I am now standing in front of a massive Golden Gate. It was a gate to Sword and Magic Academy. The golden gate has a word carved in the middle. It was 'Welcome to S&M Academy'.
Sword and Magic Academy is a school that will help the students cultivate their talents and skills for Magic and Weapons. It was founded 10 years ago by King Henry J. Humbert. With an objective in mind to nurture the talent and skills of the young youth to the fullest.
The Academy has a dorm that the students will be living in for 3 years. Ever since the Humbert Kingdom build the Academy, the kingdom flourishes even more and produce lots of promising adventurers, knight's and magician that help the Kingdom in many ways. Soon the other Kingdom do the same and thus the 'Young Youth Battle' was born.
Every year all the first-year and 3rd-year students at every school present fight and show their might at the other school. However, only 6 best first-year students can participate in the battle.
(AN: I'll explain more when the time come)
I enter the Academy and the first thing I notice was how broad and wide it was. The Academy's path to the school building has a design of red roses growing in an archway. The red petals were falling due to the wind. I walk into the path and immediately notice that every student present at least stare or take a glance toward me which is quite uncomfortable.
'Ugh, why was everyone staring at me? Maybe it's because I didn't have any luggage as I was supposed to have?'
Just as I was thinking that. Someone bumped into me from behind. I look to see who it was and I saw a girl. When the girl looks up, crimson eyes meet golden eyes. The girl seems to be in a daze when she saw me and She is also wearing the same uniform as mine.
I held out my hand to the fallen girl and ask:
"Are you okay?"
I ask the girl but instead of accepting it she instantly stands up and apologizes frantically.
"S-s-sorry,"
The girl said stammering and bow to show her sincerity. I didn't get a chance to reply because before I could open my mouth and say 'it's okay. The girl sprinted away. I could only watch the girl from behind.
Ahh, right I forgot to tell you but the reason I have no luggage was simply because I learn storage magic. Null magic. It is an ancient magic called Dimensional Storage Magic. It is said to have an unlimited capacity and the main use was to store things in the abyss of dimensions. It doesn't cause you great mana, as long as you grasp the concept of the storage magic. It took me 2 months to learn this magic.
(A/N: She has a tremendous magical power that's why she feels that it doesn't cause her great mana)
To use it, well, You just touch and wish what you want to store in your dimensional storage and if you want to take something out you just need to imagine/think what you want to take out and it will appear in thin air. Convenient Right?.
They said that Storage Magic is unusual because it will cost you a great amount of mana. I don't know how the normal storage magic works but it is said that only a few can use it because of the mana cost and if they can use it. They only have limited space. Unlike hers.
Though there are a few artifacts about storage magic that were being contributed to the world. It causes you $10,000 so only wealthy people can afford it.
As I was thinking, I have found myself in a gymnasium full of students and teachers. I was just in time because when I arrive the headmaster was making his way to the stage. I slowly made my way to the crowd and listen to what the headmaster was about to say.
"Ehem, Students, I welcome you to the Sword and Magic Academy. In this school, we urge you to cultivate your talents whether it is magic or swords with the help of your teacher's guidance. Especially the first-year students, we encourage you all to attain greater heights and be the best person you can be at the end of the year. Prove yourself and Aim to be one of the Selected 6 for the Young Youth Battle. That's all. Let us hear a word of the First Year Representatives, Suzanne Farell"
As the girl that goes by the name, Suzanne Farell appeared on the stage. When I hear her name. I could feel my heart beat faster. I never look away or more like I can't look away, my eyes were glued into her. The girl that my heart was longing for was standing before me yet she was so far that I was unable to reach her or even grasp her hand.
The usual sky-blue hair that grows up to her butt. Her Royal Blue Eyes resemble the ocean. Porcelain skin and a well-proportion nose and pink lips. No matter how I look at it. She was the grown Suzu, who grow to be so gorgeous.
Suzanne came up on a stage and roam her eyes around and soon fell her eyes on K but Suzu quickly averted her eyes ...
