Chapter 1 – Mia
May 17th, 4518 A . D .
*Ziii*
In a kitchen, a pretty boy was frying eggs on a pan in his right hand, while his other hand picked up an apple from the cooling bucket nearby . The left hand squeezed the apple and crushed it into small pieces . Juices and small pieces of apple dropped down into another bucket nearby .
His left hand did not stop . He picked up another apple and repeated the same motion . Another apple was crushed into pieces .
The sunny side eggs were cooked, and the pan in the hand of the boy tossed out the eggs into the air . They flew over the boy's head, made an arc, and then dropped down with the sunny side up on the plate on the dining table behind the boy .
"Young master Mia, don't throw around the food, please . "
"Meh . Doing it normally is troublesome . Do it like this is more efficient . "
The boy, Mia, pour some water on the pan to clean a few leftover pieces of eggs . He then threw away the wastewater into the sink . Afterward, he raised the fire on the stove and threw in vegetables, sauces, soup, and seasoning into the pan . The pan was shaken later to stir everything together .
After a few minutes of frying the vegetables, the boy spoke .
"Dana . Pass me the salmon, please . "
A female android maid, who was standing beside the 100-cubic-feet refrigerator, opened the gigantic door of the fridge . She grabbed a package of large raw salmon steak, unpacked it, and passed them over to the boy .
The housekeeper android was originally a gift from Mia's parents as they were worried about their son, who was living alone in a foreign country . However, it was unnecessary because Mia did all of his everyday housework by himself . As a result, Dana ended up being there as his assistant all the time .
"Thanks!"
Mia threw the raw salmon into the air . His left hand grabbed a kitchen knife nearby and waved it toward the raw salmon . After images flashed at the midair salmon, which sliced it into small pieces . All of them dropped onto the pan .
"Actually, if young master wanted sliced salmons, you could have asked me to help you . "
"Meh, it's faster doing it this way . Cooking should be done as quickly as possible or I'll starve to death . "
"It would also be faster if you use a blender for the apple juice . "
"Meh . The juice will be too slimy . I like it with a few large apple pieces in it . "
"Also, please refrain from your habitual speech . Your friends in the previous school bullied you and called you a goat because of it . "
"… Meh . "
Mia had a habit of speaking out the word "Meh" when he disagreed with something or complained about something . When he was little, his first word was actually "Meh" instead of "Mom" or "Dad", which was the reason that he was named "Mia" .
…
…
7 . 30 AM .
Mia wore his high school uniform . It was a plain white long sleeve shirt and black pants . However, there were additional fancy bracers, chest guard, gloves, shin guards, boots, and a pressure-control helmet on top of the uniform . All of the equipment was glowing and glittering in light blue color .
All of those fancy gadgets were made of LB-Series filament, which was a common material for civilian self-protection suit as it was light, yet more durable than steel . It was first found in the year 2700 when humanity began exploring the universe . It was published later for commoners to use in the year 2850 after one of the mining company managed to secure a concession to mine on the found planet .
After putting on all of the armor pieces, his original slim and 165cm-tall statue turned into a certain engineer in a deep space horror game . It was a flying suit for the civilian to use in this era .
Mia connected all parts together with a few wire connection . Then he gave out a voice command .
"Travel mode on . "
[Travel Mode Confirmed . Air compression locked . ]
*VROOO*
With all of his preparation done, Mia picked up his prepared lunch box and shove it into his school bag . The view of the outside world came into his view after he opened the front door .
Outside, there was nothing but sky and colossus poles with buildings on top of them . He was living on a building which was built on a gigantic grey pole . Below his house, it was the raging blue sea .
The earth axis had shifted a thousand years ago . The Southeast Asian countries sunk into the bottom of the sea alongside many western countries . The massive Atlantic Ocean became a new continent instead while the America continent turned into a small continent as its east coast also sunk into the sea .
Despite the loss of their homeland, the citizens of these countries did not give up . They had constructed these poles before the shift in order to prepare for the apocalypse and save as many lives as possible . After the shift, they persisted on living these territories as these were their prided birthplace .
Years passed, some of the house owners left these pole-houses to board a space colony to find a better place to live . These places ended up being sold to wealthy families to use as their holiday resorts .
Mia's parents also bought one of the houses here as their resort . Now, Mia was staying here .
Mia turned his head around to check if there was any flying object nearby . Seeing that the sky was clear, he gave orders to his helmet .
"Scan for flight routes . Give me a free altitude and flight path to Chula High-School . "
[Scanning …]
[Scanning completed . All flight courses have been updated . ]
[List of Cleared Flight Path]
[1 . Altitude 2,000 ft . Preset Route CHS-001 . ]
[2 . Altitude 2,200 ft . Preset Route CHS-001 . ]
[3 . Altitude …]
"Pick the first option . Set course to Chula High-School . Altitude 2,000 feet . Set speed to 200mph . "
[Preset Route CHS-001, altitude 2,000 feet . Speed 200mph confirmed . ]
The boot soles gave out a vacuum sound as they propelled Mia up into the air . After it raised him up to 2,000 feet above the water level, his entire body leaned forward, and the boots gave out a loud boom . Mia's body was launched forward at a high speed .
…
After 10 minutes of flying, Mia landed on a small runway for students on the back of a school building . The signboard under the clock of the clock tower could be read "Chula High School" .
Chula High School, located in the middle of the largest artificial island . It was the most advanced high-school in this country . The competition for getting in was fierce as only a hundred from ten thousand was accepted each year .
Mia was one of the students who managed to pass the brutal entrance exam with 99% scores . It was his first day of the new semester .
After the landing, Mia identified himself to the staff at the counter . Then, he was guided by an android into a large lounge .
It was a locker room for students who came to school via a flight suit . Each locker was 2 meters tall, one meter wide, and 1 meter in deep . It was enough to store Mia's flight suit into it .
Mia took off his helmet and gears, revealing his girly face and his long curly blond hair that touched his shoulder .
Five guys in the locker room were chatting and joking around glanced at Mia with his suit . Afterward, they continued chatting because they did not care to pay any attention to him . However, when Mia took off his helmet, they had to turn around to look at Mia again in shock .
All of a sudden, the noisy locker room atmosphere became silent .
There was a reason for their surprise .
The locker rooms for students were separated by gender, and the room they were inside was a locker room for male students .
The long hair and girly face of Mia made them misunderstood that a girl was changing in the male locker room! From the five's perspective, no matter where they were looking at, all part of Mia body indicated that he was a girl .
Mia finished taking off his gears and turned around, only to find out that all eyes were fixated on his face and his body .
The social awkward Mia was embarrassed by the stares . His face reddened while he tried to cover his face .
"Umm, please don't stare so much . I'm getting embarrassed . "
His sweet melodious voice sounded out in the quiet room, which shook the heart of all listeners .
"I-I-I have found my true love …"
"T-This is an angel . "
Two guys muttered by instinct . One guy held his left chest as if he was having a heart attack . Another boy was still having a dumbstruck look while he was nose bleeding . The last dude knelt down and prayed to Mia as if he was a goddess on earth .
"Err . Excuse … me?" Mia tried to make a conversation in nervousness .
"Ugh!"
"Hhhnnng!"
The two guys, who had muttered nonsense before, held their left chest and squirmed on the ground in pain, yet their face showed signs of happiness .
Mia got more nervous as he did not know what to do to help these weird five boys .
He decided to flee the locker room to his assigned classroom with his teary eyes . He kept thinking while he was running away .
'What happened to those people had nothing to do me!'
'It wasn't my fault!'
