Nexus Academy was a flying fortress that combined technology and magic. Its a monument of power.
Suspended high above the land, it loomed over the human continent like a fortress of god.
"An academy where the weak were crushed, and the strong ruled."
Carved on a floating landmass and reinforced with magic and technology, its towers speared the sky, and its obsidian spires hummed with thick mana.
Within the walls of the academy, legends were born. The Grand Spire, the heart of the academy, loomed at the center, where all academy activities took place. Beside it were the Colosseum, where students fought to show their dominance; the Serene Mountain Library, where all knowledge was stored; and finally, The Obelisk, an abyss gate reserved for the academy's deadliest trials.
Every year, thousands of students applied to Nexus Academy. Only a handful got accepted, and very few managed to graduate.
******
In the Grand Spire, on the second floor, a new batch of students was present. They were divided into different sections, and within each section, students were gathered in their respective classes.
Today was their first day at the academy. They would make friends, allies, and enemies.
One of these sections was Class-1A. Inside, students talked to each other. Getting to know one another and forming connections.

Whoosh!!!
Suddenly, the door of the classroom swung open and an otherworldly beautiful woman entered. She wore a black leather jacket over a dark bodice that hugged her waist, paired with tight black trousers. Her crimson hair flowed wildly and her venomous red eyes held a cold, predatory intensity, as if she could look into the very soul.
"Good morning, everyone!!"
"My name is Aria Frost, and I will be your combat teacher."
Aria's words and very aura commanded the attention of every student. She scanned the classroom, and seeing every student focused on her, she continued,
"First of all, I congratulate you all on making it into Nexus Academy. Here, you will become stronger, forge alliances, and etch your names into history."
"If you think you are privileged and better than everyone, then I would say you are in for a disappointment. It doesn't matter who or what you are, on these academy grounds, you need to prove yourselves. The strong will rule these grounds and the weak will be crushed."
As Aria spoke, her eyes swept across every student's face.
Some looked surprised. Some were nervous,
"Today is your first day, so there won't be any classes. Tomorrow will be your orientation program, where the chancellor will address you all. After that, your academy curriculum will officially begin, so I advise you all to explore the academy grounds and familiarize yourselves with the facilities.
"And finally, I will say this. I will be your advisor for the next four years. Any problems regarding classes, duels, or conflicts with other students, you will report to me, and I will advise you accordingly.
"Since you will all share this classroom for the next four years, I suggest you take this time to get to know each other."
"Goodbye."
With that, Aria finished speaking and left the classroom.
As she exited, murmurs spread among the students.
"She's really Aria Frost. Her aura is something else."
"Right? I never thought she would be our advisor."
"She's one of the Ascendant rank Espers. I've heard many great things about her. We're in good hands."
As the discussions continued, a figure at the front of the class stood up. He had black hair and crystal yellow, charming eyes. He spoke,
"Can I get everyone's attention?"
Slowly, all eyes turned toward him.
"As Miss Frost said, we will be classmates for the next four years, so we should introduce ourselves. I'll go first."
"Hello, my name is Dean Winchester. I am an Aegis. I like exploring and reading magazines. I hope we will all get along."
After Dean introduced himself, students began standing up one by one to introduce themselves.
The next student stood up. He had white hair and bright red eyes.
"Good morning, everyone. My name is Arthur Nightingale. I'm a Reaver. I hope to get along with you all."
As Arthur finished, a beautiful girl stood up. Her long, dark blue hair and vibrant, glowing violet eyes were so mesmerizing they could melt any man.
"Hello, my name is Lia Ross. I am an Etherweaver. I like tea. I am very happy to meet you all."
Just as Lia finished, another girl stood up. She had long black hair and cold gray eyes. Unlike Lia, she carried an aura that warned others not to approach.
"I am Sasha Rose. I am a Phantom."
Some students were surprised by her cold demeanor, but due to the chilling air around her, no one questioned her.
Another student stood up after her. He had blonde hair and crystal-blue eyes. As he stood, many students narrowed their eyes at him.
"Hello, I am Lucas Lockhart. I am a Reaver, and I like to..."
Before Lucas could finish, a voice interrupted,
"I like to sexually assault women."
The entire classroom fell silent. Some whispered, while others glared at Lucas as if they were ready to kill him.
Sasha narrowed her eyes, whispering something to herself.
"Okay, everyone, let's not jump him. We're all classmates; let's keep going with the introductions," Dean said, trying to calm the situation.
Lucas sat down, keeping his head low while muttering something.
After him, another figure stood up. He was tall, with black hair and bangs dangling over his eyes. His most distinct feature was his heterochromia. His right eye was yellow, and his left was purple, giving him an otherworldly charm.
"Good morning, everyone. Let's break this cold mood."
"My name is Ryker Case. I am a Sanctorum. I love reading different genres of books. I also enjoy playing chess and cooking. I am very pleased to meet you all."
While Lucas's introduction was met with hostility, Ryker's received a warm response. Students looked at him with friendly eyes some whispered about befriending him, others about forming alliances.
*****
One by one, everyone continued introducing themselves. The classroom was filled with diverse individuals.
Meanwhile, Lucas kept his head down on his desk, humming something to himself.

'Fuck!!!!!'
'Out of everyone, I transmigrated into Lucas on the very first day of the academy. With his reputation, he is everyone's enemy.'
'I need to leave this classroom soon. People would have killed me if I weren't in the academy.'
