Several years have passed, Nora is now 16 years old. She has grown into a beautiful girl, she also started her magical training from her school which is not that far from her hometown. Nora still remembers the day how her younger sister, Tamoe, helped her get away from the danger and lost herself in the process into the darkness. She never gives up on getting stronger but need time for it.

Nora joined a magical school, which bared the name of [ Astral Magical High School ] to learn more about magic that can help her rescue her younger sister. She needed some preparation before going into the school. She knows this because of her time growing up, her parents didn't even care about her. Only thing on their mind was their own career and getting praises from the Townlord.
Nora then, started to package her daily stuff, clothes, tools, the works, into her luggage. She also wrote a letter about going to the magical high school to her parents, she didn't give them but put it on the table. Once she put the letter on the table, she took her luggage and started heading out.
There was a man with an old hoodie standing in front of her house. He has a katana handle around his waist. From the looks of it, this is not an ordinary person, it's like a man with a skillful melee attack. For the first time, Nora sees an adult who can fully kill anyone with his katana but doesn't feel any magic flow around him.
He is just standing in front of her. Nora, understandably, was afraid, thinking this is the person who tried to kill her in the forest.
The man then, started to speak:
Are you Nora?
I'm a traveler from another town. Just having my little break around here for some lunch.
Also what's with the getup, you're going anywhere?
Nora replied:
Yeah, my name is Nora. How do you know my name?
Have we met before or—
—something stopped her from continuing speaking. The man didn't say anything, just waving his hand by replying no.
She was shocked and started to self defense, if the man come closer.
The man laughed a bit and said:
Haha you're a funny one, you know that.
Well, this is not the place for chatting, let's move towards the front gate of the town.
They are selling some food that I like, and you know what, I'll buy you some also.
Nora, lowered her guard, and follows the man.
She then, said:
I'm going to 「Astral Magical High School」, how about you?
Also, you still didn't tell me your name.
The man replied:
「Astral Magical High School」…
Oh sorry for that, you can just call me ‘ Chaos ’.
It's my nickname anyway. I can take you there.
Nora nodded and followed Chaos to the front gate.

Once they reach the food stall, Nora can't help but to let her saliva drip out from her mouth from all the tasty food around her.

Chaos noticed and said:
Are you hungry? Your saliva... It will ruin your beauty image in front of other people
She noticed and quickly replied:
No I'm not! hmph—
—which then follows by her stomach growling. She immediately became quiet and felt very embarrassed.
Chaos bought some food and gave it to Nora. Nora thanked him and went to have a lunch with Chaos. Her smile, is so sweet, even when she is eating. 「what a beauty, *haha*」
After having a delicious meal, Nora is ready to move on to the Magical School. They went to the front gate of the town, followed by Chaos. Chaos then, start chanting, but nothing happened, but somehow, out of nowhere, a horse came running to them.
He nonchalantly invite Nora to take the ride. Nora excitedly accept the offer.
Moments has passed, they're way out of the town. Nora, being left with her own thoughts, start to wonder why Chaos decided to help her for no particular reason. She asks Chaos, to which remains ignored.
Chaos cuts her off and said:
We should move faster, I can sense magical auras nearby.
Let's just hope they're not onto us.
Nora, in shock, said:
Oh no, is there a way to make them not detect us, can't you use any magic to dispel the trackers or—
—out of nowhere, Chaos started to hit the horse, so that it goes faster.
Hold tight, my lady.- Chaos
It seems like whoever it is, is tracking them and is currently chasing. Nora is very scared and starts to hold Chaos' waist super tightly. Chaos can feel that something, whatever it is, is coming closer to them. He makes sure that his hand is within the katana's reach, just in case.
They are still far from reaching the Magical School, but there is a dark forest nearby. Which, should be safe, from the thing that's chasing them. In the heat of the moment, Chaos decided to go to the forest to hide. The thing that's chasing them, suprisingly, did not follow them into the forest.
After enough time, he can see that it's actually a team of 5 men, which probably is after his head since there is a bounty under his name. One of them decided to not go into the forest because it's risky, the others did and fades into the forest.

