"Dad..."
"Daddy..."
"Daddy!!!"
...
Kaiser jerked awake from the strange dream, feeling a sense of nostalgia and sadness.
"Who is that girl?"
He thought when he realized that the voice in his dream was feminine.
'Whatever'
Standing up from the bed, he went into the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. Staring at his own reflection, memories of how he got to this point flashed before his eyes.
'I'm out of his reach now' he thought.
Calling upon the runes, the blue hologram appeared in his vision.

With a sigh, he dried his hair, feeling restricted yet free.
...
The class was half full in the morning when three unknown students of the Second year barged in quite rudely. They assessed the class with a disdainful gaze before one of them spoke up.
"So these are the new Class-D?"
Another one smirked, "They are more shitty than the previous ones"
Liam, feeling aggrieved rose up from his seat and faced them.
"Sorry for being rude but you badmouthing our class is unacceptable"
"Huh?" A senior with spiky yellow hair said with a stunned look.
The other senior looked amused but said nothing while the last one, who had said nothing moved directly before the class.
"You must be new, so you don't know how the school runs. It's not the school for the rich, it's for the smart. If you're dull, you're useless" He said with an amicable smile on his face, though the scar running down his face ruined it.
"In a month, you'll be entering the Nirad Realm to Awaken. I wish you best of luck. See those that survive later"
Saying that, he made his way towards the door only to stop a step from leaving. Looking at the class again, he realized everyone was looking at him with various emotions. Some rage, some amusement, confusion, irrigation and some calmness. Everyone except one boy with unremarkable features. The boy seemed even unaware of his presence in the class as he was concentrated on a book in his hands.
Feeling annoyed, the senior uncorked a pen and flinged it with chilling accuracy towards the boy's head.
To his utter shock, the boy calmly tilted his head, dodging the pen as it embedded itself in the wall.
'H-how?'
For once, the boy, Kaiser never raised his head from the book to glance at his attacker.
'Looks like I have underestimated these gremlins'
With a cold smile, he left the class, leaving behind a group of confused fresher's.
Hazel's calm gaze rippled as she turned her head away from the door to the pen embedded in the wall behind Kaiser.
'This guy' She thought 'Is he stronger than me?'
No, it wasn't possible. Though, during the evaluation it seemed like he had been the one with the best results, she hadn't given it her all too.
"No comment?" She asked without looking at him.
At first, he seemed to ignore her for a few seconds until he spoke.
"No"
"Guessed so" She replied. "But their information is quite unnerving, isn't it?"
"It is" He said as he closed the book. Raising his head, he calmly regarded the murmurs around him before closing his eyes.
"Though, that's not the main point is it?" He added.
Hazel, satisfied, finally turned her brown eyes towards him. "Why didn't you react?"
"It's too much of a hassle"
Kai's blunt reply left her mind reeling in shock.
'A-a hassle? Does that mean he has no urge to retaliate?' She thought.
"So you're the lazy type" She realized.
"If necessary" Kai added.
Sigh.
Hazel was starting to feel exasperated when someone approached them.
Kai paused slightly, contemplating whether to disregard or regard the presence of the new person.
Finally, he looked up at the girl with blonde hair and green eyes. Her eyes held an unnerving depth as she smiled at the two of them.
"Hi, I'm Isabella Wayne"
