I don't mind the cat being near but with its eyes constantly staring at me even during the start of classes it just creeps me out when I look at the other students their familiars were way bigger than mine like the girl beside me has a bull dog for a familiar..she was alright I guess pretty face but her attitude does matches the dogs so no questions here, and the boy beside me had a viper now why did I get myself a kitten I have no idea.
"Mister Anderson please listen when I am discussing this lesson might save your life one day when put in combat" the teacher said training her eyes towards me like a hawk like her freaking familiar, why am I the only one with this kind of pet around.
I nodded my head went back to my doodles when the teacher finally ignored me. The kitten purred at my feet I looked down and saw it nibbling on my slacks I sighed and picked him up...I named the kitten Jack.....I guess does fit the kitten.
"Listen up class next week April 17 we are going to be visiting the college division where the strongest of graduates are required to attend after this institution, I want you all to bring snacks and a pen and paper you are to take notes during out little trip and we will spend one night there no need to pack sleeping bags I doubt you'd need it there" the teacher Mrs. May gave a scary smirk to all of us I sunk back in my chair when she gave me a scary look in particular Julius who was two sits behind me whistled a tune to get my attention I whistled back a little to tell him I was alright.
After the explanation we learned that in every school activities our Familiars were allowed to accompany us except in written exams. I sighed yet again and walked down the hall for out next class gym seriously gym in the morning?
"no need to fret about it dude, there are different gym classes in this school" Julius said from behind me making me and the cat jump so high making some of the students to laugh at us, I glared at Julius who only returned an innocent smile.
"What do you mean there are two classes for Gym?"
"Well the on we're heading to is to practice out magic and incantations the other is those normal Physical classes to train our bodies" I made an "o" shape, that's why there were two different uniforms. Julius had to drag my body to the gym since I fainted when I learned that the second gym was located way inside the forest and it was way to far when we finally got to the gym everyone was already changing for today's class, a man dressed like an alchemist was standing in the middle with a sparrow on his shoulder it chirped happily when some of the girls fed it seeds.
"Is that supposed to be our teacher?" I'm not being a racist or anything but so far all the teachers I've seen where wearing the school's prescribed uniforms and this dude was well....you get the point.
"Listen up you maggots" the alchemist yelled catching some of our attention which kind of pissed him off he snapped his fingers and the wind picks up like a tornado sending us all in the air hanging, some of the girls screamed and the guys let out a very very manly scream indeed. I looked at some of the students who were just on the ground not even budging and the teacher gave a sly smile.
"Carolina come here will you dear?" the teacher said gesturing for a girl who has been standing within the forest and was just watching, she came forward with a sword in hand and a tiger beside her must be her familiar. "Kids this is my daughter Carolina"
"Dad just get to the point why you excused me from my class" if I remembered correctly she was one of those students who accelerated to second year instead of going through the freshmen year, she had her bluish hair in a pony tail and she was wearing combat boots, a navy vest with the school's gym shirt inside, she wore a pink (of all the colors) denim skirt with the sheath of the sword on her left...guess she must be right handed?
"yes yes where was I?" he thought "Right today I will have my daughter train with you to test whether you maggots can actually past my class, not to worry since this will be a trial for all of you but the second match will determine where I would place you when its time for the all time groupings meaning even if you are not of the same class or year if you have the same group number then you guys are a group no questions asked" the students began mumbling among themselves and some even began to pale because they did not want to end up at the very worst group. If their panicking like that what more could I do?
Jack nuzzles my leg calming me a little I ruffle his fury hair and pick him up placing him on my shoulder earning a purr form him. "Instead of individual examination we will have all of you attack at once towards Carolina with the intent to kill if you can do that then you might have a chance to survive, you have one minute to choose your weapon" he snaps his fingers and three cabinets with every kind of weapon you could think of were stashed in, I walked up close and examined the area for knives then swords, shields, guns then those heavy axes you see in movies with double blades.
Some of the other students chose those with quality and the ones that were lighter, I wanted something that would keep me balance during the fight, Jack meows and walks back towards the swords and poked a good looking one, it was black with a silver hilt and a very reliable handle, it was equipped with a sheath unlike the other swords and when I held it it felt like all the energy of the world came to me, the sensation was amazing like I was floating Jack mews happily and climbs on my shoulder means he likes this one.

