Chapter 1-0 -Red-

South Warden, Wardenlicht, Neo-Atlantis

Autumn 686 A.E. (Anno Eclissi)

“Damn! I’m late!” an energetic boy run very fast on the sidewalk, his movements while avoiding pedestrians are very agile.

His North Warden Academy uniform and his shiny black hair waver when he run, his appearance make him the center of attention. His blue sky eyes is beautiful, his face is very handsome just like descendants of gods, his charming smile tempting every women who see him. His height is standard for a boy at his age, his body is slender but a bit muscular that matches with his handsome face.

The handsome boy's running stopped when the traffic lights showed a red light, that's when he saw his own messy appearance, even his belt is still not properly attached. When he was tidying his appearance, he accidentally saw the watch used by a man next to him who was also waiting for the traffic lights.

“Ah ffu ….” The handsome boy almost said rude word because panicking.

Suddenly he disappeared without a trace, just disappeared as if he didn’t exist. But no one who saw it surprised because it’s normal, lot of people have special abilities nowadays.

Wardenlicht, one of six major region of Neo-Atlantis, is located in northwest and become the second largest region after Andestia. In Wardenlicht, there are two special schools established by the world alliance.

North Warden Academy or NWA in short, is one of two special school in Wardenlicht. NWA is a combination of junior high school and senior high school for student who have special abilities from all around the world.

“Huft, save!” the handsome boy teleported into school backyard. He walked casually like he didn't do anything because no one saw him.

But unfortunately he was not too lucky because a teacher suddenly appear from back door to caught him.

“Schveir Arthems, how many times do I have to tell you not to use your abilities without permission in school area,” said the teacher firmly. His firmness didn't match with his pale face and thick eye bags.

“Sorry, but I have to or I'll be late.” The handsome boy try to looking for reason.

“Don't make trouble on your first day of high school, Eir. Now go to the hall, opening ceremony is about to start.”

“Okay mister Orea, thanks,” Eir, nickname of the handsome boy, smile happily then rushed to the hall.

Orea, that gloomy teacher, can only sighing.

All NWA students already sit down on their chair, Eir who gets the front seat walk with a big smile, almost everyone in hall know him as The Prince of Olympus, grandson of the Greek God leader’s legacy holder and the only man

who can use almost all type of mythical and science phenomenon in the world.

When the teacher who became the Master of Ceremony advanced to the podium, every student who had been talking was immediately silent. Opening speech from the school principal followed by the student council president went well, then the host announces additional speech from new student representatives.

"Let's us welcome, Schveir Arthems."

Eir looked left and right, he was not informed about this, but he already get up and facing back to recpect bow in the direction of the students and respect bow once again in the direction of the teachers. His manner and confidence is very high, his charming smile make many girls almost screaming hysterically.

Eir went to the podium without hesitation.

“Ehm,” Eir tidied up his collar.

“Hello guys, I don’t know what should I say, it seems like I don't need to introduce myself either. Maybe all I can say now is … let's enjoy school,” he said excitedly, once again he smile widely.

Loud applause heard from the students, some students even whistled.

Eir waving his hand before stepping down from the podium. The host immediately announced the last speech.

“And for the final speech, let's welcome, Lord Gradinos Arthems.”

The students whispered loudly, even some teacher look surprised. Basically, the name just mentioned is the legacy holder of the highest Greek god Zeus and grandfather of Schveir Arthems. Eir who had just returned to his seat was not surprised, he already knew.

The coming of Gradinos Arthems, leader of the Olympia alliance, an alliance of legacy holder of the Greek mythology, make this year a special year for NWA. Usually the last welcome speech at the beginning of new school year is only attended by representatives of certain alliances, not the main member of alliance.

The appearance of Gradinos from backstage make the hall atmosphere feel solemn, no one dare to talk. Even though he is over seventy years old, he still has a large and muscular body, truly similar to the god he inherited. His

appearance is very similar to Zeus with white hair and long beard, but he wears a suit to look more human.

Before Gradinos starting his speech, he glance at Eir. Of course Eir responded with a big smile so that his grandfather was happy, the only reason his grandfather agree to be invited by the school is because of Eir.

Without Eir, the school would not be able to present a figure as big as Gradinos.

After the welcoming ceremony, all new students are advised to go to their classes. In highschool classroom 1-1, Eir became the center of attention, everyone wants to be friends with him even students from other classes. His high spirits and friendly nature make the classroom atmosphere more cheerful.

But not everyone likes Eir.

Those who don't like him are students who feel that Eir is spreading his fame even though he's already famous, but no one of them brave enough to bother Eir, they know Eir is the strongest man alive. It was common knowledge that Eir was even stronger than the legacy holder of all mythological legends.

One of few people who didn't like Eir came to Eir's attention, she is the quiet girl who sits in the corner of classroom. Eir know her and of course the quiet girl knew Eir, not acquainted directly but because Eir was known by all NWA middle and high school students.

Eir wants to say hello but it’s not possible at this time.

Until finally school time ends, all students are free to go home. When the quiet girl wear her scarf then walk out from classroom, Eir immediately said goodbye to the students who were around him.

Eir tried to chase her along the corridor.

“Hey wait!” Eir called the quiet girl but she’s not responded.

Eir ran not too fast to catch up to the quiet girl.

“Wait please,” ask Eir.

Finally the quiet girl stopped but someone suddenly interrupt.

She is a very pretty girl, her jet-black hair beautifully unraveled. She’s blocking Eir who wants to approach the quiet girl. When the quiet girl looked back, at that moment suddenly the beautiful girl with black hair stood on tiptoes to kiss Eir's lips.

The quiet girl and everyone who happened to see that scene surprised, even Eir himself.

“Wha-what was that?” Eir stepped back.

“Greetings, prince Arthems.”

The beautiful girl saluted by lifting the side of her skirt then nodded slightly, like a welcome from a noblewoman. The quiet girl put on an annoyed face then walk away quickly.

The confused Eir couldn't prevent the quiet girl from leaving, but Eir also can't be angry at the beautiful girl in front of him. Because Eir know who she is.

“What you doing, Kaguya Mitsurugi?”

“Just welcoming you,” the beautiful girl named Kaguya Mitsurugi showing a sweet smile from her red lips.

“I mean, why you do that?” Eir touch his lips.

“Do what?” Kaguya teased Eir.

“Ki-kiss, why you suddenly kiss me?”

“Like I said, welcoming you.”

Eir confused what else to say. Kaguya approach Eir for whispering.

"She's a devil, it's better if you don't approach her.”

Kaguya step back, smile again then just leaving Eir who is still confused.
