Kazhu and I were shocked and looked back, there was Baidu who was angry. After she turned and saw the state of the two of us who were close to each other, her emotions grew even more intense.
"I heard the villager went to Kazhu's room, but it's more than I expected!"
Baidu was so angry, she brought the sword she used in training here. Her face was red with anger. She rushed at me trying to slash at me.
"Oh, shit,"
I hugged Kazhu and avoided her until outside the room. Baidu watched me dodge her, getting angrier, this only worsened her aim.
"Baidu what are you doing? It's dangerous," I shouted at her.
"Dangerous you say? You are a dangerous person here." She spoke and began to cast her spell.
"Feather Dance"
Several shining blue swords floated around Baidu. I got scared and coated Kazhu with a protective layer of sin energy. I would cover all of me too, but that would take up too much. I was dodging the blades well, but because I was carrying Kazhu in my arms one of the shining blades hurt my shoulder.
"Hahaha you finally got hit," Baidu laughed mockingly.
Kazhu saw me bleeding, tears falling from the corners of her eyes. She stood between me and Baidu.
"Older sister, what are you doing, you hurt Akatsuki,"
Kazhu shouted with an expression about to cry, she seemed displeased with Baidu's actions towards me.
"Kazhu, I was just trying to keep him away from you," Baidu tried to explain guiltily.
"No, I don't want Akatsuki to stay away from me, if older sister continues like this, I will stay away from you," Kazhu shouted.
Baidu felt her heart break when she heard Kazhu's answer, Kazhu had never refused anything she said before, but now she dared to fight back. She looked at me with an increasingly angry expression.
"Is this all because of you? What have you done to my little sister!!" Baidu tried to attack me again.
"Older sister!!!"
I just wanted to sleep.
Finally Baidu stopped and lowered her head. She looked at me with an angry expression, then left. I breathed a sigh of relief, if I continued to fight with my injured body, and protecting Kazhu it would be dangerous.
Kazhu came towards me seeing the wound on my shoulder, she took me back to her room again. After treating my wound, Kazhu calmed down. Actually this wound is not much if I used a Potion, but I want to see what Kazhu will do if I get hurt.
'Well.. it seems that it was as expected, she looks like she already likes me,'
Fuck you system.
I was just wondering if it was too soon, maybe because Kazhu was just a child, her heart melted easily. Seeing her caring for me so worriedly, I became eager to see her status window.
[Name: Kazhu]
[Race: Human]
[Age: 13]
[Attraction: 125% (Fuck my sister, how dare he hurt my little bunny)]
[Rank: F]
[Class: Shy yandere]
'It's true, she already likes me,'
Maybe this isn't as bad as I thought. I still have my one goal, and it won't waver, but maybe I'll enjoy the steps to take it.
After I was treated, I told Kazhu I wanted to go back to my room, to rest. Kazhu also wanted me to rest, because I was injured. Even though the wound was nothing to me.
...
1 month later
...
Time for the entrance exam!
I've planned the whole thing out.
Don't shine, the protagonist will probably be here, so all you have to do is be a simple side character.
Don't use both 5 star manuals and only use sin manipulation and your summons when necessary. The blue feather technique will come in handy.
Very simple.
The sound of people chattering and working resonated throughout the city as they passed by on a carriage. Unlike the other carriage they were in, this one was a lot more luxurious.
One of the drivers was apparently a guard.
Inside the carriage were four of them, including Gura, Kazhu, and Beidu.
So far, it felt like Baidu had been avoiding me, I didn't mind.
"So, are you all feeling? Today are your entrance exams." Asked the guard.
I didn't feel nervous at all, Gura should be fine since she was around the same rank as me, I also told her not show the full extent of her abilities. The problem was Kazhu, but I knew that she would be fine. She practiced every day whenever she had time in the month of time we had.
Baidu did the same. The two of them hadn't stopped practicing. I hadn't stopped either, but he hadn't been able to progress much.
'I'm going to need better ideas… I can't just create a spell out of nowhere…' I thought to myself.
Parting Disaster was also something that hasn't progressed mutch. I need to fight more with it, this would be a good opportunity, but there were too many people here. So I got another manual from the gatcha, though it wasn't a 5 star one, it sufficed.
[Basic Martial Arts (3★): Fight with all the muscles in your body. Mastery in this art will always boost your power]
With this, I could handle basic fights in the arena, along with gravity style.
"I'm good," I replied.
"No problems here" replied Gura.
"I was a little nervous, but… I'm fine now," said Baidu with a determined look.
'She can do it if she tries.' I thought to himself.
"I was a lot nervous before, but thanks to Akatsuki being here, I feel calmer…" said Kazhu as she clenched her arm in the middle of her chest.
"I'm glad to hear it." I replied, I don't know what to do with her.
