"Hm. Very knowledgeable, Erk." Lute said, after Erk made a checkmate. They were playing chess.
"What do you expect? For me to lose? Not quite."
"Hah. You're all talk." Lute said, and she made her move, "Checkmate."
"What?!" Erk shouted, "That's..."
"You need to eat a lot more knowledge to beat me, a prodigy." Lute said.
"This is no time for games." Titania, the teacher, said, as she entered the classroom.
Lute and Erk put away the chessboard and Lute said, "Oh, we were just passing time, ma'am Titania."
"I have to go." Erk said, and went to his class.
"Oh. Very well. Take your seats." Titania ordered, and the students all took their seats.
"I am Titania, and I will be your History teacher. I expect to see a lot of intelligent and obedient students in this class, being the cream section and all that. Now I would like to get to know all of you a little bit more.
"Let's start from you, young lady," Titania pointed to Lyn, who was sitting on the front row, at the far left seat.
"I'm Lyn, and it's nice to meet you, Ms. Titania." Lyn said, "I'm looking forward to your teachings."
"Very well..." Titania said, "Next."
Squeals from the fangirls were heard all over the class. The student next to Lyn was Soren, the genius.
"...I am Soren. I have nothing to say."
Squeals from the fangirls again.
"My...this young man has...many fans." Titania pointed out.
"WE LOVE YOU SOREN!!" the girls in the background shouted. Soren ignored them all.
The students slowly started to tell their names--Eirika, Ephraim, Lute, Ike, Hector, Eliwood, Elincia, Raven, Fiora, Kent, Sain... but there was this young man that caught Titania's attention...
A young man with shiny red crimson hair and red crimson eyes stood up and said, "Good day, Madam Titania." His hair glowed magnificently because of the reflection of the fluorescent light in the classroom, and his actions showed the true identity of a gentleman. "I am Seth." He continued.
Titania was in a state of lovestruck. Titania...fell in love with Seth.
"Morning everyone!" Guy shouted as he entered the classroom, 2-C, but found out that he was late.
"You're late." the teacher said in a creepy way. His eyes glowed like that of a demon. Guy was stupefied.
"G-g-g-gasp...! Sorry, sir! I'll...I'll never be late again! Ever!!"
"..." the teacher ignored him.
"...I...I swear!" Guy said, and he sat on his seat.
"Okay, now our lesson will be about..." the teacher started, but Guy and most of the students weren't listening.
"Pssst." Guy's seatmate called to him.
"W-What?" Guy replied in a low tone.
"Be careful. That teacher...he's a demon."
Lunch time.
The students started entering the canteen when the bell rang. Nino, a sophomore, entered with Amelia and Rebecca, her classmates.
"Ah, the aroma of freshly baked canteen food," Rebecca said, "Makes me remember all the things we did last year."
"Yeah, and I love the michew pies they bake." Amelia mentioned, "It's just so yummy."
"Yeah! C'mon guys let's go get our lunches." Nino said.
"Oh, Nino. We'll just get yours. You wait here." Amelia said.
"Yup. Stay here and save our table, alright?" Rebecca said.
"Yeah, sure!" Nino said, and the two students went to the long lunchline.
Then, as Nino sat and waited, he saw a man carrying a box full of Coca-cola. He had dark red hair and wore an apron with the logo of Fire Emblem High. His eyes showed that he was mysterious, and his spiky hair showed his cool side. He carried the Coca-cola bottles to some storage area, and went away. Nino stared at him.
"Hmmm..." Nino said, starry-eyed.
"What the--?!" Lethe said, startled. The table which she was supposed to sit in was taken already, and she was really pissed, "What are you guys doing here?! Get out, will you?!"
"You needn't be too brash, Lethe." a man with grayish blue hair and pupils with different colors said, "It's just a table. There are a lot more tables in here."
"Yup, we're not leaving." Matthew said. Colm nodded.
"Hey, what are you implying anyways?! This is our table and my friends'll be coming here any minute!" Lethe grumbled.
"Fine, fine." Ranulf said, "We wouldn't want someone's blood to go popping in here now. Colm, Matt, let's go."
The three left.
"Hmph...filthy inhuman beings..."
"Let him do what he wants." Soren said, as he continued to eat his lunch. He was talking to Micaiah, his sister.
"But brother, he needs our help!" Micaiah said.
"It's his choice. He disobeyed the school rules and continued breaking it. Allow him to take his punishment."
"Brother, you have never been such a good person!" Micaiah said, angry, and she went away.
"..."
Meanwhile, at the principal's office...
"Stefan Brand of class IV-D," the mysterious principal said, "You've been here a lot of times last year, and now for you to do something on the first day of school...How courageous of you."
"..." Stefan remained silent, running his fingers through his messy green hair.
"And you...Heath of class III-C. You are a transferee, am I correct? And yet you cause troubles on the first day of school. How shameful."
"..." Heath remained silent, too, and his eyes were looking at a far away distance.
"Get out of my office, both of you," the mysterious principal said, and both Stefan and Heath went out of the office.
Dismissal. The school bell has finally rung, and cheers and shouts from the students, and everyone was leaving the classrooms. Joshua left his classroom as well, when Lyn saw him by the crowd.
"Joshua!" Lyn called for Joshua's attention, "Over here!"
"Oh, Lyn. Hey there." Joshua said.
Then, Ephraim came and saw Lyn, and talked to her.
"Lyn!" Ephraim shouted, "Wanna ride my car home? I heard it's only a few blocks away from our home."
"Oh. Ephraim, it's nice to see you. But, I really have to pass." Lyn said, "Maybe next time, I'll try."
"Yeah, sure. Bye, Lyn." Ephraim said, and spotted his sister and they both left.
"Hah!" Joshua shouted.
"Hm? What is it, Joshua?" Lyn said, puzzled.
"That guy seem as if he was hitting on you." Joshua said.
"What? Oh, no. Ephraim is just a friend." Lyn said, "C'mon we better get going."
"Yeah, sure."
