บท 1: Prologue
In a normal bedroom, a 17-year-old male with black hair slept on his bed with a blissful expression on his face.
Knock. Knock.
Knocks started to echo throughout the room without notice, but the young man wore big noise-canceling headphones. With such big headphones, it would make sense that he wouldn't be able to hear it, or so it may seem.
"Nghh…" Strangely, the male could hear the knock clearly, waking up because of it. He rubbed his sleepy eyes before getting up from the bed and replying, "Yes, I'm aw-"
Before he could finish his words, the door was opened. He saw the familiar figure that had always been waking him up every morning. She had long black hair that reached her waist, big black eyes, a small nose, as well as a pair of tantalizing lips. She wore a white shirt under a white suit, as well as a blue tie and a white miniskirt.
Those clothes made her charm more enchanting, accentuating her beautiful proportion even further. She could cook and even do house chores. That's right. She would be a perfect girl, if only she wasn't such a…
"Kai!" She threw herself towards him. He had gotten used to this, so he avoided her and let her crash into his bed.
He avoided her, but it didn't make her feel disappointed. Instead, she grabbed his pillow as she smiled. "Fufu, Kai's scent. Today, Kai will go to school with me… Ah, this is the best day ever."
Kai glanced at her before increasing his distance from her. That's right, she was indeed happy, but then she realized another matter, making her mood turn for the worse. She said with a dark tone, "That's right, what if Kai gets a girlfriend in school? Damn you, government. I should change this policy when I become one of the high-ranking people. Or should I..."
"No killing, please," Kai replied with an uninterested tone. He had gotten used to this side of her. Her name was Tasha Carter. She was his incurable bro-con sister… well, adopted sister. He and his parents were on vacation before they met her. She was abandoned after her parents died in an accident.
They decided to adopt her so that their son could have an older sister that could protect him. But because of a certain accident, she became like this.
Kai Carter shook his head helplessly at the thought. He glanced at the mark on her right hand. Everyone had a mark like this on their body. For him, he had an eighth-note symbol under his right ear. He looked at the lightning mark on her right hand.
At the end of the 21st century, a strange accident occurred on Earth.
The people on Earth suddenly felt their bodies becoming more energetic with every passing day. The government started researching the cause, and at that moment, they found a strange phenomenon.
A dog suddenly expanded in size, as if it was undergoing an evolution. It killed all the members of the research team, as well as the people around them. Unfortunately, it didn't stop there. Other animals also underwent their respective evolutions.
The situation became chaotic because animals throughout the globe started turning into beasts. In the present years, they were called 'Magical Beasts'. People who owned pets died on the first wave after their pets killed them.
The government tried to fight them, but it was obvious that killing those beasts would not be that easy. Numerous nations were ruined by these magical beasts. These beasts terrorized the entire Earth. Without any other choice left, the people around the world joined hands to fight them.
It was not-so-effective at first, so they could only retreat and create a superbase with allied countries. Three bases managed to survive this ordeal, with those bases being located in Japan, the US, and Europe. With Japan's strategic location, which was surrounded by water, the terrestrial magical beasts from afar couldn't harm them.
They managed to kill the magical beast through their territories. The people around them were also migrating to the country. Japan finally became a country that hosted various nationalities. China, Russia, and even those from Indonesia lived in this country. And so, Japan changed its name to United Asia.
Such was also the case for the US and European bases. Each of them also took in various nationalities into them. People who managed to survive this ordeal used these three bases as places for recuperation and started to slowly turn the tides against those magical beasts.
Until all of a sudden, they found that their children had something that they called a birthmark. It appeared on every child around the world. Strangely enough, they found out that their birthmarks could glow, and that the children could use strange powers.
Children with a fire mark on them could control or summon fire. It was the same for children with a water or wave-like mark on them. They could control or summon water. The people called these children 'Magicians'. His sister had a lightning mark, which made her a lightning magician. Well, she also had another power that made her famous.
With that, the people were finally able to fight back those magical beasts. The world continuously produced such children every time they birthed. It seemed that it was the same as the magical beast evolution. But in this case, it was their children.
After retaliating for more than two centuries, the situation had eventually stabilized. Unfortunately, because of this accident, the population on Earth was reduced to a meager 5% of its initial number. Even more so, after these fights, the number of males who participated in the front lines had been decreasing until finally, women started participating as well.
