Class, Humiliation, Training

Akane helps Shion by taking out all the stuff that are in Shion's luggage like the clothes into the drawer, the soap, shampoo, skin care and toothbrush by the sink in the bathroom. Shion is sitting on the couch in the living room while Akane is setting everything up.

After Akane is finished, she approaches Shion and asks her a question. "Young Miss, do you want anything to drink or perhaps eat?" Akane asks if Shion wants anything to drink or eat.

"I would like a cup of coffee, please," Shion requests a cup of coffee to Akane.

"I will make the coffee right away, Young Miss," Akane says and she turns around and leaves to make the coffee in the kitchen. After quite some time, Akane finishes and walks to the living room and puts the cup of coffee on the coffee table. "Here is your coffee, Young Miss," Akane says as she sets the coffee on the table.

"Thank you, Akane," Shion thanked Akane for making her the coffee.

Akane stands by to watch over Shion while she drinks her coffee. The dorm telephone suddenly rings.

"Akane, pick it up," Shion asks Akane to pick up the phone call.

Akane goes to pick up the phone. "Hello, this is Young Miss Shion's personal maid, Akane Suou speaking. May I help you?" Akane says to the other side.

"Ah, Akane. Is Shion there? I have some stuff to talk to her," The other side of the call says that she needs to talk to Shion.

Akane covers the mic and looks at Shion to call her. "Young Miss Shion, someone wants to talk to you," Akane says that someone wants to talk to Shion on the phone.

Shion stands up and walks to the phone and takes it from Akane. "This is Umiho Shion speaking. May I help you with anything?" Shion says to the caller.

"It's the principal, Shion. I forgot to tell you about your classes. Since you're in the Hermes faction, you will receive your own special uniform. For classes, your homeroom teacher is Professor Zenki. He will be your homeroom teacher and he teaches for the Prime class. You will be assigned there. As for your seat, we set up a special seat for you. Your seat number is 7A. Remember that. I hope you enjoy your first day and make sure don't be late for class," Akane says and explains about Shion's class, her homeroom teacher and her assigned seat.

"I understand. Thank you for the heads up, headmaster. I will go to class now," Shion thanked Ayane and hung up the phone.

"Young Miss, I will prepare your uniform," Akane says as she leaves and goes to Shion's bedroom and prepares Shion's uniform. The uniform looks elegant and pretty. But in Shion's eyes, it's just not her style because she can't move too much in it.

Shion goes to her bedroom after Akane finishes preparing the uniform. "Thank you, Akane," Shion thanked Akane for helping her prepare for the first day of school.

Shion pits on the uniform and looks at herself in the mirror. She looks rather cute because she's a 5 year old kid. Shion gets ready for class. Akane on the other hand is helping make Shion's hair up. After some while, they're done and Shion is ready to attend class.

"Thank you for helping me out, Akane. I will go to class now. Take care of the dorm," Shion says to Akane and waves at her before leaving the dorm.

"Be safe, Young Miss Shion," Akane says to Shion to be safe out there.

Shion is walking through the hallways to get to her class. She looks at the map of the academy to find this Prime class she's assigned to. She looks over at the map. She remembers there is a second floor but there's no second floor in the map. Maybe she needs to do something? She makes her way to the stairs since she can't find the Prime class on the first floor. She walks up the stairs. When she arrives at the top,she looks at the map and the map suddenly changes to show the second floor layouts.

"How did that even work? Magic? Or is this map some sort of talisman that can change its layout to match the floor you're at? Whatever it is, I need to go find my class quickly. Let's see where it is," Shion says when she sees the map changing to match the second floor layouts. She searches on the map for the Prime class. When she sees it on the map, it's on the other side of the place she's currently at.

Shion walks to the class direction. The second floor is the same as the first floor. Many hallways and corners like a maze. Shion continues making her way to the Prime class. After a good 10 minutes, she arrives in front of the class entrance. For a 5 year old like her, she's tall and is able to open the door herself.

When Shion enters the class, Professor Zenki is surprised to see her and asks her some questions. "Who might you be? Do you have a student ID? You look young. How old are you? What businesses do you have in my class?" Professor Zenki asks Shion those different questions. All of these questions seem to be too confusing for Shion.

"Professor, I'm a new student. I was assigned to your class by the headmaster," Shion explains that she's a new student here.

"Oh, my apologies. So you're the new student, right? What's your name?" Professor Zenki asks her.

"My name is Umiho Shion. Age is 5," Shion says her name and age.

"Alright…. That's all…. Wait. What did you say your age again?" Professor Zenki says it's now finished and he asks Shion to repeat her words about her age

"Yeah. I'm 5 years old. You didn't misheard it," Shion says to the professor that he didn't misheard her and she's indeed 5 years old.

