Why would we forfeight to some destiny? Choice all the way.
Private introspection to sort out events, training in the highest voted of our two weapons, training in our ARC, which is at zero right now, and meeting our dormmates and going to bed early so we have plenty of rest for whatever we do ttommorow.

I like the original plan, but after just having our world turned upside down, i feel like we really need to talk to someone who can help us cope with it. Meeting all our classmates would just be extra stress on top of everything else, and we can deal with that in the morning. Finally, charisma is great, but right now we should probably make sure we at least have the basics of our weapons down.

Found this, got interested, wanting to try and make an anime-ish quest of my own, now voting. Seems like a nice quest.

Alright, Thoughtful Approach wins! An open mind is always filled with possibilities...Though, are you unsure about Fate? Don't worry, that can be fixed.
You take a deep breath as you stand before the gates of your dorm.
The 4 stories tall building made you uncomfortable at the sight, not for anything wrong with the building in particular, but more because... Well, because you will be staying here for an entire month with strangers that probably know more about how does this whole system the principal has works, and that you are still evaded by that man's motives.
'Still,' you think 'It's not like I actually have a choice...' Technically, you did have a choice, it's just that the alternative to this might be endangering your family, friends and others once you reach home, and that's discounting the issue if the principal is actually as 'generous' as he portraits himself as.
Even more, after a while of meditation and regaining your composure, you decided to interact with your co-habitants, not being sure if ignoring them during your whole stay would be a particularly good idea.
Sure, you might be able to avoid them for an actually pretty long time, considering that you are extremely good at the art of disappearing in the background, but you doubt that it would be the wisest course of action with the possibility of both being attacked by Shadows, and your lack of actual knowledge of how both your abilities and this whole place work.
With this in mind, you take a last breath...
'Inhale, exhale...'
-And open the doors to the dorms.
The place is... pretty much what you expected from a student dorm; there's a somewhat big, square table with a few chairs around it on the background, a couch with that is looking toward a TV, with another smaller table separating both, a few meters away from the entrance, a set of stairways that go up to the rooms of the inhabitants and another that goes down to the basement (hopefully it isn't one with a 'dark secret' kind of deal, but at that point you might just be acting paranoid), and, right at the side of the entrance, there's a receptionist desk with a male student as his occupant.
The student, you noticed, has a dark blue hair and eyes, and a drowsy expression on his face. He was wearing a lavender sweater with long sleeves on top of a white shirt with a collarbone.
He hasn't noticed you yet, clearly too focused on actually not falling asleep to do that.
There is only other person in the lobby aside from you and the boy; A girl with black hair and twin tails that is reading a book on the table in the background.
[] Try to talk to the boy: He looks pretty tired, but he appears determined to not fall asleep... He could need a little hand on that prospect, if you are honest. [] Try to talk to the girl: You... aren't sure about either of them, so you will go for the one that doesn't look like it's about to fall asleep at the slightest push.
The night was pretty quiet, it seemed that the other students living in the dorms either had came back way too late, or were already asleep, so there wasn't much activity on that front.
Still, it is a new day, and with a new day, came things like going to class.
It is comforting that your normal life wasn't over just yet, just... changed. In a big way.
As you walk through the corridors and the hallways in direction to your classroom, you are able to look at the rest of the students living their lives just as usual.
'Do they know...?' That is your biggest question right now, if you are being honest; how much people here know about the Awakened? How many of the people here are actually Awakened? Most? Only a few? How could it be a secret if they were only a few?
You honestly don't have an idea, and thinking so hard without reaching an answer is giving you a headache.
Focusing on anything else, you take a look at your uniform: a white shirt, a necktie, a vest, and pants are the uniform for the male students; a serafuku is the one for the female ones.
The dress code of Soyokze is kinda lax; as long as you are using the baseline uniform, you can pretty much adorn it as much as you like, as long as it doesn't break any norms of conduct or decency.
Looking down at your own style, you are... pretty much a baseline student, yet again; you have a feeling that you aren't going to stand out from the nameless, faceless masses this year either.
'Well, that's fine,' You tell to yourself 'I'm not a social person anyway...' You definitely aren't sulking.
Not even a little.
Anyone who says otherwise is a liar.
...Still, you finally reach your classroom, the 2-C class, to be more specific.
And it seems that there's someone waiting on the doorway to the inside.
"Ah, so you're here early." The man has grey hair and eyes, is wearing a simple black dress shirt with a red necktie on it "I'm Souji Yonaka, your teacher for this year and all that stuff." The man's voice is somewhat gruff, but he sounds relaxed.
"Also," the man, Mr. Yonaka, continues in a whisper "Know that not many people here know about Awoken and Shadows and all that stuff, be careful."
You are somewhat surprised by this, after all, if the Shadows go for anyone that has ties to an Awoken, and they do it regularly, how do they keep the secret? Still, attempting to not show any of that in your face, you simply nod and go along with him inside the classroom.
You are asked to introduce yourself, and you take note of some notable students outside the ones you've seen in the dorm while you are at it: A male student with red hair and a happy grin on his face, a female with blond hair and a rather uninterested look in her face, another male student with green hair and a relaxed aura coming from him, and finally a female student with gray hair and what could only be described as a permanent Poker Face.
...After your introduction, things proceed as normal up until lunch.
You sigh as you exit the classroom.
You have yet to eat your lunch, but eating it inside, with so many people around you, talking among each other about this and that... It just kinda made you uncomfortable.
And a little bit self-conscious, if you are being honest.
Still, you have always liked eating in the outside, it kinda helped you when you needed to think about things.
Needless to say, there's quite a few things you need to process right now.
You could go to the courtyard, but the sound of others talking and making friends among each other would make your pseudo-meditation quite harder... And also making you even more self-conscious.
So, what is the other place to eat on the outside but with fewer people to distract you? The roof, of course!
With that in mind, you've made your way to the rooftop on with your lunch, and open the door that leads outside.
You realize quickly, though, that you aren't the only one here.
The other person up here is...
[] ...The student with red hair: As it seems, you weren't the only one who thought of eating here, but at least he doesn't seem bothered by this, judging by his friendly wave at you. [] ...The student with blonde hair: She is, apparently, pretty focused on her notebook, writing down furiously on it. She doesn't seems to have realized your presence. [] ...The student with green hair: He appeared to be relaxing up here before you came, but he doesn't appear annoyed by your presence, he is actually offering you to sit beside him. [] ...The student with gray hair: Well, this is awkward. She is over there, frozen by your arrival, and at her side is a cat eating her food.
Well, it is a social update, it seems.
I wasn't able to make the training parts into this; I wasn't able to put them in organically with the rest.
They will be on the next one, don't worry about it!
Also, this are the uniforms, in case my capabilities to write descriptions about clothes were lacking (which they probably were, if I'm being honest), this is also the appearances of the two students in the dorms.
[X] Try to talk to the girl: You... aren't sure about either of them, so you will go for the one that doesn't look like it's about to fall asleep at the slightest push. [X] ...The student with green hair: He appeared to be relaxing up here before you came, but he doesn't appear annoyed by your presence, he is actually offering you to sit beside him.

Honestly I'm split between red-man and silver-dudette on who to have lunch with. Also, nice chapter OP.
