Boring Life In A Magic Highschool

Entrance Test preparations

The entrance exam has finally come. I woke up earlier than usual and prepared myself. And now, I find myself standing in the gymnasium, lined up with my classmates.

This gymnasium is surrounded by iron walls and several pieces of equipment. It's also very developed just like the other parts of the school, with high-tech windows along with huge screens on the sides.
All of the different classes are lined up together.

Since Takahashi and Akamine are in a different class, they are on a different line.

Now, I am just in front of Haruto, with Ayane and Fujimoto just a few distance away from us.

"Kyosuke-san, are you nervous?" Haruto asked with his tense voice.

"Not really. How about you?"

"That's amazing. You're not easily frazzled by things."

"What makes you say that?"

"I mean... Fujimoto-san challenged you to a fight. She is a very strong individual, we've all seen her skill. Yet, you didn't back down, and you even defeated her."

"Hmm, I guess so."

"I'm so envious, hehe."

Haruto was trying his best to maintain composure in his voice, however, it seemed like nervousness hugged him tightly. Not just him, even the bright and friendly Ayane Hina was staring emptily in front of her while fidgeting her fingers.

Moreover, the whole gymnasium isn't filled with the buzzing of overlapping voices. It is rather quiet, which is quite unsettling.

Just then, a loud echoing sound of slow, footsteps sounded throughout the gymnasium. It was so loud to the point where immediately, all attention shifted in front.

Walking at the front is a woman, wearing a white girl's uniform. The way she walked was of a queen, smooth and elegant, from the way she walked to her posture.

She seemed familiar... But, where did I see her...?

I just remembered. She's the girl from the rooftop. Her hair was insanely long, to the point where she had two female students behind her who carried her long, purplish hair, preventing it from touching the ground.

She also had the same, white hat that slightly obscured her face, yet still showed her pinkish, red eyes that stared in front coldly.

Then, she arrived in the middle.

One of the students gave her a mic. She took a look at everyone before proceeding to speak.

"Good morning to everyone in this gymnasium. I am Ayako Yukime, the Vice-President of Seiei Magic Academy, and the one in charge of this whole exam." A womanly, calm voice spoke.

"I am here to announce that we will begin our departure. Outside this gymnasium, there are a total of ten buses assigned for each respective section. To eliminate any confusion, the names of the sections are written on the front window of the bus. In a few moments, the iron doors will open, and you will be allowed to go out. The council greatly wishes the success of all of you."

Just then, the walls covering the room were all slowly lifted upwards, revealing the morning blue sky. Outside, there were ten buses in total lined up. And as she said, there are screens attached to the front window of the bus. The bus for our classroom was on the second-to-the-last place.

"Class 1-B, gather up!" Asahi-Sensei yelled to us from the front of the bus. We lined up and slowly and one by one got on the bus. I was assigned to the first and front row of the bus along with Kyouko. I sat near the window while she sat beside me, reading a book with her headphones on.
