The Ice Line's

Chapter 6: First Class

I stopped in front of the classroom door just after one step in, I saw the figure that was staring at me, “Wow.... It was really unexpected that he would become my teacher..” Well. Actually I have feelings. That, he's gonna be my teacher and it turns out it's really him.

I stepped into the classroom towards Alissa's side....

I stopped by Alissa's side and faced the disciples who were sitting at their respective tables, “Alright disciples, today we have the arrival of a new disciple from a distant place, namely the kingdom of Alvia. He has a unique ability to control ice element magic and since the academy does not yet have a special class for ice magic, the academy leaders decided to put him in the water magic class. You can introduce your name now and also you can show your magic to your friends,”, Alissa told all the students in this class.

The disciples started whispering to each other, maybe they were talking about me who came from the desert. However, being able to use ice magic that "said" is extremely rare. Well it could be, right?

I took a breath and started introducing myself, “Hai everyone, my name is Kivasta Ekova Lanhamr, just call me Kivasta. I come from the kingdom of Alvia. However, I decided to stay in Setavia. Greetings know everyone,” said I introduced myself to the way of speech that is not intention and eyes that are not expression. More like a forced man and I'm really being forced.

Then I took out some kind of ice magic energy in my hand to show the ice magic I had. All the disciples were amazed to see the ice magic I had.

After showing me ice magic, Alissa asked me to sit down, “You can sit there Kivasta, you know,” said Alissa while showing the table is behind the top and there is a person who slightly waved at me. Yes, he was yesterday. Chiva. It turned out that what he said was true.that, I would be in a class with him.

I walked up the stairs between the tables of other students. I sat down next to Chiva who was smiling as I sat next to him.

Alissa started the magic lesson. While I was observing the whole class closely. I think this class is very good with beautiful paintings, and the layout of the table and chairs that directly blend with the floor and the shape that rises to the top like a university in Alvia.

At first I thought every class would either be filled with men or filled with women. Apparently not, even though here has a dorm system. However, here the disciples still hung out with each other regardless of gender.

Chiva patted me on the shoulder while I was watching the painting and the classroom walls, “What did you notice Kivasta?” Chiva asked with curiosity.

“Just paying attention to paintings and class walls only really,”, I replied while continuing to pay attention to the snow mountain landscape painting on the wall.

“Does anything catch your attention from all the paintings that are plastered on the wall?” Ask Chiva again while bringing himself closer to me.

“I'm just looking at it, please don't get too close..,” replied me while pushing it a little so as not to get too close to my body.

“Hey, what mark is on the back of your neck?” Shit, I forgot that I still have the slave mark on my neck! It could be bad if another student knew about the mark on my neck.

I covered the back of my neck with the collar of the academy uniform, “You don't need to know..”.

“Oh, it is sign-”

Before he could finish his words I had already cut him off, “Diam!” I told him to be quiet and not to say something that would let people know my secret.

Alissa mentioned our names, told me and Chiva uniquely noiseless during lesson hours, “Kivasta, Chiva. You do not be noisy when Mom is teaching, pay attention to the lesson better,” he said in a soft voice as if seducing.

“Good Bu...,” answered both of us compactly.

This time I noticed what Alissa was teaching in front of the class. He taught about the notion of magic manipulation being a weapon, just like what I did back then.

I still did not expect that my fate would end here. Although, this is better than before.

While I was watching Alissa, she suddenly called me to practice elemental magic manipulation into a weapon, “Kivasta, please you example to your friends how to manipulate elemental magic into a weapon.”

I stood up, descending through the stairs leading to the front of the classroom. I went to all the students in the class and started doing the practice Alissa said.

With ice magic I created a sword with the typical shape of Alvia or desert, which is curved. All the disciples who saw were amazed and fascinated after I created the sword that came from ice magic. Of course, the whole sword was made of ice.

“Good Kivasta you showed it well in front of your friends. Now I want you in the next 2 weeks to have mastered at least one weapon element magic, be it a sword, bow, spear, or whatever it is that matters you have mastered one. Understand everything?” Alissa asked waiting for the answer from all the students.

“Understand Mom,” reply all students.

“Good lesson is up, you can rest and after that resume another lesson.”

Alissa suddenly pulled my hand out of the classroom.

“Where are we going?!” Asked who was surprised when he took me out.

“Cute me.”

He took me to a quiet place, under the stairs of the first floor.

“I brought you here because I wanted to tell you. That, that slave mark will not be lost before you complete your contract, which is to help against the Veratha empire and If you do not obey.... Understand?” Alissa asked while slightly looking down and brought her scary face close to my face.

I turned to the right and answered him, “Yes, yes I understand...”.

Alissa took my face away from me, “Good, now you can rest,” Alissa left just a moment before the clanking of bells rang which signified a time of rest.

I was looking for the canteen. However, it was not the cafeteria I found but Chiva who was walking towards me....

Chiva started running towards me and stopped in front of me, “Where are you going?” Ask Chiva.

“I'm looking for a canteen,” I replied.

“Ah..., so you don't know where the canteen is yet, just follow me.”

“Alright...,” I started following him to the cafeteria because I didn't know where the canteen was.

When I was in the cafeteria, Chiva ordered food, the food was free for the students. After that, Chiva and I walked to the dinner table and brought their own food.

Just sitting down came 5 students who were bluffing us, telling us to leave this table....
