Although the golden lady is somewhat quiet and calm, her status is no mere joke, although no one knows her identity, all of them felt her presence belong to a royalty of very high society or much expectedly a kingdom, such beauty that no one can resist, the lady remain calm and clear, she doesn’t notice the stares or glimpses of everyone locking to her, she continue to follow the group and passed The Iceberg sister and Neil's bench.
“Students of the Evergreen Academy, we welcome you all, the welcome Ceremony for New students are about to begin, everyone, welcome to Evergreen Academy! Glory belongs to us!!!” the female announcer announce and break the moment that everyone is waiting for.
Everyone started to enter the gates as the runic gadget scanners detect the legitimate students identification cards in each pass, ensuring that no outsider or identification stealer might come in and out of the academy, Neil along with the others venture the marble road of the school and its wide meadow with so many flowers growing.
Neil is having in his own thoughts as he followed the Iceberg sisters when the golden lady approach him on the back, Neil felt the golden lady's presence, he shifted his gaze to her with furrowed brows and sharp eyes, studying the posture and complexion of the lady with caution, the golden lady come closer to the direction of cuddle some and quiet Neil, everyone nearby to Neil are standing aside and observe what will be the outcome of the meeting of the two, everybody felt the intensity of the upcoming meeting of the adorable and cute student and the High-Class level royalty Lady.
“Greetings” the golden lady talk for the first time, her voice calms everyone, what a soothing voice for a small word.
“Hello, is there something wrong?” the cute voice of Neil struck the hearts of everyone listening there, even the golden lady is shock to heard such mellow and sweet of his voice when he replied.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
“So cute” the golden lady spokes again as her right hand reached Neil, well she is saying the truth, everyone agrees on it.
“Uhhh, may I ask whom I pleasure to talk with?” Neil step back from the hand of the royalty Lady, a mild shyness in his complexion, everyone gulp upon witnessing Neil’s reaction.
“I am Wilhelmina Newcastle, sorry for such rudeness I shown all of the sudden, your face is kinda familiar to me” Wilhelmina answered with grace as the two continued to walk.
“I see, well if it was an honor to talk with you lady Wilhelmina, name's Neil Simmons, to whom am I look alike?” Neil introduced and then ask as his right hand meet Wilhelmina’s hand and form a handshake.
“Cynthia the Crimson Chaos, one of the renown Battle Sage who step on the realm of Mythical level, she is well known in different continents” Wilhelmina replied with admiration in her eyes.
“Oh I see, looks like she is very important to you, isn’t she?” Neil ask again upon getting the answer he needs from the royal lady.
“Yes, she is, Madame Cynthia is the one who give me a second chance” Wilhelmina answered delightfully as she put her right hand to the middle of her voluptuous chest, right to her heart.
“A second chance,,, just like I,,, look I won’t pry anymore about your pass, hope you get a great time, then please excuse me” Neil stated, he then excuse and wave a goodbye to Wilhelmina and join the Iceberg sisters.
As Neil excuses himself and dashes to the side of Faye and Leah in incredible speed that the eyes of everyone cannot follow in just within a second, everyone was further shook of such incredible talent, as expected of new batch of students, there are exceptional ones always in every crowd, they are always a hidden gems among the others, and Neil is one of them, such a newcomer with a very mysterious and unidentified background, looks like this school year will be a special one.
The lady, Wilhelmina smiled as she felt the mysteriousness of Neil is not simple and cannot easy to be overlooked, her curiosity grew more about him, she will find out the true identity of Neil and to know more about him, she felt attracted to Neil, as if the fate tied her up to him, it was truly strange yet pleasantly feeling, the golden lady continue to press on her walk and the whole crowd follows her lead.
Wilhelmina felt Neil's connection to her with full familiarity by a touch of her hand, she felt his energy, an unidentified element, a vastness abyss, similar to her hero of dreams and role model, Cynthia the Crimson Chaos, she felt Neil is connected to Cynthia, his red sharp eyes and red violet long braided hair, she is like the younger version of her idol, there is no doubt without it, but there are still need to confirm.
Back on Neil, after a few minutes of walking, they finally reach the huge auditorium, everyone entered the auditorium and showed their Identification Card as the senior students there point their seats based on their aptitude levels and disparities of Elemental Affinity to Soul Augmentation Battle Sage, as always expected, the High-Class ones are at the front most, the Intermediate-Class are at the middle and the Newbie-Class stay at the outer benches, which well going to Neil's back seat habit.
The ceremony begins, musical orchestra resounds, followed by the few greetings of announcer to all newcomers, introducing of head, elders, and staffs, followed by their rules and regulation, the introduction of their Academy's special education for the Geniuses, and school fair treatments to all students, Neil was sleeping during the long time at the back seat, he also summon Kurumi in the darkness to record every information while he just begin his deep slumber without being interupted.
