After the announcement from the headmaster, a 10 years old girl began walking onto the stage.
After a closer look, all the students discovered that she is human.
She is wearing black gloves, a miniskirt of the same color and a sleeveless dress that seemed to lack even this color, making it looks like darkness itself embraced her slender body. The shiny fabric exposed her belly, and only two buttons holding it together where hindering it from showing even more.
On her thighs, there are two black leather leglets for each leg.
Her boots are also mostly black, with the only difference being the folded down red flaps with an even brighter red gem embedded to the very front of it.
Lastly, she's dressed in a black cloak which is flying on top of her shoulders, with two large red gems at its extremity on top of her shoulders.
Her haircut comprehends celestial blue hair that evolves into a twintails seemingly long enough to almost reach the ground.
Her eyes are completely red, emitting a faint light that can seem to proclaim 'death' to anyone who dares look in her eyes.
Once grown up, her figure will surely be what anyone would call an otherworldly beauty, a girl that can be desired by many but obtained by none.
Seeing her, the students are all in awe.
Walking up the stage, she glanced for a moment toward the headmaster and turned around to face the students.
Suddenly, she smirked while looking at the students, "Mortals, tremble before me, for I am Aura Azusa, the one who will conquer this world! I sincerely hope that some of you will at least be able to amuse me with your pathetic and futile attempts to defend yourself. If you are not confident to survive at least ten seconds, then don't even bother me, as I, Aura Azusa will not hold back."
Said her speech, she nonchalantly came back toward her seat, ignoring the dumbfounded looks from both the students and the headmaster.
Only a moment later did they realize what happened, and the earlier image of a sweet girl completely vanished from their minds, replaced now by the image of a tyrannical enemy, who they will ultimately defeat!
The students who were earlier seated close to her immediately distanced themselves, fearing to get implicated by someone who thinks they are friends with her.
The only ones that did not move are Shu Himo and Phylia, who are not too far from her, being just a couple chairs of distance!
The students, witnessing the trio felt to hear repeatedly their words, both the arrogant words from Shu Himo and the despising words from Aura Azusa, now looking at them with bloodshot eyes, they all swore to make them pay for this humiliation!
Shu Himo, seeing their reaction just chuckled and did not care at all, while Aura Azusa looked at the angry students as if they are just side-characters.
The headmaster seeing this reaction did his best to hold his laughter, thinking that it would be a good idea to have such motivation.
"Now that all the new students introduced themselves, I will explain some basilar things, especially for them."
Gathering his thoughts, he then continued, "In this academy, you don't have any obligation whether you skip the lessons to sleep all day or go complete missions... Anything you wish to do is possible here.
However, you need to get a result.
If not, the academy would expel anyone who stops progressing to next class!
A student beneath the Class C must enter the higher class within a year.
A student beneath the Class B must enter the higher class within three years.
A student beneath the Class A must enter the higher class within five years."
Laughing, he continued, "You don't want to be expelled, do you? If you manage to reach higher classes you will obtain better privileges, and the best of the best may even manage to enter the special section! Now then, you are now all free to do what you want!"
Hearing the headmaster, a couple of students immediately looked toward Shu Himo and Aura Azusa with fiery gazes.
"Both of you, let's fight a two against two, and we will see if you are still so arrogant." The one who just talked is from a couple of students at the Dantian Core Formation of the 3rd string, who are looking in contempt toward both Shu Himo and Aura Azusa.
Hearing them, Aura Azusa smirked, "Just you two? You should call at least more twenty to not make it boring!"
Not paying heed to her words, the same student just said, "Everyone, come to the duel arena! We will now fight a two against two and teach a lesson to the two arrogant newcomers!"
They then all went toward the arena, paying attention that the newcomers would not escape, but, why would Shu Himo and Aura Azusa try to leave? They happily tagged along for a few portals, until they finally reached the arena.
The arena appeared as an enormous stadium, with multiple squares of about a hundred meters on each side.
Shu Himo, Aura Azusa, and the two students went on one ring, while Phylia and the other students looked impatiently from behind.
No one noticed him, but the headmaster also came to see the fight, witnessing the arrogance of the new students he got quite interested in their real strength.
Everyone is ready to see the fight, but what they did not expect would be seeing Shu Himo and Aura Azusa suddenly playing rock paper scissors!
"Rock! Paper! Scissors!" Both Shu Himo and Aura Azusa then quickly threw their hands, showing their choices:
Shu Himo used Rock, while Aura Azusa used Scissors!
This means that Shu Himo won the chance to fight against the two students by himself!
"Nooo!" Dismayed, all that Aura Azusa can now do is go down from the square, full of sadness after losing her chance to play.
Shu Himo instead, happy to have won revealed a smile, "Haha! Both of you, come at me together!"
Seeing their behavior, the audience is dumbfounded while the two opponents are reddened in rage:
Both Shu Himo and Aura Azusa do not care about them at all!
