Prologue!

Magic.

Once only a myth of fairytales and old stories, now have become a proven reality. Technological advancement and countless thesis observations have finally given humanity a new face.

To deeply understand the thing mentioned topmost, one has to peek at its origin. The root from where magic was first discovered.

Back in AD 1999, a group of officers used some 'special powers', to stop nuclear terror which was spread by a fanatic group who just desired to bring the end of humanity. That was the first time when a normal mortal came into the light of something inhumane.

Initially, these 'special powers', were treated as innate skills which could only be inherited by mutated humans only. The chance of spreading this power among the masses seemed impossible through any kind of technique in reach.

But as time passed, the Eastern and Western countries made progress on the particular subject before the possibility of impaling magic on non-chosen humans started seeming plausible. It was that time when the word 'Magic' was introduced to the general public.

However, to inject one with this unbelievable phenomenon something was required, that was the natural aptitude of the concerned person. Aptitude was needed to be high to accept and adapt to magic like the scientist with a great mind in science and athletes with excellent work on the track, one has to be the best in at least one field.

The 'Special Power' soon became technological systemized and magic became the technical skill required to access the system. And with this, the 'Special Power User', gradually changed into 'Magic Technician.

(A/N: If you are confused then comment here...I will explain it in simpler language.)

A specialized and trained 'Magic Technician', became capable to suppress nuclear weapons before they could even reach their destination.

At the end of the 21st century, i.e 2095, the various nation around the globe which were far from unified, got focused more and more on nurturing these extraordinary humans for some quite decent reason.

The first high school is affiliated with the National University of Magic. The said high school gift the general populace with a vast amount of powerful and talented magicians each year.

At the same time, the elite school despite providing so many facilities doesn't think anything of a partial teaching approach toward its students.

The country doesn't have the freedom to do so...

The most talented would be treated better and nurtured better was something one couldn't debate upon. It would be purely childish.

Thoroughly talent-driven.

Harsh competence oriented.

That's the world of Magic.

School only starts after the enrollment of elites of the elite and upon enrolling they get grouped into two. One upper class, the high rankers. And the lower one who despite getting enrolled in the academy couldn't reach the top.

Even though two are freshmen, they don't have to be equal.

That same goes for friends, acquaintances as well blood-related siblings too...

_______...______

"I cannot accept this!"

"You are still on that topic..."

Today was the entrance ceremony of the first high school but the verbal banter was happening early in the morning, almost two hours before the ceremony.

Today the freshmen student, whose hearts were filled with anticipation and hope for their future prospectus along with their javelin parents, would gather at the same place for the commencement of the first year.

Standing in front of the auditorium where the ceremony would be attended in less than 2 hours, could be seen a couple, being in a verbal disagreement.

They both were freshmen and were personally affiliated too, yet their new uniforms were visibly distinct in design. It is not about the basic difference between men's and women's attire but something else.

On either side of the man's shoulder cup could be seen eight petal flower designs which the female doesn't carry on any part of her uniform.

"I don't understand, Hime. Why am I the freshman representative when it should be you? Typically speaking, you scored the highest on the test yet you were put in the lower section! It's truly unfair!"

"Ah, Nii-sama even you say that...this is a Magic school, so it's obvious that the board would focus more on practical assessment rather than written tests, right?" With a sigh, the girl continued.

"Nii-sama, you are well aware of my practical skill and up to what is my reach. I am quite surprised that I got accepted into the second course."

From what one could perceive from the scene, the man was flashing out at the officials of the school with some serious sharp tongued remark. The girl was clearly trying to soothe the guy which she regards, as 'Nii-sama', signifying their relationship as siblings.

Even being in such close relation, they don't resemble each other at all.

On one hand, the charisma of the male was extremely high to the point where people of the same gender would also look at him with awe, not to talk about ut opposite sex. Standing at a height of 186cm of height, his build was something people desire to attain. Even in the uniform the stern stature he holds, couldn't get unnoticed. His eyes excluded the aura of nobility, a true prince. Dark blue eyes adorned with perfect facial features did define why the man got so many requests for marriage at such young age.

On the other hand, the woman who basically was the little sister in the couple was a little above than average from an appearance perspective. Her raven hair was braided firmly at her back with her small yet charming stone blue eyes. She wasnt someone whome people notice in a crowd however once anyone looks at her, the impression doesn't leave their mind for a while.

"How can you say this Hime? I dare to say that no one in the entire school can match your theoretical knowledge and could hold their ground if it's taijutsu! Even for magic-" As the man was about to continue his complaint a serene yet stern voice resounded around the two.

"Nii-sama!" Hearing her word the boy halted his train of protest with a huff. He could handle anything in the world but not his sister's being angry with him. He couldn't just see her like this, but it doesn't mean his anger has been subdued. If not for his sister he might have frozen the whole school frozen to death.

"You understand right? Even you say that it can't be helped." The taller one finally felt defeated as he exhaled deeply before a whisper left his thin lips.

"...I am sorry, Hime."

The girl saw her brother's pitiful expression at which her heart melted. Something which only this person could make her feel. She slowly stepped forward and held the big yet firm hand of her brother which he was clutching for some time.

'Now what I could do to make him feel good...' At the thought of it, the younger one brought the hand kf her brother toward her left cheek, as she bent her face toward it.

The boy instinctively welcomes the touch of his most beloved person and lets her skin interact with his palm.

"I am thankful when you get angry instead of me. I always feel saved whenever you show such impulse when I couldn't."

The guy already started rubbing the tender cheek of his beloved which seemed no less than tofu and invited him to bite on it.

But holding back he again whispered in a grumpy tone," Liar..."

"I am not lying, dear brother."

"But despite me being the older, you always scold me..." She found it amusing how even being so strong and gentle at the same time, her brother could be so childish sometimes.

"I said, I am not lying Nii-sama. I also hold in my thoughts as you do about me." Suddenly the hand caressing her cheek halted as the ears of the man started turning red with a burning sensation.

"...Tsuya hold me in her thoughts.." It was a rare sight of her cold big brother blushing like a teenager which she found thoroughly adorable but to not hurt his dignity, she wouldn't point it out.

"And not to mention, even if you back out now it's highly not possible for me to get selected as the representative. And I would surely don't want to see a blemish on my big brother's image at any cost."

Feeling defeated a soft cry left the man's lips, "But Hime...

"No buts, nii-sama and I am also looking forward to your speech. So show this worthless sister of yours some of the glorious moments of your life." Upon hearing the man immediately turned stiff.

"You are not worthless Tsuya...Well, I understand what you are trying to convey so I apologize for being willful."

"I never thought this matter as wilful Nii-sama, so please raise your head." With a smile, the boy realized that it was time for him to report to the committee's official so with regret filled im his heart he bid his farewell.

"Okay then Tsuya, I will be taking my leave now. Please look forward to my speech."

"Hmm. I will be sure to capture every moment in my mind so give it your all Nii-sama."

"By all means Imouto. Okay, then see you later." After a gentle kiss on her forehead, the big brother left her side and disappeared inside the auditorium.

After the retreating figure completely vanished from the raven-haired girl, she sighed in relief.

'Now what should I do...'

Since her big brother was selected as the freshmen representative, albeit reluctantly, he had to come early for speech rehearsal, and naturally as her 'bodyguard' and sincere sister, Tsuya also had to come with him in the morning. But the question was, what she was supposed to do to spend the next hour...
