30 New Friend

Ana walked towards the girl named Anya, stopping his morning routine that was mandated compulsory to complete, even though there weren't any instructors around to monitor the course completion; but exactly why Ana was approaching her, this girl whom Ana was supposedly seeing for the first time according to Toti, was unknown.

"Wait, Ana! Are you serious?" Toti hurriedly followed him.

"Yeah, I just want to talk to her." Ana explained his plans.

"But man, why her all of a sudden?" Toti couldn't understand why Ana was insisting on talking to Anya, a girl oftentimes called a little crazy by everyone, for conversing with her is a little difficult for many.

"I just want to talk to her." Ana said nonetheless.

"Man, listen, people are looking at us." Toti got a little anxious after seeing all the looks they were getting from everyone for walking towards the 'class weirdo'.

"I just want to talk to her." Ana said again.

"You keep saying that! But why do you want to talk to her?" Toti whispered to Ana because he didn't want others to listen in on their little conversation.

"I just want to talk to her. What more reason do I need to give?" Ana explained everything running inside his mind and approached the girl who was biting on a piece of melon bread, most likely her breakfast, and sitting aloof in the corner of the field, away from the rest of the class.

"Hello, my name is Ana Krauser." Ana went up to the girl and introduced himself.

"Aelo." The girl chewing on her bread upon seeing Ana, smiled and replied by raising both her hands and shaking them like a little child.

"I want to say that you are the second most beautiful girl I have seen in this world." Ana got down on his feet.

"Aecond?" The girl pulled her long black hair with her hands and made two ponytails.

"Yes. And that is why I propose that we be friends." Ana laid out his hand towards her.

"Sure." The girl ate up her food and immediately grabbed Ana's hand. "Ana and Anya friend."

"Yes. You're also my first friend in this academy." Ana shook Anya's hand, their handshake sealing their new friendship, a beginning of a beautiful and iconic story-

"What the!" Toti, who was speechless after seeing their totally incomprehensible conversation, finally lost it when Ana said that Anya was his first friend. "Hey, what about me-!"

"You're my buddy, Toti. You're more than just a friend." Ana didn't let Toti complete his HR complaint.

"Wha-what!!" Toti's face blushed heavily. "No, no, I can't..." He turned around and hid his face, and then softly mumbled to himself. "I already have Toti girl…"

"Buddy?" Anya asked Ana.

"Money buddy. Like an Atm machine." Ana gestured money by rubbing his index finger and thumb on each other.

"Ah!" Toti, who was too happy at Ana's previous words, suddenly turned around again and walked up to Anya, and offered his hand like a gentleman. "In that case, I want to be your friend too, Miss Anya!"

"Why do YOU have to be her friend?" Ana gave Toti a disgusted expression.

"Eh?!?!" And Toti was dumbstruck on seeing Ana's double standards.

"Sure!" But thankfully, Anya shook his hand too. "Toti, second friend of Anya."

"Ah-uh-oh thank you!" Toti, who was easily accepted, shook Anya's hand diligently.

As the trio was busy forming their new group of trust, a fourth person came in out of nowhere.

"Tch. Bunch of retards." A stranger's voice cut over the beautiful friendship making. "I expected it from you Toti but to see that even your new friend is an idiot like you makes me worry about the future of our academy."

Ana was waiting for this to happen, and just as he had predicted, the guy from earlier, whom Toti had called 'Dima', had come to bury his nose in Ana's personal matters.

"Don't say bad stuff to my friends." Anya, like a good friend, stood up and confronted Dima for insulting Toti and Ana.

"Huh? Did the monkey just talk?" Dima, as if pent up with years of frustration, turned his unjustified rage towards Anya and started to spew all his agony at once. "What kind of connections must a lousy idiotic weed have to get accepted in such a prestigious academy? Oh wait, I know! You're just here as moral support for people to feel good in case they struggle behind, I mean, there is no way anyone can be as talentless as you!"

All the surrounding students started to notice the small banter that was starting to grow big; the scene was very atypical, where two random guys approached a random girl, for which all three of them were being insulted by a fourth random guy. Naturally, people found it intriguing to view at.

"That foulmouthed devil…" Toti's hands clenched into a fist, for even a patient and kind guy like him, he had certain limits to what would be considered forgivable, and degrading a person's weak points just to justify their own narcissism was stretching it a bit too much.

