Peaking at wagon glass window I see a huge wall going far beyond my eyes can see, "We're finally here im dying of boredom." The wagon slowdown and the driver show a verification card at the person wearing steel armor "We have been verified your identity. Guys open up the gates."
~Clank
The loud sound of a chains echo in my ear, I look outside and see peoples wearing heavy steel armor at side of the gate, "Wearing that armor must be pretty hard and tiring, now that we're inside of the Kingdom the wagon probably go straight into the Academy." Few minutes more the wagon reaches the Academy gate and entered after showing an identity card.
The wagon stopped and the driver open the wagon door, Stepping out of the wagon I thanked the driver and look around, "Hey lad, just a little advice be careful of the royals they can't do much about ya inside of the Academy but when you goes outside it's a different story, and with your looks ladies will try to get you so be careful and I almost forgot Welcome to Kingdom of Gold." Hearing the man voice I nodded because its true.
"I think the ceremony will start in a hour, I need to find my assign room probably asking people is the only way." Walking around I spot two students like me who arrived earlier, "Hello ladies do you happen to know the way to Boys Dorm?" I asked politely with a small smile.
( Pov ??? )
"Right? The garden is so beautiful it's a perfect place to relaxed I'll visit it again next time." Said by the green haired girl to her girl friend who also agreeing.
"Hello ladies do you happen to know the way to Boys Dorm?" A manly voice made me stop walking. Looking at the source of it I saw a golden hair and ocean blue eyes smiling handsome man
Golden haired? my eyes winded and directly answer the handsome man question, "Ah yes if you head straight and turn left you will see the Dorm building." My heart skip a beat, I answered the man question fast. Blushing I forgot to breath and feel my legs weaken, Oh no my legs lose its strength and I slowly fell forward but before I hit the floor someone pulled me up and push me to their chest.
"Hey are you alright? Your temperature are really high." Said by the man with worry tone.
My heart beating faster than I breathe, my mind slowly emptying any thoughts, I heard a faint voice calling me before I lose my consciousness.
( Pov Jade )
I stared at green haired girl who seem lose consciousness, "Hey wake up." Trying to wake up the girl but no matter how many times I shake her or called her she didn't respond, looking at the other girl "Hey do you know where's the Academy clinic?" The purple haired girl panicking nodded and lead the way. I carried the fainted girl with princess carry postion, as we make our way to clinic some students see us and is whispering.
"Golden haired is he Royalty? Also why he carried the girl like that?" Students starting to file up and rumors about a Prince helping a commoner girl to get a medical attention by carrying her to clinic.
As we open the clinic room a woman approach us, "What happened? Lay her down on the middle cots." The woman check the unconscious girl and look at the students, "Nothing serious she passed out because of high blood pressure" the woman look at the young man and nodded to herself with a understanding look.
"I see then I'll go now and tell her my thanks for help earlier." After the young man left the room, the woman then look at the other girl, "You know that guy? He looks like from Royalty, though I'll tell you why your friend fainted she passed out because of embarrassment, did something happen involving the other student?"
This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
The purple haired girl blushed recaling the moments her friend fell on the handsome man chest, "Yes and it went like this...........
Leaving the clinic room I walk my way to the dorm that the girl pointed to, while walking some students glance at me especially girls and gossiping about me but I remain expressionless and ignored them. After few minutes of walking around and ignoring more people who stared at me like I'm a walking artifact, I finally reach the building.
"Damn it's look like a 5 star hotel at front, and there's also another building at the west side of the Academy for girls dorm which is understandable to separate their dorms rather than combining it." Walking through the crowded people, who for some reason make a way for me. At the end of way a Golden haired person approach me.
"Hey Jade Starling right? You really do have a Golden haired it is due to Magic Stone Tablet you found?." Staring at fake smiling boy I remain expressionless and respond after 2 minutes, "Yes." I walked passed by the still smiling boy and entered the building to find my dorm room.
'That handsome guy just ignored the prince aren't they supposed to know each other because they are from the same place?' Question arose from students who witness the scene, while the prince still standing at same spot grinding his teeth.
