Mahou Project!!

Chapter 1 - 1: Academy's Weakest!!

Moonlight Magi Academy, a place where magus, users of magic study and enrich their craft in the magical arts. The school is located at the isolated island of Mishra and the only way to enter and exit the island is via the magical portals guarded by the magi knights to ensure security from the dark forces who dare to threaten the peace of the school.

The curriculum here is divided into 4-year levels in the tertiary grade or we simply known as high school in the modern tongue.

In a certain class called 2-D, a boy 16 years of age sporting black messy hair and just like all the students of Moonlight, he is wearing the traditional school uniform consisting of black blazers, white polo undershirt, black pants and black shoes. This boy is known many things by his magi peers. Although not all of them are good because of his innate difficulty of casting even the simplest of spells. The boy is none other than Ken Mercer, the "Academy's Weakest", and bearer of the lowest magus rank of 5,234.

"This suck..." Ken muttered under his breath and sighed as he and his classmates prepare for the next subject, Alteration, the magical art of altering the properties of matter.

A group of bullies led by a giant bald man named Brian whose face is your typical bully snorted out loud in response. "Heh, you can't even cast a simple light in a candle with magic, then what hopes are you going to achieve in Alteration? You might as well quit while you have your dignity intact." Brian said.

The boy simply ignored the insults and continued staring in front.

His action just made the bullies even angrier.

"Hey, don't ignore us you f.u.c.k.i.n.g weakling!!!"

Brian was about to conjure a giant fireball from his right palm but he was immediately stop by a black long short haired girl with eyeglasses.

"Uhm Brian, using magic to cause intentional harm to a fellow magus is against the rules. Failure to comply will cause the suspension of mana in your body."

The intervention of the girl halted Brian's intentions and caused him to calm down. After all, any magi would not want to suffer his or her mana from being sealed even for a short time. It's like taking a sword from a warrior. Without mana, a magus is nothing more than a walking duck, easy to be killed.

"Tsk, you better be thankful weakling. Because of the rules, I can't blast you into smithereens and show you how pathetic you are."

After the bullies decided that the weakling is not worth anymore of their attention, Ken gave the girl a grateful look.

"Thanks May."

The girl now known as May turned to face Ken and answered seemingly with a blush.

"Oh, just doing my duty as the class representative and to make sure that all students adhere to the system."

Despite the fact that Ken is infamous for his lack of magic, the same can't be said his looks. Looking at the boy, he is blessed with a pretty cute face that is adored by the women of his class. His height does not help in adding to his manly qualities as he bears the height of 5'4", meaning he is shorter than most men but still taller than most women. This quality just adds fuel in the fire in the eyes of the jealous men, especially the bullies since he is actually famous in the female population.

"Damn you Mercer!!!" the men just said.

Ken merely shook his head off as he ignored the stares of the male population. The boy then observes a blonde long haired girl whose slim figure coupled with her pair of C-cup assets makes her one of the most popular females of the Academy. She is currently at the corner of the room as she practices her ice magic at another classmate.

May decided to enlighten the boy.

"If you are wondering about that, Glacia is just practicing her ice magic at Leia."

The boy remembered her.

Glacia Winters, wielder of the bloodline magic known as Frost Release.

Said magic is known for enhancing the user's ice magic by tenfold. For example, if a normal ice mage will cast a frost spear, then a Winters can cast that which is ten times more powerful and potent, or casting multiple projectile ice spells like the Hailstorm will be ten times many,

The boy continues to observe the blonde ice magus as she casted a powerful ice spell.

"ICE IMPRISONMENT"

A jail made of ice was conjured, trapping Leia in the inside.

"Wow Glacia, you learned another spell." The brown-haired girl Leia praised the ice magus.

"Yes, Ice Imprisonment is designed to entrap the user made of ice. Since my bloodline makes ice ten times stronger, so enemies may find very hard to break it."

The crowd who witnessed the scene cheered at her.

"She really is a prodigy alright!!!"

"The princess of Winters sure is awesome!!"

Ken also witnessed the scene and smiled internally as a sudden spark of magic occurred in his system.

"COPY SUCCESS."

***

It turns out Alteration won't be starting anytime soon since the class of 2-D was granted a new transfer student.

It was a beautiful twin tailed red head girl with violet eyes. With a slim figure coupled with a pair of beautiful and bouncy C-cup b.r.e.a.s.ts, the men were indeed ogling their eyes on the new student much to the annoyance of the women.

