[Third Person POV]

"Clyde... How could you lose your luggage???"

Mira had given herself a facepalm once she heard that Clyde had lost his bags. While it didn't have much in it, it was still everything he owned.

Clyde looked away, not wanting to answer her question. He knew he messed up and had no one but himself to blame for it.

On the bright side, the house they moved to had free rent. Looking at Clyde, Katie was worried about his carelessness.

"We can always buy what you lost, after you settled in."

"You don't get it. Not everything can be bought..."

They could retrace their tracks, but there was no guarantee they would find his belonging. With Mira and Clyde in a lousy mood, Katie tried to put their state into a better one.

Clyde had lost only a monumental gift the orphanage gave that was destroyed by a criminal. The people of the orphanage didn't die, but it was inhabitable, which meant everyone had to find a place to stay.

"If it helps, I could send some people and search everywhere on where we went."

Katie, without hearing their answers, dialed her phone. It didn't take long for her to finish what she wanted to do.

"Thank you..."

The tears coming out of Clyde could be seen. After getting a place, these two siblings found it rare for people to help out of their own will. The genuine thank you to Katie could be seen.

Mira's evaluation of her had also increased. While the mood wasn't fully back to normal, it was still better than before.

"Look, we have arrived."

With them being depressed over the matter of losing their belonging, they arrived at a humble mansion.

Both Clyde and Mira were shocked upon seeing the place where they were going to live for the next four years.

They haven't paid much attention while visiting their new residence but seeing the mansion. They froze at the front gate.

"You can gape your mouth at it later. We got many things to do once you settle in."

"We?" Mira looked at her.

"I'm also going to stay here to keep an eye on the two of you. Leaving two young adults in a mansion alone isn't the best idea."

Mira suspiciously looked at Katie. Mira and Clyde had already lived in a house alone for three years, maybe Clyde would need help, but she didn't.

Not wanting to be rude to her employer, she didn't voice her opinion. Clyde looked happy to get a new roommate.

As for the rest of their time, the three picked their room and started wandering around the mansion.

Currently, Clyde and Mira have begun their first class at the academy. The teacher escorted them to their classroom.

"Clyde, Mira. I'm Mr. Trek, your new homeroom teacher."

Mr. Trek was having a hay day with many talented students coming his way. Just by having Charles as his student, he became the head teacher.

"Glad to have you as our teacher."

Clyde gave a warm smile making Mr. Trek feel welcome. As for Mira, she was neutral about this. With these two following the teacher, they head to class.

"Good morning, everyone. We have two new students today. Why don't the both of you introduce yourself?"

"I'm Clyde! I hope we can all be friends!"

"I'm Mira, like my brother Clyde. I hope we can all get along."

Everyone could tell that Clyde was a person that spoke passionately. As for Mira, everyone knew she said that out of formality.

"Why don't you go pick a seat? Expect for the one beside the white-haired girl."

Reina stared into the distance and contemplated why she continued staying in class. When the teacher described her appearance, she looked at the teacher and stared at the two new students.

Looking at the two people, Reina felt something weird about them. She had felt conflicted upon seeing them.

Upon seeing the two, she felt like she was familiar with them. But that couldn't be the case, as she had no recollection of them.

​ The other emotion she felt was absolute revulsion. Like the earlier statement, she had no recollection of them but couldn't stand their presence. Her reason for coming back to class had instantly collapsed.

Like the fraternal twins, they also have the same feeling once they glance at Reina. Before they could have a stare-off, Mr. Trek interfered.

"Are you not going to pick a seat..?"

The teacher's words had gotten both of them to snap out of their thought before they made a big deal out of it. The two found a place to sit with both spaces open to them.

"Before we start class, I'm here to make an announcement. Brave academy will be open to people to the two worlds with the combination of the two other worlds."

Mr. Trek's announcement had caused a stir. With the problems recently, they were surprised that they would let in outsiders.

"As your teacher, I expect you all to be at your best when dealing with them. They will be possible allies and friends in the future."

"I'm not telling you to have to get along with them, but fighting is something I would advise from."

The announcement was short, but the impact had everyone listen in closely. Clyde and Mira didn't expect things to get this hectic once they joined the academy.

With new students from the two other worlds coming here, many rules would change, and competition would arise.

As for Reina, Clyde, and Mira. They didn't bother with each other knowing that staring at each other would do nothing for them. Ignoring each other was the best possible outcome for the three of them.

At the end of class, Reina left immediately. She didn't want to deal with this nauseating feeling in the presence of the twins.

Then we have Clyde and Mira. Unlike Reina, they were making connections with everyone in the class. Clyde was primarily motivated to do something like this.
