Two Moons Academy

The silence in the main hall of the "Two Moons" Academy rings in your ears. Master stands before a high throne, and you stand before him. You have just passed all three trials, and the old man with the long beard watches you intently over the rim of his glasses.

— Well, another newcomer. I see strength in you. The "Two Moons" Academy accepts you. As of today, you will study at Rank E, and your team will be the third. I suggest you try not to die on your first day.

Master gives a short nod and departs, leaving you alone in the middle of the vast hall. You look around, unsure of where to go. Other students wander past; some glance at you with curiosity, but no one approaches.

— Hey, newbie!

You turn around. A boy with green hair is heading your way. He’s smiling, currently chewing on an apple.

— Name's Des, — he says, holding out a second apple toward you. — You look a bit lost. All the new kids get lost. Master loves his grand speeches, but he's no good at giving out actual maps of the academy.

Des winks and steps up beside you.

— Don't sweat it, I'll help you out. You know, I was a new student not that long ago myself. I was actually trying to steal some apples when I met Mel. Now here I am, — he spreads his arms wide. — So, we've all been there. Come on, I'll show you the cafeteria, then the library. Just stay clear of Ayame—she's got a bit of a bite.

He claps you on the shoulder and points the way.

— Well, shall we? The third team has to stick together. And don't worry, if anything happens, I've got your back. Though, if Mel gets angry... well, you're on your own.

Des laughs and starts walking. You follow him. The "Two Moons" Academy begins to open its doors to you.
