Back in the Riverside High School, Raine ignored the glances that his classmates threw at him as he had lunch with Yris, Arlen, and Vermeil who joined them. Raine can’t blame them, though, since the four of them are really a weird combination.Being classmates since middle high school, the sight of the pair Arlen and Yris is already common to the Margin Academy. Starting from when they first became friends to which the latter (Yris) was being bullied secretly, up to them becoming members of the student council, to which is an honored position in the school – well, for some who are serious and have a sense of responsibility because for other students, they only see the position of a student council member as a prestige. Fortunately, the student council adviser can’t be bribed by these arrogant students. So, the student council members are all responsible students.Anyway, the pair became a trio only last Friday when they saw Arlen and Yris invite Vermeil, who was sleeping up the tree t

Days passed by and Raine immediately adjusted to this new pace of his school life. As for the school, the Margin Academy is bigger than he thought. Even if he has wandered around it beforehand (before he enrolled), it is impossible for him to see its entirety before. But after attending the Margin Academy for more than a week, he finally could see its entirety.Why is it bigger than he thought… Well, for one, the school gymnasium is three to four times bigger than the Riverside High School’s gymnasium. The track and field could accommodate a commercial plane. The swimming pool is also comparable to that of the Olympics’ swimming pool. There is actually a golf course here, just beside a very beautiful lake with a forest. One could see that the Margin Academy is very high-class.Meanwhile, its quality of education is very good. Aside from the teachers’ high qualifications, they are also very attentive and considerate to the students unlike some teachers in the Riverside High School who

Night, dinnertime, Fonde residence.“Vermeil, what’s wrong?” Zedrick asked Vermeil as they ate their dinner. “You have been silent since earlier at school when we left for home.” He said, saying his observation of his younger brother.Vermeil stared at the food on his plate before he placed down his spoon and fork. “Brother.” He called.“Yes?” Zedrick answered as he continued to eat.“What is your impression of Raine?” Vermeil asked.“Gloomy.” Zedrick answered.A bad impression. Vermeil thought and pursed his lips as he lowered his gaze. He was about to resume eating when Zedrick spoke again.“But – “ Zedrick looked at his younger brother. “ – he is also good.” He said.Vermeil looked up. “’good’?” he muttered.“He is smart, and he is also a kind person.” Zedrick said.“What do you mean?” Vermeil asked.“I saw him lending another student money.” Zedrick answered. “Before, I also saw him helping a student who was crying.” He told Vermeil.Vermeil fell silent. He knows that Raine is goo

Raine looked at the armband that is pinned on the left sleeve of his uniform. His expression looked complicated while the teacher spoke on the podium beside them as she introduced him and Vermeil as the new disciplinary committee members. Even though she knows that no one takes the disciplinary committee seriously, she has to grit her teeth and speak about the disciplinary committee.But neither the students' nor Raine’s mind is on what the teacher is speaking. As Raine told Yris before, it was he who set up the tests for the disciplinary committee of Riverside High School. And his test to them is to fight against him. If they could land at least five punches on him, then Raine would accept them.But the Margin Academy, as he had expected, is truly different from Riverside High School. For one, the Margin Academy did not take the disciplinary committee seriously. Two, they almost don’t have a disciplinary committee at all because of that.In short, the disciplinary committee for them

Raine’s expression turned serious as he raised his guard. This direction… This is where he has seen that creature earlier! Thinking this, Raine’s pace increased and his heart thudded wildly the closer that he came to the place where he had seen that creature standing earlier! He then started to ponder. When I have reached it, what should I do? He thought, both feeling nervous and anticipating. After all, this would be the first time that he would fight against a supernatural creature. Punch it? Pummel it to the ground? He added. As long as he beats it up first before it could reach him, then he would have the upper hand. In fighting, speed is one of the basic skills that you should have, as it is also very important. It is only second in strength. “Here?” Raine muttered when he saw that the leaf shook even more when they were about to reach the place. His heart also is about to leap out of his throat as he clenched his other hand while his hand holding the leaf stiffened, afraid tha
