Realistic or Modern Yuugen Academy ~ Main RP

[NightPhoenix]

Yuugen Academy

幽玄学園

Located in southern Tokyo, Japan, Yuugen Academy is an elite school, open to anyone—provided they have the sufficient funds, that is. The school boasts the finest facilities and teachers, hence the exorbitant school fees. Students comprise mostly of heirs and heiresses, children of celebrities, and celebrities themselves. As much as the students bask in luxury everyday, however, the atmosphere is extremely competitive, as students compete not only for grades, but also to maintain their families' reputations, form connections and of course, to find potential weaknesses in rivals/rival corporations.

Currently:
Friday, 1st week
(School started on Monday, and the one-week long orientation was two weeks ago)
April, Term 1
Mid-spring
Generally sunny, clear and cool

Upcoming Event: Yuugen Cherry Blossom Festival

Where: Garden
When: Friday, 2nd week—after-school club activities are generally cancelled for the day, and the festival continues until midnight

Adhering to the Japanese tradition of appreciating the blossoming cherry blossoms in the spring, Yuugen holds its own festival on the second week of school, open only to students and staff. Plenty of food and drink stalls (both casual and sophisticated) line the paths of the school garden. Attendees can take the rowboats provided for the day out on the modest-sized river running through the garden, with the option of rowing the boat themselves or having a hired expert row do it for them. At night, the lanterns hung on the trees are lit up, illuminating the whole garden.

Customarily, students may invite the person they like to the festival. There's also a legend that if you go to the night illumination with the person you like, the two of you will definitely end up together. Several seniors have confirmed it, but the validity of this is, of course, unknown.

The student council works closely with staff members to organize this, and some clubs or even individual students may decide to open their own stall, to train entrepreneurship and business skills.​

Spoiler: RP Rules and Guidelines

• Rules
• Guidelines

• 1. All RPN rules apply, naturally.
  2. A minimum of two paragraphs per post and one post per week is required. If this would not be possible for any reason, please just let me know.
  3. This goes without saying, but please be polite and respectful to everyone.
• 1. For simplicity's sake, we will not be using Japanese honorifics in this RP. Teachers/Staff will be addressed as "Mr./Mrs./Miss [last-name]". Students address each other by last name if they're not familiar/close with each other, and first name if they are.
  2. Characters' ages range from 15 to 18. Those born between April 1st and March 31st of the following year are placed into the same grade. First-year students consist of 15/16-year-olds, second-years consist of 16/17-year-olds and third-years consist of 17/18-year-olds.
  3. The school's dress code may seem fairly conservative to some people (although lenient in some ways by Japanese standards, I believe), since the RP is set in Japan. Characters can, of course, break school rules~
  4. I will be rolling out school events once in a while.
  5. According to what I read, many (not all) wealthy Japanese aren't very flashy or ostentatious; they may purchase expensive goods, but said goods aren't always so obviously expensive. Do go look it up for yourself if you have the time (and feel free to correct me if I made any mistakes).
  6. Please do feel free to ask me any questions, or even correct me if anything!

Spoiler: School Rules

• System & Schedule
• Rules of Note
• Dress Code

• 1. Classes are split into A to E (i.e. 1-A, 1-B, 2-A, 2-B and so on) based on grades.
  2. Yuugen uses the trimester system, similar to most schools in Japan. The first term runs from April 1 to late July; the second term from early September to late December and the third term from early January to late March. Students get a two-week-long break for New Year's at the end of the year, and a brief week-long spring break—during which they are free to go home.
  3. Students must be in the main building by 8.15 a.m. The broadcasting committee has a morning section that starts around 8.10 a.m and continues until 8.30 a.m, which is when homeroom begins. Homeroom lasts for 15 minutes, and classes start at 8.45 a.m. Core classes run from 8.45 a.m to 1.00 p.m. There's a 50-minute lunch break then, after which classes resume, with students heading to their respective electives. Classes finish at 3.00 p.m, and club activities are held after that, with each club setting their own specific meeting days and times.
  4. If absent, students must report to their homeroom teacher stating the reason for their absence. Students who are absent from class for more than three days without a given/valid reason will be called to the disciplinary teacher's office. Students who are working (e.g. actors, singers, models) should discuss with the school counselors and respective subject teachers to make adjustments for conflicting work schedules and schedule make-up classes/tests.
• 1. No public displays of affection (PDA) allowed, particularly in the main building.
  2. Pets are allowed everywhere except the main building. The school, however, provides minimal services for pets—there is only one vet on standby, and one or two pet stores on the Avenue.
  3. A maximum of one bodyguard is permitted per student—the school also has its own safety/security measures, which should be sufficient; bodyguards are merely for the student and parents' peace of mind. Bodyguards must also dress and act accordingly so as to not distract students from their studies.
  4. All students are required to stay in the residence halls, unless granted special permission. Students who are working (e.g. actors, singers, models) must give notice to the residence hall director if they have to stay away from campus for a period of time or cannot stay in the residence halls at all.
• 1. In the main building, the uniform must be worn at all times during school hours, and neatly. Skirts must pass fingertip-length. Students can wear sportswear of their own choosing during PE. However, anything revealing (including tank tops and singlets) or indecent are not allowed, and shorts must pass fingertip-length. Outside of school hours, students can wear their own casual clothing in the main building, provided they follow the rule of not wearing anything too revealing or indecent.
  2. Makeup and accessories are allowed, provided they are minimalistic and non-ostentatious. Boys are not allowed to wear piercings.
  3. Hair that passes the shoulders must be tied up. Boys' hair must not touch the shoulders at all.
  4. Only black and white socks are allowed.
  5. No regular attire checks are conducted. All dress code violations will be decided upon and handled at disciplinary teachers' discretion.

He couldn't identify who she was as the sun was shining right at his eyes making it hard for him to see. Determined to find out who she was, Eiichiro lifted his hands to his eyes in hopes of blocking out the sun. Slowly opening his eyes, he saw a beautiful girl standing in front of him. He didn't recognize her but it was a girl from his school. She wore his school's uniform consisting of the familiar black jacket, plaid skirt and black shoes. Eiichiro looked down at his hands and read the opened pink letter once again. It was a love letter that asked him to meet the sender after school at the school's garden.

"E-Eiichiro...".

Eiichiro looked up and saw the obviously embarrassed girl trying her best to look at him. This was it. Eiichiro has always wanted to be confessed to by a girl and it was finally going to happen. Eiichiro's face shot up in excitement and anticipation. He wanted to hear the next words the girl would say.

"I....I-I've always...wanted to tell you...that I..."

