03 → Servant

• Akutagawa Ryuunosuke •

It is yet again another boring day for school, in which I am only looking forward to train with my servant after class. That is the only thing that I am hyped about whenever I wake up, a sliver of light across the room that meets my pair of orbs.

Yet sometimes, I am intrigued on why she was even assigned to be my training dummy. Furthermore, why was I given one anyway? Why give a training dummy if I am not allowed to crush it into pieces?

As weak as I see her, her resistance allows me to deal as much damage as I want. The injuries that she gets everyday is enough proof to see that my abilities does something useful. But still, I can never be sure if that is enough for him to notice me.

Anyway.

I walked to school with Gin, dropping her off to her first class. It is still about thirty minutes before class starts, but there were already more than one student in her class. Unlike mine, it is probably only Ira who is already there. Damn lazy ass classmates who come to class five minutes before the bell rings.

As I was about to reach for the door, I already expected Ira to be here doing whatever. Singing alone or either listening to her music in loudspeaker.

But it was dead quiet.

I immediately slammed the door open, in hopes that she might be here but just asleep in her desk or something. Nothing. For the first time in this class' history, I was actually first to arrive before Ira. I tried to sense if something or if someone was around, but it was really just me.

Something must be off. Ira is never late to arrive before seven in the morning.

"Akutagawa?" Someone called me from behind. I looked behind only to see the weretiger.

"What?" I simply said. I don't like him at all, and it is even more fishy that he's already here this early.

He walked toward Ira's seat, sliding his fingers against the surface of the desk. "Huh. I guess you came first before Ira. Dazai wasn't lying."

"What's that suppose to mean?" I spat out, not liking the way that he seem to said it.

The weretiger proceeded to his seat, putting down his things before responding to me. "Nothing really, he just said that you'll be coming to class first than our usual early bird."

"But so did you." I rolled my eyes. He is one of the people who always seem to come late even though he just lives right next to the campus. Literally.

He sat down, pulling out a paper and pen out of his bag. His expression seems to be really stressed like he just lost the lottery. I went to sit down next to him, since that is where I normally sit anyway.

"I was going to ask help from her about the homework," he said, biting the tip of his pen. "So I went to her dormitory but she wasn't there."

And that struck me. Something must be really off, and it is not good.

"Then I went here to school hoping she'd be here..." The weretiger continued talking. "And yet it was only you who's here so far."

I rolled my eyes, thinking of how abusive some of her 'friends' can be. That ends the conversation between us as he proceeds to do Chuuya's homework at the last minute.

Minutes came to pass and some of my classmates started to arrive, but still no Ira has entered the room. The bell will be ringing any minute and Chuuya would be arriving in his short self and a hat to boost his height a little.
