(Thank you for those who have read my chapter 1 and my story. I thank you very much. I wish you will also enjoy this next chapter and I have changed the age of Aliyano…I’ve turned it to 13 years old to make the story more interesting.)

Because of the long journey, I fell asleep. My sister woke me up before we arrive at our destination. I feel refreshed after taking a long nap (I think its just nap…..or a sleep). After we stepped out from the train, my sister explained to me what “Battle” is.

“I know what a battle is.” I told her. I thought that it was just a normal battle but I was wrong.

“Not the normal battle!” shouted Milyano. “Ouch! That hurts, don’t you know that shouting makes you deaf?” I said, she shouted right in front of my left ear!

“I know that, that’s why listen to me!” she shouted again but this time it wasn’t that loud. “A “Battle” is a training combat in which students use their “Tori” as their vassal of power.” explained my super intelligent sister.

“You mean a battle. I mean something like two “Tori” will fight each other to see who’s strongest.” I said.

“Yes something like that, but remember you’re using your “Tori” as your source of power and the spirits inside your “Tori” and if you used the power too much, maybe your “Tori” will suffer major disease or unknown wounds or maybe your “Tori” will die.

“Ehhh!…..What, my Nightingale would die!” I shouted, but though my voice was loud, not one person tried to look at me because it’s too crowded. My mouth was wide open and I just stared at my sister with a very surprise look.

“Yes maybe it will die but calm down; A “Battle” only occurs if someone challenges you.” After she explained that part to me I was able to calm down. “

“I’ll never accept any “Battle”!” I promise to myself I’ll never ever accept any “Battle” in my whole life.” I promised to myself.

“That’s what I want you to do! Never accept any “Battle.”” said my not-so-concerned-but now-concerned sister; her face is nearly at my face don’t you know.

I was curious, why would my sister wants me to avoid a “Battle”. I think it’s a very good opportunity to test my cooperation with Nighty. Oh, well, I guess I don’t have to think about it anymore. As long as I study in that academy and train my “Tori” nothing will go wrong…..I hope….

Before I separate with my sister (because she’s in a different in bus, the years and classes she’s in is different in mine)

She told me that father gave her an order.

“Father gave me an order.” said my sister, while trying to find which line she supposes to be. “What orders? I never heard any of it” I asked wondering what it is.

“Of course, you never heard of it! You were so excited that you went running around, father notice that, so he told me instead.” explained again by my not-so-concerned-but now-concerned sister. She shouted in the midst of people and students but if you heard her, you can say it wasn’t loud.

“So what’s the order?” I asked. I’m so excited, not because of the order my sister will explained to me but the buses, the buses that will take me to see Tori no Tsubasa Gakuen is already here. While I was happy seeing the bus, my sister pinch my cheek hard and whispered to my ear (even though it wasn’t really a whisper).

“The orders are not to “Battle” anyone, not to accept any challenges, and never ask for a “Battle”.” She shouted to me again….does she even now how to whisper. Actually all of them are the same. They have the same topic.

“Yeah, yeah…..I know.” I answered to her. “Um…Milyano can you take your hands of my cheek……it’s starting to get swollen.” I said to her while trying to take off her hands from my cheek.

“If you happen to disobey those rules, you’re going back home.” She said with a little evil grin in her face.

“I don’t want to go back home. I wanted to train Nighty here; I’ll try not to tempt myself in accepting any “Battle” “. I thought still thinking what kind of academy is Tori no Tsubasa Gakuen.

I went inside the bus to see if anyone’s there. I thought nobody was there until someone speak “What do you want?” said a very cold voice (I’m mean the way he talks is so scary).

“Um…..U-U-Um…..is this the bus for Class A 8th grade?” I asked nervously. I thought the very cold voice will answer it but instead it was a nice, warm voice I heard.

“Its you again.” said the nice, warm voice. When I heard that voice my nervousness disappeared. “I think I have heard that voice.” I thought. I look everywhere to see who spoke those words, when my attention drew to a guy; it was that cool guy who helped me yesterday. “Um… thank you very much….yesterday….” I said shyly. “No problem, I never thought we’re in the same class.” He said while smiling at me.

“I’ll go take my seat.” I said. I’m still nervous; at every step I’m taking, it feels like someone is watching me closely. I was about to passed to the guy with a cold voice, when I thought what he looks like; I thought he’s ugly, but instead he’s very handsome (the same level of handsomeness the guy who helped me.) and he’s totally hot as well. I tried not to look at him, but I can’t it feels like time stop at me. I only stop staring when he looked at me. I feel nervous again when he looked at me.

After I got my seat I was looking for the bus my sister got on. But I didn’t saw her bus because our homeroom teacher went inside the bus and took the enroll slip from us, so I paid more attention to her than to my sister. “Is everyone here?” she asked. “Yes!” we shouted. “Good. Let’s go now.” she told the bus driver.

While we were traveling, our teacher gave us some hand-outs. Written in it was the day when will classes starts, the class schedule, the map of the school and the days when we have our free school view, (it’s the days when we can explore the whole school). We were near the front gate when I finished reading the hand-outs. I was totally excited at that time. When we entered the front gate I was totally shocked, well…. because the whole school is so totally big! I can’t even see where our dorms are because it’s totally large (wide). When we stopped, we told to line up. The dorm rooms category where given to us and I’m on the Rainforeror dorm, I was wondering why did they call it “Rainforeror” and I think someone read my mind. She was looking at me and told me that it was the categories for our “Tori” (because Nighty is a forest-type, while Fisherki, my sister’s Kingfisher is a water-type “Tori”).

“Now I get it. Thank you very much” I replied to her. “Its fine.” said the girl. Her name is Mican Loreleil, she is pretty and she has a long bright pink hair she also said she’s a transferee, so were even. She is also in the Rainforeror dorm.

I asked her: “How come you know about this if you’re a transferee?”.

Mican replied “Well, my brother used to study here.”

“Oh, I see.” I said.

“By the way what’s your name?” she asked me.

“Its, Aliyano Mikami”

“Nice to meet you Aliyano.”

“Nice to meet you too Mican”

After we said that we both laugh. “The line is moving now. Let’s go!” I told her while handing my hand to her. She gladly accepts it. I’m so happy I found a new friend already.

When we reach the dorm quarters, I found out that we were both in the same room. We were glad, so we quickly get the keys from the dorm president, went to our room and arranged our things there. The room was totally big, there are two bathrooms (suited for two people), two big bed and four large closets. Inside a bathroom were a large bathtub, one toilet, fifteen towels and two closets. We were both amazed how much they’ve taken care of our needs. When we finished arranging our things, it was almost dinnertime so we went to the canteen. We found few students there.

“There are few students here.....maybe they are finished eating already.” I thought. “Let’s go eat now.” said Mican.

I answered “Yeah, sure.”

When we finished eating, we went back to our room, we showered for awhile, and tooth brushed our teeth and arranged our bed. Mican told me something that change my goal in this academy. A very surprising thing.

“Hey, Aliyano. Do you know the Phoenix Feather?” asked Mican. She turned her head towards me and I notice that she looked at me so I turned my head towards her.

“Phoenix…..Feather…..I never heard anything about…..that.” I honestly told her.

(I finished the Chapter 2…….review me again if you want me to continue it………)
