-1Chapter 1: Arrival
It
It was a bright sunny day as Mika walked up twords the academy staring
at it's beauty with intense happiness, her eyes shone brightly in the
new morning sun. She stopped and looked up at the academy. Mika had
long brow hair, dark hazel eyes. She was medium build and was 15
years old. Mika picked up her bags and continued to walk getting
caught up in the crowd she looked up and her eyes met those of a boy
and man. The boy was around 16 years old, sensible silvery white hair
which seemed to cover the back of his head with greyish eyes. Kaiyo
was his name. Kaiyo looked down at the new arrivals and thought as
his eyes lingered of two of them
"What power they have in
them.." A man appeared behind him and place d a hand of Kaiyos
shoulder before speaking into a phone which echoed around the
academy.
"Would all new students please report to the main
hall for a welcome." Mika heard the announcement and walked
further into the hall before stopping and looking around and walking
into it leaning against the back wall. A boy walked in nervously
gazing around before stopping and gazing around wildly. Kaiyo
appeared from behind her and leaned against the wall coolly.
"I
would like to introduce you to all the teachers in the academy! He
said as a bunch of teacher walked out each bowing before taking their
place behind who Mika guessed was the headmaster.
""Welcome
to the academy! You have been chose because you are the best and
brightest from all across the globe. My name is Graf Wilhelm, I am
the head master of this school, if you have any concerns please feel
free to come to me, in addition, I also teach advanced summoning
magic classes. However I will not be the only one to learn from.
Allow me to introduce the teachers.
The attack magic teacher,
Sanyon Gohyaku!"
A slender man wearing thick rimmed glasses
walked to the front of the stage and took a bow smiling at all the
students before him and walking back to his place in the line. Mika
glanced at him and thought to herself
"He looks okay i
guess.." she wa still pretty nervous and gaze at the rest of the
teacher not saying or thinknig anything
"The regeneration
magic teacher Refill Sukuya"
A elderly woman with a large
white staff stepped forward, bowing politely then like the magic
teacher walked back and took his place in the line.
"The
dimensional magic teacher, Syaoran Kurojigen"
A larger man
with long flowing black hair joined his colleagues at the centre
stage, bowing like the others and gazing around wondeirouse, pride in
his eyes at all the students before him.
"The physical magic
teacher, Chikara Senshiryu"
A tanned man wearing nothing but
a hat, shorts and sandals stepped forward, he smacked a wooden katana
on the front of the stage as a form of greeting. Most of the students
jumped, expecting a bow like the others. Mika jumped at this as did
most of the other students before smiling and relaxing a little.
"The
teleportation magic teacher, Kiros Ichinana"
A silence fell
over the auditorium as the distinct lack of Ichinana began to make
Wilheim embarrassed. With a flash he appeared on the front of the
stage, taking a bow. The faculty and students alike laughed and
applauded at his trick.
"The manipulation magic teacher, Jin
Fukomaru"
Fukomaru smiled, as he said "I don't feel like
taking a bow sir...". He turned to one of the students in the
audience. A strange whirring sound started, the student climbed on
the stage and took a bow. Unlike Ichinana's trick, no one knew how to
react. Let alone the student who realised they had been brainwashed.
Wilheim gave Fukomaru a disparaging look before continuing.
"Finally,
the deputy head and martial arts teacher, Kuruneru Sanders!"
A
bald man, the oldest yet, stepped forward. He made no attempt to
garner the student's interests, merely bowing and returning. Mika
gazed at all the teachers, they all so similar but all so different
as well.
"Anyway, now that's out of the way, to business..."
The head teacher said smiling a little down at the students. The
chancellor bent over a large wooden crate which the students had been
eyes ever since they got in to the academy. He produced a glove
inside it and all the students looked confused before he began to
explain what it was
"This is the Mana-Glove. Each student is
required to use one. When worn, the glove measures the magical power
of the user, the efficiency of a spell cast, and it amplifies their
base magical power without the use of a staff. At the front of the
stage, you'll see crates of them. In an orderly fashion, each student
come out and get one, then return to your position and wait further
instructions". Mika saw Kaiyo move forword and snatch a glove
putting it on before resting against the wall again, staring up at
the headmaster with annoyance. Mika stepped forword and took her
glove pulling it on, it fit perfectly.
"Now, i want you all
to relax and charge up your energy or mana in order to settle which
dorm you will be put into." Mika began to relax her magic and
stored it into her hand, letting the magical flow. Her head began to
pound in pain ass the magic flow built up."Stop now!" the
headmaster commanded as he held a piece of paper. Which he began to
call out the name of
""...Setsakura Kaiyo, 1-A!"
Kaiyo
smiled a little and walked forword into place of the 1A dorms. So
that was his name, Mika thought to herself studding the boy
carefully.
"...Tenjoin Mika.. 1-...C?"
The headmaster
turned to the technician and began to ask him some questions. Mika's
reading had been high enough to be in 1-A, 1-B at the lowest, yet she
was stuck in the middle dorm. The technician demanded that the
machine's choices were logical. Wilheim frowned, however he had an
idea. A perfect way to kick the term off, and a way to analyse why
the system had put Mika in a lesser dorm.
He turned back to his
eager audience. He read through the remaining students, calling out
their dorms.
"..Nilo, 1-B...and finally Raihono Ichigo, 1-E."
finished the headmaster. So the was the nervous boy's name, Mika
glanced at him again before shrugging and waiting for the next
command placing the list at his side. "Now, to start this year
off, we're going to have an exhibition match between two students. I
have selected them based on their readings and their historic
records. First student, Setsakura Kaiyo!"
Kaiyo looked up at
the headmaster, suspicion crossed his eyes as he glared up at him in
annoyance.
"And the next student is... Tenjoin Mika!" he
called out. Mika stood starring at him, wondering if she had heard
right, but before she could object to the match Kaiyo approached her
as the school began to file out to the main arena talking excitedly
about the match.
"That old man must have some interest in you, Tenjoin. He promised he wouldn't make a spectacle of me unless
he had to. Now i want to see your full strength or you might not walk
out of there alive." Kaiyo said walking to arena leaving Mika to
pick up her bags and staff walking twords the main arena, feeling her
heart thumping hard against her chest as nerves began to kick in.