"You must be joking. You know, a 5 year old like you shouldn't be here, right? Are you lost or something?" Professor Zenki says this because he doesn't believe that Shion is actually serious.

"Professor Zenki, I'm serious. And I can prove it," Shion says with the same expressionless face.

"Enlighten me," Professor Zenki says.

"Since I'm a new student around here, I should have a map with me that's given by the headmaster, right?" Shion asks if having a map given by the headmaster is a solid proof for being a new student.

"Yeah, obviously. It's something the headmaster gave to people who might get lost while being in the academy. Why are you asking?" Professor Zenki confirms the guess and asks why Shion asked him that question.

Shion pulls out the map she had with her and shows it to Professor Zenki. He's surprised that Shion really is a student here and with the Prime class uniform on.

"So you really are a student? And you're assigned to this class? Prove that to me as well. Prove me that you're assigned to this class," Professor Zenki says that it's not enough and he asks Shion to prove it by saying her assigned seat number.

"Sure. I'll say it to you. My assigned seat is seat 7A and the headmaster already sets everything up for me on my table," Says Shion to professor Zenki.

Professor Zenki looks at Shion with surprised eyes when she says her assigned seat and who set it up for her. "Alright, I believe you now. Take your seat, Umiho," Professor Zenki understands that Shion is one of his students and asks her to take her seat.

Shion walks over to her seat at the back by the window and looks inside the table cabinet and sees textbooks in there. She takes out the textbook everyone is using right now which is magic history textbook.

"Alright everyone, turn to page 75. We're going to learn about how ice magic was created," Professor Zenki says and everyone opens the exact page and he starts teaching.

One hour later, everyone in class starts to pack their stuff up because the magic history class just ends. It's now lunch time. Shion sits at her table alone and some girls start to approach her.

A girl with pink hair approaches Shion first. "Hi! You're the new student, right? My name is Ushio Sumiko. Nice to meet you," Sumiko introduces herself to Shion.

"Nice to meet you too," Shion replies with an unchanged emotionless face.

"So mind if I ask which dorm faction you're in, Shion?" Sumiko asks if she can know what dorm faction Shion is in.

"I'm in the Hermes faction," Shion replies.

"Oh! That's the faction for nobles and strong students. Are you perhaps a noble?" Sumiko is surprised to hear that Shion is in the Hermes faction. Usually it's for the nobles and strong students.

"No, I'm not a noble. I'm just a commoner," Shion explains that she's not a noble but indeed a commoner.

"Oh…. That means you're strong then because they put you in the Hermes faction?" Sumiko is a bit surprised to hear that Shion is a commoner and not a noble. She asks if Shion is strong or not.

"I guess they put me in that faction because of that. I didn't blame them though," Shion replies with a guess. Indeed she got put in the Hermes faction because she's a strong individual.

Suddenly, a boy with blue hair comes up to Shion and starts to talk to her in a rude manner. "What's a little girl like you doing here? Are you lost? Where is your mommy?" The boy says with a mocking tone.

"Quit it, Jiro. Don't talk to her that way," Sumiko says to Jiro to defend Shion.

"What are you going to do about it? Call the teacher? I know you wouldn't dare to, Sumiko," Jiro says to Sumiko that she can't do anything about it and Sumiko just stays silent and looks on the ground. "Back to the point. What's your name again little girl?" Jiro looks at Shion and says rude things to her again.

"It's Umiho Shion. And don't call me 'little girl'. I don't like it," Shion replies about all those rude questions. Shion says she didn't like to be called a little girl.

"I mean, I'm stating the truth. I'm not wrong by a single bit. You're indeed a little girl, aren't you?" Jiro says with a smirk on his face. More of this rude talk is making Sumiko really angry with Jiro. When Sumiko looks at Shion, she sees Shion's emotionless face. It's clear that Shion doesn't care about Jiro's rudeness at all.

"What is it, little girl? Are you scared to talk? Yeah, you should be. I'm the strongest in the school," Jiro says, claiming to be the strongest in the school. In truth, he's not because Shion is stronger than him because The One Who Creates Everything gave her the current power she has.

"I don't really care about how strong you are. Don't be arrogant. There could be anyone stronger than you in this school. Even in this class," Shion says, claiming she believes that there are stronger people than Jiro in the school. Even in this class there is someone who's stronger than Jiro.

"What-. How dare you say that… Do you know who I am?!" Jiro says with an angry tone.

"I don't and I don't care who you are at all. If you please mind your own business please," Shion says that she doesn't care about who Jiro is and she wants him to leave her alone.

"You….!" Jiro couldn't hold it and started to walk up to Shion stomping his feet on the floor angrily.

"Don't come any closer, Jiro. I will humiliate you if I do beat you in a raw strength duel. Don't make me do it," Shion says with an emotionless face and confident voice.

