4 Oddball, Class
Magia Realm of MyrWrux...
Magia realm is divided into two sections: the Gaia Continent and the Astral Land. The majority of Gaia Continent residents are unaware of Astral land's existence, but this is not true for Astral land residents.
One cannot simply enter the Astral land by traveling on the ground because a dimensional gap separates them.
However, one thing that applies to both sides of this coin, known as Magia Realm, is that it's a world of magic where powerful magicians rule the roost!
Gaia Continent, Country Lopax...
The Lopax country has four major Academies that students from all over the country want to attend.
Since only one thousand students are accepted each year, the competition is very hard.
The students who are not accepted into those four national academies learn magic in private Magic Dojos. Naturally, they fall short of those four Academies in terms of resources, areas, and facilities.
...
The year S.M 8008...
At this moment, two young men in their seventeens were getting ready for the opening ceremony inside one of the many dorms at this fourth national magic academy.
"Zev! If you don't hurry, you'll miss the opening ceremony."
"Hehe, I am more excited about it than you, Dan. There's no way I will miss it," Zevien said as he adjusted his uniform, 'the world really rewound in time, I am back to my 17-year-old self.'
'Vernisia, I can't wait to meet you!'
"Let's go," Zevien said to Dan with a beaming smile.
…
Zevien and Dan arrived at the hall shortly after and went inside. Every second, a new group of students entered the hall.
The current student council president arrived five minutes after everyone else. The lovely young lady took the stage and brushed her long sunset-colored hair before delivering a speech.
Zevien was not paying attention to the ceremony and was looking around the hall from his seat, ostensibly looking for someone.
"Haha, Zevien. Who are you looking for with such a face?" Dan said with a small laugh as he saw Zevien looking around.
Zevien appeared to be both happy and anxious, with longing in his eyes for someone he cared about.
'Don't tell me she's not at this school? No way, that god-like being told me not to speak to her for ten days after he sent me back, so she's definitely in this school,' Zevien reasoned as he searched the hall for the person he cared about most.
"Next up is a speech by the freshman representative, Vernisia Fate," the student council president said with a gentle smile as she returned to the stage.
Zevien was taken aback when he heard the name and turned to face a lovely young lady with long silver-blue hair.
His stunned expression was replaced by a face filled with unbridled happiness and tears in his eyes.
Dan was taken aback, but he had no idea that this new friend of his...
Had quite a journey already.
"Vernisia...you are alive," Zevien spoke, his voice filled with relief as tears streamed down his cheeks with a big smile on his face.
Zevien was eager to meet Vernisia, but he remained patient, 'I will meet her in the class...hopefully.'
He hoped their desks in the class were the same as in his previous life, right next to each other.
Soon, her speech was over as she left the stage, and after one more speech by the vice-president, the ceremony was over as everyone left the hall.
...
"Class A-3, here it is," Dan said with a grin as he and Zevien stopped in front of their class door.
Both of them entered inside and tapped on their Digi-watch.
Digi-watch was something that every student got from the Academy after they got accepted by the Academy.
Tapping the Digi-watch produced a small hologram.
[Zevien]
-Class: A-3
-Desk No. 17
-Rank: ~
-Credits: 10
'My desk number is the same,' Zevien thought as his hopes got high, 'if my desk number is the same, then Vernisia's desk number should be the same.'
In the previous life, Zevien's desk number was 17, and Vernisia's desk number was 16.
"Ayo, my number is 3," Dan spoke wryly and sighed, "you are in the last row while I am in the first row, sadge."
The classroom had twenty desks. Five desks in each row, so a total of four rows.
Suddenly, a small commotion occurred as the twelve students in the class saw Vernisia entering the class.
"Woah, it looks like the freshman representative is in our class."
"Hehe, that indeed raised our morale."
"She is really beautiful," a girl with rectangle glasses and black hair spoke with a smile.
