After walking for a few minute, Arya arrived at boy dormitory. His room is in second floor, taking a step in the stair and walks while looking at number room.
''38...38... ah, here it is.'' Arya finally found his room in the mids of the corridor before he hear a familiar voice.
''Oh, isn't it that Arfools...?''
''Haaah...!!'' With a shout Arya turn his body and lashed a punch at someone behind him.
However the target easily evade it by lowering his body and slipped away like a snake. ''Whaah... it's dangerous you fools... what if passerby hit by you?''
''Tsk, good afternoon Edward.'' Arya said with poker face when he leans at the wall, however in his mind Arya really surprised. 'How can he sneak in my back without I know his presence?'
''So Arfools, you are in the same room?'' Edward sighed and asks Arya.
''If you call me that once again, I will kick your ass.'' Arya unleashed his anger while cracking his finger.
''Gulp.. hahaha... alright let's just enter and choose the bed.''
Edward just gulped while having a cold sweat, looking at angry creature in front of him, opened the door and enter it while looking at the room. Inside the room looks normal. A 3 bed that stacked in 1 place, a table and many more. Even bathroom in the side.
''Alright, it's in the upper side, middle, and bottom bed. What will you choose? I choose the upper side.'' Seeing the bed, Edward speak with a refreshing smile.
''What, how can you choose so selfishly...you-'' Arya glared at him, and before he finish his word someone cutting in.
''Excuse me...''
'''Eh....'''
Without they notice a person already standing in Arya side. He look too short for boy height with one head below Arya, he has shoulder short blue hair and golden eyes. While wearing a jacket his slender body still can be seen.
"Erm.. did you in room 38 too?''
''Ah, yes. You can call me Arya, this guy that have his mouth hang open is Edward.'' Arya introduce himself while point his finger at Edward.
''I am glad...Yes, nice to meet you. My name is Charles Jackson. Please take care of me.'' Charles smiled bright.
''... Beautiful.'' Edward speaking like in half sleeping.
''......'' Arya shocked at his friend and blanked 'What with this guy.'
''Cough... sorry, I am Edward, why a girl like you in the boy dormitory?'' Edward scratched his cheeks.
''Eh... No, you are wrong. I am a boy.'' with a still a bright smile, Charles explained while trotted inside the room.
'''What...!!''' The one who shocked not only Edward, as Arya was staring in shock too.
''.....'' Arya still in dumbfounded suddenly pulled aside by Edward.
''Hey, Arya follow me for a second will you... Did you really believe that!?''
''I don't know, did he say that himself... Wait, but whenever I see it he look like girl too.''
''Right? No matter what you can see, he is a GIRL..!!'' Edward inched his face close that his spit wet Arya face.
Wiped Edward spit, Arya pushed Edward face. ''Calm down, he will hear you...''
''How about this, we lock this room and strip him up. We will see he is boy or girl.'' Edward looked like a crazy and trying to lock the door but are stopped by Arya.
''That is a crime! Where did you take that line, you pervert.''
''Hey~ I am a real boy you know. Everyone saying that I am like a girl, but I am 100% a boy you know.''
When Charles said that he is really a boy, Edward with dead eyes standing there. It's seems he is still shocked about that even Arya just smile wryly and started divide their bed. Because Charles want the upper bed, the other two just nod their head while seeing his puppy eyes. They have no choice and started to decide the middle one with rock, paper, scissor that Arya manage to win.
''Alright, it's seems our clothes were already prepared. So let's started for introduction for comradeship. It's from me first, my name is Edward Brown from class 1-B. My primary weapon is Scimitar, with kunai and shuriken as Secondary and Throwing weapon.'' Edward said with a arrogant smile, there even some imaginary light flashed on his teeth.
'Hooh... did he want to became Assassin or Ninja? But, did it really alright showing your weapon? Wait isn't the classmate already know our own weapon. Well, never mind. Let's get along with it.' Arya just thought as he feels amused with Edward.
''My name is Charles Jackson, My Primary weapon is Magic Staff.... Grimoire as Secondary and Throwing knife. I am from class 1-C. Please take care of me.''
'Typical mage. But he choose knife too, Not bad.'
''...Next is me. You can call me Arya. Class 1-E. My Primary and Throwing is Spear with Sword as Secondary.'' Arya explained with proud face.
After that they starting to going down for dinner in canteen and meets with Alicia along the way. The canteen is for public use so first, second, and third year students make the canteen more crowded, originally Alicia looks shocked that the two walking with cute girl, but after some explanation she started to understand. They chatting about their time, but in the crowd Arya can feel unpleasant stare in his back and he didn't want to know who.
