*POV of an irrelevant side character*
‘Uwah, I actually got accepted. To think that Omnia Academy would accept someone like me with a C-rank power, how miraculous’
I thought as I walked towards the admission desk in front of a grand arch made out of an intricately balanced proportions of metal and wood with engravings here and there. Making my way across the immaculately paved road made of equally cut marble stones polished to the point where it actually reflects the walker. I see a few lines of about a dozen people as I walk towards them I see signs saying “End of Line HERE!”. As I reach one of the signs I see a girl wearing a blue vest along with a similarly blue tie on top of a white polo barong, she’s also wearing a black slacks, her looks are 8/10 a beauty exuding a calm aura she’s a bit tall for a girl about 168 cm (5’6). Walking towards her she sees me and gives a curt nod before stepping aside and waiting for me to stand in line before getting behind me resuming her duty of raising the sign board. Waiting for a few minutes as the line progresses with a few more additions but no more than half a dozen, I finally got in front and see another girl wearing the same uniform as the former with the exception being hers is green rather than blue and rather than a slack she’s wearing a black skirt that reaches to just below her knees, she’s also an 8/10 but rather than composed I’d say she give of a cheerful vibe.
Me - ‘A symbol of seniority? Can’t be with how long people life span is after the Cadite.’ I thought.
Girl – “Hello! Welcome to Omnia Academy! I’m Tasha Dela Vega I’m going to assist you with the admission procedure may I have your name please?” she said.
Me – “My name is Josh Merva” I said.
Tasha – “Give me a moment please” she said as she fiddled around with the holographic screen in front of her.
Tasha – “AHA here we go then.” She said as she handed me a 4x4 and 1/8-inch-thick transparent glass.
Tasha – “Well then, that will serve as your identification as well as map, point bank, alarm if you want, mission board, and also allows you to accept and issue a duel request.” She finishes with a smile.
Tasha – “Any questions?”
Me - “Yes actually, how does the point and duel system work?” I ask since I wasn’t really listening earlier.
Tasha – “Ok! Well the point system allows people with bellow average household finances to earn living expenses since you can use it to buy thing inside the school or exchange it for money in the administration building, there are a multitude of ways to earn points such as accepting mission from the mission board, but that option won’t be available till you finish the initiation ceremony which last for about 1-4 years depending on certain factors. As for the duel system, there are 3 main rules for a person to initiate a duel, first both parties must agree to the it, second the duel must be overseen by an enforcer, the ones wearing blue or in some cases albeit VERY VERY rarely by a ‘NUMERAL’, and third if both parties agree to it they can wager bets using points.” She said emphasizing the word very and numeral.
Me - “What, or better yet Who are these ‘Numerals’?” I ask.
Tasha – “Well simply put the ‘Numerals’ are the 10 strongest people inside the academy… Oh!!! And by the way a lot of newcomers always get this wrong but they aren’t numbered according to power but rather based on their seniority.”
Me – “Why? I mean age isn’t really that much of a problem now a day since the estimated lifespan of people are at least 5000 years right?”
Tasha – “True but.” She gives me a very cheeky expression “They’re all… X-RANKS!!!” she declared after pausing to add to the suspense.
ME – “WHAT?!!! X-RANKS?!!! MOREOVER, ALL OF THEM ARE AT THIS SCHOOL?!!!” I said with my eyes nearly falling form their sockets along with a slacked jaw nearly hitting the ground, also due to how loud I was a lot of people are directing their gaze to me with a similar expression.
Tasha – “AHAHAHAHA!!! Oh boy your reactions are precious not only you but everyone else too!” she said holding her stomach with both her hands “but yes that’s right all X-ranks are in this school, well to be exact they’re the founders as well as teachers in the school you know” she said dropping another bomb.
