"And now, before we end this ceremony, we must acknowledge our new top 4 genius students this Academy year..." The students then clapped theirs hands while the four walked into the front stage. "Student Leroy of the Giant continent! Student s.h.i.+ena of the Mythia Continent! Student Yuri of the human continent and student Blaike of also the Human continent! Around of applause everyone!" The four's uniform has the same for their perspective cla.s.s Insignia type, but they have a golden star badge shown from their left chested part on their Collar.

everyone inside the Gym were all shocked and felt amazed by the four, but the most starstruck and their attention was Blaike, for wearing his uniform with the moonstone necklace, Granny's scarf and also his cold and mysterious appearance. "And now our Top Four First Year Genius Students will have something to say to each and everyone of you, so please listen up. First up is students s.h.i.+ena....." s.h.i.+ena and Leroy gave their 5 minutes speech and all the students heard and clapped to them. "Thank you student Leroy, now lets move on to our top two student, the next one got the 2nd position, it's Student Blaike! Please Student Blaike.." He then walked into the microphone, a lot of girls and boys got so excited on his voice while blushed and cheered for him. Blaike felt so nervous but Yang told him before coming to the Academy, that he must withstand his nervousness and act as cool as a man with posture. "Good morning everyone, I'm Hwan Blaike. Hoping for us all to have a wonderful year, study and work hard, and make yourself proud. Thank you my fellow students." He then walked back to his seat.

The students got kind of shocked for a mere seconds but they then started screaming and cheering up for him so very loud. "His voice is so cute?!" "He looks really like a girl!? with a cute boy voice!?" "He is from our cla.s.s?! I'm so lucky!" "I wanna be friends with him too!?" "I think i'm in love!?" The girls and even boys shouted his name. Blaike felt so embarra.s.sed and happy about it, but the one next to him got feeling so irritated and annoyed by him. *I don't understand this daughter of Vice President? What's with her? Did I do anything wrong or something? She is always make that face every time we see each other, am I bad?.* *Hhhmm?.. He just gave a very small speech but still the crowd loves him, what a nice feeling having so many supporters.. Well he can't help it, He got a very wonderful physique after all... hehehe..* Dean Alatar got surprised by the crowds respond on Blaike.

"Now.. Now.. Students be quiet, please be quiet.. Hhmm..." He then suddenly raised his hands up, then all the students suddenly stopped talking. "Good, now we still have another last Genius Students who got the first rank position in this Academy year so please help me welcome her, student Yuri." They then clapped and also cheered for her, since she is also one of the most beautiful girl in the land. "h.e.l.lo everyone! My name is Park Yuri and I am the daughter of White Sand City's Vice President! So all of you must know and respect me! I don't care who you are or where you came from, but you must always know your place....." Yuri's speech took 5 minutes. She was just having her arrogant words and feeling like she was very famous and all, the students just cheered for her and clapped their hands while others were so scared of her, and never wanted to be friends with her. "Now first year students! Have a good year, study harder and Train your b.u.t.t off! Enjoy every days you have to spend and make use of your time! I am now congratulating all of you for becoming the First year outer students in White Rose Academy and Welcome to White Rose Academy!"

Dean Alatar told all the 1st year students to go to their perspective dorms and they can also tour themselves inside the campus. So as Dean Alatar, ended their ceremony, they then walked out from the academy main hall. But the four genius students stayed with him inside the main hall. "Since the four of you are now the new top genius students, don't be so confident and c.o.c.ky about it and chill yourself having that Star Badge, because being a top student in White Rose Academy will your life become very hard from now on. You have a role to protect your badge, keep and hold it for it has so many benefits from this academy. You have so many advantages that you can do that others can't. You have an access from every corner of the academy, except the holy island. You have the access to go through the library's third and fourth floor and borrowed books there, you can eat anything and everything for it is free and also invite your friends to eat what they want. You can also have your own room from the private house, you can also skip cla.s.s for a week or even months. But the problem is that, all the outer students from 1st to 6th year will be eyeing on your badge and soon they will take your position for that, and you will become just like a normal outer student. Do you understand what I am saying?" "Yes Dean Alatar!" The four responded.

