Hi Guys,

Sorry for the long wait. Things just never end. I finally had a chance to finish up this chapter to post.

We'll get more technical in the next chapter with spells and stuff :)

Lets just get everything set up for now

"MIKAN WAKE UP, OR YOU'LL BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!" Ji-Chan screams in vain in weak attempts to wake Mikan up.

"5 more minutes please" Mikan murmured before rolling over to her other side.

Ji-Chan got frustrated and went over to Mikan's bed and tilted her mattress to one side so she fell off the bed.

"Owwwww" Mikan said as she slowly sat up on the floor.

"Now hurry up and get ready. You don't want to be late for your first day of classes."

"Yes, Ji-Chan." Mikan replied before heading to the bathroom.

Sigh, "What are you going to do when you're at the school all by yourself" Ji-Chan said while shaking his head.

After finishing her routine in the washroom she went back into her room to get dress and looked at her clock.

8:30am

"AHHHHHHHHHHH, I'm going to be late." Mikan screamed as she hurriedly got dress and packed her things for school.

"Bye Ji-Chan. I'm going to school now. Take care of yourself while I'm away at school."

"Don't worry about me. I'm still very strong and capable! Be a good girl while you're gone!" Ji-Chan replied while waving at Mikan who is now running towards Prontera chuch.

At the church

Ding, ding, ding

The bells are ringing signifying the start of school.

"I did it! I made it just in time." Mikan exclaimed as she step foot into the church.

She looks around, "where is everyone?"

Her eyes land on the bulletin board.

Dear students,

Please gather in the main hall for the welcoming ceremony today.

Signed Headmaster

Oh crap, I have to find the main hall Mikan thought as she sped off in search of the main hall.



Crash

"Owwww, that's the second time today I'm in pain." Mikan said.

"Are you all right?" The person that Mikan bumped into asked.

He reached out his hand to help Mikan stand up.

"Yes I'm ok. Sorry I'm in a rush. I need to find the Main Hall and I don't know where it is!" Mikan replied in a panic.

"Ah, you must be one of the new Acolytes. My name is Narumi-Sensei. I'll lead you to the main hall. The ceremony is about to begin so you're just in time."

"Thank you Sensei!" Mikan replied as she followed Narumi-Sensei to the main hall.

Inside the main hall

Several priests and monks and one high priest can be found on a stage at the front. There seems to be an empty seat waiting for someone.

"Here we are."

"Thanks for showing me where to go Sensei."

"It was my pleasure. Now I must get going." Narumi-Sensei replied as he headed to the front of the hall.

As Narumi-Sensei got onto the stage, the high priest got up to the podium.

Ahem, "good morning everyone. I am the head master of the Acolyte's Academy here in the church. I welcome you all today for the start of this new semester. Many of you are here for the first time and others are here for their second semester. There will be no classes today so please use the time to settle in at the church. I would like to introduce you to your Dorm Mother, Sister Serina, and Dorm Father, Brother Narumi. Both Sister Serina and Brother Narumi are teachers here so you may be in their classes. Please go to your dorm-mother and dorm-father to receive your room assignments after this ceremony. We have a desk set up on both sides of the hall for registration purposes. All female students will go to the registration table on the left and all male students will go to the registration table on the right side of the hall. New students, please familiarize yourself with the church as it will be your home for the next two semesters. Once again, we're glad you have chosen to become an acolyte and please enjoy your stay. Thank you everyone. Dismiss."

Once the High Priest leaves the podium the crowd started to get nosy again. All the new students started chatting with each other in excitement while the older students went around to greet old friends and classmates.

"Hi, my name is Yuki Chiba, what's yours" the girl on the right of Mikan said as she introduced herself.



"Hi, I'm Mikan Sakura, please to meet you." Mikan responded with a bright smile.

"Hey what classes are you guys in?" A male acolyte came and asked them.

"Um…I was put in the classes that teach all support spells." Mikan replied.

"I'm also going to be a support acolyte as well!" Yuki replied.

"Ahhh, then I'll be in some of your classes, the other class I'm in are about exorcising demons." He responded.

"YAY we'll be classmates! I'm Mikan Sakura! Nice to meet you."

"I'm Yuki Chiba. Please to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too, I'm Aki Ichiro."

"Sakura-san, let's go and get our dorm assignment." Yuki said.

"That's a good idea. And please call me Mikan." Mikan responded

"Alright, then you have to call me Yuki, ok?"

Mikan nods in response

"Alright lets go, see you later Ichiro-san" The girls said before heading to the registration table for the girls.

In Mikan's Room

"Yessss, finally finished unpacking. I can finally go explore." Mikan said

"hum…I think I'll have a nap first, I'm really tired" Mikan said before plopping onto the bed.

Ji-Chan, I made new friends today. I'm so happy. I think I'm going to like going to school here. Mikan thought as she slowly drifted off to dreamland.
