Advertisement

Alejandro arrives at his apartment and a robust woman is waiting for him at the door.

"Why hello Alejandro dear, I just wanted to give you this…" The woman says with a smile as she hands over a lunch box to Alejandro.

"Thank you Ms. Gutierrez…"Alejandro says with a smile.

Rosa Gutierrez is a 40 year old widow. She has a robust body and a chubby face. She has white skin and red hair. She is the guardian of Alejandro which is why she is always bringing him dinner.

Alejandro looks at his food, Ms. Gutierrez notices Alejandro's sad expression.

Ms. Gutierrez grabs Alejandro's face, Alejandro looks at her worried expression.

"Mijo, are you okay? I've been very worried about you ever since you came with all those bandages. Did you get into a fight?"

"No Ms. Gutierrez, I fell down the stairs, that's all, please don't worry about me…"

"I understand, mijo, you don't want to talk about it, but please remember that I am here for you okay…"

Alejandro smiles at her and replies:

"Thank you Ms. Gutierrez I know…"

"Ay mijo, call me Rosa okay…" Rosa winks at him, causing Alejandro to feel chills down his spine.

(RING RING)

The phone rings in Rosa's apartment. Rosa answers the phone and the person from the other side says:

"Rosa, has there been any change?"

"I'm afraid there is, he's presenting a strange manna coming out of his left hand, what is my next move?"

"For the meantime none, let's just wait until there is another change. I must warn you that someone with a powerful manna has arrived at the Borderland."

"Are you serious? Is he a friend or a foe?"

"That I don't know, please stay alert and protect our objective…"

"I will...I won't fail my mission…"

Meanwhile, Alejandro unwraps the bandage of his left hand and sees his mark.

Alejandro looks worried as he says:

"Ever since that night, the key disappeared and this mark appeared, but that's not all. I've been seeing strange colors surrounding people…"

(BADUMP BADUMP)

Alejandro feels pain in his hand,his brown eyes change to yellow and once again, the mark begins to shine.

"Ahhhh….ha...ha...ha…"

The key stops shining, Alejandro breathes heavily as he shakes. Slowly, Alejandro passes out because of the pain.

Meanwhile, at the top of a tall building, Uriel looks towards downtown and thinks:

"That sensation, there's no doubt that it was the same I felt the other night."

Uriel jumps off the building and falls. He closes his eyes enjoying the fall.

As he approaches the floor, Uriel summons a whirlpool made of wind which stops his fall. He lands smoothly and continues to walk without a care in the world.

“This is bothersome, well I don’t sleep anyway...might as well begin the hunt.” Uriel enters an empty alley as he thinks:

“This place is full of mana, but it’s full of Sombras as well... It’s going to be a long night...”

Uriel removes his left glove revealing a ring in his hand, a “Sombra” approaches him at high speed.

“You guys don’t waste time ehh...”

Uriel makes a fist and flames come out of his ring.

(BOOOOMM,RRRRRAAAAWWW)

January 20th, Sun City International Highschool

A normal day in Sun City, students walk towards their classes like any other day. However, this day is different as a New student walks towards the school.

In the principal's office, the principal; Olivia Lucifugus has a conversation in the phone with a certain person:

"Darius dear, I am getting tired of working as a Principal, is there any other thing for me to do?"

Olivia Lucifugus is Darius' wife. She has white hair, white skin and a slim body. She has the appearance of a 40 year old woman. She has a reddish tone on her eyes. She is also Aleister’s mother.

"Patience my sweet Olivia, our plans are moving smoothly. Right now you must continue being the principal and when the time comes, we'll slaughter everyone in the school…"

Olivia begins to laugh:

"Oh dear, you are so funny...but I can't wait for that moment to come…"

"I have a meeting right now, I'll see you at dinner and make sure to bring Aleister with you…"

“Alright, I think Marjorie is coming as well...”

“Excellent, anyway, a new student will be arriving soon...he’s a recommendation from an old acquaintance, be sure to be nice with him...”

Olivia hangs the phone,-KNOCK KNOCK- A beautiful blonde woman enters the office.

"Excuse me, Principal Olivia, the new student has arrived…"

"Excellent, let him pass Ms. Saito…"

"As you wish…"

The new student enters the office, Olivia opens her eyes widely and smiles:

"My, oh my, who would've thought that such a powerful being would be entering my school…"

It’s almost the end of the first period, Alejandro takes the Advance Algebra class.In this class there is also Marjorie, Angela, Victoria,Raul, Angela and Aleister.

“Alright class, please turn in your assignments for today...” Kasumi begins to pick up the papers.

Alejandro slowly begins to fall asleep again.

“Pss...Hey Alejandro, are you okay?” Angela whispers to Alejandro, she sits in front of him. Alejandro feels weak and looks at his hand, he is very sweaty as he holds his hand.

“Why is it hurting again...not only that, I don’t feel so good, my head feels like it is about to explode...”

“Alejando?” Angela touches Alejandro's shoulder, he comes back to his senses and sees Angela with a worried expression. He makes a smile:

“I’m fine, don’t worry about me...”

“You’ve been acting strange lately, are you feeling sick?”

Alejandro chuckles nervously as he comes up with an excuse:

“No, it’s just the cold weather....trust me, I’m fine...”

“HEY YOU TWO, PLEASE PUT ATTENTION!”

Kasumi scolds both of them, both of them nervously apologize:

“We’re sorry...”

Kasumi clears her throat; “Ahem...anyway, like I was saying, today we are receiving a new transfer student...”

Everyone in the classroom begins to talk to each other saying:

“Wow, a transfer student...Do you think he's a guy.....No it’s a girl....”

“Teacher, do you know who the transfer student is?” A female student asks Kasumi.

“To be honest, I don’t know...”

Alejandro only looks at the window, not caring at all.

“I wonder how is he or she like?” Marjorie asks Aleister who is sitting next to her. Aleister looks at the door with a mad expression thinking:

“Damn it, I wasn’t informed about this...mother you will be punished...”

(KNOCK KNOCK)

Suddenly the whole class turns silent. They all stare at the door; everyone sees a silhouette but it is not clear if it’s a man or woman.

“Come in...”

The door begins to open, Kasumi is writing on her board as she says:

“Welcome to our cl...”