"30 seconds maggots if your not here then you fail my class!" I ran back to the center with the other kids literally dragging their chosen weapon to the center, Carolina shakes her head and mutters something like this was too easy to be a battle, I grunted and prepared my temporary sword, Sir Dad went to the side and held a bronze bell, he rang it and everyone rush to the middle where his daughter was yawning and the tiger licking its paw she is openly showing how weak we were....some senior she is if I had my way I would skin her alive and feed her to the dogs.
I did moved through the other students just going with the flow since I can't fight with all of them were crowding in way to fast, Jack fell from my shoulder and we got separated.
Out of 34 students 6 remained in the field, a boy around my age with a bronze knife in both his hands was standing beside me huffing and sweat fell down his cheek, Carolina chuckles and disappeared and appeared behind him slicing him from behind, hes scream was so irritating I covered my ears earning a disapproving shake from the girl behind me.
"Your out Dan" she kicked him out of the center of the training ground leaving us 5, she licked her lips and dashed towards us I prepared my sword and swing where I predicted she would appear only to hit the girl from before with the hilt of my sword and giving a boy in front of my a hair cut, I gave him a sorry punch making him grunt and step away from me same with the girl.
Carolina was still dashing around something appearing in her hands and traveling towards her sword, it was lightning...that explains why she is so fast...but what can stop her? The girl from before dissolves into water she left her shield behind and made the ground wet with her powers when I think about it I then realize that she was water and then our enemy was lightning. I look at the wet cement looking for her, she was in the middle where it had more water like a puddle with Carolina still running around with her speed.
"Get out of that puddle now!" I yelled at her, she looks up to me confused and I made a run for it towards her "Get out shes blessed with lightning ability Raitoningu!" realization hit her and she tried to get out of the puddle I was 10 feet away from her and Carolina was already dashing towards her with her sword she jumped and stabbed her sword on Jenny's puddle electrocuting her, I stepped back from them since she was already writhing and shaking from the shock, I dropped my sword and felt something in the pit of mu stomach, I held up my arms and the water began turning to ice but it was too slow, then I felt Jack on my shoulder then he clawed me in the neck sinking his fangs afterwards, instead of pain I felt a lot of energy coming inside me the ice began spreading so fast even the air began to turn humid and cold.
Some of the other students began feeling cold and shivered falling to the ground only the teacher's blow torch (I don't know where he got it) was keeping them warm, Carolina was shock that Jenny stopped shaking and was huffing from the coldness she darted her eyes around until it landed on me since I was the only one who was not shivering I gulped and backed away a bit Jack's fangs still in my neck.
"Well now we've got ourselves an ice magic user" she steps closer to me with a wicked smile on her face electricity running down her entire body, I stayed where I was standing to show that I was not scared even though I was already scared like a cat in the inside. Jack nudges me to move but I couldn't I was frozen in place as the girl came closer towards me, then Jack turned into a huge wolf pushing me down to my knees my entire body going numb for some reason, then I saw a leash on Jack connecting to my neck he was using my power all I could do was watch with a blank expression as Jack pounced on Carolina her tiger about to claw Jack from behind but the remaining kid inside the circle kept him distracted with his pet alligator.....din't they have a show for that?
The more Jack slashed the more my body became cold but it did not bother me I felt like I was rejuvenating after a good 5 minutes of slashing from Jack and dodging from Carolina she finally snapped.
"Enough of this lets end this now!" she sent an electric shock towards the guy stopping her tiger from behind I stood up and blocked the assault with the sword it shined as it battle with my ice, I did a little modification with the sword without me knowing it wow I am so awesome.
"This is impossible I am from A rank I can't be beaten by a rookie!" she was too full of herself I told my self and dash towards her with lightning still radiating from her body and plus with that temper...yeah I know crazy right? I swing my sword simultaneously from left to right and from top to bottom she did not have time to dodge the last one and fell to the floor heaving a sigh.
I pointed my sword towards her the tip on her neck, I glared down at her while Jack was walking around us the tiger already pinned down to the ground "Now surrender or I'll slash you" she just spit to the side and glared back at me "Oh yeah what if I don't want to surrender you little-" she did not get to finish cause I sliced through her abdomen causing everyone to gasp at what I did,she collapses to the ground bleeding her father dropped the bell staring at the sight, Jack gave a satisfied howl and sits beside my feet.
"I win this match" I sheathed my sword and then hearing the students scream and yelling for me, they ran towards us with a happy expression but an angry looking teacher behind, I did not have time to find out because my vision blurred and I blacked out after that.