Even so, the damage was irreplaceable. The current population of males was only a third of the entire population. Yeah, the policy in her mouth was that a man could have multiple wives, AKA, their own harem. Some chose to have one, and some decided not to.
For this hardcore bro-con, it was a significant matter. Kai Carter didn't really care about it that much though. For him, he wanted to build his own relationship first before confirming their relationship. He didn't believe in such a thing as 'falling in love at first sight'.
He grasped his sister and threw her outside his room. He then closed the door so he could change his clothes. He soon grabbed his white uniform. It was the same white uniform as the one his sister wore, except that he had long white pants. He looked at the ID and grabbed it as well.
ID: 000004884395 (UNITED ASIA)
Name: Kai Carter
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Education: Genesis Magic Academy First Year
Rank: D
That's right. He was living in the United Asia Base. Jobs related to magic were high-paying jobs in this world. Those who became a student at a Magical Academy would receive an honor unique to them. As for the ranks, in this world, there were seven ranks, from F to S.
They were classified based on ability and magical energy. Kai Carter was only your average guy. His ability and magical energy level weren't high, but they weren't low either. From other people's point of view, he was just an average guy with an average aptitude.
B-rank magicians were considered as special people while A-rank magicians were considered as Aces. As for people with S ranks, there were only a handful of people in the world who had that rank. It was a Special Rank only for those who fit the requirements for that, which included his sister.
After he changed his clothes, he opened the door and saw that his sister was still standing in front of his room this entire time.
"Kai, let's eat breakfast."
Kai nodded his head. Both of them went downstairs and saw their parents. Their father was sitting while reading news on his gadget. The gadget was a kind of smartphone, but it was a bit more technologically advanced. They lived in the 24th century, but due to the onslaught of the magical beasts, technology didn't progress that much.
His father was a middle-aged man with very short black hair. His personality was not strict. In fact, he was a fun father to have. Kai looked at their mother, who was preparing their breakfast. Even though she was considered a middle-aged woman, her beauty was still preserved. Maybe because of their magical energy, their aging process had slowed down.
He recalled that most women in this world were the same, but it was different for males. It seemed they didn't care that much about their appearance, especially for those who were married. That's why their father had the appearance of a man in their mid-thirties while their mother looked like she was in her prime, which was her early twenties.
"Oh, Kai. That's right. It's your first day attending high school. Well, have fun. I'm sure your sister will protect you."
"Yes! I will protect him. Especially from v*xens!" Tasha said with a guts pose.
"Yeah, yeah, I'll leave him to you. Just watch your words." Their father, James Carter, didn't really care since he had gotten used to this. In fact, the whole family had gotten used to her personality.
"Fufufu. Well, I don't really mind having a few more daughters-in-law, though." Their mother, Ayaka Carter, said while giggling as she put the dishes on the table. Their mother was a local Japanese. Their great grandfather was a tourist in Indonesia. He was an English man, but, because of that accident, he fled to United Asia and settled down.
"Mom! How can you say that? They just want to take advantage of Kai!" Tasha protested.
Kai only kept his silence, not bothering to correct them. He just let it be and watched them to see what would happen.
"Uh-huh. Whatever you say. I will be the one to judge them, not you." Their mother stated it like it was her authority, not Tasha's. But then again, she was using her joking tone.
"Itadakimasu!"
After living together for two centuries, their cultures had mixed.
They ate their breakfast while joking with one other. After finishing their breakfast, it was time for Tasha and Kai to go to school.
They were reaching for their shoes when Tasha suddenly realized that something was off. Kai's tie was a bit crooked. Her eyes immediately flashed with a glint.
"Kai, your tie is crooked. Let me fix it for you." She moved closer towards Kai.
Seeing her come towards him, he immediately fixed his tie casually. "Yeah, you're right. Thanks, Sis."
She froze after seeing him fix his tie. "Kai, it's the time where I should be fixing your tie, you know. You should let me fix it for you. Are you even a man?"
"Yes." Kai simply nodded, ignoring all her words.
She pouted in response. After that, they put on their shoes. Tasha shouted soon after, "Mom, Dad, we're heading out."
"Yeah, have fun."
"Kai, don't forget to bring a daughter-in-law!"
"No! He won't!"
