“Everyone, May I have attention, were here now in the front gate of Gaia.” The Guide, Emily speak out loud to announce their arrival to Gaia, She wake up all those who are sleep specially Mira wake up from the loud announcement. “Welcome to Gaia.” When Emily said that on the timing of the gate opening, she start explaining the history of Gaia, “100 year ago, Gaia was build for a military fortress against the upcoming war, but after the war, Gaia was abandon because lack of fund to the soldier and maintenance however in the 50th year, when Ether is build, the city renovate the whole Island into a school Institute for student to learn without interference on outside world.” After the Bus enter Gaia, the bridge sink down to the sea and the gate close. The explanation continues, “Right now Gaia have eight area, area 1 is the main gate, where we exit or enter Gaia, area 2 is where the middle school level study, area 3 is where the high school level study, area 4 is where the college level study, area 5 is where worker training for 1 month and a helipad for transferring worker in-training by chopper, area 6 is a shopping district where you buy some school supplies or food, area 7 is a Girl’s dorm and area 8 is a boy’s dorm.” A screen display the area’s in the island and the size of it. It’s about 500 mile wide and has the shape to an Octagon. The Guide is about to speak her last announcement, “Too all student please go to their school levels for attendants and registration, Thank you for riding Gaia Transport.” The entire passenger got out the bus and go to their designated level. Mira ahead to area 3 were her school level be, “your registration ID please.” Mira took out her ID card for verification to registrant, he get the ID card and inserted in a CPU that is connected to the Main Computer of Gaia then the information appear on the monitor. “Your name is Mira Lycoris, 2nd year high school, Valedictorian and the leading student of Gaia, Wow! It’s a pleasure to meet you Miss Lycoris.” The Registrant was surprise to meet a top ace in Gaia, “Thank you and enjoy schooling in Gaia.” Mira nod and take her ID card, she goes to her new class 2-A. The teacher come shortly and introduces, “I am Giovanni Webner. I will be your homeroom and Modern History teacher.” He started to check attendance, one by one he shout out their last name. “Collin! Here, Derek! Here, Ramous! Here, Helena! ...., Emily Helena!” still no one answer, “Hmm, absent in the first day of class.” Then a girl suddenly comes in, “so sorry I’m late!” The look at the late student and said “what your name miss?” The late girl reply, “Emily Helena”, Giovanni fixes his glass and said, “Miss Helena, good thing this only a class attendance, if this were a bus going to Gaia, your going to start force manual labor again.” Emily gone pale after hearing that,” sorry, I’m really sorry, it won’t happen again, I swear.” From everybody point of view, she look like about to cry. “Ok, take your seat before you make a scene here.” The strictly order her then she obediently go to her seat. After Giovanni taking attendance, he look at his wrist watch and said, “Its time for the principal speech.” He takes out a remote in his pocket then presses a button to lift the black board and show a 50 inch LCD flat screen television that it showing a middle age man sitting in his office. “Good Morning to old & new student of Gaia, I am Erik Von Atlas, the principal and the owner of Gaia.” The principal finish his introduction and he begin to make his speech, “This century of youths are truly aggressive, some become out laws while other are victim of there dark ways, that why Gaia was rebuild to bring back the discipline and respect, honor and wisdom to the youths and to the world of man kind, who are eroding from chaos. My children of Gaia let! Bring this chaotic world to a new order!” The speech was watch and heard to the whole island. Giovanni clapping with full of joy, but the others clap softly. (“That kind of speech is not a school principal speech, more like military dictator speech.”) Mira thought about it. She observe the reaction of her classmates, they all have the same facial expression, a bitter smile. (“Look like I’m not only the one who thinks about it.”) The teacher closes the television and put back the blackboard the way it was, “Ok everyone, by tomorrow class will start so don’t be late, Dismiss.”Everybody stand up and leaving the room. “Oh! Miss Lycoris.” Mira was called, “What is it teacher Webner?” she ask, “Ok, be straight with you, can you take care miss Helena as your room mate?”
