[h1][color=0072bc]Saito Tajima[/color][/h1]

One by one, flash after flash, Saito's classmates arrived in front of the school. It was bewildering seeing so many people appear out of thin air at first, but Saito had just done the same, so he didn't spend too much time marveling at the spectacle. The first boy to arrive after him looked even less pleasant than the first. He approached the group, looking like he just got into a fight, and demanded to know where he was. [i][color=0072bc]Crap...[/color][/i] Saito thought, and he instinctively took a step back when Arden approached. The last thing he wanted was to get into a fight on his first day here, and this guy, even beaten up as he was, looked like he would pound Saito right into the ground. 

"We're at the magic school," a cheerful voice replied. Saito turned his gaze towards Umi, the first person to show up without a dour expression. She seemed nice enough. Of course, people would often act nice just so they could take advantage of you, but he had no reason to mistrust her... yet. He hesitated, then opened his mouth to introduce himself, but the next girl, Nakana, beat him to the punch. Another friendly voice that seemed perfectly happy to be here. Two consecutive cheerful people? [i][color=0072bc]Maybe this won't be so bad after all,[/color][/i] Saito thought. [color=0072bc]"H-hello,"[/color] he began in a soft, meek voice, barely audible over the rustling of the leaves in the wind. [color=0072bc]"I'm--"[/color]

"I'm Chiya, but you can call me Chi!" They must not have heard him. It didn't seem like the third girl was trying to talk over him. Then again, maybe she already decided that she didn't like him and was trying to get him to shut up. He'd just wait until she was done... And then a fourth girl showed up. Saito waited silently for them all to make their introductions. He counted to three in his head. [i][color=0072bc]One, two, three...[/color][/i] Once it seemed like everybody was done talking for the moment, he filled his lungs with air, and let forth his mighty introduction. [color=0072bc]"I'm Saito."[/color] It was about half as loud as Nakana's introduction, and a quarter as cheerful. But, at least they were sure to here it this time... right?
