It's Starting !

After Luke leaves the dean's office, the dean sighed and looked outside of the window...She then began conversing"Luke, you said that the first years are not mature enough so they might cause trouble when they get familiars, but do you realise that you are asking a first-year to be your punching bag. I feel like you are the one not matured yet, there is a big difference between you both and he is also not a mage, it feels really childlike. Anyway I also want to see how much this brat Aether improves in his creations and I also ask him to create some for the academy, I wonder if he's going to use them for this, that's the reason why I accept this event to commence." The dean then takes a deep breath "I think she's also coming very soon, I wonder how she will react, hahaha." The dean then moved to her chair and continued doing her work.

Aether who was at the mechanical lab checking his mechanisms for the last time just to make sure everything is okay. Just as he was working on them, he stopped for a moment and thinks why he accepted the president's request. "There were two reasons why I accepted his requests. One is to see how much strong the chosen ones are with their familiar combined and the second one is to test my new creations' capabilities, I want to see how much longer they can last. For that, the Child Of lights of year 5 is perfect to test my creations. It's a win-win no matter what happens, who knows if I am lucky the president might pay for using my creations to show their abilities. Seriously though, they were each strong individually, I can feel the pressure coming out of them clearly. How much resources did the academy use to supply them, I don't even think I can't win fighting all of them." Then Aether touched his head and sighed "Sigh! there are many new faces with extraordinary power showing up in this academy or to be more precise finally showing themselves. Who knows what will happen when I am careless." Aether then contained his work checking his creations. It seems like everything is okay and then he just uses his magic to see if there are any loose spots or not. There were some so he tights them.

After finishing everything, Aether decides to go to his dorm to take a rest and yes the next day the rumours already go around and many people started asking Aether if he is really giving his creations for the year 5 chosen to demonstrate their power. Even Claire asked Aether," Aether, is what I heard really true?. Are you really okay with that?." Aether replies yes and said that everything will be fine and she doesn't have to be worried about him "Seriously, worry about yourself first." Aether said with a smirk on his face. Claire hits on his head and said be careful. Then she went back to her classes...

"Seriously why are all of them asking me about this, why don't they ask the year 5 chosen ones, I wasn't even able to walk peacefully today. Everyone is staring at me and some are somehow worried, why are they even worried? it's not like I am going to get hurt or die something, besides I also won't be fighting with them head to head. It's my creations who will be fighting with the chosen ones, or is there something I don't know about the year 5 chosen ones, Nah I don't think so," Aether was mumbling to himself in his dorm. It also seems like most of the interrogations are from girls. This thing continued till the event and Aether was really uncomfortable.

Six days have passed and the night before the event in Aether's dorm. "Man! all the eyes are on me, what did I even do. It's not me who asked the president that I would volunteer myself. Anyway, I need to check my mana manipulation before the event tomorrow so that it won't leak out during the event. It's becoming hard to suppress all my magic lately and I am also training swords with teacher Rune, so it's getting hard with time, she is also trying to kill me so I have to be careful if I lose focus, I am dead." Aether then releases his mana and all the moving things in his room moved slowly for a few seconds...Aether stretches his hands and "Man, that felt good! I don't do this often since being with non-mages most of the time won't be a problem, but I am facing the year 5 chosen ones here. It will be a problem if anything happens".

The next day and also the day the event begins. Every student from year one gathered at the Capital one Area including the year one chosen ones. They weren't many teachers who attended since it's not an official match. Even the dean nor the headmaster were there. Akabane teacher was there since it will one of her students participating in today's event. " Aether is going to participate, I am looking forward how much he has improved. I always feels that he is different than others, it's one of the reasons why I am looking forward today," Akabane teacher muttered to herself while sitting in the arena.

This tournament isn't about who is winning and who is losing, it's about one's power. All the students are not looking forward to seeing who will win but to seeing the year 5 choose one's power with their mana beasts. It's something obvious, after all they are Elites of this academy...Every student has already gathered and they are just waiting for the year 5 chosen ones and Aether to make their appearance. Everyone was gossiping excitedly about seeing their power live and some brought popcorn to eat. I guess they are trying to enjoy this event to the max.

The first one to arrive was the year 5 chosen ones with the president standing in front of the others. Seeing that all the students started cheering. They are welcoming them by cheering them. All of the chosen waves their hands to everyone there. "I will crush him today, the dean's not here? I thought she will come to see this and I will show her that boy is just useless, tch! no matter." It seems like Luke was expecting the dean to show up but unfortunately she didn't. Shanny who was holding her hands together " It's just a demonstration, everything will go alright," hopes that nothing will go wrong. Everyone is here, the last one everyone is waiting is our boy, Aether Ryens who hasn't made his appearance yet.
