“All right, new students. Sit down and don’t be noisy.” A woman neatly dressed as a teacher exclaimed from the entrance of the room.

After that, the teacher put a handful of her medium length dark brown hair behind one of her ears as she entered the auditorium room and headed for the pulpit to place the document she was carrying. Then she smiled slightly at the nearly three hundred new students while examining all of them at a glance using her brown observant eyes.

The new students sat in the seats of their choice as they pleased because the seats in this room were enough to accommodate a thousand people.

“Good, before we start the afternoon class, let me introduce myself first. I, Ruth Henderson, the teacher in charge of the magic class. Nice to meet you.” Teacher Ruth introduced herself with graceful gestures of hands and body before continuing with her opening.

“As per the schedule, all of you will introduce yourself so you can get to know each other before you split into classes depending on what class you are going to take. Starting with the girl over there, please introduce yourself.” Teacher Ruth pointed to one of the girls sitting in the front row, she also pointed out a projection device towards the girl.

“My name is Zofia Ward, I come from the eastern region and a daughter of the Ward Viscount Family. Nice to meet you all.”

The girl pointed to by the teacher smiled slightly as she stood up to introduce herself. The girl’s projection appeared on the white wall directly behind Teacher Ruth and was visible to all the new students present.

Then one by one the new students introduced themselves in various ways such as introducing their name, their origin, their status, even introducing their talents, hobbies, or their skills.

After several students introduced themselves, it finally came to Serena’s turn. She has been waiting for an event to show off this kind of status which is labeled a self-introduction.

Serena smiled as she stood up and put one hand on her upper chest to introduce herself. “Greetings, my name is Serena Scott, the first daughter of the Scott Duke Family in the Nachezan Kingdom. I will be kind to those who are on my good side and merciless to those who are on my bad side.”

A declaration filled with a slogan but also sounded like a threat to someone. Even Teacher Ruth frowned slightly at that but she didn’t scold Serena.

It had become common for new students to flaunt their status when they were capable of the academy, they still didn’t realize that their status would be useless when the time came. Only their talents, efforts, skills, and personality will help them in the future.

Serena’s introduction made the new students mutter quietly and whisper to one another. It was a great thing that the first daughter of the Duke Family in the eastern region was in the same class as them, that way they might be able to get to know each other and form a good cooperative relationship.

The introductory activity was resumed again because the low whisper did not disturb the event. Next is Cora and then Nico who is also Serena’s servant to introduce herself.

“Let me introduce myself, I am Cora, one of the servants of Miss Serena. I have the honor of being a new student at this academy with my master.” Cora gave a respectful introduction.

This fact made the other new students start muttering again in somewhat surprise. ‘A servant and one of them?’ it was the thought that was appearing in their minds right now.

“Silence!” Teacher Ruth’s voice echoed through the room and managed to silence the mouths of the students who had started chirping in a whisper that had started to become noisy.

“All right, continue.” Teacher Ruth nodded and pointed at Nico. Nico introduced himself with words and behavior similar to Cora’s introduction as Serena’s servant.

A student with two servants is already present in one academy and one class. Even though it is legal, the new students consider it to be legal cheating. Roughly speaking, Serena already has two people she can count on and trust to help her before even trying to make friends.

Some of the new students dislike, or are more towards, envious of Serena. Teacher Ruth silenced the new students once more before the introductions resumed.

The teacher doesn’t even try to reprimand the students for their way of introduction, because the students will be aware of themselves in the future and feel aware that they are introducing themselves while exaggerating their status until they realize that they are just students who have been handed over to the academy to be trained, and it will start with the same status.

Elysia who was sitting in the middle row was somewhat confused and started to think twice about why the new students introduced their status and other unnecessary information that shouldn’t be introduced either.

‘Sister Elena, why are they showing off their status? Isn’t that useless in this academy? They will be ordinary students starting from the same status, right?’

Elysia asked the person she could rely on the most under various circumstances in her mind.

‘The status they have today is thanks to the hard work of their parents. They will realize that they will not be spoon-fed again when the time comes. The main objective of the academy is to hone their abilities and personalities. They only use their current temporary status to find connections and potential friends, don’t think too deeply into that thought.’

Elena gives a lecture to a confused Elysia who seeks guidance from her.

Elysia doesn’t dwell on that topic anymore. She went back to listening and memorizing the faces of new students that she might need in the future until it was Evelyn’s turn.

Evelyn stood up gracefully to introduce herself. “Greetings, my name is Evelyn Mitchell, the second daughter of the Mitchell Royal Family of the Ariatha Kingdom in the northern region. Nice to meet you and please take care of me from now onwards.” She closed her introduction respectfully.

Not only the other students, even Elysia and Elena were a little surprised at this revelation. Her roommate is the princess of the kingdom in the northern region!

‘Look, they used that status for this! The wise students will only use their status up to here, but the fools will continue to flaunt their status regardless of the world.’ Elena spread her arms to exaggerate the incident.

‘Hehe… That might be true and maybe the new students are aware of it too, but our problem isn’t with that. How do I introduce myself? I am just a stranger without origin.’

‘Well, that’s true too. Just use your usual introduction method. We don’t need any connections or anything, they will come to you only because of you and not your status.’ Elena nodded slightly as if she was a wise man who knows everything.

‘Okay.’ Elysia accepted that opinion to be implemented. She thought for a moment about the way ordinary students introduced themselves.

When it was her turn, she stood up gracefully and confidently. Elysia put her hand on the top of her chest as she did before when she introduced herself to Brian.

“Greetings, my name is Elysia, Elysia Avery. I am a good girl who came from home. Nice to meet you, please take care of me.” Elysia closed her introduction with a smile before sitting back down.

“*Puchi*” Evelyn giggled softly at that for some reason even though the other students looked at Elysia with a dissatisfied look because she had no information to mention other than her name. Even Teacher Ruth furrowed her brows and smiled at Elysia’s way of introduction.

Self-introductions were continued until all the new students had finished introducing their identities along with status or other unimportant information mentioned by several students.
