Reina's POV
"... Now, let's start our lesson", Mrs. Catherine started the lesson, "we, the sound user can use our power for attacking enemies. As we all know, attacking is the best defense. But as a sound user, we can't just use it for fighting. Element users like us, use their power to help people. And as we know, we can control the sound well, we should use it to something useful in peaceful enviroment, such as playing music..."
Mrs. Catherine continued her lesson with her motto as main topic, 'live in a peaceful way'. I saw my classmates were getting sleepier and sleepier. So I wrote a note and passed it to Beatrice. I wrote, 'Do you know Monica Smith?'.
She wrinkeled her forehead and scribbled something on the paper. 'Why? You know her?'.
'I have to meet her.'
'She is the student council president of the sound academy! It's hard, reallyyyy hard to meet her, you see'
'Do you know how can I reach her?'
'Hmm... you have to pass Sera, the secretary first?'
'Sera?'
'Sera Phrimera. The best student the sound ac. has ever had! She is the youngest student souncil in Seinze. You can find her in 11 Sound 7'
'Thanks'
'But watch out for her--'
"Ms. Walker? Are you listening?", asked Mrs Catherine before I could read the note.
"Yes, of course, Mrs. Catherine.", I smiled, throwing the note into the dust bin under the table so that no one can see it again. Each table had one.
"Come here! Show me what I taught just now."
The students started to whiper to each other, how I won't suceed. I ignored all of them and walked to the front of the class. I could see some of my friends started to laugh at me. I took the violin Mrs. Catherine was holding. I held the violin and inhaled deeply. I closed my eyes and tried to remember what Grandpa had taught me.
The memories Grandpa gave me, his warm smile and his big hands when he taught me music rushed into my mind. When I opened my eyes, confidence was all I could felt. The nervousness that I had before had gone.
I started the play the song Grandpa used to play for me. I remember how he played it everyday and made me smile when my friends teased me because of how I laugh. I never laugh again after that, of course I laughed when I was with Grandpa, but now... I would never see him ever again. My tear dripped as soon as I remember how Grandpa died.
After finishing the song I put the violin on the teacher's table and wiped my tears off. The entire classroom was so quiet and no one reacted to my play. Maybe it was so bad that no one reacted yet. Of course it was bad! I never learnt the notes of the song, yet I still played it based on my memory of Grandpa playing only. I bowed down and walked down the stairs.
Just in time, the bell rang and I left the classroom with tears on my cheek.

I walked slowly to wherever my legs went. I arrived on the gym and heard noises from the gym. I climbed the stairs and watched from above.
There were 10 students there. From their uniform, I was sure that they were from the water academy. I watched them playing basketball and I was so mesmerized in the game until I didn't think about how Grandpa died anymore.
Huh? Is that Albert? He's playing too?
"Hey, Steven! Pass the ball! Pass it to me!", Albert said while running towards the ring. One of the enemies guarded on him but he passed him quickly.
A boy who was dribbling the ball passed the ball to Albert and Albert dunked the ball.
"YEAHHH!!", 5 of the boys, including Albert and Steven screamed. They ran all over the gym and they were laughing all the way.
Albert gave Steven a high five then they started the game again. After that, Steven made some lay up shoots and Albert made 2 three points shoots so they won the game. I screamed when the game ended and the boys looked up to see me.
"Reina?", Albert was the only one who recognised me. He jogged to where I was watching the game.
"What are you doing here?"
"It's recess so I'm free to go anywhere right?"
"Well, I won't say anything if I don't know you're HER reincarnation", he whispered.
"Anyway, you're so cool!", I exclaimed.
"It's not the time to talk about this, Reina."
"Who is she, Bert?", it was Steven.
"Oh, she's my childhood friend, Reina. Reina, this is Steven, one of my classmates. He's the brightest student in the class."
"Hello, Steven!", I smiled and put my hand out, "That was awesome! You are both so cool!"
"Oh, thanks, hmm Reina. Nice to meet you."
"Anyway, I'm going with her so please tell the others to go without me."
"What?"
"Okay, see you in class!"
"What? Why? You, him", I couldn't talk and said what I was thinking.
"Talk clearly."
"Blah! Why don't you go with him?"
"I KNOW you, Rei. So tell me, what happened."
I told him about what Cicil said to me about Monica and what Beatrice told me just now. He nodded a few times and looked like he was thinking a strategy.
"Let's go!", he pulled me out of the gym.
"Where?"
"Sound's student council room."
