Otome's Law of Ascension

Chapter 6 6. Sorting Ceremony

"Lizia, here!" Lin Xi smiled at Lizia with 30.00% disgust on her head, which was too disobedient.

"Did you sleep well at night?" Facing Lin Xi's hypocritical greeting, Licia didn't feel any disturbance in her heart, she was completely in the mood of watching a show.

"Very good." She smiled slightly, and today everyone put on the blue school uniform with thorns embroidered on the chest.

She brushed her long, soft and slightly curly hair to reveal her ears.

The winter sun is not too harsh, but it makes Licia's skin look crystal clear.

"Licia, Linxi, you are so fast!" Yuan Yu trotted towards them.

Like three best friends, Licia murmured to herself.

The opening ceremony of the School of Arms is not a formality. Every freshman who has activated the power of the coat of arms needs to wait for the selection of the prefect and the teacher of the school.

There are five branch colleges in total.

Among them, Thorn College is a college that only nobles can enter, and the other four colleges have a small number of nobles and a large number of commoners.

Licia didn't understand anything well before entering school, after all, she was busy arguing with her sister every day.

Her elder sister, Ashe, is one of the few nobles who cannot activate the power of heraldry.

And because Ashe is the first daughter in the family, she has been loved by her parents since she was a child. Even when she was ten years old, she found that there was no heraldic power in her body that could be activated, nor could she control any heraldic power. she.

On the contrary, for the youngest Licia, as long as the two sisters appear in the scene, the parents will prefer the elder sister Ashe.

Licia cried several times for this when she was a child. After all, she only came from the age of 15 when her mother loved her and her father loved her in her previous life.

"By the way, when you came to school, your sister Ash." Lin Xi asked her casually.

"My sister is fine."

Everyone knows that the two sisters are at odds.

"Sister Li's paintings are not bad." Lin Xi forcefully chatted.

Enough people had already gathered in the square, and five prefects were sitting on the five carpets with the school totems in front of them.

Among them, the crown prince Dimitri was the highest floating, and the lowest was Yuga, the prefect of the Mandala Academy.

Licia didn't start Linxi's awkward chat, she was just observing Yuga, the boy without a progress bar.

Yuga was wearing a civilian school uniform without thorn patterns, and sat cross-legged on the carpet. Unlike other prefects who were nobles, the body language of other noble seniors was very casual, but Yuga was obviously nervous.

"Civilian. He is actually higher than us." Some people questioned this point. Although Yuga's flying carpet floated lower than other prefects, he was still higher than the heads of every new nobleman.

"The coat of arms is the power given to us by the goddess." A familiar voice sounded, and Dean Futepas rose from a corner to the center of the five prefects.

"Last night, when everyone was singing carols and we were holding high the wine, there was a lost lamb who mistakenly used an ability that didn't belong to him." She paused for a long time, as if scanning all the students on the field. "I hope that you will not become such people in the future."

A smile formed on the corner of her mouth. "You are all pure and flawless lovely children bathed in the sun's rays."

Licia didn't feel moved, and got goosebumps all over her body. The dean has always lived in seclusion, and he has never seen her figure at the banquet of the nobles.

Today, yesterday, Licia saw her twice.

I also heard her say a lot of nonsense.

The lost lamb refers to the fire meteor that appeared after using the heraldry stone yesterday.

"The college will also do its best to protect you from outside interference."

"Thorns, sea lions, red trees, white dragons, mandala, each college has its own unique features, I believe our prefects will choose the most suitable students for them."

Dean Futespa opened his right hand and lightly pointed to the never-extinguishing torch placed on the roof of the main teaching building. Dozens of flames flew down from the torch and flew to the top of every freshman.

Licia knew about this ceremony, but she was still a little scared. The flame would burn their skin closest to the neck, and then burn a small piece of hair. After burning, the ashes from the hair would turn into their heraldic pattern and float On the top of the head and neck there will be a year-long heraldic scar.

Fortunately, my coat of arms is a beautiful flower, Licia comforted herself like this.

Yuanyu only thought that his crest was a tranquilizing flower, and Lizia's crest was also a flower, and he was thinking about this kind of thing that was destined but not shared.

Lin Xi has more anxiety, her coat of arms is a snake, and her coat of arms is scales.

"Hiss." Licia was so hot that she couldn't straighten her waist, but she didn't dare to cover the wound.

It was the ends of her hair that were burned, and she turned her attention to thinking about how to organize her own hair.

After about 5 minutes, each noble student had a coat of arms pattern made of dust on his head, and a coat of arms pattern that they might be good at operating appeared on the heads of commoners.

"Prefect of Thorn College, please choose the students you need."

A very loud voice spread throughout the audience, Lizia looked around curiously, and happened to meet Yuga's eyes.

The other party looked embarrassed. After all, Licia's beauty has full visual impact for people who have never seen it before.

"Hey." Licia greeted friendly, and she was slowly getting used to the fact that everyone was always looking at her.

Everyone else was whispering, too, and there were students standing upright, eager to gain the favor of the crown prince, who was the first to choose a student.

Licia is almost destined to go to the Thorn Academy, although she prefers to go to Yuga's academy full of civilians, and she wants to find out something from Yuga.

She became the first student to be picked by the Crown Prince, even before Princess Di Tata.

"Oh." Lycia lowered her head and sighed.

The princess is the second, followed by Linxi and Yuanyu.

The crown prince selected a total of eight nobles. As in previous years, the number of new students in Thorn College was one-fifth of that of other colleges, and the selection process did not have any technical content.

'He just chose the children of some great noble families. ' Licia muttered to herself.

The gap between noble and commoner status made the sorting ceremony boring.

Commoners who cannot activate their own heraldic power can only rely on a little bit of alms from the nobles to inject the heraldic power into the magic circle.

Commoners are just slaves who can operate heraldic equipment.

Yuga's eyes were full of regret and loss. As a commoner prefect, he was destined to be unable to get any noble student, let alone Lycia, whose heraldic power was unique and not yet clear.

After the sorting ceremony, Licia felt her scalp was numb from the sun.

Obviously there is a magic circle that can block the sun, but because of the sun goddess, it is impossible for someone to refuse the sun's rays.

It would be nice if it was the goddess of the moon.

Lizia touched the top of her head, and Lin Xi's disgust level increased a lot. It is conceivable that being the first one selected really got enough of the limelight, and she deserves a pot of envy.

"Linxi, I'm going to the heraldry teacher first, he told me to go to him after sorting." Licia couldn't help adding a pot of vinegar.

"Okay, work hard, Licia, don't forget to attend the afternoon meeting in the Thorn College classroom." Lin Xi said hypocritically.

"Hmm!" Licia responded with a sweet and artificial smile.

Among the freshmen, civilians accounted for the majority, and only after the nobles left, the commoners could leave, so Licia also quickly walked to the heraldic graphics research tower behind the main teaching building.

There are many heraldic experts in this tower, who have spent years studying heraldic patterns here, hoping to one day learn how to reproduce those seemingly simple but difficult to reproduce heraldic patterns.
