Chapter 1 - Introduction Part 2

In the quiet moments before the day's adventure, Ace was stirred from his slumber by the relentless ringing of his clock. The day ahead promised more excitement then a regular school day. He gazed the clock. He realized he was already running late. "Damn, another late start for school," Ace muttered, swiftly, he donned his school attire and raced to make up for lost time. As he hurried, he couldn't help but lament, "Can't believe I'm already 20 minutes late on my first day. How depressing." Ace utilizing his teleportation magic opened a portal for swift travel. "Better teleport now, or I'll be in real trouble," he mumbled. The portal emerged at the rear of the school, an area littered with refuse and debris. "Ugh, the back entrance is disgusting," Ace grumbled, soaring over the heaps of discarded trash. He eventually arrived at the school's main entrance, but before he entered, he couldn't help but express his disgust. "Great, the front looks pristine, but the back is a total mess." Amid the chaotic school day, Ace's best friend Aton Deliros called out to him. "Hey, Ace!" Aton greeted him with enthusiasm. Ace replied with a casual grin, "What's up, Deli?" Aton, playfully admonishing his tardy friend remarked, "You're late, Ace." Ace chuckled at Aton's playful scolding. "Yeah, yeah, whatever. So whats our next class?" Aton informed him, "We've got magic lessons with Mr. Satu." Ace couldn't help but groan. "Oh great, my least favorite teacher." His disdain was palpable. After an eventful class, the school's principal made an important announcement through the intercom system. "Attention, students. Tomorrow, we will be conducting magic and aura testing examinations to determine your Rank." Ace grumbled to himself. "Great, another problem." However, Aton was ecstatic. He jubilantly exclaimed, "Yayyyyy! Finally, I'll be able to flex my abilities!" Stars appeared above his head, and he sported a happy, blushing expression. As the school day came to a close, Ace walked back, striving to maintain a semblance of normality. Yet, fate had other plans. In a dark alley, he stumbled upon a group of menacing bandits attempting to assault an innocent girl. Ace couldn't ignore this dire situation. He though, "I'm not a hero but neither a villain, but I should investigate before the situation takes a dangerous turn." Stepping into the alley, his footsteps echoed. The bandits shivering in fear from his imposing presence, warned in a quivering voice, "Who's there? I will hurt you!" Ace couldn't help but chuckle wickedly. "HAHAHAHA!! Did you say 'hurt me'?" Swiftly, he decapitated the first bandit, his eyes dark and ominous. "Next."
