'This is very lively' the boy thought to himself.
Before him was the grand academy , Fortuna Estori's main building itself all in its glory.
A rge fountain was in the middle and the greenery was maintained all across. Poles hung at regur intervals so they could give light at night. This pce's regality and majesty was matched by none and many students who were also new to the academy stood standing there taking the grandiose of the academy.
The seniors and some staffs were seen here and there trying to guide the new students and cleaning their queries.
The boy , Aurelian also stood standing there appreciating the academy's beauty. He only came a day earlier to his room and didn't really had the chance to tour the academy before hand. Photos of it online were few as only some people were allowed to enter it in the first pce and seeing it with both eyes were more impactful than staring at some static pictures.
Hands on his pockets , Aurelian strolled along the path that led to the building of the academy , taking turns and checking the mini map on his hands he had gotten when he arrived at his complex.
He wore a dark blue uniform that the first year wore. He didnt wear a cloak as the cloak helped distinguish the knights from the mages. This made him stand apart as most of the first years were seen wearing cloaks and for that he got many stares as well. Even among the few scattered knights he got the most stares as his scars attracted a lot of attention.
Along his way , he stood here and there staring at things. As he came from a part of the world alien to this one , he was very mesmerised and couldn't help to stare at statues , the different buildings and so on.
He didnt come early nor te either to the academy but due to him spending time strolling along the academy , it was quite obvious he was getting te and decided to get to his cssroom which was quite far away.
After five minutes of walking , he finally reached a massive door that was closed. It was the door that led to his cssroom.
Thirty minutes prior-
The cssroom was painted in red and banners hung across corners. It was levelled and had stairs leading to the top. There were three columns with benches with students sitting on them and arranging their books for the day.At the back of the cssroom there was some shelves of books. Pnt vases were there for decoration. The cssroom was also air conditioned. It was no doubt this cssroom was one of a kind and was maintained perfectly.
This was an also a special cssroom as it was in direct view to the ke of Fortuna that was in the school premise. Getting that window seat would of course be a priority for some.
Staring at the ke , Aryana sat at the st row bnkly not knowing what to do. She had arrived early to the academy just for the sake of it and now was bored. She then looked at her bench mate who more busy looking at her socials than talking to her childhood friend who she had studied along these years with.
"Daphne" She said , her left hand on her cheek clearly indicating she was bored.
"Hmm. What is it" Daphne asked , her attention not withering away from her phone.
"Im bored."
"If you're bored why don't you just sleep?"
"What?Are you serious right now."
There was no answer from Daphne.
"Hey. Let's talk something Daphne" Aryana said nudging the shoulders of Daphne. Daphne didnt budge.
Sighing , Aryana went back to staring at the ke. Suddenly the noise in the cssroom died down. Cocking her eyebrows she decided to see what happened.
Everyone was staring at the girl looking here and there standing at the entrance.
It took sometime for Aryana to process who she was but once she did , she couldn't avoid her astonishment. It was obvious as the one who had come was the crown princess of the great commonwealth of Weiuria.
Weiuria was a rge country located at the south east continent of Ilknia. It was the dominant nation in the continent and its power both local and global wasn't something to be denied. In fact in terms of actual power it was among the top five countries in the world.
The royal family of Weiuria wasn't something to scoff at either. Primarily producing mages , its members were powerful on an individual power scale as well. The current head , Augustin Vesta was a tier 13 mage on par with many top guild leaders.
But many families produced mages and that wasn't special. What was special was that this particur family frequently produced mages with light affinity that could be called the most rarest affinity in the world.
Light affinity was unique as it helped in defence , offence, healing and support and so on. As long as one reached its pinnacle , they would be unstoppable and would be the incarnation of holiness itself. But its resources were scarce and few thus the off chance someone has it , chances are that they would be unable to pursue it.
But for Izabelle Vesta who was blessed with both the talent for light and the resources to facilitate it , it was not wonder she was someone to look into and be aware of.
Her white hair fell to her waist and her golden eyes shined brightly. Those pair of eyes was something one couldn't take their eye off. With a beautiful face that was otherworldly , it wasn't too much to say she was the epitome of feminine beauty.
After some time of deciding she went to the middle column and sat in a free bench which could accommodate three.
As soon as he sat , people started coming in one by one introducing themselves.
She wasn't too excited to talk to anyone not that she had no interest which she really didn't and also because she liked being alone better and didnt like to socialise.
Nevertheless it didn't stop people from talking to her especially those from noble backgrounds who wanted to curry favours with her.
Then again the room went silent as one more girl entered the cssroom.
This one had blond hair and green eyes and was as beautiful as Izabelle the difference being that she was taller than Izabelle. Also she had a unique feature which people couldn't stop staring at . Her ears, which were long indicating she was an elf.
Among all races , Elves were one of the rarest as they didnt procreate lot and mostly were concentrated on the north continent of Ilkonia which usually saw a lot of conflict due to the constant frictions between them and various races such as humans and dragons.
