Enrollment (6)
"stop right there!"
a strong willed voice that Mars didn't recognize sounded out in the cafeteria but Mars ignored it and kept walking
"I told you to stop!"
a soft hand grabbed Mars but he shock it off before he kicked off the ground and activated [Instant movement] and reappeared a few meters ahead before he continued calmly walking towards the exit
"last warning, stop right there!"
Mars finely paused and stopped, before he turned around with a oddly calm smile on his face as he inspected the one that had called out to him and saw it was a girl about 16 years old, she had fiery red hair that was set in two twin tails on the side of her head, she had orange eyes and was clad in a academy uniform
"what?"
the girl got visibly irritated by Mars's short question and flared up
"you! don't you know it's against the rules to bring beasts into the cafeteria?"
"no I did not, now if will excuse me"
"YOU! stop right there!"
"what?"
seeing Mars' attitude was still indifferent the girl got even more enraged
"you have to pay a fine, follow after me"
"why?"
"BECAUSE. I. SAY. SO!"
the air around the girl started to get hot as her mana started to get active
"...meh I don't want to"
"YOU!!! FINE DON'T BLAME ME THEN!"
the girl pulled out a wand before she summoned a fire lance witch pointed at Mars
"...fire eh"
Mars was unmoved by the fire lance and stood still as it was hurled towards him by the enraged girl
'it would be a pain if my clothes got burnt, but I can't just doge it or else the cafeteria is going to be set on fire...'
Mars thought for a moment before he thrust his hand out to meet the fire lance before he simply grabbed it and snuffed it out with his bare hand and looked at the stunned girl with a slight smile on his face
"that was rude"
Mars activated [Instant movement] and disappeared before he reappeared right in front of the girl and
"OUCH!"
poked her forehead leaving behind a red mark on her skin
"you know the funny thing about rules is they only work if you have someone strong enough to enforce them"
the girl rubbed her forehead and looked at Mars with teary eyes
"f-fine I'll let you go with a warning"
"that's more like it"
Mars turned and walked out of the cafeteria, this time no one stopped him
'let's find some place quiet...'
Mars walked around and soon found a quiet corner of a courtyard where a lonely tree stood and sat down with his back against the tree before he called out
"it's fine now Victoria"
Victoria jumped out of Mars's shadow and looked around with weary eyes before she walked over and nestled on Mars's lap where he petted her gently to sooth her after a while Mars could feel that Victoria had calmed down
"let's go into the city and get some breakfast"
"okay...I'm hungry"
seeing Victoria was back to normal Mars gave a happy smile
"then let's go find some food"
Mars walked out the gate to the academy and out onto the streets of the academy city
'now where to go... lets just wander around...'
Mars did as he though and wandered around for a bit and took in the sights of the city until he arrived at a market
"this looks promising... Victoria you smell anything good?"
Victoria looked around and sniffed the air before she looked at a direction as her horns flashed
"over...there, smell... good"
"then let's go over there"
Mars walked in the direction pointed out by Victoria and soon they both saw and smelled a bunch of food stalls and quickly brought some grilled meat which he fed to Victoria and a sandwich witch he ate himself, now having satisfied their hunger Mars and Victoria took some time to explore the market witch had all sorts of odds and ends but bedsides some low class magic beast cores Mars found nothing of interest and left the market without using anymore money and started to walk back towards the academy with Victoria
'well it was fun in its own way... maybe I should bring Elsa next time?'
Mars and Victoria returned to the academy without anything interesting happening that is until they reached the dorms and was about to walk in
"stop right there!"
'not this shit again...'
Mars debated ignoring the call but eventually turned around and saw the girl from earlier
'she's brought more people this time... annoying'
the girl had a smug look on her face as she was surrounded by what looked like 3 of her friends/underlings
"I decided to have you pay the fine anyway, now come with me"
"...annoying"
"what did you sa---"
the girl didn't have a change to finish talking before Mars appeared in front of her and once again
"OUCH"
poked her forehead before he pulled out his sword and held it up to her face and said in a cold voice
"I done playing with you, run along now little girl"
"f-f-f-fine, you win this time!"
the girl ran away leaving her underlings behind which iterated Mars as they looked quite hostile despite their leaders untimely retreat
"what, you guys want something?"
"your just a swordsman, don't act all high and mighty!"
"we will remember this!"
"yeah so don't you forget!"
after the underlings said their lines they ran after their leader in a hurry with slight panic on their faces, seeing them run away Mars gave a sigh and put his sword over his shoulder
'this must be what they call youth...'
Mars gave another sigh and sheathed his sword before he and Victoria walked back to the dorms and entered room 202 where Mars laid down on the sofa to relax and soon he was joined by Victoria that snuggled up to him
'...maybe I should look around for some extra classes to take, just to pass time'
Mars considered what classes to take and decided that the classes that made the most sense to him was formations and maybe darkness magic if they had classes for them
'well this is Destra's magic academy, they should have those classes... but first comes lazing around'
Mars lazed around on the couch along with Victoria until it was past noon
"well I need to get up and do stuff... do you want to come with me?"
"no...."
"okay then look after the room"
"okay..."
Mars walked out off the room and shut the door after himself
'...I don't need to lock it when Victoria's home'
Mars walked out of the dorm building and headed towards the administrative building when he arrived he walked in and asked the person at the counter
"is it possible to register for more classes?"
"yes certainly, what classes do you want to register for?"
"darkness magic and formations"
"one moment please"
the person at the counter flipped open a book and looked though it before he looked back up at Mars
"there are classes for formation building, but we have no classes for darkness magic"
"oh... then just for formation building please"
"yes that will be 1000 cel"
Mars quickly fished out ten silver coins and handed it the person
"and your name is?"
"Mars"
"okay then Mars, you are now registered for formation building classes and may take all levels of this class expect expert witch isn't available at the moment, classes start form 8:00 and every other hour until 19:00 in the central teaching building class room 5"
"okay, got it thanks"
Mars left the administrative building and looked up at the clock tower
'13:34... perfect, I should have time to find the central teaching building...'
just as Mars was wondering how to find the way to the central teaching building Mars spotted a familiar person and walked up behind her before he softly said
"stop right there!"
"w-w-what do you want!"
it was indeed the fiery girl that had tried to get him to pay a fine 2 times now
"well first off my name is Mars, what's your name?"
"Mars huh... my name is Cassandra Skymaw my friends call me Cass"
"okay Cass, do you know where the ce---"
"you're not my friend!"
Mars gave a smile and put a hand on the hilt of his sword
"don't say that, I think we're quite close already with you firing deadly magic at me and all"
"y-you.... f-fine I give you special permission to call me Cass"
"that's better, see Cass I'm a new student here and I don't know the way to the central teaching building, so I wondered if you would show me the way"
"...fine"
"see that's much better"
Mars followed after Cass with a childish grin on his face and soon Cass stopped and pointed towards the building next to the clock tower
"that's the central teaching building"
"thanks"
