The Principal of Astralliz University walk towards the podium and starts preparing for his speech.
"Pleasant morning to our dear students of the Astralliz University, I am Principal Carter Evans Von'Cloude. It is my honor to welcome you all here. First and foremost I would like to give you all my deepest gratitude for choosing to spend your time with us, as we embark in another year full of challenges, failures and successes. "
"My hopes are high that we will be able to witness everyone, flourish and grow. This university is founded in the dream of providing quality education and guidance to support our students in their exciting journey in life... "
The principal keeps going on His speech. Meanwhile at Kiyan's seat, Rose who seemed bored, ignored the speech.
"Hey Kiyan, what do you think of Astralliz?" The bored Rose whispered to Kiyan.
"Hmmm... I must say the school is quite nice in my opinion"
"Are you into studying or what? Ugh... Wanna ditch school after this ceremony?"
"Are you serious?? It's the first day of school and you're thinking of ditching classes??"
"Why not? It would be fun~"
A serious looking male student with a short black hair with green eyes, approaches Rose.
"Can you shut up you little dimwit?! I'm trying to listen here!"
"Mo-oh~ your being mean to me again Shin!"
"Just shut up for a moment, Rose you're causing a ruckus you know?"
"Fine!"
"What's your name transfer student?"
'He noticed immediately that I'm not from here'
"Kiyan Feit"
"I'm Shin Narukami, Shin is fine. Allow me to apologize for the disturbances that Rose caused"
"No no it's fine, really. nice to meet you Shin"
"Likewise"
The Principal is still not finished on his speech. The students are getting bored and annoyed.
Girl at the backseat: "How long is he going to keep talking about nonsense?!"
Boy at the backseat: "I don't know, all things that he's saying are just the same"
"I know right we're just going in circle"
The Principal keeps talking and seems like he reached the end of his long speech...
"That's all I want to say, I hope all of you experience a wonderful school life here at Astralliz!"
*Student claps* *clap*
"FINALLY, I CAN GO DITCH MY CLASS!"
"Not so fast Rose"
*Whack*
"Ahhhhckkkk.."
Shin knocks Rose down but quickly catches her in his arms, leaving Kiyan shocked by what just happened.
"You saw nothing right?"
"I guess, haha..." Kiyan laugh nervously.
"Come with me Kiyan"
"Where are we going?"
'I hope he's not asking for help to bury Rose's body...'
"We're going to the student council office"
'Student council office, Claire is in there right? Knowing that she's in there makes me somewhat relieved'
"Sure Shin, I'm right behind you"
Kiyan and Shin (Rose?) leaves the auditorium.
"I know that you're wondering why I put Rose into 'sleep'. I'll tell you everything once we arrive at the office"
'of course I'm curious! Who knows if I am the next target?...'
"Are you a member of student council Shin?"
"You can say that I am a member. We're going to the 3rd floor that's where the office located"
"You seems to have a lot of stamina, you carry Rose like you're holding nothing at all"
"I'm used to this, there's nothing to be surprised of"
'used to what? Carrying bodies?...' Kiyan said on his thoughts
"I see" Kiyan replied.
The two of them walk until they reach the office.
(Few moments earlier)
Claire who's idling at student council office receives a call from someone.
*Beep beep*
"Hello, Claire are you there? This is Mari"
"Yes, I'm here Mari, I'm at the school right now. What's the matter?"
"I'm sorry, but there are magic wolves near on your location"
"!!! There's a ceremony happening here. I'll go handle it. Where are they?"
"If I recall correctly, I sensed the monsters marching toward the school gate."
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
" Thanks for the information Mari. I'll go now"
"Take care, Claire"
*Beep beep*
Claire leaves the student council room and rushed to the location of magic wolves.
"This is strange... definitely strange! Why are they appearing in the morning? Mana monsters only show up at night, so why are they wandering now? I must finish them quickly."
Meanwhile, at Kiyan and Shin's end, they arrived at the student council office. Shin opened the door and greeted
"Morning, Clai—strange, why isn't Claire here?"
'Yeah that's strange Claire told me I can always find her here. WHERE IS SHE WHEN I NEED HER! I'M ALONE HERE WITH A MURDERER!' Kiyan started shaking.
