?An alarm would start to ring right beside my bed. I can almost hear how annoyingly loud it is.

  ?

  ?I slowly sat up from my bed and stretched my arms along with my back, already hearing some of the cracking sounds that lead to relief.

  ?

  ?A sigh of satisfaction came out after. I then moved my hand to turn off the alarm, seeing it was now 7 AM. A bit earlier than my usual routine, but I have to start preparing while I monologue.

  ?

  ?I stood up from my bed and grabbed a new pair of clothes, which were a black shirt and some black shorts. I planned to go back to that place to practice my skills as always.

  ?

  ?Although it has been a long time ever since I started living alone. It all started when I was 15. My mother called me, telling me that I'll be living alone due to her work needing her to be overseas.

  ?

  ?Apparently, I overheard that it was an expedition for something very important. I didn't expect her to be gone this long. I even remember the time I cried when she was leaving the house. How embarrassing...

  ?

  ?I headed outside the room, going to the bathroom, which was nearby my room. I entered and washed my face with just water. Who needs more than water anyway?

  ?

  ?I then grabbed my toothbrush. I turn on the sink and wash it thoroughly before putting on some toothpaste as I brush my teeth.

  ?

  ?But after my mother left, I've been taking good care of myself. She sends me an allowance that is... Questionable. For some reason, I get 100K Mons per month. And the currency here went from bronze to silver to gold. To paper mons. I still find it odd that my mother sends that much.

  ?

  ?I'm just glad to see and know that she's safe by sending me money. If it stops... Then I should expect the worst. I then finished brushing my teeth. I gargled some water and spat it out in the sink as I grabbed a towel to wipe the water on my face from earlier.

  ?

  ?I head out of the bathroom and back into my room, beginning to change my clothes into the newly prepared ones.

  ?

  ?Forgot to mention that I finished my father's written works. Never expected magic to be that complicated, so it surprised me at first, but I did manage to learn a lot. I can control my M-Cells freely without needing to concentrate. And I don't think I'll find any trouble about wasting magic due to my magic core being trained for 13 years.

  ?

  ?A lot has happened ever since that incident years ago. Cash still lives next door to me, so he and I have been hanging out ever since childhood. I have to admit, he's annoyingly good at console games.

  ?

  ?It's been 18 years now. Ever since I got reincarnated into this new era. I've gotten accustomed to it. Learned the new laws and basic general knowledge. And to find a job. The issue is, I don't think I'll be needing any work when my mother sends that much money...

  ?

  ?I then noticed that I'd just been monologuing while already being completely dressed. I must have been missing the old days...

  ?

  ?I miss you, mother. I really hope you get home soon.

  ?

  ?And just as I said that in my head, I heard a knock on the door.

  ?

  ?Without hesitation, I disappeared from my room and reappeared in front of the entrance door. My speed was questionable, but no time for that! Could this be mother?...

  ?

  ?I looked at the mirror just beside me, seeing it hanging on the wall as usual. I noticed that I've gotten more masculine. Healthy as always. My hair still having the tiny white bits at the edge is a sign from my past life. Hairstyle, messy without a care. No facial hair, clean. Height resting at a good 5'10". Okay! I look good.

  ?

  ?I gulped nervously. It's been years since mother returned... I wonder what she looks like! Probably older, but I shouldn't say that to her. I compose myself, trying to hide the happiness and excitement on my face. I open the door...

  ?

  ?And see two people wearing pure black suits instead. A man and a woman. The man had slicked-back brown hair and dark glasses that covered his eyes. The woman had red hair that had a wolf-cut hairstyle. It looked pretty.

  ?

  ?The man then asked me, "Is this the Keyston household? And are you Toki Keyston, son of Rin and Oracle Keyston?" in a serious tone. I've seen enough movies to know that they're from the government.

  ?

  ?"Uh... Yes. I'm Toki Keyston. If you're asking about my mother, she's working overseas. My father... Well, you already know." I jokingly said, trying to keep the mood uplifted and positive.

  ?

  ?The man then walked forward, putting a hand on my shoulder. It didn't seem hostile or dangerous, so I let him do it, and then he spoke, "I'm sorry... But your mother, Oracle, has passed—"

  ?

  ?Before he could even finish his sentence, a heavy blow was directed to his stomach. And it came from the woman next to him. I looked confused and rather terrified...

  ?

