Classmates

Justine entered Uni academy with the kids that also won the competition, following the knights who accompanied them towards here. As Justine was following the knights touring them around the academy, he felt something move in his bag and took a look at what was moving.

He looked into his bag and the first thing he saw was a purplish blue fur on the bottom of his bag, it was Aster!

Justine was surprised to see Aster in his bag,

napping while Justine was unknowingly carrying him in his bag. Justine decided to let Aster stay and find a way to keep him from being seen on campus instead of sending him back home.

' Not like anyone would be bothering me all the time anyways. ' Justine thought.

As Justine was being toured around on campus, he noticed that a lot of students had staffs on their back and few students had swords hanging around their waists. He also noticed that all of the girls have chosen to be mage and some boys also chose to be mages instead of being knights but that didn't surprise Justine as 60 percent of girls born already had the ability to circulate mana but without knowing how to use it, it was useless since they had no knowledge of how to use it to create spells and the like.

"Why are there more mages than knights here?"

Justine asked to the knight guiding them.

"That is because there is another school beside us in the capital that produce skilled knights, they are called Knights academy and they purely just teach boys to be knights as they believe that women are not fit to be knights, they are the 2nd best academy in the capital due to it's reputation of producing highly skilled knights and because it had stood longer than any other academies in the capital. " The knight answered.

Then another thought came to Justine.

' If they are the 2nd best, then there must be an academy where it also teaches students to be mages. '

The knight noticed Justine had a realization that there is another school besides Uni and Knights Academy in the capital so he explained.

" There is also another academy which is called Wizards and Witches Academy or WWA as they like to call it, they also teach their students to become outstanding mages and so far all of the people that had studied there had been atleast B rank as adventurers or at the 4th tier of magic expertise. Unlike Knights academy however, they also teach boys who have large enough mana pools to be possess the requirement to be called an apprentice mage."

"Then there are three Academies in the Capital?"

A boy who was with Justine and the others asked.

"Yes, and all of us hold a tournament each 10 years to see which academy goes up by a rank, you guys will learn about this as you continue to study here."

They kids were then led to their room which had 3 bunk beds with each bed in the bottom having two uniforms of different sizes lying on them with each having been measured perfectly for each of the kids to fit into.

Justine looked at his uniform and could see that it had long sleeves that reached up to his wrists, it was white in color and had golden colored lines on its collar, front placket and around the cuffs with an insignia of the school on the place where the front pocket is suposed to be, with all of the boy's pants being all white.

Althought it did fit the theme of the school being white in color on the outside, he saw that there were other students wearing different uniforms.

"You better hurry, right now it is time for you kids to go to your classroom to meet your classmates, so better get dressed quickly." The knight said, intending to make the kids move faster as their classes were starting.

As everyone got dressed, the girl who Justine had fought in the competition didn't dress yet as she was told, like most girls, to never undress when there are boys around her, so the boys hurriedly get dressed and waited outside for the girl to get dressed.

Finally, the girl came out with the same attire as everyone only, with a skirt.

All of them then made their way to their classroom, once they had entered, they had noticed that there were 20 other kids that were already seated. The desks of the classroom was setup with there being three columns and 5 rows with 5 tables and chairs each for the students. 2 tables and chairs on the right column, 2 on the center and 1 at the left where they were near the wall.

Justine saw a problem with this setup as they did not expect that there would be an extra child from a batch.

Luckily though, Justine was able to see a lone chair that was not even properly cleaned in the furthest row from the front.

The kids then decided on where they would sit and immediately went there, Justine had chosen to sit at the far back since it was the only chair available left and went on to sit by the window.

Minutes passed and the teacher has yetto show himself. As soon as Justine was already about to yawn at the boredom of waiting for the teacher, the teacher also burst into the classroom, looking like he had just run a marathon being sweaty and his hair messy.

The teacher first fixed his hair before bringing his attention to the kids in front of him,

"Hi kids, i am professor kain, and i will be your teacher for the rest of your time here in the academy, it is nice to meet you." The professor ended with a smile.

Justine examined his new teacher and found out that not only is his mana pool large, it was also very potent but not enough for it to be on the level of his, but enough that even a simple [ Fireball ] of his can burn through atleast 5 trees before stopping. Some would call that a genius in using magic but to Justine it was still pretty weak against someone like Kronos considering the trees were of a normal kind.

" Okay class, before we start our first lesson, how about you introduce yourselves to the rest of us."

"Let's start from up there, you young man, what is your name." As the man said this, he pointed at Justine who was at the very top of the back row.

When Justine realized the teacher was talking to him, his face went into an expression that said 'you...' but quickly held it in as he did not want to be seen as an unfriendly student or any of the kind.

"I'm Justine clayvon, i come from the village that is near the borders of the kingdom." he introduced himself in a lazy manner and one that did'nt care about what people might think, then simply just sat back down again.

"Ok...Justine, thank you for introducing yourself,

next is the girl that is near Justine, please introduce yourself."

Justine looked at the direction the teacher was looking at and saw the girl he had fought with back in the village.

'Come to think of it, we never did introduce ourselves to each other.' Justine thought while looking at the other kids from the same village as his.

" I'm Velvet, i come from the same village as Justine. " Velvet quickly introduced herself and sat back down.

The whole class introduced themselves one by one until the teacher also introduced himself.

" And finally, i'm Kain, your new teacher. " He intoduced with a smile.