Yes...yes...continue..., Eiichiro thought to himself in his head. He couldn't wait any longer he wanted to hear those 3 words that would make his life complete.

"I...I've always lo----"

BRINGGGG BRINGGGG BRINGGG

Eiichiro's head shot up. The sound of his alarm clock woke him up from his dream. Eiichiro looked around and saw that he was in his dorm room. His vision was blurry but he managed to smack the top of his alarm clock, muting the loud beeping. Realizing that everything that happened was a dream, Eiichiro put his face down on his pillow and quietly tried his best to stop himself from crying while softly punching his bed. After a few minutes of stifled crying, Eiichiro forced himself to get out of bed. He managed to do so and sat on the side of his bed while rubbing his eyes before putting on his glasses which were beside the alarm clock.

Now that Eiichiro's vision was fully restored, he noticed just how late he had woken up. He stood up in panic and barged into his roommate's - Felix van de Corput -room.
"FELIX!! WAKE UP, WERE GOING TO BE LATE TO SCHOOL...",
yelled Eiichiro as his words slowly faded quieter and quieter. Eiichiro would usually be woken up by Felix since he had a hard time waking up on his own. So seeing that he woke up by himself, he thought that Felix must have slept in. Unfortunately, Felix was no where to be seen. His room was tidy and his bed was already made.
"Aghh, was I in such a deep sleep that even Felix couldn't wake me up??!",
Eiichiro whined to himself while scratching his head. He ran back to his room and got ready as fast as he could. He put on his uniform, brushed his teeth and quickly grabbed an apple and banana from the kitchen before putting on his shoes and running out the door.

Thankfully, the dorms weren't far away from the school. Eiichiro ran as fast as he could and after a few minutes, he could see the state of the art building that was going to be his school for the rest of his high school years, Yuugen Academy. The school was stunning as usual and Eiichiro has always thought that the school would be a great setting for a movie. Eiichiro continued to run towards the school and changed into his white indoor shoes. He speed walked through many hallways and finally made it to the broadcasting committee's room. He was only a few minutes later that usual but it was fine as he had enough time to set up for Yuugen Academy's daily morning news. After taking the time to fix his tie and finish his small breakfast, he was finally ready.

3...2...1...

The school bell rang which signaled the start of the school day. With a bright smile and cheerful attitude, Eiichiro was live on all the school's television screens and began to read the morning announcements.

Mitsui Chiyoko ~ 3-A

Location: Residence Halls - Her room (D-427)
Interacting with: Kikoyumi ( Letai ); Felix ( Soma Schicksal )
Mentioned: -​

Chiyo had awoken with the sun, and was following her daily routine of sitting on the balcony, mug of caramel macchiato in hand. She had learnt how to make the drink after begging one of the staff working in the dining hall to show her. Draining the last drop, she glanced at the clock in the living room through the glass sliding doors. It was about time to start getting ready.

After washing her mug in the sink, she glided over to Kiko's bedroom door. Knocking gently, she called, "Kiko! Are you up yet?" The Japanese-Korean girl was 2 years younger than her, so despite them having met just a couple of weeks ago at orientation, Chiyo already felt a sort of big-sister affection towards her. So far Kiko still seemed slightly reserved, but that was to expected, given that it was her first year at Yuugen and whatnot. The girl seemed sweet enough, and Chiyo was determined to make sure she felt comfortable soon. She wasn't entirely sure about Kiko's comprehensive background—she just knew that her mom was a model—but Chiyo vowed to protect her if any of those snooty bullies decided to pick on Kiko for any reason.

Oh...She just suddenly remembered that the first class of the day—her mind had a tendency to flit from this to that—would be history. She internally sighed. She wasn't very interested in her studies, and the standards people expected of her usually made her feel even more stressed out, but history was, by far, her least favourite subject. That was the precise reason why she had put off doing the history assignment for last, last night...and completely forgot about it after she had finished the rest of the homework.

Taking a step away from Kiko's room, she picked up her phone and called her best friend, her dearest friend...who had hopefully completed the homework. As she waited for Felix to pick up, she prayed that he was at least awake.

Amano Mizuki ~ 2-A ~ Scholarship student

Location: Residence Halls - Her room (C-410)
Interacting with: -
Mentioned: Li Hua ( Makomin ); Celia ( LXLynx )​

Mizuki woke to the soothingly familiar scent of the rose candles she lit every night before going to bed. Inhaling the light, sweet fragrance—she despised candles which gave off overpowering scents—she closed her eyes for a brief moment, before getting out of bed.

A quick shower was enough for her to collect her thoughts and prepare herself for the day ahead, especially the first few moments after she stepped out her bedroom door. Knowing Li Hua, the queen bee hadn't yet left for classes, taking her time with getting ready as usual. If Mizuki was fortunate, Li Hua would still be in her room and she'd be able to get out without having to deal with her. For the thousandth time, she wondered why the fates—or whichever staff member was in charge—had to be so cruel to make them room together. Under Yuugen's system, roommates stayed together until graduation, meaning she was stuck.

At least that new girl, Celia, didn't seem like she would be difficult. The previous girl who just graduated had been a timid no-name, quickly put into her place last year when Li Hua arrived, while Mizuki observed from the side. Celia had seemed to size them up as soon as she moved in, something Mizuki could respect: understanding who you were dealing with. The only thing that irked her was that Celia was a scholarship student, something that didn't matter too much for now but could somehow end up troublesome later, knowing Li Hua.

After double checking to make sure she had all her things with her (she liked to keep all her belongings solely in her room so that she could fully get ready in the comfort of her room, plus you never know what Li Hua would do with something she found laying around), she quietly opened her bedroom door and stepped outside into the living room. Hopefully she would get off with an easy, relaxing, Li Hua-free morning.

wang li hua.

feeling: happy ❀ tagged: NightPhoenix LXLynx

the beginning of the new school term was a dread to many. the week or two following would be hell for most as students adapted back to their usual schedule of not lazing around the whole day and having to sleep at an earlier time for the next day. though, considering there were many celebrity students in this academy, li hua doubted this problem would be prominent. being one of them, wang li hua, didn't really mind at all. after all, she still had her drama series to wrap up in a month.

