Manna was ready. The first day of freshman. He could finally train to serve Solan. He couldn't be more excited. He ran up to the entrance of Southern Sanctuary School and passed the orderly barrier. While Manna walks through the halls trying to find his class, he stumbles across Kirby and Cat talking about which class they should enroll. Manna felt like becoming a dedicated sigil knight so he wanders around until he found the enrollment site and decides to sign up for sword training. After that, he went outside the dorms and starts waiting.
The bell rang. Manna stands up and went to find his classroom. There was a massive number of classrooms. Fist training, the Library, the Mana Gym, so many classrooms, all except sword training. Manna wandering around stumbles on the principle. "Manna", said the principal, "you do know where to go, right? It took you way longer it did than the other kids". "Yeah, I know where I'm going" Said Manna.
As Manna continues to wander around the halls, he sees a girl with pale skin, with white dotted green hair with beautiful green emerald eyes. He walked up and tried to say hi but he failed to gather the courage to do so. But then she saw him awkwardly walk past her. "Hello?", said the pale girl. "…Uhm, hi…", said Manna. The girl quickly noticed how weird he was acting so she walks away from Manna. "Great, now she thinks I'm a weirdo and a creep", Manna muttered to himself.
After a long search, he finds the classroom and enters. In it he sees tons of people, it was more than 2 of each race including him. "You're late", says Alfric, the teacher. Manna tries to make up an excuse as to why he's late, but he was too depressed about what happened to make one.
"Okay, everyone gets your swords out and start training off these dummies", said Alfric. Manna starts looking for his sword, and takes out a wooden sword and start swinging away. Time rolls by. Kirby and Cat are continuously slashing the dummies. They didn't seem like everyone else so he wanted to stop by and say hello. "Hey...Uhm, Kirby was it?", asked Manna. Kirby replied with "Yeah that's me...What is it Manna?". Manna was shocked because he hadn't told anyone his name. "How do you know my name?", in which Kirby replies with, "Alfric said it in roll call. You don't pay attention to class, do you?". Manna chuckles in a nervous laugh.
Everyone continued training for an hour. It was getting boring. Cat would want to say something but right as he opened his mouth the bell would ring and he wouldn't get a chance to talk. "Ok everyone its lunchtime, take this map to the cafeteria.", Alfric said in a monotone voice. On the way to the cafeteria, Manna wondered about how the girl might be telling her friends about how weird and creepy he appeared to be. And before he knew it, he bumped into something, tripped and fell into a pair of soft pillows. Or so he thought before he heard a really loud ear breaking screech. Manna would then panic and get up before he saw the face of the girl, and in panic, he darted across the halls so nobody would notice him and the girl were in that situation.
As lunchtime began Kirby and Cat were sitting at a table. It seemed as though they were waiting for someone. The school's maids then came around and started collecting the trash and the plates. One maid stood out from the rest. She had elven ears and had to wear a collar around her neck. Kirby muttered, "so slavery is here too huh?". Cat replied, "I think… but they would treat their slaves nicely since this is an orderly school, right?". "You do know that orderly is measured by how many people you killed...not how they treat people, ...right?" Kirby responded, "orderly...let me tell you Cat, the number of good things you do only gives you a certain amount of orderly karma. Things you do that are slightly good like picking up trash gives you orderly...according to the guide they give you. Cleaning up a dirty place would give you enough orderly to enter a clear orderly barrier. Getting evidence of chaotic karma, jailing a wanted criminal, also give karma. If you are born in a holy family you carry your family's karma. Most gates need a neutral amount of karma, except the mythical tomeless gate, which requires around 10 actions worth of orderly, and the Solan's gate, which requires around 50000 actions in orderly. It is said only the legendary hero, Eight, went through the gate and got the legendary weapon, Solan's sword out. Most people don't dream of that because it's a difficult thing to do. And it's dangerous, so I wouldn't recommend it."
"Cat... are you listening? Hello...?", Kirby asked. "Yeah, I was listening… That is just kind of difficult to remember", replied Cat. As the two prepared to get their stuff and leave, they see Manna running down the hall into the male dorm room. As Manna ran down the hall into the male dorm rooms, he had gotten more and more paranoid about his reputation as a normal kid in his school. "It would be around 10:30 am by now….", Manna mutters to himself, "wish I hadn't run into that girl...I feel like that might cause some more problems for me in the future…". Manna, while running through the halls, found the manager for the boy's dorm. "Excuse me, are you Mr. Manna?", asked the dorm room manager. "Yes", replied Manna. "Your dorm room number would be number 10, with Kirby, Cat, and Vossy", said the manager. "Thank you, uhm…...Mr. Dorm room manager?", said Manna. "No problem and it's Keith, Mr. Manna. And since it's the first day, all freshmen are taking the day off", the manager replied. The dorm manager bows to Manna, and he does the same. Manna proceeds to walk down the hall to his dorm, as Kirby and Cat ask the dorm room manager for their room, they head with Manna to relax after the first day of school.
