Finally, Central Imperial Island-- Imperial Knights Academy.Ever since 3am, it's been a total of five hours ever since I travel across the ocean, on the X-586 helicopter.I'm quite fed-up.Ignoring the warnings from the pilot while I unbuckled my seat-belt, I jumped off from the helicopter without a parachute, where it's 8000 feet high in the sky.After diving across the sky to search for an appropriate spot to land, with my sense of equilibrium, I flip my body and land with my feet......while creating a hole on the pathway with my shoes half-sunken into the ground.Damn, the tiles are more fragile than I thought.The spot I land is the main path towards the main gates of Imperial Knights Academy, where the back of it is the path to the city.Like a forest, the sides of the path is covered by thick trees.No one would catch me in an act of vandalism on destroying the pathway..................."Gargh...!

Instincts, intuitions, and sixth sense, though similar, but they are three completely different things.   When you decide something and act without a need to think, that's instinct. When you understand something without the need for conscious reasoning, that`s intuition. When you were given awareness that's not explicable in terms of normal perception, that`s sixth sense.   My instinct only kicks in during dangerous situations, especially in a matter of life and death. My intuition acts on solving problems and escapes, especially when dealing with an awkward atmosphere. My sixth sense is active when I`m in combat mode, especially against sneak attacks.   I placed all three of them under the same category— gut feeling.   There are certain situations where someone would tell you to ‘trust your gut’ or ‘listen to what your gut tells you’. But your gut is actually a part o

From what Persia explained, Imperial Knights Academy is a school that has implemented unique, first-in-the world educational systems. It is a school that is outfitted with the newest and most exuberant facilities. Of course, it is a very harsh school. If one wants to have a decent learning environment, then one must get good grades. This is the fate of the students who attend the academy. Their fate was decided by two main systems. Firstly, the class division system. Their class division is determined based upon the results of the enrolment test, which we have the paper test and practical fight test. According to their scores, the students are assigned to one of the sixteen classes, from Class S, the best, to Class C-6, the worst. For the paper test, the students with an overall mark between 0 and 39 are ranked C, 40 to 59 are ranked B, 60 to 79 are ranked A, 80 to 100 are ranked S. Though, there`s an interview session included, and most of the marks were given by the principal (whi

The feared situation. …It came again. There's definitely no way I'm getting out of this anytime soon. Not mentally for that either. Calm down, me. Calm down. There`s still a long way to go. Though we will eventually reach there sooner or later, there's still time for me to prepare my heart. By the way, both of us are halfway on our way to the lift, carried by the conveyor belt. Persia and I didn't talk much after her declaration, so it felt awkward as we stood on the conveyor belt, avoiding eye contact. The main reason for this awkwardness to happen is because of me. I felt extremely troubled. Persia, who was extremely observant, chose to keep her silence because she knew I was distressed. But here's one thing. Though she knew I was distressed, yet that grin she's been hanging on her face is excessively annoying. My face twitches out of irritation when

The development is so entirely in context that I can only apologize, apparently ever since Persia left, I had been standing near the glass door— without moving an inch for more than 30 seconds already. And Kuroyuki ignored my existence completely by reading her book silently, not even bothering to take up her guard towards me. Yet, she does not have any openings. …Scary. Is this the confidence of the strongest student? Unlike Persia Silverlight— Kuroyuki Shiroha doesn't seem to be the interactive type. Awkwardness and tension has no meaning to her, because she's the one who created them instead. I would be feeling a whole lot less stressed if they had just left me by myself. Being in an isolated environment as I usually am, would make me feel more at ease. …The sound of a page of her book flipping was so dreadfully slow that I could
