Chapter 2

I woke up to a knock on my door. I ignored it. I need more sleep.

"Meliora, get up quickly. It's our first day today." Avalie shouted loudly outside.

"Five more minutes, Ava." I groaned.

"What five more minutes?!" Get up there! "We're going to eat." She shouted as she slammed the door.

I don't have a choice then. I got up and fixed my bed.

I did my usual routine and wore the uniform . It is an above the knee pleated skirt which is blue, a white long sleeve, a blue coat , and white high socks. Cool.

I know the uniform depends on which class you belong to. For instance, blue, of course, for the higher class. Sadly, I don't know the rest yet, but I will see later.

While going down the stairs, I saw Avalie twitching in front of the mirror. really weird.

"Ava, let's go! were going to be late." I said while brushing my hair. I checked my appearance once again when she suddenly talked.

"Holy mother!" she exclaimed. "You look like a freakin' goddess, Meli," she said while drooling. Kidding aside

"Don't flatter me, Ava, but you're beautiful too." I said, smiling.

Of course, this is correct.

"Nevermind, let's go." she said, laughing while clinging to my arms.

While exiting the hallway, many eyes were looking at us and they were gossiping, which we clearly heard. It was not gossip anymore, they talked way too loudly.

"Who are they? "New faces?"

"Maybe, but they are in a higher class." How lucky! "

Avalie seems not to be bothered. It seems that she is even more used to me being praised. We just walked casually without talking.

When I spotted a cafeteria, my tummy began to growl. Oh god! I'm hungry. "Let's eat in the cafeteria, Ava." I suggested

"Aye aye captain!" she replied while saluting.

I laughed. I never thought I would have a friend like her. To be honest, I had a friend before, but unfortunately, they moved and we never saw each other again.

When we entered the cafeteria, everyone became silent. Another set of eyes turned towards us. Do they know the word mind your own business?

We just ignored it and chose something to eat. We were still finding a place to sit and we spotted a seat away from other people. We instantly walked towards it.

"Ava", I called her.

"Yes, Meli?" She stated that she was still chewing.Tsk

"Do you know the exact classes of those students with green and red uniforms?"

She swallowed all her food. "Yes, why? You don't know? "

I just nodded.

"All right, green's for beginner class, those students who can't control their powers yet; red's for middle class, those students who can control their powers but are not that strong; blue's for higher class, those students who are skilled in using their powers, mostly those students who have been staying here for several years. And of course, black for elites, students who can fully control their power to the fullest,"she explained at length.

Elites? I never heard that before. I don't see anyone wearing a black uniform here either.

I just nodded at her. When suddenly, a bell rang. Time for class.

"Let's go!" I said. We immediately got up and walked to the exit of the cafeteria. When we got out of the cafeteria, there was almost no one left in the hallway.

That was fast.

Avalie seemed to know a lot about the academy; she held my hand and led the way. It's up to her where we're going because I don't know; thus, we walked faster than we could!

Avalie informed me, "Higher class was on the fifth floor."

My eyes widened. I didn't know that the room for higher class was on the fifth floor. When we arrived, she immediately knocked on the door, and a woman suddenly opened it.

She plastered a smile. "New student?" She asked.

"Yes, po miss." Avalie replied. I just remained silent at the back.

"Okay, come in and introduce yourself at the front. You can call me Miss Johnson. " She said, still smiling.

Avalie comes in first. " Hi, Avalie, an air mage." she said, waving her hand.

One of the students stands up. "It's been a long time since I've seen you," he said.I looked at her confused. Did she know these people?

"Drake, until now you were still noisy," she responded while laughing.

Positively, they know each other. She sat in the back, and I noticed that some students approached her.Shocks

I slowly entered and stopped in front of I swallowed hard.

"Hi, I'm Meliora Ice Mage." I simply said with a small smile.

I scan the whole room. More or less, there are thirty students here, including us. Not bad for a higher class. I sat beside Avalie.

I looked at her confused . I want to ask her how she knew these people. But she just smiled.

Miss Johnson spoke. "Okay class, for your information, I am Miss Johnson, a plant mage and your history teacher.Now be ready to listen to me. Attention please!"

It caught my attention. I don't know what kind of history they told the people. I looked at Avalie and the others and boredom was written on their faces.

Indeed, it is given. They know the history, definitely.

"The Sylverian world is composed of sorcerers and mages just like us." Miss Johnson's started.

Wait, did she say sorcerers and mages? How about dragons, mermaids, centaurs, pixies, fairies, etc.? They didn't know about it? This history seems interesting.

"Several years ago, the sorcerers and mages lived happily. There was no conflict, no envy, no complacency. Everything was at peace. Not until the Princess was born. "

Everyone became silent. What about the princess?

"The sorcerers believed that the first princess that was born would become the world's destruction. But of course, the people did not believe them. Sorcerers have the power to see the future. That is why they want people to believe in them. With this situation, everything seems chaotic, including the mythical creatures like dragons, mermaids, and pixies.

I glanced at everyone. Their faces were priceless. Some were gaping; others couldn't believe it; others were listening intently.

Don't they know anything about dragons and mermaids?

It makes sense why they were attentive now.

One of my classmates raised her hand. "Excuse me, Miss Johnson, after studying here for so long, why did we only now learn about mythical creatures?" She looked confused.

"Is it forbidden? If you're wondering why?I don't know. But let me finish the story, students. "

"They did everything to make people believe in them. Sadly, they succeeded. They created a havoc between the Sorcerers and Mages. The palace people especially the king and queen did everything to protect the princess. The princess was their only child and they cannot bear to lose her. But, because of this war the Queen died protecting her child and the sorcerers successfully abducted the princess. The princess was still a baby at that time."

I can see the sad faces of everyone. Does it mean that they just found out about it? It doesn't make sense. It should have been announced to the people then.

"The king was depressed; his wife and his daughter were gone. It was his greatest downfall. Not until Miss Selena, our headmistress, ran towards the palace with a baby in her arms and that was the princess. To make it short, the princess returned to the palace with the help of our headmistress, and the King made her the ruler of this school. He trusted Miss Selena to protect us, just like how she protected the princess before. " Miss Johnson finished it with a smile plastered on her face.

"Oh before I forgot, when the princess disappeared, it was also the disappearance of the mythical creatures. Until now, they still don't know the reason why. " She added

So the princess returns? Good for them.

Everyone had their own reactions. Some said that the princess was so pitiful before. Some said that explains why the elite protected her all the time. But one question bothered me this time. Where are the other sorcerers? Are they all gone? Did they hide?

"So class, protect our princess at all cost. Because the palace still believes that some sorcerers are still after her. That is why the elite are always around with her, "she continued.

So they are still alive and are after her. Interesting. I did not know that there were some elites that protected her.

"As a higher class in Tamora Academy, your untimate mission is to protect our princess, Princess Kara." Miss Johnson said as she looked at each of us.

Princess Kara?
