The student council was a regular room, it was not verly large nor too small.It was not fancy and not too old.Truth to be told the room was too simple. It had a sofa, a few chairs and a table.
There were five people who were occuying the student council room at the moment . Two of them were boys and the rest were girls.And currently all of them wore a serious expression except one boy.
The reason for such a situation was the announcement that came few minutes before.
'Yuki Hirota, Please visit the student council in the main building for the weekly meeting at 1.00 p.m'
It was just a simple announcement. But to them the announcement spelled serious trouble.
The first one to break the ice was Saya She said
'Yuki kun, don't go... We don't know what they might do to you.'
'I agree with saya's opinion Yuki, Its dangerous' said Kaguya
'I dont care, do whatever you want' Miwa san said as if it didn't concern her.
'Boss, I will follow you, even if its a journey to the depth of hell!!' Yamato said that with an weird sense of conviction. .
'Hey Yamato how many times should i remind you to call me by my name?And why is every one so freaked out, just chill, I am just going to a simple meeting .'
'Don't worry... I will be back soon'
With that Yuki left the student council room.
'Simple meeting, huh... It would be great if it was just that'
Yuki thought to himself while he was making his way to the student council in the main building of the school, Tokyo Academy.His school was one of the most reknown school in the tokyo.The funny thing is the school is not known for its accomplishments in academics and sports but rather for its top rate mages who were enrolled in the school.
Yep... Mages You heard it right. Of course as you would have probably guessed they are the peeps who could use magic.By the way How did the fucking mages came into existence, You ask? Let me tell you, Its a long story.
You could say that everything started around 12 years ago, It was the time when many scientific breakthrough were made by great minds in every fields.Some of the notable breakthrough were made in fields revolving around genetics, artificial intelligence and cybernetics.
In genetics, new discoveries in nano technology which made use of nanites allowed humans to exceed almost every limits of the human body.The genetically modified humans had a enhanced speed and reflexes many times than that of an ordinary human.The nanites also slowed down the ageing process thus increasing the lifespan of humans adding another 100 years.
In a similar way, The breakthrough made in cybernetic was the creation of first non hackable brain implants.The implants made in the past were prone to hacking by skilled users, who messed with the functionalities of implants as far as to cause damages to brains which sometimes led to brain death.But now thanks to the discovery of new shielding technology it was now possible to prevent hackers from accessing and controlling implants of other users.
And one of the notable feature of the implant was that it was now possible to eliminate the mental limitation of the mind in physical functions of the human body and hence thereby helping the user's bodies to achieve full potential.Some of the oother advantages were increased memory capabilities , ability to process a large amount of information with ease, enhanced reflexes and enhanced senses.It could also be helped to keep the emotions of the users in check by emotion manipulation.
Finally, One of the main breakthrough was the creation of sentient artificial intelligence.Even though there were many advanced A.I systems which were already available.This was by far the best among them because it was the first A.I system to achieve sentience and had intelligence that rivalled the humans .
Thus humans were enjoying a peaceful life.thanks to the technologies the humans now could live for a long time in a disease free world.
But suddenly an unexplained phenemenon occured In many regions all over the world uniformly.A rift occured in the space around those regions and monsters appeared from the rifts. The monsters which appeared were very similar to the creatures that could be found in the folklores and myths around the world.And the crazy thing is they were using magic.
Startled by the monsters which were capable of using magic many lost their lifes due to the fear but soon they recoverd from the initial shock and started to fight back against the monstersThe guns and other weapons were helful in only slowing down the monsters as it didn't kill them. The civilians were forced to flee to the underground shelters built in the past for their safety.Since the monsters could easily enter into homes breaking the shields
One of the main facts that should be noted was that the humans were very lucky.Since it seemed that the monsters had no specific purpose they were just focusing on destroying whater they laidtheir eyes on sometimes they even fought against each other. So whenever they had the chance they brought some of the injured monsters to the lab to research them and find some weakness so as to kill them.
Their efforts finally succeeded since they soon figured out that the source of magic generated by these monsters were due to the mana particles present in their body.They further found out that these mana particles get diminished as they use magic and then the mana particles get replenished over time.On further research they were pleasantly surprised when they found that these mana particles were also present in the body of human beings.
But the only problem was that these mana particles were dormant in the humans.With this breakthrough they tried hard to figure out the activation factor for the mana particles so they backtraced the ways in which the monsters created magic.Thus they developed a magical device which activated the mana particles and thus enabling people to use magic.But unfortunately mana could not be activated by roughly 40-5 percent humans due to reasons unknown.Since the rest could use magic they didn't research further into those who couldn't due to time constraints.
On further research on humans who could use magic they found that the magic had different types.
And thus the magic was classified into 7 different types
* Fire
* Water
* Wind
* Earth
* Space
* Light
* Dark
Although they could use magic there were still some restrictions.Most humans were capable of learning only one type of magic according to their mana affinity.And it was only in some rare cases there were people who could use more than one type of magic.
By the way they named the people who were capable of using magic are named Mages.
The monsters which could not be defeated by guns and other weapons took damage to the spells casted by the mages.And thus the mages were divided into teams according o the magic affinities and were directed to the places infested by the monsters, which could be more susceptible to their affinities.For example to kill a monster with ice affinity, a mage with fire affinity was sent.
