Purity Online - The World For The Fallens
Day 4-5: First Day at the Magic Academy
Two days after the conversation between Ryugai and Otomura ....
The sun has not been up long. The bluish color has just extinguished the reddish color at dawn. Ryugai stood while staring at the gigantic building standing firmly before him. It looked quite majestic with similarly-tuned youths passing by in the courtyard. He had successfully passed the entrance test of the Zanz Magic Academy yesterday. For him, those things aren't too difficult. Of course, because he had learned desperately the night before. After all, in fact, Ryugai was a child who was quite accomplished, both in lessons and sports. Ah, ja. In accordance with his work, Ryugai chose the Magic Hunt and Fight Technique class.
"Here we go. My first day of school" he said. "I hope there's no seniority, bullying, or anything like that here. If it's not wrong ..., in yesterday's class division ..., I got HBM (Hunt and Battle Magic) Class 2-A, huh? Alright. No need to linger. The bell goes in the hunt."
Ryugai rushed through the gate, across the hall, up the stairs, then into his class and sat on an empty bench. For some reason, the young man felt awkward and marginalized as soon as he saw the students who were engrossed in joking fun, whereas he looked like an anti-social student.
"Why am I being so awkward? This is just school in the game!! Maybe because I never socialized on my run to reduce the chances of getting caught by the police. Ah, nevermind. Let it look cool, you little bitch."
"sorry. Does anyone have this seat?" Ryugai poked the shoulder of the glasses-haired old student who was sitting in front of him.
"uh? Not yet, really," he said, looking back. "It's empty there. Eh? You're the new kid, huh?"
"Dam. He asked me. What do I have to answer?"
"'Yes!! I just got in today, bro!! Greetings. I'm Ryugai!! Yo!!' Ah, naw. I'll be considered a slang. 'Yes, right. My name is Ryugai.' Wait, what the hell is that?! So formal!!! I think people want to apply for work!! 'I'm Ryugai. Greetings.' If I say that with a flat face .... No, ah. I will be considered arrogant. God fucking. This is just school in the game!! Why am I so confused just because I think of a greeting? Has my communication skills been lost because I shut myself out of the outside world during the escape period?"
"Haloo's? You okay?" said the student while swinging his hands in front of Ryugai's face, intending to wake the student from his daydream.
"Yes, I'm fine" Ryugai said. "Include me, my name is Ryugai. I just got in today."
"Oh, yeah. Hopefully at home. My name is Arai Yuzumatsu" said the young man named Arai as he extended his hand and smiled kindly. Ryugai welcomed the helping hand with a friendly smile also etched on his face.
"uh? New student, huh?" said a dark-black-haired disciple who was in a disheveled style while putting on an intimidating look. "You can be a good new slave."
"Hey, don't behave like that to a new friend" Arai said.
"Who will end up in the hospital? Me and him, or you?" ryugai asked with a defiant look. He took a pen from his pencil box.
"Of course you guys. You think you can win against me?" said the black-haired disciple with an annoying facial expression. "Hey, new boy. You must have just entered the academy. You haven't mastered magic, have you? Our levels are much different. Don't expect you to win. Don't style it, or you'll feel the consequences!!"
"Who will feel the consequences?" Ryugai.
The young man went straight up. His right hand was tightly clenched. Dark energy gathered and enveloped the fist. "Bad!!! You're challenging me?!" he snapped while launching a black dragon-shaped fist. As fast as lightning, Ryugai dodged until the fist hit the windowpanes and broke them. With an incredible speed of movement, the blue-haired youth swept the disciple's legs until he fell down and locked his entire limbs. He placed the sharp end of his pen on the neck of the black-haired disciple. The murderous Eve radiated strongly from the look in her eyes.
"If your entire limbs are locked up like this, you can't take out the dragon of darkness again, can you? I'm warning you, if this is a knife, I can kill you right now. Therefore, don't mess around in this class."
Ryugai released his lock on the young man's body, then sat down in his chair and put his pen back in the pencil case. Meanwhile, the entire class along with the dark-black-haired students were only able to stay glued to their place. The entrance bell rang, making all students and students immediately occupy their respective benches.
"Dad, mother, sister ...."
"Finally ..., I found the right use for my talent and expertise ...."
"It is not to take the lives of others and separate people from their dear family and friends ...."
"Play ..., to uphold justice ...."
"Not just justice for myself ...."
"Play ..., actual justice ...."