Morning next day, they just sightseeing the Academy to make first year student familiar about their own school. The teacher guide the students and showing the building in this school. But, in the middle of this activity Arya can still feels a unpleasant stare in his back, when he trying to take a peek, a girl with red hair turn her head away. He really worry and wonder what did he do to receive such a gaze whenever they meet.
The next morning, Arya starting to go to his classroom, today is the day when the first year received their soldier, originally yesterday is the exact day but because something urgent happen they have to pending it for a moment.
''Alright, first you pick a number from this box, I will send you to the training ground again when you can pick and train along your own soldier with the other classmate. When I says your number comes forward. Because something happened yesterday, the school will give you free 10.000 'Point' for each of you to add your own 'Point'. Remember, use your 'Point' to buy and arm your own soldier and of course your need in this place. So use it wisely. Now, let's begin.''
Free 10.000 'Point', with the one he got from Master Albert and his own 'Point', Arya have a whole 120.000 'Point'! Like the other Classmate, he feels excited and starting to pick a number, but unfortunately he just get the last number. It's make him sad. When he hear a giggle beside him, girl with red hair showing her number and hold her laughter with her free hand, number '1' is what written on the paper in her hand. Somehow he feels irritated and stared at her with dead eyes. The students starting for the red haired girl go to the training ground to take their soldiers and to train. When Arya appear, he want to slap his head in frustration.
"... Yo Airi, are they the soldiers for us?" Arya smiled wryly.
""We are ready to fight sir!!""
What appears in front of him are Airi with 20 young people with their ordinary clothes. Yes, young people. When you hear the soldiers or army, what do you expect is muscular and macho men with scars or scary face. But, here are, only boys and girls the same age. A 15 young boy and 5 young girl is all for him, when he saw his surrounding the men that appear on his head was already taken by other classmates and could only stares with dead eyes. Especially the girl, Tachibana with 20 scary man and his Partner is handsome macho man, when she felt his gaze she just cooly grinned at him.
'What the heck with her..!? I know first year is newbie and only getting 20 soldier, but what with this situation.' Arya can ony grit his teeth while avoid her stare.
Suddenly another light shine and a familiar person appear. ''So the other already have their soldiers, good. Hmm... what is spear boy, it's your fault for getting last number.'' He even smirked at Arya.
'This dang teacher... haah, whatever, they even have cheap cost anyway, so it's not that bad.' Arya sighed and obediently accepted it.
''Yeah, I know that already, alright you guys follow me.'' Arya just shrugged at Airi small voice and started walking to lead his people.
However, without they notice a pair of eyes was focused on them-no, the eyes was focused in Airi figure with curious glint.
*****
''Alright everyone, from now you will call me Captain Arya are you Understand?''
''''Yes Captain!!''''
''When answering, say 'Sir yes sir' or 'Sir no sir', understand?''
''''Sir yes Sir..!''''
'Ah, I really want to say this line... I can't believe I really have a chance..' When Arya find a place that looked far from other classmates, he began to teach his soldier with modern military speech and making 4 lines that make Arya hold his happy tear and make Airi tilting her head in wonder.
''Cough... alright I will divide your armor now.''
After that he change his soldier attire with red and white armour that almost the same as him and Airi, but with some change about helmet and feet armour. For the boy, he didn't add a horn and for the girl he discard Airi wing to make it different as who is the leader.
Armour like this is quite special, because their armour almost the same as their leader, it's considered Elite Soldier because expensive cost and high quality. Originally, new soldier always wearing basic gray iron armour or leather armor, but Arya choosing his Elite Armour on the spot. It's make his soldiers even Airi shocked and opened their eyes wide. After that their leader just smiling and nod his head.
''Alright, it's done. What do you think...?'' Arya nodded his head and asked Airi in excited voice.
'''''.....'''''
They feels happy at the first but after hearing Airi remark, some of them hung their head, gritting their teeth and gripping their hand really hard. They feels what Airi says crushed their heart, and angry feeling about their arrogant leader, but she is true, they are just commoner and weak so what can do is endure. But the next sentence from their leader make them dumbfounded.
''What are you talking about Airi, although this cost full 40.000 'Point', I choose this armor because I already think this in my mind. Isn't they look good with that. Look, when they wearing shining armor and manage to became strong their family will became proud of them right.''
'Hm, isn't Airi image being cool girl started to change? And her Intelligence is so high...'
Seeing as Airi just blinked her eyes, Arya shake his head make Airi to looked downward. Arya doesn't know that Airi change was also his fault. With his back straight Arya continued.
''They enlist to protect what they love right, you know that I am is still weak too right. With this, didn't we look like one. We will become stronger together, isn't it bad? Look, aren't they the same age as me too? I know what you feel but restrain yourself a little. Don't you believe your own Master.'' Arya seriously think of this and stared at his soldiers.