Just like what Kiara had feared. Suzu has changed. Change into a different person. She's cold, distant, and treated me like I am just one of the strangers. She was just like the rumor says. Every word and action she shows right now just fits the rumor well.
"My fellow student, I am honored to be standing in front of you today. We have a long journey in front of us, and in that journey, we may stumble along the way but I hope that you will continue to stand and fight."
Suzu's voice was also so cold yet elegant but even so, hearing her voice made me glad somehow because that means that she was doing just fine. To Kiara, her voice was like music to her ears.
'I guess it isn't just a rumor, it was a fact'
"I encourage you to train hard and do not bring shame to the school. Show result of your hard work and leave your mark upon this Academy and carve your names in history"
With that, Suzanne finish her speech. A round of applause resounded and the headmaster takes the spotlight once again to inform us first-years about the exam at 9:00 and when the written exam was done. We are free to roam around the school and do whatever we want.
When the morning assembly finishes. I decided to look for the Examination Room to take the written exam. When I arrive at the said room. I can see a few students going in and I follow them.
Once I was inside I was met by a vast white tile with a separated chair inside. The chair was separated at least 1meter.
"Name?"
The staff member asks me without even bothering to look at me.
"Kiara Ferrer"
Then the staff hands me a tag with a number. Her eyes were still on a document she was doing.
"Your Entry No. 31, please sit at your assign chair number"
Kiara did what she was told and sat in the chair. When she arrived she takes out the ancient book since she has nothing to do. Since it was still not crowded and only 10-14 people are present. No one noticed that she takes out a thick book and glasses in the thin air. The present people also talk to the other students and some are reading, reviewing and some just mind there own business. So no one notices what she just did.
She wore the glasses and read the book. It was just reading glasses that she gets a few years ago.
Moments later, a murmur of her fellow student about the Ice empress, the water princess, etc. could be heard.
Kiara as usual was so absorbed to notice her surrounding. Little did she know that she was also a center of attraction because of her looks especially that she wore glasses that enhance her already deadly charm.
"Since everyone is here I ask you, students, to Go back to your sits and keep your things"
The students did as they were told. Kiara was no exception. When the teacher told them to keep their things. She closes the book that she was reading and stores it to her dimensional storage magic including her glasses. The book and glasses disappear in thin air like it was never been there.
"We will have 2 tests for today the test about magic-related and sword and combat-related. Both tests have 100 items. You have 1 hour and 10 minutes to take each test"
After the assigned teacher said her final instructions. She distributed our examination paper.
"Begin!"
The teacher said when she was sure that all students have a test paper in front of them.
I open my test paper and I found it rather easy because I have never once forgotten the information of the book and knowledge that I look up to before. Rather I can still remember all that happen in my life. My memory is just like a cabinet that contains many folders of information and I just need to find it there what I wish to remember and know.
(AN: Kiara never know but she has a photographic memory)
Every time I read the questionnaire. The answer just naturally pops into my head. I finish my first test in exactly 1 hour 1 minute and 26 seconds. How did I know the exact time? Well, because we have a timer in front of us that automatically starts if you touch the questionnaire paper.
"If you are done, Kindly submit your test paper and get your 2nd test"
Some of the students stand up and get their 2nd test. I did the same since I was done answering and reviewing my answers once more. I submitted my test paper and got my second test. I return to my sit and start answering.
Sword and Combat was my specialty. I've been reading books about swords and combat since I was still 5 years old while I start reading magic when I was 10. I didn't focus on the ancient book that I happen to found in the basement but instead. I also search the nearest library this past five years to research magic. From time to time of course I still read about swords and combat so my knowledge about this subject expanded greatly. This time I finish my test in 55 minutes. I also review my answers for 5 minutes. So, all in all, I take 1 hour.
I stand up and submit my test paper. The teacher look at me and said:
"You're already done?"
I only nodded
"You can now go and you can check your results once it was out at 4:00 pm in the bulletin board outside"
I exited the room and decided to go to the dorm room for now.
