Hot.
…So hot.
The weather's so hot.
It's been a while since I last felt summer heat.
Since I met Kuroyuki Shiroha, my concept regarding heat seems to disappear.
Okay… it looks like I got here a little early. I might as well ask Mr Waals Junior regarding to 'that'.
Activating my screen, I looked for Reus Waals's contact with my authorisation and contacted him through the IKAssembly.
'Morning, Reus Waals' I texted.
'This is Lucifer Nightwalker von Nightmare, the special student'
'I have a favour to ask of you'

After Persia and I rode the subway station towards the centre of the Central District, I immediately got off the train and was currently…“Blerghhhh……………………”…puking my soul out in the men’s washroom.Ugh, I feel like crap.I can’t believe I had motion sickness.Come to think of it, this was my first time riding a train. It was unexpected because I was fine despite riding a shaking helicopter under such crude weather.So… a train motion sickness it is.I still had to ride it one more time when we went back… ugh…… just thinking about it gives me the chills.‘I bought the pills’ Persia sent me a message.‘U can come out now’Rinsing my mouth and throat with water, I sloppily exited the washroom with a fatigued look.“Here, water,” Persia said as she gave me a bottle of water.“…Thanks, Persia……”“I also bought the pills you wanted.”Saying that, Persia handed over the entire tablets of Antihistamines.Antihistamines… I might feel drowsy, dizzy, and decreased mental alertness from the si
First day of Spring. January. Current time: 7 a.m. I'm currently sitting at the front door of my house, while struggling my left foot into my jogging shoe. It is a gift from my cute little sister, Restia. Well, it's not that I felt like wearing new things in a new year. Apparently, my shoes exploded yesterday. As for the details— I had this little curse by The Black Cat of Misfortune, which I stepped on a trap, a landmine that I installed to prevent from those dangerous magical beasts that’s lurking in the forest nearby. After tying my shoelace, I face the corridor. “Done yet…?” “Restia is coming…!” A black hair, red eyes, and a 163 cm girl with an energetic look immediately replies, while storming out from the end of the corridor, where the dining room is. It took her a perfect one second sprint for her to reach me. That said, while landing with both of her feet, she stops in just a few centimet
Finally, Central Imperial Island-- Imperial Knights Academy.Ever since 3am, it's been a total of five hours ever since I travel across the ocean, on the X-586 helicopter.I'm quite fed-up.Ignoring the warnings from the pilot while I unbuckled my seat-belt, I jumped off from the helicopter without a parachute, where it's 8000 feet high in the sky.After diving across the sky to search for an appropriate spot to land, with my sense of equilibrium, I flip my body and land with my feet......while creating a hole on the pathway with my shoes half-sunken into the ground.Damn, the tiles are more fragile than I thought.The spot I land is the main path towards the main gates of Imperial Knights Academy, where the back of it is the path to the city.Like a forest, the sides of the path is covered by thick trees.No one would catch me in an act of vandalism on destroying the pathway..................."Gargh...!
"……Stop standing there and state your business already." After a cold sigh, with a voice like the murmuring of a clear stream— the girl spoke to me. Maybe she had been patiently waiting for my response, she furrowed her brows from displeasure and glared at me afterwards. "…H-Huh? Oh, yeah. Sorry." I find myself to be apologizing instinctively. It was probably I was staring at her for too long. …Come to think of it, I almost lost myself there. What is she…? It's like I'm getting sucked into some sort of abyss. This girl is dangerous— really, really, dangerous. I need to be careful not to get draw in again by her eyes. "Erm… I just transferred here today, and I got lost somehow, can you show me the way to the Student Council building…?" I asked with a smile. For how eerie and awkward my smile is, I guess
Instincts, intuitions, and sixth sense, though similar, but they are three completely different things.When you decide something and act without a need to think, that’s instinct.When you understand something without the need for conscious reasoning, that’s intuition.When you were given the awareness that’s not explicable in terms of normal perception, that’s sixth sense.
Damn, I’m going to be late. But that’s okay, the Student Council President’s building is just right in front of me. It’s the same as the picture.I’m currently on the left side of the building. Then, the main entrance is probably on the other side facing the other buildings.Thus, I walk to the main entrance, clearing the rest of the icicles sticking on me at the same time.“Phew… just in time.”
From what Persia explained, Imperial Knights Academy is a school that has implemented unique, first-in-the-world educational systems. It is a school that is outfitted with the newest and most exuberant facilities. Of course, it is a very harsh school. If one wants to have a decent learning environment, then one must get good grades. This is the fate of the students who attend the academy.Their fate was decided by two main systems.Firstly, the class division system. Their class division is determined based upon the results of the enrolment test, which we have the paper test and practical fight test. According to their
‘START!’There’s not even a countdown.“LEVEL ONE.” The system informs.A humanoid figure appeared. Judging its distance, it seems to be around 80m away. But his weapon surprised me. Though it’s a rough image, I can tell it is a large sword.Now then. It says level one. Though it says level one, is it weak?

