On the day the new student admission ceremony will be held
.
.
All residents of the orphanage were gathered for breakfast that morning.
The atmosphere in the dining room was very festive. Everyone feels joy today. One of their family members will be starting to become a student of the Sunray Academy.
Currently, there are 7 residents of the orphanage, including sister Amelyn as caretaker of the orphanage. Kai is the oldest son, Jane is 1 year younger than Kai. Then there are 3 children who have the same age, 11 years, namely Gesa, Logy, and Nora.
Gesa is a boy who has the largest body among the three children of his age. Logy has an ideal appearance, he has sharp eyes, and is the calmest child among the three. Nora is a girl, she is the most active child in the entire orphanage.
The youngest child is currently 9 years old. Because she has an age that is far apart from the other children, she is the most spoiled person among all the children in the orphanage. Even Kai spoiled this child. This youngest child named Amber.
"Kai, won't we meet again after you enter?" Asked Amber with a pitiful face.
"Take it easy amber, I'll take the time to go home when I have the chance."
"Is that true, do you promise?"
"Yes, Amber, I promise. Later when I get money at the academy, I will even bring a souvenir. "
"Yeeee. Okay, Kai. "
Amber is indeed the closest to Kai. In the past, Kai used to read story books to Amber before she went to sleep.
"Ehhhh…. Is it only amber that you can get? How about your cute little sister Nora? "
"Me too, me too Kai, will I get souvenir too?" Gesa joined in the cut.
"Of course I will bring souvenirs to everyone in the orphanage. Take it easy."
Even though Kai is always not excited when he does something. But when it comes to the family at the orphanage, he is always eager to do whatever he can. An incident that shows Kai's concern for his family, one night Amber suddenly has a high fever, the drugs in the orphanage can't bring it down, so everyone panics. Kai is the one who runs around town looking for healers or doctors to treat amber. Even Kai was willing to bow to people so he could help Amber. Finally Kai's action bore fruit and was able to bring a doctor to an orphanage to treat Amber.
"Kai, if you do earn money, you should use it to meet your learning needs at the academy."
"It's okay sisters, as you know, I always do what I want."
"Do what you really want, Kai. But, please prioritize your learning needs first. "
"Alright sister."
Jane then joined the chat.
"Besides, how much money can Kai get later? You better not expect that you can get it from Kai." Jane spoke while pointing a fork at the younger children.
"HAHAHAHA, OK Jane, if you don't want oleh oleh, I won't buy it for you." Kai laughed back.
"It's not like that I mean."
All the residents then laughed seeing Jane grumble while pursing her mouth.
'I'm really going to miss this moment.' Kai thought
.
.
"Good luck in your learning Kai, don't forget us!" Shouted Amber, Gesa and Nora.
"Don't let yourself be bullied by other people Kai." Amber added.
Sister Amelyn just smiled and waved her hand.
Kai shouted as he waved his hand.
"Take care of yourself too."
Kai goes to Sunray Academy for the new student admission ceremony.
.
.
Sunray Academy is the second most extensive place after the royal palace. With a very grand building, the ornaments in every corner of the building, add to the impression that Sunray Academy is the best academy.
There were many carriages around the entrance to the academy. They are nobles who enter their children into this academy.
Kai walked over to the entrance and headed to a table that looked like a registration desk.
"Good afternoon, I am an administrative clerk of the academy. Currently, I am responsible for recording the participants who have successfully passed to become students of this academy. Can I see your proof of acceptance?"
"Okay, here it is."
The administrative clerk saw the proof of registration, then suddenly the proof of registration was brightly lit. Kai was surprised to see this incident.
"This is a method used to test the authenticity of the proof of acceptance. It is not uncommon for people to try to fabricate this proof. Therefore, proof of registration is specially made so that it can be used to prevent fake registration proofs from entering."
A few moments later the light dimmed, the administration clerk smiled as he looked at Kai.
"I have verified the proof of your acceptance. Welcome to Sunray Academy, congratulations on being accepted into this academy. I hope you have read the entire contents of the manual which you should have obtained at the same time as you got the proof before. "
"Yes, I have read and understood all the contents."
