Chapter 11 - Welcome to SHSM

Allen walked through the school gate, tucking his card in his back pocket. He saw people walking in a specific direction. He ran to follow them as other people entered the school. After about five minutes, Allen reached a shade which was where all the students had gathered. A little while later, five adults came to stand in front of them.

‎"Welcome, students, to Sylestrica Alta Schola Magicae. You're all the newest students who have applied to be in this school. This week, you'll all be taken on a tour of the school to see how everything functions. You'll all be shown your houses, house masters and mistresses, and rooms by the end of today, so let's begin with today's program." The students were then led to a grand hall at the centre of the school. They all took a seat, with Allen taking a seat in one of the middle divisions, as the five teachers joined eight other teachers on the stage. The students settled, and one of the teachers who was already on stage stood and moved to the front. "Good morning new students. Welcome to the Sylestrica's High School of Magic. I am Master Koi Korujiri, the sixteenth headmaster of this school. As Master Roichi said, you all will be shown your houses and rooms today. That process will be done by you so group yourselves at any of the four seating division of this hall. " The students started moving as others stayed where they were. Allen stayed put until all the students were seated. "So students in this institution, there are four houses, being; The Slithering Virethorn, The Ravenous Umbrawen, The Blazing Solmire, and The Soaring Aetheren. You all were given the chance to chose your house so starting from my left, all the students in the first division are in the Virethorn house. Those in the second division, you're in Umbrawen, those in the third division, you all are in Solmire, and lastly the students in the fourth division are in Aetheren. You all will be taught about your house's history and be shown your rooms but for now your housemasters and housemistresses will put your names in the registry of the house." As he said this four men and four women rose and joined him on the stage. They conjured huge books from thin air and each went to stand before their new house members to write down their names. The students formed a queue before the man or woman who stood before their division. The Masters and Mistresses opened their books and the students began the registration. "Ugh. So I'm in the Solmire house. What a bore," Allen thought as he stood up and joined the queue. All the students who wrote their names in the Solmire book instantly disappeared. "That's scary," he thought. "Where are they all disappearing to?" He nervously stood in the queue and after about forty five minutes of waiting in line, Allen finally reached the front and wrote his name in the book. In a twinkle he found himself in another room filled with students. After another half hour, the man and woman finally joined them in the room. "Hello students. Welcome to the wonderful house of The Blazing Solmire. I am Master Zorfil and this is...," he paused for the woman to answer. "Miss Marceline." she added. "Right," he said before going on. "So for today as you have already been told, You will all be taught a brief history of our house and how it has contributed to the growth of our beloved institution. After they you'll be shown your rooms. So without further ado, Miss Maeve." Zorfil turned to look at Marceline who just snapped her fingers. Within a millionth of a second the room became a theater. "Shall we begin students?" Zorfil asked as the students answered yes. "Well then, let's begin."Zorfil clapped his hands and the room went dark

‎So Belphimore was sealed away with his dark magic arts and his master, Belpigor . The school was built above the school the grounds of battle. It stands as a symbol of hope. Every year new students are trained to control their powers so that history does not repeat itself. That is what Sylestrica's High School of Magic stands for. Thank you." The video ended and the theater faded to black before regaining it's original lighting. "So how did you find that movie students." The students groaned as some of them woke from sleep." It was amazing," one student said as he yawned. "Oh really now. Then answer my question. Who was the first headmaster of The SHSM?"Zorfil asked. "Umm, umm," the student stuttered."Robert, umm no. It was Arystern, Arystor, Arys, Arys, yeah I remember. It's Arystar. The first headmaster of Sylestrica's High School of Magic is Arystar Belfrie." "You are right. Keep it up and you'll survive in this institution." Zorfil said with a smug face. "Anyway," Marceline began clapping twice. "Let's begin the last stage for the day. It's almost nighttime." The seats began rearranging themselves as the rooms lighting reverted to normal. Now I want you all to arrange yourselves according to your magic type. Starting from my left. Fire, water, earth, wind, metal, nature, music, beast, light, and dark. Come on, chop-chop. The students started moving up and about taking seat in the division that corresponded with their magic type. Zorfil and Marceline took out some sheets of papers and set some before all the divisions. "If you're all set then let's move on to the next stage," Zorfil said. He twirled his index fingers then directed them to the students. The papers then flew to each of the students. "On the sheet you hold is the list of your subjects and a student is to pick those he wants to master in and he or she must pick a minimum of five subjects. But that decision is up to you. You all have till the end of the week to submit them." The students went through the papers as gasps filled the room. "So then, for the final phase, you are to select your rooms." Marceline started. "And over here at Sylestrica High School, we seek to promote friendship so a person from each magic type is supposed to make a room so on that notice girls come with me, the males should go with Master Zorfil." Murmurs and grunts filled the room as the house parents turned their hands in a circular motion as a portal appeared before them. They turned to look at the students before saying,"Shall we."

‎"Next ten please," Zorfil said as he opened the next door. Allen walked in with nine other boys. "Well here you go," he said before closing the door. "Been long since I shared a room with other boys." Allen thought to himself. " Hey guys," one of the boys said. " I'm Lothar and I'm a wind magic. What about you all?" he asked. " I'm Ardon and I'm a nature magic," another said. " I'm Reuel and a water magic," added another. " I'm Dishon and I'm an earth magic. I'm Pagiel and I'm a beast type magic," two more boys added. "I'm Jared and a flame type magic," another added. "Well I'm Aurum a proud user of the metal magic," another added. "I'm Aisel, a music magic user. And I'm Allen, a user of light magic." "I heard only nine names, who's the dark magic here?" Reuel asked. "I'm Azriel." said a boy who was standing in the corner. "Nice to meet you all roomies. Let's get some rest and set up our room and everything tomorrow, okay." The other boys agreed as they all slept on a random bed.

‎"So I finally got to the place Orphenius wanted to send me, I think. Anyway, wherever he is, I hope that Belphimore guy didn't kill him," Allen thought to himself. " Well, good night Mom. Good night Jana. Good night..., Dad," he said softly as he drifted to sleep.