"what a pain." she said to herself as she reached her hand forward, onto her dressing table and grabbing a tube of lip tint. twisting the tube open, she tapped the dofa applicator a few times across her lower lips before pressing them together. she then placed the lipstick back into its own glass compartment before the female reached for her phone.

a routine, wang li hua checked her social media, specifically, twitter. of course, her feed was mostly empty said for a few celebrity friends who took their time to update their fans. li hua wasn't the type to follow many individuals- only those she took interest in, her actual friends and those she saw fit to stay friends with. her tagged tweets, however, were a different story as her fans clearly showed their excitement for her new drama series to be released- having been teased by character posters and small snippets of trailers.

this made her smiled to herself before she took ahold of her tote bag. she was about to slip her phone right in when she saw the time.

she still had ten minutes to spare and because li hua was li hua, the thought of being slightly late was preferred rather than being too early.

exiting her room, she dropped her bag onto the large, yellow sofa that occupied the living room before taking a seat. she figured she could wait for at least one of her roommates, namely mizuki. if celia walked out first, she didn't mind. though, she was more wary of her considering she was still 'new'. at least she wasn't a little rat like their previous roommate. or at least, she had to observe until later on.

she busied herself by pressing her cushion puff for her bb cushion lightly on her face.

she was indeed looking forward to being in her second year. she wondered whether there would be any notable first year students.

as she dwelled longer in her thoughts, the door to mizuki's room open and lo and behold, mizuki came out.

"you're finally out." wang li hua said just as her closed her bb cushion close before slipping it into her bag.

"i heard the first year students would be...interesting. what do you think?" she commented, figuring it would be in her best interest to get to know celia a bit. as such, waiting for her.

oshiro yuki.

feeling: happy ❀ tagged: open!

a grunt was heard followed by the 'clink' of what sounded to be like a metal object being dropped onto the floor. sounds of items being shuffled across the floor was heard and a glug was heard, indicating someone was drinking their water as loud as a dog. though, it didn't matter because the setting itself was empty except for said individual.

oshiro yuki sighed in satisfaction at the aftermath of having cold water going down his throat. he looked back down at his watch and just like his expected routine, he had half an hour to shower, get ready and walk to the main building.

maybe it was because he lived as a police officer's son for a decade now or maybe it was because he hated breaking out of his routine that this was his life everyday. some might call it boring but he found it reassuring.

yuki took another glug of water before heading towards the showers.

-----

with a plastic pack of bread in one hand and a small paper bag in another, yuki head the former up to his mouth, taking a bite and chewing as the front doors of the main building came into sight. taking another bite, he crushed up the plastic pack before dropping into a recycle bin nearby.

students begin to file in, some taking off their shoes and slipping into their indoor slippers while fresh faces looked around, some in awe, some in boredom and others in annoyance. there were also some who were catching up and some who were still half asleep.

yuki slipped into his indoor slippers before sliding his own shoes into his locker. just before he closed it, however, he shoved the small paper bag he had brought right above his shoes.

there were still a number of individuals who wondered what was in the paper bag. oshiro yuki has been doing that from the time he was a first year until now. not a lot asked, afraid they'd regret asking. though, to yuki, it was simply his clothes from exercising.

like his routine, he carried his soiled clothes in a paper bag to school, leave it in his locker before taking it back to his dorms and washing it. it was easy, after all, he would never forget his shoes.

Fukuda Kazumi
Location - Residence hall, his dorm
Interactions - Nishizaka Kuro ( Coyote Hart )

The aroma of the green tea filled Kazumi's senses as he sat in his chair, taking periodic sips while keeping track of the time. He had grown to enjoy waking up far earlier than he should, especially since it forced his bodyguard Claudius to wake up earlier to brew him some morning tea. This was definitely the way to live; cat in lap and a carefully prepared morning tray at his side. Everything was in order and those he needed to fall into place were starting to fall under his desired schedule; as it should be of course. Another long sip of his drink before he checked the time once more, seeing that it was time for his little sheep to wake up. Setting his cup down, Kazumi lingered for just a few seconds to give the small cat one last head rub before he had to prompt her to get off of him so he could make sure Nishizaka was on track.

The first-year student had joined the Student Council, and as the Vice-President, it was his job to make sure Nishizaka represented the Council properly. Kazumi had quickly learned that the little lamb liked to sleep in as long as they could without having to rush in the morning, which wasn't that bad of a plan . . . But Kazumi decided it wasn't good enough and decide to suggest that he woke up sooner. Kazumi waved Claudius off to go tend to Asuka and walked up to lightly knock on the wall of Nishizaka's room just a few minutes before what the boy would normally wake up at.

"I'll be leaving in about ten minutes. Is there anything you need?" He asked sweetly, looking over at his watch to monitor the time Nishizaka had. Leaving the room together was his polite way of kicking Nishizaka out of his dorm. The idea of the student being left to his devices who knows what left an unsavory taste in his mouth and walking out together was becoming a routine. It was a change to his schedule last year but at least he could foster some kinship with Nishizaka and make himself look good by being welcoming to the new member.

The knock was the first a curtsy and if Nishizaka wasn't up by then he would have to do the smile and command tactic to get him moving. Kazumi lingered outside of the room, using a lint roller Claudius had handed him (at least someone was on schedule) to brush off any cat hair Asuka may have left on him. His eyes locked on his wrist, watching the seconds tick for Nishizaka to get on the schedule.​

Celia D'or
Mentioned: Makomin , NightPhoenix ​

Celia’s alarm went off and yawning she stretched and rolled herself over, almost falling out of bed. Slowly she lifted herself up and walked to her closet, getting her exercise clothes. She had always been an early riser, but lately she had the habit to wake at 5 am and to sleep as little as 5 hours a day. Being quiet to not accidentally wake Wang or Amano she left her room and locked it. She had met the two girls, and she would have to watch them for a while to see what they are really like. They were nice enough when they had a little small talk, but trusting someone in an environment as this would be dangerous. Celia would have to watch her back for a while to make sure she would not be picked out to be bullied.

Leaving her dorm behind she walked towards the fitness room, ready to get her morning run. She liked to push herself to the limits before breakfast. Tying her long brown hair into a bun she got on the treadmill.
An hour later, she came off, sweating like an otter and longing for a nice shower. She was curious, how would this year turn out. Thinking about all the disastrous scenarios she showered while trying to clear her thoughts. No, this would be a great year, the academics here were amazing and that was all she was here for. She would not let other students get in her way. She got dressed in her school attire and walked back to her room, luckily it was still early and her roommates were probably still soundly asleep. Her room was a tidy place, clean desk and made bed. No clothes anywhere. If you didn’t know better you’d believe nobody lived there. Grabbing her schoolbag she thought about all the cool classes, but at the same time she felt anxious, what if the other students didn’t like her or were to make her life miserable?

Leaving the dorm for the second time she headed towards the library, longing to sit down with her book for the foreign literature class. She would waste no time while being at Yuugen she had decided.

Cassie had gotten up. She had been spending so much time trying to plan the whole Cherry Blossom Festival. She hadn't really thought of who to invite or even if she should. Being the student council president was so interesting even when people underneath her were trying to plan to get her out of the position.

