Chapitre 6: Chapter-6: The First-High School pt-1
"Let's go quickly! We must not be late!...."
"Do you think I will qualify?...."
"Let's hope for the best!...."
"I hope that I would be able to make it past the entrance exam!....."
[First High School] was a National Magic University Affiliated High School located in Hachiōji, Tokyo in Kantō.
It was an upper-level, magic institution known to send over a hundred graduates who either enter the University of Magic or enrol in a Magic Technical Institute of Specialized Higher Training every year and an elite school that churns out the largest number of excellent Magicians and Magic Technicians.
First High also boasts the most difficult entrance examination among the Nine High Schools.
In this school where only elites are accepted, right at the start of enrollment, the students are already divided into high achievers and low achievers.
First High currently accepts 200 new students per year. Both Course 1 and 2 will have 100 students each and there are 4 classes of Course 1 student and 4 classes of Course 2 students.
Since April 2096, for 2nd & 3rd Year students, First High has 4 classes of Course 1, 3 classes of Course 2 and 1 class of Magic Engineering (since the new academic year which started in April 2096).
Magic education is a trial-and-error thing and accidents, which go beyond the level of minor mishaps, can easily happen directly through magic slip-ups from practice training and experiments. Students sometimes lose the ability to use magic after such accidents.
Such vacant places are filled up by Course 2 Students as replacements. Although accidents resulting in deaths or handicapped bodies have been eradicated due to an accumulation of know-how, the number of students who drop out being unable to use magic is not small.
Final exams for magic high schools include theory and practical skills examinations in magical subjects. Language arts, math, science, sociology and other mundane topics are graded based on daily homework.
As it is an institution that focuses on high-quality training for Magicians, so from the school's perspective, having the students focus too much on subjects outside of magic is redundant.

"Looks like someone rich is coming..."
"From 10-Masters clan?...."
"No idea...."
A black sedan slowly made its way towards the school gate, the horseman symbol could be seen embedded on the front of the car.
Inside the car, in the backseat sat a figure. The figure was a lean man with long grey hair—a part of it is tied in a single braid on the right side of his head—black fingernails. He had chartreuse phosphorescent eyes, which were hidden under his hair.
He wore black earrings; white coloured gloves covering his palms.
He was dressed as a [First-High school] student, a white coat with green stripes all over it and the school symbol strapped onto his shoulder patch.
The figure's name was Erik Saltzman, son of an extremely wealthy personality who had just passed away.
Erik was actually a reincarnated individual who was on a mission, on the path of true salvation.
Upon his death in the previous world, instead of finding peace, his soul was abducted by an [Outer-God]. The dangerously powerful entity was able to "convince" Erik Saltzman soul about the world is riddled with pain and agony.
He asked Erik if he wanted to end this "Cycle of Eternal Damnation"? If he wanted the strength to bring true salvation upon this world?
He naturally agreed to the [Outer-God] proposal and was sent in the world of [Irregular at Magic High School] first.
It had been a few years since he came into this world, he was blessed by the [Outer-God] and had special powers which made it easier for him to adapt to this world.
Erik masked his identity and became a [Private Hunter-Magician] or [Hired-Magician]. He took quests from multiple people, government and normal people.
His fame as an assassin soared high, he specifically accepted the mission concerning **No Head Dragon**. For Erik, he had to finish the multiple missions the [Outer-God] gave him while for others it seemed as if this assassin had deep enmity against the criminal syndicate.
He slowly and steadily grew in both fame and money, he had already grown accustomed to the powers he possessed and could use them to their full potential.
During his missions, he was introduced to the current Saegusa family head, Mayumi's father, Saegusa Kouichi. At first, both of them just worked professionally, as a client and agent, soon Kouichi became the person who gave the most missions.
Erik accepted money in the form of credits and naturally had the means to keep hiding from the Japanese government. He frequently received many missions from Kouichi and built contact with him.
Moreover, it was Kouichi himself who assigned Erik with the mission to assassinate Professor Enzo.
After finishing the very important quest and getting used to the new power he copied from Tatsuya, Erik was expected to attend the school and relax for a few years while also trying to finish the side-missions.
The young man sitting in the car suddenly moved as he felt his butler open the door.
He stepped out of the car and looked towards the massive building in front of him. Multiple eyes converged on him immediately as he stepped out. Erik was very handsome and his waist-long white hair made him even more attractive as it complemented his face and his sturdy body.
"This guy is so handsome!"
"Indeed, judging from his looks he is probably not from here...."
"His hair is so long! But it looks so nice..."
"Hmm....if it wasn't for the uniform he wore, I would have mistaken him as a model....."
"The crest on his car belongs to the Saltzman Family...."
"Son of a rich father indeed...."
Erik ignored the various whispers around him and walked inside, towards the main building.
'According to the letter I received, I scored 95/100 in a practical exam and 98/100 in theory, coming at the second position behind Ichihara Suzune.'
'Due to my score, I have received a seat in Course-1A and am requested to move towards the Podium.'
