Chapter 4

The bronze, silver, and gold dorms are separated by genders. The only difference between them are their size.

The bronze dorms is rather large, though each room are shared by four people. The silver dorms are a bit smaller than the totality of the bronze dorms, but the rooms are only shared by two people. Also, it have some decorations unlike the bronze which only have the minimal. The gold dorms are lavishly decorated and each students have their own rooms in it.

"We are lucky that we get to be in the same room, and your near our room Cera. The sun is setting out, so we will be taking some rest so we can prepare earlier tomorrow." Helen told her.

"It is nice meeting the both of you!~♪" Cera waves her hand as the two finally got inside their room. "Now then..." She muttered as she looks at the door besides their room.

She slowly enters the room she was assigned with, peeking around for a bit before finally glancing at the person who is already inside. The girl seems to have noticed the door being opened by her.

"Oh my, so you must be my roommate."

Cera closes the door behind her before focusing her gaze at the girl. The girl have a shoulder length sky blue hair, and she have a pair of pale green eyes. Her body exudes a confidence unlike anything else, and she have a gaze that stares at her with a casual interest within it.

"Greetings. This one is Cera Celestia Planetos. Nice to meet you!~" She tried to imitate Helen's greeting with a curtsy before directing a bright smile on her.

"So polite and energetic too..." The blue head said with her eyes shining for a bit before standing up calmly. "Well, it will be rude not to respond back. I am Erina von Frunzel." She greeted with a simple bow. "So.... it seems like you have a talent within you...." She said, her eyes glinting a bit as she gazes at her with a smirk.

"Talent...?"

"Yes. I can't see through you." She simply stated.

Cera tilted her head at that, wondering what she is talking about. She can sense something within the girl is prodding her. She seems to be trying to peer through her existence, which she wonders why she is doing so.

She decided not to ask about it.

"Well then, we will be roommates for this year. I look forward to our coming days."

"Yes, me too!~"

Cera felt her gaze is a bit weird, but she thinks it is fine.

______________________________________

The following morning found Cera helping Erina on taking care of her.

Why? Cera actually didn't know. Erina just woke her up and told her to take care of her. She didn't really mind, as she have just finished her first experience dreaming on this mortal body. She also likes interacting with someone so she just decided to do it.

"Mhmmm~ That's good, your really good with this~"

"Thank you~"

Cera cheerfully nodded at the praise directed to her lackadaisically, before continuing on dressing up Erina skillfully. Her hands moves with a manner so efficient it felt like she have been doing this for a long time now.

Despite having done this for the first time, Cera can easily do this due to her capabilities. As the Creator of this world, she knows and can do everything. This includes every skills the whole mankind knows. Talent is something she can easily acquire by just doing it once.

Cera doesn't even see this as bothersome. She thinks she just needed some help, so she is doing so.

"Mhm... your exemplary. Why don't you work for my house after we graduate?"

"Work...?" Cera thinks about it for a bit. "Will I meet more friends if I do that?"

Erina gazes at her for a bit before shaking her head. "Well, I think I'll just ask you again next time." She said with a wave of her hand.

Cera quickly follows her as she opens the door. "Where are we going?" She asks in wonder.

"Isn't it obvious. We're going to the campus." She said before stopping, causing Cera to also stop.

She can see Mika and Helen also looking at them, their eyes blinking as they stare at Erina before glancing at Cera for a moment.

"W-wha--!?"

"F-for real...."

The two seems to be shaken as they gaze at Erina. Though Cera doesn't mind as she waves her hand at them.

"Good morning Mika, Helen. Did you have a good sleep?" She said with a cheerful smile. "Oh, this is my roommate, Erina!" She said.

"E-erina.... as in that Erina!?" Helen screeched in shock.

"What's the problem?" Cera asked with a tilt of her head.

"I can't believe that she will be with us on this school. Also, on the silver dorms too!?" Mika muttered under her breathe.

Cera is still feeling confused at their expression when Erina turns to her with a smile. "Are they your friends?"

"Hm? Yes! They're my friends!~" Cera answered cheerfully.

"I see...." She said before turning to them. "You two seem to know me... I thought I am hallucinating this night because this girl doesn't recognize me." She said as she crossed her arms and looks at them confidently.

"Oh, for Cera's name.... you really didn't know who she is!?" Helen asked as she directed her gaze at Cera.

"Uh... she is Erina von Frunzel?" She said with a tilt of her head.

Cera flinches when Helen and Mika suddenly got closer to her.