She had to eat breakfast and get ready for the day. Breakfast was the most important meal of the day. Therefore it meant she should eat lots of sugar first thing in the morning because nobody could stop her. Two pancakes with syrup and a slice of bacon. She began to eat her delicious meal.

What would happen at Yuugen Academy today? She wondered what sorts of interesting things would happen. Since moving to japan her life had become more involved and there was always something going down at Yuugen.

Perhaps she'd find someone to chat with in one of her classes. It was time to head out for the school halls.

Kiko awoke quite early, the light was only just shy of coming in through the window into the room.
Looking at the time, she lay there for a while just thinking

Chiyoko, a third year, was her roommate. She was pretty and polished with better grades than Kiko, though most people could as it wasn’t that hard.
She was very bright and friendly and caring and Kiko occasionally felt blinded by her vivid, shining characteristics and sunshine-like personality

Yuugen was the school her mother chose while her father was quite resistant of the school for some unknown reason. The first days at Yuugen had been uneventful mostly because kiko didn't really look around and stayed mostly sheltered and shut off from most others, while still getting used to everything.

Returning to Japan and to the culture and language was slightly jarring for her. Especially after nearly a decade of barely any exposure to it.

"Kiko! Are you up yet?", Chiyoko called from outside her door. Kiko groaned softly before pulling herself out of bed, and trotting out of her room, still in her cute silk satin nightwear set, to get ready.

SlIghtly bleary eyed, she reheated some leftover dumplings and wonton soup and sat down to eat to devour it with some jasmine tea. She was still trying to get herself used to more japanese food, but liked to treat herself sometimes with more familiar food.

After finishing up breakfast and cleaning and putting everything away, Kiko headed to her bedroom to get ready to leave for school.

Sleep was like heaven. A place where societal expectations had no regards on your life, where you could finally take off your armor and feel free, unbounded, and unrestricted. So Kuro savored those sweet eight hours between his shower and the sound of his alarm clock ringing. And those beginning days of school were most incredibly sweet since Kuro's sleep schedule would often devolve down from eight hours, to seven and a half, and then to a precarious seven hours of sleep a day.

That day, Kuro had a dream about a discussion between him and his parents. They were arguing about whether the prevalence of tomato paste on pizza was a good thing or not. Being both lawyers, Kuro's parents were giving him a hard time, striking down every one of his arguments with ease, but also leaving him a little room in order to try to pick himself up. It was truly a fight that Kuro had no chance of winning. Then, in one careless move, Kuro's mother accidentally pushed her mug across the table, where it pushed the jackpot lottery ticket over the table to touch the ground and crumble to dust.

Just as Kuro leaped in his dream towards the dust particles that were once the lottery ticket, his roommate, Fukuda, knocked on the door and announced that he was going to leave in ten minutes.

That sent Kuro into a panic. His eyes shot open and immediately landed on his alarm clock on the nightstand next to him. Did he oversleep? No, that wasn't the case. Fukuda was just going out earlier than usual. This was out of the ordinary though. The past few days, Fukuda had guided Kuro around the school, making him feel at home at the new campus. In all honesty, Kuro doubted that he was ready to set off on the campus without Fukuda unless he wanted to make a fool of himself. So he decided that he would try to join Fukuda today once more, and if he had to sacrifice some sleep, that would be okay too.

"If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to join you," Kuro replied to Fukuda, rolling off of his bed as he talked, "I'll try to be quick."

And Kuro was indeed quick. In less than half a minute, Kuro had his school uniform on, had a cup of black tea steeping in the tea maker, and put a breakfast burrito in the microwave to heat. When that was all done, Kuro was heading to the bathroom, using the lavishly beautiful sink to wash his face and brush his teeth.

As he did so, he quietly reflected on the chaotic, undescribable dream he had. Most of it had fallen out of his memory by then, but the lottery ticket fluttering to the ground and dissolving stayed with Kuro like a ghost hell-bent on haunting someone. There was so much hinged on that one little sheet of paper. Without it, Kuro knew that he wouldn't be here, although he didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

With the combination of the face wash and the morning panic, Kuro emerged from the bathroom completely refreshed and awake. After shoving the warmed breakfast burrito into his sling backpack, Kuro added some cream and honey from his mini-fridge to a cup of tea, and then he was off, opening the door to join Fukuda.

In the span of fewer than ten minutes, Kuro had gone from a sleepy dreamer to a schoolboy, uniform impeccably put on, a sling backpack over the shoulder, and a lidded cup of steaming hot tea.

"What's with the change of schedule?" Kuro asked, "Is there something that you need to get done?"

Kuro noticed that Fukuda's bodyguard was nowhere to be seen. Likely he was off tending to the bothersome cat that Fukuda carried around. Based on the tray of food that was left unattended, Fukuda had been awake for quite a while. Honestly, Kuro hoped that their two schedules didn't conflict in the future.

"If that's the case, come on, let's go, I don't want you to be late because of me," Kuro began to walk out of the door to the dorm hallways despite the fact that he had no idea where he was going to go. He didn't look back to see if Fukuda was going to follow him.

Felix van de Corput




Cherry Blossoms fluttered down in the scene of a girl behind a shōji. Her silhouette not giving much description of who the female was but gave Felix the nice feeling of what his hearts desires were. Just as he reached to reveal the girl…to see who his dream girl might have been his alarm he had set the day before blared throughout his room. It had been around 7:30 at the time of his awakening, he turned off the alarm and gave a nice long stretch into the atmosphere around him, the plans for this morning is what he thought of. First Felix needed to do his morning routine which consisted of the usual making of the bed, brushing teeth, and quickly cooking breakfast. The Dutch boy got up and opened the curtain to his window taking in the fresh air that awaited him outside, today was gonna be a good day he thought to himself. He quickly got his morning essentials done and began his work on breakfast deciding to give with something more of his favorite instead of the traditional Japanese style, he just couldn’t get himself used to it and with him having magical cooking fingers he could make whatever food he wanted really. Grabbing a pan and listening to the sizzle as eggs popped over the warm fire Felix was almost done, he made breakfast for himself and for his roommate and new friend Chiro, as the time passed by he realized he only had a few minutes left before having to leave and made his way over to wake up his younger schoolmate.

