Chapter 77 Enrollment 2 (1/2)
as Mars listened to the vice principal's teachings about formations and arrays he got more and more interested and eventually raised his hand to ask a question
”--- so by using magic beast cores of different elements, yes what is it Mars?”
”if it matters what kind of element the magic beast core has does that mean different elements are useful for special parts of a formation?”
the vice principals eyes lit up a little
”yes that is exactly right Mars for example, air element magic cores are better for gathering od whole earth element magic beast cores are better for reinforcements”
”I see... sorry for interrupting”
the vice principal gave a sigh before she smiled
”I don't mind... I like smart students or at least the ones that are awake”
”what?”
the vice principal didn't answer she just pointed behind Mars, when he turned around he saw that the rest of the students in the class had fallen asleep
”oh... I see”
Mars suddenly felt kind of awkward for the other 4 but when he saw the vice principals smile he knew this was the norm
”they normally sleep?”
”yeah... well they all have their circumstances, they are all tactical class mages after all”
Mars looked at the beastmen twins, they both looked no more than 10 years old and asked with doubt in his voice
”all of them?”
”yes even the twins, well they aren't here by choice it's more like we look after them”
”...I see”
”well this is all for today... follow me I will show you to the dorms”
”is it okay to let them sleep?”
”yeah its fine”
”...if you say so”
Mars followed after the vice principal and suddenly asked
”do you know the 3rd prince?”
”no not personally, why do you ask?”
”...no reason, just wondering what he's like”
”....well he's harmless... most of the time”
”what do you mean by that?”
the vice principal gave a weird smile
”you will see when you meet him”
”okay?”
Mars remained silent as he followed after the vice principal as both of them reached the dorm building which was 3 stories tall and gave mars the impression of a cheap apartment building
”we're here, your room is number 202 on the second floor”
the vice principal took a key out of her pocket and handed it to Mars
”thanks”
”good now that you know where the dorms are let's get the troublesome things out of the way, can you cover the tuition fee?”
”sure”
Mars took out a gold coin and handed it to the vice principal
”that should do it right?”
”...yes, now let's go get your mantel”
Mars once again followed after the vice principal this time back to the administration building where she exchanged some words with the person behind a counter and soon received a red mantel which she handed to Mars
”it's the rules that you need to wear the mantle at all times while you are on the academy grounds”
”okay”
Mars put the mantel on and was surprised by its weight and gave asked about it
”why is it so heavy?”
”that's because of some magic nullification formations inside the mantel, it helps with preventing injuries”
”neat”
Mars made some small jumps and got adjusted to the weight of the mantel before he asked the vice principal
”is there anything else?”
”my class starts at 10, don't be late”
after she said her piece the vice principal turned and left
'at 10... what to do now... let's find the others'
Mars walked out of the administration building and started to wander around, as he walked he noticed the other students was sending him strange looks but ignored it
'it's just because I look handsome right?'
after wondering about it for awhile he decided to ask a random female student
”hey you, mind if I ask you something?”
”m-m-me!?”
”yes?”
”e-excuse me, I-I have something I need to do!”
Mars looked in amazement as the student ran away
'...maybe I'm too handsome?'
”excuse me do you mind if I ask you a question?”
”...stay away from me”
”...”
Mars felt defeated and decided to go back to his dorm room, on the way back he noticed the other students looking at him weirdly while some of them whispered
”hey, that's a new one right?”
