I opened my eyes with a painful thumping sensation being felt against the side of my head.

It hurts.

It really hurts.

Blinking a few times so that my eyes could adjust to the lighting I finally seem to get a sense of where I really am. As expected, it's a classroom.

I'm sitting in a desk in rigid position like I was being attentive for a lesson. My body still felt extremely sluggish and I was having trouble to scan the entirety of the room.

Do I have a concussion?

Anyways, there was something fairly odd about this classroom. I realized it from the moment I opened my eyes.

Apart from the one I was sitting on and the teacher's desk, there were no other desks in the classroom. It was extremely barren.

This classroom was placed the normal way like other classrooms so I couldn't understand why there would only be one desk.

The blandness yet again reminded me of my bedroom.

Does that mean that the headmaster and the one who brought me here have the same star sign?

"So you finally woke up, huh? I was worried that you were slowly dying but it seems my previous worrying bore no fruit whatsoever. What a waste." Spoke a voice in an arrogant tone.

I turned my head to see that the culprit was leaning against the door with her arms crossed. She had a curious look in her eyes but my nervousness (and fear that I felt for some reason...) made me look away from her gaze.

She saw this then clicked her tongue.

"Fail." She said then closed her eyes.

"What are you talki-"

"I said 'fail', Thirteen." She interrupted me. "Deal with it."

S-Such animosity....

Now that I think about it, there was a name that caught my attention on the sheet.

Name: Isamu Inzei
Age: 16
Class: 1-A
Leo Synchronization: 100%
Excels in Sports and Academics.
[Warning: Violent tendencies and too impulsive. Good luck!]

That was what caught my attention. I had thought it was joke the Headmaster was making on me.

This is the Headmaster, why would you think that...?

I must have been an idiot for thinking like that.

I dismissed further self-debate on that topic I looked back at Isamu to get a better look at her. The thumping in my head felt like it was receding so my eyes didn't hurt as much looking at her.

Isamu was really pretty. Her black hair was cut short and her eyes looked a pretty blue. On both her arms she had bracelets around her wrists and the shirt she was wearing spawned an array of colours. The shorts she was wearing was a black denim and instead of sandals she wore boots.
