, thinking about his revival. The more she looked at him, who was now in the form of a half-spirit, the more she learned from him that someone had already helped him take revenge.

" Do you want to get it back?" Serena looked at him.

" No, you can have it." Yuya looked at her with disappointment. " As a thank and gratitude for saving me."
