Prolouge: Scared and mysterious
I was walking down the hallway, hoping to bump into another classmate. As I was doing that, I was counting down the number of students that I saw and how many more do I need to introduce myself. I met Rin, Uyeda, Hirohito, Minami, Toshiaki, Kazuno, Jun, Moriyo, Sora and Yuki making them 10 students. I just need to meet up 5 more, I thought. I was so deep in my thoughts that I didn't notice someone was following me until they popped up right in front of my face.
"BOO!" They shouted and I almost fell. "Haha, you should have seen the look on your face. It was priceless~!" They giggled. I took a long look at my scarer. It was a girl with purple bushed pigtails and was wearing a clown mask. I couldn't see her face.
"Hell-o! Did the cat catch your tongue~?" She asked. "D-don't scare me like that. I could have gotten a heart attack," I said, clearly not happy. "Oooh I'm sowwy~," the girl apologized in a bubbly childish tone. I let out a groan. "Anyway, are you another classmate?" I asked. The girl put one finger at the mouth of her face. "Funny you should ask that," she said.
"Huh?"
"Fiiine~ since you asked so nicely. Ichigo Hina, the Ultimate Clown is my name and talent!" She explained. "I'm Kuro, Ultimate Coder," I said. "Ooh the Kuro Tamashi? The one who helped code Jumping Usami? I loved that minigame and that's no lie~," she said. If that mask didn't cover her face, her eyes would have been sparking. I flinched when she said my last name and Ichigo noticed. "Ooh sensitive topic huh?" She said. "N-no I'm fine if you say my last name...it's just that usually that leaves people to make fun of me because of what my name translates to," I said, scratching the back of my head.
"Bullies huh? Urgh! There's nothing more than I hate in the world are bullies," Ichigo folded her arms and I'm sure that she was pouting behind her mask. "Aaaanyway Tami~chan, I'm sure the rest of us are around here somewhere so best if you keep on going," she said and skipped away. Tami~chan? I wondered. Ichigo is a weird one but at least she doesn't appear dangerous or like a bully. Guess I got to follow her advice and keep on going to find my other classmates, I thought and kept walking around.
I walked by a library and poked my head in. It's a nice quiet place here, I thought, smiling remembering how Toshiaki reacted to a small bit of silence. He'd hate it here, I thought walking in. I took a look around the library. It looks...normal, I thought. Then suddenly I heard a voice coming from my left. "Hey."
I turned around to see a boy with orange hair and wearing a brown coat. "You must be another Ultimate here," he said. "Oh r-right. I'm Kuro, Ultimate Coder," I said. "Robin Oga, Ultimate... erm I actually don't remember my talent if I have to be honest. Kind of embarrassing," he said, slightly chuckling. "O-oh really. Well I hope you remember yours soon," I said, awkwardly.
"Anyway what are you doing here at the library?" Robin asked. "I was just looking for the rest of the students. I bumped into one wearing a clown mask earlier," I explained. Robin flipped a page in his book and said, "Oh right, her. Yeah she doesn't take off the mask even when someone asks her. I did and she refused. I don't know why though." "Is that so...," I said, shuffling my feet. Robin noticed my uncomfortableness and said, "Why don't you continue on your search for the rest of us? I'm sure they'll pop up soon." I perked up at this. "Really? Wow thanks Robin," I said and he looked up and smiled. "Anytime," he said and went back to his book.
