Chapter 126 - THE CEREMONY

A young man wearing First-high dress walked through the stairs ,climbing up to reach a place where he could sit. He didn't had an expression on his face as he scanned the crowd.

'There are sitting in a hierarchical manner.' he thought as he looked at the students wearing the first high uniform with its emblem on their dress.

Those with the emblem were sitting at the very front seats leaving only the back seats unoccupied.

There actually wasn't any difference in two dresses, one with the emblem and one without it. Those who scored high marks in the entrance test were delivered the dresses first. While the others got the dress later.

Due to the huge amount of students joining the school ,the authorities couldn't make the special emblem on the dresses wore by those who received it later.

Due to this the students were unknowingly classified into two categories:- 'Bloom' and 'Weed'.

Weed were generally those who were course 2 students while Bloom were those in course 1.

People in Course 2 generally have weaker magical capabilities compared to those in Course 1. Despite this, it is important to note that Course 2 students, especially the ones at *First High School* which boasts the hardest entrance exam, are still elites at using magic, especially when it comes to using combat magic, which is usually quite simple and requires fewer processes than most other forms of magic.

It would be more accurate to think of Course 1 students as having greater flexibility and complexity in their magical spells and faster invocation speeds, rather than having greater combat ability.

People in Course 2 have limited access to instructors and facilities as compared to the Blooms. Officially, it is forbidden to call the Course 2 students "Weeds".

Bloom is the name for the top 50% of people who enter First High School.

As opposed to the Weeds, Blooms have higher magic capabilities as sorted by the entrance test. This tests magic technical skills including application ability (speed of magic design), magic tolerance (scale of Magic Sequences), interference strength (strength of rewriting Eidos) and Magic Power which is a combination of the three.

The name Blooms comes from the symbol of First High, a flower with eight petals, being present on the clothing of the Course 1 students and not the Course 2 students.

The young man was followed by a beautiful girl shorter than him by a head's height.

Tatsuya turned towards Miyuki and said "Go and sit on the front seats that were course 1 students are seated."

Miyuki said "But Oni-sama I don't want to sit there, Oni-sama had scored the 3-highest marks in the theory test even though Oni-sama couldn't display his abilities in the practical test."

"Oni-sama should be able to defeat any...." before she could finish her statement ,Tatsuya interrupted her saying "It doesn't matter ,you have to sit with the course 1 students otherwise if you sit with a Weed ,it would be hard for you to make friends....."

"But..." Miyuki wanted to retort but Tatsuya patted her head and urged her to sit at front.

Miyuki pouted but complied with her Oni-sama's request. Tatsuya took his seat in the left most corner seat while watching the stage in the hall.

"Excuse me ,are these seats unoccupied????...." asked a red-head girl.

"Sure, be my guest." said Tatsuya with observing the two newcomers.

"Thank you very much." said Erika with a smile.

"Umm..... I'm Mizuki Shibata. Nice to meet you." said the girl behind Erika wearing glasses.

" I'm Tatsuya Shiba. Nice to meet you, too." replied Tatsuya.

"And I'm Erika Chiba! Nice to meet you, Shiba." said the red-head.

Mayumi walked on the stage as the hall quieted down and everyone paid attention to this beautiful yet mischievous girl ,the Eldest daughter of the *Saegusa clan*.

"Representative of the incoming class, Ichizu Ruujiki." said Mayumi with a smile as the lights focused on a spot.

An extremely handsome boy with a devilish face wearing the First high school uniform with the emblem came into view.

Many gasps sounded from all around, even though in this age people admired Power more than looks but Ichizu was just to handsome to compare.

Ichizu closed the book he was reading and passed it to the otherworldly handsome boy sitting next to him with a cold look on his face.

He stood up and gracefully walked towards stage as his perfectly sculptured body came into everyone's view.

"Damn...too handsome!!!!"

"How can someone be so handsome..???"

"Even his physique is perfect...."

"It's like god himself has made his body...."

Ichizu arrived beside Mayumi as she passed the microphone to him.

"As the sunlight streams gently, and the vivid cherry blossoms flutter on this gorgeous spring day, I feel so happy and honored that my wish to be admitted to the prestigious National Magic University Affiliated First High School has come true."

"On behalf of the incoming students, and filled with the pride of being a member of First High School.....a wish for my fellow students is to achieve what we all strive for...a good magician. " said Ichizu with a calm smile.

Ichizu was observing Tatsuya and girls beside him from his Aura-vision.

'Hypersensitivity to Spirit Particle Emission' thought Ichizu as he looked at the big b_r_e_a_s_ted girl wearing glasses.

Tatsuya and the others suddenly left after the Ceremony was over while Nikasu glanced at Ichizu and also left without a word. Knowing what will happen ,Ichizu smiled and also left for the council room.

Tatsuya was waiting for Miyuki to arrive while entertaining his guests.

"Thank you for waiting." said Miyuki as she arrived.

"I'm Miyuki Shiba." greeted Miyuki.

"I'm Mizuki Shibata and this...." before Mizuki could finish her words she was interrupted by Erika.

"I'm Erika Chiba. You can call me Erika.

Can I call you Miyuki?" asked Erika.

" Miyuki, are the people from the Student Council done with you?" asked Tatsuya as he remembered that Miyuki was asked to join the student council.

"It's all right. All we did today was introduce ourselves to her though there are still 2 people left to introduce to her.....well it can't be helped as they tend to disappear." said Mayumi as she suddenly appeared behind Miyuki.

"Why don't we head out now? Let's go to the café." said Erika after Mayumi left form the council room.

"Sure let's go...." said Tatsuya as they made their way towards the café.

After leaving the café Tatsuya and Miyuki headed towards their home as Tatsuya received a message on his home.

"Congratulations!!!!..." said the message Miya send to her son, though it didn't say anything else it was enough to show her happiness.

Tatsuya and Miyuki smiled a little and entered their home to get some rest.

{Next day}

"Yakumo! Please don't extinguish your presence and sneak up on me like that!" said Miyuki as she scolded Yakumo ,the baldy sage.

"That brand-new uniform exudes youthful innocence, and even its sheer purity can't conceal a certain sensuality."

" S-Sir? " said Miyuki stuttering.

"Like a flower bud on the verge of breaking open a fresh green bud just starting to sprout! That's right moe! This is moe!" said the baldy." as he was saying that a glint passed his eyes and he turned and blocked an incoming blow.

Bang...!!!!

"Master, you've clearly rattled Miyuki, so would you mind calming yourself down?" said Tatsuya in a monotonous voice.

"Good for you, Tatsuya! Take my back, and see what happens." said Yakumo as he suddenly blurred a strikes Tatsuya on the c_h_e_s_t.

Bang.....!!!!

After being trained by the Ruujiki clan masters ,baldy had largely surpassed the previous himself and reached a realm which only Ichizu and Nikasu had attained.

Though the strike didn't contain much power ,it send Tatsuya flying like a broken kite.

Tatsuya backflips in mid-air and lands on his feet when a pain assaulted his ribs. They weren't broken but the pain was too much.

"Well what he said is true.....you are too old for stuff like this...." sounded a cold voice as the disciples went on high alert and took fighting stances.

Yakumo smiled and waved his hand, indicating to stand down and said "What a surprise.!!!!"
