Recruitment

In the boy's locker room, Aoto is talking with his friends while changing into their P.E. attire.

A white T-shirt and red pajamas.

At this moment, he learned what is his status from his classmates.

Including himself, it seems that he belongs to this group of weirdos that consists of a monkey-looking student, a bald head student who looks like a monk, a super duper normal student, and a harmless masochist pervert.

There's still suspicion about the harmless part but until now, he didn't do something out of the line that's why they are still including this bastard.

If not for his pervertedness, girls might court him to be their boyfriend.

Anyway, we're not gonna talk about that.

Looking at the mirror, he couldn't help but be disappointed with his skinny body.

Based on his estimation, his height must be 175 cm or below but what matters right now is his little brother.

When he uses a ruler earlier in the bathroom, its length is only 4.6 Inches.

Four centimeters to go but heaven is really unfair.

Despite being disappointed in the length of his little brother, the width is very applaudable with a measurement of 2.5 inches.

Truly, an applaudable monster.

Well, enough with his dig bick.

…

Inside the battle arena.

A mage knight instructor is currently giving a speech while 3 teachers are behind him.

"Obviously, most of the students here can't manifest their soul weaponry but it doesn't mean that we, the teachers, are giving up. Most students here might choose the general education because they wanted to go to college but it doesn't mean that we will be stagnant in normal subjects. The main reason why this Mage Knight school is built is to find talent. That's why today, we're gonna give a chance to some talented students to get transferee to Mage knight Department."

Hearing this, some students couldn't help but get excited.

All humans can manifest their souls into weaponry but not all can maintain their form.

Seeing how excited his students were, the instructor immediately announce the start of their recruitment.

With the three teachers, the instructor hoped that he could meet a talent or even just a rough diamond.

They decided to call the student one by one and now, the first student is on the stage while others sit in the bench area.

"Imagine…"

A woman is closing her eyes but no soul weapon came out.

"Next!"

The instructor said.

"Oh, my flames. Hear my prayers and let me feel the burn of your desire! El Magna!"

"Oh!"

The surprised cheer of the crowd.

However, the student couldn't maintain it's form.

"Next!"

While the recruitment is ongoing, we're gonna discuss the details about being a blazer.

To manifest soul weaponry, they could use a chant (or command) or their imagination.

It depends on where a user is comfortable.

However, to maintain its form, they need to have good control of their mana.

For students who are in the mage knight department, they could control their mana easily even though no one teaches them.

Meanwhile, the general education department needs to teach their students every day until someone can freely do it.

After all, Hagun Academy is a school for mage knights and other departments are just additional to make this look like a proper school.

…

"Ayatsuji Ayase"

The instructor called.

"Yes."

She replied as she stood up.

(A/N: For Aoto's appearance, just imagine the long haired Kirito.)