Kurumi start to wake Neil up when the long and boring program is over as she disappeared in a flash to Neil’s Null realm before any students can sense her presence, Neil get the record notes of Kurumi and saw how Kurumi well polish the recording on her book without a flaw, this loli ninja is indeed a skill full in recording but a tongue biter for a long conversation.
Neil along with the Outer Badge students moves out first to heed to their dorms and being followed by Middle Badge students, as for Inner Badge students, they will be remain inside the auditorium for a special treatment in private, Wilhelmina took a glance of Neil's fading silhouette, Leah notice Wilhelmina's gaze on the little one and quiet disturbed by it, but now she need to focus on how to become a model genius and be like her mother Eliah.
Meanwhile, Neil after another long walk with the crowding outer badge students, they finally reach their respective dorm buildings, Neil and the others look on their identification card to see the dorm number near at the side of their Identification Card, Neil proceed to his dorm building and keep noticing the endless glances of his fellow dorm mates at him.
At the entrance, there is guarding staff that checking the identification card of each students who entered there and confirm their legitimacy by their runic gadget sensors, Neil pass his identification card to the staff and the staff placed the Identification Card to the runic machine, the runic machine release a green light that confirms the legitimacy of Neil’s identification card, the staff guard give back the Identification Card to Neil and let him enter as the numerous gazes befall on him like he is some kind of VIP.
But Neil little don’t know that he is very famous loli/trap mascot in the academy, he even surpassed the cuteness of Redsun triplets in comparison, also he is the first student that having got the attention of a royalty of Newcastle princess Wilhelmina, Neil just ignore the murmurs and gossips about him from his dorm mates and few onlookers as he proceed to his destination with a shuddering complexion.
“These guys, agghh whatever!” Neil thought with a distress complexion as he move fast to his dorm room at first floor, and get inside in a flash, it was a small room with a decent table and bed, few book shelves and a single cabinet with a small lamp.
But this is fine for Neil, he never stay in one place when he is bored, yup without computer and other important technologies in his arsenal, how will he stay in a boring room without any gadget and entertainment to kill time and worked his fingers and mind, after setting all his Things in the room, he head out sooner from his room and make his way to the campus of the Academy to earn some useful information.
Neil felt relieve when there is now few people and students can be seen in the road, he continue his walk and ensuring his next plan for the beginning of class tomorrow, for few moments of walking and venturing the road, Neil finally reach the Academy campus and look on the bulletin board to seek some basic information, although he garnered few eyes of some bystander, at least it is better than a crowd looking at him like a delectable meal.
After reading some of few contents he need, he heard a marching, he saw the bystander standing aside like they become more docile to incoming supreme power and when he shifted his eyes to the direction of the bystanders gaze, he saw a squadron of Battle Sage leaded by lady bearing a spear with a flag banner, such imposing manner these whole squad shown in a broad daylight.
Suddenly he felt a presence of the Battle Sage female student that leads the squadron, she has a glorious Presence and pure aura that differs from the golden lady he meet earlier, her appearance are like a royal captain guard, few set of armors in dress that cover her chest, shoulder hips and arms, her dress color is blue and red combine with numerous golden trim designs and paintings on armor, she has a short pale ash colored hair with a metal head band, golden colored sharp and serious eyes, pointed nose and tender red lips, she has truly imposing of powerful guardian and leadership spirit.
No doubt, her energy level is at High-Class Battle Sage, she was followed by an Intermediate-Class ones, she easily notice Neil and blink few times, she then ordered the squadron to stop for a moment, and she walk closer to Neil, her eyes was strikingly sharp than Neil, she has the phoenix like presence that descend down to meet a lowly human as she come closer to Neil.
“Young man,,,” She spoke with an intimidating mature voice, her eyes is lock on Neil's feature and easily discern him to be male from being mistaken as a female student doing cross dressing in a male uniform.
“Yes? Can I help you senior?” Neil ask, trying his best to hold his composure.
“Are you related to Lady Cynthia Scarlet?” the pale ash woman speak the name of the legendary Battle Sage again. “You really resemblance her youthful years, except for your long braided hair.
“I'm not so sure about it, a vague feeling if I may call, for even I was seeking the truth about my past” Neil confessed something about his future motives, to know more about this body's past that he currently possessed.
“I see, I hope you will soon discover your pass, but for starters, let’s introduce ourselves in simple yet honest manner” the pale ash woman said as she made a glorifying smile. “I am student council president of Evergreen Academy, entitled “Divine Phoenix”, Fate Rosa Stormweaver”
“Neil Simmons, just a humble student, a pleasure to meet you, miss president” Neil introduced himself and bow slightly to give respect.
“Welcome to our beloved Academy, young Simmons, hope you will like your stay and here and develop your skills, just follow the rules and regulation and we will be fine, good luck young one, if you'll excuse me” Fate Rosa welcomes Neil as she had a high hopes for him to know his past, she then excuse herself because there are still school matters she need to attend.
The glorious march continue as Neil stood there with thinking such twist of fate of meeting some big shots in just one day, he now know some leads to know the former owner of this body’s past and to see his connection to the said “Crimson Chaos” Battle Sage, Neil is about to move when one familiar young man appeared in his front.
