"Yawwwwn..." David was woken up by the insistent sound of chirping birds.
"2 hours left untill school starts... 30 minutes trip to school. Alright, I'll brush my teeth, eat breakfast, meditate for my magic, shower, change my clothes and head to the academy!" David planned out his entire morning as soon as he woke up and started to execute it.
When he reached the changing clothes stage, he was in a dilemma.
"Should I wear the old comfortable training attire or the new uncomfortable one?" After considering it for a long time, he decided he would go with the new one and just season the shirt. After all, David didn't want to have another incident like the one he had before.
After changing his clothes, David stepped out of his front door and started heading towards his academy, The Imperium Academy.
At the gate of the academy, there was a long line of people who waited to see a man who was presumably in charge of checking whether the students are really students who are attending that academy.
The man had long black hair, a stern looking face and had many bulging muscles.
Following the crowd, David joined the queue.
"WHAT IS THIS BULLSHIT, IF YOU WEREN'T ACCEPTED, WHAT DID YOU COME HERE FOR! Next!" The man lashed out at the student in front of him.
Suddenly the queue became shorter as many students suddenly left.
"Huh... They must have wanted to try their luck, but after that, I don't think anyone would dare..." David thought to himself.
After an extremely long period of time, David finally had the chance to walk up to the man.
The man looked at the recommendation letter, pointed to the left where a woman with short purple hair and a warm and gentle face was sitting and said "Wrong place, go there."
"What?" David was shocked, had he really wasted all that time for nothing.
"I said GO THERE YOU DIPSHIT." The man replied angrily.
Without delay, David jumped out of there and started walking towards the kind looking lady.
"What do you want brat?" The woman talked in an extremely harsh tone which caused David to be taken aback.
"Umm, here, this recommendation letter". David said as he handed the letter to the woman.
The woman unsealed the envelope and started reading it.
"What!?" The woman exclaimed with surprise.
Suddenly she kept the paper, smiled at David and said in an extremely polite tone, "You may enter the academy now young one, good luck!"
"Huh?" David was extremely confused but paid it no heed and started walking towards the gate.
As soon as David's leg stepped past the front gate, a line with an arrowhead started forming on the ground.
David just followed the line all the way until he reached an extremely large area that seemed like an arena, where all the other students were gathered as well.
David like almost every student there just stood rooted awkwardly on the ground and waited.
After what seemed like an eternity for David, the Dean finally started talking. His voice was neither too soft nor too loud and he was not even using a microphone while talking to the 300 students.
The dean had short white hair and wore a white shirt and a green robe. He has a calm and collected face and wore glasses which made him look very smart.
"Hi students, welcome to Imperium Academy!!" As he said this, some older students dressed in formal attire with a badge that says "Council" pinned on it started cheering extremely loudly, however since they were the only ones as the countless teachers and new students did not cheer, some of them looked quite embarrassed but continued nonetheless.
The Dean then proceeded to say, "First of all I would like to congratulate each of you here for making it into this prestigious academy. When you graduate from this academy, each and every one of you will be adept fighters! To start things off, all of you will be participating in battle royales today!" Saying this, the dean made an extremely huge image appear in front of all the students which showed the prizes for winning each round.

"Woah!" The entire student body exclaimed in unison and began clamouring together.
"A super rare costs 500 silver and a rare costs a 100 silver!!" One of the students shouted out
"I'm going to get at least top 10 for sure!"
"I'm going to be number 1!"
"I'm going to destroy anyone that comes in the way of me and that super rare weapon!"
Countless comments wafted through the arena.
David looked at the prizes and thought to himself with a grin, "Hmm... Interesting, I'm going to win it all!"
"Alright! Alright! Quiet down! The first battle shall now begin, it is one where you can only use magic! Should you be caught using martial arts, weapons, innate abilities and magical artefacts, you will be disqualified! Do not worry, we have countless qualified teachers that will stop the battles that get too serious and those who are injured will be healed! The battle will start when I say 1!" The Dean said
"3!"
"2!"
