With the morning sun shining through the window, Seiya opened his eyes and looked around.
Right now Seiya was staying with the Arunia family in his new room. He was supposed to be alone here, but his hands were enveloped in something soft.
Even if he tried to get out of the bed, these two “restraints” didn’t let him. Having no other choice he said:
「Yua, Lily, wake up. It’s morning already, we will be late」
When Seiya said so, the restraining force vanished and two beautiful girls opened their eyes.
A beautiful girl with white hair and red eyes was hugging his right arm.
Another beautiful girl with blue hair and blue eyes was hugging his left arm. [1]
It wasn’t an exaggeration to call these girls absolutely beautiful, and these beauties were emerging from his bed. Moreover, they were naked.
「Get a grip you two. What are you doing here? 」
「Because I missed Seiya……」
「Because my sister was in your room」
Hearing their nonsensical reasons, he made a wry smile, and they skillfully diverted the topic.
「Seiya……If you don’t hurry up you will be late…..」
「Right, Seiya! Let’s go to school! 」[2]
「Don’t pull on me, wear something first」
After dressing the two naked girls that tried to leave the room as they were, Seiya headed to the dining room.
When they arrived in the dining room, Yua’s parents were already there and greeted them.
「You finally got up」
「Good morning Yua-chan, Seiya-kun, Lily-chan」
「Good morning……..father, mama……」[3]
「Good morning」
「Good morning!」
Having finished their morning greetings, the trio arrived at their seats.
From the right to the left, the sitting order was: Yua, Seiya, Lily. Soon, servants brought the plates and breakfast officially started.
As soon as breakfast began, Raiga, sitting in front of Seiya, started talking.
「From today forward, Seiya and Lily will be attending Arsenia Magic Academy with Yua. As I said yesterday, we adopted Lily as Yua’s little sister while Seiya was registered as our retainer. Understood?」
「Yes」
「All right!」
Actually, today was Monday and at the same time, it was the first day of their new school life.
「And Seiya will be in the same class as Yua」
「As expected from you」
「My dear is overprotective after all」
After Kana said that, as expected, Lily asked a question.
「And Lily?」
「You are registered as a trainee. You are free to do what you want and can visit Seiya during breaks. However, during the classes, it’s prohibited」
「All right!」
「Thank you, dad……」
「Don’t worry about it, Yua」
Yua thanked her father with a happy look, and Raiga and Kana were looking at her with a gentle expression.
「Also, Seiya. Don’t flirt too much at school」
「I know」
Seiya eyed Raiga with an annoyed look, but thinking about everything that happened already, he discovered that he might just do it.
After all, Lily and Seiya stayed in this house for a whole week already.
After they finished breakfast and dressed up, Seiya headed for Arsenia Magic Academy ahead of Lily and Yua.
According to the family register, Seiya was lower in status compared to Lily, who was adopted by Arunia family.
And just like that, the academy first decided to test Seiya. The test was scheduled for the morning of his first day.
Yua already taught him how to get to the Arsenia Magic Academy, so Seiya was able to arrive without any problems.
It was a large school building with a big fence surrounding it. Compared to Senabia Magic Academy, the design was different, but the general outline stayed the same.
Seiya entered the academy and talked with a guide.
Seiya learned about the location of the faculty room and proceeded to climb the stairs to the second floor. While he climbed, Seiya thought of the past.
When he was climbing the stairs of Senabia Magic Academy back then, he was filled with nothing more than disgust and reluctance.
But right now Seiya was excited, it was the start of his new life.
While thinking about his future, he arrived at the faculty room.
「Excuse me. I’m Kiritsuna Seiya, here to join the 2-A class. I was told to come here first thing in the morning」
When Seiya opened the door, everyone inside looked at him.
There were a lot of disappointed eyes that seemed to be saying「Is this the retainer of a special magician? 」,「He doesn’t look that strong」,「He feels somewhat normal」, but Seiya ignored them and patiently waited. [4]
Then a woman walked towards Seiya.
「You are Kiritsuna Seiya-kun, right?」
「Yes」
「I’m your homeroom teacher Yayuna Laniskale. Best regards」[5]
「Treat me well」
The woman who introduced herself as a homeroom teacher gave off a gentle and kind atmosphere.
Yayuna had long pink hair and pearl-like eyes, she seemed to be a direct opposite of his previous homeroom teacher Lamia.
Seiya though that she is definitely popular with the students.
「All right, let get to the test then」
「Right here?」
Seiya was surprised at the sudden development, but Yayuna answered with a never-changing smile.
「That’s right. The test’s content is simple. Try to release all of your mana, but do not target objects, only teachers」
「I see. I just need to release it without aiming at anything in particular?」
「By the way, if you hit the majority of teachers here, you will pass」
Said Yayuna with an amused expression. Seiya was a bit confused watching her. [6]
Full release, as the name suggests, means that the magician has to release all of his mana at once.
As an example, during the battle with the lightning beast in the Great Dalis Canyon, 『Holy Law』used by Yua and『Dark Tremor』used by Seiya were close to full release.
Full release is used as a method to roughly gauge the ability of a magician.
But Seiya was confused, he didn’t understand to what degree he should release his mana.
After he awakened his power he always fought with magical beasts or the lightning beast or Undine. But they definitely shouldn’t be used as the measure.
So, if he makes a mistake, a teacher might be injured or even lose his life.
If he kills a teacher here, he will be refused admission 9 out of 10. Thinking along those lines, Seiya released about 30% of his mana. [7]
「Understood. Release」
「Eh?」
Yayuna was surprised at his words, as were the rest of the teachers.
Because Seiya released all of his mana without a chant.
Normally, full release requires a chant belonging to one of the four attributes, and without it full release shouldn’t be possible.
And Seiya made a full release without a chant. [8]
But that wasn’t everything that surprised them.
At the next moment, several teachers fainted, facing the mana wave.
Normally, if a magician receives a wave of mana, there should be a mana wall surrounding his body. It’s not common for people to faint because of that.
However, Seiya’s mana entered their bodies and affected their organs and brain directly.
As a result, some of the teachers succumbed to the pressure.
Seiya didn’t understand this and further raised the amount of mana, but in a panic, Yayuna stops him.
「All right, Seiya. That’s enough」
「But it’s only 30%……」
「T-that was 30%?!」
「Eh, kind of」
「Just how much mana do y-you have?」
「I do not know that myself……」
Hearing his words, the teachers received a shock, but Seiya didn’t mind and said:
「By the way, do I pass?」
「Yes, no problem here. You can’t possibly fail if you have the power to make the teachers faint」
「I see. Then everything is good」
While he was filling necessary papers in the faculty room, the chime signaling the start of classes rang.
And along with Yayuna, his homeroom teacher, Seiya went to his new classroom.
