Finally the story can really start now. Regarding the first two chapters as specials this is the actual first chapter. Unfortunately there are too many characters taking part here so it is lacking detailed information.
Reviews are welcome.
Chapter 1: The announcement
FALLEN PHOENIX – a well known academy for young magicians close to the dark side. Most of the students sent here have either accidently gained knowledge of forbidden magic, can't control their magical power or have carelessly broken the rules of magic.
The aim of the academy is to provide the students a possibility to train their magic properly under the supervision of elite-educators. But the circumstances are quite difficult because no one's here on own free will. There is always an aggressive attitude between the students. Some have gathered into so called gangs. But the rivalry between the gangs is only complicating things.
But all this won't mind anymore because things are soon going to change essentially.
-...-
Most of the gang was already sitting in the cafeteria discussing the probable outcome of the Popularity Poll which was currently held amongst all students.
Yamchu: "Who do you think is going to win this year?"
Tenshinhan: "…"
Sophie: "Surely there will be female winner again. Last year there wasn't any guy in the top five. I've already spied on some minds and know that there are only two participants competing for the first place."
Eva: "Now that you mention it this way there are only two possible candidates left."
Cathy only listened to the others because she was new and couldn't really participate in the conversation.
Yuna: "I'm sure that Ayumi-sama will win this year again."
"…" Tenshinhan nodded calmly.
"But don't forget that Lisanna was very close to her last year. Maybe she's the one taking the throne this year." A pink-haired boy wearing a motorbike jacket and with big goggles on his forehead appeared from the back.
"Nat!" Cathy replied surprised. "Speaking of which, where is Lisanna anyway? She'll be late for classes."
Sophie: "Nah. They won't be late. Since you're new you can't know but they always use to arrive just a minute before it starts." After a short pause she continued: "Speaking of the devil. I sensed them entering the building right now."
Everyone turned the head towards the entrance.
Only a moment later Lisanna and Jean entered the cafeteria. It was a common sight. As usual Lisanna was lecturing Jean for causing the late arrival. Jean couldn't do anything but to apology again and again scratching the back of his head bashfully.
Lisanna finally turned her attention to the gang and waved them. Almost everyone waved back. Only Nat stood a bit offside the group and tried to hide his sadness that would always emerge when he saw the happy pair.
Before Lisanna and Jean could reach the table they were disturbed by a sudden shout coming from afar but coming closer fast: "LisanNAAAH!"
With insane speed a girl rushed right in front of them and was hardly able to stop properly. It was Ayumi Takahara, the current holder of the title most popular student. She was the leader the so called Insiders, a pool of the more popular members of the academy. Last year she had appointed herself to Lisanna's rival because Lisanna informally had achieved the role of the gang leader. But the rivalry had already lasted since Lisanna had been transferred to the academy and hadn't accepted becoming a member of the insiders.
Right behind Ayumi appeared her bodyguard Ggio Vega.
Jean instinctively took a fighting position but was stopped by Lisanna. "I'm sure you're here for talking." Lisanna put up a fake smile towards Ayumi. Regarding their everlasting rivalry the smile was somewhat threatening.
After a short pause Ayumi went on: "Did you hear the latest news. The intermediary results of the poll have been published. Apparently it is a neck-and-neck race between the two of us. Do you really believe you can take my title?" Ayumi questioned provokingly.
Lisanna stayed calm – at least to the outside. Before she could react, director Aich announced via loud speakers: "All students have to gather in the assembly hall in five minutes! I have to make important information." His assistant added: "And before anyone asks: IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT STUPID POPULARITY CONTEST!"
Everyone was looking at each other with a questioning face. Lisanna and Ayumi decided to settle their dispute for now.
-...-
The students finally gathered in the hall. The director was standing in front of the audience. He was supported by the teachers Ami Mizuno and Masato Sanjoin standing next to him. Amongst all teachers they were well known as the absolute elite.
The audience was chatting nervously.
"Do you have the slightest idea, what information could be that urgent?" Yamchu asked Sophie.
"Nope. Maybe it has something to do the upcoming exams."
"Silence!" the director cut the chatting crowd off.
"To give the basic information first: Our academy has to be closed."
There really was silence now after this striking announcement.
"Because we won't be able to hold the upcoming exams here, all students are transferred to the magic academy FAIRY TAIL."
