Hajime walked through the halls of his new school, to his first class, he stood at about 5'9" tall, with bright red eyes and pitch black hair, he had an athletic figure and two mechanical arms as a result of amputation due to an injury which got infected while working in the mines, he wore black trousers, black boots, a black, long-sleeved, v neck shirt and a long hooded coat that had the outline of a rose with the magical circle of faith around it, in red on the back, as he walked, people stared at him and whispered
"What's a peasant doing at our school?"
"how do you know he's a peasant?"
"Look at the way he walks"
"he's kinda hot tho"
"Ew, he's a peasant"
Hajime was unphased by the comments and continued to walk to class, he pushed open the doors and walked into the class
"You're late Hajime," the teacher said as she pointed to an empty seat int he 5th row from the bottom "you can sit there"
"I'm very sorry, my parents kinda kept me back, didn't wanna see their only child leaving home I guess"
"Understood, I would probably be the same way if I had a child, but now that you're part of the school and don't have to do that daily, I expect you to be on time"
"Of course professor," he said as he bowed, this shocked the teacher slightly as almost everyone in the school was of a higher rank than she and she had not expected such a show of respect.
Hajime took his seat and as soon as he did someone spoke up, rather loudly
"What is trash doing attending a prestigious school such as this?"
"I don't know what you're doing in the school, so don't ask me" Hajime retorted with a slight grin
"Who the fuck do you think you are bitch? my parents are rank three nobles"
"Am I supposed to care? now shut up so I can actually learn something in class"
The boy that spoke up, raised his hand and formed a massive fireball hurling it at Hajime, the latter waved his outstretched arm in front of him horizontally and uttered a few words
"By the power of the sun, I commit"
In an instant, the ball of fire shifted shape and slowly turned into a dragon made from the embers of the previous fireball
"H-how did you?"
The dragon came to stop over Hajime's palm and went into it
"wait your arms are mechanical?" a girls voice called out
"yes"
"how are you able to use magic with your arms then?" the boy from before asked
"My aura is rather large, it overflows and covers my arms too"
Everyone was speechless, the boy quickly pulled out his phone and called his father
"father, there is a peasant attending the school, He had the audacity to stand up to me, I want you to bring the guards and put him in his place" in the next second the boy's father teleported into the room with the guards in tow
"Where is the peasant?" his father asked as he saw his son point to Hajime, seeing who his son had pointed too, he wasted no time and dropped to his knees
"I am terribly sorry for my son's arrogance," he said as his guards bowed as well
"please sir, forgive him"
everyone in the room was speechless, they had all known about the boy's father and how powerful he was, few people had such backing and now, the boy's father was bowing to a student.
"Father why do you bow to a filthy piece of shit"
"you idiot, that's not a piece of shit, that's the prince"
everyone gasped and looked at Hajime, even the teacher, now Hajime's display of respect towards the teacher seemed even more unbelievable
"Your son needs some discipline" Hajime walked over to the boy and spoke "And just so you know, being called a peasant isn't an insult, I've met farmers who were better men than you will ever be"
"How can we make it up to you Prince Hajime? how can we apologize?" the father asked sincerely
"Don't apologize to me, give your apologies to the professor, it's her class that your son interrupted with his arrogant outburst"
After apologizing the boy was transferred to another class and the classroom settled down, all the while someone was watching from the last row from the bottom, looking at Hajime with interest, after class, the teacher walked over to Hajime and hugged him with tears of joy "I'm so glad to see there are still people who know what respect is in this school of pretentious assholes" she said
"It's fine, you don't have to thank me, I know what it's like, I wasn't always a prince, I'm adopted, I was an orphan"
The teacher thought for a second and asked Hajime "How do you feel about people of lower rank?"
"They are no less equal than anyone else"
"so if I were to say, try and set you up with my daughter would you be allowed to date her?"