“Pfft! Ahahaha, ok Ace! You've won the this game, he is truly a boy and not a girl, oh man I thought this little Missy would turn out to be a mister, ahahaha!” Florence laugh so hard as he can’t believe on what he witness.
“So give me my elemental shards, and begin your sweet talk with the kid, damn playboy!” Ace appeared at his side, the young man is in uniform of Tue Evergreen Academy with his long hair reaches to his back.
“Ok, ok, here’s the elemental shards, oh hello there dear Missy” Florence talk as he summon from his runic ring a small box contain the runic elemental shards and toss it on Ace and return his gaze on Neil. “Wanna hit the bar?”
“I think not for today Florence, you know what happen last night right?” Neil made a bitter and dark smile as he point an Ice Woman in the back of the two, her presence alone scare so much every bystander present and made some of them run away in horror.
Florence froze all of the sudden so is Ace, they felt a bone chilling aura and when they shift their heads, they felt it, a persona of eternal winter horror floating in mod air with her soul piercing eyes gazing at the two, Florence and Ace can’t breath, their energy power flow freeze, both the three and other bystanders that can’t move is having a cold sweat all over their bodies.
“Lil' Neil, didn’t I told you last night, you are not drinking any liquor when you not reach yet the drinking age limit, right?” Faye stated as she made a murderous smile.
“That’s why I decline right, can you calm down now, you'll gonna kill my new friends, big sister Faye” Neil replied, trying to calm the quiet upset Ice woman.
“I see, as for you, I will let you off for now, but one wrong move on my Lil' Neil” Faye speak in chilly tone but sooner she calms. “Consequences is painful than dying”
“Ok! As you wished milady! Pleased spare my life! I will do anything for you!” Florence shrieked as ace become pale, it was a dreadful experience for two as if they staring at an ancient terrifying snow spirit.
Faye finally calm down as she descend to the ground slowly, her intimidating and terrifying appearance earlier turn back into a beautiful and serene goddess complexion, relieving the fear of everyone present, she approach Neil and hugged him very tight.
“Ahh~ my cute Neil, why you didn’t visit big sister? I’m looking for you in every nook and cranny of this huge academy, you don’t like big sister anymore don’t you?” Faye ask with a frustrated face with few tears flowing at front of Neil.
“I love you ok, so don’t make any ruckus here, you’ll getting the attention of everyone here you know?” Neil boldly replied as he sigh in disbelief.
“So you love big sister! Oh Lil' Neil, confessing like that, you naughty boy!” Faye surprised as her complexion turn to a mischievous one.
“I have a business with these two, so if you please-“ Neil brushed Faye's teased as he look at the two with quiet scared and nervous demeanor.
“No! I have to keep an eye on you, I promise mom to protect you till you are surely safe and sound” Faye replied immediately as she pressed her finger to Neil's lusciously tender lips.
“Ok, ok, Florence and Mr. Ace, got some good location?” Neil respond to Faye and ask the two.
“Fun-Tea House at the side of school, looks like you also got the attentions of big shots, beauty squirt” Florence answer as he cool himself and Ace. “Not to tell, the “Arch-Angel” Wilhelmina Newcastle and President “Divine Phoenix” Fate Rosa Stormweaver.
“Duh, they knew this “Crimson Chaos” Battle Sage, and said to me that I have resemblance of her younger years, this is not a joke, any ringing bells?” Neil said in defensive tone.
“Bullshit! Madame Cynthia Scarlet! You don’t know her?” Ace blurted out in shock on how Neil is Clueless about the well renown Battle Sage. “Wow,,, unbelievable, I'm gonna be frank with you, everyone in the mainland knows her, no one in the other continent will dare to mess with her.
Upon hearing Ace's outburst, Faye looses her patience on mouthing her beloved cute adopted little brother, she then release a terrifying Ice aura as the floor of the marble road was covered in ice and the nearby walls are covered in snow, the whole corridor become a mint winter land followed up by thick cold mist, everyone present at the campus except the four, are rushing out to avoid being froze in cruel coldness.
“Dude, don’t be so rude with Little Neil, both we are from the Snow Speak island, he came from small village with small information and connection, sorry for his outburst, please forgive us,,, brr, so cold!” Florence immediately apologize as he endure the freezing atmosphere.
“Shit! Milady! There is no time! Quick absorb the ice now!” Neil ordered in his connective consciousness to Lily White, Lily White obeyed and appeared out of thin air and summon her “Pagoda of Ancient Ice Divinity”.
All the scattered ice elements are suddenly vanish into the Ice crafted pagoda and being absorb and refine inside of it, also it reveals Lily White's otherworldly goddess beauty to the three and even the people outside the campus gate, they witness her unparalleled and ethereal beauty, everyone except Neil and Faye, felt that their breath is taking away, her presence alone can charm anyone in just one glance, one thing came out of their minds upon seeing her.
“A goddess,,,”