The boy behind her desk looked at her and grinned, "you not worse than her...Sophia, right?"
Sophia was startled as her cheeks turned a bit red, and she put her hair behind her ears involuntarily in nervousness and turned her head to the front.
Dan whistled and spoke with a laugh, "that guy is already trying to score a goal."
However, Zevien was looking at Vernisia and elbowed Dan, "Hey, bro. Go to your desk."
"Huh, why?" Dan was confused, but...
"Excuse me," Vernisia said with a smile.
Dan turned his head to the voice and saw Vernisia standing beside the desk.
"Please," Dan gestured with his hand as he stood up and went to the right side of Zevien before whispering in a low voice, "bro, you got this. Hehehe."
Dan knew that his friend apparently liked Vernisia from the way he looked at her in the ceremony hall.
"Hi, I am Vernisia," Vernisia turned to Zevian and said with a smile, "Nice to meet you."
Zevien had already composed himself as he nodded and smiled, "I am Ze-"
'Wait...!' Zevien suddenly stopped speaking as he remembered the words of that mysterious being, 'he said that I must not talk to her for ten days...damn! Why?'
"Ze?" Vernisia was surprised, "is your name Ze?"
Zevien looked at her and shook his head three times before wryly smiling and making a zip motion with his hand on his mouth.
He tapped on his Digi-watch and showed her the hologram.
"Zevien," Vernisia muttered before she chuckled with a smile, "but why are you not speaking?"
Zevien's face showed a helpless smile as he shook his head and once again did a zip motion on his mouth with his hand before opening the laptop that was connected to the desk and opening a doc file before writing in it.
'Hmmm, this could be a good way to make her think that I am somewhat an oddball, which might increase her curiosity about me,' Zevien thought as he wrote something on the document and showed it to Vernisia.
[Sorry, but I won't be able to talk to you for ten days. I can't tell you the reason for it...yet]
"Eh...,' Vernisia raised her eyebrows before she spoke, "but you can speak, right?"
Zevien nodded.
"So you can speak with others but will not speak to me?" Vernisia asked with doubt.
Zevien nodded again with a sad smile.
"Hahaha," Vernisia chuckled as she saw Zevien's face that had turned sad and like a puppy, "I take it as you want to speak to me but can't speak?"
Zevien hurriedly nodded with a helpless expression.
"Sounds fishy, haha."
*clank...clank..*
A slim middle-aged man entered the classroom at this time, holding a walking stick and a hat on his head. He was dressed up in a coat and formal pant-shirt.
"Take your desks, everyone," the man said as he stood behind the teacher's standing desk and spoke with a smile, "I am your homeroom teacher, Touma Ruther. If you have any queries or questions, look for me in the staff zone."
He then tapped on his Digi-bang and pressed something in the hologram before saying, "I have sent my number to your ID account."
Everyone's Digi-watch blinked slightly in a tiny slot. The blink was red, which meant that a mail had arrived.
Zevien and others opened the mail and saw the simple content in it.
Homeroom Teacher: Touma Ruther
Contact number: +Z5,377AX8890
"Everyone should be excited to finally awaken your magic Labyrinth, right?" Touma said with a smile.
"Yeah!"
"Hehe, we really can't wait for it, Touma-sir. Let's get going already," Dan said with a grin.
"Alright then, follow me," Touma said with a faint smile, "we will go to the training ground and awaken your magic-type labyrinth there. After that, we can also assess your overall ability."
The Academy was very large, with three big dome-like buildings in a triangle formation, and all three dome buildings were connected via several glass-tube paths.
Aside from that, there were nine grounds in the gaps between these three dome buildings and one large ground in the middle of these three dome buildings.
The Academy was situated on the northwest side of Starline City. Behind the Academy was a large military camp with barracks because the area on the Northwest side outside of the city was a forest.
The homeroom teacher, Touma Ruther, and the twenty students arrived at ground no.9 of the Academy.
