Y/n's pov.
" I bet she hasn't even had a boyfriend " I hear the girl behind me whisper, the other girl chuckles.
" Who the hell wants to date a village girl? "
" She could smell like a pig " they both giggle silently and I roll my eyes as I copy the notes Derek wrote on the blackboard.
" Probably lives like one too " they laugh harder in silence.
" Quiet " Derek said as he reads the book he has in hand while his feet up is on his desk.
It's almost five o'clock meaning class is almost over and I want to eat my chocolate, apparently snacks aren't allowed in classes which is bullshit. It wasn't like that during hunting for a deer, but the most bullshit part is you are not to leave this classroom until you finish copying the notes, another problem, Derek's handwriting is shit.
I raise my hand and clear my throat at the same time to get his attention.
" Yes, Y/n? " He asked.
" What the hell is that word? " I gesture to the board.
He turns his head to the board as well.
" Next to the word 'cause', part C " I said.
" Combustion " he said.
" I read that as connhoskien "
" Excuse me? " He asked.
I look back up at him.
" Oh your handwriting looks like a chicken " I said.
I hear the other students snorted and some holds their smile and Derek just looks at me unimpressed, I just smile and continue on copying the notes since I'm almost finish.
" She's the chicken " I hear the girl behind me said.
I ignore it and complete my notes, as I write down the last word the bell chimed in time and I close my book then put away my quill and ink bottle in my bag that Elvenia has gotten for me and I thanked her.
" Read those notes, there will be a test by the end of the week " Derek said.
Everyone seem to put on an annoyed face expression as they leave the room, I finish up and hang my bag on my shoulder, I wait for the others behind me walk pass first since they were earlier. In the end I was the last one to walk out. I adjust the strap on my shoulder and make my way back to the library.
" Hey Y/n "
I slow down then turn around from the familiar voice, and why am I not surprise to see Rowena approaching.
" Yes, Rowena? " I asked as she approaches.
" How'd you do it? " She asked.
" Do what? " I asked.
She grabs my arm and start pulling me.
" Hey!, Ow–. . .your hurting me! " I said as she keeps dragging me to a corner of an archway.
" What?! " I push her hand off as we stand here.
" I thought you can't do magic " she said.
" I can't " I said.
" Doesn't look like it to me " she said.
" Why?, Insecure I'll be stronger than you? " I asked, she rolls her eyes.
" How'd you touch my phoenix flame? " She asked.
I stand here stunned by her question but I clear my throat.
" I-. .I don't know what your talking about " I turn away but she pulls me back.
" Don't play stupid!, I saw you in the library, you touched my phoenix flame like it's nothing " She said.
" Why do you care?! " I push her hand off.
" If your gonna start a fight, I suggest you give up, I have no time for this " I said.
" I'm not! " She said.
We stand here and look at each other and I see the seriousness in her face and confusion combined, she looks at me with a more skeptical look, I inhale then look around where people are walking around to their next class and some going up the stairs then exhale as I turn to Rowena.
" Well? " She asked, I sigh.
" Not here "
~ Time Skip ~
" I suppose you can call me a freak " I said.
" Cool actually " she said, I snicker.
" That's the first, especially after everything you told me " I said and we walk down this library corridor of bookshelves.
I have a cart of books to push.
" You have only been here for two days, you don't know me " she said.
" Yeah whatever " I said.
" So you grew up basically. . .immune to any magic? " She asked, I nodded with a hum.
" Practically how my spell didn't work " she said.
" I don't know how I did it, but I can't control it, like you and your phoenix flame magic " I said and put a book in it's shelf.
" I have control over them, people just annoy me " she said.
" No wonder you have no friends " I said.
" I have friends " she said.
" Name one " I chuckle.
" You " she said, I furrow my eyebrows and turn to her.
" And Lumina "
" One day we were in each other's necks and the next we're friends? " I asked.
" Yeah, you have cool magic so we're definitely friends " she said.
" First off all it's not magic, second of all, we have so many differences, we can't be friends " I said.
" Why not? " She asked.
" Farmer girl. . .princess " I pointed to my chest first then to her chest.
She pushes my hand off.
" Not a princess " she said.
I snicker and walk away.
" Hey, I'm being serious " she catches up.
" Shhhh! " Esmus hushes.
" Whatever you say " I said.
" I also saw you and Laurence " she said.
" So? " I asked as I approach a bookshelf.
" And you look pitiful tasting chocolate for the first time " she laughs.
I roll my eyes and put in some books.
" Make fun of me and chocolate all you want but what you can't do is stop me " I said.
" I'm not complaining and it was a cute scene of you and Laurence " she said, I snicker.
" As if " I said.
" I'm being serious, him wiping the chocolate off your lips was golden! " She said.
" Not a chance " I said.
" I see it " she said.
" Your forgetting all of you in this school is a noble and I'm just. . .normal " I said.
" Doesn't mean you can't be together, and correction, half of the people in this school is not noble " she said.
