Prologue : Part 1 (Magic School Arc)

I die...

blup blup blup (the sound of water)....

Died in the lake huh?.... Isn't that very dramatic..?

So this is what we call death...

Ah.. I shouldn't have followed this..

If I could go back in time and change everything...

Drachoid Oz... that's my name. I'm 12 years old now. My parents have been gone since I was 6 years old, which means I am alone. That's what my guarantor said. I sometimes feel sad when I think about my parents not being around, but still, I have to be strong and not be a crybaby like other kids.

As I said earlier, I have a guarantor. Her name is Syeilendar Eva. My guarantor is the principal and founder of a famous school of magic called Syeilendar. She is an old blonde woman who is 580 years old with a youthful face. Age is average for a wizard, but usually, wizards when they are over 400 years old, will look even slightly wrinkled on their faces. I often peeked at it while doing magic, and at that time, I fell in love with magic and wanted to learn it too.

When I wanted her to teach me magic, she refused because magic should only be learned when I was 12 and accepted into a magic school. I was a little disappointed but had no other choice but to wait. To fill my free time, I read books in the library of my guarantor. From history, Magic Scient and so on. But when I wanted to touch the book on magic chants, I couldn't open it. She would immediately hit my hand with a stick when she was about to touch the book. When I'm feeling bored, I fill my free time with physical exercise. Because I think I can create new magic from physical training. But still, it is just wishful thinking.

That's the story of my life, and now I'm finally 12 years old. I've been admitted to the wizarding school as promised by my guardian. I'm currently stepping on the transportation stop to Syeilendar magic school. The transportation to the school is a royal carriage with horses with wings. The horse is of the Kalë fluturues race, where the race is descended from unicorns that mate with winged animals. There is a theory that says this is the Pegasus owned by the inventor of magic, but there are also those who argue with a theory that makes sense too.

Tock.... Tock.... Tock... Tock (sound of footsteps on my left)

I direct my gaze to the left. A kid like the same ag as me was standing beside me, probably waiting for transportation to the magic school. His hair is white, and his eyes are black. I thought the style he wore today was cool, so I accidentally said " cool " to him.

I covered my mouth because I was embarrassed to say that. The guy immediately looked at me and said "Excuse me?"he said, looking at me and smiling.

Maybe his smile was fake because his facial expression was like a forced smile, or you could say royalty.

(Did I make him angry?)

"Ah-I'm sorry, I just think your style today is very cool" I said in a slightly awkward tone.

(What did I say, you idiot!!?)

And he immediately replied, "It doesn't mean I want to destroy your expectations anyway, my style is originally from my parents" he said while returning his face while facing down and smiling.

(That makes it cool)

"Oh... So that's your real hair. I thought you deliberately styled it that way" I said while getting closer to him.

(matey)

I also ventured to introduce myself "I am Drachoid Oz. Nice to meet you" I said.

"Platina cheilos, nice to meet you to, Mr. Drachoid" he said, and we shook hands.

"Don't need a last name. I don't mind how come you call me by my first name" I said.

"Then call me by my first name too, Oz" he said.

"So, Cheilos… are you also going to participate in the selection to enter the magic school?" I said.

"Why do you ask that?" said Cheilos

"Can you be my senior, You Know?" I said

"No, I'm not your senior. I also want to take part in the selection. Besides, from what you can see from my uniform, I don't have an emblem on my shirt and robe. And also, yes... Surely there's nothing more proud than attending the best magic school?" .

Cheilos said that one who had become a student at a wizarding school would have the House Crest on his clothes and robes. The existence of the emblem serves to find out which student is from which dormitory. This school of magic requires its students to live in a dormitory. The dormitories are grouped into 4: Dragon, Pegasus, Feather, and Owl. The appearance of the emblem corresponds to the name of each dormitory.

After Cheilos said that, I spontaneously took his hand and held it.

"Yeah, that's true I also think like that!! "I said while making a happy face to him.

(Hooray!!! I got a friend)

"Can you take your hand off mine?" he said with a smile of nobility.

"ah.. I'm sorry" I said

In between my conversation with Cheilos, there was a red-haired girl with long red hair behind me while interrupting my conversation with Cheilos. The girl said.

"Cheilos... why are you bothering to take the public train?, even though my father was already excited about riding us with his carriage," said the woman in a lazy tone.

"How could I want to take the train, don't ask questions you already know the answer to Vanessa," said Cheilos, glancing at the woman.

Then I interrupted their conversation by saying.

"Cheilos.. Is the girl behind you is your friend?" I said.

"Friend? We are not friend, only our families know each other, you know?" said Cheilos.

"Oh.. I see.." I said

Then I looked at the girl saying.

"I'm Drachoid Oz. Nice to meet you" I said while extending my hand towards the girl.

"Drachoid? An unfamiliar family name huh" she said.

"Don't blame me. After all, I didn't want to be born to my parents, right?" I said jokingly.

"I'm Vanessa, nice to meet you too" she said while taking my hand to shake.

(No surname, right?)

After I shook hands with Vanessa, the carriage finally came. Me, Cheilos and Vanessa got into the carriage. A few minutes later, the horse ran while carrying the carriage to the end of the cliff where the transportation was taking out its wings. Finally, the carriage flew away. I opened the window so that the carriage would be very cool, and the view is also very good from above, I can see the city, Death forest, village, etc. We talked in the carriage until we didn't feel that the carriage we were riding had arrived at the Syeilendar magic school. We got out of the carriage and looked around. The shape of this school is that of a castle, and around it there are many people like us taking the entrance test, maybe more than 50 to 100 people. They all have magic equipment, and Cheilos and Vanessa are no exceptions who carry their magic wands.

(Why are they all carrying magic equipment? Even though the exam is just a written exam)

As we took our exam numbers in the hall, I approached a different room and waved at them.

"See you later!" I said

"Sure," said Cheilos

I immediately went to the exam room.

As Oz heads to his exam room Cheilos and Vanessa look at Oz, and Vanessa rolls her eyes at Oz. Instantly her red pupils let out a light that filled her pupils, and when her closed her eyes and opened them again, they had stopped shining and returned to normal. After that, Vanessa made an evil face and smiled.

"Without Mana!? A spy…?" Vanessa said with an evil face and smiled.

Then she looked at Cheilos while maintaining her expression and said.

"Are you now a traitor to, Platina Cheilos?" said Vanessa.

Cheilos felt a little threatened after Vanessa said that to him, but Cheilos didn't show a scared face instead, he also smiled while looking at Vanessa and said

"Stupid conclusion, how could I want to betray my family" said Cheilos

Vanessa narrowed her eyes slightly while looking at Cheilos and said

"Yeah.. Of course, How could Cheilos betray his father" Vanessa said with a smiling expression and patted Cheilos's back with his hand

"Stop it!" said Cheilos, who didn't like his back being patted

Cheilos was a bit bothered by Vanessa when she said that.
