Author's Note: Okay so here's my next story, I figured with Card Captors getting a sequel soon I'd might as well post a story, and remember people I want to see some reviews this time!

Chapter one: A Brief Summary of Magical History.

In the year 2020, the world had made a successful full conversion into the use of natural power sources: Wind, Solar and Hydro power had totally replaced nuclear, fossil fuels and natural gas. The world's total food supply increased dramatically causing a sudden population boom to 9 billion. In the year 2030, the planet underwent a dramatic drop in temperature as a result of large scale recession of green house gasses. Dwindling food sources prompted a large scale immigration from China to Russia, as the immigrants entered the country illegally the Russians sent the immigrants back to China as was demanded by international law. Negotiations between China and Russia quickly breaks down and erupts into a third world war in the year 2045. In order to prevent the use of nuclear weapons and subsequently devastating the world, a 'new technology' was created: Magicians. Discovering that magic required a natural genetic predisposition, individuals determined to possess such a predisposition was gathered together by the individual countries and their DNA was spliced together to create what is known as the modern day magician. As for the Magic itself, the magical formula's were learned by studying the variety of supernatural In 2064, nearly twenty years after the onset of the third world war, the war finally ends. Canada absorbs the United States, Mexico and Central America into the United states of North America. The Russians reabsorb Ukrain and Belarus and conquer the divided European Union creating the New Soviet Union. China is divided into the stated of Dahan and China, before absorbing the Korean peninsula and reabsorbing Dahan creating the Great Asian alliance. Australia remains a independent country, while Africa absorbed it's various smaller countries into one country known as Africa. Japan and Indonesia formed a political alliance, the Indo-Japan alliance. In particular, Japan has been extra aggressive in the development of 'human weapons' called magicians. Ten laboratories were founded, each founding one of the ten great magician families and collectively over one hundred sub families of magicians, of them, the Totsuya clan of the fourth laboratory and the Jyuumonji clan of the first laboratory are particularly powerful. By the year 2095, over ten percent of the world's population can be called magicians, having evolved beyond a mere tool of war, Magic is now a part of every day life, and the magician is a indispensable resource. Utilizing Ancient magical casting methods such as magical circles, magical cards and verbal spells were converted into software and placed into portable digital devices called called CAD's or Casting Assistant Devices in order to aid the Magicians in the casting process. In order to instruct and educate the magical populace nine magical schools were founded across the country by the ten great family's. This is the story of the First Academy, considered number one in educational quality among the nine schools.

This is the information that she read from the pamphlet 'A brief history of Modern Magic' as she changed into the academy's uniform. Truthfully, she didn't like it very much. It wasn't that it was ugly per say, the dress was white with some red trimming on the sides, and paired with a green coat, but her slightly tomboyish personality leaned towards the suits of the male students, and they were easier to move around in as well. There was one part that she really didn't like about it: the blank patches on the shoulders. The part that they don't mention in the pamphlet is the lack of teachers at the academy to accommodate it's two hundred students. So instead there is the two course system, where only the top one hundred most promising students, or Blooms, are given proper magical education, and the other hundred, or weeds, are merely given access to terminals through which they may study magic. It didn't bother her situation any, after all her family knows far more about magic then these ignorant people could ever hope to accomplish in the entire history of their country.

"Here goes nothing." The young red headed girl with green eyes stated as she walked through the gates of First Academy.

She saw a woman working a desk that had been placed outside of the academy and was greeting the students as they came through the front gate.

"Name." The woman stated in a dull tone of voice.

"Klaud Reed." The Young read head (our protagonist) replied.

Receiving her identification, Klaud followed the class register to her home room. Along the way she encountered a pair arguing out in front of the school.

"But Big Brother! It's not fair!" The shorter of the pair, a young girl with silky black hair and bright blue eyes with the uniform of the first course students, shouted at the individual who was presumably her brother.

"It is what it is, so it can't be helped." The taller of the pair, a black haired young man with blue eyes replied dully.

"Yo!" The pair turned their attention to Klaud who was waving over to them. "Something wrong?"

"Only this school's stupid ranking system!" The shorter girl shouted flailing her arms about in frustration. "My big brother is the strongest magician in the whole wide world but this stupid school treats him like some worthless person!"

"Big brother?" Klaud looked between the two siblings confusedly for a few moments. "Is he in his second year here?" Klaud asked pointing at the taller of the two.

"No I'm a first year like you. Tatsuya Shiba at your service." The young man stated holding out his hand to shake, which Klaud did.

"Then are you twins?" After all Big had more than one meaning.

"No no, I was born ten month's after big brother. Miyuki Shiba at your service!" Miyuki stated as she gave Klaud curtsy.

"Then are one of you adopted?" Now that Klaud thought about it, the two of them being twins was more than unlikely it almost seemed impossible.

Ignoring their Hair and Eye Color the pair had nothing in common, on the contrary while she could only sum up Tatsuya looking completely ordinary Miyuki some how radiated a aura of beauty. Heck, she wasn't gay, at least she didn't think she was gay, and she was attracted to her.

"We get that a lot too. But we were both born to and raised by the same parents." Tatsuya stated dully, it wasn't like he had explained it a lot, but more like he simply didn't care.

"Right. Well I wouldn't worry about that. If Tatsuya really is as strong as you say he is then I'm sure that he'll have it proven in no time." Klaud stated waving the matter off with her hand while smiling cheekily.