As Felix shook the boy he didn’t wake up…he took a moment to think and didn’t want to be late himself so with that he just hoped that Chiro would wake in time for class. He made his way back to the kitchen quickly eating his breakfast before packing up the rest in a Tupperware for his roommate where he slid it in Eiichiro’s bag just in case he wouldn’t have enough time to eat at the room. The breakfast consisted of Stuffed French Toast with strawberry syrup topping a side of bacon and another side of scrambled eggs. he wasn’t sure if the boy preferred his eggs any other type of way but scramble was usually the safest bet as to where Felix liked his eggs Over Medium. He made his way out and headed for Homeroom when on his way there he got a call from Chiyo, she must have been waiting for him in class already. The handsome music producer answers his friend's phone call responding with a rather happy “Hello!” Enough to sense the smile on his face followed by the faintness of his Dutch accent. This was enough to make anyone happy in the morning and usually did so for Chiyo. “What’s up! I think I might barely make it to class, were you waiting for me already?” That was when on his way there he noticed a rather beautiful brunette French girl making her way to what seemed to be the library, she just caught his eye but Felix was a romantic and single disaster almost wishing he wasn’t alone and just longing for a girl to be by his side. He let out a sigh as she passed but forgot Chiyo was on the phone until he realized and chuckled. “I’m almost to homeroom.”

Celia
Mentioned: Soma Schicksal ​

Celia walked towards the library when she got side tracked. The weather was nice and the blossoming trees were mesmerizing. Walking through the yard she took her time to look around at the beauty that nature held. Lost in thoughts, she wandered around for a while. She felt at ease and fantasized about how she liked to once have her wedding under the cherry blossom. Not that she had ever been in a relationship, but she had always known she wanted to get married when she was older.

Suddenly she woke from her daydream and realized she was on her way to the library, quickly she gathered her bearings and headed towards the main building. Realizing she had only a few minutes left to spend in the library she hurriedly walked through the corridors when she encountered a boy. A tall dark haired boy, who looked very attractive to Celia. She glanced up at him and just caught his eye before quickly looking away. She had been longing for someone to share her life with, but at the same time she was afraid. What if someone she loved would abandon her or if they constantly got into fights like her parents had? Her father had abandoned her, she felt, he had left to Japan after the divorce and she actually hadn’t seen him since. They would meet up during the holidays, but he felt weird and distant to her. He had find a new love and moved in with her and Celia despised him for it. For leaving her and her mother behind and for moving on so quickly. She of course knew that their parents hadn’t been happy, but a divorce like this she had never imagined. She liked to think her parents would at least have stayed in the same country. She felt sorry for leaving her mother behind for academic purposes, but her mother had been encouraging. She wanted for Celia to have a better life than hers and to become a scientist.

In the library Celia dug out her book for foreign literature, she had only 10 minutes, but she didn’t care. At least she could make a start and then she would run to homeroom for the start of the day.

Amano Mizuki ~ 2-A ~ Scholarship student

Location: Residence Halls - Her room (C-410)
Interacting with: Li Hua ( Makomin )
Mentioned: Eiichiro ( L Libero ), Celia ( LXLynx )​

Mizuki had to suppress a sigh when she came out and saw Li Hua on the couch, just finishing up on touching up her makeup.

"I heard the first year students would be...interesting. What do you think?"

She leaned against the wall next to her door, glancing at the clock, as if uninterested in the topic. But she allowed a small smile onto her face, let her expression brighten slightly, thus completing the facade of someone exuberant at the thought of new prey, and yet attempting to feign disinterest.

In reality, she felt neither of the two. She didn't enjoy harassing the other students; to her, it was simply a means to an end. Her feelings on the matter were now made even more complicated by the fact that Eiichiro had started at Yuugen, and as if it couldn't get any worse, he was taking film studies, the one class she happened to share with Li Hua. She could at least take comfort in the fact that he wasn't a scholarship student like her, but with his chatty personality, it would be all too easy to offend Li Hua or one of the other elites who insisted on retaliating against anyone who even said one wrong word against them, as an "assertion of their power". Would he be able to survive the next three years unscathed? If he did manage to attract attention from any of those students, she didn't know if there would be a way for her to protect both him and herself at the same time.

Despite these thoughts swirling in her mind, she managed to cock her head, and say, "New students are always a delight to have, don't you agree? We'd probably have to tame them early on, though; let them roam wild for too long and they may get too...relaxed."

"Especially our new little roommate," she continued. "She seems sweet enough, but"—she shrugged—"who knows what fangs she may be hiding? I'm surprised you haven't pounced on her yet, seeing as we're going to be living with her for the next two years. Or are you enjoying drawing this out?"

Hmm. If Li Hua and the others decided to target Celia, or any of the other first-years, perhaps Eiichiro would be able to avoid catching their interest for a little longer. Should she continue to bait them in that direction?

Mentioned: -​

Just as Chiyo was running through her classmates in her mind to think of who else may be able to help out, Felix's voice came through the phone. “Hello! What’s up! I think I might barely make it to class, were you waiting for me already? I’m almost to homeroom.”

Letting out a sigh of relief, she replied, "Good morning, Felix. And no, I'm still in my room...I was just wondering...Did you, um...finish the history homework?"

He chuckled. "Don't tell me you forgot to do it again, school is important ya know," he teased.

Just then, Kiko came out of her room, still dressed in her nightgown. As Chiyo watched, the blonde, still visibly drowsy, prepared herself breakfast from some leftovers. She wondered if Kiko knew how to cook any Korean dishes. She'd love to try them. And if she didn't, maybe Chiyo could take her to that amazing Korean restaurant on the Avenue, just to give her a taste of home. Or maybe it wouldn't live up to her standards?

"Yeah, I know, I know...But...history..." she sniffled.

"It's not sooooo bad ya know. I always tell you we can study together if you needed, I can make it fun and simple,"

"Hmmm..." she considered. "...Okay, then! Let's study together this weekend if you're free? Then we'll see how fun you can make it,"

"As far as I know I should be pretty free in the late afternoon at the start of the weekend so sounds like a plan. But about the homework, yes I did finish it, want me to give you the work to copy in front of homeroom?"

She put a hand to her heart dramatically. "That'd be amazing; you're a lifesaver! Thank you~ I'll treat you to something the next time we go to the Avenue? Or maybe I'll buy you something at the festival next week!"

"Hmm...buy me a bunch of mochi and take me out for ramen during the festival and we have a deal."

"Deal!" she replied with a laugh. "I'll even throw in some extra meat with that ramen!"

"Sounds great! Thanks for the meal in advance Chiyo! And hey remember I wanted help on a song I've been working on. I'd like your voice if you could offer it."

"My voice?" she said, surprised. "Well, I'd be more than happy to help out, but...you sure? If you want, I could help you find others with more powerful or sweeter voices, maybe?"

"Well I asked for yours, I need it for this song. I'll ask more for other songs I make in the album."

She let out another soft laugh. "Alright, then!" Suddenly, she noticed the time on the clock.

