Kirito and Asuna had already arrived at the academy before they even know it. The academy was bustling with activities as this was the first day of school many students are walking around to familiarize themselves with the academy.
The two of them are also included as they walk side by side and toured the whole academy. They discovered that the academy was bigger than they had thought, on their tour they saw that the academy has a training area which is very spacious enough to accumulate a hundred students at once.
There also workshop for alchemy, blacksmith, array formation, rune carving and other special units.
It was so large that is took them two hours just to tour what's in front of the academy, as they thought that it would take them 1 day to completely tour around the academy.
On their way they also encountered a lot of students wearing all sorts of colored robes. As they find out that those who were wearing robes are officially enrolled students of the academy.
Violet robes are for the fifth year students. Blue for the fourth year students. Red for the third year students. Green for the Second year students. And brown for the first year students.
Those who ear black or white robes are the teachers in the academy and based on what they saw teachers wearing black robes have higher position than the white robes teacher.
While they are enjoying their walk they heard a clear but hoarse voice in their minds.
"All students proceed in front of the academy right now"
Kirito and Asuna looked at each other and they headed in front of the academy.
When they arrived the place was packed with people wearing all sorts of different colored robes. There are also some who was not wearing any robes but only ordinary or exquisite clothes like Kirito and Asuna.
A lot of attention was immediately attracted by Asuna, and a lot of them was talking to each other.
"What a beautiful girl, hey just who is that guy?"
"So pretty, I wish I have even a small portion of her beauty"
"Damn, I must be in heaven why is it that there's an angel here?"
They talked about how beautiful Asuna and how lucky Kirito was. The two of them clearly heard this as there was only a small distance between them.
In contrast to others thoughts Kirito paid no mind to them, but Asuna was different as she knows that her brother will only ignore them she was irritated as they didn't know that she was the lucky one.
But you can't blame them as Asuna was just so beautiful to be paired with Kirito. Although his looks are not bad it was not good also, you can say that his looks are only average.
Ignoring what they've said, Kirito gently told Asuna to cool down and not be annoyed by them.
The two of them continued to look for a place to sit down as they saw that everyone was waiting for someone.
In front of them was a stage, a very large one. On each side of the stage we're sculptures of a dragon and a phoenix. The Dragon Sculpture looks extremely domineering and even though it was only a sculpture it emits and aura of dominance. The Phoenix Sculpture on the other hand was elegant and when looking at it one will feel a peace of mind.
Two opposing sculptures combined brings a unique harmonious feeling to the students looking at it. This two sculptures was created by the first founder of the Hugrain Academy and it was one of the most sacred things in Star City.
After waiting for about 10 minutes, a middle-aged man appeared out of nowhere and stood on the stage while looking at the students. Whenever his hawk like eyes pass by the students will immediately feel a cold chill on their backs.
But when his eyes met with Kirito's eyes he saw that Kirito's expression did not change and was still looking at him calmly. He was surprised as this was the first time that someone manage to endure his glare.
Pulling away his gaze from Kirito he said.
"Students, I am Bernard the vice dean of the academy. Every ones time is precious so I will not talk much. The academy expects you to become a great warrior in the future, we don't care where will you go after you graduate but you must bear this on your minds.
You came from the prestigious Hugrain Academy so you will not do anything that can ruin the academy's reputation. Our academy have been built thousands of years ago and has strongly hold the position of the top academy in the White Country." the students bloods started to boil hot as they started to shout and answer.
The middle-aged man upon seeing these was very pleased and he continued on speaking.
"What you need to focus is to work hard and cultivate at your best and the school will guide you on your way to the path of cultivation" he ended his speech with a bang and then he was nowhere to be seen.
Most of the students began shouting due to their excitement. A tall young man walked on top of the stage and looked at the students below with a smile.
"Fellow students, I am Ivan, fifth year student and this years head president. Your accommodation has already been settled so I will be distributing your robes. I guess everyone already knows what the robes represent but I will tell you anyways.
The robes represents the students year according to the color of their robes. From first year to the fifth year student, the colors of their robes will be brown, green, red, blue, and violet.
Remember that you must not talk so easily with white or black robe person as they are the teacher of the academy." he talk fast as if he was in a hurry.
"That's all fellow students I hope that you will strive hard to reach the pinnacle of cultivation. Bye." saying that he instantly disappeared from his position and can be clearly seen running hundred of meters away.
