Chapter Text
A blonde haired man stood before a large door.
His name was Dainsleif. And he had a strange appearance indeed.
He wore a strange mask over the right side of his face, and his clothes.. Let's not talk about that.
But the interesting part about him is the fact that he's currently the principal of Teyvat Academy.
He, at first, did not want to have this title. But met with Aether and Lumine's desperate pleas and attempts..
How could he ever refuse?
So here we are, it's only been a month since the school's official opening, and he already has something troublesome to report to the school board.
He sighed, and knocked at the excuse for a door (it was more like a gate, or at least to him). His knuckles rapped against the wood exactly three times before a familiar voice spoke from the other side.
"Come in."
The blonde man opened the door as quietly as possible, to be met with the room where the current heavenly principle and their assistants usually reside during the day.
The room was luxurious, a long, hardwood table patterned with gold stood in the middle. A majestic glass door leading to the balcony stood behind it.
There were 10 people in the room, 11 if you count Dain himself.
Two at the head of the table. Two familiar blonde individuals. One male, and one female. The male had his silky hair in a braid, he wore a crop top with a big star looking shape on his chest. And his belt(?) featured another star. And the rim of his pants was similar to that of clouds. Though the rest of his bottom part was covered by the table. And 1/3 of his upper body was covered by the white and gold scarf. The rest of his outfit has gold linings.
And the girl besides him, she had her hair cut short, but spared the side bangs. She wore white flowers in her hair, Inteyvats, to be exact. Her dress was connected to her scarf by two black pieces of cloth. And around below her chest, she also had a star looking symbol on it. On the front end of her skirt, it had a metal piece hanging from it. She wore unconnected sleeves and half gloves. Both she and the male have golden eyes
The two blondes are twins.
And on each side of the table sat two women each. On the male's side closest to him, sat a white haired lady with golden-yellow eyes. Her eyes are sharp, unlike the softer ones of the twins. She wore a black turtleneck. And her tie made of a reflective fabric, paired with being gray coloured, making it look metallic silver, which was the point (Silver tie symbolizes being on the school board), the name tag on her chest spoke for itself that the woman's name is Asmoday. And behind her stood a girl with shoulder length hair of similar color, her hair holds some black star shaped clips, along with a little halo above her head. Her eyes are purplish black with white pupils. She wore a sleeveless, floral patterned dress, and in comparison to the woman she's accompanying, she seemed very out of place indeed.
Cut the woman opposite Asmoday, she had yellowish blonde hair, her eyes heterochromia of blue of gold. Her hair also had an orange gradient at the end of the side bangs. Though her hood covers most of her hair, it is still debatable that her face alone was pretty. She also had a DNA-like circle behind her head. She wore a white cloak, accompanied by the signature silver tie and a name tag that said Rhinedottir. Behind her, an ash colored haired male stood, his disturbingly symmetrical face and icy blue eyes indicated that he took after his mother on being pretty no matter the gender indeed. He dressed quite simply, a white hoodie and black shorts. Though he had a badge on his chest shaped like some kind of Windmill. The name tag hanging loosely over his hoodie indicated that his name was Albedo.
Then the woman next to Rhinedottir, her hair as white as snow, but also seemed to have a warm gradient. Her white flower-like pupils contrast with her golden irises. She wore nothing much, just a black dress with a crimson lining. Her eye-like hair clips proved to be quite ethereal, along with the sharp wings that seemingly have eyes over them. And of course, she had a silver tie and a name tag, hers says Ronova.
Then across from Ronova, sat a lady also with white hair. Though she had a huge clock like halo above her head, it proved to not be of any inconvenience. Her golden eyes seemed mythical and all knowing. But aside from her exotic looks, she dressed quite plainly. A light blue cardigan over shoulder revealing shirt and perhaps a knee long skirt. And behind her stood a blacked haired boy with teal coloured braids for his side bangs. He wore some cecelias in his hair, and he's dressed in a light teal cardigan, similar to his mother, over his button up, paired with a more saturated teal tie. His blue, green eyes are full of mischief and freedom. He was also wearing black shorts. His name tag hanging says that his name is Venti.
But, in the corner of the room stood a little sofa. And a purple haired boy sat on it. The boy had horns and a tail, there was no doubt he was a dragon. His name was During, but he's not the Durin whose body now rested in Dragonspine. He was instead a character from a fairytale book turned alive, from the world called 'Simulanka' written by Andersdotter of the Hexenzirkel. His demeanor says it all, he was a very timid and curious boy indeed, having just started to live with humans outside of the world of toys and paper craft.
Dain then sat at the side opposite to the twins. The male, Aether, was just snacking on his pen casually before his sister, Lumine, smacked him.
The blonde man could only watch, this happens quite regularly.
He cleared his throat, before speaking up.
"Aether, Lumine, I've got an email from UA."
Well that certainly peaked their attention.
Lumine rested her chin on her hand, eyes sharp and serious. "Well then, care to enlighten us, Twilight Sword?" They have never received an email from the outside before. After all, they have just recently implemented some modern technology of the outside like phones, computers, and many more.
"It says this;
From: [email protected]
Greetings, I am Nedzu, the principal of the most prestigious hero school of Japan, UA. On this occasion, I have quite an offer for you Mr. Dainsleif.
My offer is; have class 2-A spend this year at your academy. It will be a good opportunity indeed for us to connect and study each other's cultures. We will also send a total of 3 teachers, so don't worry about our students causing trouble.
Perhaps we could also share some experiences, Japan has just gone through a war after all. I'm sure you'll consider this email very carefully."
A scoff could be heard from a certain bard-god. "Really? From the sound of it, this looks more like an excuse to come here and 'save' our poor, helpless, and brainwashed students and citizens." He also spoke the 'poor, helpless, and brainwashed' part in a singsong tone to add to the dramatic effect.
Though he shut up immediately after his mother in front of him sent him a glare.
"That is exactly my thoughts, but even as the principal, I have no absolute authority. That authority belong to you, Aether and Lumine." Dain said seriously. "That is why I have brought this email to you today. To discuss the consequences of each road we take."
The twins looked at each other, as if communicating telepathically. They seemed to come to an agreement after a few minutes.
Aether looked at Dainsleif, then spoke those words that would determine their fate.
"It's better if we agree to it. With the current rumours and propaganda circling Japan three days. This request is no doubt the HPSC's plan. They do not like not being in control, with how corrupt they are, we don't even have to doubt. Even if we refuse the exchange program, they will find some way to make us seem like even more of a cult."
Lumine chimed in. "And actually, what if we teach them a little lesson?"
And with those words, everyone's attention went to her (minus her brother), even Durin the little dragon who was just reading his book earlier, is now listening intently.
"So... You know the fact that those rumors are absolutely not true, and we know it. But class 2A don't. If we could sway their minds, they could be good allies indeed. Just imagine how chaotic it would be for the HPSC if heroes in training they used to control like puppets suddenly have minds of their own and start rebelling?"
Rhinedottir was obviously enjoying the image of the HPSC crumbling just because of a tiny loss of control by now, it was impossible to hide the amusement on her face. "Now that's interesting, wouldn't you agree, Albedo?"
The Albedo in question only nodded, his mind was visibly elsewhere at this point.
The other people seemed to agree with the idea. So Lumine decides to conclude the decision herself.
She clapped her hands and cleared her throat. "So, you heard that right, Dain? You just go and send the reply then call upon a meeting with the staff members to tell them about this magnificent plan. This meeting is dismissed for tonight."
And with that, Dain bowed slightly, after standing up of course. Then left the room.
