The Lost Exile: Hiriya's Lost Memorial

Chapter 1.8 Alicia

“…eeto…”

Midori-Sensei stood beside the girl who had jet black hair and blue eyes. The girl wore only a school uniform, just like Ice. Everyone in the classroom all scanned the girl from top to bottom, trying to guess her three sizes and such. As Midori-Sensei swept her hair backwards, she began her statement.

“Today we have a new student, her name is…”

“…Alicia.”  Ice said.

“Alicia?” Hiriya and Rita answered.

Ice showed them both a file he had composed. They were having lunch on the roof of the school.  Alicia kept on hugging Hiriya throughout the entire conversation; her skirt was flipped over slightly revealing a bit of a white speck near the top of the skirt. Normally, Hiriya would have peered to look at it however he was more engrossed in Ice’s explanation to the situation and everything he had searched so far.

“Alicia, current Age 16, Exiled.  Transfer to Riyata Academy: Accepted. All other data erased. That’s about it…”

“Erased? By who?”

“That’s the question. I tried to peer further into the files but came to a halt when the level 4 security password was required, at first I thought it was the principal who manages these things but it seems when I entered the password, it came up empty. I think there maybe more things that are hidden under the cover of our Exiler and Exiled trainings, and I think it circles around The White Beast.”

“Again?” Hiriya and Rita answered.

“Yeah… Sudden appearance 5 years ago, assisting in operations and even getting involved into things that are top secret in the school. There’s definitely something very weird here.”

“No matter the case. It’s amazing how you were able to get so much data in such a short time, Ice” Rita said.

“It’s nothing, I do know about every secret nook and cranny of the school. Also, I did some research on her three sizes you requested for, Hiriya. As expected, her bust is slightly bigger than Rita’s and has a smaller waist and hip.”

Rita blushed and threw the empty bento box at Ice. Ice dodged and the box hit Hiriya square in the forehead and then Rita stormed off the roof.

“You just did that to piss her off right?”

“Yeah. I didn’t want her to hear this next part… Hiriya, I managed to find out the hooded girl’s reasons for trying to take Alicia.”

“Really?” Hiriya said.

“Judgemental. They are a group who catch high leveled Exileds for an unknown reason. But a really weird thing is that they release the Exileds a week later, thus no Exileds were deemed missing. However it seems that The White Beast knows this group’s motive. I’ll try to find out what the motive is, but in the meantime…”

Ice paused and looked at Alicia who was still hugging snuggly to Hiriya’s arm.

“… Alicia-chan will be together with Harima-kun. Since they already have done Exilation.”

“EEEEEEHHHHH!!!!” The whole class exclaimed.

The boys stared jealously at Hiriya. Hiriya could feel that they were thinking of various ways to assassinate him. The situation only worsened when Alicia happily came round and hugged Hiriya tightly. A girl slammed her desk very harshly. The entire class turn, the one who slammed the desk was a girl with blonde curled hair and brown eyes; she also wore a pink blazer and pink stockings.

“What’s wrong, Marina-san?” Midori-sensei asked.

Minerva Marina, the class’s president, looked at Hiriya and Alicia, who was still hugging Hiriya.

“This is outrageous! A guy like Harima-kun shouldn’t have an Exiled; he’s only a Level 0! The Exilation was made up, I’m sure of it.”

The rest of the class cheered on, agreeing with Minerva. All except Ice and Rita, Rita still pouting about Ice’s remark earlier and Ice was just relaxed, then Ice decided to enter the conversation.

“Well, if you need proof that the Exliation did happen, his hand should prove to be a good source. Go on, show them.” Ice said.

Forced to show the proof, Hiriya raised his right hand. On the back of his hand was the same blue word that had been there since the Exilation he did with Alicia. As Minerva stood there slowly increasing in fury, Ice didn’t even bat an eyelid at the potential threat he had just created. This was an all too familiar scene in the class; Ice would always cause a lot of problems during the first year, avoiding people, ignoring teachers and such, and Minerva would then come in and complain about Ice’s every action. And the usual deal would be that the two never came to an agreement, that was, until today. Where Minerva had enough and yelled out loudly,

“Ice, I challenge you to a duel.”

“Hah~ ok then. So if I win, you will accept it right?” Ice sighed.

Pleased with herself for finally able to make Ice react to her, she puffed her chest with pride and poised her arm at her hip.

“That’s fine by me, but if I win…”
