Chapter 32: Academy Life II

...After we finish eating, Violet had to go to her violin and piano class so we parted ways. Since I still had time before going to the training ground, I decided to go to the library room to find out more about that Royal Academy...

This is the first time I visited this library inside the main palace and it definitely did not disappoint me.

"Why was it that Violet bothers went to the library in town when all the information and various books are displayed in front of her eyes here...?" I thought in my mind wondering as I took my first steps in that massive library.

If I would professionaly described the aroma of this library, I would say that it gave me a woody smell and followed by smoky, earthy and a little bit vanilla aroma on it. The intensity of the smells usually was assessed as between strong odor and very strong odor, and I confirm that the smell here is very strong odor...

By walking slowly, my golden yellow eyes wondering around to every tall bookshelf that stood mighty there. There are many collection of books and some other also have print or nonprint materials organized and maintained very well so that it is easier for visitors to do a reading, consultation, study or research.

I didn't waste my time when I saw the inquiry counter that passed my eyes when looking around. I walked closer to the counter but unfortunately no one was standing there.

As I tried to turn my back, out of the blue, there was a woman dressed in all white, wearing the clothes that looking like the goddess. Her skin is saturated white and her eyes are leaf green colour. Her let lose hair is the same color as her eyes but it's just a little darker. Her height is approximately at the level of my shoulders, and I forgot to mention when I noticed that she has a pointy ears that are sharp tips like an eve....

"Ah... I'm sorry... did I hurt you anywhere...?" I asked her worriedly since my hard shield hit her quite hard.

"*tsk Hey.... you're blind or something." She said in monotone.

'Ehh...wait did I hear it wrong?' I thought in amazement.

"S-sorry what did you say... miss...?" I throw another questions on that eve again just to be sure.

"ahhh... I see so you are blind and also deaf... *sigh" Said the eve, the eve's words made me stiff and shocked a little.

"Get out of my sight before I punch that beautiful face of yours..." She whispered in my ear as she pulled my body armor closer to her.

'What- seriously... what's wrong with this eve's attitude... only her looks that could beat the goddess but her attitude just same as the devil itself.... *sigh' I thought in my mind then tried to leave the place before the voice of an old woman was heard.

"Aiyaa... kids, I'm sorry for making you wait... grandma was busy wiping the dust off all the old books... what are you two doing here...?" Asked the grandma wearing a round glasses and a robe with a brown knitted jacket that looked comfortable.

"Good afternoon granny... I only came here to borrow these books...ehehe...." That rude eve earlier replied with a spoiled smile on her face, her sudden change of attitude made me chuckle on the inside.

'Seriously... what a weird brat...' I thought in my mind as I look at her leaving with the books after fill in some documents that grandma gave her.

"Ermm... Grandma actually I come here to find a book about The Royal Academy... but this is my first time here so if you don't mind could you show me where I can find the book...?" I ask that grandma politely.

"Hohohoho... you don't have to worry about that... just wait." Said that granny to me as she snap her finger three times then I could sense a faint magic aura at the tip of her finger.

Out of the blue, there was a hard and thick maroon-colored book flying towards the grandmother's hand. She then casually handed the book to me with a smile planted on her wrinkle face. Before I could even say thank you, she then suddenly disappeared from my sight. I just don't know what to think since this is not the same as my previous world so all that things that's just happend suppose to be some normal sh*t.

Before opening that thick book... there is an inscription that says 'Royal Academy Basic'. I sat down at an empty table nearby and then started reading the gist of the book.

The Royal Academy or previously better known as the 'Devil's Children Academy'... the name of the academy changed with the passage of time when people who were wise and had various elemental magic powers from neighboring kingdoms began to apply to enter The Royal Academy. It can be said that this academy is the same like university in my previous life, only... what we learned here is a little different from what we have back on earth.

As for my age and Violet's age, it is normal for us to enter The Royal Academy. In this academy... our race, beliefs and skin color are not taken into account. Everything is equal and interactions between creatures are also ensured to be balanced by the principal at The Royal Academy.

There are three main topics in this academy that we can choose from... the first one which is the most popular is Fighter Combat. In the Fighter Combat lesson, all students who choose this lesson will be tested with a magic stone that measures one person's magic level and the type of elemental found in a that person's body. It is also said that a chosen warrior will have a beast as their soul mate for life and death.

The second one is Healing Spell, which is simple enough. The only person who deserves to enter this class is someone who has the power to heal someone just like Violet... I'm actually quite sad because it's most likely that I won't be able to spend time in the class with her if she ever interested in entering this class...

Well... the last one is the Culinary Basics that all students who study at the academy must take. Culinary Basic is basically a course that'll impart the knowledge, skills and techniques to prepare various types of food and beverages from from selected neighboring Kingdoms. We learn how to make cuisine to bread, cakes and pastries. We will also learn how to work in a kitchen and run it effectively. To put it simply, the main objective of this lesson is to improve one's basic life skills and the skills of a person who will lead to the next stage in life such as marriage.

"Hmm... I guess I'll stop here..." I said to myself and closed the thick book when I saw that a lot of time had already passed.

I left the library and headed to the training ground with the thought that soon enough I will eventually go to this academy sooner or later when the month of Christmas comes... so, there is nothing to think about too deeply since the matter has not happened yet...

To be continue...