  ?"You dumb nitwit! How many times have I told you not to use that joke?!" The woman beside him said. He was already on the ground, curled up like a ball, covering his head as he spoke weakly.

  ?

  ?"I– I thought it'd be funny!" He said, trying to reason his way out. But was only met with stomps on his body. Surprisingly, it wasn't dirtying his suit.

  ?

  ?The red-haired woman sighed, composing herself as she looked at me with a gentle smile, speaking to me in a kinder tone compared to him, "Sorry about that, kid. I'm Label. He's Triston. We're from the government, and we're also your mother's friends. That's why this buffoon... Thought joking about your mother was a good idea."

  ?

  ?"Don't worry, it wasn't..." I paused, looking down to see Triston still curled up like a ball. How hard did she punch him? I looked back at her while nodding with a kind smile as I continued, "A problem. But is he okay?" I asked, worried about the damage he sustained.

  ?

  ?"Nothing to worry about, kid. He's a tanky guy. He should be able to endure that much damage." Label answered confidently. But by the looks of it, Triston is just cowering on the entrance mat.

  ?

  ?A sigh came out of my mouth before kneeling down on one knee. I pressed my hand against Triston's back before casting a simple basic spell, "Regu Heal." I chanted, beginning to heal Triston's injury, even if it wasn't much.

  ?

  ?I stood back up, and Triston was surprised himself. Slowly, he stands up, while Label is also surprised. Triston was checking his body as Label asked, "Kid... Are you a healer? That's incredible! How come your mother never told us you had a skill like that?"

  ?

  ?"Well, I've mostly practiced alone ever since she went out to work overseas. A lot of books regarding magic spells, so I just studied." I answered with a nod.

  ?

  ?"Kid." Triston then looked at me seriously, his hand resting on his chin as he asked, "What school did you go to? What academy?"

  ?

  ?"I... Never went into any." I chuckled, embarrassed that I never had any experience in a school life. Let alone know what it's like to be one.

  ?

  ?After I answered. Both Triston and Label looked at each other and nodded. Are they communicating through their minds? I thought to myself. Then Label asks, "Well, we're not here for your mother. We're here for you. Can we talk?"

  ?

  ?—

  ?

  ?I had prepared three cups of coffee along with a bowl of sugar cubes. Bringing it on a tray as I set it down on the coffee table with Triston and Label sitting on the couch, I then spoke, "Go ahead, you're my guests, so it's only natural I offer you some beverages." I offered kindly. Grabbing my cup of coffee, as they do as well, letting it rest on the coffee table.

  ?

  ?I sat down on a one-person couch, asking them, "So why did you guys come here if it wasn't for my mother?"

  ?

  ?Triston replied, "It's about your experience, kid. Your mother told us that you never went to school, and we thought she was kidding. But it looks like she isn't."

  ?

  ?Label continued, "That is why we're here. Your mother informed us that when you turn or become 18, you have to go to the academy that is currently going to be open this month in Apri."

  ?

  ?"An... Academy? Are you talking about?..." I couldn't believe it myself. I know what academy they were talking about. It's the—

  ?

  ?"Magi Cademy." Triston said. It was the newly made academy that was going to be open for the people and other species to partake in, whether they wanted to or not.

  ?

  ?I remember watching it in the news years ago. The president of this country had spoken about it, and that was the name he came up with. I don't think anyone found it catchy or cool at all, our president has a bad habit of naming things horribly.

  ?

  ?"Wait, are you telling me you want me to participate in the Magi Cademy?" I asked both Triston and Label. Label then answered.

  ?

  ?"Yes, Toki. Your mother believes that you could be an astounding hero just like your father was years ago... She trusts that you will be stronger and maybe make a name for yourself and be this country's hero."

  ?

  ?I didn't know what to say but just felt...

  ?

  ?Excited. I never expected to have this opportunity! I've always been preparing, exercising, practicing, and training myself to be the new hero of this era. I know that I've been reincarnated for a reason... And this was it.

  ?

  ?I then paused, asking, "What about the payment—"

  ?

  ?"You're free of charge. The president had a talk with your mother about you being the son of Rin Keyston. Why, you already made a name for yourself to the president, bud." Triston answered while smirking. It kind of feels weird being noticed by the president of this country... Reminds me of when the King back then kept pestering me to marry his daughter. Of course I rejected it.

  ?

