Chapter 17 - 16 - Welcoming Ceremony

Chapter 17: Chapter 16 - Welcoming CeremonyThe Special High School Hall became dark after all the students sat down in their respective seats. As one of the students who is part of the S-class candidate, I tried to hold back the strange gazes from my prospective classmates after sitting in the corner with the Yggdrasil Advent Idol group. In the darkness of the Special High School Hall, a light suddenly appeared and showed someone quite famous from various parts of the other world that is connected to the earth. They are Wizards and Witches who are famous for their abilities to the point of being called "Sages From Another World" by the civilians on this earth. Their abilities are too great that people on earth have to race against time to catch up on their magical abilities after the earth was contaminated with a source of magical energy. There are ten Wizards and ten Witches who will be the supervisors of this Special High School because of the variety of students who come from various races. "Umm... Test... Test... Can you hear me?" When the entire Special High School Hall became silent, a voice echoed throughout the room using a magic shockwave. Hearing that loud voice, my ears rang non-stop as if I had sinusitis. "First of all, I would like to welcome the new year students who have been accepted into this Special High School after passing several small tests from us." "Some tests may seem easy and difficult for some people. For example, the new year students this time who have the potential to become S-class in the future!" When the New Year's welcoming event had begun, I had to endure the discomfort after not being used to being exposed to magic shockwaves for a long time. Unlike people from other worlds who are used to magic energy, my body is so slow in adapting to magic that it makes my body like an allergy to magic energy. My body feels the dizziness and nausea because my body was not used to being exposed to this intensity of magic energy. By forcing my body to stay calm, I tried to feel the excruciating dizziness rather than the nausea that almost made me vomit. I don't want to give the impression of a disgusting student on my first day of school. Griitt... I began to feel the increasingly stabbing dizziness in my head that almost made me scream. [ System Notice: Elysia Ai wants to give some of her magic resistance to you. Do you want to receive the magic energy resistance given by Elysia Ai? ] While I was trying to enjoy the dizziness that was attacking my head like this, Elysia seemed to have fiddled with her Maid system to want to share the magic resistance to defend my body from a Witch who was talking in the middle of the Special High School Hall. I shook my head at Elysia and tried to endure the pressure of this great magic energy so that my body would get used to exposure to magic energy like this. "I need to endure exposure to this magic energy so that my body gets used to the pressure of magic energy," I said in a low tone and held back the dizziness that had filled my head. I don't know how much longer I can endure this terrible magic energy pressure, at least I have to get used to receiving exposure to great magic energy like this. When I was about to fall unconscious, I saw a shiny object flying towards me and falling on my thigh. "Kuuh!!" Holding back the unbearable dizziness and nausea, I saw a package containing a caffeine pill specially designed to withstand excessive exposure to magical energy for civilians on Earth. By looking at the parabolic motion of the thrown pill, I could see Momoka who gave me a glance far away. My hand immediately reached for the pill given by Momoka and swallowed it without thinking. Duugg... Duugg... Along with my heart beating fast from the effects of caffeine, I began to feel calm and my body began to get used to dealing with excessive magical energy like this. I, who had not listened to any explanation until now, began to listen carefully. The energy pressure from a Witch was so extraordinary that even people who were weak to the intensity of magical energy began to cause casualties and fainted. I was one of the lucky victims because I received a pill given directly by Momoka. Now, my gaze was fixed on a Witch who spoke at length without knowing that her magical shockwave had caused casualties. My body, which was still shaking in panic after feeling the magical shockwave, began to calm down. "Weiss, are you okay?" asked Chizuru who was now starting to give me her recovery magic energy. "Chizuru, if you can, please do it to someone else first. Although this is a bit embarrassing, my body is starting to get used to the shockwaves of magic given by that Witch," I replied while directing my gaze to the people who had fainted with their mouths open and foaming. "I understand, please don't force yourself as someone we have trusted," said Chizuru who began to direct her recovery magic to the students who had fainted. Chizuru did a heroic act where she gave recovery magic to students who were not used to receiving exposure to magic energy that could make someone faint if exposed to it for too long. It was like radiation that could cause pain if exposed to it for a long enough time. With the casualties who fainted like this, I understood a little about the characteristics of the Witch who was talking in front of me. Her actions of not caring about exposing her magic energy for too long had created a big