SA 69 - Koizumi Luna

The next day, Class B finally felt complete with the official return of Natsume and Misaki. As they walked into the classroom, Misaki found herself seated between Natsume and Ruka, as per Natsume's request, while Mikan sat on Natsume's left.

" I'm Koizumi Luna, pleased to meet you," the new girl with strawberry blonde hair introduced herself. Her arrival left the students in Class B captivated, admiring her beauty and aura of mystery.

Narumi smiled warmly at the class. " Please welcome her, everyone," he announced.

Intrigue and curiosity filled the room, and questions buzzed through the class.

" What's her Alice?"

" How old is she?"

" Where did she come from?"

The students whispered among themselves, their eyes trained on the uneasy Luna.

" Let us see your Alice!" one classmate demanded. Luna began to cough uncontrollably, leaving them bewildered. Her frail appearance led them to believe that she was in poor health.

Narumi sighed, seemingly exasperated. " You see, Luna is very weak, and using her Alice can deteriorate her health. The school has banned her from using it to protect her well-being," he explained.

" But she should at least tell us her Alice," another classmate protested.

" Her Alice is to remain a secret until you all become close to her," Narumi added.

Misaki eyed Luna from her seat, her disdain for the new student evident. Misaki wasn't interested in getting to know her and began to doodle on her notebook, seemingly disinterested.

Permy shared Misaki's sentiment, having reservations about new students, as Mikan and Misaki were once new arrivals themselves.

" Sorry," Luna murmured, looking down shyly. Narumi instructed her to take the only available seat next to an unenthusiastic classmate.

Upon reaching her seat, Luna coughed violently, catching Narumi's attention. " Ah, isn't that seat comfortable enough for you? Then where are you going to sit?" he inquired, watching Luna move away from the empty seat.

Luna found herself beside Natsume's desk, and she hesitantly stood there, casting a confused glance at Mikan. Mikan didn't like the implication of Luna sitting there, as it meant she would need to relocate.

" Please," Luna squeaked weakly. Natsume turned his gaze in her direction, his cold eyes fixed on her. He didn't appreciate her presence near them.

" What?" he coldly inquired.

Permy, too, wasn't pleased with Luna's actions, especially her desire to sit beside Natsume. She adamantly refused.

" What the...!" Permy hissed, glaring at Luna. Anna and Nonoko were equally surprised. " Who the heck does she think she is?!" Permy fumed in irritation.

Koko offered an explanation, " She wanted to sit next to Natsume, but it's too crowded, especially with Misaki and Mikan there."

Luna began to cough forcefully, which alarmed Mikan. " Oh!" Mikan gasped.

" Hmm, hearing that... it sounds like it's solely our fault this desk has been crowded lately. Isn't this our official arrangement, Narumi sensei?" Misaki raised a brow questioning Luna's intention before casting a gaze on Koko who was shrugging his shoulder when he used his alice to determine what the new girl wanted.

" Eh? It is indeed the official arrangement..." Narumi let out an awkward chuckle trying to lighten up the room's mood. Yet, Luna didn't move away from her place and still let out a throaty cough like her lungs would come out.
