《Yama》7 - Scabiosa School Part 3
Advertisement
I'm Hikari Yama, 16 years old. Completed my first day at Scabiosa School. More like a preparation class. I'm not officially a student here nor that I want to...
Such an uneventful first day... I'm glad it is like that. We get to know the basics of chevaliers. Not that we don't know about it before. I'm confident everyone has already been taught about it since we were a kid. Judicium Satus... Exorior... Requiem...
It's not my fault for sleeping through all the explanations. Maybe I can keep my focus on physical class better.
"Where are you going Yama? Our house is this way."
Yua is holding a tip of a uniform on my shoulder after she saw me going the wrong way. In her view that is. I'm not planning to go home now anyway.
"I got things to do, can you tell mom I'll come back a bit late?"
"Oh, I see... Okay then. Do you want me to accompany you?" she asked me for confirmation.
"No need to. You should rest at home."

This is a fence behind the school. Not so height, not so low. An average school fence of about six feet in height. How many times have I done it? About a week... Then six or seven. I don't remember. Climbing this fence can be such a drag sometimes.
"No one around..."
I have to make sure no one watching from the time before I climb when I climb and after I climb. I have to run for momentum and kick the lower part of the fence a bit to move upward. Then placed my hand on top of the fence and lift my body to the other side. That's the fastest way to climb it.
"Huh... Pass..."

It's been in my mind since day one, no guard is guarding the school. That is because Murakami Mayumi is the guard herself. I know that but doesn't it safer to have an actual guard inspect the school?
But of course, I'm glad they don't pay anyone to do that. If they do, it will be a pain in the ass for me to see her. Maybe I am already being caught in this moment.
Passing the rear of the pentagon building with a vase of flowers placed beside the wall, I can see a pond beside the building. This is Block 4, where our class has been placed. There are three floors including the ground floor. The ground floor consists of our teacher's room. The second floor consists of Library 4. And the top is where our class is.
In the middle of it, there's a training ground. We called it Gokakukei because of its pentagon shape. As the pentagon has 5 sides, there will be 5 classes for the first-year student. All of it was placed on each side of the pentagon.
The design of the building for the other batch is different though. But I think the class will remain the same until the final year. I don't know why they don't have the same design.

I waited for her while sitting beside the pond with my left leg going up. There are two fish that I don't know what their name is swimming elegantly through the water. One a black dish, and one a white fish.
"Hey..."
----
A serene woman's voice takes my attention from appreciating the beauty of the fish. While I can sense the warmth of her body leaning on my back. Our heads caressed each other and I can feel her almost bald hair on my neck. Resting itself comfortably.
"Hey... Mayumi."

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.
