This morning, Minato heard rumors that a new transfer student was coming to his class. These were confirmed when Ms. Toriumi entered the room with a... weird guy. He wore a white shirt and a long yellow scarf, his skin was very pale, and his eyes as blue as the sky.

He reminded Minato of some certain mysterious boy. The similarity was astonishing, but it could only be a coinscidence.

- Alright, everyone - says Ms Toriumi - Today we have yet another transfer student... As you all know, this is our 3rd. That makes it a hat trick. - A sillence filled the air. The class was unamused. - ...... Please, introduce yourself. - the boy stepped forward.

- My name is Ryoji Mochizuki. I would be gratefull if you could show me the ropes.

Suddenly many girls started whishpering to each other stuff like "Hey, he's kinda cute." A big smilled was stamped on Ryoji's face.

- ...Nice to meet you. - for some reason, Minato felt that the boy was looking in his direction.

- Ryoji lived overseas for a long time because of his parents' work. So he may not be used to all of our customs. Be sure to explain it to him. Now then, you'll need a seat. Let's see... That one's open. - she points at the second from the left in the front.

- Um... Ms. Toriumi. - said Yukari - Techinaclly, that seat is taken...

- You must be present to be a member of this class, - she replied - so as far as I'm concerned, that seat is available. Life is nothing but a game of musical chairs. The rest of you should be careful, too.

Ryoji started walking, but for some reason, he went to Aigis's chair.

- Good morning. - he said. - I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name... - and out of nowhere, Aigis replied.

- ... You are dangerous.

- Dangerous? I haven't even asked you out on a date yet...

- ... A date?

- Aigis, what's wrong with you? - Yukari whisphered to her.

- Hahaha, rejected from the start. You're an interesting girl...

- Your teacher understands, Aigis. - says Ms Toriumi. - You haven't had very long to be the "new student" and already you have to share the spotlight. I wish your classmates would pay attention to me for a change. Hey, are any of you even listening?




Alrighty, Ryoji is kind of a cool character
No, actually he's an ESSENTIAL character
