Miss Laria can we please walk faster,” Fren said. He was bothered by all the people who keep staring at them.
“W-we a-already near,” said Laria as she pointing at the luxurious looking two storey building.
“Hmm… What is this? Why a kid here, Miss Laria?” asked a boy who just came out from the dorm building. He has really sharp teeth with five gills slit on his neck. In both of his arm have fins and his skin weirdly pure white. From just observation, the boy easily being recognized from the shark race. One of the rare race that almost extinct.
Actually, most undersea creature was extinct because of something unknown happened thousands of years ago. If not because of it, the undersea which call Blue Crystal Underworld maybe the largest place like some kind of another realm which even if the countries in the land combine, it cannot compete on the space capacity in the underworld.
Some mutate race who live in the land so they did not harm from it and only a few manage to survive but still hidden. From the legends it causes by unknown strong poison killing a lot of underworld race, some told it was a natural disaster or there also a rumors undersea races were annihilated by the powerful hidden Sage or the Ancient (the leader of Guardian Group). Till now the reason the Blue Crystal Underworld was destroyed unknown.
“B-both of t-this are n-new student that j-just transfer t-today,” Laria still stuttering.
“Ehh.. This is the dorm for the male council members of Middle Academy and Upper Academy. Why they suddenly stay here?” the shark boy questioned.
“V-vice Principal V-Velga give t-the s-special privilege. P-Please take a g-good c-care them,” said Laria before walked away.
“Ahh.. Weird why we need to take care of a kid. Even royalty did not have any special privilege or whatever” the boy nagging unhappily.
“I am not a kid! I am already 8.” Fren protested.
“Really? Are you sure?” the boy really did not seem trust Fren then he looked at Elone wanting the conviction. Elone nodded.
“Yes! And I will enter Middle Department tomorrow.” Fren said which seem like a small kid proudly announce his achievement to their parents.
“Huh! You what?!!!” the boy totally shocked.
“Hey. Why are you shouting outside, Miguel.” said an older bird boy around 17 years old who come out from the house.
“Ahhh… Sorry. Let us come in first.” said Miguel after that as they went inside.“Nazhi, this emm.. our new dorm mate?”
“Eh. I do not hear that we have new members. Eh, wait… Why there a small kid here? Although he or she was adorable, I still do not want to babysit a kid” Nazhi, the older boy answered. Fren totally depressed. Wondering why he was small, all the others still grow normal although they in a different race.
“No, they are not one of the council students. They are the new students that have special privilege from Vice Principal and I also do not know why. By the way, this small kid already 8 and he was a new Middle student.” said Miguel. Elone totally being ignored and invisible behind.

Nazhi nodded and keep staring before asking. “Okay, I am quite curious. Are you she or he?”
“I am he! Ahhh… I hate myself..” Fren said in despair. Why must his gender also unrecognizable? Previous world maybe a girl but now he was a boy. Boy mean boy! Although, he think he will not interested in girl hmm, he also not have any feeling toward the boy.
“Oh. Sorry.. Nice to meet you. My name is Nazhi Etrema from Sky Country. The secretary of this Royal Vasoria Academy. I am Upper student, 18 years old.” Nazhi introduced himself.
“I am Miguel Dason, second son of Viscount Halen Dason from Daruis Territory. 13 years old and just a normal member of the council. Pleasant to meet you guys. I know most of royalty and nobles around Starlight Country but never see any of you,” said Miguel.
“I am not one of royalty and nobles. My name is Elone Night, 10 years old. I study here only to watch over Fren,” Elone said calmly.
“Huh? Watch over?” asked Miguel as both of him and Nazhi switches their gaze toward Fren and nodded understanding.
“I do not need it! (Sigh). My name is Maren Akito Mist.” Fren caused both Miguel and Nazhi startled just by introduced his name.
“Now I know why… I never thought I will ever see the rumor ‘Shielded Prince of the Mist’, the son of ‘Black Cold Killer’ or legendary Mage ‘Dark Reaper’ and the powerful women “Goddess Dark Mage of the Mist”. You really look harmless!! I am quite disappointed” Miguel said. Fren glared at him.
“He was adorable and has a look as one that needs to be protected, that might be why he usually protected.” Nazhi gave his own conclusion.
‘Never judge by appearance’ Elone mumbled alone.
“The other five council members still have work to do and one special case student still has his class. Tonight they will be here. Where both of your luggage? This is your room” Nazhi show the second-floor empty room.
“Inside my storage ring,” Fren answered him. Nazhi nodded understanding.
“Call me if you need anything, I will be inside my room. I did not go anywhere today.” Nazhi said as he entered his own room on the left side.
“Thank you” said both Fren and Elone.
Fren and Elone entered their room. It was beautiful with grandiose cravings. It also fully decorated and painted in light blue. As expected a high-class people Elone though in his mind. Fren totally glads he finally arrived at his room. He did not yet start his classes but already exhausted mentally.
-Fren~ Fren~(singing Fren name and giggles)-
‘What?’
-Ouch, do not like that.(giggles) I will not disturb you for few weeks or months. I think you will miss me~-
“Huh?” ‘Opps I accidentally speak loud. It is not like I care about you but why?’
-Guess what~-
‘Fine. If you do not want to tell me, whatever.’
-So cruel~ But I will tell you~~ The REASON is to………...……(dramatic voice) ....… sleep~ Night, Fren!(giggles)-
“What?” Fren sweatdrop and deadpanned.
“Are you okay, Fren?” Elone asked wondering why Fren kept making a strange expression.
“Nothing” with a paused gazing at a pile of clothes, books, and others that he removed from his storage ring. “I hate this. Why do I need to do all this? Why there is no maids or servants help us here?” Fren grumbled.
“Elone, did you see any of the teacher status or Miguel or Nazhi?” Fren questioned trying to distract himself while putting and tidying his things inside the room.
“I only peek at Miss Laria and Vice Principal Velga. Miss Laria status was weird with a lot of magical item. I tried a few times then, I realized she was a puppet or something like that.” Elone said as he shows Vice Principal status.

“Eh? Puppet?” asked Fren curiously. He read about it in an old book about a lost forbidden magic circle use to create a puppet by using people or animals. But, nobody ever does that since the law already forbids anyone on using it 120 years ago.
“Yes. Maybe,” said Elone while watching Fren before asking.
“How much longer you will finish yours?”
“Ahh!! I never did this before! Help me please.” said Fren frustrated since he never done any housework in both worlds.
“Okay. It really bothersome to see you struggling just to arrange your clothes” said Elone chuckled a bit and help Fren showing the right way arrange his things.
Fren glared at Elone. ‘Why Elone cannot just help him from the first place if he knows I was in trouble?'
Somewhere inside Fren mind.
“When will you awake?” Frina speaks to a certain figure who was chained and looked asleep.
“No matter how fun to teasing him. He still not you, right?” Frina smiled sadly. “Ahh.. I never thought I just use so much of my energy. I will visit you next time” Frina slowly became invisible and vanished. Unknown by her the chained cracked a bit.
