Chapter 2 - Sword art

Sky turned orenge and red as sun start hide behind hills and clouds, fresh breeze wind blew past the curtain of the window as Larissa stares outside the window lush green forest beneath the beautiful evening sky.

She took the short nap in afternoon, she usually doesn't sleep in afternoon but it was the only way for her to avoid small talk with the Luna, it wasn't because Luna seems like exchange students or anything but because she doesn't like to talk much to anyone. As Larissa silently look at the sunset, sound deep breath comes from behind her.

"The breeze carries the lush forest smell along with it, don't you think Larissa." Luna said with cheerful voice as she looks outside the window.

"Indeed." Larissa gave short answer that almost feels cold reply, even though she didn't mean it but her social battery is always low making other feel she being rude.

Luna doesn't react much to Larissa one word reply as she saw her didn't getting engaging in the conversation with anyone in school as she seems to be introvert and shy.

Suddenly strong gust of wind blew pass the window as sky turned dark as strom was about to arrive, loud lighting sound resound throughout their hostel.

Larissa takes few steps back in fear as she shocked and scared by sudden thunder strike, She fells on to the Luna standing behind her. Luna caught her before she falls onto the ground.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't prepared this thunder strike." Larissa being embarassed by fall back apologize to Luna with apologict face.

"There's no need for you to say sorry."

"Who would have that such that such sunny day and beautiful breeze would suddenly become wild storm, so don't say sorry for something you can't control nor change it"

"But you can always lean on me, if you ever need help or just hand." Luna said with calm and warm eyes with sweet Nd comfort giving smile on her lips. Wind blew her wavy hairs in air with like dancing norther lights.

Larissa just kept staring at Luna shining eyes and comes back to her sense few moments later.

"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean too." Larissa said with nervousness as she couldn't help but gives glance at Luna face.

"Dear, I told you it's okay. You don't have to ever apologize to me for anything as we are friends from now on." Luna said with such beautiful face that Larissa couldn't bears the thoughts of rebutting her words.

"What's your experience of the first day at school?" Larissa said with smile on her face even though she was wasn't much into casual conversation but since Luna has started talking she couldn't just ignore and do her daily things as both of them are classmates and roommates now.

"It was quite good considering everyone were nice to me and first person I could talk to were you and what about you Larissa." Luna start talking about how everyone talked to her and what they talked about in school and after the school ended.

While this wasn't the same case for Larissa as she always stood out among her classmates and in town but here in the city and at high school she just appears as one of the many beautiful girls.

Not being able to stand out from rest of the people as Luna does and other girls from her class but she doesn't care about that either as her main focus is her main goal and reaching her goal by any means possible.

"I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying the high school life Luna." Larissa with calm voice said through not many people talked to her but only for few moments before doing their own things.

Larissa start thinking about her experience today at high school."I think this acedmy live up to its name of being one of the best on whole nation."

"I think, it's not that much bad here and only interesting person whom I found interesting is Edward in our class, you know he has fire element power." Luna said as she remembers the gloomy and skinny looking boy. No-one talked to him today as he was left out by everyone including them.

Larissa saw him for first time in class and she didn't know about his circumstances either and she wasn't much interested in knowing about anyone from his classroom.

"I was unaware about the fact that he has fire element power, and I was unaware of the fact that his family killed by werewolf when everyone started to talk about him today, that's when I get to know about him for first time." Larissa said as she doesn't want to sound rude for someone loss.

"What happens to his family is terrible but I heard he still has his little sister alive." Larissa said as she remembers the few things she heard today from other about Edward.

"Larissa, I did heard from someone that his sister is alive, but she's still in coma and when Werewolf attack their family everyone is dead including his relatives to and no-one knows who killed that werewolf."

"The fire element power Edward has come from that same werewolf that killed his family that werewolf also had fire ability. When police came to their home, they didn't find a werewolf body, but they did saw massacre left behind by the werewolf." Luna said with mysterious smile on her face as this kind of things always excite the teenagers.

Gaining superpower through special encounter or gaining superpower through tragic incident or becoming the thing you hated the most.

"Then how did people confirm that Edward had that werewolf power?" Larissa lowered her gaze in confusion written

"That what am I going to says next Larissa, When police search around the house they find video recorder on phone when they saw video, there was slightly blurred figure enter the next moment Werewolf dead on ground with its chest carved out there wasn't core in it chest."

"When next morning came Edward Snowden and his sister were in hospital when they run some test on Edward they find out that Edward has been awakened firepower inside him."

"Came and sit beside me Larissa, we can talk more about people and things"

"I don't think will Luna"

"I'm good at my bed, we can talk from our bed." Larissa kindly denied Luna request."

"What kind of power you have, Larissa."

"I don't have any elements power or strong background Luna, but I do have martial arts that passed down generation after generation of my family."

"Martial art that's awesome Larissa, so what kind of weapon or Technics you use."

"Martial arts that my family use is actually sword art."

"What kind of sword you use Larissa it is an long sword, great sword or different kind of sword, well, I'm not very knowledgeable about sword."

"Long sword"

"What kind of power you have, Luna, I already told you about me."

