A First Taste of School

A dark puddle of ink zips between students, startling and scaring them in the process, but Y/n has no time to slow down!

She's already passed tons of classrooms and not only has she not encountered a single person she knows, she still can't figure out at all how to orient herself. Luckily for her, the Devil Fruit user spots a sign with her classroom number on it. Jumping out of the ink to reform, she pats her clothes down, fixes her bag and leans in to look into the classroom.

'No teacher yet... I made it in time, YES!!!'

Walking in, she takes a glance around. Most of the students are already here, ready for the class to start, talking and joking around, although in a hushed voice.

Looking for a place to sit, the woman notices how in the corner of the room a lone, dark haired student sits, while the others sit tightly together on the other side, as far from him as possible.

'Hmm, almost all of the seats are taken. Oh well, I'll just sit next to the horned guy. All the seats around him are free anyway!'

As she approaches him, Y/n fails to notice how the rest of the class quiets down and tries to silently signal to her not to get near him.

The horned guy is immersed in a book, but his eyes flicker up to see what the woman is doing. Most of his classmates avoided him and wouldn't even dare to look his way, yet she approaches him and stands next to him.

"Hey, I'm Y/n!"

A warm smile decorates her face as she looks right at him, and in this exact moment the two are having very different thoughts.

Recognition glints in the dark haired students eyes. It would be pretty hard not recognize the only girl in an all boys school. The same girl who, at the Entrance Ceremony, boldly declared she would befriend him. When Lilia had told him about the woman's enthusiasm and determination to become his friend, his mood skyrocketed!

But then, he ended up completely missing her visit to Diasomnia. He wanted a clear mind to not make a fool of himself in front of her, but he lost track of time. Then when he finally did return, he learned that Sebek had done his speech about him and paid much respect to his title to the Devil Fruit user. A part of him thought she would be deterred by Sebek's... personality, but it turned out she wasn't. Instead, she went along with his antics and was happy to listen.

Though, Lilia noted she likely wasn't aware that he's the individual Sebek was talking about.

That suspicion is confirmed from the way Y/n is so relaxed around him.

Speaking of Y/n,

'I wonder if his horns are real.'

A dorky smile is plastered on the woman's face as her eyes wander above to his head. This guy's been staring right at her for a good while now without moving, speaking or even blinking.

Should she poke him?

Nah, she needs to get ready for this class. If he wants to stare into the air, let him.

The sound of a chair scraping against the floor snaps the dark haired guy out of his daydream, and he once more looks at her now seated next to him. He gives a courteous nod,

"I am Malleus Draconia."

It's obvious we wants to say more, but the sound of heels clacking against the floor cuts their introduction short.

A man with short, dark curly hair walks in. His entire demeanor reminds Y/n of Pomefiore, as does his outfit remind her of their uniform. The top is a maroon color, with gold intricacies on the color and the bat sleeves wrists. His long coat and pants are in a dark, almost black shade. As he walks to stand in front of the teachers desk, the Devil Fruit user notices the smallest streak of grey in his hair.
