The End And The Beginning Of My Journeys In Time!
Episode 4.
They slowly walked to a building.
Ryu.
This is the Art institution. I'll take you to Jasmine Class.
They walked in an elevator and took them to the fourth floor.
Yue.
Which class are you in?
He pops out a paper, opens it and his next class was Jasmine.
Ryu.
What are the odds. We're in the same class.
Yue.
I know you now. So it won't be so boring with someone I know.
Makito.
Right on time Gushiken. *pleased*
Makito.
Oh. You have Raiden with you. *scowls*
Ryu.
Took her for a tour. Rachel instructions.
Makito.
Okay. Go have a seat. You too Raiden.
Namie.
Heya Kazu. What are the odds! We're in the same class, again!
Yue.
Huh? Oh yeah. Hey Namie.
Namie.
You didn't die. Thank goodness.
Namie.
Nevermind me.*gleam*
Makito.
Now that you've all settled down. Let's start the class.
Makito.
Art is a diverse range of human activity,and resulting product, that involves creative or imaginative talent expressive of technical proficiency, beauty, emotional power, or conceptual ideas.
Makito.
The three classical branches of visual art are painting, sculpture and architecture.
Namie.
He's asleep.... again. Can't say I'm surprised. *sigh*
Namie.
So Kazu, do you know how to paint?
Namie.
Yeah. I know how to.
Yue.
I think I do. It's been a few months before I touched a brush.
Namie.
You'll be fine. I'll watch over you.
Makito.
One of the famous painters of flowers was Georgia Totto O' Keeffe. She was an American modernist artist. She was known for her paintings of enlarged flowers, New York skyscrapers and New Mexico landscapes.
Makito.
Another one of those people are Claude Monet. He was a famous French artist of the 19th century. His painting entitled Impression,Sunrise gave the name to the revolutionary impressionism art movement.
Makito.
And so, today. We shall paint flowers. You can paint any flower that you fancy. It should be striking from a distance. Should be done with the outmost diligence. *stern*
Yue.
Ryu. Ryu..... wake up. It's painting time.
Namie.
It's time for an activity you baka!
Ryu.
Don't call me an idiot.
Makito.
The paints, brushes, boards, everything you need is right there. You have fifteen minutes to do your painting. Start.... now!
Yue.
What should I paint?......
Namie.
I'm painting a cherry blossom tree.
Namie.
No one asked you iceberg. *humph*
Namie.
Okay...... let's start.
Namie started painting slowly. Instead of putting the board on the stand, she put on the floor, sat down cross legged and started painting.
Makito.
Hanabusa! What do you think you're doing on the floor! *scowl*
Makito.
Your boorish acts will contaminate the rest of the students. Stand up.
Namie.
Thanks but no thanks. I'm more comfortable here than there.
Makito.
Five minutes remaining children.
Namie.
I'm halfway through.
Namie.
Hey Kazu. What are you doing by the window? Quit staring outside and start your painting.
Yue.
Five minutes remaining?! I should get started soon.
She takes six cans of paint, some cotton and other stuff.
Namie.
Who do you think I am talking to! Yeah you!
Ryu.
*picks up brush and paints*
Makito.
Time is up. Stop. I'm coming to inspect your painting.
Makito.
Kanji, you should focus on the petals more. Soma,focus on the middle of the sunflower rather than the outside,it looks sloppy.
Makito.
Akito,your work is good but not striking.
She went by the seventeen students of Jasmine Class and none of the paintings pleased her.
Makito.
Let's see yours Hanabusa.
Namie.
Here! How'd you like that! *gleam*
Makito.
My word. It's beautiful. *pleased*
Makito.
As expected from the one of the heirs of the Hanabusa family.
Makito.
Gushiken. I presume you have something lovely to present to me....
Ryu.
There. Name, The Fall of Spring.
Makito.
So.... eccentric. Beautiful and warm, yet cold and distant. I applaud your diligence and creativity.
Makito.
Ms. Raiden. What do you have to show the class?
Makito.
Did you even paint?! I have had enough of you. I shall take you to the Director soon.
Yue.
But I did do it. *bored outta her mind*
Taki Jintan.
A five year old can do this? I'm appalled. *shocked*
Makito.
Oh my. Director! *shocked*
Taki Jintan.
Whatever is the matter Makito?
Makito.
My apologies. You just startled me is all. May I ask why you're visiting my class?
Taki Jintan.
No apparent reason for coming by to check the progress of my forthcoming prodigies.
Taki Jintan.
So who painted these?
Makito.
This one is for Namie Hanabusa.
Taki Jintan.
Wonderful. Wonderful indeed.
Namie.
Thank you Mr. Jintan. *smile*
Makito.
This one is for none other than Ryuunosuke Gushiken. *pleased*
Taki Jintan.