"Hey, listen Toti." But Ana was different, and he was a very impatient guy. "Let's ambush him." He softly murmured to Toti while Dima was busy insulting Anya.

Toti looked at Dima, who without a sign of stopping continued to verbally attack Anya, even though she stood silent and didn't say a word in return, and it didn't take long for Toti to agree to Ana's plan. "Okay. Let's do it while he's distracted. But who's going to hit him-?"

Just as Toti was about to discuss the plan of attacking Dima, Ana picked Toti up, easily, and held him like a battering ram.

"Wha-wha-what are you doin-?" Toti was astounded at being carried like a tool.

"Your body is nice and hard." Ana was saying that Toti's body would be a good replacement for a wrecking ball.

"What, no, Ana, I need to think about this…" But Toti interpreted Ana's words differently.

However, Toti didn't have to think for too long about Ana's dual meaning words because Ana soon charged straight into Dima, who, a proud E-rank by the way, was too busy dictating who should and who shouldn't be attending the Hunter academy to Anya.

Wham

"Aaarggh!!" Dima's face contorted in pain and his body jerked back a few meters, falling on the grass, when Toti's head collided straight into his blindspot, his side back. "Arghh, what the hell are you doing?!"

He roared in rage, "You stupid dumb idiot, how dare you attack me?! Don't you know what rank I am?!"

"Aren't you just an E-eeeeeessshh" Toti was about to answer when Ana hushed him up by hitting him in the ribs with his activated aphrodisiac skill.

"What rank are you?" Ana asked Dima about his status.

"I'm a soon to be D-rank! How dare you hit me?!"

"But this guy here is already a D-eeeessssh." Toti was again about to say something when Ana stole his tongue by punching him in the abdomen with his sexy skill.

"I see. That's really scary." Ana told Dima that he was scared of his strength.

"Waow, Ana, you're so cool." Anya for some deep reason, incomprehensible to normal people, seemed to be liking Ana's attitude as she came closer to him with sparkly eyes.

"You monkeys!!!" Dima, disliking the disrespect he was being served, caught on to Ana's sarcasm and revealed his trump card. "I will call my Matriarch and punish you all!"

"Huh? But I heard that she rejected your application and you're still uncontracted, though." Toti explained Dima's background as Ana let him down.

"She-she hasn't rejected it!" Dima denied the allegations. "She's-she's only waiting till I become D-rank!"

"Sigh…" Ana was disappointed.

He thought he'd have a chance to witness a serious fight, which would help him assess the power levels in this world, but that was a pipe dream since no such thing was going to happen if guys like Dima popped up everywhere.

"Huh! Why are you sighing, new kid?! Just so you know, I have many contacts with senior hunters who will come anytime and whoop your insolent ass, you lousy-"

Such bottomless, unmeaningful insults had long back become Ana's bread and butter and that's why Ana has developed great self control in order to stay calm in such situations-

"Hah! And you also look like a stupid F-rank with no offers from any Matriarchs! Hahaha!" But Dima luckily hit Ana's forehead vein accurately, almost making it pop, that is, seduce Ana into beating the shit out of him.

Ana cracked his knuckles, ready to castrate this brat infront of him, completely ignoring Toti who was holding him back by pulling on his shirt, when…

"Best friend." Anya grabbed the hem of Ana's shirt.

Ana's rage immediately nullified upon seeing her childish soft expression.

"What is it, Anya?" He asked her why she had called him.

"What rank are you?" Anya asked him.

Ana smiled, having the perfect chance to mock the cockroach who was lying infront of them.

"I'm a D-rank." He replied to Anya before turning his head to Dima, and putting his hands in his trouser pockets. "So don't try to mess with me or I'll call my powerful matriarch." It was a warning to Dima to not mess with Ana or Dima would find his own body chopped up in pieces and wrapped in a disposable bag.

"!!!" Dima's face took a 180 degree turn instantly as his face got covered with cold sweats and a severe fear of the D-ranked guy that had just threatened his life.

Ana was all smiles on seeing this rowdy rascal shiver upon receiving his empty threats, but even he could not have predicted that someone, someone very annoyingly ambitious, other than Dima, would take his words, a tad bit too seriously.

"You have a powerful matriarch?" A petite girl with amber coloured hair suddenly joined the party.
