1: Don’t Shit Your Pants On The First Day Of School “Don’t be nervous, you’ve been to the academy many times before,” Nyssa repeated to herself as she brushed her hair in the mirror. Today was her first day of... well, actual class. Unlike every other time she had gone to the academy with her father, she was now dressed in the institute’s white and blue uniform. Slipping on her shoes, Nyssa looked around a couple times before cracking the door open. Seeing no one outside either, she spun on her heel and stood by the door while pulling out her phone. It was still two minutes before she and her father had agreed to leave... A long two minutes later—that she spent scrolling through social media—Nyssa looked up to see her father, Kaiser Ravenstein, walking down the stairs. Dressed half-formal, black suit, he, as always, walked with an unusual amount of purpose. To Nyssa, whose favorite activity was napping in the sun, Kaiser’s perpetual ‘I’m about to walk into war’ walk was almost unnerving. “I still think you need to wear a larger suit,” Nyssa tapped her chin as Kaiser sat down to put on a pair of shoes. “It’s practically ripping from your muscles. Wouldn’t it be awkward if it ripped in the middle of an assembly?” “Don’t worry. I can move however I want.” Kaiser chuckled as he stretched upward. “See? My suits are rated with durability similar to high-level flexible armor.” ... Well, Nyssa knew that. Obviously. She felt like Kaiser mentioned it every other day. She just felt it was a little awkward for him to show off his muscles so much! He was old! He had a head full of white hair and enough wrinkles to pass as an expired fruit! “Let’s get going,” Kaiser patted her on the back. “Don’t be so nervous. I’ll walk you to class, okay?” “... Thank you,” Nyssa murmured as she followed Kaiser out to their car. Clutching her school bag as they walked, she ran through her little introduction a few more times until they sat down in the car.

With the car roaring down the driveway, she clung on for dear life as Kaiser drifted the car onto the road before racing down the street towards the academy. “Why? Don’t you say they don’t cause much trouble?” Nyssa fiddled with her bag as she shifted on her feet. “Well, that’s compared to both my expectations and how much they did in the past. Many decades ago Class 0 was causing huge amounts of damage and trouble on the regular. Now? Not as much. It’s like the people have mellowed out over the years.” Kaiser chuckled while cracking the door open. “After you.” Nodding in thanks, Nyssa walked along Kaiser as they made their way down the stairs, past another group of students trying to find their classroom, and through a breezeway. Of the Luminary Institute’s buildings, it was probably the smallest, but it was still equipped with all the training areas, rest areas, meal areas, restrooms, and the rest of the utilities. What made it the smallest though, was the fact it only had one true classroom. Entering the building, Nyssa felt Kaiser back off a few steps. Getting a few pats on the back, Nyssa stumbled forward as Kaiser smiled. “I’ll let you lead the way. No need for me to guide you right?” “... I mean, yeah, I have been here a lot before...” Nyssa looked around with a nervous edge creeping into her voice. Whispering to herself, she fidgeted with the strap of her bag. “Where to first... probably the classroom right? But should I use the restroom first?” Frozen in her thoughts, Nyssa stood in place as she fought the urge to find a corner to nap in. Life was a lot easier when one was asleep. That was the motto she lived by. “Headmaster, didn’t expect to see you here today,” A cheery voice interrupted from behind them. “Well, I thought I’d walk her to class on her first day,” Kaiser shook the woman’s hand with a smile. “Good morning though.” “G-Good morning! Yes!” Nyssa whirled around on her heel as her brain rebooted itself. “Oh wait, Angelica? Why are you here?” “Oh, did you not know? I’m the teacher,” Angelica reached out and shook Nyssa’s hand. “Welcome~ I’m looking forward to teaching you! Let’s get going shall we? I’ll introduce you to everyone!” With Angelica’s statement, Nyssa felt herself get dragged forward as Angelica guided her up the stairs and towards the classroom.
