Chapter One: Shō!

The events in this story is set approximately 685 years before the current time; and it is centered around Hiroya's time while in the Shinō Academy.

Prologue
A blonde man was unexpectedly showed against the wall as a Senior student forced his way trough the crowd in order to reach what had no doubt got to be an important class, others too were in a similiar state of disarray and they openly protested to this rude treatment; although the offender had long since dashed by the corner and out of hearing range.

The blonde however, didn't seem to care much about this rough treatment, he could understand the need and the eagerness that boiled within the hearts of his fellow students - everyone wanted to be a hero after all; and everyone wanted to learn whatever the could while in their Academy - he knew that most of his fellow students secretly awaited the day while they could save a helpless damsel in distress from a big bad Hollow; Hiroya faintly recalled having read something similiar in a book once. Though the memory was so weathered and misty that he dismissed them as nothing more than a dream.

Dismissing these thoughts Hiroya leaned down to the floor in order to pick up the notes that had been knocked out of his hands just earlier; he made sure to hide them quickly - he didn't want others to see his personal notes and scribbles on Kidō spells just yet; he knew all too well that he as a mere Academy Student was not strictly supposed to be devising new spells and questioning the stone-held beliefs that well-respected Kidō Masters had used centuries on perfecting.

His latest discovery had been one of limited importance, though he had long suspected that several others had managed to accomplish much of the same. His discovery was the art of restricting spells to accomplish something much smaller than what they were supposed to be - this discovery was likely overseen due to the fact that Kidō Spells were largely meant to be as powerful as at all possible.

For Hiroya's needs however it was almost an irreplacable talent to have and using a customized Kyokko spell to hide the notes from anyone other than he himself he proceeded to make his way towards the library. To be continued...
