I'm next in line to get scolded aren't I?
I suppose I could use this moment to test out my ability.
Am I to be scolded by this man?
Snap.
The man got tinted a slight blue.
Phew.
"Yes I am."
"Your seat is right there" he said, while pointing towards a chair in the second row.
I gave out another sigh of relief, a stressful situation regardless.
Judging from his relaxed manner, I doubt he had any anger directed towards me, he didn't think much of the random snap.
I sat myself upon the chair, making myself comfortable on the chair made of finely carved wood and velvet cushions, the chair looked awfully fancy without looking tacky in the least bit, demonstrating the royal standard.
There were about five minutes before classes began.
In the meanwhile, everybody was introducing themselves to eachother.
Not like I've anything better to do.
"Hello there, what's your name? Mine's Ishott," I was a tad nervous, hoping the person I was talking to was bearable.
She sat right next to me, so it'd be awfully disappointing if she was a blighter.
"Hello...? I'm Aerié," She said with an awkward descending tone.
"Cool,"
"Could you show me your ID?"
ID? I don't remember getting an ID.
"What ID?"
"You mustn't have collected it from the teacher's desk, go take one."
I got up from my seat slightly confused, towards the messy desk at the front of the class.
The students were rambling on and on as they do, somewhat surprising to be this chatty on the first day of school though.
There was a little tray on the desk which contained small metal balls that loooked like a less shiny form of gold.
These can't be the IDs right?
I grabbed one nonetheless.
I scurried back to my seat.
"Is this the 'ID'?"
"It is, just send some Vis through it and say your name"
Magic IDs!?
After a little reflection, that actually makes perfect sense.
How... does one, 'send' vis through something?
Should I ask her?
No, it wouldn't make sense for a person taking this course to not know something so simple.
Have to find out myself I suppose.
I took a slow breath in.
Move. Come on.
Nothing.
What now?
I could try copying those novels I've read.
The characters always calm themselves down.
Then they try to allow the vis to 'flow'.
I felt it budge. It felt like a thick syrup was flowing through my body from my upper torso through the arm and collecting in my palm, triggering a sharp burning sensation as it went.
I winced at the pain.
It's collected in my palm, now I've to release it.
The vis felt caged within me, refusing to leave.
I pushed on. After about 5 seconds it started pouring out.
Not a pleasant experience that's for sure.
Now for the name.
"Ishott Entrigeur!"
The metal sphere began moulding itself into a medallion.
The newly formed medallion was in the shape of the school's crest; a giant crow with four wings and six eyes known as the Corvidix.
A perfectly normal bird, no?
"Looks like you're done with that."
"Just tap it twice and your ID will pop up"
I did as instructed.
A hologram of my ID was created by the medallion.
"You wanted my ID?"
"Yeah, just tap the friend request button and send it to 1-1-B252-1"
This is basically a proto-mobile! The technology here is far better than anything industrial-era Europe could've made, admittedly they cheat with the use of magic.
She clicked a couple buttons and my screen told me that I got added.
Perhaps this world isn't all that different from mine.
"Alright, I've accepted, now what?"
"Er... It's just something you do, I suppose?"
This world really isn't different from mine.
"Another thing you can do is join a student union, though you should probably do that later during the formal sign-ups."
"Er, sure I guess."
The students seem to have unionised?!
There are multiple unions too?
I'm thinking of the wrong type of union, aren't I?
A bell rang.
"Greetings class!" The teacher said, putting class in session.
