I put on my hood as I exit the carriage and my god.
This is it.I really am not on earth anymore,this is exactly what I would imagine when the phrase"races of a different world" comes into mind.
Hundreds of students walking through the massive front gate,I can see people with cat ears and a thin tail,some with just a thin black tail with a spade like fan at the end.Others had horns and what looked like lightly black colored scales around the back of their neck and part of the arms.Ogres or is it orcs? walking with people with .......fox tails?yes,tails as in multiple.The most I have seen so far is 3 tails on a person.
I look up to the sky
There were plenty of students descending from the sky as well.They were either riding dragons,or giant snakes.Let me repeat that,dragons and snakes.I can understand dragons but snakes?! Who was the asshole that decided to make them bigger and give them the ability to fly?I'll tell you who,someone who wants to watch the world burn.
The students were landing a bit far away from the gate or the students themselves had wings.fucking goddam wings! and would land directly in front of the gate.
"With how well you have been taking the whole transfer to a different plane, It's surprising seeing you speechless"said Belle as she exited the carriage and stood beside me.She originally was wearing what looked like a white longed sleeved dress shirt and a black skirt with blue outlines with tights but now she was wearing the same blue robe I was over it ,she even had the hood on .Where did she hide that robe?well,that aside the robe we were wearing was long enough to reach around mid shin and with the hood on, it completely masks the person wearing it.
"I'm a man full of surprises"
"I hope only good ones"
We start walking and enter the gate
"Where would the fun be in that?
Once we entered the gate there is a road that leads directly to the school building and on both sides of this road are spacious grassy areas adorned with different type of statues.Small ponds,benches and tables with sunroofs where students are relaxing.
A good amount of the students aren't wearing a blue robe but luckily there is just enough students wearing it so I won't stand out.I guess the robe is optional?
As we silently walked I couldn't help but shoot glances at all the students from under my hood .....It's my first time seeing those races I can't help it! The ears and tails actually display their emotions! That ogre is huge! he looks around 7 feet? his skin is a dark green and I can see two fangs coming out of the bottom lip.
I continue to look around
Wait is that..........Elf ! An elf right in front of me ! holy shit ! The staple race when you think of fantasy! She is carrying a large bow on her back ,but I don't see any arrows.She was wearing a dark blue skirt with a black coat, the same as the other female students, and she was hot like one would expect from an elf .Without knowing I ended up staring.
Belle elbows me on my ribs,knocking me back into my senses.When I looked at her since I'm a bit taller than her and she is wearing a hood I couldn't see her face.She just kept walking like nothing happened.
"What was that for?"
"....."
"Be-"
She gets closer to me and lowers her voice so only the two of us can hear
"Don't call my name"
".....Why"
"If the other students find out who I am I will get swarmed by them.Then I wouldn't be able to take you to the headmaster"
"wait why the headmaster?"
If the headmaster decides to test me with anything related to magic I'm fucked.
"He wants to meet you.I'm bringing you in as a visitor and well....He knows about the summoning.."
"You told him ?! "
"No! It's just...I... may have failed to hide a large amount of magic that was released when I summoned you..so...all the gods are aware of your existence.... but It's ok! The further they are the less likely they are to find you,the most they would feel is a large amount of magic in a general direction ! "
shit......but it's not like It's a crime for me to be here right?
"But it's ok for me to be here right ?"
"Completely....If there is something to worry about it would be catching the attention of a bored god"
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
she's right...what are the odds of that happening?but...just in case,I should find a way to defend myself one way or another in this academy.
"If anything happens I have my reliable Belle to help me"
"hm~what makes you think I would help you?"
I reach out from under my robe and grab her hand that was under her robe,interlocking the fingers.
"The same reason why you won't push my hand away "
"out of kindness?"
"I like to think affection"
Belle never responded but happily hummed the rest of the walk.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The school building had two towers on each side.The way the building looks, it reminds me of a cathedral.But the amount of windows and decorations on each floor is ridiculous,I guess it's something you would expect from an elite school.
After climbing 7 floors worth of stairs we were just outside the room of the headmaster.
"huff....huff....Damn it,...you people have magic,why the hell is the only way to get up here a shit ton of stairs!?"
Each floors ceiling was higher than normal in order to give that "luxury" feel.Those damn assholes that made this school didn't think about how hard that would make getting to the higher floors.
"Not everyone can fly you know?The stairs aren't even that bad just reinforce your body with magi-" said Belle,stopping mid sentence ."You don't have magic...so you walked all the way up here with just your body.. ."
"Of course I don't !" I said as I wiped some sweat from my forehead
"pfftt That must have sucked."
She started laughing.
To have magic,how nice it must be.
"damn right.Lets just meet the headmaster and get this over with."
"That's the spirit! " she opens the door revealing a room with what looks like a reception table and a woman scribbling something with stacks of paper around her.
"Hey Mia is Cyril inside?"Said Belle
"huh? oh hey Belle,yeah just go right on in" Said Mia
She looked like she was in her 20's.Long black hair ,dark red eyes,extremely white skin and I think I saw fangs when she talked..She was wearing the same white dress shirt as Belle.We made eye contact.
"Hello,you must be the visitor Cyril mentioned,a pleasure to meet you"said Mia while smilling
I walk over until I'm directly in front of the desk
I take off my hood
"Call me michael,a pleasure to meet you mrs.Mia"
"oh,I never married.."
"No one wanting a beautiful woman to themselves?surely you must be joking"
Mia sighs
"If only....I've been so busy with work... I haven't had time to socialize"
" To live such a hard life...Make sure to go out with someone and enjoy the day every now and then."
Mia giggles
"Would this someone be referring to you?"
"Only If it must "
Mia leans in
"I'm not against the idea you know.."
I felt a chill run down my back.I turn around and see Belle standing there.Fuck I completely forgot she was there!
"As fate would have it, I need to meet the head master.Lets meet up for drinks some time!"
I walk away before she responds.I pass the scary looking Belle and open the door that was to the side.
"WWWHHHYY CRUEL WORLD! DON"T LET HIM TAKE MIA!"(unknown voice)
"......"
Everyones attention was on an old man with a grey robe and long beard on his knees,crying.
"ah "(oldman)
He stares at us
"....Hello"
I didn't know what else to say.
he quickly disappears and appears again standing with no sign of tears.
"yes yes,welcome! I was expecting you !"
He takes a couple steps closer and looks closely at my face and body as he strokes his beard.
"I see, I believe Introductions are in order ! My name is Cyril and I am the headmaster of this academy !"
He motions us to go in his office
"come in come in ! Mia I want Coffee with Lemon but hold the Coffee! I'm expecting a damn big Lemon!''
I look back and I see Mia and Belle giving me a just accept it face.
Well,let's see how this goes.Me and Belle walk into his office.