The teacher, a silver haired handsome middle-aged man named Kael with a scar on his right eye and wearing a silver suit with a black tie introduced the girl.

"Alright settle down maggots. This lass here is the third princess of the Dragonheart family. Introduce yourself girl."

The girl nodded and said "Hello everyone. My name is Anastasia Dragonheart but you may call me Ana for short. Just like my other family, I specialize in potent Dragonfire magic. I hope to get along with you all.

Ana smiled adorably in front of everyone, causing a ruckus to the male population of the class.

"A hot girl alright!!!"

"Two princesses in our class?!! So lucky indeed!!!"

"An angel has come from above!!"

"I think I'm in love!!"

The new girl merely giggled and then Kael said something that caused a massive shock to the whole class.

"Ah yes, because of your status as a magus noble, it is only right that you get a magus escort and one of your new classmates can fit in the role perfectly."

At that statement, most of the boy immediately raised their hands in hopes of getting picked and gaining the privilege of getting closer with a hot princess.

Kael merely shrug them and then turned to face Ken, the only boy who is not raising his hand.

Kael smiled and said. "Since Mr. Mercer is not raising his hand, so he will do it."

Wait, what!!??

Ken's eyes widen and can't believe what the teacher said to him.

"Err sir you must be joking, right? I have no talent for magic and I'm not strong. What makes you think that I'm qualified to be an escort, for a girl of the Dragon blood no less?"

Kael smiled amusingly in response and answered "It's because you are Mr. Mercer of course, MIME."

The boy flinched at the last word.

This caused a confusion to the whole class.

The same can't be said about the boy though as he frowned and was not amused at the slightest.

Ken subtlety channeled some telepathy magic to connect with Kael.

'Hey Kael, what the hell are you thinking!?? I'm supposed to be not attracting any attention!!'

Kael's grin widens as he closed his eyes and answered in the same manner.

'Ah, sorry about that. Orders from Master Ura that you are now permitted to reveal your unique magic. After all, you have some pent-up frustration to put out in this past one year, right?'

Kael immediately cut off their link after answering.

Ken thought of what Kael had said and smiled afterwards.

So, Ken agreed and nodded.

"Good, then as of--"

Kael was cut off by Ana who kept staring at Ken and her face sported a look of disappointment.

"This guy will be my escort? Don't make me laugh. He does not look like magus material and I don't sense any mana on him. I refuse."

The rest of the class agreed with her.

"Yeah, you see princess, this guy, this guy is called the Academy's Weakest. Even casting a simple fireball is too much for him." It was Brian who answered her.

Ken despite being annoyed to the fullest manage to equip himself with a calm face.

"So, you are saying that you won't accept me since you think I'm weak?"

"Yup, that's basically it."

Ken inhaled deeply, trying to control his temper.

It has been a year since he started school here at Moonlight, and everyday he has been suffering at the constant abuse of his peers.

It vexed him to no end. Hiding his magic since it was orders from the higher ups of this school hence the A.S.SCOCIATION would be coming for him.

It seems that for whatever reason, the master known as Ura now allowed him to reveal it.

So, smiling to himself, the boy can now have the chance to prove them utterly wrong and the looks of their faces when they find out will be his satisfaction.

"Alright Dragonheart, then I challenge you to a Magicka." The black-haired boy said with a determined and serious look.

At his statement, the whole class burst into a mocking laughter.

"Ahahahaha really weakling? How could someone like you had even the hopes to match up with a princess? A Dragonheart to be exact?!!" Brian said.

"Uh Ken, I admire your bravery or maybe stupidity, but Brian has a point no matter how sad it is." One of the girls stated.

Ana though was caught a little bit off guard by the boy's sudden challenge.

And she was amused by this.

"Oohhh... a mere commoner challenging me to a duel? I guess sometimes I need to indulge into the human's pathetic fantasies just to amuse myself. I'll enjoying crushing you. Very well, I accept."

Ken then look at Kael who simply nodded with a smile.

"Alright I'm permitting this bout. When do you want this to happen?"

Ana smiled arrogantly and answered "Well, I can't wait to teach this mongrel a lesson. Now would be a perfect time."

"I have no objections." Ken answered.

Kael nodded and answered. "Very well. Follow me to the Magicka grounds."
