["She must know about how I got my abilities, maybe she even knows how I can use them"]
As Soro began to space off he bumped into a short female student with cyan hair. She fell on her back and dropped a book she was holding. Soro reached his hand out to help her get up.
"I'm sorry about that"
"No no no, you don't have to apologize, I wasn't paying much attention to where I was going"
["I wasn't either"]
She got up from the ground and slightly bowed her head.
"Sorry for the inconvenience mister......"
"Soro"
"Ah, right.... I'll be on my way then"
She walked passed him having completely left the book she dropped on the floor. Soro glanced at it. The book was titled Mechatronics and had plenty of scribbles on the front cover, almost as if she was just using it as a sketchbook.
"Hey wait a minute !"
She jolted her back straight in surprise and turned around.
"Y-y-yes...?"
Soro pointed at the book laying on the ground. She quickly jumped to grab it. Her face was completely flushed.
[["This is so embarrassing, he probably thinks i'm some sort of nerd now"]]
She bowed her head to him once again.
"Thank you"
Soro smiled.
"No problem. By the way I never got your name"
"Ah right...it's Rika"
"Nice to meet you Rika"
"Mmm"
She turned around once again and walked off.
["That was an unexpected encounter. Anyways I have to go tell Yugo i'm leaving tomorrow"]
Soro went to the classroom Yugo was in and spotted him sitting down on one of the tables reading as usual. He quietly crawled in front of Yugo.
"Boo!"
"..."
Yugo was completely speechless.
"So did you find out when you're leaving ?"
"Yes, tomorrow"

Yugo's face expression was of utter shock.
"That soon ?"
"Yea, I was surprised too"
"I see...it's a shame we couldn't hang out a little longer"
Soro scratched the back of his head.
"Yeah....when was the last time we did something together anyway ? it feels like it's been years"
"4 months, 2 days and 19 hours"
Soro's tilted his head.
"Is there anything you don't count ?"
"Yes, the amount of times you've done something weird, like a while ago for instance"
"Okay......."
The school bell began to ring. The time was now 3:00 PM, meaning that students were free to leave the school. Yugo grabbed his bag from under the table and placed his book inside it.
"Well, I guess I wont be seeing you for a while then huh ?"
"I guess so"
"Send letters. I don't like reading text messages"
Soro chuckled.
"Will do"
They both firmly gripped each others hand and shook it. Yugo grinned.
"Don't be late to your journey like you were on the trip"
"Yea yea"
"I'm gonna head out now"
Yugo left the classroom.
["Would it have been weird if I asked for a hug ? .....probably. With that aside I should probably head home as soon as possible. I need to pack my bags after-all "
~~Henka Forest, 4:21 PM~~
The hole that remained on the road began to crumble open. An entire arm pierced it's way through the rocks. Someone was literally clawing their way out of the hole. Soon later his other arm managed to pierce through the ground. He gripped onto a large rock near him and pulled him self out of the hole. The strange man looked up at the sky and cracked his neck.
"Ah shit, where am I this time ?"
A purple aura started coming out of his feet. His entire body began levitating in mid-air.

"Time to look around"
A large wave of wind burst out of nowhere. Trees were pulled out of their roots and launched onto the sky. And the hole where the man had come from was now a large pitfall that was 30 meters deep.
~~Soro's House, 4:46 PM~~
Soro held up an old dusted shirt in the air.
"Yikes, how long has this been under my bed for"
He chucked it away towards the door carelessly. At the very same time Takimi opened the door.
"Hey Soro you forgo-"
The shirt landed on her face.
"WHAT THE HELL !?!"
She grabbed it and threw it back at Soro.
"Hey! what are you doing ?"
"I COULD ASK YOU THE SAME QUESTION"
"I'm packing up my things"
"YOU DON'T SAY ?"
"You asked me though"
"Ugh! Anyways you forgot to take your credit card with you"
She reached into her pocket and took out a card.
Soro turned around.
"Oh that.....keep it"
"What do you mean keep it ? You need it for your living expenses there don't you ?"
"Ah, about that. The head teacher said he would pay for everything"
Takimi jolted forward.
"What !? No way !"
"I was shocked too"
She placed her hand on her chin as if she were thinking.
"Why would he do that though ? I heard he was a really strict and private person"
"Yea well....that's all rumors"
"So I can keep the card ?"
"If you want, just don't go on a shopping spree"
She jumped up and held the card in the air with excitement.
"Heck yeah!"
Sweat started dripping from Soro's face.
["I'm gonna regret this aren't I ?"]
After an hour Soro had finally finished packing up his bags. He brushed his hands as he deeply exhaled from all the fatigue.
["That's the last of them I think"]
He leaped on to his bed and stretched out his arms and legs.
["So I'm leaving tomorrow huh. I'm gonna miss this place"]
~~New World Academy, 9:20 PM~~
A formal man wearing a black suit and tie walked inside a large office with the lights off. He glanced at a woman looking out the window.
"He is coming tomorrow ma'am. Should I begin making arrangements"
"Yes"
"Very well then"
The man quietly walked out of the room. The woman looked up at the full moon that was glowing in the sky. She began smiling.
"So we'll be meeting tomorrow huh......Soro Matako"

Their grand armies have been crushed, cities conquered. Nothing stands between a sweeping Nek'var victory but the battered remnants of a mauled fleet. If they fall, the galaxy falls with them.
