Someone's Pov
Enrolling on a prestigious academy was a dream for everybody. The resources and the connection to everything that is rare to some can be achieved there.
Aster Academy was a dream of many, myself included and as soon as the gates were open I didn't hesitate to enter. However I felt like it was a mistake, the entrance exam was horrifying, a white ghost with flaming powers melted one-foot thick walls like butter, like a goddamn butter! I stayed for two weeks inside a psychiatric ward because I couldn't get that image out of my head.
However, I wasn't mad at him since he would often pay a visit to us while paying for our medical bills. I realized at that time, he was kind!
Though he is still scary I suddenly remember how he blew up the sky and made a literal lightning display in broad daylight. Scored the highest out of all the records of the entrance exam and disappeared without saying anything.
It wasn't even enough he even went as far as to enrol in the lower class, to the god-forsaken LOWER CLASS!
Why? He is the monster of our batch but he is staying with the lowest class in terms of power and connection.
As I grimaced about this fact I saw them once when I was eating in the cafeteria. They all look tired as if it's the end of the world.
"Look it's the lower class"
My friend said while scooping down his warm soup.
Then as we observed them a student from our class approached their table.
"Looks like something interesting is going to happen" I said expecting a show to entertain us.
"I wonder what will the top ranker do? Will he send these guys flying or will he fry them"
As my thoughts ran wild my classmate began to speak.
"What's this? What's the lower class doing here?"
He spoke with a sarcastic voice, making those who hear it irritated as well. It was really because of his words but because of his voice, it was really irritating to the ears to the point I wanted to silence him forever.
"Hey, whatcha doing lower class" Another guy came trying to start trouble, though it seems this one came from another class.
Instead of being mad or being exasperated the students of lower class just stare at the two as if they are the dirtiest bug in the world.
I can't help but snicker when I saw my classmate's reaction. However, my smile disappeared when I saw more people coming.
Should I help? I thought while leaving my spoon suspended in the air. It's not just me but other students who are merely eating became nervous at the brewing trouble.
"Samael" one of them spoke though her voice could barely be heard.
"On it" then someone answered.
I don't know who that person is but he doesn't look intimidated despite their table being surrounded.
"It's becoming troublesome," he said until something bizarre occurred.
"What's with the unconscious people?"
The black hair girl with Apollo said while kicking some of the unconscious students.
"Hey Aaron open it up!" she added and with those words the the sleeping beauties finally woke up.
She handed them their meal while Apollo merely looked at the girl.
"May I ask what are you doing?"
"Your classmate uses magic against other students that is against the academy's rules" she confidently said then Apollo answered back.
"Seeing you are confident with the academy's rules you should also know that there is a massive barrier that surrounds each establishment, those barriers are highly sensitive to magic and if by any chance my classmate did indeed use one, an alarm would sound alerting the professors and proper action can be held"
"Now I'll ask you again, did you hear any alarm?"
"No...but you.."
"Young lady may I remind you the Academy had every resources to build a very powerful barrier, I warned you not to make an insult towards the high-ranking mages who made them"
After saying those words he went back towards their table eating happily while his classmates groaned.
Ever since that incident, some students have become afraid of bumping into their class. They don't know whom they are afraid of, Apollo the top ranker, the entire lower class, or probably both.
....
"Hurry the exams are starting!"
"Wait!"
"Shh!"
"What?"
"Look!"
"It's them hey move out of the way!"
"Why?"
"They are here!"
"Who!"
"It's Apollo and the rest of his classmates!"
"Hurry don't block the way!"
Unknowingly Apollo and the rest of his classmates became the most notorious group in their year.
