I and the summoned person from Spain stare at each other.

We had just made an alliance.

She was the first one to break the staring by looking away.

I reach out my hand to help her up.

She looks at my hand like it's something completely foreign.

"What? I'm helping you up. Don't you know what this is?" I said and looked like a question mark.

"Shut up, of course I know." She said. She grabbed onto my hand and I pulled her up.

"So now when we're in an alliance I'd like to know your name." I said.

It was a must to at least know what your ally is called.

"My name's Sofia, what's yours?" Sofia said.

"A pleasure to meet you, My name is Hikari. I'm one of the summoned people from France" I said and bowed. I thought it was good to be formal in this situation

"What's with the formalities?" She said and started laughing

"What do you mean, I thought it was better if I was polite!" I said

"But you sounded like such a dork" She said and laughed even more.

This girl!

I almost regret making an alliance with her.

"What's with that power too? It's way too weak" She continued.

She looked like she had the time of her life.

I was almost about to hit this woman. I had always had trouble taking negative comments, from my bullies to my teachers.

I remembered. I had to go back to the speech!

"I have somewhere to be, see you later!" I said and poured some energy that had been recovered into my legs and ran away from there.

I glanced back and suddenly she teleports away. What's with that power?

I run as fast as I can back to the entrance of the big hall, I turn off my power and go to my seat that surprisingly, still was empty.

I sit down and hear Napoleon still talking. How much does he have to say?

It's been like 10 minutes already. Napoleon steps down and Squad 95 walks up to the podium, Charlotte stands in front of the others and starts talking.

"As everyone knows it's almost time for school again, and Squad 95 has decided to add another member to our squad. The following students have been chosen for examination."

Everybody cheered in excitement, I looked around and started hearing some whispers here and there

"Hope I'm on the list" "No way, you know Squad 95's the best squad around" "I'm totally going to be on the list". I didn't really care and just waited for the whole thing to be over. Charlotte continued

"The eight students are Frederic, Veronique, Jean-Pierre, François, Karl, Sofia, Chloé and...”

The tension was really high and everybody was super excited but I had other things on my mind.

So Sofia made it, huh? I looked around the room to try and see if I could find her. I saw her a couple of rows in front of me.

She was looking around the room really excited, She found me and I waved my hand. She gave me a smile and turned her head towards the stage.

There was also a name in there that didn't sound French at all, Karl.

Maybe he was a foreign exchange student. By his name, I would guess that he's from the Scandinavia region. Hopefully Sweden, because that's where I'm from.

Hikari is just a name I thought was cool when I was younger.

“Hikari, would the students who were named please step up on the stage” Charlotte finished.

I was speechless.

Why would they choose me when they have seen how weak I am.

More than that we had only met recently.

There must have been a mistake, I try to listen for some clues.

“Who the hell is this Hikari guy” “How could someone I don't even know beat me?”

No one knew anybody named Hikari. I got stunned, so shocked I was.

The other students who were called stood up and started walking towards the stage with surprised faces, especially Sofia. I managed to get in control of my body and stood up, I started walking towards the stage with my hands in my pockets.

Along the way I heard comments about me, most of them were pretty negative.

But I did hear some compliments on my style and appearance, which was pretty nice. The place was very big but it was easy to hear what people “whispered”.

The others went up to the stage but Sofia waited for me.

“Good job, considering you're so weak” Sofia said and raised her hand for a fist bump. Slightly annoyed I bumped her fist.

Just a couple of minutes since we met but acting like we're best friends, How interesting.

We both went up to the stage and lined up with the others. Camille started talking

“Three days after the school-start, which is in one and half weeks if you didn't know, you will all partake in a small tournament to decide who's going to join Squad 95. The battles are already decided and are posted outside. I wish good luck to all of you.”
