Case 28: Trolling at the academy.
Case 28: Trolling at the academy.
Today, I am more excited than usual. Probably because I've never been to a high school or a college before.
Even in this life, I am a princess, and I have private tutors to teach me instead of going to an educational institution. This is pretty much the case for every high elf.
So this will be the first time I officially 'attend' a college, well, academy. I'm not really sure what it is, they accept people from the age of 16 all the way to 25, as long as they have talent.
The full name of the institution is 'Aragon Academy', or AA, or A square, that's what I like to call it.
Anyway, A square is located near the Crimson Palace, which is not surprising. The point is, I can just fly there, it's pretty convenient.
But first, we have to wear the uniform. Right now, the three of us are waiting in our room for the maid to bring the clothes here. I wonder what it would look like.
knock knock
''Come in.''
The door opens with a clack, and immediately, I can see the full red pile of fabric on the maid's hand.
''...Let me see the uniform.'' I speak up.
"Understood.'' The maid puts down the pile on the table and picks up one of the shirts and one of the skirts for us to see.
''...''
What.
Blood red shirt, blood red skirt, and did I see the blazer over there is also red?
Those damn egotistical Imperial Family, are you all blind?? Who the hell would wear this?
I mean, in their defense, there are still some touches of other colors, but it's all red?!
Even if I am an absolute donkey at fashion, I still refuse to wear that garbage. I'd rather wear shorts and a T-shirt. No, I WILL wear shorts and a T-shirt, just to show them that I don't like their uniform.
''Is wearing that uniform mandatory?'' I ask.
''Yes, Your Highness, they say that every student has to wear this for discipline purpose.'' The maid replies.
''Great, I'll wear something else. How about you two?'' I turn to my girlfriends, both of them looking at the uniform in disgust.
''Me too.''
''Me three.''
''That's decided, then. Take out my blue T-shirt and shorts for me, please.'' I order the maid.
''...Understood.''
In the end, I decided to go for the same clothes I wore when we went on a date the first time. White shorts with white thigh-length socks, and an oversized blue T-shirt, this time I don't need a scarf anymore, as I restricted any biting or sucking on my collar and neck. Progress.
Emy is wearing her usual black shorts and white shirt, exposing her long and full legs. Liana decided to match me, but instead of a light blue T-shirt, hers is green.
Now we're good to go.
''Fly?'' I ask.
'''' Fly. ''''
''Alright.''
I have seen the map before, I should know where the academy is.
After three minutes of flying, we arrived in front of the academy, more specifically, around 100m away from the big red gate with the Empire's flags on top.
I can already see crowds of people wearing the red uniform going through the gate, they're... Very different from each other, I'd say. The AA is basically the best institution in the world, in terms of teaching quality. So naturally a lot of people from all over the world came here to learn. Except the humans from other countries for obvious reasons.
And that includes other races as well, I can see a group of short people with large builds over there, probably dwarves. And then there's a girl over there with a lizard tail? Lizardmen I guess? That can't be a dragon girl, because dragons won't do half-ass polymorph like that.
Of course, there have to be other animals as well, wolf ears over there, oh, do I see a crow? Black wings are crows, right?
Hmmm, where is it, AH! There we go, a cat girl, she's even an orange one, woah... I've always wanted to see one.
...We got quite a lot of attention, though, elves are pretty rare even in here, and we're wearing random clothes as well, combined with our faces...
Anyway, according to the information Dad told me, the academy is not just composed of one or two buildings like normal schools, it's more like a mini city. Inside, one can find all kinds of facilities: a library, restaurants, cafes, gyms, parks,... All are sponsored by the monarchy. Apparently, there was a brief period when Dad came here to work as a professor before, that's why he knew so much.
And of course, there are quite a number of interesting buildings unique to this institution, I'm not sure about the details, though.
For now, let's just go in.
''Let's go.''
Walking through the gate, we got even more gazes from the students here, a lot of them whispering to each other.
...Maybe I shouldn't have worn this, or not, I don't really care.
''We need to find the headmaster first.'' I tell my girlfriends.
The headmaster is allegedly a pretty strong master, we have to meet them first to decide our schedule.
''Hmm, maybe ask someone?'' Liana suggests.
''Sure, let me find a friendly-looking person.'' I reply.
Then, I see a familiar face in the corner of my eyes.
''Oh, is that Christina?''
She is now walking with a bunch of girls surrounding her, and they talk nonstop. She is popular, huh. All of the girls look like nobles, too.
''Let's go ask her.'' I say.
''Sure.''
Approaching Christina, who is smiling while talking to the girls, we eventually get her attention.
''Hi, Christina.'' I call, waving my hand.
All of them turn their head to us, and they seem stunned, probably because of our appearances. Christina widens her smile.
''Sylvia! We met again.''
''Yeah, I didn't know you were this popular.''
''Oh, it's embarrassing to say it, but quite a number of ladies are pursuing me.'' Christina replies, glancing at the girls, who still look stunned.
''But don't worry, Sylvia, you're the only one for me.'' Christina grabs my hand and does a kiss on the back of it, like a gentleman.
''My, how reassuring.'' I play along with her, why not.
The girls snap out of their little daydreams, apparently enraged by how Christina treats me, veins appearing on their foreheads.
''H-Hmm~ How incredible, a girl I've never seen before made Her Highness fall... May I ask, who might you be?'' One of the girls, a blonde asks me, her tone polite, but her eyes can seriously kill.
''Ah, us three are transfer students, we're new here, so let's get along~'' I reply cheerfully.
''Sure, but as you can see, we are currently going to our class with Her Highness, so if you can excuse us, we have to go.'' The blonde tries to get away, but you met the wrong person, girl, I will end your whole career here.
I purposefully ignore their intention to shoo me away, pretending like I'm just a clueless girl. ''My, please wait for a second, we need to go to the headmaster's office right now, but we don't know the way, so... Could I borrow your princess for a while, miss?''
Even more veins start to appear on their foreheads, I can hear Liana and Emy chuckling behind me already, this is so fun. Life at the academy might be better than I thought.
''...It looks like you still don't understand our warning, girl, I'm asking for you not to interfer-''
''Sure thing, Sylvia, there's quite some time until class anyway, let me personally guide you, my dear princess.'' Christina interrupts the blonde and grabs my hand.
Turning back, she says: ''Sorry girls, could you all go to class without me?''
''...U-Understood, Your Highness.'' The blonde replies, barely keeping her composure.
And then all of them go away with frustrated steps, Liana and Emy still laughing. Yep, mission complete.
''You're quite mean, Sylvia.'' Christina smiles mischievously.
''Well? I just wanted to tease them a little bit. Besides, it's not like you were lying, no?'' I shrug.
''Heheh, you are right, my feelings for you are 100% true.''
''I'm glad.'' I nod. ''Well then, can I ask you to guide me to the headmaster's room?''
''Anytime, Sylvia.''
Christina led us through several buildings and a park, then we arrived at 5 stories building, it looked quite modern if you ask me. Apparently, this is the building for professors and staff, as well as the headmaster.
Going from floor one to five, a lot of people looked at us curiously, some of them knew Christina as well.
Now finally, we got to a room at the end of the hallway, there's a sign that read 'Headmaster's room'.
It's time to decide our schedule.