"She is not just Erina von Frunzel. She is Erina von Frunzel. One of the eight gems of our generation, the Talos Candidate, and the youngest Elementalist who can conjure the elements chantless!" Helen said.

"She is a really big deal, and she was supposed to be a student from Talos. How come she is here!?" Mika added to the side.

"Huh.... is that so?" Cera raises her eyebrow, looking confused about their words.

"Aaaah! You still didn't get how big of a deal she is!" Helen screeches before turning to Erina and then bowing repeatedly to her. "Sorry about her. She is very clueless about the world."

"Eh? I am clueless?"

Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.

"Just shut up and apologize! Your being rude to her!" Helen said.

The blue haired girl just giggled at their antics, causing the three to look at her as she waves her hand. "Don't mind it. I actually find her interesting." She said while gazing at them with that peering gaze.

".... Wow, you got her attention... that sounds amazing...." Mika muttered besides her in amazement.

"Uh.... thanks?" She just tilted her head. Still confused what is so special at getting Erina's attention.

"Anyway, we should get to the campus. I'd like to see if there are any interesting people around here." She said with a smirk.

""Yes!"" The two girls responded quickly.

"Okay~" Cera is the only one who answered with a carefree tone.

______________________________________

The main campus of the school is very large. It can be easily mistaken as a stadium. In the main campus, there are many students gathered to mingle around to each other.

It seems like the main campus have a lot of facilities within like the cafeteria, library, the large front hall where they are currently located, and the large yard outside that is more larger than this stadium-like building.

The three of them are following Erina as they walk around. The people are gawking as they glance and then recognized the confident blue haired girl.

Cera doesn't really get it and she is only following Erina in a carefree manner, which makes Helen and Mika glance at her in amazement.

"You know... I am getting amazed at Cera's carefree manner. She looks so unfazed at the glances of the people..."

"Yes, me too..." Mika replied in a mutter.

As they are walking on the front hall, Erina stops as they noticed a commotion in the next room on the cafeteria. "Oh, this looks interesting." She muttered to herself before walking inside the cafeteria.

"Hm?" Cera just tilts her head before following. The other two quickly coming along.

As they got to large cafeteria, they can see many people gathered around on one spot. Erina just simply smirks and put her hands on the shoulders of those on the back, pulling them away.

"What do you..... eeeek!?" The guy tries to argue, before quickly taking a step back as he gets a full view of her confident smirk. The others seems to have noticed as they turn around, before letting out a panicked yelp as they recognized her.

Cera looks at the people around while the two just stops at the back of the crowd, still gazing but not wanting to get within the gathering.

"Hello, this one is Cera Celestia Planetos. Nice to meet you all~" Cera tries to talk to the others while giving them some curtsies, though she is being totally ignored. With some taking a glance and then snorting as they turn their attention back to the commotion.

Feeling that it felt a bit embarrassing to watch, Helen grabs the Creator's wrist and pulled her away from the crowd.

"What is it?" Cera asked in curiosity.

"Just.... stay still okay and let's wait for her." She said.

Cera tilts her head, not knowing why she is being stopped at greeting the people around her, but she still obliges. She is clueless about many things here so she will just trust what she is saying.

She looks at the commotion in the middle to see a wild looking teenage guy is talking to a handsome looking blonde guy sitting on the chair and he seems to be in the middle of his meal.

"Come on now, fight me! I want to know just how the Golden Prince can fare against my blade!" The wild looking guy said while glaring at him with a large grin on his face.

The handsome guy seems to be unconcerned as he continues his meal, moving his hands slowly and elegantly and then putting the piece of steak in his mouth.

"Hey, I'm talking to you!" The guy yelled at him.

"Shut up...." The blonde haired guy finally said with a sigh before turning his calm blue eyes at him. "Your ruining my breakfast." He simply said.

"Heh.... finally felt like fighting me?" The guy grinned.

"Huh? No way... I don't feel like it...." He said with a deadpan look.

The crowd gasps when in a blink of an eye, the tip of the wild man's sword is pointed at the blonde haired guy inches to his face.

"You getting sissy, pretty boy?" He mocks while glaring down at him.

Cera feels a bit concerned at the escalation though she turns to her friends, then seeing them talking about them with amazement and surprise.

"That's the fourth prince, Grian Merkshire Elkbright! The one known as the Golden Prince due to his mastery over the Light element! I heard he is staying at the platinum dorms!" Helen exclaims.

"A-and.... that one.... isn't that Velk Ultinix? He is well-known from the title the Wild Blade from the Northern Plains. I didn't thought he is this young, but that sinister looking sword is very familiar!" Mika followed to the side.

