I followed Neko-chan through the academy grounds. Wow-zers! I'm liking this school alot. Signs of active-student life were found everywhere.
A group of shirtless male students were jogging around the campus, their powerful bodies flexing in and out. Another group of mixed students were having an elegant tea ceremony. Yet another group of male students were having a picnic. Hmm... they didn't look too bad, although I was clearly leagues above them. For one, they wore actually decent clothing, and also their facial features weren't that disagreeable. The girls knew how to apply makeup and had fashionable hair styles while the guys knew that even for mages, a nice delicious muscle body was something you just had to have! I guess since this school was only for the upper class nobles, you wouldn't find any losers here. They would simply lower the reputation! Thank god.
I was in a really good mood since there was no eye-sores in sight so I smiled at everything. What was there not to be happy about?! I had a great start to my new life, got accepted into my dream school, and will probably make lots of friends! I might even find a man suitable for me! Kyaa!~
The students around me turned their heads and followed my every move.
"What a kind, radiant smile! Did a goddess descend to grace us mortals?!"
Heh, you mongrels are graced! You should be happy you could see this once-in-a-lifetime beauty before you died. You can tell your grandchildren that you once saw the great Scarlet-sama. Oh-hohoho!
Some male students got on their knees and began praying to the sky, clasping their hands.
"My god, what a perfectly balanced body! She has the curves and the fats perfectly where she needs them. I wonder what is the secret in her diet!"
The girls at the tea ceremony glanced enviously at my amazing sexy body. Heh, there was no secret. You just couldn't eat peasant food! Only high class food like that steak I forgot the name of. Brokeback Boar? I should get it again the next time I go to that restaurant!
I stook my nose high in the air and walked with my hands on my hips, swaying like a model. Neko-chan saw what I was doing and began to copy me, prancing at the tips of its paws. So kawaii!~
The residence hall was at the northwest corner of the campus. OH EM GEE! It was made out of pure white marble and had some pink bricks integrated into its structure as well. This was so chic! If it had some black bricks, it would've given off a cool punk rock vibe.
By now, I had a crowd of admiring students following me, but keeping their distance to remain respectful.
"L-look, she's going into the all-girls Murlyn Residence Hall! Is she a transfer student?"
"She definitely is! Transfer students are always gorjeous!"
"I wonder which family she comes from... I don't recognize her!"
Of course you don't recognize me, dummy! I came from another world, after all!
"Her looks are so exotic as well... Maybe she came from outside the Kingdom?!?!"
"That would be so fetch! I love making connections with nobles from other places!"
"Who cares about that?! I just want to be her boyfriend! She is so pretty and delicate. I love her red hair and golden irises..."
I was pretty unique-looking in my past life as well. I was half-Japanese, three-hundred-twenty-ninth New Yorker, and two-hundred-seventy-oneth Californian. I was basically a multiracial exotic beauty! Gosh, I had so many suitors because my genetics were basically perfect.
Neko-chan and I climbed up two flights of stairs, darted through a few corners before we arrived at room 216. The door was... large! It was a double door and the sign read "Room 216 (VIP)"

OH EM GEE! I got a VIP room?!? Getting a VIP room despite this school being full of nobles just showed how much the headmaster liked me! Of course, all my past teachers loved me because I was basically the smartest person in every class. I got 100 on each and every exam, it was like, amazing!
I excitedly opened the doors and looked inside. WOW! It looked almost exactly like my midtown flat, except smaller in size, obviously, and there was a lack of metal and glass in the furniture. The tables and floors were made out of mahogany wood and I even had a balcony in my bedroom! There was a sitting area and also a private bathroom, with a super large tub I can soak in after my days were over. Surprisingly, they seemed to have a water system and the stone toilet could actually flush? Was it because it was powered magically by the school?
But best of all was the walk in closet that was connected to my bedroom. It had enough space for 365 different outfits!!! I was worried where I was going to put all my different outfits. I looked around for Neko-chan, but she already disappeared. I think she knows some stealth or invisibility spell. Too bad, I wanted to pet her some more and then say goodbye.
