Suddenly, I realized the mess that I caused. Broken glass were all over the floor...and the machine smoked up in little clouds of grey.

"Ah...sorry...I caused a huge mess," I conveyed.

"That's fine, Shiro. It was old anyways," Ji said, casting a spell to conceal the smoke.

But 400? I definitely went up...even if I didn't really try...

Standing there, I watched Ji get rid of the machine in an instant.

"Class, self study," Ji announced.

"Shiro...come see me for a minute," Ji said, pointing towards the slide doors.

As I was told, I followed him out of class, closing the slide door as I left.

"I though I told you to bring down your current mana by a few notches," Ji whispered.

"I did! In fact, I turned it down by a lot," I fought back.

I don't get it...I was sure that I held back...

"In any cases, try not to cause anymore trouble," Ji mentioned, sighing.

"I'll try..." I mumbled.

By that, me and Ji went back in the classroom and lessons went on without another problem. But, I couldn't say it was trouble for Ji...More like trouble for myself. Rem kept on glaring at me...and when there was an assignment where I had to interact with other Demi's...they would ignore me, scared. I was too naive...

I thought my transfer was going to be a whole lot easier...

When lessons were over, I was the first one out the door...Somehow, I felt so relieved...I had thought that I belong but, it seems that I will have to make an effort for everyone's approval... especially Rem...

Honestly though...why is he curious of me? I'm not really special in anyway...
er...not that I can end the world or something...

Sarcasm...

By now, it should be the start of break period...Demi's were all over the place...they seemed to fit in pretty well compared to me.

What should I do now?...

Now that I think of it...didn't Ji said something about battle for tomorrow's lesson? To me, I love the battlefield more than anyone. The heart racing one to one with your opponent just gives you a sensation that you can't explain. But, it's fun...going against strong opponents and fight for glory.

For today's lesson...I was rank 1 with 400...and my opponent, will be Rem in rank 2 with 370.

I wonder how strong Rem is...

Maybe...I should go train for tomorrow...

By that, I tracked down the memory of where the training grounds were...Hopefully, no one is there at this time so I could train by myself with Kiryu.

If I remembered correctly...it should be around the corner...

At the next turn to the corresponding corner, I spotted a pair of massive doors with a plaque that read 'training area'.