And with that, the two of them finally left the house.
บท 2: Opening Ceremony
Kai and Tasha went to school together. They were in Tokyo. Even though Japan changed its name to United Asia, the names of the cities didn't change. They rode a bus that had been modified with Magical Energy. The bus didn't have wheels and was floating a few centimeters off the road.
Surprisingly, their home was not that far from the school. After a ten-minute ride, they finally arrived at the school gate walking together. Of course, there were a lot of students around them. Most of them knew about Tasha.
"Woah!"
"That's Tasha Carter!"
"Indeed. The only S-rank in the academy. Now that I think about it, only a few people in the world have that rank."
"I came to this school because I admire her."
"Look, she's with someone. Who is he?"
"I don't know."
"Ah. If I'm not mistaken, he must be her younger brother, Kai Carter."
"What? Her younger brother? Do you know him?"
"Not really, but I'm super envious. I want to be her younger brother as well. Look, they look so intimate."
Even with his big noise-canceling headphones, he could hear the conversations from his surroundings. His symbol was sound. From childhood, he had an extensive hearing. In other words, even if it was far away, he could hear it. After multiple tests, he found out that his hearing range was about a few kilometers. He wore those headphones to suppress it.
It was very taxing for him, especially when he was about to sleep. He used the headphones to limit his hearing. To be honest, it was pretty stressful for him to hear everything. Who would want to hear a fight between a couple from a kilometer away? Or something like that.
'Walking together like this is considered intimate?' Kai questioned in his heart. He remembered that his sister always wanted to jump on him at home or on the bus. She even tried to hold his hand. Of course, he managed to dodge all of them.
Fortunately, she seemed to be able to maintain her image at school. She was waving her hands, greeting the other students.
When they arrived, Tasha needed to do her job. "Ah, right. I'm the student council's secretary, as well as the second-year representative. Although it saddens me, I'll see you later, Kai. By the way, the ceremony will be held in the gym. It's that building."
Kai nodded his head in response. Tasha walked away while waving her hand until she disappeared from his sight. Kai then walked toward the gym.
"Hey, you. Stop right where you are. Why are you wearing headphones? That's quite rude, don't you think? You need to pay attention to others." Kai heard a woman's voice behind him. He turned around to see a lady around the same age as him, sporting long brown hair. She had black eyes, a small nose, as well as cherry-red lips. Her figure might be equal to Tasha, though not that he cared much to think about it. What he cared about was the star on her uniform.
He had seen that star on her sister's uniform. Her sister said it was a star for representatives. Judging from her age, she must be the first-year representative.
"These are noise-canceling headphones. But don't worry, I can hear you just fine." Kai said in a casual tone. He had gotten used to this situation. But then again, it would be quite rare to see someone wearing noise-canceling headphones. Other people would think that he was blasting music through it.
"Even so, it's still rude," she said while crossing her arms.
Kai wasn't offended by this. He took out a health certificate and showed it to her. "Consider me a special case, if you will. It's for health reasons."
This certificate always saved him in these kinds of situations. When he presented it to other people, they would back down and shut their mouths.
After looking at the certificate, she was shocked. Unfortunately, she wasn't shocked by his certificate. Instead, she was shocked by his name. Kai Carter. He was someone who had the same family name as Tasha Carter. "You… you're Kai Carter? The younger brother of Tasha Carter?"
"Yes."
Her eyes widened, then she started scanning him from head to toe. She couldn't see anything special from him, prompting her to ask, "Are you really her younger brother?"
She was perplexed because she also came to this school because of her. His sister was that famous. But the most shocking thing was that when Tasha was asked by others, she always said that it was thanks to her brother that she could become who she was now. The people didn't believe it though.
She tried to find anything special from him. Sadly, she didn't find anything. Even so, since he was her idol's younger brother, she still decided to be polite to him. She then introduced herself, saying, "My name is Kudo Ayaka. Nice to meet you, Kai Carter."
"…The pleasure is mine." Kai didn't immediately answer her since he felt that this name was a bit familiar. It was as if he had heard it from somewhere. He couldn't remember it, so he answered with a bit of delay.
"I will guide you to the gym."
"No need, the gym is there."
