Welcome Ceremony

"Don't worry about it, and once again welcome to the Black Rose Academy, Levannya"

Vanya blushed a little at the girl's actions and her surprise showed on her face because for a moment Linae's eyes had glowed in an intense red tone that made Levannya feels a chill in her entire body.

…

Levannya could only thank in a whisper very softly with her face as red as a tomato. Who wouldn't be embarrassed if a girl with such beauty approached their face as if she was seducing them?

After a few seconds, she came out of the shock when Linae left her room, Levannya feel that she imagined that change in the girl's color, or maybe that was the effect of the sunset that darkened the room

Without a doubt that school was very strange since she arrived everything had seemed very confusing...

"DAMN IT!"

Levannya squeezed her hair because she hadn't asked what was important, it was the first time she had heard that the great Black Rose Academy was a nocturnal school, she didn't understand why they never said that to her.

She was exhausted and really wanted to rest a little bit when she wanted to lay in the bed the knock on the door stopped her, Levannya got up from the bed and opened the door looking at the young man who was carrying all her suitcases on a wooden board with a lever... or something like that, actually, she didn't know what it was but it seemed pretty useful to carry her luggage.

"Good afternoon my lady, sorry for the delay here I bring your belongings"

"Oh my... thank you so much"

Levannya helped him put everything in her room and even though the boy refused to receive help from her, she didn't listen to him.

"Here… it's not much but it's enough for you to buy yourself a delicious meal"

Levannya gave him a gold coin which made the boy explode in nerves, however as she knew the importance of money for the poor she didn't let him refuse the payment and she simply waved him off with a smile.

When Levannya was left alone again she observed the whole place, which seemed too big for her. She let out a soft sigh even though she wanted to sit and sleep she couldn't afford to be lazy.

In just a few hours she managed to arrange her clothes in her closet, she put the notebooks and books in the bag they had given her and arranged each of her belongings on the dresser for any need, when she finished exhausted she sat on the bed again rubbing her lower back with one of her hands, she feels that zone somewhat numb from having been standing for so long.

She took out a golden pocket watch that her father had asked her to always carry with her, it had a beautiful phrase engraved with her name but she still couldn't decipher what it said because it was in another language very strange.

She opened that clock to see the time but she was upset when she saw that she only had one hour left for the ceremony, Did she really spend a lot of time arranging her room?

With a tired sigh, she quickly jumped into the tub and was thankful that the water was heated with the best invention in the world so she wouldn't have to go from one place to another to fill the tub with hot water with a bucket.

It takes her only ten minutes to clean her body and her hair, going to change as quickly as possible. She dry her body delicately and hydrate her skin with a lotion, her father had always told her that he had very sensitive skin and he should take care of her.

First, she combed her hair into a ponytail using the ribbon that her mother had given her as a gift for her admission, once she finished her hair, she dressed in her uniform, finding it curiously comfortable even though it didn't seem so.

In the closet there were also a pair of black boots of her size, she assumed that they were also part of the uniform so he put them on and adjusted them, she looked on his desk for the rose brooch next to his credential which she adjusted in the brooch before she hangs it in the blouse. He took the key to her room and put it in the pocket of her skirt and luckily it had those pockets if not who knows where she would keep everything with her.

She hadn't had time to read all the rules of the castle and he didn't know if she should hand over those documents at the ceremony, but if that was the case the president would have said something to her.

Full of concern, Levannya peeked out a little, noticing that some girls were heading to the room the ceremony will be held and they didn't carry absolutely anything in her hands, so she relaxed, maybe she could ask someone on the way.

She left her room locking it, she didn't know anyone to ask but luckily a young girl was coming out of close to her room so she approached her to introduce herself.

"Hello!"

The tall brown-haired girl with black eyes seemed a bit flustered at her greeting but Levannya gave her a friendly smile before speaking again.

"I'm sorry for scaring you, I'm Levannya Darleen, it's my pleasure"

The girl looked at her as if she was a circus clown or something similar, Levannya couldn't understand her expression of surprise as if talking to her was the most impressive thing in the world but after a long silence between them, she finally answered her.

"You're new here…right?"

"Yes, it's true" Vanya replied somewhat embarrassed scratching her cheek a little before speaking again "I would like to ask you if you knew what should I bring to the ceremony?"

"Well... you don't need anything except your room key and credential"

"Ah what a relief, thank you very much… oh I didn't hear your name"

The girl tensed up a bit, not knowing whether to give her name to her or not, but she didn't seem bad, she sighed a bit before introducing herself with a slight and elegant reverence.

"I am Natasha Mills, it's a pleasure"

Levannya felt like she had heard that name somewhere but couldn't remember at the time where, so she just smiled a little and made a reverence to respond to her politeness.

"The pleasure is mine, would you like to go to the auditorium together? I forgot to ask where it was hahaha"

At that precise moment, Natasha looked at her really confused, didn't she care if all the students saw them together? That was strange to Natasha how could such a…"refined" lady would want to be with someone like her?...

In the eyes of Natasha, Levannya looked like a golden retriever puppy so she couldn't tell her no, the girl was too sweet and pretty to deny anything.

"Ok, let's go... Together"

Levannya was excited to finally have a new friend, at least she didn't feel alone in that huge place. On the way to the auditorium they began to talk about the castle, Natasha answered all the questions full of curiosity from her like when that palace had been built and why the castle was now a school if it was evident that it had belonged to a royal family.

Natasha was surprised by the number of questions that Levannya could ask but it was entertaining, when they arrived at the auditorium the doors were still open, inside that place they were chatting with their friends making a lot of noise but when Levannya entered all made silence and looked at her completely amazed.

The question "Who is she?" abounded in any student present that was pursuing the girl with their eyes however, Levannya was just looking for a seat for her and Natasha, when she found those she took Natasha's hand and led her to the free places.

That had surprised them even more, how the hell could that beautiful girl be with Natasha? Everyone knew the secret of the tragedy that the brunette had suffered when she rejected the proposal of a young nobleman and was brutally abused... and it was said that as a result of that traumatic event, Natasha became lesbian, but that was completely the opposite.

She already liked girls before that assault, that's why she didn't want a relationship with a boy, but when he found out about her preferences, he told her that he was going to "fix her" and for that reason, everyone ran away from her thinking that homosexuality would be pass to them. Eventually, all the girls avoid all types of contact with her because...

who straight girl could be so crazy to be friends with someone who likes other girls?

They all sat down without making a "fuss" because surely the blonde girl didn't know who Natasha was and it was OBVIOUSLY that Levannya was new, later they would warn her.

Everyone was already gathered in the auditorium waiting for the president of the student council who would give the inauguration of the entrance ceremony to the academy.

Among the crowd was a young man with black hair as dark as night, white skin, and golden eyes as the pure gold surrounded by a bunch of girls, next to him was a boy with silver hair, something long only to his shoulders tied into a half ponytail, pale skin, and amethyst eyes who were busier talking to each other than looking at their surroundings.

The footsteps of the high heel boots tensed many of the students, Levannya looked at the entrance of the auditorium where Linae entered followed by a couple of… incredibly attractive people.

Her uniform looked incredible on the president, it was like it was made for her... And her expressionless face attracted the gaze of everyone present, everyone seemed to want to escort her and drooled over her.

After everyone who had entered settled into chairs behind a podium where Linae was placed the doors closed and her firm and somewhat scary voice filled the room.

"Welcome to all the students, the director is very grateful to see so many familiar and new faces... As most of you know I'm Linae Rudeger, the president of the student council of this school... with that being said, let's start the ceremony"