She wasn't an ordinary elf either, as she was a princess of the only elf country in the world , The empire of Freya which encompassed pretty the whole continent they were in.
To have two princess study at the same cssroom , was this fate or coincidence? Did the management decide the arrangement of the csses badly?
There were 100 students per each css for each grade in Fortuna Estori. There were four cssless in total for each grade. That made the number of students for each year to be around 400. There was no hierarchy among the four csses of a year, meaning that there was no disparity in the distribution of students per each css.
You could find some powerhouses in each css , some above averages, averages and mediocre students in all css. There have been no incident that , say , all the powerhouses of a single year or the majority of them have been concentrated in one particur css.
This princess was more affable than her human counterpart. The most interesting part about her was that she was an influencer and had hundreds of millions of followers on her socials. It wouldn't be a wrong thing to say that among all the young royals or nobles in the world , she would be the famous one.
Immediately people started flocking to her and in some time , Izabelle was left alone , making it hard to realise that around her tens of people had gathered just now. Izabelle sighed a relief and got back to organising her table and revising the schedule for the day.
Many entered the cssroom after that and soon the cssroom was becoming full with all seats being nearly occupied. Some interesting individuals came here and there but there were no were near the interest of Izabelle and Liriel , the elf princess.
Then again silence permeated the room. A beautiful girl then entered the cssroom. All though everyone thought she was normal aside from her breathtaking beauty , only some like Aryana knew her real identity. Aryana couldn't help but to help to think that she was still in a dream and school had not started yet. This girl Anastasia, was the daughter of one of the most influential trading guild in the world. Their net worth couldn't be estimated in simple terms and their power rivalled individuals countries across the world.
She knew this because she and Daphne for the fact came from influential trading families themselves and knowledge of the five most influential trading guilds is just common sense for them. These nobles and some commoners who had no knowledge of the power structure in this matter wouldn't know the identity of Anastasia. For them, Anastasia was more of a princess than the others.
By this time Daphne had gotten out of her phone and talking endlessly to Aryana about these stuffs. Daphne already let everyone in her friend group know through her socials that she was going to study with these powerhouses.
Then A powerful aura descended upon the pce. Although it wasn't that powerful , compared to the students here who were mostly in the early third and middle third tier and some even in the fourth tier , this was a step ahead.
A handsome guy with blue hair and blue eyes entered the cssroom and immediately got the attention of all the girls. Even Aryana who had seen her fair deal of handsome guys couldn't take her eyes off him. She had never seen a guy this handsome. From his aura , one can easily deduce he was a powerhouse and was most probably in the top ten ranks. His aura far surpassed Anasthasia , Izabelle , liriel.
He quietly without saying anything sat besides Anastasia as that was one of the only avaible seats left.
The cssroom was live and livid. A woman walked into the cssroom and made her way to the podium. Although she wasn't explicitly releasing her aura , taking in account how powerful she was compared to some first years , many found it difficult to stand their ground and immediately went to their seats. It was clear she was their homeroom teacher.
After taking the podium , she observed the cssroom for some time as if she was imprinting all the students images in her mind. She did notice one of the seats was empty in the back row and only 99 students had arrived in the cssroom. She was the one who took attendance and punctuality seriously and who would in their right mind come te to their first day?
Unless of course it was an accident , all students were required to live in dorms. It would take more than half an hour to walk to their academy.
Sighing , she addressed the students.
"Welcome to Fortuna Estori."
"As you would have all guessed , Im your homeroom teacher Katori Naomi. I would be in charge of all the affairs of this cssroom."
The students nodded among themselves. The boys were happy due to the fact they were getting a cute teacher instead of a grumpy old man.
"I don't think I need to give an introduction to the academy nor to its rules mentioned in the manual as you are expected to already have read it."
"This academy allows you freedom and the ability to think for your own. There are no abnormal or too strict rules. As long as you know your boundaries and behave yourselves , you will be good to go."
As Naomi always had a sunflower deposition and a sweet voice , her words got through the students easily.
"I won't be strict either as it's not really who Im. You can all just call me Naomi, I don't really mind. I would be friendly to all and would always be of help if you have some issues. Think of me as if Im your neighbourhood big sis instead of your teacher."
Hearing Naomi speak all these , the students sighed a relief. Who wouldn't kill to have this much of a friendly teacher? They would!
Her expression then got a littler serious.
"But then again just because Im friendly doesn't mean you can cross your boundaries here as well. As much you re expected to follow the rules such as coming on time and maintaining peace in academy times , this matter is just like that. If you wish to take advantage of my friendly nature , do know its outcomes."
Seeing if her words really got through , her smile then appeared on her face.
"So let me give an overview..."
Her words were cut short as a knock was heard on the door and it was opened. A boy came in and closed the door behind him.
There was silence for sometime before the boy at the door began to speak.
"I'm te aren't I? I was just caught up in seeing the academy , I didn't realise the passage of time"
