A/N
I was just drawing random comics of Elsword… I read over one of them and thought, "Hey! This actually is not bad for a plot!" I kind of imagine the Wind Sneaker path of Rena to be a little devious matchmaker kind of person an awful amount of times in my story ideas, so do expect a matchmaking Wind Sneaker often in future stories. And so, this story is all about our dear elf pulling off her little matchmaking scandals… in your typical high school with magic universe! Whilst I did want to make every single pairing... I do intend on making the final verdict-./shot. They are subject to change though! So I organized it in my little head to have a little bit of a fluffy plot than random stuff scrawled everywhere on a few pages of paper as a 'comic'. I think it might be a little out of place but hopefully I can organize that in the future… hopefully. Well, here we go with the classes!
CLASSES;
Rena: Wind Sneaker
Elsword: Rune Slayer
Aisha: Elemental Master
Raven: Blade Master
Chung: Deadly Chaser
Eve: Code Nemesis
Ara: Sakra Devanam
Elesis: Pyro Knight
Rena tapped her pencil thoughtfully against her chin, smiling dreamily as she thought of the endless fantasies that could happen if her friends had just found a lover in the middle of her science class. In the prestigious school of Elrios Academy, people were surely to find love here in this school… or so that was what Rena thought was going to happen soon. Rena inwardly smirked to herself. Before she graduated and ventured off to the world, she would make sure that Elrios Academy would soon also be known as the Elrios Academy of True Love! For she, the cheerful and pure elf, would make sure that her friends had found their true loves before they could get away from her grasp. As she deviously plotted ways to get them to perhaps realize some feelings, her targets were left unaware of the inner depths of her mind, due to the elf covering up her plans with that sugary-sweet attitude of hers like always. Rena knew she could fool at least half of them by keeping the same attitude as she usually has before she came up with this brilliant idea. The elf glanced over at her purple headed friend, her hair tied into two pigtails as she drew on a piece of paper. She quickly shot a glance at their teacher, Echo, before giving herself the go ahead as she began inching towards the girl's paper. Slowly but surely, the elf could start to see parts of the paper. All Rena could see were hearts before she noticed her science teacher staring at her observingly as she swiftly shot her head back towards her desk, putting both of her hands on the desk and sitting straight up like an attentive ace student. Echo smiled at Rena, before resuming her lessons on the Periodic Table of Elrios. Rena let out a soft sigh, reluctant to wait until after her science class to take a little peek at whatever the purplenette was doodling. Judging from the hearts on her target's paper, it was finally time to put some matchmaking in action. Her thoughts were interrupted as a soft tap was felt on her shoulder, and noticed a slip of paper poking out from the subject of matter's hand. Rena made sure her teacher was not looking for sure this time, before silently snatching it and unfolding it.
"What's up, Rena? You almost never get this close to trouble. -Aisha"
Rena hummed a soft melody in her head as she elegantly wrote back on the piece of paper. Her first target was Aisha, the class president, the genius, and the purplenette who still needed to find a boyfriend.
"Oh, it's nothing. I'll tell you after class~"
Slipping the paper back towards Aisha, the class president gingerly opened up the paper. The elf silently giggled at the thought of the self-esteemed class president doing something unlikely of someone who took pride in the class president title: passing notes during class. Her violet eyes scanning across the paper, Aisha eyed Rena suspiciously, as if she were suspecting that she had something in mind that she was not revealing to her (which Rena really is). However, Rena pretended to pay Aisha no heed as she looked back at Echo, who had not noticed the interaction at all due to her back facing the class as the alchemist wrote across the black board a whole bunch of abbreviations and symbols. She impatiently tapped her pencil against the desk, glancing at the clock every now and then expecting the bell to ring subconsciously. Noticing she was acting very similar to a certain red haired boy, Rena had to stifle a giggle at her own self. Speaking of red haired boys, Rena drifted her attention towards seat a row ahead of her, where the cocky but attractive Rune Slayer, Elsword sat.
He was a very bright kid, even though his grades would sometimes say otherwise. The boy just had to put his mind to it, and he'd pass any test with flying colors. Rena knew that, despite everyone else doubting it. Well, his sister Elesis (preferably Elsa by the woman herself), had gone overseas for three years. Elsword's grades were at the worst during that time, but ever since she came back to study in the same school as her younger brother, his grades have been getting exceptionally better in comparison to those three years he was alone. It wasn't at a level of Aisha's grades, but it was progress. All he had to do was put his mind to it. Looking at the boy, it was quite obvious that Elsword was trying his best to not fall asleep and pay attention in class, although he wasn't doing so well at that. The red head had to be constantly nudged awake by the silver haired nasod next to him, Eve. Which leads Rena to thinking about her silver haired friend.