Me - “WHAT?!!! YOU MEAN THIS SCHOOL WAS BUILT BY THEM?!!! No wonder this school produces a lot of very powerful people; it was because they were being taught by X-ranks.” I mulled over this shocking discovery, as I survey the area I notice that people are actually crowding towards the admission desks with disbelieving faces as well as occasional murmurs.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
??? – “So your saying that those people built this academy? Also they’re teachers that means that we will be taught by them right? when??” asked a guy from who know where.
Tasha – “Yea they did, and they’re the one that’ll teach you all the basics, meaning that your first teachers will be them.”
Me – ‘Wow to not only meet them but also to be taught by them how dreamlike’
??? – “Is it true? The rumors” another unknown person asks.
Tasha – “Which one?” she asks with a clearly confused face.
??? – “The one about them being immortal, the pinnacle of beauty, wisdom, and strength.”
Tasha – “Well the first one is true since the oldest is actually 22698 years old, the second also true since there are 10 of them you can find quite a few selections for them since there are 5 males and 5 females each one having fierce, kind, cunning, cute, and refreshing beauties, as for the third that may or may not be due to the fact that the youngest of the is at least 18000 years old, the last one is also true since they can destroy the entire local galaxy cluster with ease.” She said.
Me – “Wow” I said in dumb struck awe along with everyone else.
??? – “My my, this is certainly not what we had in mind, this takes some of the fun out of the initiation ceremony.” Said a very alluring voice that can bewitch a man with just listening to it, making me instinctively turn towards it source, what I see makes my heart skip a few dozen beats. A tall woman about 182 cm (6 feet) tall with a hair of pitch black hair and light brown eyes, well-endowed bust of about D-cup coupled with a slim waist and wide hips she’s got a perfect hour glass figure, wearing the same uniform as Tasha with the difference being her vest is red with a roman numeral II at the right side of the vest giving a mature vibe that has a slight hint of mischievousness to it she gives the impression of a cunning empress, , she’s also walking with such grace further emphasizing the empress like feel.
??? – “AW, and I really wanted to watch their reactions to our introduction, I guess we need to send a memo towards all new administrators not to spoil our fun.” Said quite a high pitch yet still distinguishably male voice, turning to him I see him come out behind the lady instantly making me question my sexuality, he’s short for a guy about 163 cm (5’4) with delicate features, red hair like a fresh rose, heterochromatic eyes the left being a shining amber and the right just like his hair, wearing a similar uniform as the former sign carrying girl just the vest being like his hair with the roman numeral III at the right side of it complementing his looks, overall he looks like a delicate and adorable little brother that makes everyone want cuddle and pet him.
??? – “Tsk, guess no beat downs this year then.” Said an irritated baritone voice capable of alluring any female, ah I think it already did with how enamored this on next to me is, looking to the source I see a person with shining silver hair mean looking almond shaped violet eyes, with sharp features further emphasizing the meanness of his eyes, broad shoulders, tall stature of about 188 cm (6’2) wearing the same clothes as the previous one with his number being I, he gives a very intimidating vibe, but people can’t help but be drawn towards him because of his looks, like how people admire tigers from a distance, wanting to be close yet afraid to be.
??? – “That certainly is a bit down heartening isn’t it.” Said an equally alluring yet more cheerful baritone voice, turning toward him I see a guy with blond hair and clear blue eyes, with features a stark contrast to the previous one which is leaning towards gentle, broad shoulders and tall stature just like the lady as well as clothes like the other 2 guys with his number being VIII, he give of the feeling of a capable, caring, and mischievous older brother, also is it just me or do I feel like he actually like how we look like right now watching the four of them with dumbstruck awe?
Author notes:
Sorry for the late update, got caught up with the practice since we start at 5 pm and end at 9 also because I was studying for midterm (just 3 more to go), due to the weather these past few days causing successive cancellation of classes further delaying the exams (as well a the performance date) I had some free time to spare so I continued this which was started but sadly couldn't finish (well it's finished now anyway).
Well ranting aside enjoy (I hope) the first part of the first chapter.
Don't know when I'll be able to post the next one but presumably the wait isn't as long as this one cuz I won't be as busy as the past weeks.
