The admission ceremony was a grand event that great nobles and important people in the capital and beyond came to, the event specifically created for the students who passed the enrollment exam and then the official recognition award for the top four squads in both factions .
Itsuki who is dressed formally in the attire Akira picked for him ;a black suit with a black tie with blue lines . He seemed really handsome as he walked over to the rest of the squad holding a glass of fine 'blue blood wine ' ; the best wine in the noble society.
The Boys of the squad seemed really attractive wearing the same type of suit in the same style , Riku looked more muscular in his suit, Yakeru's height seemed increased Fuji looked handsome as before and the rest of them wowed the visitors at their ceremony, meanwhile the girls also had a black theme dress but different styles making them look all beautiful.
After the hug she gave Itsuki after his fight, Umeko seemed to stay around him more and they both engaged in conversation staying together throughout the gala .
" Hey , don't you think Umeko is getting real closer to Itsuki" Kenji yawned staring at Yakeru and Tatsuo , " Everyone just met so they are probably knowing each other more nothing much" Tatsuo stated while drinking from his cup.
" Kenji is right Tatsuo, those two are more closer than Itsuki to the boys , i have a crazy feeling Itsuki is gonna chose her as his vice "Hikari smiled and turned to Riku " Well everyone is free to be in a relationship and he's captain so he can chose whoever he wants as vice that ain't mean anything " Riku said while drinking he poked at Yakeru and called out " you ain't doing anything but smiling , you ain't gat nothing to say hunh " Yakeru turned to look at Riku and the rest " I got nothing to say ...." He paused and drank from his cup again then he continued " Both aren't going to be a thing trust me Umeko doesn't really fall for dudes so fast and Itsuki seems to be like Riku he has nothing inside of him it's just a hollow body without a heart".
The boys faced the two who were standing in a distance watching as both giggled out loud where they stood .
On another side of the hall staring at both Itsuki and Umeko were the girls in the squad " what doesshe think she's doing" Mizuki bellowed and scuffed she turns to look at Natsume he giggles "what's so funny!" Mizuki glared at Natsume
" The two seemed like a good pair ,you know" Natsume said and turned to look at Mizuki who frowned at her "I disagree Itsuki shouldn't be going out with some girl without telling me I am like his elder sister i deserve some respect you know " Mizuki bellowed again and then Unmei tagged in " You know, i am backing Mizuki. Umeko and Itsuki don't seem to look like a huge fit they are probably not meant to be..." Natsume giggled again staring at Unmei "what ?!" Unmei asked frowning" Do you like him ?" Natsume asks then immediately Mizuki, Yume and Unmei turns red and scream " what no ..... He's not my .... Type" " Me... I already have a boyfriend..... I don't like him" " he's so weak ..... He can't be my boyfriend at all" then suddenly everyone turns to Yume who talked last "Who you calling weak ! " Mizuki glared at Yume who sinks into her chair and squeaks "Find a better excuse next time, the one you used isn't worthy " Natsume laughed at Yume and then they began to point at the other boys in the squad teasing each other with the boys' names as they drank from their wine .
Meanwhile listening to them for a while now,the members of Mystic Rouges cracked up laughing " Are these the first of the fird squad in faction one , they all seem tragic " a white hair among the Mystic Rouges said causing the rest of his squad members crack up again.
Then suddenly a loud squeak sound was heard through the hall and then a clearing of the throat , The vice principal of Enchanted Academy;Marko Crystellor began to talk.
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to this once in three years ceremony and i am thrilled to have again the best students in the entire nation and beyond join this highly esteemed school " a round of applause erupted throughout the hall .
" It is wonderful to come here again and see the future protectors of our school just like we have seen in the past years , Today's awards are going to be brief as we want to continue with the gala so ladies and gentlemen have your seats as we call on the faction one top four awards " another round of applause erupted as the people in the hall took their seats " for every squad we call the captain and vice captain of the team should step out and recieve their awards and please i want loud sets of awards as these students walk out ... So for the number four squadin faction one Star Clovers captain and vice captain come get your award " applause erupted in the hall again as a red haired female captain and her black hair female vice stepped foward to recieve an award , as they were shaking hands withthe cabinet captains the daredevil squad were having a talk with Akira "so Itsuki who are you taking as your vice captain...." When Akira receives no reply she continues,"okay then we'll go like this , i want the flowers for putting together and conducting the affairs of the best squad so we want to have some glam , so we wanna make headlines; how about ' The first E-rank captain of all time and a noble handsome bestfriend vice '....." Then Akira shakes their head turning to look at Yakeru the over pompous " what if we have ' first E-rank captain and his Sister like beauty'..." Mizuki giggled and Akira shaked her head again " ah ah ..... I've got it ' first ever strongest E-rank captain and noble blue hair beauty top couple duo' ....." Umeko blushed as Akira nodded at her " you are going with him baby girl get as close as possible to make everyone think you're a couple" Yakeru laughed uncontrollably .
