The clear skies and the chirping of morning birds gave the world its unique liveliness, the dazzling rays of sunlight and its scorching rays, made its way towards a certain window, the rays of light danced in the air, aiming for the eyelids of the sleeping youth.
A ringing sound echoed in the room, the youth lazily stretched his body, he reached for the alarm clock and tapped it down.
"Umm..." The youth was Junn Kazami the protagonist of this unremarkable story.
Junn stood up, once again stretching his body. With drooped eyelids he moved towards the bathroom in a slow manner. Junn began his daily routine, yet the coldness of the morning and the temptation of the laid out futon, enhanced his desire for sleep.
"Not yet!" Shaking his head, he drenched his face with a glass of cold water, somewhat awakening his murky consciousness.
Once again, the endless tug of war between sleepiness and awakening was done. Junn finally stood before the door of his cluttered room and sighed. "I will clean you later..." He murmured in the air.
The whistles of the passing car echoed in the air, the scent of the exhaust pipes and the familiar business of the streets can be seen. Amidst all of this, a youth could be seen striding in a hurry.
"Be careful, man!"
"Hey, watch your steps!"
"Sorry!" The youth repeatedly apologized as he made his way inside this rolling waves of people, this was the business of the morning market. The youth finally made his way towards a shop, there he was greeted by a middle-aged man.
"Junn! Here's your Salted Rice Porridge as always!"
"Thanks, Old man." The youth gave a small smile and slapped his palm on the wooden table of the shop. He raised his hand, revealing four sparkling coins.
"Nah, I don't need that!" The middle-aged man waved his hands.
"You're always saying that old Charl! Just take it! It'll make me guilty to take your food without paying!" After a long spanned argument, old Charl finally took the sparkling coins in a hesitant manner.
"I always told you that you don't have to pay!"
"Nah, let me insist on that old Charl, you're preparing me breakfast everyday for the past three years! that I don't even know how to repay my debt to you anymore!" The youth smiled, looking at his watch on his left wrist, the youth exclaimed.
"It's this late?!" The youth leaped backwards and ran to the opposite the direction. He waved his hand in the air and exclaimed.
"Thanks for the meal, old Charl!"
...
The morning bells of the academy tolled. Several youths can be seen running towards the school grounds in a frantic manner. One of them was a youth that stood out due to a bread stuck on his mouth. He gnawed at the bread in a fast pace as he ran.
Inside a classroom.
"Isn't that Junn Kazami? The hell is he doing always coming here late?" A youth with a chicken-like hair pointed to the school grounds. "The bell has already tolled!"
"That bastard is even chewing through a pita while running!" One of the youths who glanced at the window towards the school grounds couldn't help but burst into laughter. Junn sprinted towards the hallway leaving a shower of dust from behind.
"That guy is fast!" Astonished cries could be heard around him. Junn Kazami shrugged them off and continued running towards the third floor. His movements slowed down and an aching heat came from his tired legs. Still, Junn Kazami didn't stop and ran like a madman.
Meanwhile, at the furthermost corner of the hallway a muscular figure with a teacher's attire, and carrying folders with his right hand could be seen.
"Teacher is here! Guys! Transform!!!" A roar could be heard inside the classroom and the students turned into a swaying shadow as they cleaned the cluttered room. Within a few seconds, the room became tidy enough that not even a ball of paper could be seen on the ground.
The students stood straight wearing indifferent expressions. However, one of the students' expression changed when he saw the sprinting figure ahead by the window approaching the nearest classroom door.
"Hurry up, Kazami!"
"You can do it man!" Cheers echoed in the room, the chicken-haired student's expression flickered, the muscular teacher was now ten meters from the room! The chicken-haired student looked at Junn, a complex expression emerged on his face.
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Knowing the terror of their homeroom teacher, the chicken-haired student became hesitant for a moment. He turned towards the muscular teacher and saw that a small sinister grin leaked out from his usual apathetic expression.
"AHHH!!!" The chicken-haired student stood up, his body swiftly took his backpack and threw it outside the window towards the hallway. He followed in suit and picked up the backpack, running towards the muscular teacher's direction.
Junn Kazami's already pale expression when he saw the muscular teacher became even more paler that he looked like a white sheet of paper. That's because he saw the chicken-haired student suddenly throw his backpack and ran towards the hallway with the intention to leave.
The chicken-haired student's eyes glistened with manly tears... Junn Kazami knew why his friend did this for him. The muscular teacher's attitude was too terrifying... Junn Kazami couldn't hold his emotions and murmured in the air. "Thank you..."
