Chapter 11: Gift
Its new year's time and the whole city are covered in snow.
The exams for new students in Gerasis Academy will happen in the mid of this month and the results will be announced next month. And from the 3rd month, when the temperatures will go down a little bit, the studied will then start.
As for Hata Syuri, she has left her home for the academy first as, she is now in her final years and students in the final year have to stay in the academy only for one year, for higher studies.
Right now Michio is in mansion enjoying his 13th birthday
"Michio, can you come here for a second?" Tatsu asked Michio in a calm tone
Michio nodded to his teacher and walked near him
Tatsu said, "First of all, happy birthday and I hope that you will achieve what you want."
Tatsu is gentle in his tone as compared to his strict tone when he is giving training to Michio
Michio smiled at him
Tatsu continued "Now this my gift for you"
Tatsu took out a long shiny sword and gave that sword to Michio. It was heavy and long but still, it has its own charm
Michio bowed and took that sword from his teacher.
His bowing behavior made many people's present in hall shocked, as Michio is noble and his teacher is just a commoner.
This also made Tatsu shocked and he said "Please don't bow, it will make me awkward. You are a noble"
Michio smiled at his teacher and said "To me, a teacher doesn't have a class or any category. To me, he is a type of kind soul who puts everything on the line so his student could enjoy a life with no regret. I respect my teacher for giving his time and taught me things that will surely help me in achieving my dreams. I thank you for everything you have done so far."
Michio is no doubt a corrupted soul, but still, he never treated anyone based on their class or gender. To him, everyone is an equal soul
This whole scene made many people amazed, though some of them didn't care much but for Tatsu, it was something else.
Tatsu didn't have any words to express his feelings right now.
He just hugged Michio and said "You may not be the most genius kid that I had taught but surely you are the best student I had ever taught"
Michio didn't say anything and just nodded.
After that many other people also came to Michio and gave him gifts.
Thus the party ended
. . .
Time passed by days and then weeks, finally the time came for applying in Gerasis Academy
Michio in his carriage is on his way to the academy. He is alone right now as in Academy; his big sister will handle him
"We have reached our destination sir"
The carriage driver said
"hmm"
*door opens*
Michio steps outside the carriage in his winter clothes, as its still winter right now.
*whooo*
Cold winds blew his white hair
"so this is the best academy in this kingdom," Michio says to himself as he looked towards the building in front of him
The whole building is way over 20 floors and had many watchtowers around it.
Its color is white
Michio looked at the academy for a while and then took his first step and climbed the stairs.
(The carriage has already left)
. . .
With the help of senior students, Michio found the room where exams will take.
The exam was divided into 2 stages, first written and then practical
Michio sat on a seat and calmed his heart.
It was his first time to be in an exam, so he was nervous a little bit.
After a few minutes passed, a male entered and said "Students get ready, exams will start in a minute"
All students nodded and calmed down on their seats.
Then the exam took place, first was a written exam which had both combat and magic-related questions, which was easy so Michio didn't have any trouble
After that, the students were divided into 2 groups, magician and combat students
Then the 2 groups were lead by 2 different teachers into their own respective area
Michio followed his combat group and came to a big open place. And that time he also realized just how big the academy is as he could see no end of his school buildings
"I am impressed," Michio said in a low tone to himself
