After walking around the dome for a few seconds with a generous distance magically appearing between me and any actual person as I go, I eventually give up on finding her. Only to raise my head and lock eyes immediately onto Denise’s live footage on one of the screens. Oh. There she is. The blonde is currently fighting against some random dude wearing factory made magi-tech armor and appears to be winning. So I stand there for a few seconds to watch, only to reach my hand up and press the random…-

My eyes widen slightly when the one in the simple t-shirt suddenly begins glowing with a black and purple aura that seems to be eating everything around him. Interesting. What’s also interesting is that the one across from the guy in the t-shirt doesn’t seem to be afraid at all. In fact, he just slams his palms together, making a golden-purple shockwave spread out from it. Then he keeps his palms together and the shockwave repeats itself over and over again. Soon enough, the dark cave the two seem…

We both open our mouths to speak, only to instead be flooded with people who are struggling to reach us first to challenge us while I’m still hearing the earpiece mention me getting three points. And right before one of them does succeed in challenging me, I notice the guy mouthing ‘later’ to me. I nod my head right before accepting the challenge and ending up in another magical reality. This one being some sort of dark grassy plains during the night. And the one who challenged me this time is a…

So I was a little disappointed when our strikes collided, since he was weaker than me despite apparently being a higher level. Although I can’t tell how he stacks up to the demons in physical strength, since they all vary, and I’ve never had much of a direct confrontation with them considering their lack of sapience. For the ones I’ve fought that is. But after seeing his eyes glowing and his strength soaring with that? Now that makes this more interesting. I quickly begin to use blood boil and life…

The remaining of the five minutes goes by in a flash, and soon enough a loud bell echoes throughout the dome with the vice-headmaster’s voice following right afterwards, “The tournament will now begin.” And almost immediately, I feel someone’s hand on my shoulder, making me twitch slightly as the loud dome gets even louder. Then a dinging sound echoes from my earpiece, following which a robotic voice says, “Will you accept William Brown’s challenge?” I quickly turn around to find a rather…

I feel myself moving somewhere before the mist fades away, revealing a much smaller room filled with a lot of students. One that is in the shape of a large dome, with four large screens located in opposite locations on the ceiling of the dome, each facing inwards towards us and showing a magical reality. At the same time, I find a woman quite literally flying in the air above us. And I immediately recognize her as a Class IV Guardian known as Viper, which was coined for her mostly due to her serpentine…

All around me, students are activating their magi-tech armor, making every individual’s armor cover their uniform before shrinking and fitting their bodies. The majority of them have basic armor that simply looks like a less cool version of Allen’s, without the core at the center, and with a duller metal for the plating despite everyone having a large variety of colors. But some of them have more unique armor, and others don’t even have armor that looks like armor at all, theirs being more like my…

The students begin whispering amongst themselves, seemingly excited at the prospect of becoming an Advanced student. But the old man just taps his cane on the ground again, silencing everyone as he says, “Before I move onto the Top class students, I would like to make one thing clear.” His eyes begin faintly glowing again while at the same time narrowing. “Discrimination based on class is not tolerated on our campus. After you’re a student, you are all equal. No matter what class you are in. And…

We end up waiting for over a dozen minutes until it’s finally noon on the dot when a man just suddenly appears on the stage. One I recognize as the vice-headmaster. The guy who originally had me take my exam. All of the chatter in the auditorium quickly begins to go away, leaving nothing but silence in its wake. Then I notice various people suddenly standing in all of the corners of the room, every last dark place, every last shadow, and almost all of them are familiar faces from the news. Each being…

The next morning sees me eating a rather large breakfast before going back to my room and changing into my uniform for the university. But right when I’m about to leave my room to meet up with the others who are attending the opening ceremony, I pause as I notice some sort of amulet on my bed with a note on top of it. An amulet that looks just like the ones the other Guardians have that lets them equip their magi-tech armor. A grin spreads across my face as I grab the thing before putting it on over my…
