*********** ************** *********** **************** **************

I woke up early in the morning, today is my first day of school; the room I slept in is a really big one, it possess a personal bathroom, toilet and a closet where many uniform are hung.

I took one of the uniform in the closet and changer, it was a white skirt and a white sweater. When i changed in, my bracelet started shining and my clothes started turning brown; maybe the clothes colors depend on the rank of the student?

After I changed, I wanted to go try the food in the cafeteria... that was my intention, so WHY I AM I IN THE GARDEN?!

I can't forget anything I see or hear, I perfectly remember the way I took with Faust yesterday; yet here I am lost... the same thing happened many time in my previous world, I am I really one of those people who can't find their direction whatever they do?...  And why are those garden so big?!

As I was wandering in those stupid garden, I heard a voice coming from a bush nearby. Finally someone who can help me ! I got closer but it looked their were the voice of people quarreling, I hidded in the bush of the garden and observed them, there's a girl arguing with 3 boys.

The girl has a diamond bracelet at her wrist and is dressed in a blue skirt and sweater; she got short black hair and green eyes and is a little smaller than me, the two boy got a silver one and are dressed in a yellow sweater and pants, they look like the type of kid who enjoy bullying people. However the third who is currently talking with the girl, got a golden one and is dressed in a red sweater and pants red, he got short blond hair and blue eye, he look like a noble kid, however he possess a somewhat arrogant look in his eyes which annoy me...

(Girl voice) : "... who are you to tell me what to do?!"

(Boy voice) : "The elder son of the Duke Gerferd, from the empire Theristid"

(Girl voice) : "And what right does it give you to order me like that?

Edward : "My father is one of the most important noble of the empire and is currently trying to marry me to you, it mean that I am the one who on the top of being your husband."

(Girl voice) : "Like hell I will marry a jerk like you !"

Edward : "What did you say you bitch?!"

As the boy said those words, he punched to girl in the face, after seeing that I runned to her and stood in front of the boy.

Shina : "Stop it now you jerk !"

Edward : "What did you say you shitty slave?!"

The boy tried to hit me, but I just dodged and hit him in the stomach, he dropped on his knee hugging his stomach.

Edward : "How dare you, a mere slave! Where is your owner?!"

The two boy behind Edward rushed at me, but they are really slow; I who is used to fight head on won't lose to them, last time I was embushed, but on a fight where I know where my opponent is, I won't go down so easily.

One of the boy tried to grab me, I didn't dodge; but rushed at him, after hitting him with my knee in the stomach, he simply dropped to the ground. Meanwhile the second boy, slower than the first one tried to kick me, it was really an amateur's kick.

I took a step back and the kick missed me, I grabbed his foot and threw it on the ground. The second boy fell and looked at me like he was going to cry.

Shina : "I got no owner you jerk, and I am not a slave. My name is Shina Dragonheart, if you got a problem with me then come at me !

The boy looked at me with a face telling something like 'I ll get my revenge for that you bitch, I will ruin your life'. He then just left leaving his two friend behind, or should I say looking at this situation, his two henchmans.

I turned to the girl who was staring at me with an astonished expression, I gave her my hand to help her to get up. She looked at my hands, and then snapped out of her previous state and took it.

Shina : "Are you okay?"

Girl : "I could have dealt with it myself you know !... But thank you..."

She replied to me with a crimson expression, she said that she didn't need my help, but I feel that she is really sincere in her thanks...

Girl : "My name is Estiel Kiel; the second princess of this country, Nice to meet you Shina Dragonheart."

Shina : "Just call me Shina, by the way do you know the way to the cafeteria? I am lost..."

Estiel : "Hehe, you are new right? Everyone get lost when they enroll." She told me with a little giggle, which by the way is pretty cute.

Shina : "Yes! I am lost only because I am lost ! It's really not because I got absolutely no sense of direction !"... I feel like I just admited everything... I feel soooo dumb right now.

Estiel : " *fufu* I... I see...However it is too late to go to the cafeteria, class will start soon, you will have to do without breakfast for today" She is really

It's not like I need to eat to survive, but I developped an hobby in tasting food because of dad.

Shina : "Can you guide me to my classroom please?"

Estiel : "Sure, what class are you in?"

Shina : "... What class I am I in again?... I don't really know myself..."

Estiel : " *pffffffffff* We-Well, let's just go to my classroom, your uniform look the same as mine if you don't take count the color so you must be in the same years as me."

... I want to die right now...

*********** ************** *********** **************** **************

We arrived at Estiel classroom, when we entered, class had already begun. The teacher was Faust, it look like the first class is magic training.

Faust : "It look like Miss Estiel brought our new student, you have my thanks, I tasked some teacher of bringing her here if they saw her; I forgot to tell her which class she was in." Faust left a sigh of relief come out, it seem he was worried about me...or maybe about mankind?

Shina : "Geez... How could you forget something so important Faust?!"

Estiel : "Shina, are you an acquaintance of the principal?" She asked me with a shocked look on her face.

Shina : "Not really, I  just met him yesterday, I came with my caretaker who after discussing with Faust, 'convinced' him with really 'nice' argument to take care of me for a while, everything was done in a really peaceful way..."

Faust : " *Ermhh* Please Miss Kiel rejoin your seat... Well let me introduce you to your new classmate, Miss Shina Dragonheart, this year will be her first unlike you who already spent two years. Her rank is actually bronze; bronze rank are the one who sit on the front row."

As he looked to the front row, it was already full; the only desk left were on the back row, for the royaltys.

