A red-haired boy stared out at the sea as the boat bobbed along the waves. It's destination, Kamui Island is not far away and he was eager to get off the boat and start his mission. It never gets easy to be away from his family or his handler and to be thrusted into situations that could potentially outs his secret. But for now, he wants to be left alone until he got to the school and 'Happy' will automatically take over like he usually does for social settings.

Thankfully, it doesn't take long for the boat to dock. As he was walking to the school, he paused to admire the town which is old fashion.

"Happy would love this. This town feels cozy." Arata muttered to himself.

"It's emulating the townscape of the 1960's."

Arata tensed and slowly turned to the side where a blond boy was staring ahead with a pad in his hands. He forced himself to remain calm. "Oh. And you are? I think I saw you on the boat. I'm Sena Arata."

"Hoshihara Hikaru."

Arata tilted his head as he had heard his name before but could not remember where. Maybe Happy knew. He shrugged and continued on to the school. After a while, Hikaru glanced up and realized that Arata was ahead. Reading Arata's info again, he scoffed. Mediocre was the best way to describe the red head. The tournaments that Arata participated in were not renowned and obscured. But still qualified to allow him to enroll in the academy.

"And within the last three months too." Hikaru noted the dates of the tournaments. He raised an eyebrow and glanced at the receding back of the red head. He had to keep an eye on him despite his mediocre record, he decided.

Eventually, both boys arrived at the school. Despite Arata's head start, he allowed Hikaru to catch up and they went through the customs at the front gate to verify their identities. They were then told to hand over their LBX, CCM and any other electronic devices. Once done, they were brought to the class.

Along the way, he felt the familiar feeling of dizziness and slowly blacking out. Blinking, his eyes became brighter and grinned cheerily as Happy fronted. He was slightly aware that Hikaru was eyeing him suspiciously. And for the rest of the day, Arata allowed Happy to take over and get to know his classmates while he watched through his eyes to keep an eye for any sign of the illegal LBX battling ring he was investigating. He was aware that Hikaru was suspicious about the sudden change in personality but Happy can wave it off as being shy earlier.

He tensed when he felt something stirring at his corner of the system. Skimming through it, he winced when he realized it was Violent.

Violent was an alter that he did not want coming forth. He was unpredictable and could potentially jeopardize his investigations about the battling ring and Happy's relationships with his classmates. Thankfully, after briefly scanning their surroundings through the body's eyes, he seemed satisfied by what he saw and retreated back. Arata sighed in relief and resumed watching while keeping an eye on Violent in case he resurfaced.

Over at the Swan Manor, many Rossius students were taking advantage of the weekend and clear weather to catch up on their school work or plan for their upcoming missions. Muraku had decided to do his school work outside and enjoy the warm wind at the same time.
