PERSIL AND IZURI HEADED TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TEMPLE TO RECRUIT THE NEXT STUDENTS FOR THE NEW CLASS.
"Mm, I haven't crossed this place since I came to the temple"- Izuri said.
PERSIL AND IZURI CROSS OVER A RATHER LONG STONE PATH.
"This path leads to the second graders, you were in the first graders' part"- said Persil sighing.
"Really the Principal didn't inform you of anything? - Persil asked Izuri.
"No, ha ha" - Izuri replied holding his hand to his head.
"We're almost there, just stay behind me" - Persil said seriously.
"Why, those guys are not friendly".
"They are very cocky" - Persil said while smiling.
"Heh, we'll see" - Izuri said.
PERSIL AND IZURI ENTERED A MAIN HALL AND THERE THE STUDENTS WERE PRACTICING HOW TO PERFORM SPELLS LIKE THE ONES HEADMASTER NOTIFISHU DID EARLIER.
"What are they doing, magic? - Izuri asked in confusion.
"It's called 'Spells', it's a kind of technique used by us" - Persil answered.
THE STUDENTS HAD JUST STOPPED TRAINING AND WENT TO REST, SOME STUDENTS SPLIT INTO GROUPS OF FRIENDS AND LEFT AND OTHERS STAYED IN THE GYM....
"That's the one over there, follow me" - Persil said.
THEY ARRIVED TO WHERE A GROUP OF FRIENDS WAS.
THE GUYS IN THE GROUP WERE TALL, MUSCULAR AND LOOKED TOO STRONG.
"Hey you, come here" - Persil said to one boy.
"Heh, oh Persil what are you doing here, did you get scared outside? Haha, you're such a wimp!" - Said the boy loudly almost shouting while laughing out loud.
"Mm, come here I have to talk to you" - Persil said while looking serious.
THE BOY REALIZED THE SITUATION AND AGREED TO TALK TO PERSIL.
"What's it all about, what do you want to talk to me for? - Said the boy.
"According to the statistics in your report, you have a potential to be an "S" rank "Mantra" or even... 'S' higher." - Said Persil seriously.
"Really?, well when I got here I was told I had potential but not what rank" - Said the boy.
"And... who is the guy behind you, I've never seen him" - Asked the boy confused.
"... He is Izuri Haruku, a freshman. That's why I came to tell you this because they will open a new class... with the most powerful students... and you are requested to join, Izuri is already part of the class, are you interested in joining" - Persil said with a calm look.
"I'm in! - Said the boy without thinking twice.
"What energy" - Izuri said in the background sighing.
"Are you sure, you could end your life at any moment" - Persil affirmed with a serious look.
"Of course!, I will end any 'Soul' that gets in my way" - Said the Boy pounding his fists.
. . .
"I'm Kenji Dairiseki, nice to meet you, you're Izuri aren't you" - Said the boy enthusiastically.
"Yes, that's right" - Izuri said.
"So how many of us are in the new class?" - Kenji asked enthusiastically.
"Heh... for now three" - Persil said enthusiastically raises his hand and shows three fingers.
KENJI GOES FROM ENCOURAGED TO DISCOURAGED QUICKLY....
"But the fourth student remains to be recruited" - Persil said.
KENJI REGAINS HIS SPIRITS IN 0.3 SECONDS.
"I'm glad to hear that, who is the next student, who is it, who is it! - Said Kenji fluttering all over the place.
"It's a girl, second year student, her name is... Himawari! - Persil said as he pulled out the report.
"So, what are we waiting for let's go find her!" - Kenji said excitedly and ran off to look for her.
PERSIL AND IZURI WERE PERPLEXED AS THEY WATCHED KENJI QUICKLY LEFT WITHOUT KNOWING WHERE HIMAWARI WAS.
"What temple district is she in?" - Izuri asked Persil.
"She is in the 'Magic' district... and it is towards the other side" - Persil said.
PERSIL AND IZURI HEADED TOWARDS THE MAGIC DISTRICT (ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE FROM WHERE KENJI HEADED).
"She is strong" - Izuri asked while walking with Persil.
"It seems so" - Persil replied.
. . .
THEY ARRIVED AT THE DISTRICT AND WHAT THEY SAW WAS... A PLACE WITH MANY WOODEN HUTS AND MANY GIRLS GATHERED IN DIFFERENT GROUPS, BUT AT THE BACK THERE WAS A GIRL LOOKING AT THE GROUND AS IF SHE WAS BORED.
"Which one is it" - Izuri asked looking around.
"It's the one over there" - Persil said.
"Which one? There are many girls here" - Izuri asked.
"It's just that "magic" is preferred more by girls than men." - Persil said with a calm voice as she headed towards the back of the place.
"Hey you, you're Himawari aren't you!" - Persil asked with the deep voice to the girl who was sitting looking at the ground at the back of the place.
"He?...yeah, it's me, why are you yelling at me who do you think I am? - Himawari said yelling at Persil.
"No big deal either, you seemed to be distracted by that, ha ha" - Persil replied in a low voice while laughing and holding her hand to her head.
. . .
"Well.... I'll get straight to the point, what he came here for was to recruit you to a new class that will open when we are full students" - Persil said seriously.
"He?..... what is the new class about? - Himawari asked.
"The recruited students are the strongest students that the temple has, these same students will be used to face the most powerful "Souls",... According to your report you are 'S' rank and you have a potential to be "S" rank higher. - Persil said in serious mode to Himawari.
"Hee, she's an "S" rank? - Izuri asked in surprise.
"That's right, although I don't usually brag, almost no one knows that I'm 'S' rank, except the Masters and Directors" - Himawari said in a thoughtful state.
"And who the heck are you" - Himawari asked Izuri pointing his finger at him.
"Ha, I am Izuri Haruku, it's a pleasure and I will participate in the new class that Persil told you about. - Izuri said happily.
"He seems to be a boy of "C" rank" - Himawari thought.
"And how many Members are there in the new class?" - Himawari asked Persil.
"Mm, if you join we would be four" - Answered Persil as he smiled and raised his hand and pointed four fingers.
"Heh, very few, I join!" - Himawari said excitedly.
"Perfect now we will go to the hall, Follow me! - Persil said loudly and enthusiastically.
THE THREE OF THEM, PERIL, IZURI AND HIMAWARI WALKED TOWARDS THE HALL WHERE MASTER NITO WILL BE. MEANWHILE KENJI... ENDED UP LOST IN THE TEMPLE BATHS.
HOW WILL THE MEETING OF HIMAWARI AND KENJI BE?
