Larme Brisee
Chapter 2: Flowing Through the Vein [part 3]

"Good morning, kids! Sorry I'm late." There was the sound of our teacher rushing in with the sound of 'tap tap' from the right of his purple shoes. Our teacher had purple hair with twin tails style hairpins placed on her shoulders. The man spontaneously retracted his hand and listened to what the teacher was about to say.

The teacher then wrote his name on the blackboard using white chalk, the letters in this world are very different from the ones I knew during my life on earth but that is no big deal since I have lived here for fifteen years. Hum hum, a small problem, after all if it is notated then my life experience is already thirty years in the form of ordinary girls hehe...

"My name is Stella Zwergstern. You can call me Stella's mother, from today I will be your homeroom teacher." Mother Stella said with a smile that her eyes swept across the classroom. "I am a teacher of magic theory and also a teacher of the history of weredragon magic. Oh yes and I would like to congratulate you new disciples, welcome to the Paradeisos of Dracus! One of the best magic academies in Hoffnungsstern. You must be wondering why there's no welcoming ceremony today?" Stella's mother asked us all.

Some of us nodded in agreement with Mother Stella's question while I just rolled my eyeballs, as if they did not find out first about the origins of culture in this school. However, I wanted to give a good initial impression to the class children, so I finally held my hand up and Miss Stella caught her attention to me.

"ah! You know why?" Mother Stella asked with a face that pretended to be surprised accompanied by a smile.

"Because of the 2586 incident, genocide by Dark Phobos." I answered casually, the class children all looked at me curiously whether my answer was correct or not. Or maybe they just found out?

"Yep! Aye! Because of the incident of the massacre of students during the rutinan ceremony. Since then the academy has mourned his loss and made a request for the abolition of the ceremony to the government..." Stella's mother was silent for a moment, she let out a long sigh while walking to the other side of the blackboard. "That's it, its history is long anyway. Then let's just start class today. Starting from the introductions, please start from the far right disciple." Mother Stella's orders to the student at the front desk on the right.

The few disciples who were still seeing me clapped their little hands for a while, the claps were not very audible because the disciple in front was busy mentioning his name, but a very audible clap was clearly coming from our table. The Alviria, the bespectacled man, the sweet girl next to this man and this man were looking at me fixedly while clapping her little hands.

The most severe clap was done by Alviria who was too excessive as if like 'Well cool! Cool!' until I was at a glance embarrassed to be as cool as he was plus this man continued to look at me with a stunned look, but not as good as it is great if you know the history of this school, hmph! Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!! He keeps looking at me! I was forced to throw my face to the right so as not to see him, my facial expression may look more awkward.

One by one the disciples introduced themselves, they came from various types of the weredragon race, but only a few did not wear gloves to easily identify the type of weredragon. For example, Alviria, he did not wear gloves so that the motif on his hands was a red flower that spread to his arm which indicated he was a fire weredragon. While I wear gloves to avoid too much unnecessary attention.

A few minutes passed and soon it was my turn, so far only six disciples were nobles due to the title in his name. Most of them were nobles who did not come from the floating island around here but I knew their standing was quite strong even though it was not a type of heavenly weredragon, I better not deal with one of them. It would be troublesome to have to argue with a boy who could only take refuge in his family's big name. Now it was my turn to introduce myself, I swiftly stood firm and looked straight at the blackboard. "Greetings, my name is Eril Von Draggrhurl. I'm fifteen years old. Graduates from Paradeisos Vasi. Please cooperate for this year!" I ended with a smile of pride for them. Most of them were only small claps, yet there were four noble disciples who seemed to put on an unhappy face towards me. They clapped their hands, while the two of them were very enthusiastic.

And once again... An overly noisy applause came from beside me... This Alviria was clapping really hard! While the man beside me looked at me with a gentle smile. I'm a little weird shaking, I feel like I've felt this before. A very familiar taste, gave me goosebumps. After the introduction, I was in a hurry to sit down.

Next the man beside me stood up and began to introduce himself with his loud voice. "Edwardian Weg hell's. Age fifteen. My house is in hell dam. Greetings to know everything." He said briefly, then turned to me for a moment to throw a thin smile, then sat back down.

