Honkai Impact 3rd: Silence

Chapter 1 - Chiba Academy

In a certain apartment in Nagazora, a boy who's age is about 16 years old, is putting off boxes upon boxes on an apartment room. "And that should be all."

"Agh, my back." I place my palm on my own back as I sit on the chair. Taking all that stuff from the ground floor up to the 13th floor is really a pain in the arse. And the lift is even broken.

But this apartment room is actually pretty good. Sure it's pretty small, but it's pretty clean, well it's better than the previous places at least.

The wall has a grayish color, there's a bed, a kitchen, a toilet, a desk, wardrobe, but I guess it's pretty standard for a room.

Well, I guess I need to start unpacking my stuff and putting it where it belongs. I then stand up from my chair. I open my boxes and I take my stuff out.

I guess I can try to remember why he sent me here while I'm clearing this boxes.

In a certain room, it's not too big, nor too small. There's two people talking. One was a boy with a black hair and black eyes, who's age is about 16 years old, and the other is a man who's age is about 40 years old. The man is sitting on a desk, while the boy is standing in front of the man.

"Are you really sure about this? Mr. Charles? I don't have any academic experience whatsoever."

"It will be okay, Roland. I don't know if you know about this, but you have potential."

Really. I don't get what Mr. Charles is talking about. Me entering an academy? I'm not really sure about that.

"Well, if you wanted to enroll, talk to me. I'll give you 10 seconds."

What the hell!? Ten seconds!? Is he crazy?

"9,8,7"

Should I accept this offer?

"6,5,4,3"

This is probably a one is a million chances.

"2,-"

"Sigh, alright. I accept you offer."

"Hahahah, alright then, sign this paper."

In the end, I can't refuse this offer. I read the paper, Enrollment on Chiba Academy. It's an academy in Nagazora. Well, I do know a few Japanese but not so much.

"But, what about th-"

"Don't worry Roland, I'll pay for your expenses. You can just study there."

Ah, he already answered it before I can ask him. But something keeps bugging me about all of this.

"But why? Why do you choose me Mr. Charles? You could've chosen Olivier. He's better than me at this academical stuff."

"Roland, don't think about it. Just focus on your study alright? Just tried to relax from the fixers business."

***

In the end, he didn't tell me the reason why. It was quite sad that I have to leave the other behind. But oh well, just as she said. That is that and this is this.

Oh, I finished it quite fast. Let's see, what time is it.

I take a look at the clock on my phone. It seems to be 22:14 now. As I put down my last clothes, I lay down on my bed and I fall asleep.

"Wow, it's huge." Here I am, as I stand in front of Chiba Academy's gate.

The walk from the apartment where I live and Chiba Academy only take around 5 minutes. Well, I'm glad it's quite close.