"No I'm not." Now Klaud was starting to get confused. "For one thing I have a extremely small calculation area, and a extremely slow spell casting rate. If I got into a duel my opponent would probably finish me off before I could get a single spell fired off."

"But Big Brother!" Tatsuya shot his sister a single glare, silencing her into submission. They were hiding something.

"Well, I suppose who is right and who is wrong will be proven in due time." Klaud stated shrugging her shoulders. After all, she too had her secrets to hide. "The Name's Klaud Reed by the way."

Tatsuya and Klaud made their way to the homeroom together with a group of other second course students. Klaud caught sight of their teacher at the front of the class. the desks were more accurately computer terminals, the screen a touch pad but with a independent key board. Being the first day, class time was rather light, it was more along the lines of their orientation segment. After class was done Klaud went her own way up to the roof, wanting to soak up some sunlight before she was picked up.

"Hmm. So this is a magical academy eh?" It wasn't perfect, but at least she was away from her sisters. The mere thought of what those three would be doing to her right now was terrifying.

"I said No!" Spoke too soon. Klaud looked down and saw Miyuki being harassed by a group of course one students.

"Easy there! We just want to talk! It's not good for a Bloom like you to be hanging out with a weed like them."

He was a orange haired student, probably from some well-to-do family that can't be wrong if their lives depended upon it. Having formed a protective gang around Tatsuya and Miyuki, were a group consisting of other Course Two students. That orange haired punk made Klaud sick just thinking about it. As it was though, she was in a position to do something about it. The orange haired student raised his arm in front of him with his CAD bracelet and readied a magical formula.

"So be it, if you insist on using violence, then we have no choice but to defend ourselves." So he intended to start a mess and blame the second course students.

Klaud jumped from the top of the building and landed on top of the orange haired student.

"I'm sorry am I interrupting something?" Klaud's would be opponents wasted no time in trying to attack her.

What they didn't realize was that being crouched down she was in the perfect position to inflict some major damage upon them. For starters, she sprung into a head butt into the mid section of one of the nearest students, secondly grabbed the feet of two others who were in mid kick. Jumping into the air a bit she donkey kicked one who had tried to flank her from behind. Klaud used the kick to flip around in the air and flip over the two who she already had in her grip sending them into two more behind them. One student was winding up with another Magic attack, and would have cast it to no doubt devastating effect, if he wasn't distracted by the view up Klaud's dress as she drop kicked him.

"Note to self, need pants." Only two of the course one students were left. Klaud took one step forward and they fearfully took one back. "That's what I thought!"

"Fufufu!" Turning around Klaud was greeted by the sight of a pair of senior students, tall and slender women with long black hair. One of them projected a dangerous atmosphere, carried with her a wooden sword, and had a dark armband around one of her arms, while one of them looked rather amused the other was far from it.

"It looks like somebody couldn't even wait until the first day was over before they start causing trouble." The one with the sword growled menacingly.

"Mari..." The wounded orange haired student got up to his feet before pointing accusingly towards Klaud. "Arrest her! She came out of no where and attacked me! I couldn't even defend myself!"

"Arrest them both!" The young woman named Mari snapped, prompting a few thugs hiding around the shadows to come out and grab both Klaud and the orange haired student from behind. "The next time you want to start a fight with someone, try doing it away from the security camera's like all the other ruffians!" Mari shouted while her thugs dragged the pair away.

Klaud had been brought before the two students from before in a meeting room, additionally they were joined by a intimidating giant of a man, it was hard to believe he really was a student but he wore the uniform all the same.

"Allow me to introduce ourselves. You've already met Mari Watanabe." The more polite of the two students from before stated indicating the one with the arm band. "She's the head of the school's public morals comity. This is Katsuto Juumonji." Now indicating the larger man, he merely grunted in response. "The leader of the Club Management committee. And I am Mayumi Saegusa." The young woman who was speaking for the trio stood before she gave a short polite bow. "We are pleased to make your presence Klaud Reed."

"Pleasure. Now after what I did to those idiots, I can see being brought in to meet with the head of the disciplinary committee, but at the same stance would someone mind telling me what I did to the Club management committee and student council?" Klaud asked pointing at the president and the man who looked infinitely more qualified to be the head of the disciplinary board than the lanky looking woman off to her right.

"You're not in trouble." Katsuto stated matter of factually.

"Wow I really must have done something wrong!" Klaud stated letting out a short nervous laugh.

"That remains to be seen." Mari stated staring at the younger girl quite intensely. "During this time of year part of the duties of the Public morals commission head is to find replacements for the members of the board who have graduated. Although a second course student, your fighting ability is clearly far superior when compared to most of the student body."

"Obviously but so what? The reason for that is because this is a magic academy not a martial arts academy!" Klaud stated almost in a shout.

"We already have plenty of skilled magicians, what we really need is someone with sufficient hand to hand combat training to subdue multiple hostiles at once." Mari stated sizing up Klaud.

"Or in Layman's terms, me. The girl who had barely passed, with the slowest application ability, interference strength, magic tolerance and is a user of the 'archaic' ancient magic on top of all of that." Klaud spat listing off her numerous negative qualities.

"Because you are strong." Mari stated eyeing girl in front of her that was full of self doubt. "Any decent magician that lays their eyes upon you can tell that you are strong without a doubt."
