《Different》Chapter 23 - The Head Master
Advertisement
The door to the head master's office opened up. The tall bald man stepped aside so Soro could enter. He then proceeded to close the door and stand in front of the door, as if he were guarding it. The head teacher was sitting down on a sofa. She turned around to look at Soro as she smiled.
"Ah, you're here"
Soro's body became stiff. He had seen enough action movies to recognize the seductive evil female character when he see's them.
"You wanted to see me ?"
"Of course. Come take a seat"
Soro walked over and sat down on another sofa opposite her. The head master smiled once again.
"I believe I haven't introduced my self yet"
She held her hand out to Soro.
"My name is Akira Konabae. I am the head master of this new academy"
Soro shook her hand.
["So she's the one who found me that night"]
"It's nice to meet you miss Akira"
"The feelings mutual"
She grabbed a jar of orange juice and started pouring it on to a cup.
"Want some ?"
Soro shook his head.
"No thanks"
She crossed her legs as she took a sip from the cup. Soro was starting to become impatient. She had asked to see him in advance, and yet she wasn't getting to the point as to why this was.
"You must have some questions on your mind. I'll answer them soon enough but first answer me this"
Soro's hands began sweating from the pressure in the room.
"What...?"
"On your application you put your ability down as teleportation. Why is that ?"
["Did she see the video of the fight scene ? Or is it that she knows something about my actual ability ?"]
"Sorry, I don't understand what you mean"
"I mean your ability is far more than just a simple teleportation. Am I wrong ?"

["So she already knows"]
"No you're not wrong. The reason I put teleportation down as my ability is because that's the only part of my ability I understand"
"I see....interesting"
Soro glared at her.
["Now It's my turn"]
"May I ask you a question now ?"
She placed the cup back on to the table.
"Sure"
"How did you find me that night ?"
"I'm sorry ?"
"The night of the fall"
"Ah. I was searching for something during that night, and I just happened to find you completely out cold on the ground, and just like any regular person would, I called the ambulance"
["I can't tell if she is lying or not"]
"What were you looking for ?"
"I'm not allowed to say"
["She's definitely hiding something"]
"Another question. Do you know what my ability is ?"
"I wish I could assist you in understanding your ability. However I have no prior knowledge of abilities and how they work other than what's told on the news"
["That's definitely got to be a lie. She is the head master of a school for people with abilities and yet she said she doesn't know a lot about abilities. That makes no sense"]
Akira turned her head to look at a clock hanging on the wall.
"Oh dear, It seems our time is up. I have an urgent meeting I must attend. Let's continue this conversation later"
Soro slightly gritted his teeth.
["So she was stalling this entire time ? What about the reason why she called to see me ? There's no way it was just to ask about my ability"]
The tall bald man guarding the door turned around to open it. Akira smiled as Soro walked out of the room.
"Good luck on the entry exams"
Soro immediately turned around in surprise.

["Entry exams !?"]
The door had already been shut tight at that same moment.
["What did she mean by that ? I never got told there were entry exams. This is bad..."]
A suited man opened a door behind Soro.
"Allow me to take you to your dorm sir"
Soro turned around.
"Okay..."
They exited the building and walked to another large building nearby. The suited man handed Soro 2 keys.
"This first one is for you to open the main door of the building. The second is the key to the room where you will be staying. If you need anything there's a phone you can use in your room to contact staff members"
["What did she mean by the entry exams ? If there really are entry exams then does that mean I won't get in the academy if I fail it ? That man Kosuke never said anything about this"]
Soro took both of the keys and entered the building. He went upstairs to the block he was staying.
["Here it is B16. I guess my room is across this door"]
He unlocked the door with his key and opened it only to find a unique surprise waiting for him. A familiar someone sitting down on one of the two beds whilst reading one of the guides to the academy, and no it wasn't Akame. Soro stood there in total shock.
["My room mate is him............?"]
It was Toumo, the blonde man from before who tried to pierce through Soro with his ability. The first person to trigger Soro's teleportation ability by putting him in a life or death situation.
Toumo was alerted by the sound of the door opening and looked up to see who came in. He spotted Soro standing in front of him.
"You...."

The Czarina's Buccaneer
RELEASES EVERY MONDAY AT 18:30 CST ----- After suffering the torments of slavery, the destruction of his nation, and the massacre of his band of brothers, Rodion Kazansky craves revenge and yearns for the freedom owed to him as a proud Cossack. A lost horse and a chance meeting with the Catherine the Great set him off on a journey that will take him from the steppes of the Crimea to the beaches of the Gold Coast of Africa and back again. There he will face British slavers, pirates, and the ghosts of his past to become the bane of his enemies as the Czarina's Buccaneer. ----- DISCLAIMER: This novel acknowledges the fact that the Cossacks, and the Ukrainian people by extension, are unique and not simply a "different variety of Russians." The main character views the Russians as "moskal foreigners" and does not see himself as one. This also acknowledges the fact that the czarina deprived many of the Cossacks of their freedom, something that the main character resents.
