Aira’s eyes twitched and stung when they came into contact with the light from the sun that entered her room from the window. All it really took was one look at her wall clock for her to shake the early morning drowsiness away.
When she finally looked up, her schedule, almost too voluntary, immediately flashed in the back of her head.
Training Class. Right.
And with a swift pull of her blanket off of her body and muscles still asleep, she exerted into a tiny morning routine of stretches before she headed to the shower where the warm water hit her to take a little stroll down dreamworld lane where Aira started to sink into her deep thoughts.
She distinctively remembered the people she had encountered last night and all that she’d seen that had something to do with their headmaster. Her curiosity only began to rise with so many questions popping up. What exactly is going on with the headmaster? Who were those people with him? Moreover, her guts just couldn’t stop punching her on how urgent it may have seemed. Could it be… dangerous?
Aira knew that these thoughts would only have to be saved for later. She wasn’t the only witness - dealing with something as shady as this alone is definitely not a positive option. In any cases, training classes were calling.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Aira deeply inhaled the fresh air when she finally set foot in Roxgeo forest where it was already crowded with students. And in the middle of the crowd, she could easily spot Dr. Allison Roy interacting with others awhile displaying a visible hologram, lined with pictures of students.
It then struck Aira how this training class included having partners. She made her way closer to the hologram while glancing around to already see students interacting with one another. At one point, she was able to spot the glitter girl, Yunnie, shyly exchanging convos with a curly-haired young man who looked quite taller than her. And on the other side of the forest, she found Dav, shaking hands with… with a robot? Aira’s blinked a few times, witnessing the exchange. She was left in amusement, finally seeing what looked like a cyborg in real life. This only made Aira more excited to know who she would be paired up with! Another robot? Another witch perhaps?!
As she came closer to the hologram, her eyes scanned along the faces of students completely unfamiliar to her until she finally found her name and face. And right next to her picture was her assigned partner; a completely unknown female student with dark brown hair, appearing quite… normal. Aira paused for a few seconds, eyes locked at the picture of her partner as she felt a little piece of her soul sink.
“Well…she shouldn’t be so bad,” Aira muttered to herself. Taking a mental note of her facial appearance, Aira ventured off around the forest to search for “Morrigan Dorval”.
There were so many students, and the search was pretty rough. Luckily the training hasn’t started yet. But after what felt like a while, she was able to spot out a young-looking lady with long dark brown hair entering the forest. Aira felt her soul do a little victory dance - she was certain that it was her.
Once Aira found her looking quite lost, she took the opportunity to take a deep breath before approaching her with a single touch on her shoulder.
“H-Hey.” Once Aira signaled her presence to her, she strangely felt her hand go cold, as if she was touching an ice pack that was taken out of the freezer a couple of hours ago, but the chill was still there. But trying her best to give away a calm first impression, Aira simply took her hand back, as long as she was able to catch her partner’s attention.
“U-Uhh, do you happen to be Morrigan? M-Morrigan Dorval?” Aira asked her, trying not to sound too sudden.
As Aira waited for a confirmation from the girl, she shed a warm smile and extended her hand out for the other girl to shake or hold as a sign of peace between two new comrades.
“I’m Aira, by the way! It’s nice to meet you.”In the next moment, Aira wasn’t sure if it was just her or if the air around her, or them, suddenly got a bit chilly.