In this way the monsters were defeated.But it didn't stop the phenomenon.The occurance of the rifts occured more frequently and thus sometimes the mages were required to fight them without any rest.

As a result of the frequent battles, Soon a huge flaw was pointed out my most mages.The mages who were older complained about frequent mana depletion as it could even be deadly in fights against the monsters.It would prove to be deadly.After some furtherresearch it was found that the mana capacity of mages whose mana was activated at a older age had lesser mana capacity when compared to the young mages.
It was a serious flaw and there was absolutely nothing that could be done to increase the mana reserve of the adult mages.So in regard to the future every government uniformly agreed to compulsarily activate the mana in children from seven years old.Along with regular studies they are to learn and train in magic techniques.
The reason behind the government announcement was simple.By training the children to become future mages not only increases their ease of magic use but also completely negates the roblem of mana depletion which was found in the adults.And it was found that these children hadthe capacity to out perform even the adult mages which was necessary since it would help them hold ground infront of stronger monsters.One more advantage in activating the mana at an young age was that the mana capacity would increase at a faster rate when compared to adults.
Following the government announcement seperate schools were setup all over the world to develop these young mages.In the first day of their enrollment their mana was activated and went on to learn further about magic.Training on how to create and control magic spells were taught to every children. There were even mok battles between the students to gauge each othersability.
Thus 12 years have passed.And manythings have changed.No it would be right to say that everything has changed.It is still amazing how fast it has changed.
Now in almost all power structures the leaders were 100 percent mages.The normal eole or popularly called nomages by the mages couldnot even dream to become a leader in any power structure be it a small office or the government.
The technological and other developments almost became nonexistent.All the big name companies went out of business.The common reason stated for this was the rift phenomenon and the monsters.But the nomages believed that the mages halted them so as to prevent nomages from getting more power.Their belief was not enirely baseless because for years there were rumours of a technology which could be usedeven by nomages to produce magic.But the mages never said anything about it.
It was not a tyrannical rule by any means but to the nomages it certainly felt like that.Because everywhere only the mages were given priority andthere were discrimintion against nomages.Which could only be due to the fact that the mages saw the nomagesas inferior creatures.The mages were drunk with power and there was nothing that the no mages could do to change that .
Slowly the society has finally fallen into the hands of the mages who kept everything close to their hearts.And they fore sure didn't care for the nomages.
And now lets come back to the Tokyo Academy. Tokyo Academy is considered to be one of the best schools in the country since it has produced many powerful mages in a short period of time.
The principal of the Academy was considered to be one of the most powerful mages.But he was different than most mages in a sense that he didn't drown in his own power as he was a wise man and he was sad that the nomages were discriminated by the mages.
To stop the discrimination of the nomages he suddenly thought of a plan.
'So what if I permitted the admittance of nomages into my school?'
The magic schools even though had similar academic system as that of the nomages never allowed nomages to enroll in their resective school.Since they believed that the nomages were not useful.
To the principal it felt like an absolutely wonderful idea.Therfore he soon made arrangements for admitting the nomages intohis academy.At first there were many resistance since many mages felt it was not a good idea.But the principal not afraid of the resistance cointinued to moe hislan forwar.Since he felt that if nomages and mages were studying at a same school strong bond could be formed between them which could possibly help to stop the discrimination in the future.And finally three years ago he made it possible for the normal students to enroll in the Tokyo Academy.
But unfortunately rather than a strong bond, This move enraged the student mages and similar to the adults they also began to discriminate against the normal students and cases of violence against them began to pop out.STumped by this develoment the principal who didn't know what to do, first condemned the discrimination of the normal studnets and then transferred the normal students to the new building.He also created stricter rules and severe punishment if the mages were to use violence against normal students.Even though the new move slowed down the bullying it didn' eliminate it.
'They are looking at me with eyes that are aimed to kill'
Yuki thought as he found the students glaring at him while he was on his way to the student council room.
'Excuse Me, May I come in?'
With that he opened the door of the Student's Council Room.He asked in a polite voice.It was his first time to be called for a meeting.Normally he would have avoided the meeting since it was dangerous but due to recent developments he could not avoid it since his decison may affect the entire students body.
'Come in... '
He heard a voice from further inside, which was most probably the student council president of the mages.Nothing much was known about the mysterious president other than the fact that the president was a S rank mage and a powerful one among the very few S rank mages in the academy.
He went inside after hearing the reply and was surprised to see only two people sitting in the room.One was Touji, an A rank mage who was a fire and earth type magician.He was widely known due to the mock battles.The other one was a mysterious red haired girl who should be around the same age as him.
Yuki guessed that she might be the Student council president since he heard that there were some rumours saying that the student council president was a red haired beauty..
'So what's the topic thats gonna be discussed in today's meeting' Yuki asked the red haired beauty in a somewhat profesional tone
'Nothing, I simply wanted to meet the new student council president of the no-mages,Pardon me for not introducing me before, My name is Kazumi and i am the student council president of the mages.'
'Oh... Fuck it So much for the simple meeting, Tiara..'
Yuki thought to himself before he found himself losing consciousness.
