New Faces (2)

Viola and her close friends who were also attending the Academy with her were walking down the large corridor, heading to the cafeteria with the guidance of an older student. The first years had just finished with their orientation and classes were due to begin the next day.

"I can't believe we're here!"

"Agreed. In just two years, we will be able to debut into society and be considered adults!"

Commoners were considered adults as soon as they turned seventeen, but the children of nobles had to attend an Academy the year they turned seventeen. They then had to stay in school for two years before they could successfully debut into high society where they would then be considered adults.

"You'll be debuting next year, yes?" Tiffani asked the student that was guiding them, the daughter of a Marquis from the Vestia Kingdom. Viola believed she had introduced herself as Lady Mendel.