The students applauded his introduction. For some reason it felt like Deja vu, I felt like I had experienced this with this man, Edwardian. I don't know why I've seen her smile more than once, but it's impossible, right? We just met now. Or is there really someone who looks like Edwardian in my old life? A coincidence? It is impossible if it turns out that he is also reincarnated like me?

I drifted into my uncontrollable mind, the more Edwardian did something the stronger this familiar feeling became. Could he be the guy I used to meet when shopping for parlors at the store but I always ignored him? Freaky... No way at all.

My heart is pounding, I don't know why it feels so weird. I cannot say that this feeling is not wearing, but I do not consider it a natural thing. The more I think the tighter the beat in my chest, the sooner... I think I can remember it soon... Another bit...

"Miss Dragdrhurl, right? You dropped your handkerchief." Edwardian broke my daydream, he stuck out his hand holding a cream-colored handkerchief with a knit my mother made. "Please be careful next time. Don't daydream, Stella's mom will start her lesson soon." Edwardian now pulled my left hand and opened my palm to give the handkerchief in my hand with a gentle smile. It turned out that the introductory session had ended earlier and Ms. Stella wrote something on the board.

I think I remember now... It seems like there used to be someone exactly the same as him. She is a student in an exchange program from Japan. His name also begins with Edward and he even does... Exactly the same as this...

Do not-don't.. He was the same Edward as Edward in my previous life!?

"Aa-a-thank you..." I stammered with Edwardian treatment similar to Edward in my old life. I pocketed my handkerchief without even glancing at his eyes. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! It feels so awful!!! My face was so hot that my heart was beating so fast, and it felt like I did not dare to look at her at all, BECAUSE SHE WAS NOW LOOKING AT ME FOR NO APPARENT REASON!

"Today we will learn the basic principles of magic theory. The lesson is the definition of which sense." Stella's mother luckily saved me from this awkwardness! Thank you, Miss Stella!

I now raised my head and took the stationery and book out of the bag and acted focused on the lesson so as not to make the impression that I was wrong because I was being watched by him. However, I secretly stole a glance at him, is he still looking at me or not?

Aaaaaa!!!! He still sees me! What's wrong with her??? Now I look as if I'm returning his gaze.

"To this day you may be a little backward to principles you may have learned in school before, but it is very important that misunderstandings do not occur." Said Stella's mother who finished writing on the blackboard, now she allowed her glasses. "Basically magic is a phenomenon that is influenced by a natural energy, this natural energy we commonly refer to as 'where'. Mana itself is one of the fundamental styles in this world." Now Stella's mother drew something like a ball and wrote down her description.

"Mana itself is divided into two types, namely null and einer. Magic works by applying these two types of mana according to their order. For example, if you want to apply fire magic. You have to insert this kind of mana into the magic circle mold that you have in mind." Stella's mother paused for a moment, then she opened her palm and slowly saw a pale blue magic line that shimmered weakly.

"This example, you must fill this magic mold in your mind in the order represented by mana. Suppose where the null is represented by this." Stella's mother put the null mana on the magic circle and the 'e' symbol was engraved.

"Then enter where einer." Then the 'p' symbol was engraved and the magic circle slightly turned hexagonal. "The next recruit you just have to enter mana null, then einer, and input null four more times. After that your magic circle print is ready, keep it well in your memory and every time you want to use fire magic, you just have to fill the null and einer in the right order." Said Bu Stella who removed her magic circle by snapping a finger so that a yellow fire splashed out small.

Hearing his explanation made me want to ask something to look like a student who was very enthusiastic about the lesson, I finally raised my hand to ask.

"What about the magic aids we used in the previous school? Though we usually don't use magic circles to fill the order of mana but we can still cast magic." The question I asked was just to be judged that this question was very weighty, being an active student was one of the right steps to keep people in disdain for me.

"ah! Good question Miss Draggrhurl. It's very basic but sometimes it's like to make people forget it." Ms. Stella clapped her hands slightly, she immediately picked up the chalk and quickly drew a wand that was commonly used as a tool to perform magic.

"As you can see here, most magic wands use small scrolls engraved by synthetic magic rings inserted into their sockets." Ms. Stella was so excited that she made three pictures of magic wand which in the first picture was just her wand, the second image is the contents of the stick which contains paper with some magic circles drawn and the third image is an illustration of arrows showing which flow will pass through the wand.

