Chapter 31

Finally, we reached the academy.

Lining up in rows of ten, we made our way to our seats. Ready for the entrance ceremony, of course all eyes were on Reius and Alexander.

"Is that the prince of Arborea?"

"Ya, I recognise him from the newspapers."

"whose the guy beside him?"

"I think that's prince Reius from Scarabia."

"who?"

"You know the prince whose wedding got ruined, a few months ago..."

so on and so forth.

Eventually, a young man with blonde hair tied in a braid, walked out to the podium. He was very beautiful, his blue eyes were as if like the ocean itself. He wore a simple white suit.

With a snap of his fingers, golden particles began to manifest and his voice grew in volumes.

" GOOD DAY EVERYONE. I'M YOUR DEAN, ALISTAIR FLETCHER, ALTHOUGH YOU MAY CALL MR FLETCHER INSTEAD....."

The rest was blocked out as for a second, I thought I saw a dark shadow behind before disappearing not only that but I could have sworn I heard Oliver say something.

Maybe I should keep my guard up..

The opening ceremony soon ended with the welcoming speech from the headmaster, an elderly man with a greying head and a lampshade moustache. A set of stern aquamarine eyes stared back at the students behind his thin frame glasses.

Prefects then lead us to our respective dorms.

Since the school doesn't believe in higher statuses or what not, all students are given equal treatment with a few exceptions.

Placing my suitcase onto my bed, I started to unpack.

The dorm was simple with the basic necessities. rows and rows of beds alongside nightstands for personal belongings. Under the beds was a trapdoor to put our luggage, wardrobe cabinets were at the side of the room.

There were quite a few people who looked younger than me in our dorm but seeing as this was an international school, I guess it was normal.

"Why do I have to sleep right beside this muscle head daruma?" grumbled Theo as he folded his clothes into neat piles, placing them into the wardrobe cabinet.

"Well you just have to live with it." was all Ross said as he tried to help a younger student get his suitcase into the trapdoor " By the way, can someone please help me with this!"

A couple of students went forward and with a few more push, they finally managed to get the suitcase into the door, closing it shut.

From the corner of my eye, I thought I saw something silver peek through the trap door from under Alexander's door before it fell shut.

(Timeskip: a month or so later)

"ALEXANDER WAKE UP!" shouted 'Jeremy' as he smacked Alexander with a pillow once more. It had been weeks since they last enrolled into the magi academy and it was already a known fact in their dorm that the prince from Arborea was near impossible to wake.

"uh...okay okay I'm getting up..." grumbled Alexander as he got out of bed, groggily rubbing his eye as he slipped into the washroom.

Finally, they reached the dining hall. Placing their books over the table, the once empty plates magically conjured up their desired orders.

"So how long did it take this time?" asked Reius as he ate a mouthful of nasi lemak, his hands oily from using them.

"15 minutes." was all Jeremy said as he began to gobble up his mandelkubb.

"Are you sure you're alright, Alexander?" asked Theo almost worriedly as he stared at his roommate.

Alexander merely nodded his head as he sipped a drink from his Cafè Crème.

Oliver simply smiled, digging into his canistrelli only to start choking when he was suddenly hugged from the side. The suspect was Ross, crying anime tears.

Coughing hard, Reius hurriedly tried to help him while Theo simply looked at Ross with an irritated expression, " What the hell. You could have killed him!"

"I'M SO SORRY BUT SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!"

Sweat dropping, Jeremy asked what was wrong. Ross then hurriedly pulled out a long piece of parchment, begging someone to help him.

Suddenly, a shiver ran down everyone's spine. Slowly Ross turned around, coming face to face with an angry Beastia who looked almost just like him, except older and more mature looking.

"We'll be heading to class first..."

With that, Theo, Jeremy, Alexander, Reius and Oliver quickly ran out of the dining hall leaving Ross behind.

You traitors!

"Ross, did you not to do the homework...."

"Ruf! I can explain!"

"Of course since you will have a ton during detention."

"NO!!!!!"

(Timeskip:classroom,'Jeremy POV')

"You guys betrayed me..." said Ross near ominously, a yellow slip of paper in his hands.

Theo let a small smirk form, " We had to do so in order to survive.."

It wasn't long before the two were at each other throats.

"Time really has passed hasn't it." said Oliver almost wistfully.

"Ya,"

"ALRIGHT EVERYONE, SEAT BACK DOWN!" cried a flamboyant voice.

Entering the room was an elegant looking man with an effeminate look. His long grey hair was tied in a ponytail with a simple wooden hair pin. He wore a purple overcoat, a cravat pinned at his neck collar and a dark maroon scarf hung around his arms.

The fight stopped, and the two idiots returned to their seats, I nudged Alexander a little to keep him awake and the lesson started.

Mr Nao, was a really odd man.

He was a sadomasochist that was sure and how he became a teacher was a mystery but he was a good one. Lessons with him were never dull and despite the occasional disruptions, it was easy to understand.

The classes went by smoothly, it was until Sir Lin's class did we get a special announcement.

"Now then before you boys are dismissed, I like to remind everyone that in two weeks time the girls school will be coming over for our annual tea party, not only that but please make note of the fag event. More information will be handed out to you at a later date.."

That night dinner was filled with excitement, not for the fagging system but for the coming visit of the ladies. Ross spent the dinner swooning about the girls while Theo just looked like he wanted to stab the beastia with his fork.

"I don't understand what's all the hype is about?" said Alexander incredulously as he took another bite of Kartoffelsalat mit Würstchen.

"The tea party..."

spooking us, Alexander and I nearly had a heart attack, behind us was Mr Fletcher. A kind smile painted over his face.

"Mr Fletcher!" exclaimed Oliver, a cheerful grin over his face

"Hello Oliver, the tea party is an annual event that allows the students from the boys and girls school to get to know each other through a series of small events such as competitions and dances."

So its like a match making session...😒

"Thank you, Mr Fletcher."

I swear sparkles could be seen shining as the two sunshines smiled. It was already a known fact that Oliver was Mr fletcher favourite but the students that aspired to be in the good books couldn't help but feel jealous.

The dinner came to an end and everyone returned to their rooms.

As I lay on my bed, the ticking of the clock was all I heard, I was about to doze off when a loud scream rung around the school, waking everyone from their sleep.

What the heck is going on.....?!