Suddenly, I heard fireworks in the sky! It was still late afternoon, so you couldn't see the colors too clearly, but they were still a nice sight to watch. Of course, it wasn't anything like some of the grander firework displays I've seen in private parties.
"System Alert: The first heroes have been successfully summoned! Most will be summoned to random frontier towns where they will aid local forces in repelling monster raids. As they grow in strength, you may see them venture into inner cities like the Capital. Heroes will be continously summoned for upcoming years. Phase one of Era Incipere has begun!"
Another system alert! That's wierd. I swore the last alert said that the summoning would take place in five minutes, and I felt like five minutes passed awhile ago. Maybe time just passes by really fast when you are having fun. Or maybe the summoning process took awhile, and they just finished now? Well it doesn't really concern me, as long as the players don't bother me. It doesn't seem like they will even step foot into the Capital until some time since they will be too busy acting like peasants and fighting globins or something. Hah!
But! I quickly close the curtains so the room was mostly dark, save for some dulled afternoon light passing through the fabric. I tiptoed to the door and double checked that it was locked...
I then took my school uniform - blouse and skirt - off. Ah!~~~
"Kya!!!!!" I moaned as the damp air hit my naked body. It's been so long! One of the best reasons to live alone was that you could basically live in your underwear. I mean, I would've liked living with my parents too, but this feeling of freedom was awesome!
I tiptoed to the walk in closet where there was a full body mirror and examined myself.
Ah... I really did get skinnier after starving myself for almost two days. But, somehow my awesome genetics knew not to take away fat from my voluptuous breasts and perky butt. Instead, my stomach, arms, and legs were tauter than ever and I looked like an amazing supermodel.
"Mmm..." If only I could meet someone as perfect as myself, but a man. Actually, maybe a woman too. I'm not a lesbian, but if I had to choose a woman of my caliber or a man who was lower, I would have to go with the girl. But I would prefer if I could get some hotties ASAP!
I sniffed my bra and underwear. They still smelled like lavender and rosemary! Wow my genetics were so good, I produced natural smelling perfume. I guess I didn't need them changed, but I like different styles of underwear. Sometimes I feel sexy and need some lingerine. The color also mattered, you needed different color underwear depending on your mood.
I jumped onto the king-sized bed and snuggled against the soft covers. This bed was so large, you'll think it was made for four people! Hehe, I can probably fit three hunkies in here with me!
"Ah..." I stared at the cieling as I sprawed by body, stretching my arms and legs as far as they could go. They didn't even reach the corners of the bed, just the way I liked it.
I did manage to enroll in this academy, but I need to plan for my future. There was money to be made if I wanted to afford all the luxuries I wanted... Maybe I should become a fashion designer? I've been told I had execellent top-tier fashion sense. If that doesn't work I guess I can use the magic I learn to make money. I don't know how but I'm sure there were people that hired magicians to do stuff. Maybe teleport them places like Dumblegirl did to me?
Although part of me just wanted to lay low and enjoy life, I know that my beauty and excellence drew people to me, like moths to a beautiful fiery red-headed goddess. Therefore, I had to have some power, some way of defending myself against those who malacious intent. I burned too brightly in my last life and I paid for it dearly. I clenched my fist.
Learning magic was one way of ensuring my safety, but was it enough? Although I wasn't too bothered by the players who had just began trickling in and playing the game, they might pose a threat, if not months, then surely a year or years later. Would magic keep me safe from their clutches? Perhaps it would be smarter to use every method I can to ensure that I stayed safe and enjoyed this second chance at life.
But that can wait for tomorrow's me to think about. I stiffled a yawn and curled myself up in the bed. Ah, this was so comfy! Tomorrow is my first day of school... I hope I can make some real friends and learn some new magic!
"Oyasimi, Scarlet-chan." With this whisper and a smile, I began wiping away the fatigue of the few days.
