Chapter 145: Chapter 145 Descent.

A glorious and vast interior of the stadium that painted in white. A row of lined chairs that have been elected stretches to each side of the room. Many students and upperclassmen already occupied the present seat, which also flustered Soma and Hina, who came a bit late.

"Soma Hina, good luck. We will be cheering for you on the second floor".

Hisako, who dragged Hina with her hand, faced the two kids in uniform outfits with melancholy eyes because it reminded her of the time she also wore the uniform in her mind. The memories replicate in a flash, making her lips spread in a nostalgic sense.

Hiroshi, on the other hand, still retained the dark expression on his face; however, he forced himself to speak his smile not to crack the festive mood his wife had created.

"Okay, Mom. let's go, Soma".

Hina, who felt excited to attend the opening ceremony, extended her hand before she grasped Soma's left hand, making him smile wryly.

"Okay, then. We will be on our way".

The two adults waved their hands, looking at the pair of kids who scanned their surroundings to seek some empty chairs. The vast room and the many bodies that occupied the room made the search seem hard.

A woman who noticed the two of them lost stood from her seat and then approached them. She softened her face and tried not to be rude, then opened her mouth.

"Are you two perhaps new students?".

Hina, who was suddenly being approached, twitched her body, but as soon as she felt the warmth that permeated from her linked hands. Her stirred mind starts to calm down and face the woman's eyes straight.

"Yes, we were looking for an empty seat".

"Oh, I see. You might go to the forward line because the chair for new students is already arranged in front".

The woman with a clear voice informed the two while raising her index finger, making Hina nod her head.

"Thank you, senior".

"Thank you".

"You're welcome. You better hurry up because the ceremony will be held in a moment".

Hina and Soma bent their heads slightly before fastening their pace to reach the last line of the front row of seats that was indeed filled with people with tensed expressions on their faces, and some of them already had tears streaming down their cheeks, overcoming with joy.

After looking to the side, there are four empty seats in the corner. Hina clenched their connected hands tightly, informed him while extending your index.

"Look Soma, over there".

"Um, Let's Go".

The two of them began to approach the empty seats, passing toward the line of new students who felt excited and tense about the new environment they would attend. Soma and Hina arrived at the empty seat while Soma turned his gaze toward the woman who sat beside the empty chair. Their eyes met for a moment, and then, Soma tilted his head a bit then spoke.

"Excuse me, is this seat open?".

The woman who heard Soma unexpectedly talking to her twitched her body as the heat started to gather around her cheeks. With fluttering lips, the girl spoke.

"...Y-yes, go ahead".

"Thank you. Hina, you sit there".

"Okay".

Both of them began to take their respective seats, in which Hina was beside the girl and then Soma. At the same time, hurried footsteps echoed, which attracted Soma's curiosity as he turned his gaze and saw a silver-haired woman with ruby eyes approaching their place.

With bated breath, she stopped before dumbfounded Soma while regulating her breath several times before she opened her mouth.

"...Fuu, I am glad I made it".

"Good morning, Xiao Lian".

"... Good morning".

"Um, Good morning. Is that seat available?".

"Yes, go ahead".

"Thank you".

Xiao Lian flopped her butt and sat beside Soma, which made Hina curious as to why she arrived at this time. However, as much as Hina is curious, the light in the stadium dimmed, making the new students feel restless. The stage that had been erected in the innermost part of the room lit up, revealing a podium with a microphone stand illuminated by the lamp.

The room, which was bustling with small whispers, turned muted as if sound had disappeared from the world. A single lamp lit on the stage illuminated a beautiful female with black hair approaching the podium, making Soma's eyes widen in surprise.

With each step she took, many eyes were following her as if she were a fairy that descended into the human world. Her long black hair that cascaded her back swayed gently with each step. Her posture is straight, with her head held high, exuding a confident aura. Her sharp and gentle eyes, which turned to the audience, made every male captivated.

Serafina, with her graceful gesture, lightly knocked the mic before her, letting out a dry thud that reverberated inside the room, making all the attention in the room turn to her. Making sure that the participant's eyes were on her, she puffed her chest out before opening her mouth.

"Greetings, new students. Pleased to meet you. My name is Serafina Lawrence from the magic department. I am here to guide you through the ceremony event that the academy held…".

A gentle and calm tone that Serafina leaked from her mouth, like a piece of pleasant music that calmed everyone's heart.

Her voice carried even through to the parents' side on the second floor, which made them drawn to her breathtaking figures, making the female parents knit their brows in displeasure, with her elegant gesture mixed with her bewitching tone which attracted many participants' eyes never to leave her figure on the stage. Serafina keeps her greetings short and then proceeds toward the main event.

"...Then, without further ado, let's proceed with our first agenda. The greeting from our Student Council President. Please welcome Miss Lucy Daybreak".

After Serafina called a name, all participants' eyes were drawn to the figure of a female student with mellowed eyes walking to the stage. Serafina slowly steps out from the podium, lending the stage for a bit.

Then, a single light cascaded upon the stage, illuminating the fairy that descended onto the stage wearing an academy uniform with a prim appearance that made everyone who saw her gasp in awe. Earlier, when Serafina ascended the podium, all eyes were drawn to her after having awoken their primal instinct as a male, but the current sight when Lucy appeared on the stage.

Their corrupted minds were purified and reminded that beauty did not exist to be vile but existed to be appreciated.

The girl named Lucy stood amidst the light that illuminated her. However, that light couldn't ever be compared to the ethereal beauty that radiated from her.

Lucy had a skin of pearly white, golden-brown wavy hair that stretched to her back. Her round and gentle eyes radiate a deep blue color, holding warmth and kindness in her personality. A soft curve from her lips made every male in her heart flutter for the pure smile she had.

With fluid motion, she ascended the podium and stood in front of the mass with a confident aura.

"Greeting new students…".

As a soft and gentle voice started to enter every person's ears, Lucy on the podium started to turn strange. She suddenly stopped in her speech, making the onlookers wonder as to what was actually happening to her.

Then, as the one closer to her place, Serafina calmly stepped forward. Still, when she reached a radius five meters from Lucy, her body stiffened as strange pressure began to radiate from Lucy's body, making the atmosphere in the room turn solemn in an instant.

"So it came?!". Soma, who felt the change in the atmosphere, knitted his brows as he already predicted this was going to happen.

"?!".

"... What is happening, Soma?".

"...".

Xiao Lian and Hina simultaneously turned their gaze to the side, opening their gaze wide, watching a calm expression on Soma that wasn't disturbed at all, even though the event had turned chaotic without replying to their question. Soma raised his index finger to block his lips, making Hina and Xiao Lian tilt their heads in wonder.

The commotion exploded when a blinding light crashed upon the stage, illuminating the dim room with its divine grace. The surrounding teacher and staff in the school fastened their steps to reach the stage to prevent anything that could pose a threat to the students.

The glow that crashed to the stage settled down, and Lucy, who earlier stood at the podium with a gentle atmosphere, surrounded her. She turned a hundred eighty when her soft, deep blue eyes changed into a cold golden color, stunning everyone present.

Then, with a wave of her hands, a golden glow began to gather around her back. Then, it burst apart, creating a pair of ten gold wings made from pure light, making everyone present gasp. Above her head, another light started to condense, creating a divine halo that settled on her head, making her appearance look divine.

"...Humans. This is Gabriel speaking to you…".
