(After the meet with the Limian family, Felix went to register himself at school there were little bumps but at the end everything went smoothly but he was allotted a room with other black magic users and all of them were forbidden to enter the light magic dorms)
One week later, everyone was asked to assemble at the grand hall where the headmaster and other high class teachers and respected nobles along with their family were present, although only the light user's family came, no one from the black magic user's came, just to avoid any future troubles with the higher ups. All the black magic users were asked to stand at the back of the light users and were asked to maintain a safe distance, in other words they were saying "Don't get them corrupted like you all" this was hard for us, I mean we were treated like we were waste that the society never meant to create but since we exist they treat us like trash and they wonder why we rebel against them all the time. As we were lining up I saw the Limian family enter, the jerk brother was in his second year. He was wearing armor that every knight is given in this school including a weapon and a badge name. Badge names are basically a way to tell other people, the kind of person you are, your personality and various other stuff. That jerk prince saw me and gave me an evil smile, I could almost see the future were he would cause me unnecessary trouble, but then I saw Princess Claire again and it was okay, I mean for me but the other guys were just drooling over her beauty and since her brother had a reputation as knight she was immediately accepted by everyone, She turned and saw me with a smile she waved at me but I didn't respond to her which may have annoyed her a bit, she was a bit angry but didn't do anything and I just wanted to avoid any future troubles that's all.
(Grand mage Pearl and Great Knight Ray entered)
As they entered the hall was silent, they are a force to be reckoned with, they are not that old from us but had made a great name for themselves and unlike us there are no subdivisions among knights, so Knight Ray is just fine and a lot of pressure falls on Grand mage Pearl and sometimes this leads to huge arguments, however after their arrival they sat down and the headmaster came to the podium and gave us a welcome speech, this went for a while and then he said "Young ones, you must remember that you all have being given the power to do good in the society and I know for some people it is not possible so for those who are able to do it and save humanity must step forward at difficult times" he literally meant that black magic users are the reason for our society's destruction and must be taken care off if necessary, it made a very awkward and fearful environment for the black magic user's, but what pissed me off that none of them were saying a single thing so I wanted to say that you are wrong but the girl beside me held my hand and said "Don't act irrationally, I understand how you feel, but if you say even a single word it will be very difficult for the rest of us, so please stay down" I started calming myself down and at that moment I lost complete respect for the headmaster. Then after crushing all the spirits of black magic user's he said "Now students, you all will be coming one by one and will place your hand on this holy water and then a marking will appear on your hand that's your badge Id, which will be valid and used all over the school and even the world outside. After that you need to place your hand on the magic ball here and it will translate that marking for you and also tell everyone here what your marking means, so without any further due let's begin the ceremony" he left the podium after saying that and then one by one everyone started dipping their hands in water and placing it on the magic ball. Some were happy , some were not even among the light magic user's and those who got somewhat decent names among the black magic user's were not that welcomed by the light magic one's and some of them even raised their voices to the grand mage but were silenced by Knight Ray. Then one individual came forward and a very familiar one at that, it was none other than prince Aaron and when he placed his on the ball his marking translated to "Warrior" the hall went nuts listening to this because no one this young should have gotten the title of warrior, it's a huge deal even among nobles, it is one way of saying that he could be the savior of the world, but I knew his personality and I thought it was unfair but I couldn't do anything about it. He went straight to princess Claire and said "Princess Claire see, I am born great and now it's your turn to go their ,do your best" he smiled and left, the people started talking about her and prince Aaron's engagement but she paid no attention to it and dipped her hand in the holy water and as soon as she did that the holy water started to glow, which astonished everyone, the grand mage Pearl said "Princess please do move forward and place your hand on the ball" so with haste she did it and it translated to "Hope" which made grand mage Pearl stood up from her chair and went towards her and said "Princess Claire, I didn't think someone would be given this badge name, it literally means the hope for living" you can see the smile on Princess Claire from miles away she was that happy then the grand mage said "Princess Claire, you can also be considered as the goddess of light's closest ally in this matter. I have great expectations from you." with that she was send back and once again the crowd went nuts, her parents also came down from their seats and congratulated her, although the brother wasn't that happy but he still managed to put a smile on that face and there was just total chaos to a point were headmaster has to use his magic to silent everyone and said "King of Limian, I know that you are happy for your daughter but we have to continue the ceremony, so please sit down" he was just about to go when I was called, I literally saw his face change from pleasant to total disgust but I didn't paid any attention to it, although the other students even the black magic user's were whispering about how I am a Nomian and all that stuff, but I kept my mind cool and dipped my hand in the water, but then something sinister happened, the holy water turned pitch black and once again it astonished the grand mage and everyone so she came towards me and and said "Prince Felix, please remove your hand from the holy water" I did what she asked me to do and then looked at the water and with a heavy breath said "We cannot use this water anymore" their was silence in the hall and the headmaster asked her to explain and she said "In plain terms this holy water has been corrupted" headmaster stood up and said "How can the holy water be corrupted ? Are you trying to say that student's black magic made the holy water unholy" she bowed her head and said "It seems to be the case headmaster" at that time everyone was just silent, whispering among each other and were a little bit afraid, but then the grand mage came to me and said "The darkness that's inside you is very pure, place your hand on the ball" I won't lie even I was scared for a moment, the guards were looking at me and were just waiting for the order to arrest or kill me and the people were looking at me with anger and fear, I with hesitation placed my hand over the ball and the translation just added fuel to all this and it was like everyone's jaw dropped, I looked at princess Claire even she looked worried because it translated down to "Reaper". After the the ceremony was done we were allotted rooms and I now was very thankful that they separate Light and Black magic user's and everyone was given their own room even the black magic user and the key was our marking you just have to use this to enter the room, after explaining all this we were asked to leave and were told to prepare for our first class tomorrow.
