Kotaro's First Day - Chapter 1(CLOSED)

The leaves rustled and the wind blew as the sunlight of the bright sun appeared from beyond the horizon. A small boy could feel the wind blowing against the back of his neck as he shivered slightly opening his eyes. He had a small collar around his neck and a small note was tucked inside his small little windbreaker which sadly did not cover the back of the boy's neck, but at the very least kept the rest of his body warm in this somewhat windy morning.

As the small boy opened his eyes slowly taking in the light as it began to hurt his freshly opened eyes. Squinting he rubbed the dry scales out of his eyes as the boy looked around with a dazed look in his eyes. His hair was a bit messy with his hair pointing in every direction as he shook his head a bit causing it to settle. With his hair settled he began to look around and what he saw was strange, it was a land filled with trees of two strange shapes. He wished to know what they were simply out of curiosity, as he got up pressing his loose plain brown soft sneakers into the firm ground as he realized he had been sleeping upon a bench. A note slipped from the inside of his top and there was also one on the bench he was sleeping on. The note on the bench and the note on the floor left the poor boy with too many options.

He picked up the note on the floor first since he did not feel like bending down again. The boy tried to open the note, it would not budge so he tried ripping it open with all his strength and just when he was about to use his powers to rip this annoying note apart, he remembered the other note which happened to be open. He then began to read the note out loud in a soft voice that could never be broken, as he was alone speaking to himself would not hurt anyone.

"Kotaro, i know you have many questions for us"
"Right now you have been enrolled into the Foresta Academy, a place for gifted and special children like yourself"
"That note is meant for the teachers and staff at the academy, you may not understand what this all means"
"Though we expect that soon you will get along with everyone there, and learn everything you need to know"
"Who knows you might make some friends too"

"Have fun learning and not all humans are pathetic so be nice"

"PS : Remember to go to the nurses office before the end of the day with the note as well"

The boy glared at the note and then at the other note, he was a bit confused as to why he was there, but he knew that he should just go along with whatever they said for now. He needed to know more in order to rule the world some day as he looked up to the sky, the white fluffy mist in the sky was strange to him. He spent a few days inside a hospital after being found, so this was the first time he got a chance to really look at the sky. Even though he did not know what the sky was, he knew that it was nice to look at.

He then felt a bit anxious and nervous as he realized how alone he was and then also began to panic deep down inside as he got annoyed and focusing his mana into his foot kicked the one bench breaking it in half. He did not know which way to go and was now inside a weird academy all by himself.
"What were those pathetic humans thinking" is what he thought to himself

Will was walking through the courtyard with his hands in his jacket pockets, but stopped immediately as he heard the sound of wood snapping. It made him jump, but quickly relaxed. He turned to where he heard the sound coming from and rested his eyes on the boy standing there. Will felt a strange energy coming from the boy, and energy he had never felt before, and decided that he was interesting.

He slowly began to approach the boy, but quickly stopped in his tracks. He realized that this energy he was feeling was completely foreign. It worried him. He stood there, with his hands in his pockets, and called out to him. "Hey!" he yelled. "Who are you?" He fidgeted with the dragon tooth necklace around his neck.

The small boy was annoyed to a great degree, but it was the voice of a stranger that awoke him from his depressive state of mind. With a loud hey he was startled slightly as he turned his head slowly towards the voice of the man. He looked at the weird guy and noticed the strange necklace, he felt like he wanted to have one too. He shook his head as he remembered hearing the guy ask who he was then he looked down as he was still rather anxious and said softly.

"I am Kotaro", he just looked down for a while before looking up slowly his eyes appeared as if they might begin to shed tears. It was mostly due to just having been awoken by the light of the sun, as the wind blew through his hair as it hit against the sides of his face and covered over a portion of his eyes. He was not sure who this weird guy was but he had this strange feeling of comfort from no longer being alone out here. As he wanted to ask where the nurses office was and to find out what his suppose to do now.

There was a small tag attached to the collar around his neck which he had not seen, the tag simply had some basic details which could be read from a certain distance, whether someone read them or not was unclear, but this is what was written on the tag.

"Name : Kotaro "
"Status : Student"
"Dorm : Serpens"

Will began approaching the boy again, realizing that this energy was not hostile. In fact, his energy began to feel almost friendly. A smile appeared on his face. "Hello there, Kotaro," he said. "My name is William, but you can just call me Will. Hey, do you know your way around here? I'm new, and I have no idea where I'm going."