  ?"Seriously? Well, I owe my thanks to the president. But wouldn't it be problematic for a hero's son to partake in the academy? I know it's been years ever since the Demon Princess incident, and nothing has happened for the past few years..." I was feeling rather unsure. If I were there, wouldn't it just cause more trouble for the people of this country? Or is this a chance I should take...

  ?

  ?I clenched my fist tightly. Unsure and confused about this situation. Until I felt Label's hand on mine. Looking at me with a warm smile as she spoke, "I know it's hard, kid. But trust us. We'll make sure you and the students are protected, alright?"

  ?

  ?Hearing that made me calm down. I was right. I shouldn't be overthinking things. Just because I was the hero from the past doesn't mean I have to do everything.

  ?

  ?I sighed and nodded, smiling back at Label as I responded, "You're right... Sorry. I shouldn't complicate things."

  ?

  ?Triston took a sip from his cup of coffee, feeling refreshed as he asked me, "Damn kid! This is one tasty coffee! What brand do you use?"

  ?

  ?Label cleared her throat. Trying to make Triston read the current tension of the room. Triston looked at Label confused, asking her, "What? Can't a guy ask for the coffee so he can drink it more?"

  ?

  ?I couldn't help but chuckle from what he said. It almost reminds me of the banter that Dent and Darky do whenever it comes to food. These two are almost similar to them.

  ?

  ?I then answered his question, "Oh, it's Coppresso."

  ?

  ?When I answered, the tension in the room became weird. Both Label and Triston froze. Shocked and baffled by what they heard from me. I didn't know what was wrong with it, so I continued to speak.

  ?

  ?"I always see mother getting that coffee ready early in the morning. And when I grew older and a bit taller. I began preparing her that coffee whenever I woke up early before her."

  ?

  ?"Seriously... Your mother with her coffee addiction..." Label spoke, her tone of voice being uncomfortable.

  ?

  ?"Yeah, Label... I feel offended that she drinks this regularly... Right?" Triston said. Now feeling bad about drinking the coffee just by the look on his face... It was disappointment.

  ?

  ?Unsure, I asked, "Is there something wrong?"

  ?

  ?Label then sat back down on the couch beside Triston. She answered, "The coffee that you served us is made by the top 1 coffee branches of the world... Made not here. But in the country of the elves, Poin."

  ?

  ?Triston then continued, putting the cup of coffee down on the table, "They don't make regular coffee there at all... They make heavenly ones. And this itself is the highest form of all coffees."

  ?

  ?Hearing all of this. I was just so confused. I looked to see the both of them now feeling dread and guilt. It's like they got their lives sucked out of them.

  ?

  ?"So about me going to the academy... When do I have to go?" I asked, trying to change the topic.

  ?

  ?The two of them then snapped out of it. Composing themselves as Triston spoke, "We also came here for another reason..."

  ?

  ?"That is?" I asked, curious what it was.

  ?

  ?—

  ?

  ?Currently, I find myself sitting in between Label and Triston in a car. How did I get myself into a situation like this? Well...

  ?

  ?After Triston told me what the other reason was. The two of them brought out a uniform that was made for me specifically. Apparently... The opening ceremony of the Magi Cademy is today. And I'm the one that's going to be giving the speech.

  ?

  ?I looked down to check the uniform itself. It was colored purple along with some black coloring on the collar. And a blue tie to come with it. The buttons on the uniform are colored purple as well to match the scheme. And the pants are fitting enough for my height. Still colored purple, of course.

  ?

  ?The sleeves of the uniform being long. Despite the summer heat in this country. It's surprisingly cool and chilly. I looked to my side to check the mirror and take a look at myself.

  ?

  ?My hair being messy. I tried to fix it, but Triston then told me, "Don't fix it, kid. It looks good on ya." While giving me a thumbs up and a bright smile.

  ?

  ?I couldn't help but nod and smile back. As I relaxed on my seat. Label then spoke. "So what's your speech going to be?"

  ?

  ?"I don't really know? I've never done a speech before..." Of course, I'm lying. I've done a speech to a town. A kingdom. And an army. It's nothing new to me. But it kind of is nerve-wracking.

  ?

  ?"Just make sure you say something uplifting and positive towards the students! I'm sure they'll love it." She said while smiling at me.

  ?

  ?I still feel unsure about what to say. After all, I am the son of the legendary Rin Keyston. I then heard the driver in front of us say, "We're here."

  Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

  ?

  ?Both Label and Triston opened the door. Exiting out of the car, I followed them.

  ?

  ?And I couldn't believe my eyes. The moment I stepped out, the sun shone beneath me and on my eyes. Slightly blinding me.

  ?

  ?Then I saw the academy. It was huge. Almost similar to a castle. Huge walls covering the area, along with multiple personnel patrolling the entrance.

  ?

  ?Multiple buildings everywhere; it's as if this were made for people that can practice and study magic however they want. But if I remember, this academy was made specifically to find the next hero.

  ?

  ?I felt more determined, clutching my fist tightly. I then saw other students walking inside the huge entrance. How tall do you need the entrance to be?

  ?

  ?And at the side, I saw a train stopping by, dropping off some students. I couldn't believe that transportation could be that easy. That's also the horribly named Super Train that the president made...

  ?

  ?I then asked, "So where do I go—" I turned around to see Triston and Label gone along with the car. I sighed, looking back at the academy entrance and at the tall building itself.

  ?

  ?"Now or never." I said to myself before putting my hands in my pants pockets and walking towards the entrance, many other students doing so. I can see that we guys have the same uniform.

  ?

  ?But when I saw the uniform for the girls. I couldn't help but feel... Weirded out by it. The top of the uniform is similar to ours, sure. The bottom part? A short skirt? Who designed this?

  ?

  ?I shouldn't be complaining about this in the first place. Let the parents and the girls trouble themselves with that, not me.

  ?

  ?And as I continued walking, I heard a commotion near the gates. A tall guy was making a fuss. He was talking to a purple-haired girl.

  ?

  ?3RD POV.

  ?

  ?Toki couldn't help but stop and stare at the commotion he was seeing. The other students didn't even bother noticing it, and the personnel that were patrolling are gone as well. Is the new generation this cruel? He thought to himself.

  ?

  ?The purple-haired girl then spoke in a panic, "I told you! It was only a one-time thing! Nothing more than that!"

  ?

  ?"Come on... I know there's something deeper! Something... Passionate." The guy spoke in a questionable flirty tone. His hand moved to touch her until she moved away from him.

  ?

  ?"Ew! Go away, you creep!" She spoke loudly enough for the students to hear. This immediately shattered the guy's heart. If there's one thing, a guy hates being called. It's the word creep.

  ?

  ?She composed herself and walked away, her long, silky purple hair swaying side to side as she walked. While the guy behind her was beginning to tremble and shake as he muttered, "If you're not going to listen... Then I'll make you listen." Enraged, the guy then ran towards her to attack.

  ?

  ?She hasn't noticed it yet, not until the last second. She turned around to see him covering his hand with magic, enough to injure or even crack her skull.

  ?

  ?Until Toki stepped in. Before he could even hit her. He got in the way. Blocking his attack with his left hand by grabbing it easily, without even covering his arm in magic, he spoke, "Woah, there. You know you shouldn't hit a lady, right?" Sounding rather irritated.

  ?

  ?The guy was caught off guard, pulling his arm away, which Toki easily blocked. He didn't realize what he was doing until now, as if his emotions had gotten the best of him. He then spoke worriedly, "S— Sorry... I don't know what got to me. Excuse me." The guy said and ran off.

  ?

  ?Toki was... Surprised. He thought confronting him would lead to a brawl or maybe even a fight that he usually sees in manga or shows. But it's better to admit that you were in the wrong than make it more problematic, which made him nod satisfied.

  ?

  ?Toki looked behind to check up on the purple-haired girl, asking her, "Are you alright? You didn't get hurt?"

  ?

  ?"Y— Yes, I'm fine... You. You saved me. I can't thank you enough! Maybe after the opening ceremony we can... get to know each other more?~" She said rather seductively. But Toki didn't really get it. Instead, he was focused on her eyes. He noticed that it was heart-shaped with a red color. It almost reminded him of...

  ?

  ?He noticed that he wasn't paying attention, composing himself as he chuckled, asking her, "Sorry, did you say something? I didn't hear it."

  ?

  ?She was shocked. Her attempt to woo him failed. She immediately knew something was wrong.

  ?

  ?He... He didn't get captivated?

  ?

  ?She thought to herself. Unsure who Toki was, she then asked, "Are you—" Only to be cut off by a familiar friend.

  ?