Umeko blushed really hard but kept her cool , she looked towards Itsuki who didn't seem to be moved by the words of Akira ,he just sat there staring at the stage where the vice principal was already calling on the number four squad in the faction " ladies and gentlemen the number four squad from faction two , New dawn the captain and vice captain move foward please ... A round of applause please" A tall Auburn hair boy walked alongside another boy who was shorter than the Auburn hair,the short boy had red hair and swayed on the aisle ,although the short one looked more mature until it was known that the short one was the captain of the squad they accepted their awards and went to their seats with a loud applause accompanying them .
"For the number three squad in faction one we have Vain a round of applause please....." The applause started as an average height girl walked foward with another average height guy they both had black hair and looked very much alike they were twins and they got more applause as they walked back with their award, "the third squad in faction two ladies and gentlemen a round of applause for Shield " two boys walked foward and moved to the stage , one had orange hair and the other with brown hair they both were muscular and ripped they looked like gangsters they accepted their award and went to their seats "now for the second squad in faction one a round of applause for Fortnight " A tall guy with long black hair walked forward with a little girl with the same hair follow him the both accepted their award and moved to their seats "The second squad in faction two .... Another round of applause for Heroes " A guy with good looks walked foward with another guy also with good looks both had brown hair but different looks they walked like best friends and acted like brothers while collecting their award "now that showbiz see how they did it that's cause they wanna get on paper you guys should do better "Akira pointed out staring at both Itsuki and Umeko.
"Now for the number one squad in faction two as i was instructed by my principal to call first Mystic Rouges..... Please everyone should be on their feats to applaud these warriors " then white hair guy walked forward with another girl who had pink hair they walked casually to get their award and strolled back casually to their seats.
"Last but not the least the best squad in Faction one,the wow factor of this year's enrollment exam, ladies and gentlemen stand on your feet again to invite the best squad of this year's enrollment exam the Daredevils..." The applause sounded louder than all the other done before, Itsuki stood up and layed his hands out to Umeko "My lady ..." Umeko blushed and placed her hand on Itsuki's hands and stood up they crossed their hands around each other's hands and walked towards the stage staying closely like couples on a walk in the park, Umeko's blue hair swayed as she moved in her short black gown which had a bare top with black straps over her shoulder like a pinafore she wore a white shirt under the straps and her curves shaped out really well ,her black dress and Itsuki black suit matched as they walked hand in hand to the stage .
Then comments from the crowd starting buzzing around " those two look like an awesome couple don't you think" "isn't that the E-rank he looks stronger than i expected and look at the beauty by his side aren't they a wonderful pair "
The applause increased as Itsuki recieved the award he shaked hands with the cabinet captains while Umeko held on to his arms she smiled at all the people she met ,the captain of Testaments ;Kei Mirai walked over to shake Itsuki and Umeko " Are you two together cause you are going to make headlines tomorrow , judging from your closeness you both are an awesome couple i hope your relationship grows " Kei stated as she shaked Umeko and then Itsuki said " I'll take of her maam ,i promise " Umeko turned to look at itsuki's face - for the first time she began to admire his face - she smiled and turned red and then both of them turned to go back to their seats the applause sounded more louder than when they came to the stage . Umeko faced up and kissed Itsuki mildly on the cheek," know that we are acting don't get to close " Itsuki turned to look at her , Umeko then turned to look away but then Itsuki smiled after looking up back at their seats Akira held Umeko's hand and smiled at her " you are a natural kiddo ,you are so beautiful " and then Akira turned to Itsuki and smirked " hey mr bone head , why all the attitude. You were acting all mighty with a beauty by your side and what did you tell Kei " .
Itsuki smiled and faced Akira " Nothing much she was just asking how i felt "
Akira smiled and they all turned to the stage again watching the principal talk .
" Let's all raise our glasses for a toast to another set of students in this prestiged Academy, To the future protectors of Pixon , The brave warriors that'll put their life on the line to save pixon from threats ,Ladies and gentlemen cheers to the Future Silver knights " Principal Akira said as she urged everyone to raise their glasses and immediately she was done with her speech ,everyone hit their glasses against each other's glasses the activity went on for while and everyone had their seat again.
At the Daredevils' table Umeko stared at Itsuki for a while having the thoughts - What's wrong with me , i have been clinging to Itsuki for a while and to be fair we just met , anything that happens now is just cause of the roles we are to play for the media and Itsuki kinda already knows how to handle this i shouldn't be loving someone who doesn't seem to love me !,I feel so fucked up already falling for him -
she stared at him again and saw that he wasn't paying attention to her and she turns her head away meanwhile Itsuki also battled in his head with his thoughts - I think i shouldn't have said that to Umeko, we could probably make a good couple ,but i have to forget about that ,i have to face my mission as i promised Saiten ,No distractions - .
Itsuki turned to look at Umeko who had turned her face away talking to Natsume Itsuki smiled and silently said to himself "It's for our own good bt I'll do as i promised ; I'll protect you with the last blood in my viens and hats because I never go back on my words. " Itsuki turned away and laughed as he listened to the boys say something really funny he had his mind set - Umeko would be a best friend nothing more- he got back to reality and drank from his cup answering everyone's greetings as they passed by ,smiling at them to attract them as supporters of the Daredevils......