"Hm?" Cera doesn't know what they are talking about. She turns her attention back to the two as she saw Erina finally getting closer to them.

"Such an interesting lineup we have here." She said with a confident smirk.

"Hah?" The one revealed as Velk turns to her sharply, before his eyes glinted in recognition. "Oh, ain't I lucky? One of the eight gems is here attending this school!" He said with a lick of his lips.

"Velk Ultinix. I heard about you. The young mercenary who wields two magical blades. I heard your at least B Rank when it comes to strength, and at that age too? Are you interested in serving me?" Erina shot back with a smirk.

"Hah! Tough luck gem girl, I ain't no bitch!" He grinned at her.

"Your lost then..." Erina shrugs before turning her gaze to the sitting handsome man. "And, you must be the Golden Prince everyone is talking about. I can say you are quite attractive, though that's all about it." Erina stated with a smirk.

"You sure have a large head on your shoulders...." Grian said with a tired tone. "Do you like flaunting yourself at the crowd, because it makes me sick...." He said with a sigh.

"Well, I am superior than the two of you after all." She said rather confidently.

"Tsk tsk.... so early in the morning and these flies kept buzzing noisily!"

All the people turns their attention at the new arrival, multiple gasps are being heard as they recognize the girl. She is a woman with a grayish hair and wearing a cottony blue dress that seems to cover most of her body.

"Winter Princess, Syalu Avernicia." Cera heard Mika mutters under her breathe.

"Another gem of our generation is here...." She heard Helen mutter on her other side.

Erina smirks as she looks at the new arrival. "Oh, isn't that my fellow gem. Oh my oh my... I didn't thought I will find a lot of interesting people in this school~" She said with a smirk.

"Spare the self praises, peasant! Your position as one of the gems is just a fluke! Only the Golden Prince here is the respectable one!" Syalu stated rather arrogantly as she stands besides the Golden Prince. "I would suggest leaving this place and letting us the privileged converse as is natural!"

".... Get out. Your no different than them...." Grian shot back at the Winter Princess.

"Oh, what is this? Did you just get rejected?" Erina smirks at the gray haired girl.

The gray haired girl glared at her for a brief moment, before closing her eyes and taking a heavy exhale. "Hmph, you seem to have a death wish, you whore!" She said rather sharply as she glances dangerously at Erina.

"Oh, you want death wish? Why don't you try my blade?" Velk pipes up with a grin.

"Silence, you mutt!" Syalu glared at the swordsman.

"Try me, little princess!" He shot back with a grin.

"Haaaaa..... maybe I should really smack some sense to you all so you stop bothering me...." The Golden Prince said with a sigh.

Erina grins at that seeing that the three are properly riled up. "Nice.... I am also itching to test just how you three will fare against me." She said.

"Heh! Your lousy spells won't hit me, gem girl!" Velk said before continuing. "Let's do this on the courtyard!" He said.

"Hmph! I'll make quick work of these peasants!" She said before returning her gaze at Grian. "Be sure to witness the elegance of a true gem like me!"

"I don't care.... let's just get this done already...." Grian said tiredly.

Erina nodded at that. "Great... well, before we do that, why don't we add another contestant?" The three gazes at her with varying forms of confusion. She didn't mind as she turns to Cera's direction, gesturing for her to come closer.

All the crowd around turns to them, causing Cera to point at herself. "Me?" She asks, and with Erina's smirk, she nodded. "Okay.... what is it?" She asks as she comes closer to them.

"Who's this brat?" Velk asks while gauging her with his eyes.

"This.... just an interesting roommate that I have." Erina admitted casually with a shrug of her shoulders.

"Roommate.... ugh, how vulgar. Staying at the lower dorms?" Syalu said while looking down at Cera.

"That's why your so ignorant, Winter Princess. You should try and mingle with the public sometimes. You'll learn more about the world." Erina said with a smirk, and she ignored the glare that Syalu directed at her and continues on introducing Cera to them. "This one is Cera Celestia Planetos. She have a rather interesting name, and I think she is pretty talented. I want to fight her too!" She said.

"Huh.... eh? Fight me?" Cera widened her eyes in surprised at that.

"Oho.... if you got her eye, then that means your pretty good!" Velk said while glaring at her way hungrily.

"Hmph.... doesn't matter. She will just be a warmup for me..." Grian muttered.

"Eh..... Eeeeeeehhhhhhh????????" Cera can only mouth out her confusion to that room.
