JACK'S POV
We the freshman students were all gathered in one hall and were seated across the large.
We were all seating down quietly at least that's how it was supposed to be.
The hall was currently rowdy with new students all moving around making friends, rivals, entourage, lackeys and the likes.
I just sat on my own while waiting for the ceremony to kick off. If I'm right then the one in charge of our entrance ceremony is _____
"Silence"
A dignified voice filled with authority spoke out.
With that single word everyone stopped speaking, it was more of a reflexive action than a voluntary one as his aura forced everyone to quiet down.
On stage there were about six people there who had seemingly appeared of nowhere.
Everyone was quiet and shocked as they had no idea how those six were suddenly standing in front of the hall.
That alone spoke of their strength.
"My name is Eric Richmond, I am the vice principal of Milles Academy". A man who seemed to be their leader spoke up.
He had blonde hair and deep blue eyes and a slightly thin body. He wore a blue suit, blue trousers, and black tie.
As he spoke, the mana in the air seemed to tremble slightly.
Eric Richmond; Milles Academy's vice principal, was an eight star mage at the very peak of the eight star realm.
Just to clarify an eight star mage is equivalent to an (S)-rank aura user.
And given that the strongest humans were (SS)-rank and there were only ten of them at that, would put this guy at the top of the pyramid in the human continent.
As soon as he introduced himself the gazes of the students save for a few changed to admiration as not only is the man in front of them at the top of the pyramid in strength, he is also the vice principal of the top academy in the human continent.
Meaning not only was he one of the strongest humans alive, he also had a lot of influence and connections throughout the continent.
As he started speaking, the hall became so quiet you could hear a pin drop as no one dared utter a word. Even those whose gazes were unmoved when the man introduced himself were quiet.
He started with the welcoming speech. And then proceeded to speak on a lot of things but nothing I didn't know.
He told the students about the dangerous situation humanity faced.
EXTINCTION. Never has humanity felt so close to extinction as they do now.
That's how serious the ongoing war against the six other races, five if you minus the dwarves who are already thinking of forming an alliance with humanity, was.
As for the other races they are dead set on wiping out humanity.
The only reason they haven't done so yet, is because there is a barrier surrounding earth that prevents (SS)-rank and above from entering the planet.
So the only (SS)-ranks on the planet are humans and so with much effort humanity has fought back this long.
After that he started encouraging the students to work hard, smart, and efficient and become as strong as possible to protect their loved ones and their fellow humans.
After the ceremony ended, everyone received a message on the phone the school gave them after the entrance exam, telling each person their class room.
When I saw which classroom I was in, I couldn't help but sigh in resignation. I mean I should have seen this coming.

I was in the same class as the protagonists. *SIGHHH* I sighed once again this time more of frustration than resignation.
And then a thought just popped in my head unexpectedly ' I'm going to alter the storyline aren't I?'.
"Fuck" I muttered under my breath. This is going to be a long three year stay.
