Chapter 1 - 1. Strange man in a strange place

***

"...magic...particles...pattern..."

A distant female voice can be heard, it echoed throughout the room, silencing the people who are murmuring in the background. It's calm voice shouldn't have been able to be heard and be that loud in the spacious room but it does and it is, it's likely enhanced by something.

'Huh... Why is someone using microphone this early in the morning.'

A young man with light brown hair slumped over a desk, his head resting on his left arm sideways with his eyes closed, he covered his right ear that has been exposed to air, as if annoyed by the loud voice.

'Seriously, it's Sunday morning can't they just let people rest.'

Despite his effort to block out the sound of murmurs and the distant loud voice that for some reason seems to be growing closer, he couldn't get a moment of silence.

Annoyed, he half open his eyes and look at his wrist.

'What the... Where's my watch?'

Confused, he feel the numbness of his left hand which he's been using as a pillow.

'Wait why am I sleeping on a desk??'

Confused again, he tried to stand up, but before he could, a shadow looming above his desk suddenly appeared. He slowly looked to his left, then up; he finally saw the source of the distant loud voice before, well, now it's not so distant anymore.

Looking up, he saw a woman who seemed to be at least in her early thirties. The woman was wearing a white long sleeve that seemed to enhance her figure, a long brown vest that went down just above her knees, and a fitted gray skirt on her lower body. Her dark colored hair is cut short above her shoulders, and her brown eyes and pale skin scream dignity.

"You... have a lot of nerve to fall asleep on the first day of class."

Before he could say something the woman spoke again:

"Student, state your name and affiliation."

Dumbfounded, the young man hurriedly stand up.

'Class? Affiliation? What is she talking about.'

Looking around the young man stood frozen.

'...This clearly isn't my room.'

A series of chairs and long desk are arrange curvely throughout the room, and each of these chairs have a person occupying it. In the center of the curve long desk is a black board, lectern, and behind it a chair. The one occupying it is likely the woman on his left. With the whole class and the teacher staring at him he finally says something:

"...Where the hell am I?"

With that he feels his body go limp and his consciousness blacking out, he feels as if his eyelids are the heaviest thing in the world then everything went black.

***

In front of the infirmary of the Grande Magic Academy a young man with light brown hair is walking out the door grimacing and holding his left ear and in front of him is a woman with dark colored hair.

He touch his temple and sigh:

'This... This gotta be a dream.'

The woman continued walking and he followed through. Reaching the hallway, he looked around and noticed that the floor, wall, and ceiling are all made out of cobblestone. And every meter or two, an Elliptical Windows with no glass can be seen, allowing the sunlight to pass through and shine the hallways, it's size is big enough for an adult man to stand on, and the ceiling is at least five meters high.

'Yeah, this has to be a dream... or a nightmare after all who can even talk so loud like that.'

The woman turned around and look at him with a straight face.

"I apologize student Thorn, I didn't know you would passed out just because... I raised my voice a little."

Before Thorn could say something, she continued:

"You already broke one of the rules in the classroom on the first day of school. Sigh... why do all the troublesome students always falls to me."

Thorn retaliate in his mind:

'Speak for yourself! You already harm a student at the first day of school (not that doing so further down the road would make it acceptable).'

Then Thorn look at him with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

'But what did she say? Student Thorn? Is she referring to me?'

She cleared her throat:

"You're dismissed for now... Although I only use my Voice magic pattern a little. You should still rest, healthy people shouldn't have passed out on that level of magic so either your sick or you're just sleepy. Even though the nurse in infirmary doesn't seem to notice anything, better safe than sorry. And lastly please don't fall asleep on my class again."

With that the woman turned around and walked away.

Thorn, who is still bewildered by everything that just happened, grab his head and start walking, although he doesn't know his way around the academy, he feels restless and starts walking while going over everything.

'Crap...calm down'

With a sigh he finally calm himself... For a moment.

'Is this what I think it is?... Magic, Academy, and Thorn... my new name. Then isn't this what you usually see in anime or webnovels? Does that mean?... I got transported in another world?!'

Feeling lightheaded, and his heart beating wildly Thorn look around and found himself in a corridor.

'I still need to think about this things, but first I need a place where I can stay, I don't know anything about everything here but, soon I will, one step at a time'

Studying the passage, at his back is where the infirmary located to at the far end of the corridor however stood an oak wood door, which he didn't know where it lead. To his left is a spiral staircase that's been made out of limestone, and to his right is another hallway. Not knowing where to go Thorn approach one of the arch windows.

He looked out with a deep breath, his eyes glistened. Countless protruding spire, Different man-made structure, flying blimps, flying beast's, five moons, colorful vegetation, flying people can all be seen...everything seems out of ordinary... Everything seems Magical.
