Chapter 01 - New Student

"G-good morning, Kageyama-kun!"

"Ah, good morning to you, too, senpai."

"Hello, Kageyama-kun. No meeting for today?"

"Yeah, the president didn't announced any."

"Say, are you free later, Ritsu-kun?"

"I'm sorry but I'm busy, maybe next time?"

Kageyama Shigeo couldn't do anything but stand by and watch how popular his younger brother is with girls. It was one of those days that Ritsu didn't have his usual student council meeting early in the morning, so he was free to go and accompany his older brother to Salt Middle School together. Unfortunately, they were delayed by group of girls who saw the ever popular, Kageyama Ritsu, out in the open and decided that it was a chance to talk to him since he was always busy with his duties.

"Look at Ritsu, you could take a page out of his book for once if you wanted to be so popular, Shigeo." A wispy-like cloud of smoke with a face complete with two big red dots on its "cheeks", spoke to the older brother by his shoulder, floating in mid-air and seemingly invisible to other people as girls walk past them without looking at the weird thing.

"I can never be like Ritsu." Mob addressed the "smoke" nonchalantly, sounding like he was degrading himself.

"Hm? Why did you say that? It's not like you to get pessimistic." The green wisp commented as he spoke what he observed.

"Ritsu can do things that I couldn't, that's why I admire him so much." The older brother replied honestly, staring at his younger brother in silence as his lips infinitesimally turned upwards.

"Sheesh. That's why I have been telling you that you could use your psychic powers to become popular!"

"Dimple," Mob suddenly said without looking at him, his voice stern. The change in the tone of his voice made Dimple shiver in fear. "I already told you, didn't I? I won't use my psychic powers to something unnecessary."

Mob was a powerful esper that could exorcise evil spirits and do extraordinary things that normal people could not. However, despite this special ability that he has been born with - he does not boast nor use them against people, because he strictly believes that psychic powers are just another talent like any other and having them does not mean you are special. Dimple always thinks this side of him as frustrating, however, that trait of his was actually kind of charismatic.

"Okay, okay! I was just joking, Shigeo! I-I'm gonna go and barge in to Reigen's place. Go before your school bell rings!"

And as if on cue, the school bell did ring.

Shizuma Yumei was a girl who longed to be popular. There's no reason not to like her as a person, it's just that she was shunned by society ever since she can remember. It was understandable if she was discouraged if boys wouldn't like her back but the problem is, girls wouldn't like her, too. Nobody likes her, nobody ever wants her as a friend, they all feared her. That was the main reason she and her family left Meat City. And the city before that. And the city before that. And also the city before that.

She was constantly changing residences over her life that she couldn't find nor make a friendship that will last long (not that she ever finds any who was willing to talk to her), and that was why she find herself in this new city she will eventually call home: Seasoning City.

Her mother and father, after much debate, decided to enroll her to Salt Middle School, a typical average school that any other average student attends, and that was how she found herself inside the campus itself, unfortunately lost at her first day of school and was having trouble trying to ask for help; since she had almost no experience in talking to children her age.

The bell rang, signalling the start of today's classes, and she immediately panic. 'WhatdoIdowhatdoIdowhatdoIdo?' she thought as she fixes her glasses on her nose as it begins to slip from her sweat while watching students run towards their own classrooms. 'Come on, Yumei! No one knows you here, just ask a random person!' she urged herself, trying to stop a random person to ask for directions. She was always bad at directions, something she was born with.

However, before she can even stop one student, it seemed she bumped into one first. "I-I-I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to do that...!" she practically squealed, apologizing profusely as she lower her head so much that she was directly looking at the ground itself. Despite the exclamation, her voice was surprisingly soft, like it was disused for a very long time and she had only just started to use it recently. She was lucky that the person she bumped into was close enough to hear her quiet voice.

"A-Ah. No, it was my fault. I'm sorry, too." A monotonous voice responded, making her look up to the boy who she crossed paths with.

He had black hair and a very unusual bowl-cut hairstyle which she probably noticed first, and he had a blank expression on his face which Yumei couldn't read. Due to that blank face of his, it all the more added to her uneasiness. "U-um, if I offended you p-please tell me, I won't get mad, I'm sorry!"

Mob was taken aback that someone managed to interpret his blank face into that description, more so, a girl. "A-ah, no..! I'm not offended. You do not need to apologize—"

"Nii-san!"

Both of them looked around to see a boy with black hair, longer than Mob's which appeared slightly dishevelled. He was significantly taller than the two of them and he was currently waving to the other boy in front of her whilst he jogged towards their direction.

"Ah, Ritsu."

Wait, this boy just called him 'nii-san' which means—

"What are you doing, nii-san? The bell—" he stopped short when he saw the girl his brother was talking to, and turned to face her. "I don't see your face around here, are you a new student...?" He asked curiously. She looked up to him shyly and nodded. "Uhh, i-if you don't mind...I'm actually, k-kinda..." her voice was gradually becoming softer and it took the Kageyama brothers to lean forward to hear her words. "...lost."

The new student blushed as she admitted her clumsiness and twiddled her thumbs while looking down to avoid their gaze. Ritsu noticed her movements but didn't took mention of it as he gave a small smile, "I can show you to your class if you like."

Her head immediately snapped up. "R-really?!" The boy just nodded in return. "I'm part of the student council. I'm supposed to show new students around."

Yumei couldn't believe it. She found people willing to help her on her first day without exerting much effort on her part. "Thank you! Um...w-what should I call you?" She added when she realized she didn't catch either of their names.

The taller boy introduced himself, "My name is Kageyama Ritsu, and he's my older brother,"

"I'm Kageyama Shigeo, you can also call me Mob. Please to make your acquaintance." Mob continued with a small smile.

"E-Eh?" Yumei looked surprised at that fact and stared back at Ritsu then to Mob. Now that he mentioned it, they do look kinda similar. However, she soon realized that she hasn't introduced herself yet and recomposed herself. "O-oh! I'm sorry, how rude of me! My name is Shizuma Yumei. Pleasedtomakeyouracquaintance!" She said the last bit in one go anxiously since this was the first time people were willing to talk to her - and it even lasted more than 2 minutes! Yes, she counted.

"Now, Shizuma-san. What class are you in?" The younger brother asks politely.

"Uh," she paused to rummaged in her school bag, and seconds later she grabbed a hold of a paper where her class number and class scheduled is printed. "I'm in Class 2-1."

"Eh?"

She looked up to see who gasped and saw Mob looking quite surprised. Ritsu looked between the two of them before sighing to himself, "It seems I'm not needed." He said with a small smile. This just added to Yumei's confusion. "Eh? W-why?" She asked.

Mob took a small step forward, smiling to Yumei as he urged her to follow him. "Shizuma-san. Please follow me. I'm also in Class 2-1. We're classmates."

"Eh?!"
