Walking up the next morning with a strange bell running sound in my head. Exactly the same as the one notifying us that it was time for dinner. Groggily waking up I made my way to my cupboard opening the cupboards it was miraculously filled with several outfits and footwear. 'Ohhh the clothes I ordered must have arrived.'
Putting on something similar to leggings shirt and a belt, I gasped in excitement as I saw a robe. Quickly putting it on and pulling out my school badge clipping it on, fastening my bag of holding on my belt and quickly made my way out doing my hair.
Making my way to the entrance I caught the eye of various students that began taking a quick peek and began chatting quietly. 'I swear if Calista spread rumours again.... I'll kill her....'
Much to my surprise the no one was waiting for me at the dorm entrance. 'Hmmm I would have expected Jay to be very punctual.' Taking a seat on a nearby bench I waited for them patiently, getting excited for my first official day as a wizard.
"Good morning Emilia." I heard Jay' voice shout out to me, wearing trousers, boots and a shirt.
"Ohhh hey !!!!" I replied in excitement standing up to meet him.
"Ohhh.... you're wearing a robe?...." he said a little shocked.
"Yeah.... that's what wizards wear right?" I asked a little confused.
"Only during outings or ceremonies so it easy to spot each other...." he replied.
"Ohhh....." I replied a little embarrassed.... "Well.... I want to wear it!!" I said trying to sound confident.
"Well nothing wrong with it to be honest." He answered.
"So what first???!!!" I asked eager to start class.
"Well first is breakfast at the great hall.... then classes...." he replied.
"Heyy guys!!!" Daisy voice shouted out to us, looking similar to scarlet, wearing a dress with a plate breast plate and gauntlets with leather boots and her maul on her back. "By the way thanks for the clothes Emilia!" She smiled.
"..... Dressed a fight???....."Jay asked as she arrived.
"Yeah in case Calista tries something...." she said winking at me.
"Yeah but still.... a little over the top??..." I asked.
"kind of is but I need to get used to holding all my heavy equipment" she answered us.
"That makes sense....." Jay and I replied.
"Should we get going???" Jay asked.
"Maybe we should we wait for Grace and Helen?" I asked.
"Hmm we could wait a few minutes for them...." Jay answered.
"Okay!!!" I smiled.
"By the way.... wants so special about the world tree?" I asked pointing at the large tree in the middle of the whole school
"It's an ancient tree..... There are only 2 currently known in existence the one here and one in the great city Xoria they produce immense amount of Arcannum." Jay explained.
"I see…" I replied in wonder.
Slowly the courtyard began to empty, "Hmmm shall we just head out?" Jay asked.
"Yeah… we waited enough…" I said standing up.
"Sure let's go." Daisy agreed
Similar to last night we made our way into the great hall. This hall now being lit with the natural sunlight, we began looking around form empty seats together.
"I think that Helen over there…." Jay pointed at a blonde hair girl waving at us.
"Ohh lets head there…. At the very least there's free seat." I said.
We began briskly walking to Helen hoping no one takes the seat on the way there. "Good morning guys! We saved you some seats!" Helen greeted us with a smile.
"Good morning guys." I replied taking a seat opposite to them
"Ohh thanks for saving us seats." Jay said taking a seat.
"Good morning!" Grace replied.
"Hiii!" Daisy greeted them with a smile.
Almost instantaneously Jay began grabbing plates of food and fruits, a bowl of porridge, and a large glass of milk and orange juice and began stuffing himself. Daisy also began picking out her breakfast but at a far calmer and slower speed then Jay.
"Not going to eat?..." Helen asked me politely.
"Well…. I'm vegetarian, so I'm kinda making sure I don't eat anything I shouldn't." I replied.
"A… What?.." Helen and grace looked up a little confused.
"She doesn't eat the flesh of animals." Jay answered.
"Ohhhh I see….. how very noble…" Helen replied, as a large shadow loomed over me again. Turning around another robot wasted no time placing three plates of food for me.
"Thank you?..." I thanked the robot looking a little confused, showing no response and walked off. "Ohhh wow." I said looking at the plates of food, noticing one was eggs florentine.
"Ohhh wow what's that?!..." Daisy asked.
"Yah… that looks pretty nice.." Jay said looking at it.
"It's a dish you'd find where I come from.." I replied still surprised that they have it here.
"So Emilia… what are you planning to study?" Grace asked making conversation.
"Ohh I wanna be a Witch?..... Wizard?...." I replied.
"Sorcoress...." Jay coughed.
"Ohh yeah sorry a sorceress." I smiled.
"Ohhhh that's nice!" Grace replied
"Was you a late arrival?.... We didn't see you on Morndas." Helen asked.
"Ohhh yeah… something happened so I missed the first day." I replied.
"Ohhh… hope you're okay now." Helen politely replied.
"Yeah I'm good." I answered.
"Was you guys there yesterday?... When everyone got suddenly stuck in their nightmares?..." Grace asked.
"Yeah we was….." Daisy answered.
"Do you guys happen to know what happened?.." Grace asked.
"Ohhh…. Paul and Scarlet said... it was because of a Demon Lord…" I answered her.
"...." They both looked at each other a little shocked.
"It's okay…. it wasn't a real Demon Lord." I said trying to reassure them.
Out of nowhere another bell sound rang in my head. "Ohh time for class…" Jay said trying to scoff down the remaining food on his plate, pocketing some fruits in the process.
"Ohh damn…. I didn't even finish." I said trying to quickly get some more mouthfuls before everyone began standing up.
"Emilia?.. are you in the same class as us?.." Grace asked.
"I hope so…" I replied following them to class.
Exiting the great hall, we turn left walking past several doors entering on at the end of the hall way leading to a complex maze of stair cases all leading to different levels and hallways. Following them up the complex maze of stairways we made to a halfway lined with several doors. The excitement building up with each passing minute, eagerly taking a peep into some open doors seeming students and teachers in active classes.
"This is us." Jay said opening a large wooden door.
One by one entering second to last last, I was met with an extremely full class room, the layout looked similar to a small Lecture hall or Auditorium, tables stretching the width of the room with each successive table raised slightly higher with benches for seats. Following my group, we walked up to one of the tables near the front shuffling to the centre of the table.
Looking around I could see Calista at the far back, of course her row filled primarily boys and some girls. Quickly facing forward hoping she doesn't notice me I excitedly waited for class to start.
Everyone began bringing out their wands much to my surprise Daisy pulled off her gauntlets placing them next to her and pulling out a wand. "Jay… how comes Daisy and Grace has a wand?..." I asked him whispering to him.
"Even though they don't plan to use spells, it's part of the curriculum of first years, so they still have to go through it." He replied.
"Ohhh I see…" I whispered back.
Looking closer at Daisy's armour, it was amazingly beautiful, flawless shape with no dents and scratch, faint but beautiful etched designs and the edges lined with gold.
"Excited?..." She asked noticing me looking at her.
"Yeah of course!" I said eagerly watching who steps through the door each time it opens.
Eventually, an older looking woman walked through wearing a Blue robe lined with silver, with blue and black hair entered the room. I felt my body straighten up excited.
"Good morning children!" She shouted, causing the whole class to go silent.
"Morning Miss Meha." Everyone replied.
"Okay children…. Today we will be carrying on from last week's lesson on Cantrips." She announced talking loud enough to reach the back of the classroom.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
