The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era [BL]

REAS jumped down his loft bed, his body still lethargic from sleep.  He, then, walked towards the bathroom and first splashed his face with water.  His sleepiness disappeared a bit because of that.  But that was just a bit.  He was still sleepy as hell. 

He always had problems waking up in the morning.  Especially if he stayed up late the previous night.  It was fine if the reason he stayed up late was because he was playing at the Mecha Hall.  But no, this time it's because of a very stupid reason.  He almost lost sleep because he kept on wondering if the Fenris Squad would be in charge of their training.

He had never felt so stupid.  He decided to not think about it and yet when night came, it was all he could think about.  Truly, what a stupid thing to do.  He shook his head.  He truly wouldn't think about that anymore.

He brushed his teeth.  After that, he walked out of the bathroom and took out the training clothes from the small closet beside the study table.  The clothes were given to him yesterday when he registered.  It was a pair of black shirt and trousers.  It also came with a special belt.  Once you pressed a certain button on it, the training clothes you're wearing would change to something more appropriate for Mecha training.

Reas did so.  And his clothes suddenly tightened around his body.  He was startled.  It felt like the clothes suddenly became a second skin.  It's not that it's uncomfortable.  It just felt like he's naked.  He quickly turned it off and his clothes immediately went back to normal.

He looked at the clock and saw that there's only seven minutes left.  There's still enough time to go to the Mecha Department if he ran. 

He was about to go out when he saw a big foot hanging on the other loft bed.  It seemed his roommate was still asleep.  Should he wake him up?  If the other hadn't woken up despite that loud alarm, that meant that he's the type that was difficult to wake up.

He didn't want to waste time here.  But it's also rude to not even try to wake the other.  So, the fastest way to do this was to use a bit of force.

He jumped up a bit, just enough to be on the same level as the other's loft bed.  The moment he did, he took out the pillow under Ash's head and quickly smack it on the other's face.

When he landed on his feet, Ash suddenly sat up and yelled;

"Where's the enemy?"

"There's no enemy.  We're told to go to our department's building in," Reas looked at the clock.  The seven minutes now turned to six.  He frowned.  "If you don't want to be late, then, get up."

After he said that, he opened the window on their room.  Not caring about the other's reply, he simply jumped down the window.  Their room was in the fourth floor.  But he still successfully landed unscathed. 

The freshman who just got out of the dormitory building and saw what happened unknowingly stopped in their tracks.  They couldn't believe that someone would really just jump down from the window.  He didn't just jump from the second floor or the third floor but the floor!  They wanted to say how crazy this guy was.  But being able to do that so easily only meant that the other's physique level was just that high.

Reas, of course, paid no attention to these people.  He stretched his muscle a bit and then dashed towards the direction of the Mecha Department building.  He had already memorized the way yesterday.  So, going there was no problem. 

He swiftly avoided the other students running and scampering about.  And in no time reached his destination.  When he entered the Mecha Department building, a virtual screen was at the very entrance.  It said to go to the assembly hall.  There were virtual arrows pointing to the place.  So, it didn't take long for him to reach it. 

He looked at the clock on his Terminal.  There were still three minutes left.  Just right in time.  That fast run also awakened him thoroughly.

He then looked around.  The assembly hall was like an amphitheater.  The seats were leveled and at the very end was a stage. 

It could probably house around 500 people.  That meant that the number of freshmen in this department didn't exceed that number.  Which was very few if you compared it to another military academy.  Well, they did say that Imperial Military Academy only accept the elites among the elites.  So, no wonder.

Reas walked at one of the higher seats and sat near the aisle just beside the exit.  This way, he could immediately go out once they were dismissed.

The hall soon slowly began to fill with students.  A certain area seemed to have more students in it.  At the very center of it was someone with platinum blond hair and green eyes.  Most of the students surrounding the guy had a flattering look on their faces, as if they couldn't wait to get on the other's good side.

He frowned at that.  Not because of their disgusting antics.  But because of that person's features.  Which was, in some sense, equally disgusting.

He took back his gaze.  It's better not to quickly make assumptions.  He didn't want to lose his temper here.

He looked once again at the clock on his Terminal.  There was only less than a minute left.  Would that guy, Ash, manage to arrive here on time?

As if on cue, someone suddenly sat down beside him.  He glanced at the person and saw his roommate gasping as if he's out of breath.

"You… hah… should have… hah… woken me up… hah… much earlier," Ash said still managing to complain.

Reas deemed that comment unworthy of a response. 

"Reas, didn't you hear me?" Ash added, after finally managing to collect his breath. 

"I heard.  I just chose not to answer because what you said didn't deserve one."

Ash didn't seem to be offended by that and laughed even.  "Wow.  How cold-hearted."

All of a sudden, the noisy hall suddenly quieted down.  And the only thing that could be heard was the footsteps walking towards the stage..  Reas glanced at that direction and his eyes widened when he saw the person who caused this sudden silence.
