Aqueas Scale Academy

The Edge Of The Clockwork Horizon: Chapter 2: Aqueas Scale Academy

第一単

The sky is blue, there was a cloud shaped like a cotton candy. It was beautiful but somehow I felt like the sky was making fun of me, 
「It hurts....」I tried to move my body but a sharp pain spreads across my body making me unable to move an inch, 
「Oh my, Kamine, you look pathetic~」Dark blue gym bloomer, white T-shirt with Kamine written on the chest section and navy blue straight long hair. Kami-nee stepped on my chest, 
「Kami-nee, I can't breath, I would appreciate it if you move your right foot....」
「I thought that it might make you happy since....look, my bloomer. I moved a lot during the dodgeball challenge so it's covered in sweat, you can almost see everything. For someone who likes to play with girls, I thought it might make you really happy.」She laughed through her nose, mocking me because I lost once again, 
「I would be happy to see that but knowing that you are mocking me, makes me really frustrated」
「Victory! Kazuma Kamine......(The Big Sister)! The Seiou Academy Dodgeball Champion Queen keeps her throne!!!!!!」The MC yelled through the mic, 
「Good luck on the next game, Ka~mi~ne~」Kami-nee walked away from me, keeping her arrogant but elegant smile on her.
「Damn it....」

「Kazuma-sama? Is something wrong?」Miori waved her left hand in front of my face to make sure that I focus again, 
「Nothing, The Tour, continue it」
「I understand, Kazuma-sama. This room is the Principal's Office, Aqueas Minori, My sister's office」Miori opened the giant door to the Principal's office, 
「Nee-sama, I'm back」Miori bowed down to her sister. 
「Welcome back, Miori」A maiden that has the similar figure to Miori stood in front of us. Her face looked exactly the same as Miori the only thing different is that her light orange spiky long wild hair that make her look like a violent character. That was what I thought at first, 
「Oh my, you brought a guest. I'll prepare, tea for 3」She was unexpectedly formal and lady like, just like her sister Miori

Minori prepared us an earl grey tea and she also prepared some home made cookies. 
「Now that Miori had explained me about Kazuma-san's situation. I'll take care of it but for now, Kazuma-san, I recommend you to stay in a guest bedroom for now while I prepare a right student room and a classroom for you.」Minori stood up and went towards her principal desk. 
「Miori, can you please lead Kazuma-san to the guest bedroom in the West Wing Dormitory」
「I understand, Nee-sama. Now, Kazuma-sama, Follow me」Miori opened the giant door of the principal's office once again, 
「Wait」I stopped Miori, 
「Is something wrong? Kazuma-sama」she tilted her head while looking really confuse, 
「Let me finish my tea first」I grabbed the tea cup still containing half of earl grey tea. I chugged the tea till it's empty, 
「Let's go」I left the principal's room with Miori and we head towards the West Wing Dormitory.

Miori showed me the way to the guest bedroom, 
「Night is near, please rest for now, Kazuma-sama」Miori gave me the key to the room then she walked away, I watched her back slowly get smaller as she gets really far away. 
「I'm tired, I'll rest for today」When I opened the door, I immediately saw a grand room. It was a room that didn't look like it was for guests, it was really clean, everything is in it: refrigerator and microwave etc.... It was beautiful, the bed was really soft, I thought that I could sleep really fast once I am on the bed but I was distracted by the scene outside. It was still sunset, I looked out through the window and was surprised that it was still sunset. I stared at the orange sky through the window while wondering why it was still sunset. While I was pondering about it, I heard a clock tick. It was loud, it came from my right. I opened the window and tried to look at where the sound came from. The moment I placed my head out of the window, I immediately saw a tall clock tower which I didn't saw when I first came in the academy even though it was taller than the whole academy. 
「Again...」I heard another clock tick. The moment I heard the next tick, the sun suddenly set covering everything with darkness. 

When the darkness, covered the whole forest, I saw one spark of light inside the forest which the clock tower was in. 
「What is that」I jumped out from the window since the room was just in the first floor. I fell on a bush, 
「It might be just a cat」I heard someone's voice and a light flashes to the bush I am currently in, 
「Close that window over there, someone might go in through it」someone approached the window of the room I was in before and closed the window. 
「Let's go」
「Aah」I waited a few minutes to make sure they were away. After that I assumed they were away, I immediately step out of the bush, 
「You!」someone immediately found me, 
「tch, I thought that I won't use it this early」I stopped the time so that I could escape with an ease.
