A bright morning, though,
A bunch of birds lined up with each other while singing cheerfully out there. The blue sky welcomes every human being to activity.
But Clement still ignored him.
"Mr Clement!" call one of the maidservants complete with her maid uniform.
"Time to wake up in the morning!" he said as he opened the window curtains so that the morning sunlight dazzled both views of Clement. He just woke up from sleep with his eyes half closed.
"Hmm," said Clement who was still sleepy.
"Don't laze around" said the maid. "Monday has to start in a good mood!"
"Mrs Kasie is waiting for you in the dining room."
"Yes yes!" answer the sleepy Clement. He answered with no intention.
"That's noisy!" his gerrick.
"Your clothes have been prepared in the chair," he explained and immediately left Clement who was sitting on the side of the bed soft and it was very difficult for him to get up from the comfortable object.
He stared at the time on the wall clock.
Already showed at 08:00 exactly. School starts at 09:15.
Currently Clement is in the final level class. All the tests he passed and his announcement remains today. He is aiming for high academic grades because he is quite weak in terms of theory rather than practice.
Clement attended the Alvist School of Witchcraft, the magic school of nobles and conglomerates. Although he attended school there, but in the curriculum is not only studying magic, but studying Mathematics, Science, and Sports as well even though the three lessons are only interest and magic entered the mandatory curriculum.
Finally, after Clement felt his sleepiness was quite gone, he got out of his comfortable mattress and went straight to the bathroom to clean himself. About a few minutes after getting ready, he came out of his comfortable room and went down the stairs to the dining room. Complete wear a white uniform with a red ribbon tie patterned checkered and deep purple trousers.
"Bag darling!" greet the mother to Clement who had arrived in the dining room first, along with the father who was eating breakfast with a cup of black coffee and bread spread butter.
Typical breakfast of nobles.
Clement returned his mother's greeting while smiling at her.
"Today is a special day!" said mother. "Certainly no?"
"I don't know if I should say it's special today or not" Clement replied. "I'm worried about my academic grades, ma'am."
"I'm sure you got the best score, son!" said the mother who was putting butter on her bread. "Clement is a super great mom and dad!"
Clement just smiled as he headed for one of the chairs adjacent to mom and dad. Upon arrival, he immediately took out a box of cereal and cow's milk on a long table.
"Do you have any plans after you graduate?" ask Dad suddenly.
"My plan is to sign up for the Alvist Magic Academy after this graduation," Clement replied as he poured a box of cereal into his bowl. "It just so happened that this spring he opened the registration after I saw it in the mading near the post office."
"That's great!" answer Father. "You must always develop your magic and not become extinct."
"Because of that Dominique's legacy has gone downhill" he explained.
Dominique is actually a noble clan from next to my father where the clan is owned by nobles who are experts in great magic. So each of his descendants, inherited great magic where the main medium is playing cards. We his descendants were allowed to develop their own techniques even it is highly recommended.
"Good, Dad!" answer Clement. "I'll do it."
"Super great mom and dad!" obviously Mother. "No doubt about it."
Clement blushed shyly. "Stop, Mom!"
Mother immediately stroked her hair that was curly like a wave.
"Oh yes" said Clement. "The announcement of the passing grade will start in half an hour!"
He immediately finished the cereal in his bowl until it was not left.
"Slow down, you'll choke!" said the mother who observed Clement's movements.
"I'm used to it, ma'am," she replied.
"Bah, father and mother!" he said he immediately rushed to leave the dining table and wore a dark purple suit and a hat that was hanging on a wooden hanger.
"You haven't put on your shoes!" said the father who laughed at Clement's carelessness.
"Ah yes," Clement immediately picked up a pair of shiny black socks and shoes and immediately put them on.
"Bah, father and mother!" clement said again as he waved to them. "Honey you!"
"Be careful on the road, baby!" said mom and dad at the same time while returning my hand.
Clement was starting to get further away from them.
His school days, Clement was always on foot, because the location of the school and his house was close. Not for more than 10 minutes. In addition, walking is actually more healthy body.
