Entrance Ceremony

As we came to a halt Elise and Ben felt it and woke up from their sleep. Elise realising she was resting on my shoulder quickly stood up, covering her blushed face with her hands. If she levels up when she blushed she will be the strongest person on earth.

Gilbert opens the door and moves to the side then bows like a real gentleman.

"Good job Gilbert." I said, patting his shoulder as I came down. Elise, the twins and Ben followed suit and came down one after the other.

We walk to the large golden gate and are allowed to enter as special students while the other students stood in line. Well, of course, my father is the one and only Overlord after all.

We entered the school and the one word I can use to explain the site is 'beautiful'. In the middle of the school, there is a giant statue of a wizard with a long hat holding a book in his left hand and a wand in his right. Then to make it even more alluring, water is rotating around the statue in a circular motion to make it look like the statue is using magic.

There are four buildings, two on each side that are 5 stories each. Then right after the large statue, a building that looks like two of the buildings at the side combined can be seen.

The students loitering around are many and now it's getting hard to know what I'm supposed to do.

Suddenly, a tall figure about 6 feet is making his way towards us. As he comes closer I can see his face clearer. He has red hair that is short and looks silky as it is combed back to bring out the real gentleman in him. His eyes are also red and he is quite handsome but not as much as me. He is wearing a white suit jacket, which he didn't wear completely as I can see the hands move with the wind; under the suit jacket, he is wearing a white double-breasted inner suit jacket fully buttoned and with a white tie.

"Greetings. My name is Linerk Vane from the Vane family and I am the Vice President of the Student Council. I have been told someone from a prestigious family is arriving today," I walk forward a bit, puffing my chest and wearing a cheeky grin because I already know who he is talking about, "I will serve as your escort," Yes, he's about to say it, "...Miss Elise Venorth."

What the?! It wasn't me he was talking about?

Does he not know me?

How shocking.

"Please if you will come this way." Says Linerk, using his hand to gesture forward.

Linerk started talking about the rules and regulations of the school and identified some buildings and mentioned their use. Sincerely, I didn't listen to a thing he said because I'll still do whatever I want when I want, so what's the point of listening? And no, I'm not angry because he didn't recognise me or anything.

"The Entrance Ceremony will soon commence, so I have to go and prepare for my speech, and you my fellow students need to put on the school uniform so you can enter the Hall." He spoke elegantly, and his speech is always directed to Elise only, like Ben and I didn't exist.

We have gotten to one of the two buildings on the left side, using the wizard statue as a reference.

We entered a door on the first floor and it looks like it is where the school keeps and sells student's books and uniforms.

The attendant is a woman with black hair and a round face that looks like she's in her 20s. After sharing greetings, she handed the uniforms to us and each of us entered one of the various changing rooms to wear them. Ben and I have different colours of blazers, mine is dark blue while Ben's is red; with a white long-sleeve shirt and black trousers, only the blazers are different. Elise is wearing a black skirt and a dark blue blazer, similar to mine but feminine.

We admired our uniforms because they fit perfectly. I inspected the female attendant and figured she uses thread magic, so she practically made it fit.

Linerk directed us(Elise) to the Hall and still blabbed about the history of the school and how his family helped it grow. He is seriously getting on my nerves.

"Here we are, and now if you'll excuse me, Miss Elise." Says Linerk, then he quickly left.

We entered the hall. It is filled with chairs and is large enough to accommodate over a thousand students. The hall is already partly filled, and students are still rushing in to find seats.

We waited for a little while after we found our seat and we could see students complain at the back for not being able to find seats.

I looked up at the pulpit and I could see a man with the same attire as the statue in the middle of the school but now his is coloured blue.

"Silence." Says the middle-aged man, releasing a tiny fraction of his aura and that made the hall go silent in an instant.

"Greetings young warlocks. I am the Head Wizard of this institution, Marld Bane. It's a pleasure to meet all of you and I hope you all try your best and work hard to be the best in your given fields. I am busy at the moment, so the Student Council President will take over from here." After Marld Bane finished speaking he left.

Ten students wearing the same attire as Linerk Vane emerged from the side curtains of the pulpit. They all had dignifying steps as they made their way to the middle of the pulpit.

Linerk Vane stood at the side of a student his height but has blue hair and is wearing glasses. I turned to look at Ben but he used his right hand to cover the freakish look he had.

"Good day my friends. I am the current Student Council President, Grant Grail." Says the blue-haired student, making me realise why Ben had that expression. He is one of part of the people that destroyed Ben's early years, the Grail family.

"These people here are my colleagues and I shall continue from where Wizard Bane stopped. As we all know magic cannot be taught but there are mage classes that broaden our scope on our various magic types; the selection process of distinguishing the students is controlled by the school's analysis on which class will make you a better mage but every one of you can object to it and study in any mage class you want. I will not like to see discrimination among you or else I'll be forced to take drastic measures in making sure that student will be punished dearly."

After he said that I didn't listen anymore since he just stated the rules and regulations of the school and the consequences of breaking them.

Ben is still staring at the Student Council President with looks of pure hatred for him and his family.

After an hour, the entrance ceremony came to an end and we are being directed to the training ground where wizards check the magic type of students. They also give counsel on the mage-class the student should enter and also pick outstanding students to mentor.

The training ground is located behind the school, where the hostels are and looks like stadiums from the earth in the other universe I travelled to but not nearly as sophisticated.

There are three booths with large crystals that show the magic type the individual is inclined to using the five basic magic types to estimate. The booths have two wizards each.

The students stood in a single line for each booth and patiently waited and moved forward slowly but steadily.

I starting to pay attention to everything going on around me I listened to what the wizards call out for the students.

"Riley Azel. Fire type-magic. Caster mage class." The wizard on the line I'm on called out the result of the yellow-haired boy that just checked.

After he called that boy's name, a student from the back made called out,

"Oh my goodness! Elise, is that you?" The student is a boy that has pointy ears longer than Elise's and long white hair, long for a boy that is.

"V-Vin Drale?!!" Elise looked like she just saw a ghost.

"What is your useless and weak self doing in school? Don't tell me you're learning magic!"

I can't let this unknown individual insult, my friend, for no reason, but I still have to be cautious.
