After a gruesome week of waiting.
The prestigious Alzahid Academy will start its classes today.
"What's your opinion on this?" I asked this unknown excited student on the campus near the Building Hall.
As I gazed at him.
I concluded that he was probably a commoner, according to the clothes he wore.
"I'm really excited about the prospect of studying in this renowned academy and the things I will learn from my professors."
He begrudgingly said to me.
"Though I hope that I will pass the final examinations to truly be accepted in this beautiful school."
As he answered me.
"I see, thank you for your answer, sir" as I thanked him respectfully for the response he had.
Though, it's not enough.
"It's- a generic answer I guess."
I pondered in the back of my head as I gazed at him leaving at my questioning grasp.
I've questioned many students and this one was one of the most common answers to the questions I used aside from wanting to become stronger, some random answers and just straight-up ignored me.
"It's really- tiring to make a headline in the Journalism Department as many people have the same idea as me."
As I walked in different places on the campus; the big opening entrance in front of the school, the packed gymnasium, the huge training room where many people trained, the different department buildings that signify their perspective majors and many more to find a good freaking scoop that will enable me to boost my fame in this Academy.
As a journalist.
And when I'm wandering through this enormous campus, hoping that I will see something.
I suddenly noticed a particular famous person in the Empire who was walking outside the Cafeteria and a genius swordsman-in-training from the Knight of Augustus.
The daughter of Marquis Fredo, Zuriel Althea Poenix.
She's really beautiful up close and according to some numerous rumors.
Many noble boys are infatuated with her and some even try to talk to their father about engagement but are rejected.
Even in the confirmed registration that she had in this academy.
And when that information became known, many boys became excited to the anticipation of knowing her and maybe- make her fall in love with them.
But I guess those rumors- are really underestimating her beauty.
I can tell that as I gazed at her.
She's unreasonably gorgeous to the point that I questioned myself if I was a girl.
And I notice something--
She's side to side with who?
"Who...is that?" As I immediately clicked the camera.
While she's talking with that man happily as if they are close friends or more.
Though the man looked kind of strikingly handsome, he seemed to be like a commoner.
Due to the worn shoes and white clothes that he wore.
This is a huge scoop. I said excitedly when I took a picture again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This draining week of waiting without doing anything is kind of tiring even for me, The Heavenly Demon.
So I just explored this Academy by running to many places that are unfamiliar to me.
It's served as a good exercise as I improve my stamina and also, explore in this enormous academy.
However, the training hall is still not available so I can't train.
I used my stiff body to train myself and to make this body much smoother when I was fighting using my sword.
And to lessen my fatigue due to much improved muscles in my body.
Nonetheless, I also see some types of machinery that are similar to the things that I've seen before but not as freakishly huge as the things that I saw on my first day in this world.
For example, that box metal takes people up and down in the buildings with just some sort of buttons. I don't know what it's called.
"What's...that?" I said.
Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
Those large boxes that produce sounds scattered all around the academy are called speakers when I ask the students.
And this strange delicious bread that I eat in the Cafeteria- called by the name muffin.
A sweet, exquisite and tasty bread for someone who likes sweets.
But too sweet for someone like me who loves sour food but I still eat regardless, just for the experience.
After I finished my eating session, I got up from my seat.
Though I have a few more pieces of this muffin as I put it in this some sort of unknown material bag and carried it.
And when I was almost out of the Cafeteria, I heard a familiar noise from the distance.
"Daleee!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zuriel sighed at the sight of countless people in front of the Academy as she was in her family's car.
It almost blocked the entrance of the Academy.
Especially in the Commoner's section due to how crowded it was that there was almost no space for even a child.
It's like a scene of a sardine in a can through the book that she loved to read before, the scene is that they almost died due to how overfilled the place they lived in.
Though the characters are sardines, the situation of that story and these scenes before my eyes is the same.
As she thought of the people in the Commoner Section, a certain person suddenly popped out of her mind- Dale, who saved her from that deadly assassination.
