"My name is Dark Flame. 16 years old.—"
However, before he continues, Cassandra throws a chalk on him that hit his head.
"Use your real name."
"Yes."
Her attention returned to the book while he restarted.
"My name is Kuro Navairus. 16 years old. I like my dark flame and obviously, I'm a mage."
He showed the black flame in his hand, feeling proud how cool he think he is.
Unfortunately, this made him look more like an idiot.
"My hands! Argh! The power that has been sealed— Ack!"
The next student show painful expression as he hold his left hand while telling a unnecessary words.
Cassandra knows that these kinds of kids exist but she didn't expect that there's two on her own class.
Despite knowing what would happen to him, the student continued to act until Cassandra threw a chalk at him, which hurt enough to make him stop.
Seeing her dagger stare, the student decided to properly introduce himself.
"Feliz Navidad. 16 years old. I like— No, I dream to dominate the world and I'm a combat mage."
At the very least, he has a dream, but why dominate the world?
"My name is Holly Wood. 17 years old. I like dolls and I'm a scythe fighter."
Her doll faces made everyone think that her like become one with her.
Most girls believe that a gothic outfit would be appropriate for her.
However, a scythe? Seriously?
As someone who enjoys fashion, Lucia imagined Holly fighting in a battle while wearing a goth outfit and holding a scythe.
"Unexpectedly, it is oddly fitting for some unknown reason."
The introduction continues.
"Good morning, everyone! I'm Mai Precious. 16 years old. I like seeing guys doing "manly" things together and I'm a mage."
Everyone sighed as they heard her, thinking how another rotten girl had wasted her beauty.
"I didn't expect to have these kinds of classmates."
The next person unintentionally expresses her true feelings, but she does not care.
Even though everyone was irritated by how she said it, they decided to ignore it because it was a waste of energy.
"My name is Laura Von Fontanilla. 17 years old. I like teas and sweets and I'm a swordsman."
A blonde-haired woman who exudes confidence.
It appears that she comes from a noble family, which is why she looks down on them.
However, there is an exception.
Laura steals a glance at Alex's place, hiding her blush under her fan.
"My name is Raven Arknight. 17 years old. I like to train and I'm a swordsman."
"My name is Henry Arknight. 17 years old. I like to wander around and I'm a swordsman too."
From their faces, everyone can tell that they came from the same family because of how almost similar it is.
However, based on their seating arrangement, Raven and Henry are at opposite ends of the seat, with Laura in the center.
It appears that the three of them were able to enter the school through some sort of backdoor, but they have no proof, so they decided not to think about it.
"I'm Onna Yuki. 17 years old. I like snow and I'm a mage."
Her tone of voice contradicted her expression, which confused everyone for a moment.
She appears to be trying to sound cheerful but is unable to conceal her cold expression.
"I'm Jackie Han. 16 years old. I like sweets and I'm a swordsman."
Everyone is confused by her or him?
They are not sure if she is a he or a she, but they can not help but think how adorable he/she is.
Fortunately, Cassandra has the student booklist and has read that he is a boy; otherwise, she might mistake Jackie for a girl.
Alex senses that everyone is looking at him.
This is the cue he is been waiting for, so he gets up and introduces himself.
"I'm Alex Hambell. 16 years old. I like reading books and my class is an investigator."
Everyone gasps, surprised to hear about his class, as being an investigator is not an easy class.
Although this may seem similar to an assassin, the assassin's abilities are far more useful in battle than the investigator's.
However, the existence of a few investigators makes this irrelevant.
Hearing his surname and his class, they immediately connected to a certain famous investigator.
Is he connected to her or not?
Similar questions arise, but no one has an answer for the time being.
Also, they understand that every class has a flaw or flaws, and it all comes down to your skills.
After his introduction, Alex had no intention of listening to the rest, but when he saw the next person, he felt something strange.
A blonde woman with pink hair tips.
He could not put it into words, but the longer he looked at her, the more he felt a spark.
This was not love at first sight, but he felt an unknown sensation in his heart.
She can be described as beautiful, but for some reason, everyone realizes this after her turn.
"My name is Erica Leadale. 17 years old. I like flowers, and I am a healer mage."
Cassandra closes her book, and it vanishes like a popping bubble.
"Now that we know each other, I am going to leave. This is your first day, but there will be no class during my session."
"Can I ask why?"
"Nicole, correct? This is not confidential, but it has to do with recent news, and we, as teachers and instructors, must investigate it ourselves.This is why we are having this meeting right now."
"Recent news? Oh! about the missing people?"
"You are right. It is about the missing people. Anyway, enjoy a half-day of freedom before the suffering, and we will see you tomorrow."
As soon as Cassandra leaves, everyone starts talking to each other and tries to make friends.
Alex has no intention of talking to anyone right now because he is nearing the end of the book he is reading, but as expected, someone will bother him.
"Alex, right? I am Laura Von Fontanilla. May I speak with you?"
'You are already speaking to me.'
Alex has been bothered by her last name, but he assumed it was a coincidence, but what if it isn't?
"What do you want to talk to me about, my lady?"
"M-my—!"
Laura looks away with a flushed face.
As expected, his charm is too much for a girl like her.
She coughed to calm down.
"I am here to become friends with you. Will you accept to have tea with me after our class?"
Looking behind her, Alex noticed that Raven and Henry, her guards, were telling him to say no.
However, seeing this makes him want to say yes.
'Seriously, a tea? It is not obvious that she wanted to be alone with me.'
Despite this, he did not mock her, but rather became more interested in her.
'Experience…'
"I gladly accept your invitation, Lady Laura."
"I am glad you accepted my invitation. Although I wanted to continue talking with you, I am not that selfish."
Laura noticed that some people wanted to get close to him, so she decided to continue the conversation later.
Henry and Raven glare at him, but Alex does not care.
She smiles and returns to her seat.
Everyone thought Alex was cold, but after seeing his attitude toward Laura, they began to encircle him.
There are some exceptions, but this does not imply that they have no interest in him.
They are here to grow stronger and find an ally for the future, and having a charming person like Alex is the best start for them to gain some authority over the other students.