A perfectionist in anything related to science, math, or technology, but not quite in her socialism abilities. She would be absolutely awful in socializing if it weren't for Elsword. Actually, Elsword was the one who brought Eve into their little group of friends. Ever since, Eve has been getting better at talking with other people even though she has a bit of a problem with most girls when attempting to talk with them. The ringing of a bell snapped Rena out of her thoughts, as she leapt out of her seat in joy for once. Aisha tapped on Rena's desk impatiently; frowning as she rained on Rena's little parade.
"Well, Rena? I don't have time to waste." Rena gave a sugary sweet smile at her friend, neatly placing her things in order as she clutched it towards her chest.
"Oh, I just wanted to know what you were drawing in the middle of this class?" She asked innocently, secretly full on the intent to figure out what was on that little piece of notebook paper. Aisha put her hands behind her back and looked confused at Rena.
"What do you mean? I wasn't drawing anything. I was taking notes. Maybe you were just seeing things, Rena." Aisha answered. Rena shook her head, smiling as she did not believe the class president's words. The elf saw hearts and her eyes do not deceive her. Obviously the girl was in love.
"No, I saw hearts and I'm sure of it, Aisha. Mind showing me that paper? I'm just curious~" Rena said with that innocent tone as Aisha frowned. Then the purplenette noticed a red head and a silver head leaving the classroom together. Quickly shuffling around as she grabbed her bag from her chair, Aisha gave Rena a quick smile.
"Sorry Rena, actually I'm walking with Elsword and Eve to my next class, talk to you after school, okay?" She said hurriedly, before running after them, throwing a crumpled up piece of paper in the trash can. Rena eyed the trash can mischievously, smirking as she walked towards the trash can and softly took the piece of paper from the trash can as she walked out of the classroom. As soon as she was out of Echo's classroom, Rena unfolded the paper, and her grin widened by tenfold as she scanned the contents of the paper excitedly.
It had a beautiful picture of Aisha in a simple but very nicely drawn dress, red ribbons in place of the usual hairbands. Picture Aisha was smiling at a boy, who had his arms around her waist as she drew her own arms around his neck. Hearts surrounded them. It was uncolored, but Rena knew how obvious the boy was. It was Elsword, of course! So, even the class president was not resistant towards the handsome boy's charms. Rena folded the paper in a much neater way as she slipped it in her bag.
So Aisha likes Elsword… I wonder if he returns those feelings towards Aisha.
Rena hurried towards her next class, waving towards her new target's sister as she, too was walking towards her own next class. Rena ran into the class right as the bell rang, leaping into her seat next to Elsword, who sat next to Eve. They seemed to almost always sit together in class. The teachers seem to think it's a good idea, the smart Eve with the immature ladies' man, Elsword. The class grew silent as they waited for the teacher. Except, where was the teacher? Five minutes passed, and small whispers were around the classroom due to there being no teacher. Elsword nudged Eve playfully, and Eve nudged him harder. The red head smiled at her, as if saying that her challenge was accepted as he nudged her again. Then they started nudging each other, each time harder than the other in a competition to see who can nudge with the most force. Rena giggled as when the noise got louder and louder, the door slammed open as their math teacher, Noah, came in. At that moment, Elsword and Eve nudged each other at the same time, causing them to fall down together onto the floor as the people who were watching chuckled, turning into blown out laughter as Eve started slapping him for making her fall over with him. Rena's sharp eyes did not miss the tinges of pink on the red head's face. Her eyes furrowed in confusion.
I thought he liked Aisha! Wait no… Aisha likes Elsword… I don't know if he feels the same way yet. Calm down Rena, maybe you can find something out in this class period.
Rena breathed in and out a few times, before politely putting her hands on the desk as Noah scolded Elsword and Eve for horse-playing when she wasn't in class. Eve bowed in apology as Elsword rolled his eyes. The silver haired nasod roughly elbowed him in the stomach, glaring harshly as he clutched his stomach in agony and apologized to Noah. The rest of the class cracked up even more at their antics as Noah sniffed before nodding haughtily, turning and walking towards her desk as she began attendance.