"I'm worried- about him but it's for the best."
She seriously muttered when she remembered the reasons for suddenly separating with him to enter this Academy.
Being with him, entering the prestigious school for the first time will- subject him to bad attention because of me.
As many people will keep an eye on him that may cause some problems in his education at this Academy.
However, she thinks that it's kind of nothing for him as he killed those assassins without batting an eye, though it will be annoying for him.
After remembering that thought, she got up from the car seat and walked out of the car.
Immediately, flashes of the light from the camera suddenly surrounded her and many questions were thrown at her.
"Are you excited about- this school year? Miss Zuriel?"
Asked by the hurrying reporter.
"Do you have any alliance or any organizations that you look forward to joining?" asked the other one.
"No comment," she pragmatically said.
She entered the Academy in a straight way.
She blatantly ignores the bright flashes of the camera and goes straight to the Noble's Section nameplate guard who has an all brightly smiling expression towards her.
"This is my nameplate sir."
She handed the nameplate to the guard who checked its authenticity and if there was no problem with the nameplate.
As he answered fast.
"You are approved, Miss Zuriel."
He said as he gazed at her with a tinge of something that she was disgusted with.
"Well, that's easy."
She said as she expected something more from entering this academy.
But these guards are quite lax in examining the nobles compared to those pitiful commoners.
"Hello Miss Zuriel, my name is --"
"Hello Miss Zuriel, may I have the honor to know---"
"Hi, I'm Daniel---"
Zuriel goes straight without pretexts to the academy after ignoring many people who take the initiative to know her because these people are just after her beauty or standing in the nobility.
"Dale's not the kind of guy, as I remembered him bleeding in his face but still, bravely saved my ass in that haunting situation."
As she walked inside of the Academy.
She first comes to the Registration Hall to register herself.
"Zuriel Althea Poenix. You're registered now. Please come to your assigned room in the Building Hall. Your room is 200.
You can bring your things to your room and you can ask the Service Department if you need help or have any questions."
As she goes to her room, she unpacks her luggage.
And wore some casual outfits like simple jeans and a blue shirt which is, by the way, her favorite color because it's the same as her eyes.
But this time, she travels again in the academy.
She goes to famous parts of the world-renowned place.
The enormous training hall is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, and a huge gymnasium that this academy is proud of. And the massive department buildings that are almost a skyscraper.
After she got tired of exploring.
Zuriel suddenly sensed the despairing hunger that entrailed her as she went to one of the most renowned food places on the continent and the one of places she was most excited about in this Academy.
The Cafeteria of Alzahid Academy offers a vast amount of delicious food.
And it's also a well-known place to be as a gourmet place in the world due to how delicious the food here is.
Only fresh foods are used in cooking in this cafeteria, leading to a delicious meal that will motivate and help the students in their studying.
However, to order one of the dishes. You must line up early.
Zuriel knowing this lines up immediately to the pastry hall.
Where in this day, their bestseller pastries are being sold.
The Candymoo Muffins are the one of most bought pastries in this Cafeteria.
This pastry feels like a composed succulent symphony of flavors that comes from high-class raw materials such as the high-class milk of a Minotaur, flour from the Drega Dutchy and sugar from plums in the Badis Region which gives that deep flavor of refined sweetness in the pastry that adds to the deliciousness of the food.
And one thing, she likes sweets.
And she can't wait to taste this highly acclaimed food as she lined up for the muffins.
However, she suddenly noticed a man with white hair and red eyes walking from the table to the exit of the cafeteria holding some bag of unknown things.
"Maybe- food? I don't know."
She blinked her eyes and told herself.
"It's...Dale isn't it?" She said enthusiastically.
"Daleee!!" She shouted in a loud way.
She shouted so loud that people suddenly looked at her- even if people saw her as a lunatic.
She didn't care about it she was just happy to see him again.
Her Benefactor and Savior.
And as he looked at her too, shocked at the loud sound that came from her as he walked over.