And then a gray cloud from an unknown direction flew passed the students, on top of the cloud was a girl in violet robes. She stopped near the stage as she embarrassingly looked at the confused students.
"Hello fellow students, I am Kate, fifth year student and will be this year's secretary. Great to meet you." as she said that she chased after the president who was running madly for his life as if a very dangerous monster was after him.
"Ivan don't you think that you can escape from me. Get back here right now" Kate shouted at the top of her voice and you can't see even a bit of image of a small and cute girl on her actions. She was like a monster roaring as her voice echoed on the surroundings.
"No, if I stop you will beat me up" Ivan didn't stop on running he did not even looked back as he answered at Kate.
"Run from me if you can." her speed increased and she continued to chase after Ivan.
After a few minutes the silhouette of the two of them can not be seen anymore. The students are left dumbstruck, they didn't know how to react to the situation.
Even Kirito was not able to tell what just happen as he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Several students wearing violet robes are distributing the robes according to the year color. Kirito and Asuna both received brown robes as they don't differ in age that much Asuna will be turning 15 this year so they are on the same year.
After the distribution of the robes they we're asked to got the register's office to know which will they belong.
Kirito and Asuna was unexpectedly assigned to the same class, Brown class C.
The classes are also divided into different colors and in each class it was subdivided into class D, C, B, A, S. D class being the lowest and S being the highest.
Since Kirito and Asuna had intentionally hid their true abilities they are on the class C second to the lowest class.
They are cultivating to become warriors so it doesn't matter to them where they will placed.
Upon entering on their classroom, 50 chairs greeted them which we're aligned uniformly. Asuna took the seat near the window while Kirito sat beside her. Asuna was full of smiles today because she will be together with her brother, thinking about that the two of them will most likely to be together the whole year she can't stop from giggling.
Kirito who was beside her did not know whether to laugh or cry. His sister sometimes can be crazy when it comes to her own imaginations but deep on his heart he was also happy.
Not long after that, students wearing brown robes came one after another. When they entered the classroom they we're gloomy but when they saw Asuna their eyes lit up.
A beauty has appeared in their class so how can they be unhappy about it. Thinking that they can do their best during this year to woe her they are all smilingly widely which is very creepy.
After an hour most of the students are all inside the room. Kirito and Asuna picked the leftmost back corner of the room, in front of them are twins while on Kirito's right was a red-haired youth with a crooked nose.
Suddenly a young boy walk towards their direction who keep on looking at Asuna.
"Hello fellow student, my name is Sylvester nice to meet you." he stretch his hand to Asuna.
But when he was about to take advantage by acting that he had accidentally touch Asuna's bosoms. A hand grip his tightly.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Kirito and this is my little sister Asuna." Kirito had prevented him from taking advantage of Asuna who did not know what to do when he saw Sylvester.
Sylvester face twitched as he felt Kirito's hands gripping his very tight. It was very painful but he can't afford to shout as he was afraid that his manly image in front of Asuna will be destroyed.
He tried to fight back by also gripping tightly into Kirito's hand but he was meant to fail as it did not even affect Kirito one bit. Knowing that he can do nothing he can only let go of Kirito's hand.
Noticing that Sylvester has released his hand, Kirito also kindly released the others hand. He smiled to Sylvester and then paid no more attention to him.
Seeing this Sylvester was enraged but before he can even release his anger he heard a clear sound.
"Everyone set down let me introduce my self" it was a middle-aged lady who's age is not higher that 20. It was evident that he just graduate last year and decided to teach here at the academy.
Sylvester can only follow the middle-age lady as he went back to his set but he was still looking at Kirito with enmity.
Kirito felt Sylvester's gaze so he looked at him coldly. Sylvester felt a cold chill from his back it was the same when the principal looked at them earlier.
He no longer dared to Kirito afraid that something bad will happen to him.
Kirito was as calm as ever and he no longer paid no mind about Sylvester. While Asuna looking at his brother was giggling happily.
"What are laughing about?" Kirito asked with an awkward smile.
"Brother did I cause you too much trouble?" she smiled at Kirito while casting a flirty looked at him.
"Yes" answered Kirito without hesitation.
"Why?" Asuna pretended to look upset while she pouted.
When Kirito saw her cute expression he stopped for a second before answering.
"Beauty brings a lot of trouble".