「 Dark forest origin from the land of hell, before it was named as dark forest there is some case that happened. There was a big group of mages coming to the land of hell to search for clues for the forbidden ancient magic. There is one of them making a big mistake by summoning souls to seek through the wall and activate the traps by sealing all people's magic and random curses surrounding. Then several monsters will spawn around by the traps and start killing. Also there are many hidden traps and ancient magic seals inside the lands. Once traps are active, it will change the landscape to become more hidden. Therefore as you can see it changed the entire landscape from some hills covering surrounding ground becoming hills and forest form. As years pass soon it becomes a dark forest. 」

After Chaos and Nora go inside the forest, the horse runs away from the forest because it can sense the danger in the forest. Nora uses her magic sense to the surrounding area to check if there is any monster or enemy nearby. Her magic aura is not so strong, only can sense 500m surrounding her. *She feeling so embarrassed for being weak* Chaos detects her magic flow and tries to praise her for not being so sad. He even tries to give a thumbs up for her being good already for now. Nora is even more embarrassed because she doesn't know what to reply and her face is very red. * In Nora inner mind she is feeling fully dead by now * Chaos notices that her face is very red and tries to calm her down. Nora sees Chaos coming closer to her and her heartbeat is more raising, mostly wanting to explode. She tries to calm herself down by using some relaxing magic heal on herself. After some seconds pass, Chaos detects something is moving nearby and closer to the place they hide. The katana is ready anytime for anything coming around to them. His sharp eyes notice something jumping around in the front grass of them. Nora asks about something nearby, Chaos replies to her: " I think it is an animal in the front grass pile of us, probably a small animal. " She slowly sticks her head out to check the grass pile. There is something running out from the grass pile. A cute snowy fox jumping out from the grass and running towards Nora. She is shocked and excited about touching the foxy. The fox wasn't scared about Nora and let her touch its fur and body. Nora is enjoying patting the snowy fox while Chaos beside is concentrating on defending if anything comes nearby. She says: " This snowy fox is so cute~ Can we keep it? " Chaos thinks for a little while and replies to her: " If you like it then keep it as your pet, maybe it will help you when you are in danger. " She is so happy and continues playing with her new pet. " What should we name it? Let me think… How about calling it Daisy? I like the name~ " she said. Chaos nodded and at Daisy for a while, he can feel some magic flow from the little fox and he believes it can protect her when it's growing up. Nora has a deep thinking about her future and saving her sister, she says: " Can I follow you for the next move? I don't want to lose anything again from my side… Please, I beg you, don't leave me behind… " while having some tears come out from her eyes. Her words stunned Chaos for a while because she is serious about her next move. " I don't mind if you want to follow me for the entire time but you may want to know about the danger surrounding me. Sigh.. I will tell you the truth. Actually I'm getting wanted by the world for a bounty. If you don't mind getting wanted, you can join me for the journey. " he said and continued to stay guard. Nora accepts the invitation from Chaos. " Look like they all move into the deepside of the forest, there is no sense of magic aura nearby. Let's move out from the forest. " he said and held Nora's hand moving out to the forest. Nora is so embarrassed and she can't hide it because her other hand is helding Daisy. Daisy looks at her and smiles to let her calm.