A miserable shriek akin to a pig being butchered echoed in the hallway, a bang resonated in the classroom, Junn Kazami threw his backpack towards his seat and hurriedly stood like a steadfast soldier. His body full of perspiration and his breathing ragged. He took several mouthful of deep breaths before his breathing became steady.
"Tanaka..." Kazami gulped as a terrifying presence emerged from the corner of the hallway. A muscular figure walked with a slow pace, with a bedraggled Tanaka in tow. He threw Tanaka's backpack on his seat and coldly harrumphed.
The students instintictively flinched still, they remained steadfast and held an indifferent expression.
"Iwatani Tanaka dared to cut classes even while I'm around! As punishment, he will run around the school grounds for about twenty laps, or not... He'll take a special test..." As the words special test were spoken, a sinister grin leaked out from the muscular teacher's face.
Tanaka's expression became pale as if he was severely illed. He slumped on his seat, his head drooped low, as he didn't dare to look up.
The muscular teacher's eyes scanned the entire classroom. His cold icy eyes felt like the stare of the abyss itself, he placed the white folders he carried on his table before speaking.
"Bow, Seat!"
...
Lunchtime...
A tired bedraggled figure of Tanaka slumped on the corner. His breathing came in ragged pants and his uniform drenched in sweat. Junn Kazami stood up, he opened his backpack and took a bottle of water, he handed it to Tanaka as he spoke.
"Thanks earlier man..." Junn Kazami's words carried deep complex emotions. This Tanka was someone whom he knew for only about four months, he didn't even know his birthday yet the person in question already sacrificed so much for him.
"It's okay man, just remember to treat me with Oyakodon later." Tanaka spoke as he panted. Junn Kazami gave off a grieved smile and patted Tanaka on the shoulder.
...
In the cafeteria.
A constant stream of students swayed carrying metal trays with several foods on top. One of them was Junn Kazami, he raised his tray up above as a cheering Tanaka greeted him with a smile. The two seated on a two seater seat.
"Thanks for the food!" Tanaka clapped his hands together before chomping down on his food. He didn't care about the weird expressions of those people around him as he noisily ate. Giving Junn a dumbfounded look.
Junn sighed before eating his meal. Junn closed his eyes and moved his chopsticks in a slow fluid motion, he ate the pieces of meat and vegetables one by one and treated them as if they were as delicate as a frail young woman. Tanaka couldn't help but admire such scence before him. He couldn't believe that Junn could eat in such a dignified manner.
"Hmm, good as always... I rate it five-seven!" Junn clapped his hands together and smiled, as he opened his eyes. He noticed Tanaka's astounded expression. Junn gave a 'wassup' expression and stared dumbly at Tanaka.
"Ohh!! I didn't think that you can eat in such a cool manner, man! Lemme try it!" Tanaka imitated Junn's earliers actions and also closed his eyes, Tanaka tried his best to move fluidly like what Junn had done earlier, but in the outside world, he looked like an android robot moving its chopsticks, trying to eat its food.
"Man..." Junn could only shake his head as he sighed...
...
Classroom, first subject in the afternoon, Mathematics.
Junn Kazami stared blankly at the windows, since his seat was by the windows, he could get a good scenery. A petite female teacher could be heard speaking in a slow manner, explaining her discussions in a concise way.
'Ah... Mathematics... ' Junn Kazami deeply sighed.
He once again stared towards the outside world. The clear blue skies encircled the entire world, giving off a very calm vibe. But for god knows how, and when it happened. The clear blue skies suddenly became dark, as dark as a starless night.
"What the?!"
"Eh? What's going on?"
"An eclipse?"
"Wait, an eclipse?! I didn't hear anything from the news about that!"
"Calm down, everyone!"
The usually silent classroom exploded into commotion. Junn Kazami couldn't help but stand up. For some reason, he felt an extremely terrifying presence lurking inside those clouds.
"Hey! The door isn't opening!"
"Oh, shit! I can't see anything in the hallway! What the actual fuck is going on?!"
"Calm down, everyone! Don't panic!"
The classroom started to burst in to panic, frightened screams could be heard, mostly coming from girls.
"He-hey! What is that?!" Followed by a burst of an extremely white light. A peculiar runic carving could be seen on the ground. The petite math teacher's expression became pale. Tanaka also couldn't help but run towards Junn as the intensity of the light coming from the runic carving intensified.
Junn Kazami drunk a mouthful of cold air as the light reached its peak accompanied by terrified screams of girls and the courageous howls of the male students.
The light from the runic carving swallowed everything... Then the world returned to its previous calm... However, the once full of students classroom, became eerily empty... But if one looked closely a jet-black figure could be seen, giving off a sinister smile...