" Hold your horses it's been two days since I met all of you " I turn to her.
" It's not too late to start am I right? " she shrugs.
" Shut up " I said and finish up the books.
" Rowena " I look over my right shoulder where I see a fair with red light dust following it.
The fairy has dark auburn red hair with a pair of brown eyes, with an envelope.
" Aurora, and why do you have an envelope? " Rowena asked.
" You got a letter " Aurora said.
" From who? " Rowena takes it.
" The royal family " she said.
" Whoa " I said and approach her.
I see the seal on the letter.
" Probably an invitation to something " she said and open it.
She didn't take out any card or paper but a pretty gold dust sprinkle in the air making words and beautiful designed as a paper.
" Dear miss Vaitla " a male voice spoke out.
" You are invited to the royal banquet with the queen of Yoviel tomorrow morning, you may bring gifts and to dress in a presentable way, Her Majesty " I flinched when the dust just poof and sprinkle everywhere in different colors.
" Whoa " I chuckle as I swing my hand in the air and the dust disappears.
" You got invited to the palace! " I turn to Rowena who's face tells me she's not surprised.
" Are you not excited? " I asked.
" Not my first time being there, noble remember? " She asked.
" Oh, right " I said.
" Rowena " I turn around to see Lumina approaching.
" Hey " Rowena fold her arms.
" Did you get the letter?, I got invited to the palace " she squeals.
" Shhh! " We hear Emus.
Damn, his ears are everywhere.
" Yeah, I got invited alright " Rowena said.
" What about you? " Lumina turns to me and I shake my head.
" Not yet at least " I said.
" Of course your not, your not a noble " Aurora sit down on Rowena's shoulder but she push her off.
" Thanks for pointing that out " I said.
" Awe, don't worry, there are other students here who won't attend " Lumina said.
" Y/n! " I turn around and see Elvenia flying in speed.
I stand here and she crashes onto my chest which felt like a poke.
" Are you alright? " I chuckle as she backs up and holds her head.
" I'm okay " she smiles up at me.
" What's the hurry? " I asked.
" Heamistress asked for all ladies and gentlemen to head over to the main hallway for an announcement "
~ Time Skip ~
" This is the biggest part of the school " Lumina said.
" I can see that " I said and look around.
" Well, the palace is bigger " said the fair with blond hair and dark blue eyes.
Dillon, Lumina's fairy.
" Let's find a seat " Elvenia said.
This hall is filled with long tables, we head over to the front third table to the left and take our seat.
" Mind if we join? " I look up to my right to see Laurence taking a seat.
Lumina is to my left and Rowena next to her.
" We? " I asked.
" Don't mind if I do " I see Travis sit down next to Laurence.
" I'm still wondering how Travis is a noble " I said.
" We're debating on that " Laurence said.
" Hey! " Travis exclaimed.
" Hello " I see two fairies flying on to the table.
" Hi " I said.
" Finally got a person for you, Elvenia? " Asked the fairy.
He has jet black hair and dark brown eyes.
" Shut up Felix " Elvenia toss some kind of a ball dust which cause him to fall backwards off his chair.
" Hey, that wasn't very nice " Felix gets up and brush the dust off his clothes.
" Your not nice yourself " Laurence said.
" It's not something he can control " said the other fairy.
He has light brown hair and orange amber eyes.
" Your the same Oliver " Travis said.
" Where's Dante?, Isn't he always with you? " Lumina asked.
" He found someone to entertain " Rowena gestures her head and I look ahead of Laurence as the others turn and we see Dante by a table with all girls.
" Wow " I said.
We all then look over to the dog who popped up on the table.
" Hey Scouts " Lumina said.
" Ah! "
I was startled to the fairies screaming and immediately flying behind me while Elvenia goes under my hair as usual.
" He's behaving, don't worry " Garroth takes a seat next to Travis.
" Does he swallow fairies on a basis? " I asked.
" Basically " Sylvia flies down on the table and sit down on the mini chair.
" Attention students! " We all turn our heads to the back of the front of the hall where there's a few steps up to a lectern.
There is where miss Layla is standing with a few teachers behind her, I notice Derek is really hating his life standing there with a long face.
" We all tonight received good news from the royal palace, an invitation " she said.
" Boys will be having a banquet with the king while girls are to be with the queen, for this occasion we have a prior request from Mrs. Zvahl " she steps away from the lectern and Mrs. Zvahl steps forward.
" Thank you headmistress for the introduction, now onto my request, I will like to have everyone's answers through a survey sheet, this will have to do with your outfits to the palace to be more presentable " she said.
I see all the fairies fly away in this room to the front where there's a stack of papers, I look at Elvenia over my shoulder and she stays there giving me a sympathy smile, I smile back at her.
" It's alright " I quietly said.
All of them come back with a sheet of paper and pass it off.
" Fill out these form and pass it up before curfew "
I was so focused on fishing in genshin that I almost forgot about this!
Bye!
