Chesha

My past? You're curious about something so dull. Why do you ask? Well, fine. I'll tell you.
I was an orphan. You know that much, right? I don't know anything about my parents.
Why that expression? Did you expect some extraordinary story? Don't worry. It doesn't mean much to me.
I was wandering the streets when I was taken in by the Red Glass. At the time, Red Glass used kids without ties to handle dirty work. During my training, I awakened my Weapon and became an official member. And in the organization, I met Artnis... you know the rest, right?
About my sister? She was an executive back then. Among the members, she was called the Empress and ruled with fear. Everyone was so terrified of meeting her that they trembled like children. Honestly, I didn't believe those rumors. She was always warm to me.
One day, I saw a member heading to her room, pale as a ghost. Apparently, some subordinates had severely injured a few civilians. She despises civilian casualties. Watching him stagger to her room, I suddenly wondered why they feared her so much. So, I secretly followed.
What I saw in that room... I'll keep it a secret for her sake. Anyway, seeing that, I understood why people feared her. It was a different side from the warm smile I knew, truly the Empress.
Be careful too. Even if she seems like this now, you never know when she might revert to that side.

Do you know Chesha well? No way. Even if you search the entire academy, there's probably no one who knows Chesha well.
When Chesha first transferred, everyone was interested and approached her. Transfers are rare at the academy. So, the classmates asked her various questions, but they hardly got any answers. She skillfully changed the subject whenever it was about her.
Still, Chesha is very popular. She's truly good at everything. And she's pretty too. What? Do I like Chesha? No way!
Ahem. Anyway, Chesha is really good at everything. She memorizes things after seeing them once and always scores perfect marks on tests. She's also great at sports. She's incredibly fast and agile, yet she doesn't even break a sweat. Despite being good at everything, she seems oddly out of touch with trends. She knows about the latest books and songs, but the way she talks about them is stiff. It's like she studied trends.
This is a secret, but I once saw Chesha in a secluded alley while chasing a cat. She was surrounded by a few thugs. I was debating whether to call the guards when... Oh my! Chesha took down the punks in an instant! I swear, it was the movement of someone trained. Her arms moved so fast they were almost invisible!
I think I know Chesha's secret. A mysterious transfer student who's good at studies and sports but doesn't know much about trends, and is great at fighting. Doesn't it seem familiar? Maybe Chesha is...
a secret spy sent by the country! A special agent disguised as a student, carrying out missions at the academy! Doesn't it sound plausible? What? Stop reading those books? No, I'm sure of it!

What, meeting again? Seeing each other this often, is it all a lie that the Warden is busy? Surely you didn't skip your duties, right?
Me? I'm a top student. I wouldn't skip classes. It's just that today is a day off at the academy.
Oh, remember when I told you Camilla and her group members had a big fight over a group project? They got called to the teachers for that. I overheard them talking, and it seems Camilla got caught entering the Voidspawn's domain alone. What happened? Of course, it was chaos. Luckily, nothing happened, but it could have been a serious incident for a student. So, Camilla and her group members got a big scolding. Camilla for entering the Voidspawn's domain alone, and the group members for letting her go there.
It would have been nice if it ended with the scolding, but those fools got mad at Camilla. Saying things like, "It's your fault we got scolded by the teachers," and "Why should we get in trouble for your mistake?" Camilla shouted back, but... there's nothing she can do. She's alone.
Honestly, I was going to let it go since it's not my concern. But then I happened to see several group members trying to bully Camilla. So I stepped in. Fools. They were so surprised to see me that they ran away. That's why being a top student is great. When you're close with the teachers, you don't have to fight directly. Isn't that why I worked hard to get close to the teachers?
Why did I side with Camilla? I don't like that kind of thing. Bullying one person with a group. And I also entered the Voidspawn's domain, right? Camilla could have mentioned it, but it seems she didn't talk about me. Anyway, since I got help, I helped her too.
Friends? I didn't really do it to make friends, but... it's not bad. Should I try becoming friends with Camilla? My second friend. The first friend? Well... who do you think it is?