"Aisha."
"Here."
"Ara."
"Hello!"
"Elsword."
"Hey there!"
Rena's elf ears were the only reason why she could hear small 'kyaas' from the group of girls in the back. Noah didn't seem to notice as she continued.
"Eve."
"Present."
Noah continued on the list as she called out every individual person's names in order of the first letter in their name.
"Raven."
"Here."
"…Rena."
"I'm here~"
Their math teacher closed her eyes as she firmly closed the folder that had all of her attendance sheets neatly organized. Walking towards the front of her class, she crossed her arms as her gaze was very serious. The air turned cold and some of the girls shivered.
"I have something very important to discuss with you guys." Noah started. Already everyone sat upright, hands folded on the desks properly. Usually, Noah wasn't the teacher you would want to be disrespectful towards when she makes an announcement. She let a small smile grace her features at everyone's posture and behavior as soon as she said those words, before clearing her throat and letting her mouth fall back to a line. Immediately her head whipped towards the best swordsman of the class, Raven.
"Raven! Would you prefer to have your rice hot or cold?!" Noah demanded, slamming her hand in front of the swordsman's desk. He reeled back in shock, golden eyes wide before retaining that 'cool and calm' look that made him have several fangirls right away. He cleared his throat in a similar manner to Noah, politely looking up at her.
"Having your rice hot or cold does not matter. It fulfills its duty on satisfying the person's hunger either way." Raven stated, his eyes closed calmly as his reply was smooth and fluent. Noah nodded in approval, walking back towards the front of the room as she placed her hands on her hips while the girls in the back gushed at how 'amazingly cool Raven-sama is'. Noah angrily opened her mouth again.
"See? It does not matter if your rice is hot or cold! If you ever whine about having your rice hot or cold you are undeserving of a lover!" Noah screeched, causing the class to press themselves against the back of their seats. Rena sighed, smiling but shaking her head in disappointment at their math teacher, who was relentlessly ranting about whether or not someone should want their rice a certain temperature or not.
That's our math teacher, Miss Noah… her relationships never last do they?
As soon as Noah finished ranting, she smiled again, crossing her arms.
"Okay guys. We have a new student today! Please welcome Chung Seiker."
Rena heard footsteps as a handsome young man with spikey blonde hair, brown tinting the edges of parts of his hair walked in casually, donning the school uniform which consisted of a simple white dress shirt and black pants. Everyone chattered excitedly, especially the girls. The elf immediately knew he was going to be the next poor guy with fangirls at his tail every day of the week. He looked around the classroom before the elf noticed his cerulean eyes lock onto a certain purple haired girl with mild interest. Aisha's purple eyes drifted towards his eyes, and blinked innocently. Rena smiled, interested in the new student's attention towards her fellow friend. Noah noticed this and saw the empty desk next to Aisha. She looked towards Chung.
"Alright, Chung, why don't you sit next to Aisha right there?" Pointing to the empty desk to the left of Aisha, Chung hid a smile as he walked towards the desk without question, sliding in the seat and formally sitting upright on a natural instinct. Aisha stared at him a little, before shaking her head quickly and turning back to the front as Noah clapped her hands, walking towards the board and beginning her lesson. However, after a little bit of thinking Rena immediately clutched her head, putting her head on her desk.
WAIT! Clearly Chung might like Aisha… but Aisha likes Elsword… so if Elsword likes Aisha back… IT'S… IT'S…
"A LOVE TRIANGLE!" Rena screamed, pulling on her hair. Everyone's eyes were on her, and she blinked. Noah tapped her fingers on the oak teacher's desk and frowned at Rena. Letting a nervous smile spread across her face, Rena faked a laugh as everyone still stared. Elsword stifled a laugh and Eve stared at the elf blankly. Chung smiled as he rested his elbow on his desk, propping his head up with his hand as his other hand was wrapped around his chair. Aisha looked visibly concerned at Rena, obviously because Rena never got into this much trouble before. Raven stared at her in curiosity, with his gaze just being on her sparking envy in many girls. A girl with silky smooth black hair, part of it tied into a bun which was kept together by a hair needle blinked at the elf in curiosity in the corner of the classroom. The room was silent except for Noah tapping her fingers on her desk, and then a pen fell on the floor loudly. Noah's tapping increased even louder.
"Who dropped that pen." Noah ordered, not looking away from Rena as she froze in her position of clutching her hair. Everyone looked around for the culprit, before focusing on the girl with sleek black hair as she shakily picked up her pen.
