There was still a remaining time left, and he was mused by Natalie. She was talking all kinds of funny talks while laughing. Although her laughter was somewhat out of place, but after hearing the cold warning from the girl before it wasn't loud enough to draw any chilly stares again.

After she let out all of her steam, Natalie began the conversation anew by

bringing up what must have been the most discussed topic within this auditorium.

“Hey, Grey, what do you think about the sudden change of rules in Merthyr Academy?”

“What?”

“I mean the sudden change of rules! It was the first time did I see both Magic Apprentice & Outcasts students gathering together. But most of all, looking carefully the Outcasts students have a high number and many Outcasts students I have seen before have a magic power above any Magic Apprentice student's.”

Hearing Natalie's statement, he didn't feel anything strange. All of the information for becoming a Merthyr Academy student was generated randomly. The enrollment ceremony that was taking a place in the auditorium was Seventy-percent filled with Outcasts students. More, the Outcast students entering the auditorium have magic power almost surpassing many Magic Apprentice students. Thinking this over, the Magic Apprentice students who were still despising the Outcasts students for their low proficiency in magic power have their mouths almost shut's.

“I felt the same, I thought I have seen many Outcasts students rather than Magic Apprentice ones.” Grey nodded at Natalie's thoughts.

“Well, it's absurd to say. But when I was entering Merthyr Academy I had already heard these rumors on the internet. Saying that Merthyr Academy was changing its previous rules & policies from this year around and it had already tested these rules on senior students. But I thought it was just a piece of fake news but seeing it now with my own eyes, I think the rumors were probably true.”

“Well, I barely made it in the first place, with my magic power,” Grey murmured in his heart.

“Well then, I guess these rules were already led by Merthyr Academy, and being supervised by the Government, means they all be pretty safe, right?”

With a slight concern, Natalie looks around the auditorium. The Auditorium has almost packed with students wearing nervous looks on their faces. Although the Merthyr Academy was a private institute being observed by Government it was not so obedient to it. Of course, there was nothing in life that this event will go so smoothly will all Outcasts & Magic Apprentice students mixing together. Similar to Natalie, other students in the auditorium shifted their gazes with nervousness.

“Perhaps…”

Honestly, though, Grey wasn’t that nervous. With his Magic being lower than any average Outcasts student he was not so worried about any big events happening. Those were his honest thoughts, but he didn’t give a voice to her.

..............

……However, when he was discussing with Natalie, he heard the sound of the

speakers are being turned on.

“Ah, looks like the entrance ceremony will begin soon.”

Soon after, the sound of the microphone test, -- [Ah……test, test] echoed

throughout the auditorium.

[Everyone, silence. We will be starting the entrance ceremony shortly. I Erick Martin the head of the Merthyr Academies Teacher's Association will be in charge of this Entrance Ceremony.]

“Ergh. It hurts!” Natalie who was still carefree, talking with Grey suddenly put both of her hands on her ears. The sound was so loud imbued with sound [Vibration Pulveriser] magic that almost caused everyone's ears to go deaf. Making some weak students under level 1 heads spin in dizziness.