  ?"Hey there!" Cash said from behind them, having his arms around Toki and the purple-haired girl. His usual smile is still the same as his bright odd eyes. It was still the same vibrant green. The symbol signifying money. His golden hair is almost so long that it reaches the entirety of the back of his neck. Having small bangs that cover his forehead.

  ?

  ?He chuckled, pulling both of them closer before asking, "I didn't know you were a womanizer, Toki! Your mother not being home has made you more active, hm?"

  ?

  ?He teased. Toki chuckled, awkward about the fact that Cash caught him with a girl. But not for the right reason. Cash then pulled away, only leaving his arm around the girl, and then telling Toki, "Say, why don't you go on, and I'll catch up? I just have to talk with her for a bit."

  ?

  ?Toki was caught off guard, his expression surprised since he doesn't expect Cash to know this girl. But it's better than a stranger. He always was reliable. Toki nodded, waving goodbye as he ran inside. "Alright, I'll leave it to you, Cash! Thanks!"

  ?

  ?Cash would wave back, seeing Toki now heading inside the academy gates. He then asked the girl, "So, Luster, mind telling me how you and my friend met?" he said without even looking at the girl named Luster.

  ?

  ?Luster shook her head along with a sigh, removing Cash's arm around her shoulder as he pulled away. Making some distance in between them as she spoke, "He just saved me from some random dude I hooked up with. More importantly, why are YOU here?"

  ?

  ?"Why, a silly question, darling! I'm here to study and to learn! And to keep an eye on the students as well as Toki. You noticed, didn't you? He didn't get captivated." Cash said with a devilish smirk.

  ?

  ?Luster nodded, crossing her arms, then looking at the gates, thinking about Toki. "Yeah. I didn't expect one of us to be here as well. For him to be the Wrath Incarnation... He seems well-behaved."

  ?

  ?Cash replied, agreeing with her, "Of course! He is, after all... the son of the legendary hero Rin."

  ?

  ?Luster's eyes widened with surprise, turning to look at Cash as she held his shoulders, shaking him a bit roughly. "Seriously!? How is that possible!?"

  ?

  ?Cash couldn't speak until Luster stopped shaking him. Adjusting his uniform as he gestured in a confused manner, he said, "Don't ask me! The probability is very low. So for this to happen... Well, this might be interesting, don't you think so, my dear?"

  ?

  ?Luster would form a mischievous smile. "Yeah... I suppose you're right."

  ?

  ?The two of them would begin to giggle rather weirdly. Almost garnering the attention of the students walking by, with some muttering,

  ?

  ?"Are they a couple? If so, that is one creepy, freaky couple."

  ?

  ?"The purple-haired girl looks cute! I should ask her out..."

  ?

  ?"That boy looks handsome! I bet he's rich!"

  ?

  ?"He's rich, but I doubt he'll date someone like you. Also, you'll get rejected if you try asking that girl out, man."

  ?

  ?"Screw you, dude."

  ?

  ?Cash then snapped it out, his attention turning towards Luster as he asked confusedly, "By the way, why are you a female? The last time I saw you, you were a male."

  ?

  ?Luster also snapped it out, turning to look at Cash as she chuckled, spinning around in a cute way before asking, "I figured I wanted to test some things out! Don't I look adorable?"

  ?

  ?Cash simply responded, "No. Not really."

  ?

  ?—

  ?

  ?After a couple of minutes. Many students have gathered in the gymnasium. The counting students are almost reaching 500 and above. But of course, only some will be accepted. The potential to be this era's one and only hero is important.

  ?

  ?Why not have many heroes instead? Well, due to the problems of this world having too many heroes. It will lead to catastrophe. Opposing mindsets as well as opinions make it difficult for one party to agree. So this academy's mission is to only find the one true hero that can be the same as the legendary Rin and River.

  ?

  ?Toki is currently sitting down with Cash and a random student right beside him. He asks him curiously, "I forgot to ask. You never told me you were going to this academy too. We could've gone together, you know."

  ?

  ?Cash then replied, "I was! But I saw mysterious, black-suited people at the front of your house, so I decided to leave you alone! Besides, I wouldn't want to be caught in trouble."

  ?

  ?Toki's expression changed into a disappointed one. "So you'd rather leave the scene than check it because it's suspicious... Even if your childhood friend is the victim?"

  ?

  ?"Of course!" Said by Cash confidently. "It is better to report to the authorities, is it not? And I know you are capable enough to fight back."

