"Let's all welcome our new student, Azdaja," Galekh said, reading off a piece of paper in a monotone voice.

He gestured towards the front of the room where a troll in a bright yellow coat stood, smiling. He wore what appeared to be a strange eyepiece and was looking around the room, pausing on each person. His gaze landed on Tegiri and stayed there, causing the troll in question to tense up.

He stared back as Galekh continued to speak. "We are all very happy to have you here, now please take a seat so that I may get on with today's lesson."

Azdaja nodded without even a glance at the teacher and walked over to Tegiri. He sat himself down in the empty seat to his left. Although he could have chosen any side of Tegiri as people weren't exactly clamouring to sit next to him.

"Hey, Tegiri right?" He said excitedly.

"Quiet!" Galekh said from the front of the room and Azdaja frowned.

He may have also rolled his eyes although it was hard to tell as he had no pupils. 

"How did you know my name?" Tegiri whispered, careful not to be heard. 

Azdaja tapped his eyepiece, "It wasn't that hard to figure out. You're all over the internet. Ranting in forums and stuff. A quick scan was all it took to find out something as simple as your name."

"Wait, you can see my internet history? Fuck." Tegiri tried to grab at Azdaja's eyepiece but the gold blood moved back.

Azdaja grinned, "And some of this is pretty interesting, I mean, look at this. Now, hold on that is a good anime." His eyes scanned an invisible screen as he continued to make comments.

Tegiri's eyes widened, "Really?" Suddenly, he felt his face heat up, "Wait, you're just messing with me, aren't you? Like everyone else? If you're going to make fun of me for it, don't bother I've heard it all."

Azdaja shook his head quickly, "No way, anime is awesome, I've never met someone else who liked it before."

"For real?"

"For real! Troll DBZ is my favourite! Why do you think I designed my scanner like this?" Azdaja insisted, tapping the lense.

Tegiri's face lit up, "I thought it looked familiar! That's so cool!" He paused, suddenly hesitant, at last, he spoke again, "My strife specibus is a katana."

Azdaja grinned, "I can use psionics to look like the attacks from DBZ."

"Quiet!" Galekh shouted.

Later that day after school had ended, Azdaja and Tegiri had decided to head over to Tegiri's hive. As they were leaving the school, however, it was quickly apparent that they had attracted some unwanted attention.

"Hey, loser!"

The pair turned their heads and saw three trolls walking up to them.  Tegiri groaned, "Cerulean bloods, they're the worst."

Azdaja touched a hand to his scanner, "I can't get any info on them, what the hell?"

Tegiri shook his head, "Don't bother, the guy with too many piercings is Mallek and the girl with the weird eyes is Remele, they both spent a ton of time building up the security on their computers. As for the girl in denim, she's just mysterious. No one knows her first name, she just goes by Elwurd."

By now, the small gang had reached them. "Sup, nerd," Elwurd sneered.

Tegiri looked down, "Hi Elwurd."

Mallek grinned at Azdaja, showing his fangs, "Hey look, the nerd got a friend today. Aren't you the new kid?"

"You really don't want to be caught hanging around Tegiri," Remele chimed in.