"and I almost forgot, you can also request anything that we can provide, so do you all have some request right now?" He asked again. "Sir Dean Alatar, I would like to request for a video game." Leroy requested, "sure, I will send my guard to deliver it into your room right away." "Uhmm.. I would like to request for some flower pots please." s.h.i.+ena also requested, "sure sure, I will also deliver them immediately." "Dean Alatar! I would like to have a bigger room than anyone else, with an owned bathroom, Walk in Closet, table and chair in the balcony and a big master size bed." "Huh?" "What? You can't grant it?" "... Aheemm yes yes! I will work on that immediately." Dean Alatar got really surprised by her request, because he knew that there's no room just like that for students for the room same as that were only for the teachers and staff members. He then looked at Blaike and waiting for his request, but Blaike made a blank face. "What about you student Blaike? Do you have any request for today?" "Hmm.. Grandpa Dean I am so sorry but I really don't have any request right now." "Just request for some simple things, like toys, weapons, items crystal energy. Anything." "Hhmm.. Oh... I forgot.. I would like to request myself to go home everyday since my house is just located near the Academy. will that be okay?" "Hhhmm?... Well the problem is that if you got in danger, the Academy will no longer be responsible for your aide, any accidents, or tragedy events will no longer be our support for you." "It's okay Grandpa Dean, as long as you have accepted it.." "Ohh?"

*That's okay but why does he wanted that? Maybe we wanted to be with his family everyday... hoho Such a good kid, maybe I'll make him another request.* "Hhmm.. Anything else besides that? Since it's not actually a request." "I really don't have, thank you Grandpa Dean." The Dean never forced him again and they then walked out from the main hall. "Little Blaike! Little Blaike!" "Stupid Blaike! Look here!" Two familiar voice coming from behind him while running, he heard them, so he immediately look back and saw them. "Noona Maria? Big noona Liang?" The two then hugged him so tight. "Blaike-kun! Who are they?" s.h.i.+ena asked him. "Ohh... They are my big sisters, She's Sung Maria, my childhood close friend and she's Big sis Yue Liang, my co-worker friend." "Uhmm.. h.e.l.lo i'm s.h.i.+ena Jones, nice to meet you big sisters. Soryy I'm so very shy, i hope we can be friends too?" "Hahaha that's okay! Don't worry about it and we can really be friends too!" Liang responded happily. "Since we are done introducing ourselves, why not come along with us and let the two of us tour you both around." Maria added and guide the Blaike and s.h.i.+ena around. *Wait, Why am I the only one guy in this group?!* Blaike felt so shamed to have no guy friends.

"I missed you so so much! You left without telling me!? And it took you one whole year! Where have you been?" Maria asked in a very worrisome yet mad expression. "I was actually having a vacation with my Auntie, that's why we spent a year for that, sorry." "Uuhmm.. What do you mean by that Blaike-kun? So are you also rich?" "Hmm? of course not, for I lived in a small village back then. It was just my Auntie who is rich, not me." "Come on let's go and get something to eat! I'm starving right now!" Liang changed their topic, so they then proceed to the cafeteria together. While they're eating, all the students at the cafeteria were all keep staring blus.h.i.+ngly and mesmerized by Blaike's appearance. Blaike felt so embarra.s.sed while the three laughed at him. "Anyways what happened with you two? How did you both met?" Blaike asked. "Well actually, we met because I was the one who delivered your gift for her and I was also the one who accompanied her during her birthday. And then we met last year's entrance examination too and also a lot had happened.." Liang explained and she then stopped for she wanted Maria to continue.

*Is there something happened back then? Why are they hesitant to explain?* Blaike felt something wrong about it. "Noona Maria, what's wrong? You can always share that problem with me right? I'm one of your brother now, remember?" "shheess.h.!.+ Since you really wanted to know it, then I don't have a choice. Actually I was also one of the Genius Student just like you last year, but... But my brother took and betrayed me... When we met before, I thought brother Mario just wanted me to train and have to shared our skills together, but he was actually aiming for my Star Badge.. He humiliated me in front of his friends and even chased me away... He is such a horrible brother now than before." She felt so embarra.s.sed and disappointed on herself when talking and small tears came out from her eyes. Blaike got upset when he heard what Maria's experienced with her brother back then.
