Going back to school.

            

The rest of his month of vacation were not exactly rosy. Right after the funeral he had to pack all his stuff he had in the little apartment where he lived with his dad. He couldn't live alone so the only way to have a roof over his head was to live in the orphanage. As soon as he had moved in there he got really quiet. He had no interest in talking to people, meeting people or even leave his bed. He was feeling very weak. Pretty understandable when a 18 year old boy loses his entire family. 

Benjiro didn’t like a single other kid in the orphanage. Being 18 years old, he felt like he was the most mature and most grown up in this group. The rest of his so-called vacation went on without anything noteworthy. He was actually pretty happy to go back to school. The thing about this school is that it wasn't a regular school. Benjiro’s father sent him to an elite school to prepare him for anything bad happening. Mate always said two things to his son. The first thing was that he always believed in his son and pinned all his hopes on him. The second thing was to always be ready. Ready for the evil to strike when he leasts expects it.

In this school they learned to control magic spells to defeat whatever evil that stood in their way. Also, they had classes in selfdefense and evil races. For some diversity they also had a magical cooking class and to appreciate the deceased wizards of the past, they learned about the history.
His two best friends at school were two girls called Itoe and Notomi. They’ve known each other since the first day of school. This must’ve been already 5 years ago. They seemed to connect right from the start and all of them were happy to be in this special school together. The location of the school is undisclosed for safety reasons. It would've been easy to track it down and maybe plan something.

When Ben told the two girls about what happened during his vacation, Itoe started crying. She was feeling so sorry for him. She knew exactly what his situation was looking like and she couldn't even imagine going through something like this. Notomi was trying to cheer Ben up with some candy but he refused to take them. That was the one thing Notomi always had. She always carried a little bag around. Most people thought in it were things that she needed for school but Benjiro and Itoe knew that the content of that bag was like 90% candy and 10% makeup. She never had anything prepared for class. Out of those three she was the messiest.

The interesting thing about Itoe was, that she had a secret. A secret that not even her closest friends knew. The fact that she had one leg made out of metal was visible. The reason or rather the story behind that was unclear. That’s just something she doesn't want to talk about. It made her feel uncomfortable.

Either way, they had to get ready for class, so they each went to get their stuff, except for Notomi. She kept laying on the bed eating. Ben didn't know what it was but he had feeling that this year of school was going to be…different.