"Haha, is that so… I'm glad those are your thoughts." the guard said as he stared outside of the window.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped.
"Looks like we've arrived." Said the guard.
'Eh? Already?' I thought with confusion.
The four of us hastily looked outside of the carriage and were surprised. There were a lot of spaces all around, but no school. There were also a lot of people here, teenagers with their parents. The nearest house was far.
'Why is there such a big lump of space inside of the city? Where's the school? There are so many people here and yet…' I thought to himself.
"Are they all here for the exam..? But I don't see a school anywhere… Unless…" Said, Baidu.
At the same time, the carriage door opened, and on the outside was a guard.
"Identification, please." Asked the guard.
"Of course, I am a guard from the Feather family, and this is my highness Kazhu and Baidu. These are children who will also be taking the exam," Said the guard as he handed the man some sort of badge.
"My deepest apologies! For not realizing who it was!" Said the man as he bowed.
'Eh? What's with that overly dramatic reaction? Wait, he told me he was a noble, but he never said what rank… For guards to act like this… What sort of person is Dwayne…?' I thought with surprise.
"Haha, no need to be so tense, personally, I don't mind. But that aside, any ideas when the gate will open?"
'Gate? What gate? Wait, something strange… There only houses here, yet the guards seemed to be chanting something in the center… Wait, this isn't what I think it is, right..?' I inferred.
As he thought that, the guard said "Right now" and as he said that, the light began to gather in the center of where the other guards were chanting and took the shape of two gates.
A blue one and a red one. Two gates were formed and in front of them was a single mage. The guards had moved out of the way to give the person space.
"Wow…" muttered Kazhu with glitter in her eyes.
"Is that the unique space magic I heard about? Gate… It took around 8 mages to cast it…" muttered Baidu.
Gura quietly watched with a look of amazement in her eyes, it wasn't her first time seeing this as she was from the dragon layer, but it still shocked her every time.
'Hm… I'm guessing the gate is different from teleportation. Gate is like connecting to ends in a line, and these are indeed two separate gates. I reckoned.
She looked like an old woman in her 70s, yet she didn't give off the feeling of being fragile.
"*Clears throat* Testing… Good. People of the human domain, welcome to Genesis Academy, the top Academy in the human domain. Once again it is the start of a new year, and we are proud to announce that the exam will commence," Said the lady.
The crowd suddenly started cheering when the lady announced that.
"Looks like everyone is excited…" I muttered.
"Of course, it's always like this," Said the guard.
"It's like this in every city with a magic school? Must be hard…" I said.
"Hmm… You seem to be getting the wrong idea. Things are only like this because it is this school. Haven't you heard about this magic academy?" Asked the guard.
"Well, we heard that it was considered one of the most prestigious ones," I replied.
"Not just one of the most prestigious ones, this academy is the most prestigious one in the whole continent, Most magicians who have had their name go down in history have had ties to this academy, including our family." said the guard.
'It was that good..?' I wondered again.
"And now I feel a bit nervous." said Kazhu.
"Haha, sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." the guard said.
"It's fine, but it's good to know how amazing the school we're going to is."
"As always, only the students will be allowed in, Parents, Guardians, and Guards will have to stay here, along with the carriage. These are the necessary safety measures."
It looked like the security was tight, it's a good thing since apparently, and I'll be living in dorms there.
"Looks like we'll be parting ways here… You four, stay safe and good luck!" said the guard.
"Thank you so much." I said with a smile, turning around to the girls, I said.
"Well then, listen up, we have no idea what might be on the other side of the gate, but our first priority if we separate is to meet up, understood?" I spoke to them.
The two girls nodded, Baidu kept quiet.
"W-Well… I wish you two good luck…" said Kazhu as she turned and was about to leave.
"I'll be leaving, I'm not a pussy." Baidu said, but before I could say anything, she ran off.
Bitch
"Well then, it looks like you are all lined up. On my signal, you may pass through the gate. Do not worry, the exam will not start until everyone is inside." Said the lady.
"Looks like we're starting," I muttered.
"Shhh" said Gura.
"Welcome to Genesis Academy, my name is Hitha Beast, I am the principal of the academy. The test will be a battle royal between the students. You will fight for the top position, benefits will be given to the toppers such as fine dining and better rooms, as for the lower ranked students, their service will be affected in turn. We don't discriminate, if your a commoner or the son of a king, you all will be treated equally in this test. As soon as you walk through the portal, the test will begin."
"Well, then, On your mark… Go! Let the exams begin!" Said the lady.
After that, everyone began to walk through.
It didn't take long for it to reach our turn to enter.
"Well then, let's go. Good luck to everyone," I said as he walked inside.
"You'll need it," said Gura as she followed behind me.
"We all will," I said as I walked into the portal.
