Rise of the Twelve Star Mage

Chapter 11:Homeroom

In a classroom. Filled with young mages. Laughing and telling stories.

"Uhh, hopefully he's alright. That nurse wore the same style of coat Mr.Marko wore. Perhaps she was part of The Federation" Eriko thinks to herself as she sits alone in a row by herself.

"Look it's the twelve-star mage" "She was pretty strong at the auditorium" "She was just a show-off." "She got lucky not blessed getting those powers"

"Tch such small minds. Childish. Words dont mean anything to me" Eriko thinks to herself as she quietly sits at her desk and ignores them.

SWING

STEP STEP STEP

A tall woman walks in as the students quiet down.

"Good morning students am your homeroom teacher, Celeste Carmen," the woman says in a calm but alluring voice. She wears a black long dress, with scarlet eyes, high heels, and long black hair with red tips.

"So this is our homeroom teacher," Eriko thinks to herself.

"In the beginning, there was nothing but the planet and the stars. The stars shined bright as they encapsulated the night sky. The Twelve Stars Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. These Twelve are said to be blessings to those who wield them. They can have enormous amounts of mana and power." Ms.Carmen continues to speak. "We are very fortunate to have one with us here today. Ms.Eriko Angello or The Maiden." she begins to give more praise to Eriko as she points to where she sits.

A round of applause occurs.

"Uh ah ha" Eriko nervously waves at the class with a fake smile on her face.

STEP STEP STEP

"Is this the right place?!" a familiar voice says outside.

"Yeah, it says 1B. And jeez can you be a little more louder?

"Am I being loud?! Can't help it?"

"We gotta be quiet they must be discussing something important"

SWING

The door swings open.

Two mages step forward.

---------------------------------------------------

Me and Ezekiel enter Class 1B.

We entered as all eyes were on us. I led us into the room as we walked towards the center. The room setup was 3 columns of 4 rows and a long table all centered around the podium where another beautiful woman was standing.

"What up with all these beautiful women today the nurse and now her," I thought to myself.

"Oh, and you two are Mr. Valerus and Mr.Ezekiel great showing today in our opening ceremony. Also, that little match you had out there. Exciting. Are you both alright?"

"Yes, we are," I respond.

"It was just a friendly exhibition," Ezekiel says as he smiles.

"Oh I forgot to introduce myself and Celeste Carmen Please sit anywhere."

"I look around the room and I see a familiar face Eri"

We both start to head over to the row that she sat in. As we walked a couple of steps near the 3rd row on the right side of the room.

"Alright now that everyone is present we can talk about-"

"Hey, you feeling alright?" Eri whispers to me. "Yeah am feeling fine" "So what's the deal with him." "You talking about me?!" Ezekiel says out loud.

Ezekiel gains everyone's attention.

"I suggest everyone be listening to what I have to say next. Especially you three."

The three of us listen intensively.

"The Phantom Order is no joke. There dark guild whose intentions are nothing but bad just as explained in the assembly. I want all students to travel in groups and avoid traveling alone. Furthermore, in the coming weeks, we will have the Magus Exam"

"Magus Exam?" I questioned.

"It is an exam every 1st-year student must take with a couple of exceptions. This test will determine your Mage Class Ranking. Each day each class will be used to learn about the Exam and what to expect."

"The rankings are as follows

D Class Mage

C Class Mage

B Class Mage

A Class Mage

S Class Mage"

"So that nurse Aisaki was an S Class even though she's a lieutenant? I thought to myself.

"To give an example all the student council members are ranked B Class and Above. In contrast, we the teachers are A Class Rank and above. The rest of you are default D Class Mages. Except for Eriko and Ezekiel here who have been bestowed a Blessing there B Class Mages," Ms.Carmen states.

"So that means I gotta place huh" I thought to myself. "Well, no matter I'll show 'em how good I am. They got a sneak peak when I faced Ezekiel so it'll be a breeze."

A murmur goes around the classroom

"So you're saying that those two dont gotta take the test?" A voice in the classroom speaks their opinion. "They dont have to take it?" "How come they getting the special treatment?"

"QUIET" Ms.Carmen demands. "Just for your information, you dont have to be a Twelve Star Mage to be except for this event. There are a handful of other first-year mages that are exempt as well in class Class 1A and 1C as well so don't complain. However, those who are exempt shouldn't relax as they will go on a special trip to train North from here in the Falos Region after this has ended. Then they will prepare for the Aiz Magnificent Magic Games. A magic event where schools from 4 regions will choose 4 young mages from their academies to compete in a 16-mage tournament to see which school is the best.

"Wow, so everything this year will lead up to the Aiz Magnificent Magic Games." I thought to myself.

"Ugh, no matter I smash all those guys from the other three schools and come out the Victor. HAHAHA"

"That if you picked," Eriko says as she is already stressed and disturbed by Ezekiel.

DING DONG DING DONG

"That's the end of the first period head on to your second period. Class Over" as Ms.Carmen leaves the room.

"Hey, Eri what kind of magic do you think she got?"

"Am not too sure am more interested in seeing if she is an A-class Mage or S-class mage"

"I just wanna fight her"

Me and Eriko pause and look at Ezekiel.

"What I wanna see if she's worthy to be our homeroom teacher. A person who's supposed to protect her students. You guys dont want a weak teacher that can't protect us right?"

"Right"

As we all walk out of the classroom.
