Lea, The Story of the Magus of the Casiopea Continent
The Virgo City Academy

  I don't know why Mr. Shaakir could appear on such deserted streets, and by chance and unexpectedly, he met this frightened me.

Mr. Shaakir just explained this was a coincidence. His story tells that upon his return to the Military Academy, a renowned healer treated and re-stitched the wound on his chest. Wounds due to such magic weapons, generally can only be treated by Healer using magic stitching techniques as well.

   That's why he's Mr. Shaakir very quickly looks healed. From the story of Mr. Shaakir, he said that two hooded people who fought with him in the past, are now participating in hunting him to this Virgo City. That's why when Mr. Shaakir recovered, he went on a night patrol looking for the three vampires I named the dracula. Lucky for me, he met me.

"I-I met the person I thought was the same person tearing your chest, Mr. Shaakir" I said stammering, complaining.

   I even said my guess that the man was a dracula as portrayed by the old people, ever since I was a child. But Mr. Shaakir said that the group of men were vampires. 

"Lea, they're a vampire race. Not draculla. Dracula is the name of one vampire whose story became a legend in the western world" Old Shaakir told me.

   I'm just saying yes, because in my shadow, vampires or dracules, it's the same thing. Two-two groups of bloodsuckers. But I did not express my opinion, because I was just a layman. Different things with Mr. Shaakir, who is a lecturer at the military academy.

******

   I entered my room at the Military Academy after Mr. Shaakir took me to that place and reported in the administration, that I was one of the references recruited in Scorpio City. The officer then gave me the akadmi uniform, a kind of red short jacket, embroidered in a painting of the military academy, and also the Virgo logo.

   Of course, as an academy student who enters the academy without taking any rigorous tests - just based on special references, like me for example, I don't have to pay the academy fees monthly.

   I even earned a salary from the academy of five pieces of copper each month. This is a sizeable sum to me, compared to my simple life in Scorpio City there. In Scorpio City, I have to be willing to be in makeup and fumbled by a striped man, then I will get a bronze coin tip.

(Lock later on, I'll laugh seeing low-value money like those five pieces of silver)

Back to the academy registration section...

   According to the administration, our pay would be even higher, if in undergoing this training, we take on the completion mission that the academy provides. Elixir is the highest payment, which is usually obtained by the Knights or Magi in the Casiopea Continent (i only found out about this elixir currency after being in this academy).

   Because I have a talent as a firebender or called elementalist by Mr. Shaakir, I was enrolled in an additional class specifically for Magi (Magus is a term for humans who live life as witches)

   Together with the other two girls, I was placed in one of the simple rooms in the academy dormitory. The two girls who roomed with me were Yasmin, a girl from Taurus Province and Salome from Gemini Province. While exchanging stories in the room, I learned that the two of them entered the academy on scholarships from Gemini Province and Taurus Province.

   From their stories, I deduced that the two of them were martial arts experts using sword weapons. Yasmin has been practicing martial arts with a sword since she was six years old.

   Salome is a girl from a noble family. As a noble family that always attached importance to the existence of a knight in the family, Salome was one of the geniuses who was talented to become a knight.

   I was speechless to hear the stories of the two of them who were proud of their combat abilities being trained from an early age. In my heart, I am very discouraged because I am truly a layman in this training.

"You don't have to be sad. You even have a talent as a magus - a fire summoning elementalist" Salome and Yasmin comforted me.

Seriate.
