The Golden Touch of Death

Schoolyard Brawl 2

Welcome students, today will be your first day of class. Each student received a class schedule based off your starting scores. The instructors will call for a class letter and number follow them if your number and letter match so don't miss it. After that you will be given instructions on locate next classes and other things that they deem necessary. Please, work hard to become a bright mage in the future."

" Class A-1! Assemble!" I leave right off the back. I walk over and we file out in a line behind him. Honestly he looks more like a drill sargent than a mage with his blonde buzz cut and buff physique.

" OOh so we are even in the same class." My new roommate said very energetically. He has some weird habits such as taking long baths, filling the bathroom with weird products, and everything that made me move out my old shared bathroom! Is this just how children are?!

" Yeah looks like it, but seeing as I couldn't ask you at breakfast I want to now: who is your Patron?"

" I'll tell you if you tell me."

" Lumen."

" Vecker " Of course my religious antithesis. Luckily the kingdom practices religious freedom so he wont be treated as a heretic or anything.

" Hey, quiet down back there!" I didn't think he could hear us whispering." Enter and take any open seat."

I sit in the second row slightly off the center and of course my 'friends' sat on opposite sides of me. One looking more annoyed than the other.

" You three move up front." I got up and didn't question it and neither did they as it seems like their plans are to stick with me."Now that everyone is seated I would like to congratulate you. Many of you have worked hard through two years of classes and will no doubt become diligent mages. For you three look around, notice something weird. It's never been a case were we thrust up to the graduating class. There may be some second years but you three are the only ones here and two of which are under 7 years old." I know we are kids but, geez every 9 year old here looks like they just heard that Santa isn't real. I didn't even think I would start here I thought I would be a second year.

" No way I made it! Yes!"

" Settle down, Ezekiel you barely made it. Honestly I don't know how you manage to get literally one point in the door in every category. Hell Mr. Mitchell had gotten bumped up to special testing because his high Mana scan score. And Mr.Matthan not only has highest mana but received a perfect score on the written test and though non-offensive magic his spells are quite powerful. He is the class's number 1!" Okay now we getting the Isekai luck.

" I want to challenge you to a duel!"

" Really, are yo-" it wasn't Ray but a female student. She had a straigh short black hair in a bob and and scarlet red eyes.

" I have worked hard for two full years I don't believe that even with less mana I will lose." She looks at me with determination.

" I mean I can allow it if you want to but you're in 4th and honestly the gap between 3rd and 2nd is big. If this was against 3rd it would be easy but first." The teacher said truthfully but Ezekiel looked hurt.

" I understand sir but I must do this!" Oh man I feel kinda bad now. I understand wanting to be acknowledge for your hard work and someone appears and one ups you.

" No! I want to challenge him, and stated so yesterday."

" Look Ray, one more day isn't going to kill you and beside now we'll be even because I saw some of your moves." I stand and look her directly in the eye." I get it and I accept so don't go easy on me because I'm younger."
