Year 0073, at the edge blue ocean galaxy. Sebastian watched his daughter and the new generation began their journey to the uncharted world.
"Will she be fine on her own?" Enid held his hand.
"She's our daughter," he smiled “She’ll be fine..”
They waved at her daughter as they left the hangar bay. A monitor appeared on the closing gate showing their daughter’s ship sped up and vanished into the outer space. Good luck Tilda..
"Sebas! Enid!"
He turned around, Shanna was calling for them.
"Hey boss! Lets go! it's our turn!" Rob waved.
He and Enid joined his old companions in front of his ship. He looked at the new crest on his ship, a silhouette of a girl holding a star. They boarded their ship and went to the bridge; Rob sat on the helms. After getting their permission to depart, he reversed their ship and they left the hangar bay.
“We got our assigned sector,” said Travis “And high elder said good luck.”
"How long will it take to reach there?" asked Santi.
"About.. four months" Travis replied.
"It is a long journey," said Alexander, clutching his flower brooch "I should have bring more books."
"Don't worry, i brought lots of board games and video games," Rob grinned
Shanna giggled seeing Travis, Santi, and Alexander sighed.
“It’s time..” Enid mentioned.
Sebastian motioned his hand, "Rob! set course and activates our shield."
"Roger! Boss!" Rob steered their ship and-
"Bwahhh!" someone suddenly poked his shoulder.
Rein dropped the book he was reading and turned around to see Akane stood behind him, crossing her arms and glaring at him.
"Finally! I've been looking everywhere!"
A librarian droid flew towards them; twirling its tiny hands "one more warning.. you will be banned, indefinitely."
Akane apologized to the drone. She whispered to Rein "Lets go.. principal Varon is waiting for us.."
"Wait..." He took the book from the floor and returned it to the rack before following her; the drone was keeping an eye on them.
On the way out of the library, the underclassman were mumbling and some pointing at them.
"Look! those are the seniors who just graduated few days ago," one of them said.
"Wow.. i can't wait to lead my own team.." said a girl to her friend.
"Aw! man! I’m still twenty, i can’t wait to be twenty five.." a boy looked devastated.
The droid flew around the library, giving all of them a warning. Even the instructor who tried to stop the droid got a warning too.
Rein and Akane quickly fled the library because they have caused quite of commotion; the droid called it peers and thrown the instructor out of the library.
Rein saw his other classmates were waiting in front of the principal office.
"Oh! you found him." said Bulan
"Where did you found him?" Raphael flicking his long blonde hair.
Anton who stood beside the door smirked at him "Must be at the library eh? reading that Wishes Star's journal," he knocked the door and said "Sir! Rein's here."
"Come in," Principal Varon replied.
They entered the office and saluted the principal. Principal Varon stood up from his seat and gave them their wristwatch. Rein enthusiastically checking his new watch, a symbol of becoming an explorer.
"I am so proud of all of you," Principal Varon smiled "Now.. use your watch to register your team name and your team emblem, i believe i had already told you to come up with both few days ago."
"Yes, sir!" said all of them.
"Good," he sat at his desk and steepling his hands, his glasses glows as he gazed at the monitor in front of him.
Rein typed Wishing Star on his watch and was glad it got accepted. He always wanted to named his team similar to his hero team name.
"Hmm.. Wishing Star.." said principal Varon "I knew you held them highly. i hope you'll be able to leave a mark in history just like them, Mr. Barret."
"Thank you, sir!" Rein began drawing his crest.
A loud beeping.
"Pick another name, Mr. Smirnov," Principal Varon told Anton.
Rein glanced at the other. Beside Anton, the other were done registering their team name.
"Chandi Light, that really suits you, Miss Purnomo." praising Bulan. He stared at the monitor for few moment and at Raphael "That's a.. well.. it- it's a unique name Mr. Callum.." he glanced at Akane "Uh.. Miss Engel? Star Keychain?" he looked puzzled "Well.. i did say to come up with any name.. but then again.. this wasn't the first time student chose a unique name, ah! yes! like those Crystal Boys."
"Crystal Boys?"
"That's a really cool name," said Raphael.
"Really, Raph? your taste is weird," said Bulan.
"Noct Cerilium, he's one of my student. He and his classmates, they were the most bizarre students i had ever taught," said Principal Varon "Suddenly wanted to formed a single team instead of leading their own," he shook his head "I have few pictures of them," Principal Varon rotated his screen.
They looked at the screen. A group of people posing in front of a weird looking vehicle. He never seen that kind of vehicle before, although it looked similar to the old car from earth he read on a book.
"This is Noct Cerulean" Principal Varon pointed the cool looking guy standing on the middle while crossing his arm. Beside him was another cool looking guy adjusting his spectacle, on his right was a huge guy who was flexing his large biceps, and a scrawny guy with spiky hair smiling at the camera. There were also two ladies on the picture, the lady with the white dress was so beautiful.
"Why they picked crystal boys name when there are women on their team?" asked Bulan.
"These two joined years later. This is Gladius' little sister, while the other one-" he pointed at the really beautiful lady "She is Noct' girlfriend, Adelaine." The principal looked a bit shaken when he said that "She resembled her mother, she's the most beautiful girl i had ever met.." he suddenly stood up from his seat, arm raised " Alissa! why you chose that rascal and not me!"
Rein was shocked, so does his friends.
Principal Varon glancing at them and was petrified, his face turned red "Ehemm, It's almost evening," he quickly sat down on his desk "continue with your register.."
"Whose the rascal, sir?" asked Anton.
"That's not important, Mr Smirnov!" his face turn even redder "What's important now is for you to finished your register, you haven't come up with a name yet."
Rein chuckled before continued drawing his crest. He drew a fairy holding a star on her palm. It is awful.. nevertheless he registered his drawing. Next he has to picked colors for his ship. Hmm.. white, gray and blue.. He submitted the color and closed his watch. He looked around. Anton finally got his team name while the others were still choosing their ship colors.
Moments later, his friends were finally done. A beeping sound coming from his watch, it was his departure schedule. His ship will be ready at tomorrow noon. A knocked on the door, Principal Varon told them to come in. Instructor Lemone entered and she distributed their leadership badge with their drawing on it. Rein examined it and noticed they had touched up his horrible drawing, it looked awesome now; the others were also admiring their badge
The principal stood up from his seat. "You five.. good luck on your journey. I am eager to hear your accomplishment," he smiled.
Principal Varon gave them a salute. Rein and his classmates saluted back before leaving his office. On the way out of the academy, they met their instructors who wished them good luck on their journey.
Rein and the other exited the gate. He stopped to looked back at the academy, he smiled and bowed at the building, Thank you he murmured.
"Rein?" Akane called him. The others were looking at him.
"Coming!" He joined his friends.
“So.. what are we going to do now?” Bulan clasped her hands.
Akane suggested "How about we go watch the sunset."
“Great idea! Let’s go,” said Bulan.
"Sorry," Raphael shrugged his shoulder "but my departure is tonight and i haven't pack my belonging yet."
“It’s only until the sun set..” said Akane.
Anton checked his watch "It's almost five."
"We should hurry then!" Bulan smiled "Come on! Raph!" she pushed Raphael.
He sighed "Alright, alright, stop pushing me."
Bulan giggled "lets go!" and she ran ahead.
Anton and Raphael followed behind her.
"Lets go, Rein," said Akane
"Okay."