And that one over there? That sublime one. Really striking indeed. Who did this ? Stand up if you will. *pleased*
Yue.
I am the owner of that painting Mr. Jintan.
Taki Jintan.
Oh! It's you Yue. So your in Jasmine Class. As expected.
Taki Jintan.
I'm not surprised that not only you're good in History but also your a prodigy in Art. Good. Really good. *pleased*
Yue.
You have my thanks Mr. Jintan. *smiles*
Makito.
Anyway Director. Class is almost up.
Taki Jintan.
Oh yes. Yue. I need you to come with me. You don't mind me borrowing her for a while do you?
Makito.
No no no. I don't mind. Take all the time you need Director. *nervous*
Taki Jintan.
Okay. Yue. Come with me.
Namie.
Hey Kazu, what'd you do? *whisper*
Namie.
Maybe MM tattled on you. *whisper*
Yue.
I'll tell you everything later. Bya.
They walk outside the Art institution.
Taki Jintan.
Do you know which institution this is?
Yue.
What do you mean? I don't follow. My apologies.
Taki Jintan.
It's fine. Chaldea Academy is home to a special type of breed of people.
Taki Jintan.
I mean. We're different. Think of us as having superpowers. Something of the sort.
Yue.
So. What is this school about?
Taki Jintan.
It has everything you can imagine. Vampires, Werewolves, lycans. This school is on a supernatural level. Like fictional.
Taki Jintan.
Take that girl for example.
The look at a school girl walking.
Taki Jintan.
*pats Yue's head.*
Yue.
*sees that the girl is actually an elf*
Taki Jintan.
Yes. That girl is an elf.
Taki Jintan.
You're taking this in better than I thought you would.
Taki Jintan.
Don't walk around alone. Alright?
Taki Jintan.
Ryu is coming to take you back. I have to go now.
Yue.
*walks down the road*
Yue.
So this place is full of people with powers?! Cool! It's like the Irregular at Magic High School! *squeals*
A rabid werewolf comes out of nowhere and starts chasing her.
Yue.
*huffs* I have to run!
Yue runs down the road and the more she ran the more the werewolf came nearer.
Yue.
I don't wanna die yet. Not like this. *nervous*
Suddenly! Yue hears a metal being clamped upon.
She looks behind and sees that the wolf has been cleanly cut.
Yue.
*huffs* What the hell?
Yue.
What does that mean? Who are you?!
Xing.
Heaven's Gate made him like this. *cold*
The boy takes her by the hand and a moment later, they're at the reception.
Receptionist.(Rachel)
Oh my goodness Yue! What happened? *nervous*
Yue.
A wolf. It chase me. This boy save me. I don like this. *nervous*
Receptionist.(Rachel)
Boy? Who?
Yue.
He's right..... here.
By the time she realizes, the boy is gone.
Yue.
It was a boy! A boy in black and white gloves. I saw him! He saved me!
Receptionist.(Rachel)
Okay okay. I believe you. Just calm down first.
Yue.
I'm okay now Rachel. My day has been hectic.
Receptionist.(Rachel)
Thought so. So. Did the Director tell you what's up?
Yue.
Yeah..... I wouldn't have guessed. But I'm human. I don't fit in.
Receptionist.(Rachel)
You were brought here for a reason. And don't worry. There are humans here too.
Yue.
Okay. Then what are you?
Receptionist.(Rachel)
I'm a ghoul.
Receptionist.(Rachel)
*chuckles* Wait here. I'm going to talk to the Director for a minute.
Rachel went by the Director's office, knocked twice then went in.
Taki Jintan.
What is it Rachel.
Receptionist.(Rachel)
There's this look you've been having since Yue's first visit. What is it?
Taki Jintan.
*heavy sigh* You know her name correct?
Receptionist.(Rachel)
Yes. Her name is Yue Kazuya Raiden.
Receptionist.(Rachel)
What about it?
Taki Jintan.
What does her surname remind you of?
Receptionist.(Rachel)
Lemme think. Akise and Akira..... Wait! You wouldn't mean....
Taki Jintan.
Yes. Akise and Akira Raiden are that girl's relatives. Unfortunately.
Receptionist.(Rachel)
What?! That's impossible.
Taki Jintan.
It is Rachel. Get real. She's here. Higher-ups say Akira will pass by here soon. We should get prepared.
Receptionist.(Rachel)
Yes. Indeed we shall.
Receptionist.(Rachel)
But I'm still surprised. Those people are that innocent girl's relatives? Does she know about them? What they do?
Taki Jintan.
Better not to delve too much into it. Or you die. Please Rachel. Those people are practically ruthless. Don't do anything stupid.
Receptionist.(Rachel)
Of course Director. If you'll excuse me.
Receptionist.(Rachel)
What is this about? Sorry Director but I have to find out.... for Yue's sake.
