(Teki's POV)
We arrived at the academy, I got to say it's quite a lovely place. I go to the gate and I didn't realize that Tiara is not behind me and I looked back at Tiara and she's looked nervous.
"Hey, you alright?" I approached her and touch her forehead to check if she has a fever or not. She blushed so hard
"A-ah! I'm fine don't worry about it. I'm just nervous because I will start to stay in here and living out my dream." She said as she take a deep breath and exhale it
"Yosh! Let's go in Teki." She said while taking my hand and goes running to the academy
"W-wait Tiara slow down!" I said as she giggled and halfway to the academy entrance she slowed down. I looked around the front yard and when I looked up in the window I saw a girl with short blue hair and wearing glasses then she goes deep inside to her room. I don't know who is that but I will assume that she's someone important in the academy.
Inside Flora Girls Academy, Academy Lounge.
When we inside, we were introduced to the academy lounge which looks so beautiful and magical because there is a floating hourglass floating up in the air in the lounge. A woman came up to us.
"Welcome." The woman said to us
"Um, my name is Tiara." Tiara said and when I want to say my name and she immediately cut me off
"Please come this way." She said as she gestures her hand to the stairs
"Uh, I actually want to enroll..." Tiara said again but the woman immediately said the same thing again.
"Please come this way." Still pointing at the stairs
"Er..." Tiara looked at me and I give her a reassuring nod
"Okay..."
We go up to the stairs and follows the woman and she goes to a door and opens it and then we go inside and we were introduced by a blue-haired girl that I saw a while ago.
"Welcome to Flora Girls Academy. I'm the director, Chloe." She said behind her desk.
"Tiara, wasn't it?" She looked at Tiara
"Yes. I, er, I beg you." Tiara said as she put down her suitcase
"Please let me study in this academy-" Tiara continued as she bowed down and I was startled not knowing what to do. and she got cut off by Chloe
"I understand." Chloe said to Tiara which surprises me and Tiara
"Eh?" Tiara only could say that because she was so surprised
"I approve your enrollment." Chloe said as she smiled at Tiara. Just like that and she approve here and her gaze then goes to me
"And what are you doing here?" She asked me
"Um... I'm Tiara's-"
"He's a friend of mine and he's just want to make sure if I'm alright." Tiara said. I sighed relieved
"Well, if that so. Then, she's alright now you can leave Mr..."
"No need to use Mister and my name are Teki RinKen. Then I shall take my leave." I bowed to Chloe and when I was about to leave Tiara stopped me
"Um... Please stay here for a moment." She said to me and I decided to stay for a while. She's smiled at me and she goes back to Chloe
"Um... Is there no test, or..." Tiara asked Chloe. I was actually a little bit suspicious about it because she immediately approved before Tiara could show her something to be approved into the academy
"Hmm, that's true." Chloe said as she put her hand to her chin and think about something. Her gaze then focuses on a crystal at the far left of the room.
"Then, try touching that stone over there." Chloe gestures her hand to the crystal.
"It can allow you to ascertain your talent as a Witch." Chloe continued while Tiara goes to the crystal. She was hesitating to touch it and she looked at me, I said "You can do it!" Silently to her and she takes a deep breath and goes to touch it. The crystal started to glow
"Ah..." Tiara was surprised while I give her a thumbs up.
"This academy opens the door to all those who have a future." Chloe said calmly
"Thank you very much!" Tiara said as she bowed to Chloe
"O starlight," Chloe put her hand to her chest
"-Blessings to this land." Chloe continued
"-This land." Tiara doing the same thing as Chloe
"We give thanks to the Witch of the Dawn, Flora." Chloe and Tiara said together. Wait that was a prayer? Should I do the same? I'm just standing here not knowing what to do!
It was just silence as they close their eyes and pray. Until I heard a knock on the door.
"Come in." Chloe said as someone opens the door and goes inside. It was a long blue-haired girl. when she goes in, Tiara was surprised.
"Rose!?" Tiara said as the 'Rose' looked at Tiara and also surprised
"Tiara-" She said before she could finish her word Tiara immediately hug her
"...sama!?" Rose continued. Heh? Tiara-sama!? I need to ask Tiara about something now.
"I wanted to meet you!" Tiara said as she still hugging her
"I wanted to meet you so much! Rosetta~!" Tiara continued. And Rosetta face goes to smile and a little blush
"Me too, Tiara-sama." Rosetta said as she hugged her back.
While they have a reunion, I go to the crystal that Tiara use and I goes to touch it. The crystal glows to a rainbow not a normal glow like Tiara, I look to Chloe but she was surprised and when I look back at Tiara, Tiara and Rosetta they also surprised. Then I speak up.
"D-did I do something wrong?" I said still touching the crystal and Chloe immediately goes back to her composure.
