Randal Monstrum's Story

A man who Miki wasn't sure was actually a teacher or not, groaned and slumped forward. He seemed quite annoyed at her presence which made her feel awkward even more. But at least she knew she was in the right place, although in its current state it certainly did not look like the head office. The teacher's next words caught her off guard though as he had a go at her for offering to heal a wounded student. Miki was very confused and too surprised to be really hurt by his words. "Little...shit?" She muttered to herself, uncertain of how to reply to that. She couldn't recall ever being spoken to that way before and by the time she realised she was cross with how he spoke to her, he was gone. Miki's face went red as her cheeks puffed up with air, her lips pursed tightly shut and her eyebrows furrowed. She was angry, on her first day too. She almost looked as though she was holding her breath to stop herself from exploding. Her mind unintentionally blocking out the conversations around her until she finally calmed herself, letting out a long sigh.

A much taller than herself woman reassured her that it was fine however, which caused Miki to smile. She was calm now and would certainly not go off at a teacher on her first day and get in trouble. That would be silly, no matter how tempting it was. Perhaps it was a good thing the rude teacher left before she could retaliate. Although she had yet to discover a student was now missing. Miki looked up at the woman who she would assume was another teacher and gave a firm, confident nod, smiling. Before moving to the Harpy, she looked around at the others in the room; noticing a teacher talking to a student who she now knew was a dragon, amazing how well he hid it. Another female with long black hair was searching for something until she received a phone call. She was pretty cute Miki had to admit and she had to force herself to stop staring. How embarrassing.

Back to what was important, Miki approached the Harpy with a gentle smile, looking into her eyes with her own soft, pale violet eyes. "Hi, I'm Miki Haruko, it's nice to meet you. I just wanted to reassure you I'm going to try and heal your wound." Miki certainly did not want to freak out the girl with what her hair was going to do. Miki gently wrapped a handful of her long, pink hair around the wound. Considering it wasn't somewhere like her arm or leg, the wrapping was a bit more tedious. Miki then inhaled deeply, closing her eyes as she did so, then slowly exhaled. As she exhaled her hair began to grow in length, slowly hardening almost like a cast, a cast made completely of vines. After a few seconds, the vines began to softer and her hair returned to its normal length, slowly creeping away and unwrapping itself from around the Harpy's shoulder. "You may get a mere bruise but apart from that the injury and hopefully the pain too is gone." Although she was confident, depending on how bad the injury was determined how well she would heal her target. Miki felt quite proud about helping the girl, standing quite confidently with a bit of a grin on her face. The Harpy was mighty cute too. She needed to stop herself from staring at cute people, it surely wasn't healthy.

Miki then noticed the teacher who was speaking with dragon boy had left and the office began to slowly repair itself. She watched as bits of glass and wires fixed themselves, moving back into their rightful place in awe. The place was full of surprises and Miki could feel excitement and energy slowly build up inside her, like she could do laps around the school if it built up any further. Being in a new place was both scary and exciting, made her want to throw up glitter. The tall woman then said her goodbyes and left the room. "Meeting with the Headmaster?" The female's words distracted Miki from her day dream. So the students in the office were there to see the Headmaster. She was curious about what for but wasn't sure who to ask. Perhaps the cute girl with the long black hair?

It was then that she almost didn't notice someone was talking to her, so caught up in the events around her. Miki turned to look up at another male student. "Cutie?" She muttered to herself, looking left then right, was he speaking to her? She tilted her head slightly to the side, studying the male, a rather confused look on her face for a moment as she wasn't sure how to react. "New to the school? Oh! Yes, um. I'm assuming you are too?" She had to collect herself for a moment there, almost spacing out with disbelief and a bit of embarrassment for being casually called cute. "Sorry! I didn't introduce myself, I'm Miki Haruko, it's a pleasure to meet you." Miki smiled a most charming smile before noticing the black haired female from earlier about to place her hand on the male's shoulder, trying to get his attention by saying his name. "Am I correct to assume your name is Randal?" She spoke once more with a short, soft chuckle before gesturing to behind him. He was obviously oblivious to the poor girl trying to get his attention. Quite distracted at the moment she hadn't yet noticed the other male observing the room from the wall to the side.