"The order of inserting mana null and einer was also designed in such a way for the students that they only need to drain anywhere and this magic wand will sort out which type to enter especially first in the desired magic sequence." So excited the chalk dust fell to the floor like rain and the whiteboard continued to sound loud until a little wrenching for us who heard it.

Jeez this teacher is so enthusiastic that he drew it you know, it seems that if judging from his appearance I can guess surely he just graduated from college and maybe this is his first year of teaching. It seems very happy to explain the knowledge he knows to us, yaa... I can say that because that's how I used to feel when explaining science to my sisters in the parlour, it feels so exciting to pass on an information they don't know, she said, but it's even more fun if they understand or even already know and are so enthusiastic to discuss it with me...

I feel like I miss those days... Especially Sara, my sister who is the fastest to respond to what I say... To the extent that he is self-taught to find out about it so that at another time when I want to convey it he already understands. We sometimes like to discuss science topics that I myself try to understand.

"According to mother's explanation, is it clear that Miss Dradrhurl?" Ask Ms. Stella who broke my daydream.

"Eh?- ah! I-iya ma'am! Thank you for answering my question." My answer was surprised at daydreaming from earlier.

"Well if so, please open your book. Mr. Weg hell, please share this book." Stella's mom appoints Edwardian to hand out the package book.

He then got out of his chair and advanced quickly. "Share half of it, because the book is heavy." Said Ms. Stella who gave one by one the book behind her desk, I did not realize there was a package book behind the table earlier.

"It doesn't matter Miss Stella, I can share everything one way." Said Edwardian who immediately piled up at once thirty books and relied on his chest as a pedestal to maintain the balance of the books.

I don't know anymore... He was very similar to Edward the exchange student. I remember that he did the same thing. However, that time distributed a baseball bat that weighed about 1.4 kg. Why is it that this feeling makes me believe that Edwardian and Edward are one and the same person? How could he have died, right?

Edwardian had almost distributed the package book evenly, then he was about to give the package book to me, but he turned and gave it to the girl beside him.

Huh uh?? How am I passing through? Huh uh??? What do you try to mean? He even had a chance to glance at me but deliberately turned and gave it to someone else! What the hell does he want?

Not that I was upset because the order of giving his book was skipped you know! But he must have deliberately mocked me, SURE! Is he still upset that I hit him earlier? Huhh... Very boyish of his attitude. It looks like a gentleman, but it's immature. Hmphc...

"Mom Stella. Sorry, the package book turns out there are only 29 books. How'this?" Edwardian holds the last book.

"Fuck? Though last night I had prepared a complete... Oh christ! I forgot, I should have prepared 31 books because I also need one. Tee-hee~" Stella said as she scratched her hair. Miss Stella's not very thorough, haizz... "I'm sorry Mr. Weg hell, if you don't mind sharing your book with Ms. Dradrhurl?"

Huh uh?? HUH!? Meaning!?

"No problem." Said Edwardian smiling at me and sitting on his stool.

Ehh? EHHH!? Waita minute! What does that mean! I don't want to share the same package book with this shitty guy! Obviously I should have gotten the package book. Argha!

"It seems that in this lesson session we will share with each other, please help. Eril." Said Edwardian who had now sat down and opened his book for me.

"O-okay..." I replied with an awkward smile that was filled with a million OBJECTIONS THAT I COULD NOT SHOW!

"OKAY? What'sthat?" Edwardian asked who tilted his eyebrows confused by my vocabulary.

Ah shit! I miss saying a word from my old world! "It's none of your business." I ventured to reject her question in a haughty tone accompanied by a sharp look at her to let her know that I had no intention of familiarizing myself with her, hmph!

"Ahaha... So yeah. All right I'm not gonna force." Reply with a small laugh while opening the book for me.

Ughhhh... What the fuck try? What the hell does he want? But why does it feel like my heart is running? Why does my face feel warm? Ah... Aaa-... I turned my eyes in the other direction, why don't I dare to return her gaze? It feels like I'm not just me! What the hell is with this guy!? Argh!!!
