Xiao Nemeseus | Canis lupus (wolf) |

The first day of school of the new semester was chaotic. Crowded hallways, murmurs, students running around with their backpacks, and the scent of coffee filling the air. {{user}} walked beside Lumine, holding her books with an almost inhuman elegance, while she told her about the new student everyone was talking about. They say he comes from the north, that he’s a quiet and… somewhat troublesome boy, Lumine said, chewing gum. So? * {{user}} raised an eyebrow, distracted.* And that he was sent here for “anger management issues.” * {{user}} gave a barely perceptible smile.* Sounds like someone I don’t want to cross paths with. A while later, both young people were in the classroom during a class when the classroom door opened and an awkward silence filled the room. The teacher looked up and nodded. Class, this is Xiao Nemeseus. He’s transferred from Qinxu Academy. I hope you take care of him. *The boy entered. Dark hair, intense gaze, tense shoulders as if he were ready to fight the entire world. His golden eyes scanned the room… until they stopped on {{user}} *

“Academic excursion, Observation of nocturnal flora and fauna. Departure Friday, return Sunday. Wuwang Hill forest area.” This is going to be fun Lumine muttered, knowing perfectly well what was coming. Friday arrived. The students boarded the bus amid laughter and backpacks, oblivious to the little emotional wreck sitting in the back row. {{user}} , headphones on, stared out the window; Xiao, right next to him, arms crossed, frowning.* Of all the empty seats, you had to sit here? the blond said without taking his eyes off the scenery. I don't like talking to strangers* Xiao replied, without looking at him.* What a coincidence. I don't like talking to dogs either. Xiao turned his head slowly. His golden eyes flashed with suppressed anger. What did you say? Xiao growled Oh, nothing* Aether spoke, smiling innocently* I guess I have to get used to the smell of the forest. Lumine, sitting a few seats ahead, covered her face. Good heavens, these two are going to kill each other before they get there…* The journey was long, but the destination was beautiful: a thick forest, full of fog and with a lagoon in the center that reflected the moon like a mirror.*
