"Woah, you got it right!"
"That's really impressive you know!" Sitting to Yukihime's right was Hina, one of her friends. Her sleek black hair paired provided a nice contrast to her metal coloured eyes. Wearing the same sailor uniform as Yukihime and every other female classmate, Hina's bob-cut stopped at her shoulder with bangs that crossed one another.
"Thanks, hehe." Her compliment caught Yukihime off-guard. In response, she stared out the window until Hina began talking again.
"We've got a quiz later this afternoon, want to join Yukihime-chan?"
"Yeah, sure!"
"Yay!"
"Ding, ding, ding!"
Looking up over his shoulder where the clock was placed, it would appear that the lesson already was over. "Would you look at that? It's time for lunch break already..? I was getting to the good bit!" Rumbling to himself in slight annoyance as he was erasing the green chalkboard, it didn't last long before he eventually dismissed class.
"Alright everyone, take your time and I'll see you at the next lesson!" Swift in silence, Yukihime neatly picked up her books and put them in the locker before heading to the cafeteria.
…
Making her way to the cafeteria, the lunch for today would be classic rice and curry.
"Hey Yukihime-chan! Can I sit beside you?" It was Hina who had previously asked if she wanted to work together.
"..Oh, hi! Make yourself comfortable." Moving slightly to the left she made way for her friend to sit down.
After giving her polite thanks, Hina proceeded to place her tray down first before sitting down and eating besides Yumi. They both sat in silence eating for a while, with chatter and the noise of plates clanking filling the spacious cafeteria.
"WHAHH..! Would you mind if I asked you a question, Yukihime-san?"
"Sure, what would you like to know?"
"So recently, my mom and dad encouraged me to think about what path I'd want to take in 1-2 years."
"Mhm.."
"They told me I could start training to become a Stabilizer in a specialised school." Hina appeared slightly unsure about her parents' suggestions.
"I can barely grasp the concept of a Stabilizer.. Could you explain to me since you seem knowledgeable!"
Putting down her chopsticks she smiled widely. "Alright!"
"A Stabilizer is someone who carries a heavy responsibility in our world."
"Do you happen to know why?" She put her pointy finger up while asking that question. Unable to formulate an answer, Hina shook her head profusely.
"You see, bad monsters come out of a bad hole. And to combat them people fight them away! We call such people Stabilizer." Her eyes widened upon hearing that revelation.
"Woah! Really!?" Bearing a smug smile, Yukihime sat back while crossing her arms.
"Yep! A wide majority also has their own elemental powers!"
"OH! Is that why my mom and dad can use fire and ice?" Her shock turned into excitement and anticipation.
"That would be correct! They are really cool. Make sure to tell them how much you love them because they keep us safe."
"Oh.. Okay.." Putting her head down the girl seemed somewhat anxious.
"Do not falter, as they are strong!" Patting her head, Yumi tried comforting her with reassuring words.
"Hmm.. If you say so!" Jolting up like a spring that's been released of tension they both smiled at each other before continuing eating while chatting away.
Before they both knew it, lunch was already over and onto the last lesson of the day.