"Only thing that you told me is what kind of sword you use but not sword art name Larissa." Luna jiggled after saying this looking forward to seeing what Larissa will say after most of the people didn't tell anyone about their family martial arts after that is their family secret techniques to give information about their martial arts is same as betraying their family.

"Sword art that family has its name is Obliterate sword art."

"That is an awesome name for sword art, its name is something MC would use in movies or anime."

"Now, that I told you about my sword art name, now it's your turn to tell me about your power, Luna."

" I have unique power Larissa, in the near future you know about it for short periods of time it's secret." Luna said while smiling.

When Larissa looked deep in Luna eyes as if she's having a suspicious of Luna real identity. A seeing that Larissa eye showing suspicious towards her, Luna made little awkward laugh and said to Larissa." If you think that I'm werewolf then your guess is wrong, I know that my surname raise suspicious towards me after all proklyataya one of strongest werewolf family have same surnamed proklyataya in Roswell empire".

"I didn't mean that way, Luna."

"Don't worry about that, I'm already used to this type of thing. It didn't effect me much." Luna said this while smiling, so Larissa didn't feel bad.

There was a brief silence in the room after that their conversation start again, as if remembering something Luna eyes started to glow with excitement." Hey, Larissa, which class you are going to choose logistic or combat class."

Larissa didn't hesitate to think about an answer for second," Combat class, it's an obvious Luna I use sword art."

When Luna heard what Larissa said she gave a loud, silly laugh, " That perfect choice you made there, I'm also going to combat class."

"Larissa, we are going to be together there to."

Luna answer and loud silly laugh made her seems like she's planning something there, looking at Luna made Larissa shiver run down her spine.

" She's definitely going to create trouble there." Larissa said this silently to herself, but Larissa didn't know at that time Luna can hear her loud and clear, but she didn't say anything to Larissa, she just kept smiling.

Luna was using her phone when she looked at the time, then she realized that it's already 11:30 pm " Hey, Larissa seems like we talk so much that we forget about time it's already 11:30 pm, I think we should sleep now for waking up early in the morning."

"I didn't realize that time flew by so quickly."

"Good night Luna"

"Good night Larissa"

Next day in early morning Luna slightly open her eyes and could see blurred figure standing in middle of the room when see opens her eyes completely see could see Larissa doing some wired movement one time it looks elegant and next moment it seems like deadly wild animal going to attack.

Larissa whole body was covered in sweat she is doing this for about ten more minutes after she stopped practicing, she looks at the time on her phone it was 6:30 am in mourning.

"When are you going to leave your bed Luna I know you are waked up for some time, it's already 6:30 am."

"If you feel it would be better not to be late again for a second time in class, then get ready already."

Hearing what Larissa said, Luna gave her embarrassed smile. Then she left to shower, when Luna come out from the shower after taking bath it Larissa turn to take bath.

At 7:45 am both of them enter in their classroom and last when Larissa hears the story of Edward from Luna she looked at him with pity and few minutes later Mr. Jason come into the class.

"Now that everyone is in the class no one is being late, I have important announcement to make as you already no subject like mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology is important of learning something at high school but you have to learn how to fight or defence is important as well it already 15 years since we peace with Roswell empire but we don't know when war can broke out again with those dame bloody werewolf so from now on all of you are going to attend combat class and combat class is divided into two different classes first special abilities combat class and martial arts class."

"Those people who has elements power and special ability power will be joining special ability class and students who doesn't have special ability power will be joining martial arts class."

"Their might be students here who might think that just because they have elements power their superior to students without special ability power then you're wrong about that hard work never late anyone down its perfect example is our hero shiki Yamaguchi and song yun both of them doesn't have special ability but they killed werewolf Duke level werewolf."

When Larissa hear about shiki Yamaguchi and song yun she tights her fist and her heart increase she had strong resolve to become werewolf slayer kill them all her hatred towards keep rising.

Larissa wasn't the only one in their class lots of students have their own untold stories about loss and tregedy everyone in there class know that there is still out there in sun light, night darkness moving in shadows and killing human right now.

"From now on all of you will have combat from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm does anyone has problems with what I just said, if you have any questions regarding combat class raise your hands."

One student in their class raise his one hand, he is really skinny and look very sick the way he looks one might think he didn't eat for few days already, seeing the student Mr. Jason raise his eyebrow to look at this particular student.

"What kind of problem you have, I need a valid reason for that to."

"Sir, I have some medical issues, so I can't join the combat class."

"It would be good if I can join the different class, I can't fight with my weak body, i have my medical reports to show you sir for confirmation that I'm telling the truth."

"If you can't join the combat class, then there is logistic class and various other classes as you can join."

"What is your name, kid."

"Sir, my name is Minato ignotus."

"Thank you sir" after saying what he has to, Minato sit down his bench.

Everyone around him look at him but they can't remember seeing him first day at school, because of his weak body no-one paid much attention to him after that his just nobody for them.

Minato Rays is kind of student if you didn't pay much attention to him then you will forget about his presence. Everyone around him forget about his existence.

Looking at Minato ignotus everyone is slowly forgetting about him in class but the only person who doesn't seem to effect by this is Luna proklyataya she thought in her mind he's interesting character i have to pay tension to him.

This time more and more interesting character are coming around this high school, She returned to her poker face.
