A/N: Hello there! Hope you are finding this story interesting so far!

"Hehe. Aichi, what do you want to be when you grow up?" The dark figure of a boy sat next to me.

"I don't know yet. What about you?"

"I want to learn magic!" He grinned a bright smile.

"Wow, really?! That's amazing!"

"I want to Hisuri Gakuen!" He said. He leaned on a tree.

"Ah, I wish I could go to. But my father would probably oppose that. I'm a bit busy tomorrow so if I can't sneak out. I'm sorry."

"I'll still be able to see you right?"

"Maybe. But I don't know."

"Hmm... I know! Let's make a promise then!" He took out a card from his pocket.

"I give you this Blaster Blade card as a way for you to remember me. I'll give you luck on convincing your parents so that we can both go to Hisuri Gakuen when we are old enough. That way we can still meet each other later. Ok?"

"I'll try my best." I answer back. A cool breeze blows the blades of grass back and forth.

I open my eyes. It's been awhile since I had that dream. The memory of a close friend in my childhood. I forgot his name and face but he is the one that gave me hope in meeting him again. I check the digital clock on my handbook. It displays a glowing 7:24.

"Oh, I need to get ready fast." I shove off my covers and leap to my feet. I look over to my right and see that Kai was nowhere to be found. The food a brought for him was gone and replaced with a small note.

'Aichi, thanks for the food.' -Kai

"Your welcome, Kai-kun."

I gently place the note down on my desk. Grab my uniform and get dressed. I brush my teeth and try to comb my bed head.

"Ah. Why won't this one single hair stay down!" I grow frustrated.

The one cowlick springs back up.

*ding dong*

Huh? Who's that?

I walk to the door and peer through the peak-hole.

"Miwa-kun?"

I unlock the door.

Miwa-kun stood in front of me.

"Aichi! I came to say good morning!"

"Let me first get ready."

I rush around, grabbing a small bad and my student handbook.

"Ok, all ready!" I say.

"Alright then. Let's go!" Miwa drags me out. I close the in the rush.

We head for the cafeteria, wanting to get something to eat.

Miwa-kun and I sat next to each other at one of the tables. On the table rest plates of food and drinks. I, myself grabbed a cup of coffee and a plate of food.

"It's nice that they have such nice food here."

"Yeah! Lots to eat! I guess thats the benefit of going to a top class academy!" Miwa-kun chows down on a plate of scrambled eggs. I enjoy a slice of toasted bread with sweet strawberry jam.

I take a sip of the coffee. The bitter but yet soothing taste warms me.

"So you like your coffee black?" Miwa-kun asks.

"Yeah, it's calming."

"I could never drink black coffee. Too bitter. I'd go for a latte instead."

"I think that would make you more hyper than usual."

"But it tastes good!"

I smile.

We quickly finish breakfast and head to class.

I reach the classroom. Open the door, and seat myself in one of the rows. Looking around, I see many students. Right next to me sat a timid boy.

"Hello there." I greet himself.

"Eep!"

I accidentally shocked him I guess.

"Sorry to shock you."

"No no, everything's ok."

"My name is Aichi Sendou. What's yours?" I ask curiously.

"Oh. My name is Tsunayoshi Sawada." He shys away slightly.

"Hello then, Sawada-san." He was slightly shorter than me. I saw that his tie was purple. From my view, he looks like a bit of an shy airhead.

"So, what are you hobbies?" I ask curiously.

"Um. I guess just playing video games."

"Me too. Although I'm not as good."

*ding dong bing bong*

I guess class is starting now. Everyone else in the room scramble to their seats.

A young man with a dark purple suit walks up to the podium in front of a white screen at the front of the room.

"Hello everyone! I am Professor Fieroved. First thing's first, register your current seat onto your handbook. Remember, this class only lasts for 1 semester."

The other students enter their seating arrangements into the handbooks.

A hand shot up from the crowd of students.

"What is your question?" Professor Fieroved asked.

"What exactly do we do in this class?"

"Good question. I will teach you all techniques in order to visualize a spell along with building up your endurance and how to manage your mana consumption. In order for your mind to be ready, your body needs to be in perfect order."

Ah, that sounds tough. But I hope I can do my best. I look over to my left and see Sawada-san looking terrified.

"Are you ok?" I ask.

"Yeah. Well. I was never good at anything. I'm not even sure how I got into this school to begin with. So um...hope I don't fail I guess?"

"We can try our best together!" I try to reassure him.

First class of the day breezes by as all we did was introductions and ice breakers.

The bell rings signaling the end of the first class.

"Well, see you later Sawada-san."

I stand up, and head to my second class. Eager to learn spells.
