After dismissing Sylvia, Zephyr made his way to the 1-A classroom. The halls were lit up with the buzzing energy of the students and staff members. Even some of the relatives were excited about the term. But not Zephyr, for he had a task. A task that could determine the existence of the entire kingdom of Veridion.
*****
Two large wooden doors stood in front of Zephyr. On one of the doors, 'Class 1-A' was written in bold characters.
Zephyr pushed open the door, his bag strapped to one of his shoulders.
Inside the classroom, there were many students wearing the uniform of Veridion Academy. Some were talking with each other while others were preparing their books.
As Zephyr stepped into the classroom, the students shifted their gazes at Zephyr. They recognized him as the student who summoned an unrecognizable dragon as his familiar.
Zephyr ignored their gazes and walked to the back of the classroom. He pulled out a chair and sat down on it, acting like the students did not exist.
"Lysandra," a feminine voice spoke to the princess who was also in Zephyr's class. "What do you think about that boy?"
Lysandra looked at Zephyr, who was reaching into his bag. Her eyes narrowed, and she looked back at the girl.
"He looks plain to me," the girl nodded.
After a while...
The doors of the classroom opened, and a woman walked in.
The woman had jet black hair and reddish orange colored eyes. She wore a short black skirt and a black coat over a white shirt.
"Good morning, class." the woman spoke, her voice hinting at maturity. "I am Shizue Akane. I will be your homeroom teacher and the instructor in charge of Magic Casting, I do hope all of you will put effort into your studies, and let's begin!"
Some of the students hurried to their seats as the students already seated pulled out their books.
"So before we begin, let us introduce ourselves," Miss Shizue said. She looked directly at the boy sitting in front and signalled at the boy to introduce himself.
He stood up, clearing his throat.
"Hi everybody! My name is Tokito Haruto, im from the Falgaron kingdom of the west. I hope we can study together, peacefully!" He smiled at the rest of the students, his turquoise colored hair and eyes gleaming.
The rest of the students began clapping at Tokito's introduction.
The rest of the students introduced themselves, trying to sound as charming as Tokito by explaining about their likes, dislikes, and so on.
Finally, Zephyr's introduction turned around. Zephyr stood up from his seat, silencing the entire class instantly. He cleared his throat and began his introduction while wearing a neutral expression.
"Hello everyone, my name is Zephyr Von Valor. I was born here in the kingdom of Veridion and have been living here since birth," Zephyr said. He prepared to sit down when a girl's hand shot up.
"U-um... excuse me, but how are you related to the headmistress, Miss Nemona Von Valor?" She asked, standing up from her seat.
This time, even the teacher was intrigued. Even she didn't know how this nobody was related to one of the greatest mages of all time.
"We aren't. It's just a baseless rumour someone started because of the close sounding surnames," Zephur answered, his answer stiff and dominant.
He finally sat down, and the rest of the class shifted their gazes from Zephur to the teacher.
"Alright," she began. "Let's begin our classes."
