It was an important day for all the students with a Leo tattoo on their left hand. They were gathered in a large auditorium.
Before them was the stage on which the election for house captain and vice-captain was taking place. At the center was the statue of Leo, a creature with a humanoid boy and lion head.
It was the symbol of the Simha House. All seniors running for the House Captain election based on their contributions stood on the stage, waiting for their turn to give a speech.
Everyone was present. It was a rule to appear before time. However, just as it was time for the election to start and the previous House Captain was about to start her speech.
Out of nowhere, a figure dropped in the middle of the stage, appearing before the statue. Wearing a white mask with a blue skull pattern, his presence confused others.
Students in the audience started laughing, thinking it was comical.
"Who is this guy? I have never seen him before," asked someone in the crowd.
"I don't know; I have not seen him before," replied his friend.
"Why does his face look familiar? It's that mask and the strange cloak," said one of the newcomers.
Others also felt the same but could not guess who it was. Rishi may be famous, but not everyone has seen his face.
"Skull mask and cloak," said one of the new boys as he rubbed his chin. "Oh sh*t, it's him. Blue Skull, one of the Twin Trolls."
"Blue Skull?"
"Twin Troll?"
Some were confused, while others could guess his identity, and many became furious.
"What is he doing in Simha House? Don't tell me this guy is in our house," commented someone in the crowd.
"Tell me it's not real. How can he be in our house? Isn't our house known for its chivalry and honesty?" said the other person.
"Quiet! I want pin-drop silence here," said the house captain. She was a six-foot-tall girl with a slightly muscular physique.
She had long eyelashes, caramel-like skin, and a cut that separated her right eyebrow into two.
Her brown hair flowed as she approached the clueless, amused boy. Fury could be seen hidden deep within her yellow eyes.
"What are you doing on the stage?" She asked, as much as her hands were itching to teach this boy a lesson. He didn't want to leave such an experience when it was her last day in college.
Rubbing the hair over his neck, he apologized and explained, telling her his circumstances and showing the Leo tattoo on his left hand.
Everyone tried to control their laugh, but they burst out laughing. They had never heard something like this: "Shh." The vice-captain asked everyone to be silent.
The house captain didn't know what to say. From what she could guess, he was not lying. She was not able to think of what to do. She opened her phone and checked the information about any new students.
A profile with the name Rishi Rawat appeared before her eyes, and there was a lot of information about him on it. She looked at him as she tilted her head.
It was hard to guess this clumsy guy could be so talented. She asked the vice-captain, "When is the duel competition for the first year?"
"It's after a week," replied the vice-captain. He was a tall, black-haired boy with brown eyes.
"Add his name to the list," she said before looking at Rishi. "Do you want to run for office?"
"No," he replied. This woman had a powerful aura surrounding her. She appeared to be 21 years old, and he could tell from one look that he stood no chance against her.
"Then why are you here? Leave; stand with the other students," she said, pointing at the crowd.
Rishi stared at the auditorium and saw an empty seat thirty meters away. He used 'Shadow Blink' multiple times and reappeared there the next moment, concealing his presence.
The girl near him was taken aback when she saw him sitting beside her. Others were also surprised that his speed and concealment were on the next level.
He was not wearing a mask this time; he had also removed the cloak. This made it very hard to find him. The girl beside him was surprised, but she didn't link him with Blue Skull.
Even the ones standing at the stage were not able to find him. The house captain scanned the crowd, and her eyes locked on the silver-haired boy.
It would have been hard for her if she had not seen his real face. A smile appeared on her lips as she shook her head. 'It was an interesting new addition to Simha House.'
"Where did he go?" asked one of them.
"Who knows?" replied the other person.
"Why do you care about him? He is just a newcomer," said a senior.
The house captain gave a motivational speech, asking everyone to take care of the house in her absence.
She then left the stage. The seniors who wanted to be elected stood on the stage.
They gave speeches, starting with their introduction, qualifications, and achievements. Told what changes they would make and why they should vote for them.
Rishi was bored, as it was not very interesting to him. He noticed the vice-captain was also standing in the election to become the house captain as a candidate.
After some time, the house captain reappeared again. She asked everyone to vote. They received a link where they had to vote for one of the candidates.
Many had already decided; some were thinking hard while Rishi could be seen doing 'Inky Piny Ponky; Father had a Donky'; he selected one and voted for it.
The girl sitting beside him gave him a side eye; she could not guess what was going on inside this boy's head.
He was handsome but was wearing shades; he behaved differently from others. She saw him trying to choose one of the candidates, and she could not control her laughter.
Rishi ignored others looking at him, thinking he was weird. After some time, the results were out. The guy who was vice president had become the new house captain.
The crowd cheered and clapped; he appeared to be a popular. He thanked everyone and received the House Captain badge.
Rishi thought it was finally over and was about to stand when he heard that the election for vice-captain would be held now.
He also learned that the students who were in their final year were allowed to contest for the House Captain position. They could not become candidates and contest the Vice Captain position.