Shin put down Rose on the couch. And he sits on the chair.
"Do you plan to stand there all day? Come on, have a seat"
The anxious Kiyan sat in front of Shin.
"Is Rose going to be okay?"
"Huh? Of course She's okay, I just knocked her out "
"I see, why'd you do that though?"
"Obviously, she's going to ditch class. Also Claire wanted to say something to us"
(Astralliz's Entrance Gate)
"There you are filthy wolves "
Claire said with a angry expression and a bright glow of light covered her hand. A beautiful Sabre was summoned. That Sabre is Claire's regalia.
"A small group of white wolves with fierce eyes stood in front of Claire. Each wolf had a blue mana crystal embedded in its forehead."
"Let's get this over with" Claire charges to the wolves.
*Roaaaarrrgghh!!!!*
*Shingg— Shhrccng—*
She Slices off the head of the wolves swiftly and every move she make are so graceful that feels like she's dancing.
*Shingg—*
*Greeeuuueeghhh*
A wolf pounces to Claire and she avoided the wolf's attack. She aimed for the wolf's head and slashed it with a gracefull attack.
*Shiinnngg—*
*Pant pant*
"I-Is that all of them? I'd better head back"
The bodies of the dead magic beasts disappear in thin air without living a trace and Claire head back to the office.
Meanwhile at the office, Kiyan and Shin are sitting on a chair waiting for Claire to return.
*Shuuug thug*
Someone opened the door, Kiyan and Shin turned their head to the person at the door.
"Welcome back Claire" Kiyan said
"Where you've been you've been? Something happened?" Shin asked
"Thanks, sorry I went outside. I had to take care of some business. And yes Shin, something happened."
"Really?? What is it?."
'I didn't know what they're talking about' Kiyan remained silent
"Mari called me earlier and notified me that she sensed a group of magic wolves marching here at the university. So I confronted them"
" How many did you encountered? and Why didn't you contact us for back up?"
"I didn't call you guys because you're in a ceremony plus it's just a small group of wolves"
"I'm sorry for interrupting but what's this magic wolves thing? Monsters? Please explain it to me"
"I let you explain Claire" Shin sits by the window
*Ahem*
"All that you've heard earlier is true, Kiyan, but the thing is, those monsters only appear at night. We call them 'abominations of mana.' Under some strange circumstances, they appeared in the morning."
" How do you defeat those monsters Claire? You use weapons or magic or any some sort of things?"
" We use magic sometimes but mostly we used our 'REGALIA'"
' I can't even catch up on the current situation and then there's another. Give me a break '
" So you're telling me that magic really do exist on our world? "
" Yes magic exists, but only few can control their own mana " Claire cast a fire spell on his hand.
" You can really use magic! WOW... Also what is this regalia thing?"
" Regalia is a item that you can summon, it can be a weapon or any item also your regalia's appearance will reflect on your personality."
' so it's like a buff on the game I played'
"What's your regalia Claire?"
"Lock the door"
Kiyan locked the door and get back to his seat.
Claire summons a bright light on her hand and a Sabre emerges on her hands.
Kiyan is flabbergasted on what he just witnessed.
' I'm speechless... She summoned a weapon out of nowhere '
" This is my regalia a Silver Sabre “
" Wow... Hey Claire do you think I have magic too or a regalia? "
"I can't confirm that yet. But we'll help if you want to learn to control your mana and master magic. As for your regalia... I can't promise that you'll be able to possess one."
"I want to learn, please teach me and is there a possibility that I don't have regalia?"
"I'm afraid to dissapoint you but yes, there's a chance. I'll make this short for you, in this world all living beings does have a mana on their body. "
"Everyone with mana can use magic but not everyone who's able to use magic possesses a regalia."
"How can I manifest a regalia?"
"You can only manifest your regalia once you mastered your own mana"
" I see, I'll try my best please guide me"
"That's why were here, seems like you've met Shin and Rose already, things are going to be smoothly now. Also why's Rose sleeping on the couch?"
Kiyan got silent and looked to Shin.
" I knocked her out at the auditorium, She's trying to ditch class again so I made the call of knocking her."
