Duo Of Chaos

Chapter II: Orientation

Senku Ishigami

I willed myself to pay attention, to stay awake during this lecture. All of the new students had found spots to sit, scattered amongst the cushions and chairs. Others were already falling asleep -even Y/n was nodding off- but I was determined to learn everything I could soon. I was new to this world of magic and if I didn't catch up soon, I would fall behind, ten billion percent.

I'm already making mental maps of the layout of the school, making sure to engrave the directions of all important landmarks in my mind. Then comes the truly confusing part: the explanation of why we're all here.

"And to those who haven't grown up with this knowledge, I'm sure you're wondering what you're doing here." A loud voice responds with a yes near the back of the room. "You have magic somewhere inside of you. It may be locked deep down, but my testers have found you hold magic and that is what brought you here. You are all special and needed in the world of magic." Their words seem to resonate with everyone. To me, it just sounded creepy. Testers? They must have been observing us for a long time so they must know plenty about us.

"Now!" They clap their hands and everyone sleeping pulls themselves awake. "Onto the rooming areas. Each section will have a returning student leader so ask them any questions you may have."

Y/n waves her hand above her head, yawning and attempting to disguise the sleepiness on her face. "How will we be split up?"

"You'll be placed in groups that will likely end up with strong friendships. Those of you who knew each other beforehand will most likely end up in the same area together."

Y/n grins, looking at me. She's been surprisingly bubbly since we got here, which is logical considering she grew up around these things. I didn't. I'm too used to knowing a shit ton about my surroundings, and now I know next to nothing.

I crack a smile. This is exhilarating.

Author's Note: Unsurprisingly, I cannot write Senku to save my life, but I will try my best. I'm sort of drawing inspiration from my interpretation of Senku from Mini-Mimi's "The Perfect Blend" on Quotev. Check it out if you haven't read it yet; it's my favorite Dr. Stone x reader fic I've ever read! Things will pick up a bit by the next chapter, so stay tuned!