Hajime laughed "yes, I'm free to love whoever I choose"
The teacher looked at Hajime and smiled "I know it may sound like I'm trying to set you up with her because of your status but really it's because you're a good person and we need more like you in the world"
"thank you very much, professor"
"Don't mention it, I'll set it up later and that was excellent magic back there, I'm transferring you to the advanced classes for the elite, you'll be in Professor Jutari's class, Study hard and make your parents proud okay?"
"I will," he said as he walked away, Hajime's magic was advanced but it was not very powerful, he still had a lot to learn and he walked to his dorm, given the rest of the day off, he decided to use the extra time to perform maintenance on his arms, he took out his tools and started tunning himself up
The very next morning Hajimeheaded to his new dorm, packed his stuff and went to his new classroom, it was slightly different, there were far fewer students, the classroom was smaller and in a separate building entirely from the last one, he walked in and was met with the faces of the other students staring at him.
"You're a day late," one of the girls said to him
"I wasn't in this class a day ago,"
"How's that possible?"
"They saw that I knew advanced magic and transferred me"
"a new prodigy?" a boy spoke up "this should be interesting"
Just then, the professor walked into the classroom and looked around the room, she smiled as she saw Hajime "ahh you're Hajime right? Professor Alextrial gave you quite the praise, I look forward to seeing your progress and making that magic strong" was Professor Jutari, she had white hair, blue eyes and wore a logn red coat over a black button up top and black trousers with boots
Hajime cupped his fist in his palm and bowed "thank you, professor, I will try my best to make you proud"
"did he just bow to the teacher?"
"could he be a peasant?"
"What noble bows to those lower than them"
While he did so a group of students in the corner of the room looked at him with piqued interest
"now class, today we will be summoning familiars, today is the day you get your very first familiar, I hope you're excited"
"Hajime, I look forward to seeing your own most of all, I've never had the pleasure of witnessing a rank one familiar"
"rank one?"
"but the only ones able to summon a rank one familiar as their first is the royal family"
"Impossible"
"There's no way"
Meanwhile, that same group of students in the corner looked at the emblem on Hajime's coat and did not doubt what the professor said
"Professor, please remember I am adopted, I make no promises that I can summon a rank one as my first even with the family magical aura"
"understood" the professor replied as she brought out the summoning pentagon
one by one the students went up to summon their familiars
just them a swarm of ravens fluttered around the girl and flew into her body disappearing "Kajikari Kyoto, rank two beast type familiar, Raven's swarm"
A large demon with skin the color of burned wood and fire rising from his veins appeared, large black abt styled wings on his back and a pointed tail stepped out from a pillar of fire, it turned into a giant wolf with fur made of fire and ran to her, engulfing her in flames but not hurting her as it disappeared, "Hannah Von Stricken, rank three demon type familiar, The hell hounds ember"
a beautiful woman approached Lewis, dressed in a black and red dress, with glowing red eyes like Hajime's and fangs dripping blood, she wrapped her arms around him as she vanished inside him "Lewis Katamaru, Rank two Monster type familiar, The Vampire Queen of Venice"
A woman made of grass, dirt, wood, and flowers walked over to him, bowed her head and took his hand, vanishing into him and leaving a flower in his hand "Klaus Williamson Rank three Elemental type familiar Gaia, the guardian of the earth"
"Up next Prince Hajime Night, please step up and say the incantation, remember the familiar you get is the one you are stuck with because you do not choose a familiar a familiar chooses you based on who you are at your core"
Hajime stepped up to the podium and knelt down
"you need blood for this ritual, a knife is placed next to you"
"I rather not cut my hand, I have a better idea"
"Klystriculam Jeritaci" as he uttered those words, his vein in his left arm was cut and blood flowed out of his skin and into the altar
"By the power of magic, by the power of life and death, ohh great creatures of the universe I summon thee, Jutagaham Yamataro"
The magical pentagon began the glow, as a beautiful woman with fiery red hair and jade green eyes appeared, she had Large black wings and wore black trousers, a red blouse, black boots and a long red and black coat, she walked over to Hajime and planted a soft kiss on his lips as she vanished
"Prince Hajime Night, rank one Immortal type familiar Carmilla the mother of Magic"