Kudo Ayaka was surprised to see that this guy was indifferent in front of her. He might not know her full identity, but she thought that as a beautiful girl whose appearance did not lose out to his sister, he should at least get excited. Unfortunately, he didn't have any of those thoughts. He only considered her as another acquaintance which he had only just met. Whether they will become friends or not, he left it to the future.
She let out a wry smile while saying, "Well, the gym is over there. See you later."
Kai only nodded and walked away.
The gym was brimming with people. They had around two thousand students in here. It seemed that the third-year students occupied the spot in the center, the second-year students occupied its surroundings, and the first-year students' place was on the second floor.
Kai searched for an empty seat. It took him a while to find one, as the gym was filled with people.
Finally, he found an empty seat in the corner. Beside that seat was a blonde young man. Kai didn't know why, but he noticed that this guy seemed to radiate the vibe of an elegant prince. He shrugged the feeling off and approached the seat.
"Is that seat next to you taken?"
The blonde guy noticed him and turned his head. After he saw Kai's face, he just smiled. "Not at all. Feel free to sit here."
"Thank you." Kai nodded and sat.
"What is your name? Which class? What is your rank?" The blonde guy asked him hurriedly. He then realized something, "Oh, that's right. How rude of me. My name is Inshov Tanas Georgiy. If you feel it to be too long, you can just call me George. I am a student of class 1-A, and my rank is B."
Kai was surprised. He thought that this guy had an elegant prince's vibe, but as soon as he heard his voice, the feeling wore off. Instead, his opinion of him was now that of a cheerful and easygoing guy. "1-A, Kai."
"So we are classmates… By the way, why do you wear headphones…" He noticed something off from the headphones. Although he was cheerful and seemed to be careless, he was, in fact, a sharp person. He noticed this little detail. "Those aren't headphones for music."
"Noise-canceling headphones. Medical reason."
"Hmm…" He looked at Kai mysteriously and eventually said, "You're an interesting guy. Let's be friends, Kai. You're my classmate, so we're gonna be together for the entire year."
Kai was surprised to see that this guy found out that his headphones were different. Not many people could spot this at their first meeting. "Well, nice to meet you then. But please refrain from saying something that can invite misunderstandings. People will mistake you as a homosexual with your last sentence."
"Eh? Did I?" He was clueless. He often spoke like this, but no one complained to him. Or maybe they were just scared of his status. But this 'Kai' guy seemed not to know his real status. He thought that this 'Kai' was fascinating. "Haha, I'll make sure to be careful. But you can truly hear beyond those noise-canceling headphones, huh…"
Kai nodded. Before George said another word, the principal finally came up to the podium. The opening ceremony was about to start. The principal was a muscular middle-aged man. He had spiky brown hair and seemed to be your typical muscle-brained guy.
"Hello, everyone, I am your principal. My name is Kazato Kenzo. I welcome you to Genesis Magical Academy. First of all, I would like to thank you for…"
The principal began his speech. The speech was a bit boring since it was just the usual speech. After a few minutes, the speech was finally over.
"With that out of the way, I would like to invite Yajima Haruko, Tasha Carter, and Kudo Ayaka as the representatives of their grades. First off, Yajima Haruko is our student council president, as well as the representative of the third-year students. She is also a rank A magician like me. Tasha Carter is the secretary of the student council. You might already know this, she is the only S-rank in our academy, and the first S-rank to appear in this academy. She is the representative for the second-year students.
"The last one is Kudo Ayaka, the heiress of the Kudo group, the number one weapon provider company. We are honored to have her as our student. She is also a rank A magician. Let's give them a warm round of applause."
A roaring round of applause soon echoed inside the gym. As expected, the claps were far louder than the principal. Three beauties were walking toward the stage. Kai had seen two of them. He looked at the third person, the third-year representative, who was also the student council's president.
She had long red hair with a beautiful hairpin on her hair. Every step she took was elegant. It seemed that she was also a young miss from a prominent family. In fact, Kai was surprised to hear that Kudo Ayaka was the heiress of the Kudo group.
He finally understood why he felt that her name was familiar. They started giving their speech, starting from Yajima Haruko, to Tasha Carter, then Kudo Ayaka.
Their speech was similar, but the applause from the students was loud. As expected from them, it seemed that they had their own fan clubs. Unfortunately, the number of men in this world had been reduced to a pitiful amount. If there had been more of them, the applause would most likely have become louder. Heh…men.
