[Location: Focalor, Belros School]

"So, this is the Belros school that big brother Vernon and big sister Nathalia used to attend" Nepheria said, as this is the school that her brother and sister used to attend, but it seems different than what she thought it would be.

"But this place seemed to be a bit too beautiful. Don't you think I thought that this school was brutal and filled with blood, just like my brother said? But it seems what he just said is a lie" Nepheria said, as the thought that the place would be filled with blood is not true at all. She even believes that this place is very dangerous, but it seems Vernon just lied to her.

"Oh well, time to enjoy my school life. Be careful, Belros, because the little sister of the grand magus of the never-ending tower is here" Nepheria said as she stepped inside the Belros. She suddenly smelled something burning.

Smelling it, Nepheria suddenly ran to the place where she smelled the burn. As she got closer to it, she saw smoke in the air. Seeing it, she hurriedly ran faster to help whoever was in the fire.

As she appeared in the area where the smoke was, she saw a little girl that looked the same age as her grilling a fish. Seeing this Nepheria stopped her tracks, not because of the surprise but because of the little girl's beauty.

Nepheria had fallen in love at first sight. As her face blushes at the beauty of the little girl in front of her.

"U-um, excuse me, but what are you grilling?" Nepheria asked the little girl in front of her. As the little girl looked at her, the little girl was surprised to think that the little sister of the grand magus of the never-ending tower would be in front of her on the first day of school, making her flustered, so she hurriedly said what she was cooking.

"I-I'm grilling a yram bass, Miss Nepheria" the little girl said with a wary voice as she bowed at Nepheria, fearing the thought of offending her. Hearing her say that she is grilling a yram bass, Nepheria's eyes sparkled, but she seemed to be bothered that the little girl seemed to have forced herself to speak respectfully to her, so she thought of a plan so that the little girl does not need to force herself to speak respectfully and talk like equals, like she wanted.

"Hehe, to think you know of my name, can I ask your name?" Nepheria asked the little girl for her name as she looked at her with sparkling eyes, as she wanted to know her name. She also approached and held her hands, instantly surprising the little girl.

Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

"My name?" The little girl asked if she was hearing it correctly. The sister of the legendary grand magus of the never-ending tower is asking her name with such a cute eye, similar to that of the cats that she had in her home. They always act cute in front of her whenever they want something.

Seeing the similar act of a cat, she instantly knew that Nepheria wanted something from her. She didn't know what it was that Nepheria wanted, but just to be safe, she would say her name.

"Yes, your name" Nepheria said as her eyes shined more cutely, as she wanted to know the little girl's name so that she could remember it. Seeing this, the little girl is sure now that Nepheria's eyes shined even more cutely.

"My name is Crown Vortigern" Crown said her name to Nepheria. Hearing it, Nepheria seemed to be happy as she had a wide smile on her face. Seeing this, Crown finally understood that Nepheria only wanted to know her name, making her sigh in relief that it's not something but just her name.

"Hello Crown, my name is Nepheria. Do you want to be my friend?" Nepheria said as she looked at Crown with the intent of wanting to turn her into her friend. Hearing this baffled Crown a lot, as she was a middle-ranking noble friend with the little sister of the grand magus of the never-ending tower. This is too surprising for her.

"What?" Crown asked if he had heard it wrong. After all, there's no way an influential child like Nepheria would want to be friends with a middle-ranking noble. She should be friends with the high-ranking nobles or royalties instead.

"A friend, F.R.I.E.N.D, friend, you had only two options first one is yes and the other is also yes" Nepheria would not take chances of not gaining a friend, so she gave her two choices with the same answers, scaring Crown with what Nepheria wanted to her.

"Yes?" Crown said instinctively, as she didn't know what to say at all. It was all too sudden. Her Crown Vortigern, a middle-ranking noble, became friends with the most influential child in the whole Belros school, which was just too sudden for her.

"Yay! I finally had a friend. Thank you for being my first friend, Crown" Nepheria said as she jumped happily that she finally had a friend. Ever since the start, she wanted a friend, but for the others, she's too high for them to reach, as they became jealous of her. This also became one of the reasons why she didn't have a friend until Crown appeared in her life.

"You didn't have any friends before?" Crown hearing what Nepheria just said, frowned as she could not believe such a thing due to the fact that she is a very high-ranking and most special student in the school, yet she didn't have a single friend at all before her. She thought that with her rank she would be flocked by many high-ranking nobles.

"I didn't have any friends before due to the fact that I'm too much of a genius to exclude me from everyone, even if I asked them if they wanted to be my friend, but most of them just wanted to use me for their own gain, so I gave them the perfect punishment for them, and that is to tell my brother, and you are the first one, Crown. You had my thanks" Nepheria said as she smiled at the dumbfounded Crown.

As the bell at the school rang,

"Let's go, Crown. The bell has rung" Nepheria said as she smiled, dragging Crown with her.

"Wa- Wait" Crown said as she was dragged by Nepheria.
