NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 11: Chapter 11
The air crackled with anticipation in the bustling hallways of Kouh High School. A new day, a fresh start, and whispers of new students rippled through the student body like a gentle breeze.
Leo Hyoudou, a young man with kind brown eyes and a charming smile, adjusted his red jacket. He walked beside Roxy Morningstar, her long black hair framing a face that held a hint of mystery and a spark of hidden power. Both Leo and Roxy were new students, and the whispers of their arrival had already reached every corner of the school.
"Ready for this, Roxy?" Leo asked, his voice laced with a hint of excitement and a touch of nervous energy.
"As ready as I'll ever be," Roxy replied, her gaze sweeping over the crowded hallway. Her black eyes held an unusual intensity, as if she could see through the walls and perceive things beyond the ordinary.
They had just been escorted to the principal's office, where they'd discussed the details of their transfer. Now, armed with their new uniforms and a sense of anticipation, they were ready to step into a world that was both familiar and completely new.
"Miss Morningstar and Sir Hyoudou," their teacher, a kind-faced man with a warm smile, asked, "May I inquire if you two are transferring from overseas to Kouh High School?"
Leo and Roxy exchanged a silent glance, their smiles mirroring each other's knowingness. The teacher's question, while innocent enough, held a hidden significance for them. They were both aware of their unique past lives, a secret they were still trying to unravel.
"To be honest," Leo replied, his smile widening, "this is actually my hometown, and sir, you can just call us by our names."
The teacher, taken aback by Leo's straightforwardness, chuckled. "Of course, of course. Very well, Leo and Roxy. Let's head to your classroom."
As they walked towards their destination, the teacher couldn't resist asking more questions. He was intrigued by the siblings of Issei Hyoudou and Lily Hyoudou, both well-known figures in the school.
"So, you're Issei's brother and Lily's sister?" the teacher inquired, his brow furrowed with curiosity.
Leo nodded, "That's right. Though," he added, his eyes twinkling with mischief, "We haven't seen them in a while. They've been quite busy with their own things, you see."
Roxy, listening intently, couldn't help but notice the teacher's expression. He seemed to be struggling to reconcile the image of the siblings he knew with the two intelligent and composed young people in front of him. It was a subtle reminder that the world, especially the supernatural world, held many mysteries.
They arrived at the door of Issei's classroom, and the teacher instructed them to wait outside for a moment. The students, who had been settling back into their seats after the teacher's announcement of new classmates, were now all looking expectantly towards the door.
"Good morning, class," the teacher began, his voice ringing out across the room. "Today, we have two new classmates."
The students erupted in cheers, the air filled with a mixture of excitement and curiosity. Many boys hoped that the new students were girls, and many girls hoped that the new students were handsome boys. In the back row, three perverts were laughing, imagining the new students as girls with big boobs and sexy legs.
"Alright, alright, settle down," the teacher said, raising his voice above the din. "You may come in."
The door clicked open, revealing Leo Hyoudou, standing tall with his signature charm, followed by Roxy Morningstar, her presence radiating an enigmatic aura.
The classroom, filled with the buzz of anticipation, fell silent. The students stared at Leo and Roxy, trying to decipher their mystery.
The classroom was a flurry of activity. The students were buzzing with questions about Leo and Roxy, their newfound siblings, and their unexpected arrival.
Rias Gremory, however, stood silently at the back of the room, observing the newcomers. She had been alerted to their arrival by the principal, and curiosity had led her to their classroom. Her piercing blue eyes were locked on Roxy, who was now seated next to Asia. Something about Roxy seemed familiar, as if she'd seen her before in a dream.
Issei, still captivated by Roxy's beauty, couldn't resist leaning over to Asia. "Hey Asia, do you think the new girl is single? I'm thinking I might have a shot at her."
Asia rolled her eyes, "Issei, she's your sister, and besides, she's already got a boyfriend!"
Rias, eavesdropping on their conversation, subtly arched an eyebrow. "Boyfriend?" She thought back to the principal's briefing. "Interesting."
The teacher, trying to regain control of the classroom, cleared his throat. "Alright, class, please settle down. Roxy and Leo are here to learn, so let's be respectful and give them a chance to adjust."
The students quieted down, but their eyes still lingered on Leo and Roxy. The arrival of two new students had shaken up the classroom, but it was clear that their arrival was just the beginning of something much bigger.
