TN: This officially marks the beginning of the Academy Arc! And the beginning of Missing-Chiffon symptoms.
And I’m changing the writing into somewhat present tense.. Maybe. I don’t know.
The school buildings in Phillis Academy are all made out of thick, solid stone and looks like castles build in mid-Europe-ish.
Along the dim corridor, students dressed in the same uniform are being led by Upper Classman, a scene familiar to a certain magic academy.
Mah, regrettably, this is not a magic academy where only the chosen attend but anyone in the country due for compulsory education. Regardless, I still feel excited.
And why wouldn’t I be?
This marks the start of the long awaited school life that I had yearned for.
” You looks so happy, Will. ”
I was laughed by Zen. Now is not the time to be laughing at me! Children that had just been born not long ago might not know it but compulsory education is a wonderful thing! It might be because he had not been to other worlds but thinking about magic lesson had already made me so excited that I feel like dancing!
Ah… I cannot say my true feelings out loud so I just gave a vague smile as a reply.
” I am just looking forward to the dormitory life. ”
” Eh? Really? Will too? I am living in a dorm too! ”
Delighted Zen was baited into the conversation. Then, ahead of us, a loud booming voice was heard.
” We have reached your classroom! Don’t fight! Bye then! ”
Who will fight on their first day in school… Energetic till the end, the Upper Classman left coolly without any self-introduction.
Don’t run along the corridor…
I yelled in my heart as I started at his distant figure before entering the classroom.
It had a large wooden door that look imposing. You can feel the history of the academy from the darkish stone buildings paired with this kind of doors. Once entered, the very first thing that I noticed is..
” Oh, long desks. ”
I murmured without thinking. Long desks lined up and cramped into the classroom…Just like the Showa Era. [TN: 1926 – 1989, he just meant it looks old-ish since most school in japan use single desks now.]
A blackboard that was properly black, sits at the front of the classroom with the side walls curved in, in a circular shape. Just standing in the classroom makes my thrill-meter shoot straight up.
Looking around, everyone is curious at seeing a classroom for the first time and is chatting among each other. It would be a good idea to sit down before I attract their interest in me skipping grades.
Free seating is written on the blackboard. Aren’t we supposed to learn how to read in this school? I bit back on my retort and take a seat. Following my lead, Zen sat down beside me. Then it seem like mass psychology take place as my classmates begin to shuffle to their seats.
The classroom is buzzing with light chatter but none of it seem to be negative so I am relief that I am not attracting attention.
….I am so glad that there is no bratty noble son in this class. Really glad.
” Hey Zen, is there any meaning to the groups colors? ”
Since the teacher is not here yet, I decided to get some answers to the question that had been on my mind.
” Ah, yes there is. ”
” ….. As expected. ”
There isn’t. I am just about to answer Zen before stopping mid-sentence and look at him.
” ….. There is? ”
” Eh? I heard that there is though… ”
Zen is shocked as well.
” Ah, no, I mean.. ”
I had thought that there is a meaning behind the colors but never had I thought Zen would know the answer to it. In this situation, it is best to smile and pretend nothing happened.
” ……Okay. The colors represent the different magic attributes. ”
” Attributes? ”
” Yep. The usual ones. Red is fire, blue is water, green is earth and our class, white, is wind. ”
” I see! ”
Surprised by his knowledge, I praised Zen, who broke into a wide smile. I too, begin smiling and then, the door open with a great force.
” Ah, everyone is here! ”
The one standing energetically in front the door is Mr Gori-Macho. Clomp clomp clomp, he walk in big steps. Where is the well-mannered man from the entrance ceremony go to? All I can see now is someone who is walking exaggeratedly.
In no time, he reached the middle room and look at us, grinning.
” I am glad everyone is sitting down nicely. ”
Nodding his head pretentiously made him look effeminate. When he looks to be done with his nodding, he snap his head up and shouted. Ah, he most probably is not shouting. He must be that, the kind of person who have an irritating loud voice.
” O-kay, let us start with self introduction! ”
Game Over.
A commotion stir up within the classroom.
…Oh… A common practice for a new class. So common that it totally slip my mind.
Well then, this is worrying. What should I say?
Self introduction is something that one will always fret over, even if I am already 25. Plus what about my name? About my attribute? I have a mountain of secrets that I cannot reveal.
And when I am worrying about it, Mr Gori-Macho seems to be preparing something. Hm? He is looking at me.
The corner of my mouth raises naturally. ….Oh, stop doing amusing things, Mr Gori-macho.
” Firstly… ”
As he strains himself, a ball of fire appear with a ‘PON’ right in front of his hand.
” My name is Zelda! ” [TN: Saru-da]
No, you should be a gorilla.
[TN: Saru means monkey in japanese so Will is saying he looks more like a gorilla. Check his picture.]
As I calmly retorted, the eyes around me shines with a sparkle.
The fire in front of Mr Gori-macho…. Zelda Sensei, is spelling out his name.
” As you can see, my attribute is fire. Fired up primary level teacher, who will be in-charge of this class! ”
The feel of a Hot-Blooded teacher. Even his attitude is fired up. Amused, I smiled wryly as the energetic Zelda Sensei take control and the class self-introduction starts.
◆
And when the last student sat down, Sensei claps his hands, leading a round of applause. His energy seem to have spread around the classroom and when all the clapping and cheering dwindled, Sensei speaks up again.
” So, that’s it for today. There would be a body check up tomorrow so for those staying in dormitory, don’t be late just because you are not used to it and can’t sleep. ”
With that, Zelda Sensei walk out the same way he walked in. Then, all of a sudden, the classroom is in a buzz. Conversations between girls sitting opposite of me can be heard.
” Oh no~ I gained weight~! ”
” Eh~ You don’t look like it though~? ”
Are they really 10? Even though I suspected them, no matter the worlds, girls will still be girls.
” …….Ah, but Will, even though it was a self-introduction, you did not gave your real name. ”
As we are walking down the corridor together, Zen thought back and laughed.
” It is my real name. Just not all of it. ”
I laughed too.
” Ah no, I thought that Nobles love showing off their names, that’s why. Will is really one of a kind. ”
Zen laughed, looking like he is enjoying himself. I have a feeling that something rude had just been said but since we are having fun, I let it slide.
The attribute question which I was worried over was not even asked. Thinking back, everyone had just entered school and is about to start studying magic, of course we would not know what our attribute is.
And yes, at my self-introduction, I had gave my name as ‘Will’ only. I don’t want them to distance themselves away. Saying that, I haven’t memorized all of their faces and names.
Oh well, it all starts now~ Now~!
” Oh…it’s around this corner… ”
Following the map passed to us in the classroom, we begin walking over to the White Team’s dormitory. But this school is really ridiculously huge. And since they used have a boarding school system, it is now left with a lot of empty rooms.
” …..Oh. ”
” …..Wah! ”
Turning around the corner, we both raises our voices. By the way, I was the one who spoke first.
The first thing that entered our vision is a large white door. It seems to be made out of one solid marble slab and reaches all the way to the ceiling. Amazing. It is undeniably amazing but….
Zen seems to be at awe at something completely different.
” ――――《風》? ” [TN: Kaze, Wind]
A large magic circle is craved onto the door.
Due to me murmuring instinctively upon seeing the word, the door begin to opening slowly.
◆◆◆
AN: The story can’t seem to proceed…. Only Gori-Macho appeared.
Oh well, I shall follow the flow as I write. (laughs)
TN: Sorry about that, the author had been calling Mr Macho, Gori-Macho, but I found that a bit difficult to translate so I left it as Mr Macho. Now you know.