"Great, it's rare for people to be so diligent like you. Keep it up."
As an administrative clerk who has met new students, he often sees new students not reading the entire contents of his manual, so the clerk must always remind this people about that.
"Then this is the room key for where you will live later. You must use the academy uniform that has been provided in your room for the ceremony tonight. Now you can go to your room or tour the academy, it's up to you. Other accommodations have been prepared in your room. Once again, congratulations on being accepted into Sunray Academy."
Kai received the key from the clerk, thanked him and immediately entered the academy.
.
.
Kai has almost remembered all the positions of every building in the academy. So that Kai had no trouble finding the location of the male dormitory for first-year students.
Kai looked for a room number that matched the one written on the key he got from the clerk at the registration desk. It wasn't long before Kai found his room and entered it.
As the administrative clerk said earlier, the room has provided various daily necessities, there are also several sets of clothes such as daily uniforms and training uniforms.
Kai tries on the uniform that will be used for the admission ceremony later.
The clothes provided had been imbued with magic. So, the clothes will adjust the size according to the user's size, so that the clothes will always be used comfortably by every student.
After making sure everything needed was provided, and tidying it up. Kai lay on the bed, waiting for the admission ceremony to begin.
.
.
The time for the admission ceremony has arrived.
Kai put on his academy uniform, and made sure it was neat, without any mistakes. After making sure everything was neat, Kai left the room.
When Kai was locking the door to his room, the door from the next room suddenly opened. A beastman appeared with a beak similar to an eagle.
Beastman is another race that lives on the continent of Sades. Apart from humans and beastmen, there are 2 other races living on this continent, namely Elves and Dwarves. The life between the races on the surface of the Sades continent today can be said to be harmonious. There is no war between races with the aim of proving the most powerful race, nor is there hostility between the kingdoms of each race based on racial discrimination. Even if there is war, it is due to other things.
"Ah ... Hello, my name is Kai, I stay in room number 76." Kai took the initiative to start a chat with the beastman.
"Hi, my name is Egaru, nice to meet you." The beastman replied earlier.
The Sunray Academy is the best academy in the continent, thus attracting the attention of people from all over the continent. So it is only natural that in this school various races can gather.
The two of them just exchanged glances after greeting each other.
Kai is a child who is less social. Kai only often interacts with people at the orphanage, so it is very awkward when meeting new people. Likewise with Egaru. He looks really awkward like Kai. So that the incident of staring at each other and being silent can happen.
"S-Shall we go to the ceremony together?" Kai asked to break the silence.
"Good idea"
They walked together to the ceremony to attend the admission ceremony.
.
.
On his way to the ceremony, Kai decided to try to get closer to Egaru. Kai started off by telling a little of his life story like he was an orphan and happened to be accepted into this Academy at registration.
After Kai told him about himself, Egaru also told him about himself who came from the Beastman Kingdom, Bestial Kingdom. He left his house intending to become an adventurer. Egaru explained that he was not from the upper class. He is just the son of a farming family. Egaru wanted to be an adventurer since he was a child because he heard stories about adventurers when he was a child. That's why he has practiced a lot in order to be accepted here.
After chatting for a while. The chat between Kai and Egaru got more and more natural. Like they tell each other things they enjoy doing, or talk about the grandeur of this academy. Until they finally arrived at the place where the Academy admission ceremony was going to take place.
.
.
Each student is lined up according to the room number they get. All students wore the same uniform, so that there was no visible difference in status among the students, except for grade 2 students who also saw the admission ceremony as spectators. Grade 1 and 2 students can be distinguished by their uniform color. Grade 2 students will wear a red uniform, while Grade 1 students will wear a white uniform.
The place used for the opening ceremony was very wide. This place looks like an arena. The new students line up in a large field, and grade 2 students watch through the available podiums surrounding the field.
The faces of the 1st graders varied, some were excited, some were nervous, and some showed a very calm face. When Kai was watching the students around him, the field brightened up because the lights around the arena started to light up.
Then suddenly came a deafening voice.
"RooAARRrrr..."
Kai and the other new students immediately looked up, curious about the origin of the sound. There he saw a creature clad in flames swooping down towards the arena.
"Is that a dragon?"
