Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?!

Chapter 13: Chapter 13 - My official first day in the academe

Having a lot of things happening to me, I suddenly felt tired while looking into my inherited memories and staring at the face that I was given in this life. I proceed to making sure my illusion spell to cover my looks is in place, not that it would work on that guy outside since he already saw my real face. I returned to bed and slept again.

The sudden lethargy is not a surprise though since I was quite busy. I moved from one world to another then went around as a soul, went through that super realistic dream and later, using up my mana for the illusion spell.

When the morning came, although I am awake, I made sure not to open my eyes carelessly. I felt around using the little mana I have regained after sleeping and found that nobody is beside my bed. This is just perfect!

I slowly opened my eyes then sat up and left the infirmary bed. I walked towards the door and saw the old lady nurse and thanked her for letting me stay in the infirmary.

As I walked out, I slowly made my way through the corridor to the student admissions office. I already know where it is since I went around as a soul yesterday. I went in and found a middle-aged man sitting at a table near the door.

I immediately approached him and politely asked, ”I am a new student that just came in yesterday. It is a little late but I want to know the admission process or is there anything else I need to do?”

The elderly man looked at me for a few seconds and just handed me a booklet and several pieces of paper. He then said, ”You’re not late. There is a 2-week period that you don’t have classes and just need to settle in. The classes will then start after that period. It is just day 2 out of your 14-day time off. That booklet contains the school rules. These papers are how the the curriculum looks like and shows a list of choices of extra subjects that you can take if you want to. It is totally optional. There’s also the map of the campus.”

I responded with a smile and said, ”Thank you, sir. I have not been assigned an attendant yet and my mana wasn’t tested too. I am the one who passed out you see?”

The man replied, ”Yes, I was advised about you. It is good that you have woken up. For the mana, you can go to the room for magic classes. There should be an attendant there to assist you. For the attendants, they are currently in a briefing session so you may need to choose your attendant in the afternoon. You have also been assigned your own room so just check the map. I marked it for you.” I thanked him again and went out of the door.

After I went out the door, I looked onto the papers that were given to me to look for the direction of where the magic classes were held. I passed by a few women in casual clothes. They must be students that are on their 2-week break just like me.

They looked at me, some out of curiousity, some with indifference and mostly of disgust since I guess they know that I was the weakling that passed out after the summoning ritual. I ignored them. I don’t have energy for the cannon-fodders (Author’s Note: Did she just call everybody else cannon-fodders LOL).

I finally reached the door where the magic classes were being held since I felt that this is the best time. I need to just get my mana tested while it was at its lowest so as to stay low profile. I knocked on the wooden door and somebody with a melodious female voice answered, ”Come in!”.

I slowly walked in and immediately stated what I needed, ”I need to get my mana tested. I’m the new student who just woke up.”

The female attendant then led me to what looks like a glass ball for fortune tellers that I only saw in movies. I walked near it and put my hand on it as I was instructed. The ball lit up and a small orb of light appeared in the middle of the glass ball for a few seconds then it disappeared.

I looked at the young woman and she failed to hide her surprise and disgust in her face. She then said, ”Though barely there, let’s just say you are rank 1. The range is from no mana for normal humans then rank 1 till 10. 10 being the highest rank for mages. They are only heard of in legends. The highest ranking mage in this kingdom is 7. Do you need anything else?”

The last question was obviously to get me out of the room the soonest. I simply said, ”Thanks”. I immediately left since she doesn’t want me there. I guess she thought I was useless as being someone with very little mana.

I looked down on the papers I was given and decided to look for my room this time. With this map and my ocular inspection in soul form yesterday, finding my way wasn’t so hard. I immediately found my room and was happy to see that it was simple but had everything I needed.

I opened the box on the bed and saw that there were uniforms in it. After opening the box, I saw the uniforms float and immediately place themselves in the dresser. Magic really makes everything convenient!

I laid on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling. I started to think on what I can do with my time and thought of the library. I have to learn as much as I could about this world so let’s start with my favorite hobby, reading. I don’t have issues understanding what the people here are saying though I clearly know they are not speaking in English so I guess I would be able to read books just fine as well.
