Chapter 5 (1): First day of classes, part 1

The four of us, along with two more dorm rooms, both male, went over with Fran to the magic building, which was a large, single floor area split into three sections and reinforced with a lot of powerful barriers. We went to the closest of the three sections, and sat down where Fran told us to sit, I was sitting in the back right corner with Ver on my right and Elise on my left, Mae and Char in front of us.

”First. Introductions. Name, elements, classes, mana, race, hometown. Something else about you. No discrimination, no lies. See lies. If break rules, get smacked by Urushi. Urushi, come. Sit here” (Fran)

A large black wolf rose from Fran's shadow, then sat next to her like a large puppy.

”I said introductions. First you. Stand while doing. Then person to right. Repeat for row behind. Now” (Fran)

People introduced themselves one after the next, and I noticed that most of them would be in Fran's actual class. Also, the highest mana there was 3100, and the one with the most elements was Char. Eventually, it got to be Elise's turn.

”I'm Elise... I'm in the bow... and healing classes... I have just light and healing... and 2800 mana. I'm a high elf... I'm from... the demon lands... and... I have... a girlfriend... so... I'm not interested... in guys” (Elise)

”I'm Ryuu. I'm a orphaned half elf from the demon lands, and was taught to fight by some of the demon generals. I have every element, and I'm in the spear and axe classes as well” (Ryuu)

”That has to be a lie. Every element? Taught by some demon generals?” (someone whispering)

”Mana, something about you. You forgot” (Fran)

”I have a girlfriend, well, more than one, actually, and I have about 5000 mana” (Ryuu)

”Urushi” (Fran)

Urushi leaped at me, and I caught him and threw him back towards Fran.

”Urushi. Sit. Ryuu. Real mana. Not lie. Next time. Get shocked. Lightning magic” (Fran)

”Fine... I have well over 50000 mana. I'd rather not say just how much. I don't even know the exact amount, my mana value broke the measurement tool” (Ryuu)

”Nn. Better. Last one. Wyvern” (Fran)

”Her name is Verene, or Ver for short. She's a greater wyvern, and less than a week old. I met her when her parents attacked me and I killed them, and I found her egg as she was hatching, so she thinks I'm her mother or something. She's tame, bound by summoner's magic, so she won't attack you unless you attack her” (Ryuu)

”Mind if I ask something?” (Boy... Ryan, I think?)

”Nn. Ryan. Go ahead” (Fran)

”You carry more weapons than just a spear and axe. I see a staff on your back, and a dagger on your hip. Also, your mana is less than a hundred, from what I can tell. I would like to know why all of that is the case” (Ryan)

”The thing on my back is actually a spear, not a staff, and the dagger isn't my preferred weapon. They both limit the aura I release, alongside some other items. If you'd like, I could show you what it's like with fewer limiters, provided Fran is fine with it” (Ryuu)

”Nn. Go for it” (Fran)

”Show us what it's like with all of them removed, please” (Ryan)

”I won't go anywhere near that far. It could kill many of you” (Ryuu)

”Bullshit” (Ryan)

”Not lie, it seems” (Fran)

”Eh?” (Almost all of the boys)

Most of the boys moved away from me at that, and one ran out of the building, but Urushi brought him back.

”I'll show you what it's like at 5000 mana” (Ryuu)

I removed my dagger and spear, putting them into my storage, and most of the boys jumped back. Even Fran took a step away from me, despite her mana value of about 2200.

”My love... you could... and should... put your weapons... back on...” (Elise)

I did so, and most of the boys hesitantly moved back to their seats.

”Uh... did I hear that right? Did Elise call you 'my love'?” (Dyne, Ryan's roommate)

”Yeah. Got a problem with that?” (Ryuu)

”Uh... no... just... how do Charlotte and Mae feel about being in the same room as a couple in love?” (Dyne)

”Oh, those two aren't the only ones who share a room with their girlfriend” (Char)

”You mean... Mae and Charlotte... you're also dating each other?” (Ryan)

”Not quite” (Mae)

”Eh?” (Dyne)
