Why do they make us answer these stupid questions about the past school year?...

I set down my black Pilot G2 pen, the absolute best kind in my own, unbiased, opinion, as the longest hand on the clock ticked to 11:37, at night of course. And yes, I own a non-digital clock, it's interesting to use a technology that has almost become obsolete in this day...

I reread the survey intended for the returning students of the GATE Academy and twirled my pen in my right hand while doing so. I read the questions out loud to myself, why not? It's not like my dad was here to tell me to go to sleep.

"Who was your teacher last year and how did he or she help further the development of your supernatural abilities?"

Before I answer the question, let me just clear up the fact that I go to a high school called the GATE Academy. "GATE" is an acronym for "Gifted And Talented Education." You could say I'm special, the world has mixed feelings about Shizuo Akiro. Some hate me for my wealth and abilities, some admire me for them.

Last year, Professor Swift was my teacher. Despite going off on a tangent every what-seemed-like 15 minutes, he placed much emphasis on PE. His method of pre-matching partners in sparring helped us students to engage in combat with others that are truly at our level.

"Who are your closest friends at the Academy and what activities do you partake in with them?"

See? Stupid questions, right?

I have made quite a few friends, seeing as I am next years' junior class president, but I will say that my closest friends are Keita... He doesn't really have a last name, and Riku Samatori. They have helped me literally survive through my first and second years at GATE. Last year was rough, but hey, my friends were there to support me. As for activities... Well, we often spar with each other at the Arena and if we're not sparring, well, we're probably out in the city.

I finished up the remaining questions and slid the packet into a black folder and then into my backpack. After setting my bag down besides my desk, I made my way over to my king-sized bed, changed into a pair of gym shorts, and sat on the edge of the bed. My room was empty because most of my things were already moved into my dorm at GATE. Tomorrow I'd be flying down to the Academy's relatively secluded island in the morning to start my junior year at the GATE Academy. Exciting, yeah? Well, if you've never been a student at GATE, you would have no idea how spontaneous, for the better or worse, the school can get...