Will spotted the papers that Kotaro had with him, and his curiosity kicked in. "What are those papers?" he asked.

The strange man greeted him in a way that made him nearly feel like this human was looking down on him. How ever the truth was that when you thought about it he literally was looking down at a small boy who was going to begin attending the academy alongside this man who he knew nothing about.

The man had a name, and that name was William. The small boy listened as he was told to call the man Will. The man asked him if he knew where to go and said he had no idea where he was going. He felt like he was wasting a lot of time standing here as he looked the the broken bench and then back to the man. Then he looked back to the bench and once again back to the man as he finally realized the man had asked him what papers he was keeping.

The boy got a bit worried and clutched the papers tightly to his chest. The one note was for him and the other note was for the academy. Was this man a thief perhaps as he began to glare at the guy as if he said something horrible. The small boy Kotaro also noticed the necklace, the strange tooth did not look normal as he looked at it with awe and wonder. Alternating between a defensive glare and a look of wonder not sure which was more important right now.

While Will was waiting for Kotaro's response, he took the time to observe the boy. He seemed to be confused, lost even, looking back and forth between and him the broken bench. It was then that Will realized something: "Who had broken that bench?"  he thought. "Was it this boy?" He decided not to ask Kotaro, as he seemed to have enough on his mind already.

Suddenly, the boy held the papers to his chest. His expression switched back and forth between anger and what seemed like wonder. Will realized that the boy was looking at his necklace. He rubbed it with his index finger and thumb. "Eyeing my necklace, eh?" Will asked. "You like it?"

All of a sudden, paranoia took over. A troubled expression appeared on Will's face. "Is he intending to steal my necklace?" he thought. Protective of his precious dragon tooth, his body tensed.

The man seemed to notice the boy notice his necklace as he kept up his guard, feeling really threatened not in a danger to himself sense. He felt a threat to what belonged to him and what belonged to someone else, it was not to be given to strangers as he asked the boy if he liked the necklace. It was interesting but he did not really like it as he gave a quick shake of his small little head as the hair flung from left to right and right to left in a flicker like motion.

Then without reason the man's expression changed as the man did not seem to give away anything as he looked to the man and then looked down. Then he came to a realization he had long since forgotten about. He looked to the man with a confused look on his face almost as if he was worried.

"Nurse office?"

He had nearly forgotten and he just needed to know which direction it was as he stood their still holding his notes tightly as he began to step back from the guy. He was uncertain of whether he could trust this weird guy with the strange tooth necklace. It was a rather large tooth though, but he had more important things then teeth right now.

The question caught Will off guard, as it had come out of nowhere, but Will smiled. He quickly realized that this wasn't the type of boy that would be a thief. He was too timid, which was shown in the way he acted. Will put his hands back into his jacket pockets, relaxing a little bit again. He shrugged. "Like I said, I'm new here," Will replied.

He gestured to the other direction. "Hey, maybe I can help you find it," Will said. "After all, we could talk a little more and it'll help both of us find our way around the Academy."

Will began walking, expecting Kotaro to follow. A little part of him, though, didn't want the boy to follow. Will got a bad feeling from the boy, even though he didn't seem to be any type of threat. It was clear to Will that he wasn't a human. No human had ever made Will feel the sense of dread he was feeling now. The boy's gaze sent a chill down his spine. Will was receiving mixed feelings.

The small boy watched the strange and weird guy put hands inside his pockets as he seemed to relax a bit. The boy found this to seem a bit strange since it was not that cold that you needed hands inside your pockets. Even though the boy got another shiver as the cold chilly wind hit the back of his neck he did not see it as a big problem. The guy made a weird gesture as he tilted his head a bit confused at what he would later learn was a shrug.

The guy was apparently new here so he was not sure what that had to do with anything, he asked where the nurse office was not how old he is. Then the strange guy gestured again and said that he might be able to find the place for the boy

The boy followed closely behind the strange guy, but kept a distance of around three feet not daring to move any closer as he kept a close eye on the guys back and began to wonder why these human's were all so huge. He began to wonder if this guy was a human to begin with or a small one of those White Giants. The name he had once upon a time given the scientists and doctors who experimented on him in the past.

(I don't know how to continue this. Could we go on to the nurse's office?)