People are busy doing their activities on the street so that the streets become crowded. Lots of cars on the streets.
"Yo, Clement!"
"Yes!" the answer.
"Be careful, son!"
"Thank you, Bi!"
Many people greeted him every time he left like he is today. They are all friends of father and mother who like to come home. This is all because of the behavior of fathers and mothers who are too extroverted and like to share things.
Clement only answers as it is because he is not too able to interact with others so that not infrequently some people consider him arrogant.
This is who I am anyway!
"Dam!"
I turned to the source of the voice. It turned out that Andri greeted Clement from a distance. Andri was a good friend of Clement since his freshman year at Alvist School. His house is not far from the location of Clement's house which only differs 3 blocks.
Andri always comes first to school. But this time Clement was astonished by the boy.
Tumben once he's gone at this hour ....
He ran towards Clement. Clement's step was immediately stopped while staring at Andri's presence.
"Hey, man!" greet Clement. "You're sweating!"
"I'm late to wake up" he said. "The wall in my room is dead."
"You're not late yet" Clement said. "Look at me now!"
"There's no way I'd walk around late."
"Oh," said Andri. "It's so stupid of me!"
Clement put on a smiling face. Then he said, "Let's walk together."
Andri nodded with a smile. His face was flushed from running. His black hair was exposed to the morning sunlight. Finally, Clement did not himself go to school as usual, but now accompanied by Andri who this time left at this time.
--
Arriving at the Alvist School of Witchcraft.
A large banner was seen in the school building.
"ANNOUNCEMENT DAY OF FINAL TEST SCORES"
Okay fine!
His heart started to beat fast however, he was trying to stay relaxed.
Final-level students began to enter the school environment. Most of them are with their friends.
For 9 years, he studied here. I don't think this is his graduation day.
Getting closer to the future.
"Hi!" greeting Elise suddenly who approached Clement and Andri who were walking into the school hall. Elise while carrying a female friend whom they do not know.
Elise is a famous and beautiful girl in school who has been liked by Andri secretly. Clement continued to observe Andri's face which instantly turned nervous and flushed like a tomato. Andri's arm is nudged using his elbow. This is the first time Andri met face to face with Elise because previously Andri only saw Elise from a distance.
"Stupid answer!" clement whispered to Andri who was silent a thousand words.
"H—hello!" andri said stammering.
"Are you okay, Andri?" elise asked, astonished to see Andri's behavior.
"NO!" Andri immediately broke away from the three of them and went somewhere. He instantly disappeared, drowning among the sea of crowds.
"Andri why?" elise asked Clement who was still standing before her.
"No idea" he answered briefly. Elise's face turned sad for a moment.
"Maybe he was in a hurry to defecate" Clement explained. Trying to melt the atmosphere that began to be awkward.
Elise sighed.
Suddenly, Clement's gaze fell upon a woman beside Elise. She smiled shyly at Clement. He decided to smile at Elise's friend while raising his right hand which signified, "Hi!"
"This is my friend, Rachel!" elise said while introducing her friend.
"Clement!" clement said as he reached out his right hand to invite him to shake hands. However, the woman named Rachel, seemed hesitant to shake hands with Clement.
"Hey!" whispered Elise to the timid Rachel. Finally, Rachel shook hands with Clement. I don't know how strange the moves are.
Suddenly he was thought of by Andri who was lost somewhere.
"Oh yeah," Clement said suddenly. "I have to find Andri right away."
"I'm sorry, maybe next time we can have a chat!" inexplicably.
"Oh well," said Elise. "May Andri be fine because her face looks pale to be honest."
"Don't worry, everything's safe!" clement. "Bye!"
She starts to step away leaving Elise and a friend of hers, Rachel. At first glance Elise answered the wave of Clement's hand while smilingly looking at him from a distance. They both disappeared in the crowd of students.
Clement's hunch said that Andri was in the toilet.
All right, I'll be there!
