Niken"s heart pounded as she entered the cla.s.s she was about to take. She began to breathe freely as soon as she sat on the designated desk.Niken was indeed very nervous about strangers. However, she would spend a year with all of them, so Niken had to force herself to get used to it.
She began to look around. She saw some were studying, some were listening to music, some were gossiping, and someone was even sleeping?
Niken"s gaze was fixed on the sleeping figure on the table. His desk in the corner and his face was facing the wall. He had the same black hair as her so she kinda got curious about him.
After all, most hairs in the cla.s.sroom were rather brown-reddish or blonde.
"Don"t bother about him." Niken turned around in surprise when she heard a voice beside her.
"Hi, are you the new kid? My name is Karyn, the wind elementalist. You?"
"Ni... Niken... My name is Niken. I"m a water elementalist. Nice to meet you."
"Niken? What a unique name for a water elementalist." murmured Karyn.
"?? Did you say something?"
"No. Nice to meet you too." They both shook hands with each other smiling. "So is this your first day?"
"Yeah, this is my first day."
"Cool! Do you know how the system works here?"
"No. Do you mind to explain some to me, please?"
Karyn began to talk about various kinds of the academy system. Each of the Sun and Moon buildings had six different levels. Level A to D plus level S and SS.Before entering this school, each prospective apprentice will be tested for their energy and knowledge mastery.
Niken remembered the entrance exam she took in. As expected, she entered a D-cla.s.s as she was weak as an elementalist.
On the contrary, her twin brother got in with a high score and entered an cla.s.s. She was sure her brother would try to upgrade his skill and enter the S-cla.s.s.
The S-cla.s.s was full of students who had mastered his strength of elemental energy perfectly. They could accept any mission given.
For example, a mission as a bodyguard, or catching wanted criminals or driving away bandits in someplace. The mission itself was dangerous.
As for the SS-cla.s.s, no one knew what kind of mission for them. But some rumors say the SS-cla.s.s had only four members.
The four of them were the most powerful elementalist. Which means they were the legendary Elementalist knights. Until now no one knew who was the SS members.
"Wow, I feel like I"ve been studying in this school for a long time."
Karyn laughed at that. "Sorry, I spoke too much. Once I speak, nothing can stop me. I hope you don"t mind. "
"No worries." Niken"s answer was relieved, apparently, her new friend wasn"t as frightened as she thought.
Maybe she could hold on one year. Who knows she will grow fond of this place very soon.
Meanwhile in the sun cla.s.s...
Richard who entered the cla.s.s was immediately told to practice attacking several targets that had been provided. Basically, the instructor wanted him to show off his skill.
Well, since Richard liked to practice and wanted to get stronger, he didn"t mind. He observed the flying target.
At first Richard found it was difficult as he used to practice on unmoved target. This time he had to hit the moving target and not the usual one. The flying target!
The target was some small black ball that was activated by metallic elemental energy. They were flying around which making Richard hard to aim his fireb.a.l.l.s.
He waited patiently to observe their movement pattern. A few moments later, he fired his fireb.a.l.l.s accurately and hit all his targets.
