Chapter Text
Spring permeated through the air as cherry blossom trees were in full bloom. The school bells of Aeon Eternal high school rang through the courtyard, as students — new and old — made their way to the assembly hall.
Heizou breathed in, sakura petals landing on his hair, before sighing in contentment.
Shinkanoin Heizou!
A determined and calculating second year with a sharp mind and a keen eye for detail., and somehow managed to find his way on the Disciplinary committee! He has a particular interest in investigations and mysteries, which is why he’s been seeking to join the Academy’s Detective club all throughout his junior year!
Despite his cool demeanor, he has a particularly mischievous and aloof nature! Which makes him a total pain to deal with for some people!
“Enjoying the view?”
“Nothing beats the smell of a new year, Kazuha-san,” Heizou replied, a sly grin on his face as the white-haired male walked towards him. “My intuition tells me that this will be an interesting year.”
Kaedehara Kazuha!’
A calm, easy-going, likeable second year and a real prodigy when it comes to the way of the sword! He’s an avid member of the kendo club, and throughout the years has represented the school with his natural reflexes and unwavering determination! Despite this, he has a mostly friendly and approachable demeanor! Making him very popular among his peers.
Kazuha softly laughed. “Is that so?”
“Of course,” Loud voices from behind them could be heard, “And here’s my proof coming this way.”
“Make way for the Arataki gang!”
A large-built man with four other people arrived at the courtyard. Hair as silver as the moon, red eyeliner and a sharp gaze, the man and his self-proclaimed gang marched through the courtyard.
Aratakai Itto!
A young, notorious second-year who is known for his troublemaker attitude and delinquent behaviour! Followed by his friends— oh sorry, ‘gang members,’ and a secret member that nobody knows whose identity is, Arataki itto has quite the reputation!
“All throughout our junior years and a first year of senior, yet he still insists on being a delinquent,” Kazuha said. “You have to admire his persistence.”
“The show isn’t over yet,” Heizou said, his lips curling into a cheeky smile as a figure stalked from the school and made their way straight toward Itto.
And here we have second-year Kujou Sara! With a fierce aura and eyes that of a tengu, Kujou Sara holds the position of the head of Aeon Eternal’s disciplinary committee! She’s known for being strict and no-nonsense when it comes to enforcing the school rules.
Her sharp words and steely gaze commanded respect from even the toughest delinquents, all except Arataki Itto! Who she has been butting heads with ever since their elementary years!
“Aratak i Itto !”
Itto snapped his head towards the voice before laughing. “Hey there Kujou! How was your—”
“What do you think you’re wearing?!” Kujou Sara snapped, gesturing towards Itto’s unbuttoned uniform.
“Eh?” Itto tilted his head. “W-well—”
“And is that a kanabou?! I thought I warned you it was against school rules to bring anything dangerous!”
Itto sputtered, “Now, hold on—”
“A second year and you still act like a bumbling fool,” Sara sighed, pinching her nose in fustration.
At this point, everyone’s attention was on the two. Some students had their phones out while others were gossiping with each other.
Itto’s face burned a bright shade of red. “Hey, hey, hey. It’s a new school year! Can’t you just cut me some slack?”
Sara crossed her arms, her expression unyielding. "Rules are rules, Arataki. And I won't let anyone, not even you, get away with breaking them."
Itto threw his hands up in frustration, turning to his gang for support, but they all avoided his gaze.
Heizou and Kazuha exchanged a glance. It was clear that the situation was escalating quickly, and they needed to diffuse it before it turned into a full-blown fight.
"Hey, Sara," Kazuha spoke up, his voice gentle but firm. "Maybe we can discuss this somewhere else? We don't want to cause a scene."
Sara hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Fine. But this isn't over, Arataki. I'll be keeping a closer eye on you this year."
Itto grinned, unfazed. "Looking forward to it, Kujou."
As they walked away, Heizou let out a low whistle, "That was quite the show," he said, his eyes sparkling with amusement.
Kazuha nodded in agreement. "But it seems like trouble always follows Arataki around.
"Heizou smirked. "Well, he does seem to attract it like a magnet. But let's hope it doesn't get too out of hand this year."
Kazuha chuckled. "Agreed. I don't think I can handle another full-scale brawl in the courtyard."
As they made their way toward the assembly hall, Heizou's mind wandered to the Detective club. He had been trying to join it for years, but every time he brought it up, the topic was quickly dismissed by the other members.
He couldn't help but feel intrigued by the mysteries and investigations that the club worked on. Maybe this year would finally be his chance to join.
But for now, he had to focus on the assembly and the start of a new school year. Who knew what kind of adventures and challenges awaited them?
As they entered the hall, the chatter of students filled the air. Heizou grinned, feeling a sense of excitement for what was to come. This year was going to be interesting indeed.
