For their final destination, they were taken to the dormitories. They were outside of the main school building but still inside of the school''s territory, meaning it was most likely just as safe.


    "The boys'' dormitory is on this side," Said the teacher as she pointed at the dormitory on the right side.


    "The girl''s dormitory is on this side." Said the teacher as she pointed at the dormitories on the far left.


    "Boys, I rmend you don''t try to pull anything or get your hopes up. And girls... The school isn''t against dating, which is why it''s co-ed, but do keep your boyfriends away from the dormitories." She continued.


    There was a strange awkward silence in the air, but everyone nodded.


    "Good, I won''t be giving you a tour on the inside, but just know you have all already been assigned to a room. As long as you can follow simple instructions which will be given to you, you''ll be able to reach your room without any issues. You can do that, right?" She asked.


    Everyone nodded.


    That being said, the dormitories were pretty big, not as big as the school, but just from the outside alone, John could tell that it was luxurious.


    The brown-haired guy had been behaving this whole time too, John didn''t know why but he felt like he should keep an eye on him.


    "Today, you''ll be acquainted with your homeroom teacher and it will be simple introductions. You''ll be split up into sses based on ranking, as I''m sure most of you know. And within these rankings, you will undergo lessons that suit your aptitude. Are there any questions?" She asked.


    There was only silence.


    "Know that you are not the students, there are second years and third years and they live in separate dormitories in other areas, although I''m sure that''smon sense." The teacher exined.


    ''Well, we did see quite a few other students during the tour.'' John thought.


    "You might noticeter on that most are away right now." She added.


    Or so she said, but she never said why.


    Shortly after, just like she said, they were split into groups, the alpha ss, the B ss, the C ss, and up.


    There were 6 in the alpha ss, John, Victor, Ariel, Serena, the ck-haired boy, and an extra that wasn''t announced in the top 5 in the exam, the brown-haired kid.


    He must be special if the school were to put him in the alpha without him taking the exam. But John didn''tment on it or question it, although there were a few people who didn''t seem too happy about it.


    Each group had one guard, and after everyone had grouped up, they escorted them to their sses. Walking around the school was tiring, and because of his master, John wasn''t allowed to strengthen my body with magic.


    Although John didn''t need to do that but now that he thought about it, he had always relied on magic strengthening rather than his own strength.


    ''No wonder there were so many people that could overpower me in strength…'' John realized.


    "We''ve arrived," Said the guard after stopping in front of a ssroom, The Sign read 1-A.


    Without wasting any time, they all walked inside.


    As they walked in, John noticed that there were other students already inside along with a teacher. The students all seemed to be paying close attention to the teacher, aside from a few who looked uninterested.


    There were around 10 other students in total.


    "New students? Take a seat wherever you like." Said the teacher.


    Their teacher was a guy with ab coat. The expression of drowsiness could be seen all over his face and he had dark circles under his eye. His ck hair was a bit messy and his beard was unshaved. He didn''t seem to care much about his appearance.


    They nodded and took a seat on the open desks. John chose a seat near the window and moved up one to the right so that Serena and Ariel could sit next to him.


    Victor sat in front and the ck-haired boy sat away from us all, John didn''t remember hearing him say a single word today.


    "As you can see, we have new students, Uhm, it''s the first day for most of you, some came from the exam, others were personally invited, that''s fine. Anyhow, since we''re all here, let''s start with introductions," He said.


    No one said anything.


    "Does no one want to go first? It''ll be your turn, eventually."


    "Sure I''ll go," Said a familiar voice.


    It was the brown-haired guy from earlier.


    "*Clears throat* Since we''ll be ssmates from now, I''ll make things clear, One day I''ll be the strongest magician, you''re looking at the next Magic King."


    ''Magic king? What''s that?'' John thought.


    The whole ss was silent, the expressions on their face said it all, first impressions mattered the most, and now he''ll most likely bebelled off as a crazy weird kid.


    ''But if he''s in the alpha ss... There''s obviously something special to him.'' John surmised.


    "A-Alright, who''s next?"


    One after the other, students quickly got up and sat back down after introducing themselves. They weren''t as motivated as the first guy, that''s for sure.


    When it got to the ck-haired boy''s turn, he spoke,


    "Kuro," he muttered before sitting back down.


    "Kuro, that''s a nice name, next." Said the teacher.


    Next was Victor.


    "I''m Victor." He said before sitting back down.


    "I-I see... next."


    "Serena."


    "Nice name, regarding that hat..."


    Serena never took her hat off, unless it was just the 3 of them. She continued to wear it even after they had found out she was a half-elf.


    "Actually, never mind, next." Said the teacher.


    "I''m Ariel."


    "Okay, next." He continued.


    "I''m John."


    "And we''re done. Honestly, I''m surprised how unmotivated and tired you guys look."


    ''You''re one to talk.'' John inwardly chided.


    "Well, you''re going to be sitting around in this ssroom for the rest of the day, so you might as well get cozy. Oh and, I''ll be exining to you how sses will work.." Said the teacher.