"A-ah, oh no, I'm going to be late! Ahh nooo~!" she wailed. "I'll see you in class, okay, Felix?"

"Alright then! Ya I'll see you in class."

Hanging up, she raced into her room, where fortunately, her bag was all packed up and ready. "Kiko, you ready?" she called. Her junior had cleaned up after breakfast and had gone back into her room, presumably to get ready. "I think we can still make it if we leave now!"

wang li hua.

feeling: happy ❀ tagged: NightPhoenix

though li hua herself is an elite, known to most in the academy, she isn't ignorant to the happenings in her outside 'circle'. before mizuki was taken into the elites and even now, many (well, those who care) have questioned the reason behind so. a number of elites that reigned the academy saw it almost as a shame to have a scholarship student associated with them, let alone, clumped up with them.

it was a wonder li hua didn't share the same sentiment. unknown to anyone in the academy, li hua's past made her not overlook anyone here. she knew that even a weakling could overthrow the lion on its pedestal. as such, she didn't mind having mizuki around. in fact, she'd say that she had grown almost accustomed to having her around especially since she knew wang li hua under her innocent mask. and it seemed as though mizuki always knew just what to say- she never went over nor did she pretend.

li hua said nothing but looked at celia's door. she wondered whether the other female had really went first before them. standing up, li hua made her way to her new roommate's door before giving it a small knock. she gave a small smile before saying, "celia, are you ready yet?"

after a few seconds, there was no answer.

li hua cocked an eyebrow before calling out again, "i'm opening the door!"

after a few seconds of no reply once again, the chinese-japanese opened the door to find an empty room and a bed that was already made. she seemed to stare into the room for a few seconds before closing the room door behind her.

she walked over to get her tote bag before making her way to their main door, "don't say that, mizuki. we should let sleeping dogs lie. we need to get to know celia a bit more. find out what her hobbies are, who she's friends with, what her family does. don't you agree?"

wang li hua gave mizuki a small smile, similar to the one she made before opening celia's door just as she slipped into her pair of red flats.

seemingly giving what the other female had said a thought, li hua opened the door to their dorm before replying back, "i'm dying to see the other first year students. we might find a new toy." li hua laughed slightly before making her way out as she waited for mizuki.

Fukuda Kazumi
Location - Residence hall
Interactions - Nishizaka Kuro ( Coyote Hart )

Kazumi took a deep breath and followed after Nishizaka, eventually quickening his pace to be side by side before being slightly ahead of him. If anyone was going to set the pace, it would be him.
"Actually I just needed to stop by to collect some more flyers in the meeting room. Maybe you could take half of the stack to put around in the First Year Halls. They're the ones who need the details the most." He looked back at Nishizaka smiling. There wasn't really much of a choice in whether or not Nishizaka would take half of the flyers, but he figured creating the illusion of choice was some sort of curtsy for them.

Already Kazumi was already guiding him down the halls to the Council room. It was a simple grab and go that Kazumi would most definitely be able to do while being on time to his first period . . . Nishizaka, on the other hand, might end up having to quicken his pace but that wasn't really Kazumi's problem. Less manual work for him to do was always a plus. Why they even printed out informational flyers about the Cherry Blossom Festival was beyond him since it was obvious everyone knew about it as is.

"How have you've been adjusting to the facilities here? Nothing too difficult, right?" Kazumi asked this without glancing over at Nishizaka, not really caring too much about his reaction or a genuine response. It was blatantly obvious that the boy had no strong connections nor was he the heir to anything or importance; this much was clear from his mannerism and how his hands lacked the polished glow of a wealth . . . meaning he had done much more tasks manual in steed of a servant doing the heavy lifting in life.
Still, Nishizaka was his roommate and having bad relations would be more troublesome than making some effort in a good relationship. There was also the fact that he could probably push some of the more boring tasks onto Nishizaka as a friendly favor or whatever so maybe this sheep wouldn't be so bad to feed once in a while.​

Kiko peeled off her night wear before pulling out her uniform.She had gotten the largest female size available but was still quite a bit too tight, especially in the chest and hip areas. She had already popped and resewn on a few buttons.

She could still hear Chiyoko on her phone to her friend Felix. From her observations Chiyoko was a social creature. She overheard something about studying and then the festival that was coming up. It was apparently very beautiful, at least it looked so from the posters surrounding the school and residence, but Kiko could not remember coming to one. It seemed like a very social and loving event so it seemed Kiko would probably end up either sitting alone enjoying the food stalls available or watching it fro her window.

Sighing, She freshened and cleaned herself up a bit before haphazardly running a hand through her hair.

"Kiko, you ready? I think we can still make it if we leave now!" Chiyo called from outside her room.

“Okay, I'm coming,” she said as she was gathering her belongings, she flung her bag over her shoulder and left her room.

“Let’s go?”

Mentioned: Eiichiro ( L Libero )​

Bounding out of the residence halls, Chiyo made her way to the main building with Kiko. As she was switching to her indoor shoes, she spotted Yuki in the same row, a little further down. "Gooood morning, Yuki!" she called. Lightly tugging Kiko to her classmate, she faced Yuki with a bright smile. "Yuki, meet my new roommate, Arami Kikoyumi, whose mom is a model, and"—she turned to Kiko and gestured at Yuki—"Kiko, this is my classmate, Oshiro Yuki. His father's a high-ranking police officer. Um, a lieutenant general, right?" Out of habit, Chiyo had made what would be a usual introduction at Yuugen; the name followed by their 'claim to fame', so to speak.

She clapped her hands together, suddenly remembering. "That's right! You're both taking Korean and in the swimming club! Ah...so have you met each other already? Sorry, I forgot..." she said sheepishly.

Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted one of the many 28-inch televisions placed around the school. Felix's new roommate Amano Eiichiro, whom she had been introduced to earlier in the week, was already reading the morning announcements. Seeing that jolted her memory. She was supposed to rush to meet Felix to finish her homework!

"Um, Yuki, Kiko, I'm sorry," she said, her expression apologetic. "But I have to get to homeroom. I, uh, have some matters which I need to quickly settle. The two of you should continue talking, though!" she added. "There's still time, and I think you guys might hit it off. Well then, please excuse me for now,"

Bowing quickly, she made her exit, turning on her heel and striding as swiftly as she could to class 3-A, trying not to run.

With a sigh of relief, she found Felix also on his way there, recognizing his familiar figure even from the back. "Felix!" she greeted, her smile still bright. Her energy level in the morning was commendable. "Morning again. So...If you don't mind..." She held both hands out expectantly, her eyes pleading.

So the first-year had snuck her way out early. Smart. Although perhaps it would've been slightly advantageous for her if she had overheard their conversation; maybe then she would have some warning of what was to come. But that may have only quickened her demise.

