Memory Three. (Day 285)

[overworker]

Lino flowers are in bloom as the school year prepares to begin in a very big way. You’ve just finished organizing the last of the files you’d been asked to put together for a particularly special group of new students this year.

“Class VII… heehee. I hope you guys are ready. It’s not going to be easy. But I hope our test studies helped a little.” You look up at the clock and realize it’s almost time for the students to start arriving; quickly grabbing your books and heading out of the Student Council room. To the end of the hall, down the stairs and through the Cafeteria and you come to the entrance of the Student Union building. There’s a feeling of having made this trip back and forth many times; you can rush without incident.

Another student meets you at the front door. George is always punctual like that. He smiles, looking at you and the pile of work you’re taking with you-- “Ready to go?” He has his own set of tasks to help with, nonetheless you’re happy to be working with him.

“Yep! Everything’s all set. Let’s go welcome our bright-eyed new students!”

Students begin filing through the front gates wearing uniforms of white and green, all of whom you give simple directions to the opening ceremony. But the occasional student in red comes and when they do, you know each of their names. The last one to arrive is a boy with black hair.

“Welcome to Thors Military Academy! You’re… let’s see… yes, you’re the last of them! That’d make you Rean Schwarzer, right?” He introduces himself-- though he seems surprised that you know him, asking why. To which your response is a bit of laughter. “Heehee… it’s a long story. Don’t sweat the details right now.” You’re not surprised he’s confused but you can’t help him yet. He has to do this on his own. The boy with you explains that he has to take Rean’s weapon.

“The entrance ceremony is going to be held in the auditorium. Just head straight back-- you can’t miss it. Anyway, I hope you enjoy your first day at Thors!” Watching him go, you worry for him just a little bit. But you hope everything goes well and tell yourself that you’ll just have to do everything you can to help him get through this.
