''W...up...ke...Wake...Wake up!''
''Ah!?''
Seated with his eyes closed, Arya wakes up when someone shaking and calling him up. With his half-sleep state he open his eyes and seeing a beautiful girl... No, it's only Edward.
''Whuut... Ah, what is it?''
''It's already late!! I just want to go when someone said they are seeing a boy that sleeping soundly, when I went to see it as I don't see you anywhere, to think it's really you... How can you sleep with that posture? Anyway, the Ceremony was already over 20 minutes ago! Everyone is already going outside, are you going to stand there like a doll!?''
''Whoa... Hey, wait.. How can you say that while leaving me behind.''
When Arya listens to Edward, he wondered why his voice somehow starting to distant, when he look up, he already see his figure reaching the exit door.
'Damn... When did he reach that far...?'
*****
When they are reaching the crowd of student that standing while looking at the huge board in the park-like schoolyard, they keep yelling and blaming each other while having a hard breath.
''Hah... Hah... How dare you... Leaving me behind...!'' Arya glared at Edward while breathed heavily
''Hah... hah... Shut up... Hah.. It's your fault you fool!'' Edward glared at this unreasonable guy.
''Hah... Hah... How can you run that fast! ''
''It's your fault, how can you sleep like that!''
''Um....''
'''What...!!?'''
''Hiii....''
'''!!!'''
Because they keep arguing, they didn't notice their surroundings look at their direction with a puzzled expression, a girl approaching and trying to call them, but because their head still hot from the beginning their starting to yell at her. but realizing that the girl is someone they know, they just show a shocked expression.

''Oh, sorry Alicia, this idiot trouble me by sleeping this entire time'' Edward scowled while pointing his finger at Arya.
''...'' While Arya just blink his eyes and feign ignorance.
''Ahaha... It's fine, I just wonder where did both of you go? So, did you already looking for your class? If not, let's check on the board over there.''
Alicia just giggles and show them about the class board, it's seems that the first year will divided in 5 classes with 20 students each. They are starting to searching their own name and the class then they hear some student whispering to each other.
''Hey hey, they from Japan right?'' ''Uwah, they are beautiful.'' ''Isn't he so lucky..?'' ''Are they strong too?'' ''You stupid, did you see one of them holding wooden sword? I bet she is a martial artist.'' ''I wonder what weapon type they will choose..?''
The three of them exchanged glance and they found an 5 groups of people, 4 girls and 1 boy with black hair. Although one of the girls having long red hair that tied in a ponytail. Their group somehow attracting some student that making strange whisper here and there.
''Are Japanese people that popular? Why, I didn't know that?'' Arya tilted his head while folded his hand.
''You fools, of course they are popular because their idol and girl/boy band right..'' Edward replied with a smug in his face.
''Heh... I think it's because their Anime or Light Novel? Isn't it so popular around the world?'' Arya returned Edward smug with a snort.
''Ooh.... That's maybe true... Isn't that Light Novel that become hot topic right now?''
''Yes, but I think Web novel in internet is the best... Although I must wait some translator handling it.''

''What a pain, Light Novel is great you know. You just can buy online and you can spend your time in the bed!!''
''Why must I spent my money when I can read it free..''
''You fool, didn't you-''
''That's not it...!! Oh guys, please, they are not talking about that!! They are talking about the winner of the year..!! Hah.. Hah.. Hah..."
Arya and Edward startled and jumping slightly because Alicia somehow started to yell at them with her rare angry expression. They only meet this day, though. Maybe, its her true nature? To think she lost her calm and look irritated because they starting some strange conversation that jumping out of the road too far. She puffed her cheeks and glaring at them.
'Ahahaha... I just literally joking about that, but somehow I saying unneeded thing. But the angry Alicia is somehow looked cute.' Arya started to feel bad making Alicia who looked docile to be so angry, and decided to change the topic.
''Cough.. So, what about the winner?''
''Fools, how can you didn't know... It's because the Winner in three years was the Japanese people.''
''Yeah.. As Edward says, the winner with the highest 'Point' and total win match. With the win of Roaring Dragon, Japanese became more popular.'' Alicia said with sparkling eyes.
''Is that so..? Isn't another country having many fighters too?''
'Hmm... Doesn't Alicia start to talk more fluently?' Arya thought while staring at Alicia in surprise. Does she really become a fan of the winner of this year?
''This fools... I can't take it anymore... Ah, from now on I will call you 'Arfools'... '' Edward shake his head then nodded his head with serious face.
''Hey, what's with those names... I am not that stupid!!'' A vein can be seen popped on Arya head and he glare at Edward which he replied with snort.
"Hahahaha....'' Alicia giggled while covering her lip, she then tilted her head in wonder as Arya speaking as he didn't watch the All-of-War battle and ask him.
''Huh... So you didn't even see their last fight?''
''... No, I have something I must do. Even the previous battle I just know some of it..'' Arya said while laughing with 'Ahaha' only to receive a blank stare from Alicia and Edward.
''...''
''Yups.... As expected of Arfools, you really amaze me.'' Edward shrugs his shoulder and admit in defeat.
They start walking to leave the board and chatting with some jokes about what they saw. It's seems that their class is different, while Alicia and Edward in the class 1-B in the first floor, Arya in the class 1-E in the third floor. But because their class building is the same they walked together and keep chatting, sometimes Arya and Edward started teasing Alicia that makes her blush and chasing after the two. Whenever you see, they just look like long-time friend that meeting together after long time. Although they just one day knows each other,though.