After several turns in the forest, Chaos and Nora finally walk out from the dark forest and back to the track for going to Magical School. Chaos lets Nora's hand go because her face is turning so red. Daisy is howling and yawning then tries to sleep in Nora's hugs. The cuteness makes Nora can't handle it anymore and starts slowly patting Daisy for making it sleep. Chaos swings his hand and starts a summoning aura for a mount. He summons a dragon and it is ready to fly. He asks Nora to join for the ride or choose to walk to the school. She instantly rejects walking to the school and starts to scold Chaos for bullying her. He said " Haha don't be so angry my lady, wanna me lend a hand on helping you get up to the dragon? " Then she replied: " Yes please my.. " *she embarrassed till dead when try to say out the words* Chaos pulling her up to the dragon and flying off to the sky. They are having fun in the sky because no enemy can chase up the speed of the dragon. While on the way to the school, Nora asks Chaos: " How do I become stronger? I need more powerful magic to save my sister.. Please, tell me or teach me any of that magic.. I really need it… " she said with a soft sound. Chaos didn't reply to her and continued to focus on flying the dragon to their destination. After some flies, Chaos can see the castle looking building over the sky to the ground. Nora is excited about the school and what she will do there. Before landing in the Astral High School, there were several security systems for it. They have a lot of air force protection and magical shields because they need to protect from all area monster attacks and other school attacks. Chaos and Nora didn't want to activate those defense systems and they landed outside the school. After landing, Chaos tells the dragon,aka Erino to stay inside the cave that is located nearby to the school. Erino nodded and flew there. Chaos is holding Nora's hand and walks toward the school. *Nora feels blushed and wanna mine a hole and jump into it.* Chaos looks at her red face and tries to tease her by pulling her near him and doing a "princess hug". Nora's face is more red than before and she is very embarrassed. She tries to punch Chao because of the move he does. Chaos has some laughs on her and puts her down. *I wonder what she thinks* Nora blushes too much and doesn't want to talk to Chaos. He says: " Let's move on to the Astral High School and have your first registration there as a student." She laughs and says: " Yes, I will. Are you also a student here? " Chaos reply: " I did before but after some incident happened and I'm not a student at this school now. You can call me ‘senpai’ and I appreciate that. " She thinks for a while and nods her head.

