Abandoned by his family at an early age, Josh seeks to become a great magician.

But after so many years of testing himself in the identifying orb, he still got no innate element identified.

With failing scores, he is not hopeful to pass the entrance examination for magic academies or the technical ones. 

Since he got literally nothing to lose anymore, except his stuffed toy Polar Panda, he decided to go and do the test.

And to his surprise, he passed the exam and got admitted in not just any magic or technical academy, but the advanced magic academy.

"I think I'm done… Yeah, that should be all from me for this lecture. We will only have one lecture per week for elements. In the next weeks, we will focus on specific elements. Your mornings from Tuesday to Friday will be for technical classes like science, grammar, technology, biology, and classified biology. I think the new students should go to the 'training grounds' building after this… That's all! See you again!"


After Luigi dismissed the class, the students got up and walked on their way out.


"A-a-ouch! My back hurts. Three hours won't do. This is torture." One guy said to his friend sitting next to him.


"I feel you, bro. Yeah like I feel you through my skin. I like you, bro~ " The other guy said, then he hugged him.


"Fuck! No Homo bro." The guy said while peeling himself away from the other one.


"No bro, this is a hug between bros, no homo bro."


"HAHAHA! Okay okay, hahaha, you're my partner in the training, right?"


"Urghh… my head kinda hurts, like real bad."


"Do you want to go to the clinic first before we go to training?" The green hair girl said to him.


"Hm? No, girl, it's fine. I get headaches a lot while studying. I don't want to be absent in the first class."


"Then, why did you let me eat with you earlier?"


"That? Well… because I thought there were no more seats?"


"Look here. Do you know what we will do on the training grounds?"


"No? This is our first day of classes… isn't it?"


"It is. You did not receive any messages or emails yesterday?"


"Oh… I didn't notice it… Wait, but why are you asking?"


"The training is done in pairs. They announced it through email. We did not pass our forms, actually almost half of our batch did not pass their forms, and we were automatically paired. I messaged you yesterday… Josh."


"Uhm, nice to meet you Krizel! I'm Josh." He told him with his right hand extended ready for a handshake.


"…" Krizel looked at Josh's arm and lightly narrowed her eyes. But she still accepted, and they did shake their hands.


Krizel and Josh then walked together toward the training grounds.


"I thought you know since you let me sit with you."


"Eh? There are five empty sits at my table, so even if it is not you, I will let them sit…"


They walked with a little awkward air around them.


When all of the new students reached the building, they were greeted by a muscular man.


"GOOD MORNING LITTLE BRATS! CALL ME RICO BECAUSE I LOVE POTATO! WAHAHAHAHA!"


"I'll be your instructor for training. I'm an evolved healing element magician, so you can go WILD! HAHAHAHA!"


"Just make sure to keep your brain and heart intact, and I can make you look like brand-new."