"M-Me Miss Noah." She quivered, and giggles were heard throughout the room. Noah sighed.
"Ara Haan, correct?" Noah questioned icily, her voice dripping with venom. The girl, now known as Ara, shook uncontrollably. She sat up a little straighter, but still shaking like crazy.
"Y-Yes ma'am." Ara confirmed softly, her orange eyes looking away. Noah's tapping grew even louder than before as she glared ominously at Ara and Rena.
"I failed, Ara! I failed in finding out who Elsword likes!" Rena wailed to Ara in the empty classroom. The two were currently in detention, Ara for interrupting the entire class 'rudely' (Ara's point of view is that she dropped her pen when she was holding it), and Rena for screaming during class. Ara laughed nervously, patting the elf's head as she continued to wail over her failure. Then Ara scratched the back of her head uneasily, realizing something.
"U-Um… Rena-san?" Ara started, fiddling around a little. Rena looked up at her, sniffing.
"Yes?" Rena answered, her attention now on Ara. The girl looked down, shading her eyes before biting her lip and boldly looking at the elf head on in the eyes. Rena blinked innocently at her as Ara clenched her fists in determination, taking a few deep breaths to prepare herself.
"I… I would like to know what you are planning to do. In exchange, I will tell you who Elsword likes!" Ara shouted. Rena's eyes shot to the size of carriage wheels. Immediately Rena leaned in closer, nodding vigorously as her sad aura immediately radiated one of hope and excitement.
"Yes, yes, yes! Of course! I'll start right now. So, I…"
Rena explained everything, from how she thought every one of her friends really needed a lover to discovering how Aisha liked Elsword, and Chung's seemed to be interest in Aisha. Ara listened with her complete attention on the elf, obviously hooked by Rena's thinking. Rena then told her about how she was trying to figure out who Elsword likes when she realized that if Chung liked Aisha, and Aisha like Elsword, that would mean there would be a love triangle going on. Finishing off with her screaming about the love triangle and getting thrown into detention with Ara, Ara slowly nodded.
"Okay… can I help you?" The girl shyly asked. Rena observed her. Obviously, Ara held a huge amount of interest in her upcoming schemes, and perhaps it would be best if she had a second pair of hands to assist her in her little matchmaking. Rena smiled gently at Ara.
"Of course. Now… your part of the deal?" Rena prodded gently. Ara seemed easy to crack, so she tried to not hurt the poor girl's feelings too much. She immediately smiled brightly, and Rena felt so happy she could make this girl smile so purely. Ara quickly nodded before taking a deep breath, still smiling.
"Elsword likes Eve. Eve is the silver haired nasod who sits next to him in math class and during lunch, as well as several other classes." Ara's smile died down as she said those words, her mind working as she fit the pieces together. Rena clutched her head once again in agony.
"NOOO! SO CHUNG MIGHT LIKE AISHA, WHO LIKES ELSWORD, WHO LIKES EVE! THIS MEANS…"
"LOVE SQUARE!" The both screeched in sync, falling over in their chairs and wailing. The door creaked open, and the two classmates hustled back in their seats as it opened. Elsword looked a little messy as he rubbed his head, Eve walking in after him with a good whack to the back of his head, her eyes closed in agitation as she grit her teeth. Rena blinked, putting a hand on her cheek.
"You imbecile! One does not laugh hysterically at people getting sent to detention by Miss Noah!" Eve scolded, causing Elsword to flinch a little. Noticing Rena and Ara, Eve roughly pushed Elsword in front of both of them as they looked in confusion. Eve glared at the red head as he cowered in fear.
"Now, apologize this instant!" She yelled, her pale hand gripping his shoulder tightly. He hurriedly nodded and bowed politely towards them.
"I AM SORRY FOR LAUGHING AT YOU GUYS!" He shouted swiftly in one big rush, like he was talking to an officer in the military who called him out. Ara let out a small giggle as Rena chuckled amusedly at Elsword. Rena looked at him with half-lidded emerald eyes.
Elsword likes Eve… maybe I should just see how strong his feelings are towards Eve, and Aisha's feelings towards Elsword. Matchmaking, commence Rena!