Flags continued to speak for a moment, taking Miki's hand into his own and smiling at her quite charmingly. She suddenly felt like her stomach sunk out of nervousness. He was the Headmaster's son and she felt that meant he was quite important. Miki nodded in reply to his question on whether she was enjoying the school so far or not. "U-Um." However as she was about to reply to him further and respond to his other questions, he turned to... The Headmaster's mistress? Who had been trying to get his attention this whole time.

Miki simply smiled; she was patient but more curious about what the two were talking about. This, Mistress? Seemed important too. Perhaps the secretary for the Headmaster? Her head tilted slightly to side, studying the two. She had never seen or spoken to anyone apart from her own kind before; she was uncertain about how to act and speak.

Suddenly, Miki felt Flags aura went quite, dark and ominous. She didn't know what that meant but her instincts told her he was touchy about a certain unknown subject. It surprised her however, when Flags was done speaking with the girl, he turned back to Miki like he had never been annoyed at all. That sudden change in aura was intriguing but also made her feel a bit, wary. Her big, pale violet eyes fluttered briefly, as they stared back into his, a bit caught off guard at how quickly the conversation ended between himself and the cute girl. The tour sounded like a good idea, she had already forgotten why she was looking for the Head Office to begin with, possibly curious about where her dorm and class was. "That would be much appreciated Flags, I'd love a tour." Her eyes smiled along with her soft, peach pink lips. Miki's eyes then trailed to his hand however which she noticed had blood on it. Her eyes widened and her mouth opened to let out a short gasp. "Flags! Have you been hurt?" Quite alarmed and worried now. Everyone she met seemed to be injured today; on the first day too. She felt the need to be extra careful now, no running around like an excited child at a theme park.

Ah that's a relief. Not his blood. Wait. Not his blood?! At first Miki was relieved until she realised what Flags words actually implied. Had he harmed someone? That's what she began to believe as she swallowed nervously. Flags distracted her from her thoughts however when he held her soft hand and began walking down the hallway.

Miki looked back, noticing the room was quite empty except for some odd looking man with a blind fold on. He was quite tall too. Very tall actually and slender. A teacher perhaps? But why was he blind folded? Eventually the man was no longer in her sight as Flags began showing her around the school. Her grip was not so tight around his, she was nervous and not exactly used to making any physical contact with others. She felt she had a lot to learn about different races and cultures. Miki would be sure to study hard.

First was the main courtyard. Miki studied the area in awe "Wow! This place is huge!" The whole school is huge. Miki started to worry about how she would remember her way around. There was no way she could make it through the year with shoes on. They just complicated things. Miki took in every beautiful detail of the courtyard as she listened to Flags, making a mental note about where to buy things and use the postal service before they moved on to the next location.

Miki felt that Flags was quite gentle, more gentle than she would have thought considering he had another person's blood on his hand. Once they reached the greenhouse, Miki's eyes lit up and she beamed with much excitement and happiness; her grip on Flags hand suddenly became quite tight; she felt like a little kid in a candy store. "Oh my! This place is beautiful!" She exclaimed. Listening as Flags explained everything was free for the students to consume. "Really? Wow this school has everything!" Her pale, violet eyes sparkled with admiration, she was certain she would spend most of her time in the greenhouse where she felt most comfortable. Flags continued to speak of the shooting range, letting out a short chuckle in reply to him.

Flags asked if there was anywhere specific she wished to go or see. "Hm... I would like to see where I'll be staying. Dorms I think they are called?" Miki nodded to herself as if to confirm her own question. She felt much more comfortable now, felt like she didn't have to be so cautious. Although she really should be, she was far too happy over the greenhouse. "So I can finally take these stupid things off." She continued, pointing to her shoes.