Nowadays, there aren't many who mastered all three keys. Those who mastered them are called the triplex magicians, which were rare to find in this era."Yes, I'm one. And…?" Lefiya answered without being proud, or rather, she was unconcerned about it."Oh, nothing," I replied. "I was merely curious about it.""…That sounds like the lines of a person who will ask me a favour later," Lefiya said to me with a stern look."Why, indeed," I answered blandly. "How did you know?""…From experience." When Lefiya made that remark, her stern, cold expression remained."Sounds like a bad one," I said."…It is." She answered coldly.Whatever happened in her past looked like she'd been through a lot."Oh, that's right— Lefiya, do you have any plans later?" I asked. 
Magic, or magic spells is a supernatural power to bend the laws of nature. It could be cast by converting the source, which is mana, and performing either one of the 'three keys', which are the catalyst for it.Before talking about the 'three keys', let's talk about mana.To begin with, what is mana?It's a form of energy that could be converted into magic spells— but only by performing either one of the 'three keys' could convert mana into magic.Mana was stored inside your body— the mana core. Like how unique it was in everybody's Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), fingerprints, and even their genetic and cultural traits, everyone was born with a different mana capacity, density and wavelength from each other; there may be similarities, but not the same. Just the mana capacity itself is rather distinct when you compare human's mana capacity (the lowest) with the elves (one of the highest).
Lefiya continues to apologise with her head lowered."… It's no use to blame her about that now," I said. "For now… let's just focus on these."Telling him that, I look at the items on the desk.A silver semi-auto pistol with a magazine of a capacity of 20 bullets.19 9×18mm Ultra bullets.A strand of scarlet hair.Video: Lefiya's bullied scene with video quality of 4k, 120 FPSPicture 1: Lefiya's blood stain on the grassPicture 2: Damaged tree trunk and bullet holePicture 3: Damaged grass and soil and bullet hole"Looks like the only thing useful is probably the fingerprints on the gun and that one strand of hair…" I said."No, don't you give me that." Principal retorted with his eyes squinted at me, seemingly annoyed. "You al
CLAP."Alright then, let's get down to business, shall we?"With a clap, Principal invited us to sit in front of his desk as he casually sat on his seat.BAM!!!He immediately slammed his fist down on the table when we sat."WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, LEFIYA RIOS CHALLIA!? HOW MANY TIMES HAD I WARNED YOU NOT TO STICK YOURSELF INTO TROUBLE!!?" Principal yelled with bloodcurdling anger.…It made a dent at the table.It surprised Lefiya so much that her hair turned mauve purple, but not me— I'm already used to it. It's his common pattern to slam onto something when he's angry."Wait, so it's like, she's gone missing before too?" I asked."No, no, that's not it." Principal corrected me. "It's just that every single trouble she involves herself in is putting this country into greatttttt danger.""I-I-I-I-I'm sorry……" Lefiya hurriedly apologises by bowing her head several times."What do you mean…… putting this country into greattttttt danger?" I asked.Principal heaved a short sigh afterwards
It was said that elves are the most prideful among all races, even more so than dragons.They are a race specialising in the use of magic in which every one of them had an extraordinary amount of mana that stood at the top of all races.They had a similar appearance to humans except for their long ears. It was also said that every one of them is beautiful, and perhaps such is the cause of their arrogance.That said, the worst ones are the light elves living in Alfheim, which is one of the countries in the World Tree Yggdrasil Republic, surrounding the world tree Yggdrasil.That said, there are also dark elves, sea elves, snow elves, and forest elves.Among these five elves races, forest elves— said to be one with the forest, were in charge of the World Tree, Yggdrasil.Because the fairies were said to live within Yggdrasil.Fairies
I hurriedly head back to the Second Year Faculty.…Has it been five minutes already…? Let's hope those people haven't fled the scene.When I got back to the central courtyard, no one was there anymore.The bullets, bullet shells, glove and flip knife, were gone. Even if I scanned the whole area for metal detection, none of them showed up.What's left was the bullet hole left at the tree trunk and the ground, and this stain on the grass is probably Lefiya's blood.Annoyed by not having any solid evidence, I heaved a long sigh.It was when I realized a strand of scarlet hair stuck on my shirt and the pistol the girl used was in my pocket.…Better capture some images about these first.The only solid evidence I had now were only this strand of scarlet hair and the fingerprints on this pistol.
Because I was standing behind her, she couldn't see who I was.As for her companions— they recognized my face, and were stunned in shock.Six of them wore a black masks covering their faces. They had gloves, and they even wore coloured contact lenses to hide their eye colour.… That's awfully well prepared. They aren't those Second Year C-Class students listed in the check-in records, are they?"That's my line." I retorted while gently twisting her arm."Ahhh…!?"The girl was forced to let go of her knife because of the pain.Still grabbing her arm, I removed her hood; it revealed her beautiful, long scarlet hair.It doesn't seem like a wig, but I can't really tell whether it is a wig or not. Nevertheless, not one of the seven students that I memorized earlier has this kind of hairstyle or hair col
