All the students were gathered in the central section of the dome, the same place where the magical affinity tests had been carried out.
The students gathered below the stage were grouped into columns according to their classes. Only S class students wore a gold stripe on the sleeves of their uniform.
Everyone was talking about the classes they would take and some rumors that were circulating around the Academy, until the loud voice of Vice Principal Morgat was heard announcing:
"First-year student body, please show respect to the outstanding students."
All the students fell silent after a short time and remained attentive to the stage on which a beautiful Limgic wooden lectern appeared after a flash.
"Third place: Evans Qualty; take the stage"
Everyone saw Evans coming on stage and applauded. Evans politely greeted the student body who, for the most part, had appreciation and respect for him.
"Second place: Amelia Razvenia; take the stage"
All the students applauded, although it was evident that the intensity of the applause was greater.
Amelia positioned herself next to Evans and he told her:
-Apparently you are more popular than me.
-I am a princess of the Empire, it is to be expected. -Amelia stated with confidence.
"Student representative: Asert Feriac"
All the students applauded to follow the protocol, but it was evident that the intensity decreased, because Asert's somber personality had led him to distance himself from the rest of the first-year students.
"Everyone listen to the student representative's words carefully"
Asert walked to the lectern, on which there was a magic stone, he took it and a magical sound spell was activated, then he exclaimed:
"Even in the light there is evil; And in the darkness many innocents take refuge; I will not allow them to cloud my days, I will put an end to their lies"
-Oh. -Amelia whispered
"Light? his constant hostility towards the Sacred Temple of the Sun; apparently he hates them; and I think I do too, although at the moment I haven't remembered it"
After those brief words, the students applauded again out of simple protocol, although the vast majority were bewildered.
After his speech, Asert stood on the other side of Amelia.
"The highest authority of Stariar Academy introduces himself; student body show respect"
Even though silence spread throughout the place, almost all the students were expectant.
"Director Vilian Merizter"
A very beautiful woman with reddish hair, crimson eyes, white skin, wore an elegant black dress and wore red gloves on her hands, whose appearance seemed like that of a 20-year-old girl, but in reality she was an archmage who had lived more than 150 years, which made her even more fearsome among the magicians of the continent, since within the world of magic she was a magician who reached the highest rank at a young age.
The principal looked at the outstanding students, then at the rest of the students, and gave her speech:
"Stariar Academy students.
They are in a dream place; I can guarantee it myself; However, dreams require efforts and sacrifices, if they do not have many resources at birth; In this Academy you are people independent of the outside; In this Academy they will be protected if they ask for it; But if you keep quiet and abide by external rules, no one will save you; It is 4 years, if they make an effort and show results, the Academy will give them the resources to continue growing; In the end, only those worthy will have the opportunity to be recruited; Be worthy of the Stariar Academy, and your achievements will shine."
Princess Amelia took Evans' hand gently.
-It is a realistic speech. -Evans whispered.
-Yes, sometimes it is better to be direct. This way there will be no excuses. -Amelia added.
The students applauded loudly, in the end the person who stood out the most at the entrance ceremony was the Director Vilian Meritzer.
After the director finished her speech she left without saying another word.
"First year students, you can go to your respective classrooms"
Upon hearing the vice principal's words, everyone began to leave. Evans walked towards a corner and, since the princess was still holding his hand, he accompanied him. He leaned against a wall, watched the students leave and she asked him:
-Why do you always wait?
-There is no reason to be in a hurry, if in the end I can reach my goal on time. -Evans responded, directing his gaze to Amelia.
-I heard that you interacted with two very particular students. Why? -Princess Amelia inquired since she was a little curious.
-They are talented, talented allies are never too much. -Was Evans' response.
The princess thought about Evans' answer and then asked:
-And if they become enemies?
-I will take definitive measures before that happens. -Evans stated without hesitation.
She laughed elegantly, let go of Evans's hand and said:
-I have to go, my group is waiting for me.
Evans nodded and then the princess walked away.
Evans walked through the hallways, in his hand he had a note that said:
"Room 01"
He had already toured the school before so he had learned the location of most of the places, he walked until he was in front of the entrance to room 01. Entrance over which there was a gold plaque that had written:
"Be privileged"
Upon entering, Evans saw the spacious room, it was not so different in size from the conference room, light-colored walls with magic stones, an elegant wooden ceiling, elegant desks and comfortable seats. It was evident that the Academy wanted to make the members of class S feel privileged. After observing the room he saw Lizet who was sitting in a place in the middle of the different eligible positions, he was going to sit near her, but in the end he preferred a seat that was at the end and close to the window.
-Hello Evans. He's busy.
Evans looked at Karven, pointing to the stall next to him, and said:
-Forward.
-Thank you, this is quite striking, don't you think? -Karven suggested as he sat down.
-Yes, apparently they want us to realize what we have gained by entering class S. - Evans explained with his characteristic friendly manner.
-You're right, we must make an effort, right? -Karven concluded with determination and enthusiasm.
-Yes, that's what I was referring to. -Evans added.