Faust : "It look like all only seat are left, you may sit there for now."

I walked to the last row and sat between Estiel and another girl, that girl too got a diamond ring, however she is a demihuman, she possess long red hairs who look fluffy and nice to touch, her ears are and tail of the same color are a wolf's one.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

I sat at my desk and she waved her hand at me, I ll try to speak to her after class. As the class was about to resume, the door opened once more, and this time it was Edward entering.

Faust : "Mister Gerferd, you are late; I hope you got an explanation." That jerk had to be my classmate?!

Edward : "Yes mister, I ran into a slave which went crazy and started to attack me on the way here."

I can't believe how low that boy can be...

Faust : "A crazy slave... Please find a better excuse next time, and remember that in this school, demihuman have the same right as human. You can go to your seat"

Edward just ignored Faust warning and went to Gold's seat which is in front of us. On his way, he looked to Estiel and finally noticed me at her side.

Edward : "YOU !! I FINALLY FOUND YOU !" Edward yelled at me

Faust : "Is there a problem mister Gerferd?" Faust asked with a worried look.

Edward : "Principal, this is the slave who attacked me !"

Estiel : "Lie! She just beat you after you tried to attack her!" Estiel answered back to his accusation.

Faust : "That demihuman mister Gerferd is your new classmate, Shina Dragonheart. Please mind your manner."

Edward : "Why is that demihuman, what more a bronze ranked one doing at the royalty row?!"

Faust : "There aren't any seat for her on the front row, so I allowed her to sit here"

Edward : "I can't allow her do to as she want !" He yelled ignoring Faust, he then looked at me with an arrogant smile.

Edward : "I know, I challenge you to a duel !" He said with with a proud smile.

Faust : "I won't allow that duel ! Absolutely NOT!"

Shina : "A duel?" I asked Edward ignoring Faust.

Edward : "A duel with wooden weapon between you and me, no magic allowed !" He answered

Faust : "Miss Dragonheart, you don't have to accept; Mister Gerferd, stop this act now!"

Shina : "I accept !" I answered Edward with a confident smile, it is what I need to make sure he won't bother me later.

Estiel : "Don't accept, Edward is a genius in Wind-Cutting style ! He is already C rank !"

Edward : "Too late, she accepted, she can't go back now."

Shina : "And I don't want to back down."

Faust : "I told you I won't allow this duel !"

Edward : "Principal, you are the one who wrote the rules, if two people agree to a duel, nobody can interfere, not even you. Now let's go to the battle room."

*********** ************** *********** **************** **************

We are in a small stadium where physical class like martial art training is normally held. I am armed with a simple wooden sword like I asked while Edward who is standing 20 meters in front of me is armed with two wooden sword. It look like Wind-Cutting sword is a dualsword style.

Faust is watching us while having a hard time for breathing and with a pale face. Estiel is standing at his side with a worried face, is that boy really that strong?

All the class came to watch the fight, and some older student which were using the stadium for training came to watch it too. I start getting nervous from such an audience...

Edward : "Are you ready or do you want to back down?!" He yelled, making sure everyone heard him to humiliate me.

Shina : "Geez...Are we here for chatting or fighting? Please choose already !" I answered him back.

From his face, I can tell he is angry; he rushed at me and slashed with his right sword, but I easily dodged by walking a little further than the range of his sword. He then attack with his left sword, but I again dodged it from almost nothing by stepping backward.

He then releashed a flurry of attack, but I dodged them all like his previous attack; since the begin of the fast my guard is dropped and I am only walking to dodge his slash, he is really slow... is he really a genius?

Edward : "Hah...Hah... Stop runing away you coward !" He said out of breath, he look pitiful...

Shina : "I am not running away, since the begin I am only walking, you are the one who is just too slow..."

Edward : "You..."

He then rushed at me with his two sword above him... How can someone who show such a big openning be called genius?... I throwed my sword away, then dashed at him and punched him in the stomach. He dropped to the ground and his two sword dropped to the ground.

Shina : "I guess you are just all talk..."

I turned my back to him and started walking in Estiel's direction, when I heard something come out of his mouth.

Edward : "Spirits of fire, join your strengh together with mine and destroy my enemy, Fireball !"

When I turned back, a little fireball was rushing to me, it was already too late to dodge. However, I have something to counter it

Shina : "Water" I used Ancient Language to a make a giant ball of water from around 2 meter in front of me, it absord the fireball like it was nothing and disappeared.

Edward was like everyone else were shocked, but the most shocked was Faust who is the only one who know what really happened.

Faust : "Ancient Language..." He muttered.

Faust then regained his mind and walked to Edward.

Faust : "Mister Gerferd, aren't you ashamed from what you did? You broke the rules of the duel you made yourself and that in front of so many people."

Edward : "Shut up, when my father will hear about all that, he will make sure that slave won't live another day!"

As Faust was about to reply, a teacher came running to them, he was panting hard; but after getting his breath back, he said something to Edward and Faust, but I couldn't hear.

Teacher : "Mister, the whole domain of the Duke Gerferd was burned to ashe by a grey dragon; the emperor of Theristid judged the Duke as responsible from what happened and removed his title of nobility."

This news shocked Edward and Faust, Edward started crying, while Faust face became even paler than before and his breath became faster.

*********** ************** *********** **************** **************

I don't know what happened, but after that we were freed from class for today; we were supposed to have magic training all the day, but because of Faust health condition we were dismissed for now. I wonder what happened to him...

This is how my first day at school went.
