I look at the red twin tailed hair girl and she is holding fire in her hand. Her ruby colored eyes stare into my soul. It seems like she's aiming at me. Some of the students were staring at us because of her.

"Uh... what?" I say

"You were going to do something bad and lewd to the princess." she yells

"Princess?" I asked even more confused

She points to Andr. She? A princess? She sucks at being a princess then, or is just really clumsy? Eh, whatever.

"Uh... You sure you got the right person?" I ask as I scratch my head

"Yes." she says as she throws the fireball at me

I dodge the fireball.

"Hey, you mine not threatening me on my first day? I literally did nothing." I complained

Why did I say something so futile when I know they won't stop.

"You were about to do something to her, weren't you?" she says

"You just repeated yourself... also no I wasn't." I reply

"The gesture you did earlier." she said

"You mean shrugging? Do you even know what a shrug is, dumbass?" I replied annoyed

She turned slightly red.

"Y-you don't get it! So I'll punish you!" she yelled

I make a pained expression. She throws another fireball which I barely dodge this time. Phew, that was close. It almost burned my sweater. She throws three fireballs this time which I dodge and they hit the academy. I wonder if I can plead the 5th here. 

"Stop dodging!" she yells

"No. Also, stop yelling for no reason." I complain

She makes an annoyed expression. She makes a bigger ball of fire this time. You gotta be kidding me. I look at Andr and it seems she's going to cast something. As the red haired girl was about to throw the giant fireball at me Shiro grabs her arm. As he grabbed her the fireball stops and implodes. I turn around and see Dalton, Destiny, and Zuj.

"You're making a commotion. So how about you stop?" Shiro tells the girl  

The girl makes another annoyed expression and starts attacking Shiro. Shiro blocks all these attacks though, making it futile. 

"You don't get it! He was harassing her!" she tells him

"No, he wasn't." Shiro says as he faces me

I shrug at him. He lets out a sigh and drops the girl. Shiro starts speaking to the girl. Dalton pulls me and Andr aside to the point where I can't hear them anymore. As the "fight" stopped the other students walk away.

"What happened over there?" Dalton asked in a confused tone

"Uh... women." I say sarcastically

Andr and Destiny hit me on the head. 

"Look, I was joking." I say with a sigh

"Alright, girls settle down." Dalton says

"Ok, well, back to the topic. I was accused of false things." I reply

"Yes, I can confirm it was a misunderstanding." Andr says

I stare at Andr with a confused face because it wasn't one.

"Oh yeah, Andr that red head said you were a princess or something?" I say

"She's a princess?" said Destiny and Dalton

"Um, Apparently?" I say with a shrug

"Uh... Yes, I am one of the princesses of Plumeria. I am Melia Plumeria. I am sorry for keeping it a secret" she says as she bows

I make a confused face as I think to myself, wait, shouldn't we be the ones bowing down or something? Eh, whatever I guess?

"Wait, didn't princess Rose tell us to find you? Also its fine that you kept it a secret." Dalton says

"Yeah, she did." Destiny replied 

Her face shows disappointment as she says "She wants me back home because I have to do my work."

"Well, Should we take you to your sister?" Dalton suggested

"No, I would prefer hanging out with you guys and going on adventures. Also, I have to talk to the principle to register Leticia into the academy. I'll be back soon." Melia answered 

"Oh, Alright then." he replied

Dalton looks at me and I shrug.

"I think that's a great answer." Destiny says as she hugs Melia

"Anyway, I'll get going towards the principles office and you guys can wait here." she says

"Alright then." I reply

"Ok." Destiny and Dalton say

We watch as And- err should I say Melia now? We watch as Melia walks back inside the Academy and goes upstairs. Presumably to the principles office. I turn back to Destiny and Dalton. They seem to be fighting... again. For siblings, they sure do fight a lot. Then again, I guess that's normal for siblings as I use to do that with my siblings a lot too. I hear them arguing but the words they are saying kinda just flow in and out of my ears.

I also notice Shiro, Zuj, and the twin tail girl walk towards us. The girl stares at Shiro embarrassed before turning towards me.

"Hey, look I'm sorry for what I did earlier... it was an accident." she said with a winced expression

Accident? ACCIDENT MY ASS. Whatever.

"Uh...yeah, sure." I reply 

All three of them head off in the opposite direction. I could hear Shiro briefly say "Be kinder when saying sorry." and after that, I heard a brief slap. Rip. I turn back to Dalton and his sister.

"So, now what?" I ask

"We wait for And- Melia." they both replied

Welp, guess we wait. We sit outside of the academy for about ten minutes or so before Melia comes out.

"Well, I was able to convince him to allow Leticia to join us but she'll be in a different classroom sadly except for PE." she says

"Wait, so, they didn't let her into our classroom for what though?" I ask

"Probably because we're out of room in our class." Dalton says

"No, were not." I reply

"Well, no use thinking about it. It's most likely a small reason." Melia says

Hmm... Now that I think about it Destiny has been awfully quiet. I turn around and look at Destiny. She is sitting alone on one of the steps. I take a step but hesitate... but walk towards Destiny. I stop walking towards her as soon as Dalton called her.

"Yo, Destiny what ya doing?" he says

"Huh, oh... Sorry got lost in my thoughts." she says as she turns around

"Anyway, guys we're thinking of just relaxing for the rest of the day. So, let's get Leticia and chill until we go to sleep." Dalton says

"Oh, okay." Destiny says

"You guys can go. Imma go relax in the dorms." I reply

"You sure?" Dalton asked

"Yeah, it's fine." I answer

"Okay, see ya later then." Dalton says as he hands me an extra key to our room

I wave goodbye to them as they leave. Ya know, it's like I lost motivation to join them now because of this school bullshit. Maybe it's just me? Eh, whatever. I slouch and sigh briefly before standing up straight again and walking towards the dorms so I can go nap or something.

