"Alright, I believe most of the students are here. At least 95%, at least." Hans rubbed his hands together and turned to an old woman next to him. "You may speak up whenever you feel like it, ma'am."

"Thank you, Hans. Dear students, my name is Michelle Kjellberg, but you may call me Professor Michelle. Or whatever other nickname your minds might create." She looked over the crowd and smiled. "You are our newest generation of students here at the Magi-milian University of the soul, or the Soul University for short. For those of you who do not know, there are two more Magi-milian Universities. One for the Body, which has given form to countless knights and mighty warriors. The second is for the Mind, with focus on the creative and the productive. Here, in the Soul, we focus on mana," The old woman raised her hands and cast a simple spell that produced warmth, raising the temperature with a couple of notches.

"There are many usages for mana by using a spell or to affect the world around us. Mana can be found in the wild, but for living things it can be found in the soul. The mana is then turned into a spell in our mind and then cast out with our bodies." The warmth turned into a soft ball with a wave of Michelle's hand. "There are always some exceptions, of course, but they all have to follow a similar route to utilize more advanced spells. Soul, mind and then body. There are cases where one of these are missing, but these are never perfect. Now I won't be using up all of your time, you all have things to do. If there are any questions you may have, both me and Hans will be waiting here for a couple of hours. You can also ask any of your seniors and other people who know a thing or two about this place if you have any other questions. You are all dismissed for today." Michelle had a soft smile on her face as she watched people leave.

Most of the people walked into the massive building, but there was a small group still waiting around with some questions. And then there's our group of misfits.

"Professor Michelle, why does Magi-milian split itself? Wouldn't it be better to have it all in one university?" One student asked. Michelle laughed.

"Ohohoho, that is a question I never get tired of answering. It's because the three fields have so much material to study that it would simply be ineffective to have it all in one place. It would be like having a kitchen in the bedroom and the bathroom in front of the door into the house. And we use teleporting magic if anyone wishes to travel to the other universities," The student nodded and left, allowing another student to ask a question.

"Professor, I got two questions. How do we choose what to study? And my older brother told me that a point system is used here, how does that work? Isn't it a bit old-fashioned to use such a system?" He pushed his glasses up and waited for the answers.

"To answer the first one, everyone may pick a subject they would like to study, whatever it might be and then to prove you have finished or completed that subject, you will take either a theoretical exam or a practical exam. When you enter the building from the main entrance, you can find the reception where someone can help you further. I believe Hans knows more on that second question than I do. Hans?"

"Well, to give you the short answer, the Crown wants it like that, and so we can't really say much against it. But with it, we don't have to use up nearly as many resources as we would have to if we didn't have it. Students get rewarded for helping other students, and the Universities help the other Universities sort of deal." Hans wiped away some sweat. Four-eyes let out a short 'thanks' before leaving.

Well, was that an infodump of sorts? So after getting your nipples twisted off, you just pick something? Huh, kinda weird. Well, I guess these bickering kids know already what they want to pick. If I were to guess, Heracles is going with body-something. Beatrice with plants. The wannabe edgelord with fire and Diana... Animals? Magical animals? Just magic in general? Well, magic in general would be pretty nice for me, I want a piece of that pie if you know what I mean.

Vita nudged a random, hard-working, cell with a tentacle in hopes of a reaction. If the cell was able to, it would probably have filed a harassment complaint by now.

Vita finished talking to themselves in their own mind and looked at the two extroverts and the two introverts. They were already standing in line, a rather long line, to get to speak with the people at the reception. The inside of the university was quite spacious and from time to time a person would use different methods to fly above the crowds.

And then there were the odd groups of seniors looking at the fresh meat piling in. Whether curious, disinterested or so on. Well there were obviously a lot of people looking at Heracles, Diana and Vita in particular yet none had tried to approach them.

"Yo, it's the winner!"

Bruh.

Two students powerwalked towards the group. One of them had a bit of acne and the other had a strange haircut. The moment they crossed the five-meter mark, Vita covered the face hole for Diana and decided to ignore them again. Nothing would make speaking to someone worth it, at least they could have waited for them to finish their registration. Vita was already blocking out any words coming from the outside world, focusing on vision instead.

Surprisingly enough, it was Beatrice who walked up to the two with a rather annoyed face and started talking about something before turning around. Was that a 'humph' sound at the end?

Well, whatever it was she did, the two walked away with defeated looks on their faces.