  ?

  ?Toki couldn't help but agree, nodding in response, "Honestly, that's valid. By the way, did you download the new Merk 8? Apparently it has a better fighting system than the old ones."

  ?

  ?Cash shook his head. "I have not found the time to play... How about we play after this ceremony?"

  ?

  ?"Sure, I don't think I have anything to do later... So I'm free!" Toki nodded, smiling brightly, but inside, there was a different feeling...

  ?

  ?I've been practicing for two days. Made sure to use the meta characters. Do optimal combos and true combos. So I can beat you, Cash.

  ?

  ?"Silence."

  ?

  ?A man spoke from the front, the way he spoke made the entire room of the gymnasium shake. He wore a brown suit with the matching brown long pants and a black tie. His hair is white and slicked back, tied up into a ponytail. He walked through the stage before stopping in the middle. He looked around to see the number of students that have gathered here at the gymnasium.

  ?

  ?He then snapped his fingers, manifesting a microphone made through magic.

  ?

  ?Woah... Item Manifestation. This guy is sick!

  ?

  ?Toki thought. As the man brought the bluish microphone to his lips, he then spoke, "May I ask where Toki Keyston is? You're needed for the opening message of this academy as the representative. Have you not been updated, young man?"

  ?

  ?Suddenly, mutters around the entire gymnasium started going wild. Almost all of the students, except Toki, Cash, and Luster, were talking.

  ?

  ?Because Toki's existence was never revealed to the public. Rin, the hero, years ago. Had never come forward with the fact that he has a child. He maintained it as a secret. And now that secret's out. Only in the academy grounds. It is prohibited that his existence be known to the public world.

  ?

  ?Some students would mutter things such as,

  ?

  ?"Keyston? Like the Keyston family? The legendary hero Rin's last name?!"

  ?

  ?"Holy... The legendary hero's son is here? How come we never knew back then?!"

  ?

  ?"Is he cute... Is he hot?! Gahhh! I need to know right now!"

  ?

  ?"I genuinely thought the hero Rin was impotent, dude... maybe even gay..."

  ?

  ?Cash then stood up and dragged Toki's arm up, causing him to stand up, now being seen by everyone, as Cash spoke loudly, "Here he is!"

  ?

  ?Toki just accepted it. Of course his best friend had to rat him out. Typical.

  ?

  ?A part of him was confident, yet another part of him was nervous and anxious about the situation. Sure, the speeches he did back then as a hero were simple. For some reason, doing it towards the people his age is odd.

  ?

  ?Toki moved to get out of his seat and walk towards the stage. His expression was cold and confident. The way he walked showed off finesse. Many students were amazed with the way he was calm.

  ?

  ?Although that's from the outside perspective. On the inside...

  ?

  ?I'm definitely making you experience a losing streak, Cash.

  ?

  ?Toki thought to himself, while Cash was pretty smug and proud about ratting him out.

  ?

  ?Luster chuckled, a small smile on her face, before muttering, "That's what you get, man. Cash is one troublemaker."

  ?

  ?Toki then walked up the stairs and arrived on the stage. All students were now eyeing him. Both in interest and curiosity. I mean, nobody expected the hero Rin to have a child in the first place.

  ?

  ?Toki was given the microphone from the man. He held it gently as he stood at the center of the stage. Looking to see how many students there are. He could even see Cash waving at him. And how irritated he was right now.

  ?

  ?He inhaled deeply, then exhaled after. He brought the microphone to his lips as he spoke.

  ?

  ?"Hello to the students of Magi Cademy. I am Toki Keyston, the son of the legendary hero, Rin Keyston. I was brought here today because I saw this as a chance... an opportunity for me to follow my father's footsteps. I've always been told that he was a great man, a phenomenal hero. And that's why I don't want to disappoint him. None of us do. I know that everyone is here for a reason, and that is to help, save, and be the hero this world needs. And that's why we're all here in Magi Cademy: to be the hero that we always dreamed of! So I hope all of us get along and that we do our best, together."

  ?

  ?Toki then moved the microphone away from his lips. He felt himself almost out of breath from talking without any stops. He looked at the students to see them being quiet. Until one started clapping... Then another, and another, until everyone started clapping. With cheers being said by the students.

  ?

  ?"Nice speech, dude! I wouldn't have done that if it were me!"

  ?