Shortly after arriving at the toilet, Clement saw Andri who was glazed in the mirror with both hands attached to the edge of the sink.
Staring at her shabby self.
"It's stupid of you to leave!" clement said annoyed.
"I can't face him, Clement," Andri said. "I don't deserve him."
"It's stupid of you to think that" said Clement, who began to rise in blood. "Your stupidity and fear make you fall and not confident!"
"But—"
Clement immediately pulled Andri's collar. "STOP ALL YOUR SILLY DRAMAS!"
"SHOW YOUR AUTHORITY IN FRONT OF THE WOMAN YOU LOVE!" snapped it. Then he took off his grip on Andri's collar.
Clement immediately let out a long breath. Putting his emotions into the air.
"I'm so tired!" clement said as he looked at the mirror inside the toilet.
Andri immediately fell silent after hearing Clement's explanation.
Silent sculpting.
"in 5 minutes the test score announcement ceremony will begin soon,"
"It's up to you to come with me or not" Clement continued, stepping towards the exit.
Not a step, Andri immediately followed Clement. "Wait for me!"
His behavior is like a chick following its mother. So Clement can guess Andri's behavior and somewhat threatening. Andri himself can not stay too long.
Arrive time for graduation grade announcement.
"Bonum mane, omnes!" greet Mr. Szymon to all the students from the stage.
Translation:
Good morning everyone!
"Bonum mane, domine!" The students simultaneously raised their right hand to the chest in a clenched position. The movement has been carried out since the first year at the Alvist School of Magic.
Translation:
Good morning, sir!
" Diem bonam, omes" said Mr. Szymonite. "Today is the day of your graduation!"
Translation:
All good days.
"This value will determine your future" said Mr. Szymonite. "It all depends on your efforts during these 9 years."
"Fine, rather than long, I'd better name the highest scorer in your generation."
Instantly within this vast hall came silence. All the faces of the students seemed resigned, also impatient to know the results of their hard work.
"The highest value is held by ...."
"CLEMENT DOMINIQUE!!"
Clement did not think that he was called by Mr. Syzmon uses loudspeakers. Instantly the sound of applause deafened his ears.
"With an average of 91.00 interest lessons and an average of 398.6 magic lessons."
In the assessment at the Alvist School of Witchcraft, an average score of >87.00 on interest lessons, was considered the highest grade point average. Not all children can achieve such a high average. Most of them only gained an average of 85.00-86.50 at the most. I don't know what possessed him so that he could achieve such high interest lesson grades. You could say he managed to make history at this school.
Actually Clement is more inclined to magic lessons because he always gets the most satisfactory grades among all students in his class. Already several times he had jumped materials due to his unnatural magic level.
All the students clapped their hands while staring at Clement. "Good buddy!"
"You're great!"
"Cool!"
In disbelief, he headed onto the stage. Mr. Syzmon appears to be carrying two certificates and an award medal from the school and directly giving it to Clement.
"Congratulations on your achievements, Clement!" he said while giving Clement an award medal from the school and two certificates. Clement immediately took the two precious objects. However, an article in one of the certificates managed to grab his attention.
"STUDENT TO ALVIST ACADEMY OF MAGIC"
"Sir!" call him to Mr. Syzmonite. "Are you serious?"
Mr. Syzmon smiled as well.
"Of course, son!" he said while embracing Clement's shoulder.
"Thank you very much, sir!" answer Clement. He felt his efforts for 9 years finally paid off. Her feelings were extremely happy that she had managed to get a scholarship to the Alvist Magic Academy without any tests.
The Alvist Magic Academy is the most excellent and prestigious magic academy in Steich. Everyone who enters the academy must pass the initial test. And he said, to pass the test, it was quite difficult. The quota of student admissions there are only dozens of people from thousands of applications. Tight as hell, isn't it?
This is a chance Clement has to take.
For the sake of my future to become a great magic gifted human like father!
Clement is welcome to make a speech on stage. Look at all the students he was with.