"Don't say that, Mizuki. We should let sleeping dogs lie. We need to get to know Celia a bit more. Find out what her hobbies are, who she's friends with, what her family does. Don't you agree?"

Mizuki tilted her head, mirroring the other girl's smile. "Of course. And if she doesn't have any friends yet, well, I suppose we'll just have to step up to the roles of responsible seniors, right?"

"I'm dying to see the other first year students. We might find a new toy." At that, Mizuki thought, No doubt you're excited for that. but just laughed in response, nodding as she followed Li Hua out and shut the door behind them.

It seemed the fates were truly playing with Mizuki on what could otherwise have been a beautiful morning. As they were making their way to class, who did they have to run into? Why, none other than Fukuda Kazumi, another of those holding Mizuki's leash. Behind him was what looked like a first-year, based on his demeanor. Speaking of new toys, it looked like Kazumi had already gotten his hands on one. That was quick. As expected of Kazumi, she supposed.

"Good morning, Fukuda," she bowed slightly. She nodded at the boy behind him. "Who's this?" Your new pup? she added silently. At the same time, she watched Li Hua. Kazumi and Li Hua had an...odd relationship, to put it lightly. It was something she kept an eye on; it was only logical to know how the ones above you felt about each other, no? Any chinks in the bond were something to watch out for, and possibly take advantage of.

 

[SomebodyElse]

The blonde american girl hurried to find her classroom. She figured it'd be best not to be late. The Student Council President being late wouldn't be the best look.
But why couldn't they all just have fun for once in a while. She sighed.

Picking up her stuff and walking to Classroom 3-A she had been picking up a quick pace trying to not look too much in a rush. When she had made it closer to the classroom she had noticed a few familiar faces. It was Felix and Chiyo. They seemed to be interacting a bit and Cassie decided to go up behind Chiyo and put her arm on her shoulder.
"Hey guys. Are you guys not in your classroom yet? Oh no I might have to write you up! Just kidding. Anyways...what's up?" She said.
She knew Felix abit and somewhat knew Chiyo as they were in the same class.
"I'm so stoked for the upcoming festival. I don't even know what I'm going to do though. I've been so busy trying to help plan things...
You don't think Kazumi is trying to sabotage the festival somehow right?"

Cassie realized Kazumi, as the vice president had a tendency to try to undermine her. She didn't really mind that much actually.
It was a game that made the whole position more interesting.
"Felix. How are you doing today?"
The three of them should've probably been getting to class. However Cassie would've preferred to chat all day.

oshiro yuki.

feeling: calm ❀ tagged: NightPhoenix Letai

at the sound of his name being called, yuki's gaze focused onto the familiar classmate before it wandered to the female next to her. it was a wonder chiyoko remained the same, after two years of knowing her. with her rather bubbly personality, yuki sometimes forget she's in her third year alongside him. however, he was pulled out of his thoughts when kiko and himself were introduced.

it was rather unnecessary like chiyoko mentioned as the both of them have met during their extracurricular activities. yuki didn't mind the female but he couldn't say the same for the other.

he distinctly remember seeing her at one of the many high-class functions her father attended as the senior commissioner of japan's police agency. she was wandering outside, in the gardens when he first saw her. he then remember meeting once again at a rather cold exchange between his father and her father. he later found out her father was a politician. a dirty one, some rumoured.

though, yuki didn't say much to her except many an exchange or two at the swim club. she had always been more soft-spoken and didn't really say much to him. over the span of a week, he deduced she probably shared the same sentiments their parents did- disliking him. he didn't mind at the very least but it was certainly uncomfortable at times, considering they see each other quite often.

yuki oshiro closed his shoe locker before sliding into his indoor slippers, not bothering to look up as he asked chiyoko rhetorically, a nod towards her mentioning his 'rank' in the academy, "when did you did you join the broadcast committee?"

she left as immediately as she came and yuki couldn't help but sigh at her actions. he could just walk to his class without a bother in the world but having kiko in front of him was something he didn't prepare himself for this morning.

"see you." was all he said to her before he proceeded to walk ahead, towards the stairs. he figured she'd probably do the same.

li hua didn't say much in reply to mizuki afterwards. after all, the only thing left to do was to observe. she didn't admit it to the female but it was pretty obvious she was on the hunt for a new prey. well, toy.

as they walked towards school, li hua engaged the female in small talk regarding her new drama that was to air. just as she divulged more into the drama, the both of them caught sight of none other than kazumi and a male she was unfamiliar with.

immediately, a small smile made its way to her face as the they approached them. the short-haired female raised her hand in a small wave at kazumi before greeting him, "morning, kazumi!" she then faced the male next to him before greeting him too, "good morning. i'm li hua, kazumi's friend. what's your name?"

two-faced she was, she worked her bubbly persona well, wondering how the both of them knew each other. she knew enough about kazumi to know that he was definitely not a sibling of his. probably a friend from outside the academy, she assumed. maybe even a roommate. though, it didn't really matter as it seemed as though kazumi is keeping a tiny clutch on him.

"it's been awhile since the three of us had lunch together. why don't we have some later? you can come along too." li hua suggested to kuro before gesturing to kazumi and mizuki with a slight tilt of her head.

Shimizu Christian ~ 2nd Year (2-B)

Location: Main Building (Broadcasting Room)
Interacting with: Eiichiro ( L Libero ) [non-verbal]​

From behind the camera, Christian watched Eiichiro as the sunny boy delivered the mornings announcements to the school live. The cheerful enthusiasm that exuded from him was charismatic so that Christian could not help but smile during the broadcast. Returning to the camera and being a part the production was enough to lift his spirits for the arriving school year.

Christian had gotten up early that morning in preparation for the first day and first broadcast for the year and got ready quietly to not disturb his two other roommates, upperclassmen, who were still resting (as far as he knew) at the time. He ate a light breakfast in order to not take too long to leave. Though not particularly excited for a repeat of the cycle for class and work like last year, he got himself out of summer vacation back into the fold of things. The broadcast helped to remind him of the joy that could ensue this year. Perhaps, he can try out some new things at the events that are coming up and get closer with the others here.

What he was excited for the most, though, was the cherry blossom festival. Spring was his favourite season and the majestic cherry blossoms in peak bloom were his favourite to behold during the time of year. He has sketchbooks and scrapbooks with pages of photos and drawings that witness of the true beauty that the blossoms possess. He had not gone to the cherry blossom festival his first year with anyone; he came from outside the city and did not have any previously established friend or acquaintances that were at Yuugen. The first two weeks at a new place is not enough time to develop a friendship...at least for him. But perhaps something different might be the case this time.