"You really thought you could beat me?! Over my dead body!" Jiro says angrily that he doesn't believe that Shion can beat him.

Shion, who is already getting fed up, points her finger at Jiro and uses gravity Magic to hold him down on the ground. "I told you. I can beat you in a fight. Doesn't matter physically or even magical. I can beat you," Shion says without even looking at Jiro on the ground getting pinned by the gravity Magic.

Everyone in the class looks shocked that Shion is able to use gravity Magic easily without even chanting any chant to cast a spell. Sumiko is watching everything in front of her eyes. Sumiko looks at Shion and asks. "How did you even do that, Shion?! You're amazing for a 5 year old. I'm surprised you can do that," Sumiko says, surprised that what Shion does is possible considering her age.

"I just know how to do it. It's no big deal," Shion just shrugs it off by saying she just can do that feat.

"You just…know how to do it?" Sumiko asks with a confused face.

"Yeah," Shion replies with a simple and straight to the point yes.

"That's really amazing. This is a first. I've never seen or heard about this before. You're really amazing, Shion. I'm impressed by your sheer power and control over your magic," Sumiko says with an impressed voice. She's impressed by what Shion is capable of.

"Are you going to let me go? I'm down here for a long time now!" Jiro says begging to be released from the gravity Magic.

Shion hears Jiro's begging and cancels the magic to let Jiro go from the gravitational pull. "Happy now? Leave me alone from now on," Shion says that she doesn't want Jiro to be messing around with her again.

"Tch! Fine. I won't pick on you anymore," Jiro says as he turns around and leaves.

"I didn't expect Jiro would be begging to be released by someone who's younger than him. I'm surprised," Sumiko says as she watches Jiro walking away. It surprised her how Shion made Jiro give up.

The bell rings and lunchtime is over. Everyone in the class starts to leave. Shion is a bit confused as to why is everyone leaving. "Where are they going?" Shion asks Sumiko where the rest of the students are going.

"Oh. It's a training class. Let's go, Shion," Sumiko stands up and leaves with the rest too. Shion follows behind her.

Some walks later, they arrive in the woman's changing room. Shion and Sumiko change into their gym clothes. After they're done, they get out of the changing room and go to the training ground to train. Professor Zenki is the teacher for this session too.

"Alright everyone. Today's training is physical. We will be going over everyone's capabilities with a sword. Pair up to make a duo," Professor Zenki explains that everyone will be tested with swordsmanship training.

Sumiko decides to go up to Shion and pair up with her. "Shion! Let's pair up. Do you want to?" Sumiko asks if Shion wants to pair up with her.

"Sure," Shion replies instantly.

Shion and Sumiko take a wooden sword and get into stance to train. Professor Zenki is on the side watching over everyone training to make sure no one gets hurt.

Shion and Sumiko already got in stance to train. "Are you ready, Shion? I won't be going hard on you," Sumiko asks Shion if she's ready for the training or not. She continues by saying she won't go hard on Shion.

"You better be going harder than normal. I'm not going to hold back either, Sumiko," Shion replies by telling Sumiko to go harder than usual. Shion continues by saying that she won't be holding back.

"Alright if you say so, Shion," Sumiko replies.

They start training. Sumiko charges forwards first to attack Shion. When Sumiko swings her sword and aims for Shion's side, Shion deflects it like it's nothing. Shion keeps blocking and deflecting every attack that comes in her way while waiting for a good opening to attack. Several clashes later, Sumiko is a bit tired. Shion sees this as an opportunity to strike back by doing a side slash to the right leg to make Sumiko fall down and ends the training by pointing the tip of the wooden sword to Sumiko's neck.

"Woah…. That's…. Amazing! That's really amazing, Shion! Where did you learn how to use a sword?!" Sumiko praised Shion for using the sword with efficiency like she's trained.

"I just trained very hard. I know all the basics," Shion explains that she just trained hard to become this good in swordsmanship to Sumiko.

"So you just trained very hard and reached this level? Amazing!" Sumiko says as she understands how Shion became this strong and talented in swordsmanship.

Professor Zenki who is watching from afar seems to be distracting himself to Shion's amazing shows of swordsmanship. "Amazing indeed is that child. She knows how to hold, use and swing the correct way. Amazing…. What monster did you bring in your own school, headmaster Ayane?" Professor Zenki says under his breath wondering what kind of monster did the headmaster Ayane bring in this time which is Shion.

One hour later, class ends and everyone heads out from the training ground and back to the changing room to change clothes. The next class is about magic chemistry. Everyone goes back to class and gets their textbooks. When everyone is ready with their textbooks, they leave and head straight to the chemistry lab. Soon after, Shion and Sumiko arrive in the magic chemistry class. Shion and Sumiko take a seat at the back near the window. The professor for this session is Professor Tengu. He will be teaching the class about magic chemistry for the rest of the semester.