Honestly, he was not used to making speeches in public places like today. Cold sweat immediately soaked his clothes.
Groggily,
But he has to face.
Clement immediately took a long breath. Then let go of all his disturbing thoughts.
"Good morning everyone!" The first sentence that came out of his mouth through a loudspeaker.
"Formerly, my name is Clement Dominique who represents the students here, would like to thank the teachers who have guided us all over these 9 years as well as Mr. Syzmon has motivated us so much that we can be like this now, as well as our parents who are always there at all times."
"I honestly did not expect what I had achieved during my time at the Alvist Magic School" he explained. "Even when I got a scholarship to the Alvist Magic Academy, I was so very happy because it was my dream all along!"
"I can't wait to tell my parents right away!" continued.
"To all of you present today, continue to reach your sky-high ideals!"
"We are all the next generation of light-bearers for humanity" Clement explained.
"Then let's get the spirit to achieve a good and meaningful future for humans!"
"Because the future is right in front of all of us!" clement explained with passion. "Second of me, thank you!"
Instantly the sound of applause rumbled in every corner of the hall room, even until someone blew a whistle, either I did not know who he was.
"Yeah! That's my boy!" andri was on the front row.
After she went down the stage carrying two certificates and a school medal she was wrapped around her neck. Andri immediately embraced Clement while launching high-five.
"Thank you, Andri!" clement said with a smile.
"I'm sorry I've been bothering you so much all this time" he said. "I will follow all your proposals!"
"Well, that's my manly Andri!" clement said with a big smile. He kept staring at Andri who was like a chicken.
Shortly after the two-hour final grade announcement, the students were asked to take a picture of a class in the school's spacious courtyard and full of fresh green grass.
"Say cheese!" the photographer told them all to smile.
"CHEESE!"
Just a few minutes to take a picture of one generation, they finally dispersed and were allowed to return to their respective homes while carrying a value paper inserted into a purple tube of mangosteen.
Clement looked at Andri who was trying to start a conversation with Elise right near the school entrance. Finally, Andri followed Clement's advice to become a more authoritative man in the eyes of the woman he liked.
Suddenly a woman came to Clement who was sitting alone on a wooden bench in the school yard. He was a bit surprised because the woman who approached him was ....
Rachels.
His dark green hair was long around his shoulders.
Both Clement's views were rounded. "What's wrong?"
His presence made him wonder.
"Anu—" Rachel looked nervous once to say something. His face began to blush.
Clement ignored him because he did not speak to him. He was like a statue in front of Clement. He looked back at the beautiful blue sky.
"A—aku .... "
"What do you want to say?" ketus Clement. Can't wait to hear Rachel's vague sentence.
"I LOVE YOU!" rachel suddenly said.
"PLEASE ACCEPT THIS CHOCOLATE!" he continued while giving Clement a box of heart-shaped chocolates.
"I've been liking you since the fourth year of school, where you were showing me flower magic from playing cards during the festival last fall."
This is the first time Clement was given chocolate by a woman, even he did not think that all this time Rachel continues to observe it secretly and has liked him for a long time. Honestly, Clement just found out Rachel just this morning when she was with Elise.
Andri once told Clement that there were some other women who liked Clement secretly and only told Andri behind him.
I don't know what's interesting about me.
To be honest, he did not have any feelings for the girls at school. It is difficult to get the feeling as if there is a dividing wall that limits itself with feelings of like.
"Rachel," said Clement, trying not to hurt her feelings. "Thank you for the chocolate."
"But I don't mean to disappoint you" he continued. "I'm sorry I don't like you."
"Even we've just met, haven't we?"
"So I'm asking you to eat this chocolate" Clement explained. "Thank you for your understanding!"
He immediately got up from the wooden bench and left Rachel who was sculpting.
"Wait, Clement!" exclaim Rachel. Clement's steps stopped. "At least I want my chocolate you accept!"
"I really hope this chocolate can be felt by you" he explained.
His words surprised Clement.
"If you don't like me, I hope we can still be friends."
