>>>Zach POV

Time passed uneventfully until lunch time where a small incident revolving around a bunch of rich snobs bullying the new 'commoner' student in finding a place to sit. Fortunately Lucy was still following me so as soon as the snobs found out who she was they quickly left.

*Riiiiing* *Riiiiiing*

"Oh, that's the bell. Shall we go to last lesson then Zach?",

"Sorry Lucy, I think I'm in a different physical class to you.",

"What!?", Lucy practically jumped in shock.

"Yeah I'm in the 3rd year's class.",

"What- ... Never mind... See you later Zach.", Lucy dejectedly dragged herself out of the cafeteria and out of sight.

Oh well, she was going to find out sooner or later and she will probably move to the 3rd year class as well with all the array's I was told to install in that Magic Device of hers. *sigh*

I follow Lucy's lead and walk off in the opposite direction towards the 3rd years training grounds.

It didn't take long at at to find out where I was going but somehow I still managed to arrive later than the rest of the class who were already running laps to warm up. I walked over to what I assumed to be the teacher but with this guy's good looks he might as well be a model!

"Who are you!", the mod- er teachers icy voice shouted at myself as I neared him.

"If you are here to deliver a message, say your piece and leave!",

Holy crap! This guy has some serious a anger issues.

"Er, I was told that I am in this class.",

"A first year student like you?", he raised an eyebrow,"Okay... But if this turns out badly you can go back to the first years practice.",

"Al~right...",

"Start by running ten laps to warm up.", he famishes with his icy voice before continuing to observe the older students.

Only ten laps? To be clear the 3rd years practice area was the size of half a football pitch so to me it isn't a lot. After all I've strengthened my body with mana after creating some accidental arrays which enhanced the body. I'm nowhere near a professional athlete but if I were to run a steady pase around here it would only just get me warmed up, maybe, perhaps.

With nothing else to do I quickly set off and fell into a rythm whilst running but unfortunately for me the 3rd year boys seemed to keep 'accidentally' shoving me every time I got near them. I just put it down to their own disability to be able to run properly and proceeded to finishing my run without my heart beating any faster than it did originally.

>>>Male teacher POV

What's with this first year kid? I thought it was a mistake when he said that he was put in my class. I was just going to let him wear himself out before sending him back to the first year class. But not only did he beat all the third year students at getting across the finish line, he did it without breaking a sweat!

Anyway all the student were gathered in front of me now in a semi-circle whilst they were catching their breath.

"Sir, why is this kid here in our class.", one of the less tired third years called out to me.

"It seems that it was an executive decision I don't know why... Now that you've all got your breath back we shall start sparring. I need to see where you are all are in this moment in time. Now then, Stuart come over here and you boy, you come as well everyone else stand around the edge.",

They all did as I asked them leaving just the first year kid and Stuart in front of me. Stuart could be said to be one of the best at magic in the new third grade, and what's best is that he won't senselessly beat someone up just because they are weaker than him. The perfect opponent for this 1st year.

"Now I want you two to have a practice fight in order to get... Er what's your name kid?",

"Zach.",

"In order to get Zach up to speed. Anything is allowed but don't do anything lethal, it's only a practice. I will count to three and on three you can begin.",

>>>David POV

I've been looking forward to this all day ever since I arranged Zach's timetable. With a test score of five minutes there is no way that he doesn't know how to use a Magic Device.

Here I am, I hope I'm not too late. I had activated a stealth array in my office so I could sneak out and watch Zach's fight unnoticed.

Oh it looks like it's just about to start.

"1, 2, 3!",

The other boy immediately jumped backwards and started to activate an array,

"Activate array, Q746A [Ice Shot]!",

Mana particles in the air flew towards the boy's wrist where his mana device was located and suddenly a shard of ice started forming in mid air. You could visibly tell its temperature by the mist that surrounded it.

Suddenly it shot forward with the speed of an arrow directly towards Zach.

Oh no this could be bad, I should step in! Wait, he's saying something. I can't hear it from here.

*SMASH*

The sound was that of the ice shard projectile smashing into an invisible wall and falling to the ground right in front of Zach.

Mana Wall! But the control needed to pull of that is too hard. He couldn't have immediately killed the ice shards momentum though!

I looked to Zach's to see that he was quietly mumbling something else. Suddenly Zach started glowing a pale blue colour before shooting off in the direction of the other boy.

Ah crap! Physical enhancement. An advanced military array. I've got to stop him before he injures that other boy.

"[Dash]", after activating the array I stopped the invisibility array and charged towards the third year kid, luckily I was closer I should arrive before... Eh?

Zach dashed past me with his physical enhancement and swung his enhanced fist, that was not holding a magic device, towards the poor boy.

I could only try and yell at Zach to stop before the other kid's skull had a new shiny fist shaped imprint in the middle of it.

"Stop!!!",

**************

Let's be honest, we all know these chapters are ridiculously short so I was curious of they should be longer (hence the poll). If the chapters need to be longer I will still try to keep the 1 a day schedule but it might turn into 1 every two days..

Food for thought..

Enjoy the rest of your day! ^O^