Inside of the building there's a man with mustache that almost reaching his ears and sat on chair while reading the clipboard at desk on front of him, approaching the man and placing my Identification card that I received along with the letter "Oh hello student please wait a moment so that I can take a look at where your room at." The man quickly read my Identification and begun to searching on the clipboard "There you are room 13 just go upstairs and walk to right hall you will find your room." Taking back the ID I thanked the man and goes upstairs.
"Room 8,9,10,11,12 and 13." Placing the ID on the scanner the door open and it revealed the 5 star dorm "Its this supposed to be a dorm? More like a expensive hotel." Amazed for a minute I begun to sort my stuffs "This world are more advanced due to magic but still lacked few things such as the foods there's only few products here to enjoy hell even mayonnaise wasn't invented yet, I can be a successful merchant but that'll make my life more boring than before."
Looking at the pocket clock I carried with me, "Almost 10 I should probably go to Ceremony Hall now." Leaving the dorm and carrying my small bag tied to my right waist carrying few things.
Inside of Ceremony Hall a beautiful and large banquet hall represent infront of me with people already sitting with their friends and chatting until I walk in, students stared at me with different expression but I ignored them and spot two familiar girl at the corner table.
Approaching them I asked "Can I sit with you ladies?" Getting their approval I sat on opposite side.
"Thank you for your helping me back then." Said by flushed green haired girl "Don't mind it, I'm just returning the favor." I replied "Now that we meet again I haven't asked your names? My name's Jade."
"Its Anne." The green girl respond and the other purple haired girl follow "Mine is Faye." Extending my right hand to shake Anne hand her face becomes more reded.
"Hey you alright? You should rest more." While still holding her hand, I feel her hand slip out slowly fell onto the table and her head slowly follow but Faye manage to catch Anne head before it drop onto the table "Hey what happened should I carry her into the clinic?"
"No, she's always like this passing out from time to time nothing serious hahaha." Faye said with a nervous laugh and sweat dripping on side of her face even though the hall temperature is around 2°C or 36°F
"Alright, just be careful her suddenly collapsing at dangerous places." Faye nodded and I waited til the ceremony begins.
Looking around I saw a lots of student if I count them probably a thousand, there's also seventh Golden haired probably Royalty, 'They are all Magic Rune users, I know 20 of them since I've played them as a character but rest are unknowns.
The wait didn't last long, a figure step out of the side curtain and step up to the stage where a floating magic microphone is placed at middle of the stage.
"Test 1, Test 2, Test 3 Alright we're good." Said by a man who looks like at his 30s "Sorry for the wait, now all of you must be tired and hungry from your travel so I won't take much of your time longer." The man cough and continue his speech.
"Welcome to Academy where you will learned to fully harness your skill you got from Magic Tablets, and also helped the humanity face the Corrupted, they can be people, animals or even yourself. That's the sole reason Academy was build to fight It, for the other reason why we faced it or the reason Magic Tablets exist your teachers will handle that, now enjoy the feast and the class will start tomorrow."
After the speech ended students starting eating their food and I followed, biting into drumstick roasted chicken and chewing it, "It's not bad and not good either, it lacked proper seasoning, what a pity I'm looking forward for it but it's disappointing." Placing down the roasted chicken and placed it aside.
Anne who woke up earlier because of the announcement, noticed Jade didn't like the chicken, "What's wrong with the chicken? It tastes good." Still chewing the chicken she asked.
"Nothing I just don't like the taste I'll just eat some slice bread." Placing the bread slices in front of me, I reach something in my small bag, and found the small jar of mayonnaise, opening it and spread on slice bread then I take a bite.
Anne and Faye stared at Jade eating slice of bread but what they're curious about is the white substance Jade's put on his bread, "What's that some sort of cream?" Anne curiously asked, "It's Mayonnaise something I made before coming here, you can try it." Jade hand the small jar to Anne and Faye also spread it on slice bread then take a bite.
"It's DELICIOUS! can I get a jar? I'll pay it of course." Anne sudden shout attracting other students attention but only realized it after feeling people staring at their table.
"You can have that jar." Jade still eating his bread without care about the stared.
Suddenly a Golden Haired person who Jade met before approach the table, "Seem like you guys have an interesting topic mind if I join you?"