Reeling himself back into the present, he continued to pay attention to the news as broadcasted it and waited for the program to conclude for the morning.​

Felix van de Corput


After the conversation ended Felix ended the call soon after sliding the phone into his pocket. Felix reached the classroom a few moments later and decided to prepare for Chiyo’s appearance and if on queue his best friend yelled after him with a little pep in her step as she chased his footsteps still seeming a bit disappointed in herself for not completing the task and having to ask Felix for the work. He never minded helping her whenever she needed it, besides it’s what friends did and she always managed to pay him back for his help even if he never needed her offers but he took them anyway mostly due to him being hungry. Now his mind finishing it’s wandering he turned to face the girl and smiled handing her the history work and after giving her the morning hug he usually did. “Morning again to you too Chi-Chi. It’s no problem really, you already know I don’t mind helping you.” He attempted to reassure her,

As he handed Chiyo the packet, the other foreigner other than him showed up, she was class president but her presence didn’t really make him feel like he needed to follow the laws of the school, she was usually cool-headed and from what he could tell they were kinda friends already, he found himself usually hanging out with her from time to time when she wasn’t busy doing her school activities…speaking of which the Festival was coming next week. Too bad he didn’t have any individuals to really go with besides Chiyo, she was the only one he knew would be around him at that time. He doubted any other girl around the school would even bother trying to get his attention for the festival and he wasn’t sure he wanted any of the other more high classed girls too because well…they weren’t very good people, at least in his eyes, from what he saw they bullied people and just thought highly of themselves shunning most others out from their group. Just as he was out of that thought Cassie asked how he was doing and his thoughts on the vice president in which he shrugged. “I’m doing pretty good this morning, what about you?” He asked politely and followed it up by answering her question. “To be honest…I uh think he is okay but something did feel off about him but I can’t put my finger on it.” He finished with. “And we are doing nothing really, I’m just helping Chiyo study for history.” He explained.

Fukuda Kazumi
Location - Residence hall ~> Main Building
Interactions - Nishizaka Kuro ( Coyote Hart ), Wang Li Hau ( Makomin ), Amano Miyuki ( NightPhoenix )
​

Kazumi waited on Nishizaka's response, formulating his own words in response only for trouble to catch his eyes. The Elite and the Special Sheep; Li Hau and Amano. Seeing them so early was a mild irritation since it was not in his schedule, but these ladies were useful to keep around so he sucked it up and smiled warmly at them. Today's scent was mango; sweet but still calming, just the aura he needed for the day it seemed.
"Good morning ladies, I see you two have gotten your full beauty sleep." He greeted them both simultaneously with equal attention. While he had the occasional fling with Li Hau, they weren't currently dating at this moment and there was no need for him to put in the extra effort to spoil her. If anything, Amano was starting to get pretty interesting but he'd had to wait and see before shifting her labels.

Kazumi locked eyes with Amano as he gestured to Nishizaka,
"This is Nishizaka Kuro, he's my roommate and is one of our newer members in the Student Council." He placed a hand on the first year's shoulder, shifting his gaze between the two, "He's already adjusting so wonderfully, I doubt there will be any problems for him . . ." Kazumi spoke kindly, but his eyes said differently. This was a warning to Amano and Li Hau; that it would be in their best interest not to involve him in any of their schemes. Getting this message through was more important to him than acknowledging Li Hau's lunch invitation.

He instead turned his attention to his wristwatch . . . He could probably fit it in his schedule to have lunch with them. So far he was still on track even with their encounter and maybe it'd be a good thing for them to get on friendly terms with Nishizaka. Regardless of the pros and cons, Kazumi decided to just brush off the invitation and leave it to Nishizaka. If Nishizaka wanted to test the waters, of course, Kazumi would accompany him but others that he could easily just do some tasks for the Council instead.

With that in mind, Kazumi cast a side glance over at the first year. They were still fairly new to each other so he was still trying to learn what he could about Nishizaka.

[/div][/div] [div class=vesuImageOut][div class=vesuImage][/div][/div] [/div] [div class=vesuRight][div class=vesuText][div class=vesuScroll] Eiichiro loved being in the broadcasting committee. When he was live, he was able to talk as much as he wanted...plus he got to miss the first few minutes of homeroom. Today's announcements went on for quite a while. It was only the first week of school and clubs had submitted announcement requests to the broadcasting committee to promote them. There were announcements for the swimming club, the basketball club, you name it. There was also an announcement reminding the students that the cherry blossom festival is coming up and that they should look forward to it.

"That's all the announcements for today! Don't worry if you missed anything, the broadcasting committee will have a bulletin board outside of it's club room with all the announcements listed. Thanks again for listening and have a good day, Yuugen!"

That was Eiichiro's routine line that signaled the end of their broadcast. After getting the signal from Christian-his upperclassman who worked behind the camera-that they were offline, Eiichiro let out a big sigh of exhaustion and rested his head down on the desk in front of him with his arms spread out.

"Ahh...there were so many announcements! I never thought I'd say this but my jaw hurts from all the talking", Eiichiro said to Christian. "Senpai, next time, you're gonna be talking about the announcements and I'll be the one to work the camera", Eiichiro said to him jokingly. "Anywho, we should start packing up and get to class. We're already later than usual", not that Eiichiro really cared. If anything, he was happy that he got to miss more class time than usual but he had to look like a good student in front of his upperclassman.

After cleaning up the club room, Eiichiro's stomach growled. He was hungry. He wasn't able to eat a hearty breakfast and didn't pack himself a lunch as he had no time. Since Eiichiro usually woke up early, he would often pack himself a light meal for him to eat before lunch or even better, ask Felix to make it for him. He had the time to do so and he was usually always hungry after broadcasting. Eiichiro grabbed all his scripts and notes and put them into his backpack. However, he noticed a small Tupperware case inside it. He took it out and opened it to see a nicely arranged breakfast. He knew that Felix must've put this in his bag. Without hesitation, he saw down on his chair and began eating it. Felix...I'm so grateful for you..., Eiichiro thought to himself while eating and trying his best to not let out tears of joy.

As he continued to eat, Eiichiro wondered about what happened during his first week at Yuugen. During the first week alone, he had such a wonderful roommate, he got to be in the broadcasting committee with an upperclassman and best of all, his cousin Mizuki attened Yuugen too. He hasn't seen her in years and couldn't wait to talk to her again.

"Oh Senpai! Since you're a second year, have you met someone named Amano Mizuki? She's a second year too. What's she like??", Eiichiro asked Christian while carefully putting the empty Tupperware back into his bag. He wanted to know how she was doing after all those years of separation.
