"You're thinking about Utsumi, right?" Tsujihara asked.

"Yeah.” I responded. He defeated the two of you in an instant. He's just sitting there, as if nothing happened."

"You really can't judge a book by its cover---That's something I realised the hard way."

She's taking her defeat positively. That's commendable. But deep down, she must be feeling humiliated, and overpowered, since her position as the strongest in the class has been threatened. What a first half it's been---mad.

The next 3 periods were Mathematics, Historical Events, and English Theory---all of which were normal subjects. The last 3 hours went by in a flash. My first day was... strange, I suppose.

Room #501 - Boys Dormitory, after classes.

It's been over a week---I haven't been able to contact dad even once. That lousy reason of a "college trip" won't work anymore. He'll start worrying. I think I should give him a call.

*Ringing... Ringing...*

CALL ENDED

He must be real busy right now, with me and Akane gone. It's strange that he hasn't tried calling me yet---was I really that bad of a son? Heh. Henry did mention that he'd take care of it for me, so I'm assuming he must have convinced my dad...? Ah, I don't really know. I'll try calling him again sometime later.

"So, enjoyed your first day?" Yosuke asked.

"I didn't get bored, so you can say that. But I'm worried about my upcoming BT classes, because I don't know crap."

"Say, I wanted to ask you... What power do you have? I mean, it's kind of a weird question to ask, but do you mind...?"

Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

What now? Henry did tell me to not reveal my status as a rekishiya, but did he mention anything about revealing my powers? Wait a minute... I'm going to reveal it anyway during the practical sometime in the future, so am I safe here?

"Ummm---"

"It's okay. It's better if you show it to me during classes, rather than just telling me."

"O-Okay...?"

Saved. I'm just recalling what Henry mentioned regarding rekishiya---yurei with much stronger types of powers are classified as rekishiya. He would have found out about it if I had told him.

"At the very least, can I ask you one more thing?"

"Go on." I replied.

"You looked really shocked when you heard about reorbis---you really didn't know about it? It's actually, like, the first thing that we, as yurei, are told about. Didn't your mom or dad tell you about it?"

"Wait---your parents know about your powers?"

"Of course. They taught me how to fight---well, technically, my older brother did, but sometimes, also my parents did too. Didn't they teach you?"

"N-No, they didn't. And speaking of which, are all the students' parents aware of their children's powers?"

"I guess, yeah. Besides, you can't really get an admission here on your own---you need money, and consent from your parents, or guardian, after all."

Okay, this is news. Consent? Is this what Henry meant, when he said he'd "take care of it"? Then, my dad must be knowing about this...? Either that, or I'm being lied to.

"And in case you didn't know, most parents here are alumni of this academy. That's how they train their kids---they know about all the stuff regarding the admission, and the entrance test."

Why wasn't I told about any of this? Parents? Alumni? So that's how all the students found out about this place. I really thought they might have been the same case as I am. Then, I'm at a huge disadvantage here---my parents never trained me. Hell, they didn't know about my powers. And, I apparently don't know the "basics". I suppose I'll give the library a visit.

"That was very informative. Thank you."

"Hahaha... You sound like a military guy. Relax, man. And, you're welcome."

"Anyway, will the library be open at night? And, where will I find it?"

"Oh, it is open 24/7. Just keep walking left from the main building, and you'll find it." He replied.

"Thanks."

Outside the main building, 9:00 P.M.

Holy crap, is it cold. This place is like a hill station. How in the world did they construct this whole place without anyone knowing about it? Anyway, I'm supposed to go left, and according to my PDA, I'm about 120 metres away.

5 minutes of walking, and I can already see the library---it's a small building. Wow, that is neat. Let me---wait, there's someone entering... That looks like... Utsumi? Yeah, that's him---his slightly long, blonde hair is easily recognisable from afar. What is he doing here at this hour? Now that I think about it, this is perfect---I can find out more about him.
