That morning was great; or at least that's what I wanted to say.
Arriving at the stadium, I hurried to the post and grab my seat number.
I went inside the stadium. I was filed with a lot of new students already. Most of them were using their real form, their astral form, which is pretty wild if you ask me.
I looked at my number ticket: 134B
'134B... 134B...' I looked around to find the 134th row. After a while I finally found the 134th row, and I rushed there.
'Ouch!' I suddenly bumped into someone. I looked up, that "someone" was using a human form, I think. He had an average male teenager's body with long spiky blonde hair with red at the ends, tied to the back. He looked a lot like a gangster.
'Oi! Watch where you're going you..- wait a second, now that I look at you...' he studied me from head to toe. His gaze froze me in my place.
'So you're that human new student everyone was talking about! Lucky for you I'm in good moods today, otherwise I would have devoured you already. Now move it!' I hurried off to the other side as he left. After the talk with Riuna that morning I learned a bit more on astral forms and reading auras, but I can't seem to read his. All I know is that he is dangerous, very, very dangerous. I tried to forget about that accident and went straight for my seat.
But if you think that it, then you're wrong. It actually became worse.
As I sat, the people (creatures?) around me started to whisper to each other and keep glaring at me. It finally stopped when the ceremony finally began.
It began with an introduction from the principal, then the headmistress. I didn't pay attention much but there's one part that I could never forget. The Ranking Ceremony.
We were split into 3 groups, based on what? I don't know. But I guess they know much about us since most of them in my group are quite similar, as in quite dangerous. There was a huge serpent with razor teeth, a large hound with super sharp claws, and that guy who I bumped into was also there. What makes no sense is why I was there. Everyone there looked so strong and dangerous; you'd never mess with this bunch.
And then, in the middle of the field, a crystal ball kind of device appears. The sound of trumpets are heard, a voice calls out 'Let the Ceremony begin!'
*****
So we were supposed to hit that crystal ball, isn't that fun?
We get turns hitting that ball. Unfortunately, I got the last turn. Which means, I'll pretty much attract attention.
So, the crystal ball is supposed to classify our ranks and class, and all we need to do is to hit it a hard as we can. Simple right?
Ranks go up from 1 to 16, the stronger the higher. Class is a bit different, it's more to our power type. Class goes up from Yellow-Green-Blue-Red-Silver-Gold-Imperial
I watched from my seat, everyone did the ritual one by one. There's only one that stood out from the rest
'Leone Rank 9 Gold Class!' the announcer spoke
The whole crowd speaks in awe.
'Rank 9 already?'
'How crazy strong is that guy!?'
'And a Gold Class on top of that!'
Gold Class by the way, is a premium fighter class. And it is in fact, super duper rare.
'Surprisingly he's better than I thought...' Suddenly I said that out loud. Why did I do that? That was one of the stupidest thing I've done so far.
Of course after that everyone was staring at me in disgust. They whispered stuffed like 'Why is that human here? Does she even know what we're doing right now? Tch...' More or less?
Finally my turn has come, which in fact is last, I believe I told you already. I got all the attention I never wanted. I'm determined to end this quickly.
I stepped into the ring and summoned my weapons, chopsticks- whatever.
It's not like I ever wished to be here in the first place, I just adapted to the situation and judged that being here is best for me right now, and I know that. It's just all those stares and stuff is making me feel uneasy and unwanted here.
I rammed all my anger into the crystal ball. Blue flame broke out, freezing everything within the ring.
'Erida South Rank 10 Blue Class!'
Wait- what just happened?