After they reach the school gate, they are held by the guards for showing them the ID card or Student Pass. Nora doesn't have any of those because she is coming from a small village not a town. She was very scared when the guards went near her. Chaos spoke: " Let her pass with me, she is attending the student registration. " The guards discuss for a while and let them pass to the school. Nora was very nervous and asked Chaos how they can pass the guards without any document or pass. Chaos replied: " Don't worry my girl, you should be able to pass the security with me even if you didn't have any documents with you. If they want to hold you down, they don't dare to do it. *hahaha he laugh* You can trust me, I won't do anything bad to you or hurt you. " When Nora heard what Chaos said, she was a little happy and she blushed again. They are walking toward the middle of the school. Nora asks: " Where do we go now? " He replies: " The Student Council, where you can have your registration. Oh… I hope that Sakuya wasn't there. " Nora is having a big ‘question mark’ for what will happen next and why senpai said that. After they walk awhile they meet a mystery guy who is dressed entirely in black cloth and trousers. The guy didn't want to join other people, he only liked to be lonely. Nora tries to speak with him and shock and try to use magic to attack her. Luckily he stopped the attack, and apologized for the trouble he made. Nora didn't hate him and accepted his apology. She said: " What is your name? Why are you seperate from other students and try to not get near them? " The guy replies: " uh.. A girl attempts to have a conversation with me? No,it's my imagination. Yes, it's my imagination. There is no such a beautiful girl like that who will talk with me. " Nora heard what he said and was shocked, for the first time people saying she is a beauty. She touches the guy and says: " I'm here chatting with you, don't worry I won't hurt you.. My name is Nora, how about your name? We can be friends and learn magic together. " The guy replies: " uh…. erm… khem- my name is Alif, I'm the guy who loses his mind when learning too much magic power… Nice to meet you too, Nora. Such a nice name for a girl, perhaps you are my girlfriend.. haha… " Nora's face turned red instantly after Alif said she was his girlfriend. Alif laughs for a while and he stops laughing because of some instantly dead aura nearby. It's like something is watching them from another place. Chaos notices something is nearby, it's a living organism because it can detect its heartbeat when using magic detect skill. Alif also uses his magic sense to detect and he locks on something that is at the very end of the hallways and rushes to it. Chaos lead Nora's hand and follow up Alif movement to the end of the hallways. When they reach there, there is a classroom door that isn't fully closed and there is some light inside. *weak lights only, not so bright. Only like someone using a table lamp.* They push the door open and notice someone quickly hiding under the front table. Alif didn't care about who it was and went to that table. When he bend down and he know he's fucked. A girl quickly grabs his head and smashes it into the ground. He choked and realized she was his wife, Fuuka. Fuuka is also shocked, she immediately comes out and pulls Alif up from the ground. She says sorry to Alif for the incident. He wasn't angry about that, he was just getting up and cleaning his clothes and trousers. After that he patted Fuuka's head and said: " Next time don't do that again.. It's a little bit painful. '' Fuuka enjoyed the patting and nodded her head. Nora was shocked after seeing that happen. Fuuka notices that there were 2 other people standing at the front door of the classroom. She invites them to join inside and have some self introduction. She started first: " I'm Fuuka, head of the student council disciplinary officer. Also I'm not an ordinary girl, I love to cook delicious food such as fried rice, curry, omelet, udon, and ramen. Alif is my husband, I wish he will love me~ " After her self introduction she pulls Alif's cloth and tells him it's his turn. Alif scratched his head and continued his self introduction: " I'm Alif, the greatest mage ever in the school. I love to see Fuuka cook food for me and it tastes very good. " *In Alif's mind is thinking about Fuuka's breast are so soft and bouncy, her body is perfection* Fuuka blushes after he says that. Nora says: " It's my turn right?~ I'm Nora, currently I don't have anything. I like to eat curry with rice. I'm going to get my registration as a student in this school after our self introduction~ " *Nora look at Chaos and smiling* The classroom went silent for a while and everyone looked at Chaos. Chaos looks around and says: " Me? " Everyone nodded their heads. He slightly shakes his head and says: " uh.. I'm Chaos, just an ordinary person. Not really good at anything but will take care of people who need the help. " Fuuka says: " Ordinary person…? " Nora replied to her: " It's not, he saved me from those bad guys when in my village. Also he treats me good food~ " *Nora still in the state of enjoying that delicious food at the food stall before they move to Astral High School* Fuuka looks at her face smiling and a little drool showing out, immediately pulling out a stove from nowhere and starting to cook some food. Daisy's head pops out from Nora's jacket after smelling some good aroma. After 5 minutes have passed, Fuuka finishes her cooking and has a table of delicious food that hooks Nora's eye onto it. Nora asks: " Can we eat the food? " Fuuka nods her head and invites them to join. Everyone is enjoying the meals except Chaos. Daisy is having its own meals, a piece of delicious cooked porkchop which Nora gives to it. After enjoying the meals, Nora needs to go to the student union for her registration. She wasted a lot of time here. She immediately picks up her package and walks to the front door. Chaos says: " Finish the delicious meals already, my lady? It's almost late afternoon already, soon every student will finish school and you will miss your registration today. " Nora blushes and punches Chaos in the tummy. She says: " Senpai,why didn't you tell me about that! " Chaos endured the pain from his tummy and said: " My lady… It's like you're having fun with them and I don't want to interrupt your fun.. " *Nora have nothing to say with it* Fuuka says: " Nora-chan you want to go to the student council? I can go with you since I have some paperworks need handle to student council president. " In the end all of them are going to the student council. After some chats they reach the student council. Fuuka knocks the door and inside the student council replies with a soft sound 'come in'. Fuuka opens the door and goes inside the student council. There is a girl sitting on the sofa in the middle of the room and waving with them. Her name is Yukino, Student Council Vice-President who helps to manage all the paperworks when the president is not there. Yukino notices Chaos and says: " Senpai, what things take you here? Do you want to prepare anything else for surprising the president or taking new quest paperworks? " Chaos replied: " Nope,I just brought Nora to take registration for a student here. Also don't tell Sakuya about me coming here. Thanks a lot for helping." Yukino nods her head and takes the note. Nora asks: " Who is Sakuya,senpai? " He replied: " Sakuya is the president of the Student Council. She is very sexy and I can't afford her to keep asking me where I go. " *Fuuka and Alif are laughing at behind* Yukino says: " Don't worry, senpai. Yukino will promise you didn't tell Sakuya about your visit here~ Oh also Nora-chan, you are coming here for the registration for students right? Can you give me your information letter and do some paperworks here. " Nora handles all the information letters to Yukino. Yukino takes all the letters and starts to do her paperworks. After some moments pass, Yukino finishes Nora's registration and formally welcomes Nora to the Astral High School.
