《Living in my Own World!》Chapter 4 - School Life (Part 1)
Advertisement
I woke up to a door being opened. I didn't feel that good, because I never feel good when I have a nap. I looked at the well-built man with curiosity filling me.
"Oh, hello, who are you?" I asked, my head tilted to the right.
"You're one of three other roommates I suppose? Okay, my name is Chad Greenman of the Marquis Greenman family, and you?"
"I'm Kas Ravenwood, 2 years old." I was having fun with it at this point.
"T-two? Ravenwood? An exiled noble family? Oh wow. Your family was an Earl family at one point, right? And also, how did you even get into the academy? Do you not need to be at least 5 years old?" The noble asked these questions in less than 5 seconds. He was speaking so fast, I couldn't even keep up. My underdeveloped brain!
"Okay, firstly, calm down, secondly, yes, Ravenwood. Third, I do not know how I got in, I was just accepted by the Headmaster."
"I see. Wait, the Headmaster? Not any of the Recruiters?" In this Academy, the students are chosen by the Recruiters, a group of staff that accept students in or not. The Headmaster is one of them but he is also the Head Recruiter, and everyone who was accepted by him grew up to be one of the greatest adventurers of all time. People say he has a Magical Eye, others say he is just good at telling talented people from untalented.
Magical Eyes are very sought after in this world, from the Magical Eyes of Talent to the Magical Eyes of True Sight. The Talent eye can see talent in every person and sees their potential in colors. True Sight eyes can see people who are invisible, and the only counter is a Level 7 spell known as "True Stealth," which hides the caster and the people touching the caster as well as muffling any sound and removing any trace of themselves. The only counter to that is an All-Seeing Barrier, which can sense when someone enters it no matter what.

My father told me to take a look at the library 3 weeks into training, so I did. Man is there a lot of good things there.
"Yeah, that's right."
"Wait, THE HEADMASTER?!" The seemingly calm-looking man was not calm, after all.
"Yes, the Headmaster," I replied for the umpteenth time.
"Okay, fine. School's starting tomorrow, by the way. You missed the assembly."
Now it was my turn to be not calm.
"I WHAT?!" I didn't even realize there was an assembly. And I slept through it?! Why didn't the receptionist tell me? Well, to be honest, probably just to get rid of me.
With a sigh, I looked back at the man. I stepped from my bed with a yawn.
"Ugh, oh well. It doesn't matter much."
"We'll be getting our schedule soon, too."
As if on time, a noise could be heard all throughout the dorms, a sound of metal meeting something softer. I noticed a small crack in the roof, and I heard the 'softer item' coming into that, so I just waited. Then it came down, the piece of paper came from the little crack in the roof.

Dismissal
I stared at the piece of paper with my jaw hitting the floor. 9 hours and 30 minutes of school. Can you imagine? Sighing, I put it in my bag that I brought from home. It was a fairly large bag, not big yet not small. I put most of the books I need in my bag and then lifted it with Wind Magic, Levitate which I created. I added a condition so that it follows me, too, and I also put a barrier around my bag, for security. It was a basic alarm system so that if someone was stealing something I would find out easily.
"8 periods, huh," Chad said with a sigh. "Let's do our best, I'll be aiming for the top!"
"I will too! Also, weren't we supposed to have more roommates?" I questioned the 2 bunk beds since we most likely only needed 2 normal beds.
"I think so, but I guess not. I don't know, maybe I'll ask later."
I nodded and went out to explore the academy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I saw quite a few people outside of the 'Cafeteria' building. I decided to walk over to see what the commotion was all about, but I had already guessed what it was. They were all circling two dudes who seemed like they were fighting. Wanting to show off a little, I intervened.
"Hey, musclebrains. Lay off the fighting would ya?"
"What did you say, twerp?! I'll beat your tiny brain out of your head!" One of the fighters said. For whatever reason, he aimed a punch at my head. I just caught it without flinching, which was apparently a bad idea.
Once more, the instigator tried to punch me, and I caught his other fist.
With little effort, I threw him over by the fountain out front. The cafeteria was similar to the main building, except for the words 'Cafeteria' out front, and the fact that it is very small in comparison.
"D-did he just take down a person with S potential?!" A random bystander said. I flinched at that. Did I accidentally show off too much? Wincing, I walked away while everyone was still frozen. With that, I turned around and ran for my dorm again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In my spacious room, I was practicing and learning some magic. Over the past few hours, I've been trying to make as many spells as possible in preparation for the Practical Exam that was going to happen on the first day. The Practical Exam was an exam that tests a persons ability and potential. At the same time, I was trying to find a way to conceal my true potential, but I had no such luck doing so. With yet another sigh, my fifth one today or more, I learned about Flying Tornado, a version of Wind Tornado that made a tornado in mid-air, to help with any airborne enemies.
I also learned about Time Magic, a Special Magic that could reverse, accelerate, or stop time altogether, and alongside its brother Space Magic, I learned how to make a Spatial Holding Bag. The Spatial Holding Bag was a Divine-grade item, and better bags, such as mine, were Ancient-grade Artifacts. I shuddered at my own ability.
I had a pretty successful day, and Chad was still somewhere else, but nonetheless, I decided to halt my practice for the day and get an early rest for tomorrow's classes.

The Yes-Mage
Plenty of people have stopped and asked what it'd be like to simply have everything, and Sylvain Henry Camille Johansson was no different. He was a man who had a lot of things going on, with a name that'd make a supervillain blush and a family who'd make even the useless of their rank into someone important. It was a shame, then, that he was slapped with a dreadfully unfortunate condition that kept him from living up to any of those already low expectations. Stuck living a life where magic is everywhere while he's left working with nothing more than a moderate intellect, a little bit of whatever influence he could get from his family, and a lifetime's practice at making himself the ideal subordinate for his bosses' boss, Vane was still beating the odds and slowly working his way up in the world. When the cunning yes-man finally got a chance to really make a name for himself, he leapt at the offer, taking his first real step onto a road he knew he was always meant to walk. His goal? Nothing less than finding out why he and too many other unfortunate souls are barred from the wonderful world of the higher energies, and with any luck, fixing it. Of course, life has a knack for interfering in even the humblest of plans, and Vane's lofty ideals were anything but humble; he was practically a walking bullseye for disaster. The funny thing about catastrophe, though, is that nobody can ever say what form it's going to take. That’s why, when it all went wrong for Vane, he'd gotten everything he'd ever wanted foisted onto him, and Everything else, too. Watch as a man so used to saying 'yes' to everyone above him finds himself stuck with the power to make reality itself say it back.
