185 Again (1/2)

Wallace woke up early as he asked Avalon to be his alarm clock. It was the first day of school and he doesn't want to be late.

'Should I use Void Phase?' Wallace thought after fixing himself.

He already planned to purchase a car from a dealer but it would still be on the coming weekend. The only other problem was his license. He was 16 and still minor. He must be at least 17 years old before taking the license exam.

He looked at his watch and since it was still early. He decided to ride on the bus.

It didn't take long before he arrived in front of the academy's gate. He can see that there's a lot of new students coming in.

As a third-year student, the border of the uniform's logo on his left chest was different.

Their academy logo, a lion with an open wings, has a crimson color at it's circular border unlike the second year's pale blue. For the first years, it was green color. There has been some changes but it was probably due to merging with the other school. Wallace had also read that due the addition of new curriculum, the division of students, Sun or Moon Class were also abolished. Anyway, it was only a way to differentiate Combat Path Magicians to Engineer's Path. Now that there's four courses available, the headmaster removed this method of differentiating instead of adding more method of division. Percival wanted a more united student as it seems.

Most of the students at Materia Medica and Idol Training came from the closed down school so he wanted to make sure that everyone can easily adapt in the environment.

As Wallace was about to enter the gate, he heard many students exclaiming at the back. He looked behind and noticed a crowd of students peeking at a certain direction. He didn't have to ask what's happening as he heard them talking.

”Isn't that Miya's manager? What was she doing here?”

”She's Miss Diana Humeray, right? Ahh... She's a mature beauty. A perfect pair with another beauty.”

Many had recognized Diana who was in front of a parked van.

”Maybe... Miya will perform at the ceremony?”

”What are you saying? Are you not watching news?”

”I heard that she'll be attending her last year in training here.”

”Mhm... Right, she's on her 5th year as an idol trainee.”

”Urgh... But I can't see her...”

”She's in the van. There's no vehicle allowed to enter the academy, right?”

Soon, they saw Diana opening the sliding door of the van as Miya step out.

The student's exclamations had only gotten stronger and there was even a sign from some students that can't hold their urges to approach Miya. It may cause some trouble if there will be more students who will follow.

'Urgh... So this can really happen, huh.' As Wallace was about to ignore the situation and head to the academy but everyone had suddenly managed to keep calm and not be overly excited. They still kept their smiles and eyes of admiration towards Miya, but they look a little more composed than a few moments ago.

'This... Isn't magic affecting minds should be prohibited?' Wallace had suddenly thought but after a moment, he immediately realized that it could be different since they practice a different art.

He glanced towards the culprit and noticed the great difference when he had met her at the town. During that time, the lady wore a make up that makes her a bit more mature. But this time, she even cut her hair short and dyed her hair black. She looks more innocent and approachable this way.

Wallace then recalled the news he read before and he was sure that Miya still has a longer hair that time. It seems that she wanted to change her image while she was still attending school.

After realizing that he was kept here for more than a minute, he quickly ignored the people behind him and walked to his classroom. Information about his classmates, instructor, and others were already given to them online.

Their classroom was on 2nd floor of the left-wing building. He immediately found it and met with his friends.

'Sigh~' He couldn't help but notice the missing members of their group. Tracy was no longer here. She was together with Ross Schien attending at Skywalker Academy instead. Kazimir had also returned to his country.

”Yo~ Wallace!” Gilbert greeted him and gestured to come over next to his seat. Wallace went over and returned his greetings.

”How about Ericka?”

”She won't be present for this first day. I heard that she got stuck on her vacation and will only return home this evening.”

”Mhmm...”