Rena's eyes trailed Elsword as Eve placed herself in the seat next to him, the chalkboard in front saying DETENTION with three lines under it for emphasis. The two people who just entered detention engaged in silent conversation, with quiet whispering. Ara twiddled around, unsure of what to do and wanting to move around so much. As Rena devised a plan, she was finally formulating a good way to measure how much Elsword loves Eve until she heard a foot slam on the teacher's desk. The elf jolted up straight, surprised at the sudden action only to find a certain Rune Slayer holding a NASOD microphone in his right hand. There were no wires, so obviously it was not going to amplify his voice so that the whole school could hear. Elsword stood straight up on the teacher's desk, tapping the microphone twice for no apparent reason before… crudely singing a song.
"PLEASE DON'T SAY YOU ARE LAZY! DATTE HONTOU WA CRAZY! HAKUCHOU TACHI WA SOU! MIENAI TOKO DE BATAASHI SURU N DESU~"
Then he started dancing girlishly on top of the desk, doing a few spins and jumps while sassily shaking his hips. Ara couldn't take it and fell off of her chair laughing in a very unusual way for the normally timid girl. Rena heard tiny giggles from Eve, though it was obvious the nasod was desperately trying to hide it and maintain her façade of being cold and emotionless. Although, Rena herself could not contain the fits of laughter that erupted from her mouth as he turned around and shook his hips. Ara gasped for breath desperately, but once she turned and saw the Rune Slayer shaking his rear she fell back down and erupted into a second round of laughter.
"ZENTO YOUYOU DA SHI! DAKARA TAMA NI KYUUKEI SHICHAU N DESU!"
Elsword danced around on the teacher's desk, swaying his hips from left to right while his arms from the elbow down were extended outwards from his body. Eve tried to force herself up to punish him for pulling off something so unnaturally stupid but she found herself unable to do such from the hilarity of his performance. Well of course, how did this happen? Basically, Eve had made a half-hearted joke over a live performance in detention while making a microphone out of thin air. With Elsword being Elsword, he of course took this as a challenge and grabbed the microphone provided, and did what is happening right now. Terribly singing a song using the desk of where the teacher is supposed to be watching them as a stage. Today was supposed to be Banthus's shift, but he ditched to gather some of his hooligans to go out drinking.
"CHIKAMICHI AREBA SORE GA OUDOU~!"
Grabbing the microphone with both of his hands, Elsword continued to sing horridly while leaning towards the other three on the teacher desk. Rena had her eyes glued onto Elsword, trying to suppress the laughter from becoming worse. Eve's lips kept twitching from a thin line to a small fit of chuckling. Sparing a glance towards Ara, Rena thought very soon the black haired girl was going to be on the verge of crying from laughter. Ara's thin hand reached towards the desk, firmly grasping it as she hauled herself up, trembling from laughter. Sassily cocking his hip, placing his left hand on his hip, Elsword continued to sing more as he jumped off of the desk like how those cute lolis would in anime. Landing on both of his feet, Elsword continued to prance around by spinning and twirling, shaking his hips and doing loli jumps.
"JIBUN O AISANAKYA HITO MO AISENAI~~~!"
Girlishly running behind the desk, Elsword took a breath and jumped back onto the teacher's desk, continuing to hop on his feet while dancing. The laughter from Rena and Ara, along with a little bit of giggling from Eve still had not stopped.
"PLEASE DON'T SAY YOU ARE LAZY! DATTE HONTOU WA CRA—"
"Elsword, what are you doing in here?"
Immediately Elsword stopped in the middle of swaying his hips to the left, the microphone being held by his right hand in front of his lips. He blinked twice. The laughing ceased just as fast as Elsword stopped dancing. Rena and Ara fiddled around nervously, looking at each other with no idea of what to do in the current situation. Eve returned to her cold and expressionless face after the rare display of giggles as she stared at the person before them with a blank expression.
"Elsword… what's going on?" Aisha asked, walking towards the group in confusion due to Elsword on the teacher's desk, terribly singing a song with everyone else cracking up at his singing abilities. The Rune Slayer gulped in anxiety. Rena slumped lower in her seat. Ara was practically hiding under her desk, trying not to be seen by the class president, having only adapted to the motherly nature of Rena. Eve still stared blankly. Aisha put her hands on her hips, and looked at all of them.
"Guys? What's going on here?"

YES! TERRIBLE CLIFF HANGER RIGHT? RIGHT? ;D. What do you guys think? Liked, disliked, leave a review maybe? Please, let me know if I should continue this or not!
If any of you are curious; the song Elsword was singing is:
