An alarm loudly rang through and shook the very frame of the pitch-black room. The alarm clock continued to ring before it was abruptly cut off mid-beep when it was sliced in half. A quiet long yawn emanated from beneath a fluffy bedsheet. The small bump under the bedsheets blindly moved around until it reached the foot of the bed before the person under the bedsheet fell off the bed. The person landed on a large pillow before slowly rolling off the pillow and out from under the bedsheet, revealing the person to be a young girl.
The girl yawned again as she stood up and lazily stumbled over to the light switch; she flicked the light on, revealing what she looked like: she has super long fluffy and wool-like pale gold coloured reflective hair, pale gold eyes with metalic textured iris' along with having a glowing white ring in her pupils, tanned with a faint pale golden flow, kid-sized, and wearing a pale pink spider-themed onesie that had a spider head hood.
The girl blinked a few times and looked around her clustered bedroom, which was full of various forms of anime/manga merchandise (figurines, posters, bookcases full of manga/light novels/video games, and multiple game consoles). The girl mumbled about how much she didn't want to tidy up her room but didn't have much of a choice.
"Why did Mr Exster have to give me such a-," the girl grumbled before noticing the state of her alarm clock.
"OH NO! The clock Mr Exster made for me," the girl dramatically proclaimed as her hair spiked up like porcupine quills. She hurried over to her book-covered desk and picked up her two alarm clock halves. She stared at the alarm clock and realised the clock was still functioning; she rotated the clock halves and noticed the two halves had magnets on them. The girl slowly placed the clock pieces together and placed the restored alarm clock back on her desk.
"Oh... guess he saw it getting cut in half and put in a countermeasure," the girl muttered as she straightened some of the figures on her desk. The girl confidently nodded at her handy work before someone lightly knocked on her bedroom door.
"Nuno are you up yet? If you don't hurry, you'll miss the train," a female voice stated. Nuno's hair spiked up again before she sporadically grabbed multiple playing cards (that are pale metalic purple with a crystal blue textured tree with lots of roots on the back), stuffed them into the pockets of her onesie and raced out of her bedroom.
Nuno hurried down a flight of stairs and raced to the genkan (those parts of a Japanese house where people take off and store their shoes) and grabbed a pair of dark rose bear-themed boots. As she was putting on her boots, someone placed a red bear-themed backpack next to Nuno.
"I hope you won't be too lonely at Melenia Academy, it would hurt my heart too much if my baby girl was in such a state," Nuno's mother (who was practically an adult version of Nuno aside from having short and black hair, and grey eyes) dramatically said while over-exaggeratedly fake crying.

"Moom!" Nuno embarrassedly whined as her mother cheekily giggled.
"I kid, I kid, oh and you remembered to store your room in a Constellation Card right?" Nuno's mother asked, to which Nuno stated she wasn't five anymore and stated her mother doesn't need to keep bringing that blunder up. Nuno's mother quietly giggled as Nuno put on her backpack and stood up.
"Try to behave yourself the last thing you need is a repea-" Nuno's mother managed to say before cutting herself off and looking over towards the kitchen.
"Seems like your brother is about to try and do something stupid," Nuno's mother stated; she quickly gave Nuno a kiss on the forehead and told Nuno to make sure not to oversleep on the train before she hurried off for the kitchen. Nuno exhaustedly sighed and made her way outside.
Nuno took in a deep breath and stared up at the pale yellow sky as sparse dark yellow clouds sailed through the air. Nuno hopscotched across the brick path; she hurried down the larger one that was surrounded by double-storey cottages and raced through her village while greeting multiple people as she went.
Nuno eventually arrived at the stone brick train station right as a swarm of Constellation Cards (pale golden playing cards that have a crystal blue textured tree with lots of roots on the back) gathered around in front of the train station, followed by a floating wheelless train, made of pale gold and white iron, descending on top of the Constellation Cards. The train door opened and a masked man wearing a yellow and white train conductor outfit stuck his head out from the door.
"Well, look who it is; if it isn't the girl who's been telling me for the past month about how she's going to be attending Melenia Academy every time I stopped here," the train conductor remarked, to which Nuno smugly grinned in response.
"You betcha, and today's only difference is that I'm dropping the be-attending part," Nuno stated boastfully. However, Nuno's demeanour quickly shifted when the conductor stated Nuno won't be going anywhere if she doesn't get on the train first. Nuno shyly hopped onto the train and showed the conductor her train pass before she hurried over to a cabin booth.
Once the train's doors closed, the Constellation Card tornado blasted off into the sky and before long the train took off after the Constellation Cards. Nuno quickly placed her backpack on the cabin booth's long seat before staring out of the window and down at the lavender-coloured grass as the flying train soared through the sky. Nuno fist pumped with one arm and tightly grasped her fist.
"With this, I'm one step closer to becoming a full fledge card weaver," Nuno muttered before giggling when she realised she was starting to monologue. Nuno went to hop onto the cabin seat but couldn't have picked a worse time; as the train jolted forwards due to some turbulence and Nuno lightly banged the back of her head against the back of the seat. She remained motionless (aside from the movements caused by the train moving) for a few seconds before immediately falling to her side and having her head land on her backpack in a knocked-out state.
