Ethan woke up early in the morning and headed straight to the meeting place.
There, he found a girl with cold features. Her skin was pale, her hair was white, and a gray sword hung at her waist—shaped like a samurai blade.
But the weapon radiated a powerful aura, as if it was begging her to unsheathe it.
"Good morning, Mia. Did you sleep well?"
Ethan asked with a mix of sleepiness and playful mischief on his face.
Mia ignored him, turned around, and began walking slowly toward the academy.
"She really doesn't have a sense of humor,"
Ethan muttered as he caught up and walked beside her.
They started their way to the academy. After half an hour of walking, Ethan sighed.
"Is this what you call close?"
He said, not tired but obviously bored. He even considered using Kamwe to arrive faster, but curiosity made him want to see more of the city. In the end, though, he was still bored.
"This is close enough for me,"
Mia replied in her usual cold tone.
"Tsk… fine,"
Ethan rolled his eyes.
When they finally reached the academy, the gate stood tall—slightly smaller than the city's main gate, but still impressive. Guards were stationed there.
"Welcome back, Mia. Who's this boy?"
One of the guards asked as they approached.
"He's my friend,"
Mia answered in her icy tone before heading inside. Ethan followed closely behind.
Inside, a large square stretched out before them, its floor paved with luxurious tiles. Many people in red uniforms decorated with golden lines filled the place. Each bore a small crescent logo on their chest.
"This is the Academy? Not bad. I've never seen one before, anyway,"
Ethan remarked.
"Follow me. And don't say a word,"
Mia snapped back coldly.
{Tch… this girl is getting on my nerves},
Ethan thought as they entered a larger arena. The floor was made of solid tiles, and Ethan could feel their hardness beneath his feet.
"Draw your sword—or Zanpakutō, or whatever it is,"
Mia ordered, turning to face him with her frosty stare.
"Why?"
"Do you think I can enroll you without knowing if you're truly strong?"
"All right then. But aren't you going to take out your sword?"
Ethan asked as he drew his Zanpakutō.
" No "
She said this while staring at the Zanpakto,
The blade shone with a dazzling white light—anyone who laid eyes on it would be impressed.
{What a magnificent sword},
Mia thought to herself.
"So, let's begin,"
she said. But in that instant, she felt a chilling presence at her neck.
Cold sweat ran down her back as she looked down—only to find Ethan, who had been standing dozens of meters away just moments ago, now right in front of her with his blade pointed at her throat.
"Sorry, a bit of killing intent leaked out. I'm not that good at controlling it yet,"
Ethan said as he calmly sheathed his sword.
After all, he had only recently acquired this ability.
"Your speed was incredible,"
a voice said. Someone had been watching his exchange with Mia.
"Shut up, Carl!"
Mia snapped angrily, breaking out of her shock.
"Sorry, Mia. I didn't mean to offend,"
Carl replied as he walked toward Ethan.
"Welcome to Moonlight Academy,"
he said warmly, extending his hand.
Ethan shook it, but in that brief moment, he caught a faint trace of killing intent. Focusing on Carl's face, he realized it was fake—a disguise. This man clearly had some grudge against the academy.
After all, nothing escapes the Sharingan. And combining it with Kenbunshoku made it impossible to hide.
{Well, I don't intend to meddle in this},
Ethan thought. He was no saint, not since he had awakened his killing intent. He didn't care about everyone—but he could at least warn Mia if things got bad.
"Okay, Ethan. Let's go to the dean to get you enrolled,"
Mia said.
"Fine,"
Ethan replied, following her. He shot Carl one last look of suspicion before walking away.
{Did he see through my disguise? I hope not. I don't want to kill a child},
Carl thought.
{Still… those eyes of his are strange.}