" Why are you guys so noisy? " Said by Rose who just woken up
" Are you okay Rose?" Kiyan said slightly worried
" ME?! OKAY?! SHIN KNOCKED ME OUT, I ALMOST DIED EARLIER!! " Rose shouted
"Please lower your voice when you're at the office"
" Claire is here? I'm sorrryyyy... I got carried away"
"Thanks for calming her down" Shin said while sitting on the window
" Anyways since everyone is here including you Kiyan. I won't introduce them to you since you guys are already know each other. "
"My concern is the appearance of magic beasts in broad daylight; that's our priority for now. I wonder what's causing this. Shin and Rose, prepare for a operation tonight. We're going to patrol around the city. You can come along Kiyan, if you want but stay behind us."
' I wonder if I have magic or a regalia '
"Yes, I'll come too"
"That's good to hear, is that clear everyone?"
" Yes ma'am" the three of them said.
"One more thing, Kiyan you said when you arrived here at Estelle City a Woman told you about the location of the café right?"
"Yes but why are you asking me that now?"
"That's Rose and Shin on a patrol duty"
' no wonder when I first saw Rose at the auditorium I felt that we've met before, but her appearance is so different '
" Why their appearance are much different if that's them? "
" Hehehe~ that's my magic, my magic is disguise. I can change my appearance or someone else's "
" So you mean that big guy on the street is Shin that you put a disguise on? "
" Exactly!! You're so sharp"
" Tsk what time we'll meet later tonight Claire?" Shin said
"The usual time, around 10pm at Mari's Café"
"Understood"
" You better go to your classrooms now or I must say classroom. You three are on the same class and your section is Class 2-F."
'what a surprise, or she arranged this... '
"Yayyyy!!! Let's go Kiyan, Don't act I forgive you already Shin hmpph!"
"Whatever you say Rose" Shin replied
"We're leaving now Claire, see you later" Kiyan said
" Goodluck you three on class. "
The three of them left the student council office and headed to their classroom. Shin and Rose entered the classroom and Kiyan left standing outside the door waiting for their homeroom teacher.
A woman wearing a glasses with a short brown hair and beautiful orange eyes walks towards Kiyan.
" Are you Kiyan Feit? " The woman asked
" Good morning, Yes ma'am. "
" I'm Herschel the homeroom teacher of Class 2-F. I'll go inside the room so I can introduce you to others."
*Shuuuu thug* sliding door noises
"Good Morning Class, I'm Ms. Herschel Oland just call me Ms. Herschel. I'd like to Introduce to you our transfer student, Please enter the room."
Kiyan opened the door of the classroom and walks beside of Ms. Herschel. Kiyan faced on his classmates and saw Rose waving her hand and Shin looking at him.
"Now would you like to introduce yourself " Ms. Herschel said.
" Oh sure, My name is Kiyan Feit and I am 19 years old"
Girl's talking
"He's quite cute and handsome"
"I know right, I wonder if I can be friends with him"
"He's okay but my love on Shin will never end"
"Quiet down ladies, you see Mr. Kiyan here is talking. Now proceed Kiyan, sorry for interrupting "
" I am from a town far away from here. I just moved here on Estelle City yesterday. I hope we all can get along." Kiyan bowed his head.
"Thank you Mr. Kiyan, your seat is on the last row near on the window beside of that girl with a pink hair"
Ms. Herschel points her finger at Rose and Shin is in front of my seat.
' that's some nice sitting arrangement'
I sat down on my seat and Rose whispered to me
"Hey famous guy, don't get so cocky that you've got all the attention of the class on your first day"
"Don't mind him Kiyan, she's always like that"
" Don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong Shin!"
"You girl with a pink hair quiet down the class is starting"
"I-I'm sorry, Ms. Herschel "
" Well deserved " Shin grins at Rose
"Youuu...." Rose clenched her fist
" You two settle down hehehe"
The class just started. Kiyan looked at the window beside him and his eyes are staring at the blue clear sky above.
'My new life really brings a lot of surprises. Unlike in my previous school that is boring. Seems like I'm going to enjoy my stay here, having a friend like this two and Claire and Mari by my side feels so captivating '