As I'm walking over I see some people getting bullied. I ignore it as it's not my business and I don't feel motivated to help them either. Shiro appears out of nowhere and stops the bullies as I turned back to look at what was happening.

I continue to walk to the dorms and ignore people staring at me. I go upstairs to room D-6 and open the door. I lock the door and lay on the bed. Man, why did I push myself away or push them away from me. I sigh. I flip over and stare at the roof.

I should have gone with them instead but I'm not really an outgoing person. Well, it's too late to join them. I open my bag and look for my phone to check what day it is. It's Thursday the 13th of August, 2:18 pm. I turn off my phone and put it back into the bag.

Hmm... Nice. Also... wait, didn't that masked asshole call the other figure back in the mines Melia? Are they connected? Are they the same person? Same name? Errr... I'll just stop thinking about this. If I get more hints or something I'll say something, I guess.

Oh, well. I continue to lay down and just do nothing. Time passes. Nothing happens. Man, this is really boring. I look outside of the window and see a dark and light magical beacon of light or something outside. It causes an explosion. 

Huh, neat. The explosions seemed to happen inside a forest outside of Plumeria. I notice some adventurers and guards traveling over there. They are most likely investigating it. I wonder what everyone is doing. I hate how we went to school again. Even if it helps us, we could be doing adventures and shit. Also aren't we post to be finding and fighting the demon lords? I sigh again. Whatever.

Man, what the fuck do I do. I could go outside... but there's also nothing for me to do. Demotivation at its finest. Or is it me being lazy? I shrug to myself. I hear a knock on the door. I check and a paper is slid under the door to me. I pick it up and read it. It's about a water temple trial that will come in four months and we should prepare.

Welp, knowing me I won't prepare for shit. Then again now I'm forced to learn swordsmanship and other stuff with Harold so, I am already preparing. Fuck, next time I'll just join them. This is boring as hell. I started to undress to shower and notice the bandages covering over my wounds from the fight in Dab Phem. They don't hurt as much so I decide to the bandages off. After I shower I lay back down on bed.

Hours pass as night starts and Dalton returns.

"So, what you been up to Link?" Dalton asked as he closes the door

"Nothing. Nothing at all. How about you guys?" I ask

"Well, we explored a bit in Plumeria. We bought some snacks and stuff. We mostly messed around. You should of joined us." Dalton answered

"Yeah, I'll join you guys next time as nothing happened and I can't really do anything like I did back on Earth. Also here read this paper." I reply as I toss him the paper

"Hmm? Oh, a trial in four months? Neat, more training so we can prepare for more adventures and vs the demon lords." Dalton says

"Yeah yeah." I say 

"So you really did nothing here?" Dalton says

"Yes, I did nothing. Absolutely nothing." I answer

"Alright then, I am going to shower and then go to bed." Dalton says before walking into the bathroom

Hmm. Well, it's night now so I guess I'll go to bed. I turn off the lights and go to bed. As I sleep I dream or maybe a flashback of the younger version of me. I watch him play tag with our friends. Sometimes I wonder if he would be better in my place. The night passes swiftly and now it's morning. That was quick.

I get up and go into the bathroom to wash my race. I greet Dalton. I look and see toothbrushes. Neat, a lot of everyday tools that I never pay attention to, apparently. Oh well, I brush my teeth before getting ready for class.

"Ready for class?" Dalton ask

"Nope." I answer

"Heh." he replied

We start walking towards class and see Melia and them, so we walk together. We first take Leticia to her class before we go to our class. We enter and sit down. The teacher says that we are learning about magic spells and original spells. He tells us that original spells are harder to create as they require time to be made and time to be mastered by you.

Of course, only you will be able to cast it because you made it but it will suck at first but will eventually get better if you practice and improve. He then talks about how there are a lot of basic spells you can learn that is just known in general such as light spear, corruption, wind blade, fireball, icicle, crusher, and more. 

The teacher Xwb Fib tells us that we'll learn more complex things in the future as he doesn't want to cram a bunch of things into the brain and we forget it. The basic class ends and we head to PE and while we were walking over to it we see Leticia and we join together as five again.

In PE they try to teach us how to apply magic to our weapons so they hand us sticks. Most of us fail as it is pretty hard to do. It requires high magical power and mana. It also drains your mana over time and increases the weapon's weight.

PE ends and lunch comes in. We all head to the cafeteria to get our food and eat. We sit down next to each other.

"Hey, Melia. Do you have a preference on what you want to be called?" I ask 

"Um... you can call whatever you want." she answers

"Okay then, I'll just call you Melia then since it's your real name." I reply

Melia, Destiny, and Dalton begin to talk to each other. They are talking about making new friends and maybe getting them to join our small group. I look at Leticia. She isn't really talking with us and just listening. I attempt a conservation as I am not good at engaging conservations and only bouncing back.

"Hey, so how was your first day Leticia?" I ask

"It was okay... Wish I had the same class as you guys but at least we are in PE." she says

"Uh... nice, nice." I reply

. . . Nothing happens as I fail to bounce back at another conservation.

"Uh... sorry for not being able to start a conservation and making it awkward." I say with a sigh

"It's fine." Leticia says

"Right..." I say

Nothing else really happens besides the fact they talk about some other things and maybe future friends. We all wave goodbye and decide that we will meet again in front of Plumerias Academy. Welp, time to practice swordsmanship again and train with Harold.