Feeling ashamed, Airi lowered her head. <... Please apologize me master.>
''That's good that you understand it. Cough, now we back to the topic. As you can see I using spear as weapon, I will divide you to 2 squad. Squad 1, will using spear, short sword and shield in my team. Squad 2, will using spear and javelin in Airi team. 10 boys with me, 5 boy and 5 girl with Airi. Are you understand?''
''''Sir yes sir.''''
Hearing what their leader say, his soldier have their color back in their face and answering with excited voice. Meanwhile, Airi looking down because what she say just now. When he finished divided their equipment and trying to continue, a girl with black and red light armour holding wide sword on her waist approach that make Arya sigh.
''You have a good spirit in there?'' The girl, Tachibana smiled and try to provoke Arya. Which is failed because she received Arya reply with poker face.
A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
''Am sorry did I know you?''
Hearing the rude word from Arya, a man beside Tachibana gripped his sword to pull it out from the sheat while says.
''Silence Leon. So you think you are that strong..?''
Tachibana stopped her Partner, Leon with her hand but still try to provoke him again.
''Who knows, we didn't know that right?" Arya smirked
''Huhuhu.... you didn't know your enemy you know?'' Tachibana ignored his word and narrowed her eyes at Arya.
''Shut up, I didn't want to hear that from stalker.'' Arya gnashed his teeth and glared at her.
Leon become agitated at Arya and shout
'What, she is stalker. She always staring at me wherever we meet you know.' Arya is silent but he stared at the shouting man and smirk.
Iroha Tachibana keep her narrowed eyes while she observing Arya from top to bottom. Meanwhile all her soldiers already unsheathing their weapon and showing hostility glare. Seeing that Arya soldiers making awkward stance. It's clear who will win in this battle. But, in this atmosphere, a lone girl is still looking at distance without light in her eyes as a sorrow surrounded her. Seeing this event, Arya just sigh and approaching a lone girl and shaking her shoulder.
When Arya arrived in front of Airi, she is still have blank expression even when he waving his hand in front of her face, he smiling and shaking her shoulder harder.
''...Airi stop blaming yourself, look your surrounding already!!''
''Buorg...''
'''''!!!!''''''

''To think you will act like that, you really amaze me.'' Iroha expression crumbled and she show a silly smile. what is with this boy?
Arya who walked back after being punched hard, had his face red. ''Shut up, leave me alone.''
''...Yeah, I think he is the wrong person.'' Somehow Tachibana showed disappointed face.
''Hey, I can hear that. What the problem with you? Do you want a fight?''
''Hoo... Do you want a war...?''
But after hearing challenge from Arya her soldier already ready for battle. While sweating in his back, Arya started to think something and smiling.
''War? Why not, but I think our soldier is nuisance for us.''
''Silence Leon. So, what do you want then?'' Tachibana make a interested expression.
'Got you..' Arya smiled and says.
''It's simple... Let's have a duel!!''
'''.....'''
''Huhuhu.... interesting. Leon I forbid your assistant from here, alright I agree. Let's have a duel!''
After she says that Tachibana rushed toward Arya while dragging her sword behind, seeing it Arya swing his spear aside and with his shield in the front, Arya rush toward her too.
With cute smile, Tachibana swing her sword downward toward approaching Arya. Sensing the danger, Arya evade to the left side and try to hit her with his shield, but somehow Tachibana manage to pull her sword before the shield hit her face and throwing her body away.

When Airi and Leon chatting about their master, they forgot about the existence of the goblins. Because no one is killing the goblin in this area, they became a horde of monster and all of them rushing toward Arya and Tachibana which still in a battle. When the horde of goblin that surrounded at all sides appeared in their eyesight, they didn't turn their body to face them and just take a glance at a moment and then keep locking their eyes at each other.
Airi also killed one with a stab.
Because their Master didn't even move a bit, their partner started to worry about them. When they decided to join the fray, they saw something unsuspected happen. Arya and Tachibana rushing at each other again, but when they are going to clash, they just pass each other and hit the goblin in their back.

Arya and Tachibana just standing in there while trying to take a break and take a breath. Tachibana (Iroha) smiling while showing her total kill, but Arya just taking a strange stance while pointing to above his head. While Tachibana (Iroha) glancing at there, she started to curse. The number that appeared is '16' just different in one, but what that make her feel irritated is at first, Arya look exhausted like her, but his breath look steady each time passed 'It's his skill?' She began to wonder.

"But..." Looking at the apoligizing Arya, Tachibana grit her teeth.
Airi smiled and said
Finally with Leon word, Tachibana sighed and turn her head at Arya.
