Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: The Shining Light of a Fake Star

A bell can be heard across the school. The students are in their own respective classroom and are learning the basics of their magic. The students also wear a specific uniform for each element.

"Good morning students, my name is Claudia. And I will be the teacher for the wind class. It's nice to meet you all." as she bows down to the students. "Let's get started shall we?" "First all of you introduce yourselves." the teacher pointed at Nanako. "You there brown haired girl at the back, introduce yourself" "My name is Nanako, and I'm a swordswoman who can use magic. It's nice to meet you all." The students whispered to each other. "isn't she the girl who summoned the wyvern during the trial?" "ehh.. is that so? Then I guess we'll have to be careful around her and get on her good side." The next to introduce was Shiro who was sitting right beside her. "H-hello everyone.. My name is Shiro. Nice to meet you all.." and the rest of the class introduced their self.

The S-rank students were called into a room. Someone is knocking on the door "Hello? is this the S-rank room?" someone said "Sorry ma'am this is Fire section ro-" Nanako opens the door. "Yes, this is the S-rank room" "Hey! What was that all about!? You ruined the joke!" Nanako was frozen in place. Then the person sitting next to him said "Oh god can you please shut your mouth up.. I'm trying to sleep" "And why would you sleep on class anyways?!" "Because I'm tired, I used up all my mana while researching..." and he fell asleep "Hey wake up!" Nanako and the woman was still at the door watching these 2 fight. The woman said "When will you two stop fighting..?" "Sorry ma'am... Who are you again?" "I'm the teacher assigned onto the S-ranks students.. I will be watching through your progress and announce things to you all. 2 months, we'll be holding a test on you all to see if you're still fit to be in S-rank. Of course, we'll be testing the lower rank students as well to see if they're fit to enter the S-rank" She entered the room and Nanako went back to her seat. "Okay everyone, my name is Phos... well shortened name is Phos. I don't like going into details with my name so just call me that. It's nice to meet you all." everyone greeted Phos. "So class what we'll do for today is simple."

Phos brings the students in an arena. "You all will have to fight so I can see your true potential." "You there blondie and you at the back who's trying to hide from everyone. Get up there on the stage." "M-me!? B-but I don't want to fight right now.." "You can't say no, this test is necessary. If you fail to comply, I might have to drop you off S-rank.. Do you want that?" "Well.. No ma'am, fine I'll fight.."

The two gets up on the stage and prepares. "You students will have to use wooden weapons to prevent any serious casualties. And before you fight, You must introduce yourself." The blond hair man introduces himself. "Gabriel A̶p̶o̶s̶t̶a̶t̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶H̶a̶t̶e̶ (abit sad that the strikethrough didn't go through the middle). My name is Gabriel and I use Lightning magic. It's nice to meet you." "... My name is Kai and I use water magic.. The feeling's mutual.." They are both using a sword for this fight. "Okay let's not waste any time here. In three, you two can start the fight." "Three... Two... One... Go!" Gabriel used Lightning step to get closer to Kai. "Take this! God's Retribution." When the sword hits Kai's sword, a smoke was formed in the arena. "What is he trying to do? Kill him?? Bro he got no chill" And as the smoke gets blown away, Kai is just standing on the field with a bubble around him. "That's all?" Kai took no damage from the hit and the bubble protected him from it. Gabriel used Lightning step once again to get behind him and used his lightning bolt in an attempt to destroy the bubble. He successfully popped the bubble but Kai deflected his attack. "Are you finally done?" Kai sprints towards Gabriel and used geyser burst which threw Gabriel mid-air. He jumps towards Gabriel and hit him on his guts. "Be buried deep within the ocean." Kai used his height and to drop down on Gabriel and kick him knocking him unconscious. Phos calls the medical team and announces that Kai is the winner.

For the next fight. It will be Marcus and the brown haired girl over there (Nanako). Everyone was surprised. "The Pseudo-Light against the girl that summoned the wyvern??" "Oho? This is going to be interesting." Nanako and Marcus steps up on the stage. "I am Marcus, the Pseudo-Light. It's a pleasure to meet you." "And my name is Nanako. I'm a wind sword-mage. The feeling's mutual."

Nanako and Marcus takes on a fighting stance. "Three... Two... One... Go!" Both Nanako and Marcus took an defensive stance "Not gonna attack?" "I was about to ask the same question." "Well then, I'll take the initiative here. Try to catch up with me if you can." Marcus dashed towards Nanako and she used the winds to deflect his attack. "Magic without chanting? How interesting.." The rest of the class was surprised by it as usually, they chant to cast a magic. Nanako then thrusts her sword towards Marcus but he dodged it and locked her arm between his legs and slammed her on the floor. "Are you okay? Can you still keep up with me?" Nanako stood up. "Yeah I won't lose that easily" "Let's go then. I'll show you what a real sword thrust looks like." Marcus thrusts his sword towards Nanako "Thunderflame Pierce!" As he thrust his sword forward, the lightning crackles along the blade, creating a blazing trail of fire. Nanako barely dodged it and Marcus hits the walls and it created a big explosion. "What the fuck are you trying to do? Kill me?" He yelled "What did you say? I didn't quite hear it." Nanako leaps towards him infused her sword with magic. "I said..." Nanako slashed her sword creating a strong wind current "Were you trying to kill me!?" It hits Marcus and the attack was powerful enough to create a big crack on that side of the arena. "I'm sorry I'm sorry. To show the sincerity of my apology, I would like to forfeit in this match." "Why?" "Like I said. To show the sincerity of my apology" Marcus stands up. "I'll be going back to the spectators. See ya." Marcus walks out. "What a strange guy..."