mess like this. "It's really stupid if she keeps talking using her magic energy when the victims have fallen unconscious like this. Isn't there anyone sensitive to the current situation other than Chizuru?" I said while giving my loud mutter that suddenly sounded along with the silence that had just occurred. "..." "..." When the silence occurred, several gazes were directed at me and Chizuru who was using her magic energy to restore the students who had fainted. We had become the source of gazes that made the silence fall again. With all the gazes directed at me and my loud mutter, I could feel the sweat on my back spreading rapidly. I tried to find a logical reason for my previous words that seemed to attack the feelings of a Witch who was staring sharply at me. My brain which was under the influence of caffeine had found several appropriate sentences but had not been filtered with polite words. "I heard that this is a Special High School that accepts various races from other worlds. But it was just a silly boast after the human race of Earth who is not used to being exposed to magic got sick like this." "If this is allowed to continue, it's the same as the races from other worlds just looking for new entertainment to see human-shaped monkeys who are not used to being exposed to magic." "This is quite embarrassing where the tests that have been done should have shown that the human race of earth is too weak to be exposed to magic energy." The sentence that I threw out just happened like someone who was having a tantrum by seeing the flawed thinking error in front of his own eyes. "Sage from another world? That looks more like a master who wants to show off her magic dominance to all her slaves who come from another world." With this one sentence, I felt like I was digging my own grave with that impolite sentence. My racing heartbeat and my seemingly calm attitude in giving my words that were too emotionally piercing to her and created a small commotion from student whispers about me. The person known as the Witch and the holder of the title of Sage From Another World immediately lowered her pointed magic hat until her face was visible. Her body seemed to look at me with a cold and sharp gaze before looking around her. The movement of her head looking around had proven my words about her who had just caused a victim who had fainted with her shock magic wave. "I apologize for my stupid mistake," she said while narrowing her magic wave that was starting to subside. With her head movement lowered downwards, it seemed to show her attitude of sincerely apologizing. "It seems like my habit of using magic energy all the time must be stopped," she continued her words while looking at me. "That will caused another problem. Your body will feel uncomfortable and your muscle memory will naturally use magic energy like what happened at the cooperation meeting between the representatives of Earth and the representatives of your world," I replied in a calm tone that further dug my own grave after the unintentional provocation. "It would be better if students who are not used to being exposed to magical energy receive a small, gradual intake of magical energy so that the number of fainting victims can be controlled and become fewer," I continued by suggesting the problem solution. "I will try my best to do that," she replied as she put on her pointed hat again. When I spoke to this Witch, I felt quite strange. For some reason I didn't understand, our conversation felt relaxed even with my rude words. This made me wonder about this. Does my status as a future S-class candidate student have such a great influence on a Witch who has earned the title of Sage of Another World like this? "Um, thank you for the advice. I am very pleased with the advice given directly by someone who managed to clear a hundred-floor Test Dungeon without fighting and even hunting down the Dungeon Master who created the Test Dungeon itself..." she said while looking at me as if giving a public introduction of myself. "Your words have led me to believe that the lowest potential of the weak human race on earth can become a dangerous S-class candidate in the future, Weiss Guderian..." she continued by mentioning my name in front of the students of this Special High School. Along with the Witch's words, several sharp gazes were directed at me, and started taking pictures of me sitting quietly like this. "Hey! Weiss Guderian... Isn't his name recorded as someone who managed to clear the Test Dungeon with a realistic level of difficulty without getting attacked!" said one of the students echoing in the Special High School Hall. "Aahh!! You're right! In addition to clearing the Test Dungeon without getting hurt. He also hunted the Dungeon Master until he was traumatized by seeing a swarm of ants. Umm... What does that mean? Why... the Dungeon Master be traumatized by a swarm of ants?" said another student who was holding his smartphone as if he was looking at my personal information that had been shared on the internet. When that statement appeared and raised many questions from other students, a Witch who was in the middle of the Special High School Hall suddenly snapped her fingers until a flashback of me appearing in the Test Dungeon and hunting the Dungeon Master using a swarm of ants. The flashback showed me controlling the swarm of ants to hunt the Dungeon Master. Visit freewe????(n)ovel.????ℴ???? for the best novel reading exp????rience
