Chapter 13: New Life...
Well, that\'s what he thought, after the boring entrance ceremony everything went well...that is for everyone else except him, who had been avoided by everyone for some reason.
He tried to talk to some but they,
"I will be happy if you don\'t speak to me"
"After doing something so low, you expect to be friends with someone"
"Who knows? When you will backstab me"
Even so, he was not discouraged, he sat in the last row due to everyone occupying the front rows.
\'I guess, I did that but everyone just started to assume \'I am a coward and backstabbing person\'...ah\' Eli thought with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
The first class started as the Professor entered the class, an old man with white hair and wrinkles on his face; wearing a blue robe said,
"Students, you can do whatever you want as long as you follow the rules and you are only required to come to training classes. If you have any doubts come and meet me in the staff room"
without even introducing himself, he left and just like that everyone left fastly without questioning him.
Only Eli who sat on the back row bench looked at the empty class.
"....."
"That\'s it? and that\'s the reason they occupied front rows." Eli was confused but lost interest soon and left like everyone.
He looked around every class and one thing that caught his eye were some classes really taught something to the students. Not able to understand what was going on, he tried to find the professor who came in the morning.
"Excuse me, Sir?" The old man who sleeping in the staff room. \'Finding the staff room without anyone\'s help, it sure takes time\' Eli thought, he searched it for around 1 hour.
"Yesshh..ahhh" the old man yawned.
"I don\'t know what\'s going on but some classes going on, could you please explain?" Eli asked politely with a slight bow.
"Oh, you are..that boy, right?" The old man asked carefreely.
"Pardon" Eli was confused.
"Nothing, if you talking about the other class then, they are scholars so they have lecture classes" The old man said while shooing him.
"I don\'t know when they separated us and they didn\'t even inform me about it" Eli did mind it just frowned.
With an annoyed tone, "Hey brat, when taking the test, they asked you to inform them whether you want to be a scholar or not, right?" The old man said.
"ah...I get it now. Even so, they didn\'t inform me..."
"They gave you SI Phone, right? Everything is in it." The old man interrupted and shooed Eli again.
"But How..."
"Just check the library to how to use SI Phone?" and then the old man slept.
\'ZZZzzzz\'
Eli just blankly stared at the old man and left the staff room. After an hour of searching the library, he then took the books related to the SI Phone [Student Identity Phone].
<2-Hours later>
"So I can check Circulars, Calling, News, etc., and also with this I have Universal ID and...to activate it..." Eli took the Blue colour phone and Pushed the button to turn it on.
With a slight sting on the thumb finger, Blood and mana samples were collected and showed his information along with his picture,

"Ohhh...Its look Cool"
"Credit?"
"In my village, we used copper and silver coins as a transaction. In the Capital and some towns use some kind of paper sheet as Money and here they are using Credit....sigh it is totally messed up" he was so puzzled then soon shrugged it off.
"what else?" Eli looked like a kid who had a new toy, as he played with SI Phone.
*****
"Finding the Dorm is easy all I have to do is \'follow the guys\'...hmm...I think I am missing something here...who cares" Eli followed a guy and found the dorms and entered his allocated door number.
"Hmmm? Hello" Eli found 5 guys are already here before him.
They didn\'t say anything and just muttered within themselves and then one guy who wearing glasses looks like a dwarf came forward and said,
"You can have the bed on the top, we are afraid of heights so.." the glasses guy said with nervousness.
"Is that so? if you are fine with it, then ok" Eli thought about it there is nothing wrong, \'they are scared of heights. Small boys...heh\'
Seeing them act friendly, Eli was about to introduce himself but they already left. He didn\'t think too much and he didn\'t have so many things; some old dress and new uniform; a few techniques and books, palm size wooden rectangular box and some copper and silver coins.
"I should soon exchange these coins.." Eli pondered as he slept.
*****
\'GRUMBLE\'
After some rest, Eli went to the cafeteria and eat some food which is not that extravagant. While Eli eating, no one talked to him.
\'This is strange, why they are avoiding me like a plague? Even if I did something cowardly, that\'s not enough reason to avoid me at this level\' Eli thought while scanning around his surroundings and something finally clicked in his mind,
~Ding~
As an imaginary bell rang in his head, he finally realized what was missing from the moment he entered this place and that was
"WHERE THE HECK ARE GIRLS?!!"
<Next Morning>
Eli visited the staff room as soon as possible and asked the old man, "Sorry for the intrusion sir, May I know why only Boys here?"
The old man squinted his eyes at Eli, "What you mean brat? This Division-1 academy is only for the boys"
"AHH.....why the fu...is that?" Even though Eli was shocked, he tried to act calmly.
"hah..hahaha..you don\'t know?" irritation changed to amusement.
"Don\'t know what?"
"You are the one who joined this division. There are 6 divisions under the Nex,
Division-1: Only Boys
Division-2: Only Girls
Division-3: Floras\'
Division-4: Dragons\'
Division-5: Fallens\'
Division-6: United"
and you can select any division except 2 and 4 divisions. For Division-2, you know; you must be a girl" as he looked at Eli up and down.
"For Divison-4, you must ask permission from the Dragon Faction"
"Oh...I forgot after joining the Division, if you wish to change then you must provide 10,000 credits and a letter from higher officials.
It is a tough process, so that\'s why you choose carefully at the beginning"
"WHAT?" Eli petrified.
