Honkai Impact 3rd: Silence

Chapter 8 - Forward

I was still taking notes of what the teacher is writing on the front. Although I still somehow manage to score decently on my grades, it still took me quite a while to be able to do so.

If you compare me to the other students who've receives advance class, I've only receives the basic stuff.

So here I am, piercing together bits upon bits of information... but it seems that today, my concentration is being challenged.

"Hey Roland-senpai, why are you so pale?" Kiana who sits next to me keep breaking my focus,

"Shuush, be quiet Kiana. We're in the middle of a lesson."

Kiana completely ignores what I said. Instead, she just keeps poking my arm. "Awh, come on Roland-senpai!" The white hair girl shout, the teacher along with the other student's attention are now at us.

"Why're you calling me with senpai anyway? We're in the same class."

Kiana confidently said, "well, you see. Since you entered this school before me, then you're my senpai!"

I'm pretty sure that's not how it works.

"But why're your skin so pale? Are you sick, Roland-senpai?" Kiana asks with an innocent tone.

"It's genetic alright, now please just be quiet"

Kiana just nods at my response. I thought that would be the end of her question, but instead, she asks another one.

"So Roland-senpai, where do you get that sandwich? I mean, it's very delicious!" She asks again.

"I'll tell you later, so be quiet. Alright?" I really need to concentrate. The teacher has already erased the previous stuff, heck it's already filled with different materials than before.

"Come on, just tell me. It wouldn't be that long."

This sandwich stealer! How disrespectful, to ask that to the man whom you have steal their sandwich from.

"Roland-kun, Kiana-chan, Be quiet! Save your conversation for later, class is still ongoing!" The teacher shout at us. Some students laugh at us.

"Yes, sensei." Both of us respond at the same time. Finally, I can concentrate.

The class is now returned to how it is before. All the students, except Kiana continues taking notes.

And so, class after class passed by. The bell rings, indicating the end of school time. Students one by one take their bag and excitedly leaves the class.

"I have club activities today, so I'm going first." Mei stands up and she takes her bag.

"Then, let me accompany you, Mei-senpai!" Kiana excitedly rushes to Mei's side and grab her arms. Mei is flustered by what Kiana is doing.

"K-Kiana chan, what are you doing!?" Mei who is embarrassed tries to free her hands from Kiana. Instead, Kiana hugs her in return.

Roland who's watching this stands up and took his bag. "Then, I'm going first. Kiana, make sure to protect Mei-chan alright." He says with a mischievous smile. He waves to his back as he walks out.

"Roger that!" Kiana answer with a smile, as she salutes at Roland.

Then, the door is slammed shut. Roland walks to the cooking club's room to start his club activities.

Roland is currently, standing on the elevator with a bag of groceries on his right hand and his bag hanging on his left.