"Teki-san, I'm sure you didn't do anything wrong but..." She goes to me and take a closer look at the crystal
"Would you like to study here?" Chloe said to me and I was surprised
"Please? What you did is so rare- No, it's the first time in history I got to see someone do this." Chloe continued. I mean, why not. I could be closer to Tiara again... For Geed-senpai medal of course.
"I would like to, Chloe-sensei." I bowed down and she did her praying again. I followed her
"O Starlight blessing to this land we give thanks to the Witch of the Dawn, Flora." We said together and then we started to pray.
"Rosetta, please guide Tiara-san and Teki-san around the academy." Chloe said
"Certainly." Rosetta bowed
"Also, Let Tiara-san enter your unit."
"Eh. But that's..." Before Rosetta could continue. Chloe-sensei cut her off.
"This is not a suggestion. It is a fact that's been decided." Rosetta was about to say something but she gave up
"Yes..." Rosetta said and Chloe-sensei gaze now focus on me.
"And for you Teki-san, you will be on your own. Because I'm sure if I put you in a unit full of girl something bad might happened." She said as she glaring at me.
"Y-yes... I understand." I said scared a bit
"And you will be in rank Noir." She said as she goes to the front of her desk
"Welcome to the academy, Tiara-san and Teki-san." Chloe-sensei smiled at us as we left the room
-----------------------------------------------
When we already out of the director room. I see Tiara is in a really good mood, she even acting like a child despite Rosetta called her 'Tiara-sama'. When I got time I will ask her. I need to focus on what's happening now.
I see Tiara is jumping from stairs step into another like a child, she then stopped and looked at Rosetta who been following behind her like a maid.
"It really has been a long time!" Tiara said to Rosetta as she stopped in front of her
"The last time we met was..." Tiara said as she thinking.
"2 years, 3 months and 14 days ago." Rosetta answered as I was surprised that she even count the day of the last time they met.
"Aha! As expected." Tiara said happily. She even doesn't find it weird? What is going on? Then Rosetta looked at me
"Also we haven't introduced properly. My name is Rosetta, Nice to meet you." Rosetta said
"Teki RinKen. Nice to meet you too, Rosetta." I said to her
"You two will be a good friend! I'm sure of it." Tiara said as she gives us a thumb up.
"I'm sure we will..." Rosetta said as she lead us to explore the academy
-----------------------------------------------
We then arrived at the courtyard. Tiara and Rosetta were talking together so I minding my own business and I looked around the courtyard and it was decorated nicely, it has a food stall on the side, tables and seats are around the courtyard so the students can use it and a fountain at the middle. I see many students around doing their own stuff, although I feel a lot of staring right now. I then looked at three girls who were having a tea party I guess... one of them has a tawny hair, the other one has lavender hair and lastly the long pink hair who for some reason is attracting me for an unknown reason. My thoughts interrupted by Tiara calling me.
"Teki you alright?" She asked me
"Ah, don't worry I just spacing out that's all." I said to reassure her. I will talk to the pink-haired girl later on.
"Also, why did Tiara-sama come to this academy?" Rosetta asked and Tiara suddenly stop. She takes a quick breath and exhale it
"Nee, why have you been using formal language since just now?" Tiara asked Rosetta while she was surprised by it
"Eh, but that's because..." She tried to explain but get cut off by Tiara
"We're both students here, so saying "-sama" is weird." Tiara continued. Well, that's right it feels so weird.
"And also, Rosetta is the senpai here too."
"But, Tiara-sama..." Rosetta tried to explain again but failed. Poor Rosetta
"If you keep doing that, I'll start calling you "Rosetta-senpai", you know?" Rosetta was surprised when Tiara said "Rosetta-senpai" part. I wish I could take a picture of her face right now... Wait, I do have my phone.
"Certainly-" Rosetta stopped abruptly
"*cough* I get it. Tiara." She continued and then smiled
"Well then, let's go." When we about to continue Tiara ask Rosetta again
"Ah, what is the "unit" thing that the director talked about just now?" Tiara asked her. Oh yeah that's right
"That's right, what is this "unit" stuff?" I also asked Rosetta
"In here, there's a lot of people who form units to work together." Rosetta said
"Since it's very difficult to just go at it alone." Rosetta continued as I was shocked by what she said. It's difficult? Yap, I'm screwed.
"So I'll be together with Rosetta in one unit, right?" Tiara said excitingly and Rosetta nodded
"Well good for you Tiara." I said to her and she just smiled at me and I looked away immediately
"What kind of people in our unit?" Tiara asked Rosetta again
"I'll introduce them to you right now." Rosetta answered
"Can I still tag along?" I asked Rosetta
"Well, if you want to." She answered. Might as well stick around more than I lost my way in the academy
"Well then, shall we go?" I said as we started walking again.
