The first day of the academy has finally started.

Students eager to impress the instructors were an hour early before the scheduled time.

Of course those eager students did not include the royalty.

All the princes and princesses were fashionably late.

And the commoners were also desparately waiting for them to show up.

Afterall the royalty was a different level always. No matter how much you stick to an instructor they could only give you a few points in the exams.

But the royalty, of you stick upto them your whole life will be set.

In short royalty was more favourable option to stick with.

The first to enter was the prince of the Mistic Moon kingdom. His shining light blue hair and silvery eyes were enchanting.

Some omegas blushed just by looking at that face.

He was youngest prince of his kingdom, Matthew who had secured the third place in the exam with the help of his mist affinity.

Matthew was a strong warrior in his kingdom, though not as strong as his elder siblings he was considered quite talented in combat for his age.

Even though he was not so happy about getting the third place in the entrance exam, he knew the other two above him were strong.

So he had accepted his rank after a day only. He was not an arrogant brat.

He knew those people deserved their ranks. But this also did not mean that he will stop trying.

He had promised himself that he will give his best and try to be on the top after the midterms when the rankings will shuffle and others would have a chance to displace the people on higher rankings by outperforming them.

The whole class watched in silence as the prince made his way to the front row seats.

As soon as he sat down the nobles surrounded him greeting sweetly with pleasantly schooled expressions.

Matthew sighed inwardly . Not this again. Why don't they do their own work .

He was annoyed but did not show it in his face . He greeted back as politely as they had him.

After some time Aurelia came in the class too. Her midnight black hair shining under the sun and her blue eyes bright like sapphires.

The alphas were immediately distracted by her beauty and surrounded her.

They began introducing themselves with all the grace they could manage, introducing their titles of the grand noble houses they belonged to.

Aurelia began to politely accept their greetings. Afterall this was not the first time she was surrounded like this.

In her kingdom also there were always alphas of her age wandering around her.

In fact she was so used to all this that she forgot this was not normal. People were not supposed to be surrounded all the time.

But she expertly handled their advances, rejecting some politely while glaring at those who dared to try more.

After some minutes she sat on the front bench besides Matthew.

" Greetings prince Matthew. It has not been long since we last met yet you seen gloomy."

Aurelia said.

" Greetings to you too princess Aurelia. It has indeed not been long. We just met a month ago at your brother's mating ceremony.

I must say such a grand event it was. I hope they are happy together."

Matthew discretely avoided the topic of him being a little sad due to the rankings.

Aurelia taking the signal did not bring it up again.

They both sat in peaceful silence until the siblings of the Pearl Moon kingdom arrived.

Though a few people wanted to approach them but recieving the ' do not approach' aura of the prince Solomon they stopped in their tracks and retreated to their seats.

Princess Lyra seemed much more approachable.

Both siblings had golden blonde hair with eyes like molten gold. They were like twins shining together.

They too greeted Aurelia and Matthew and sat beside them.

Now that everyone was in the class except Irina and the instructor himself Aurelia began to wonder where her sister had gone.

Irina had always been punctual. Never late for something that was important.

Where are you little sister? I have not been able to contact you since yesterday.

Though father said he had some work with you but that shouldn't have taken so long.

Am I overthinking things? Irina is a responsible girl. She will definitely come before the class starts.

Aurelia persuaded herself to not go crazy over it and pateintly waited for her sister to return.

She did not have to wait for long as she stopped her sister Irina entering the classroom with the instructor.

Irina have a small smile to her and walked to the backside of the class without saying anything.

Aurelia understood this was her means of saying that she was sorry and that the instructor had called her.

Now that she joined the dots, she finally recalled that Irina was the Apex of their year.

The Apex was the person who ranked first and helped instructors with their classes and other students.

Apex was the link between instructors and f the students. The students had to undisputedly follow the Apex who was the leader of the year.

The instructor was a burly man with a deep scar running from his eyebrow to his jaw on the left side.

As he entered the class fell into silence. Students held their breaths in anticipation.

Finally he spoke " Good morning everyone. I am Bush Ashburn. And I will be your homeroom teacher for the coming years."

They had heard of him, a person on mythic rank and almost close to being a Saint.

He spoke again.

" I see. Everyone has arrived. Why not we start the the classes with some warm up.

Come on follow me."

With that he began walking towards the training grounds with the students following behind him like ducklings.

" Now start running.

Anyone who is seen slacking off before two hundred laps will have a hundred more added.

Omegas to run hundred laps and alphas two hundred.

Do not stop before you all finish."

Everyone afraid that they will have to run more laps started running laps.

Some who started sprinting fastly at the start were now not running anymore.

They were just dragging their feet afraid to stop to avoid the punishment.

Aurelia being an omega and the strongest omega in the class finished first. Some other omegas who were resilient enough came after her.

They were now watching and giggling at the alphas. Some girls near her were even talking about being girlfriends of her sister Irina.

And of course Irina finished not long after that . Afterall her physical strength has always been great.

After some time the other royals were also in their way to the stands to rest for sometime.

In almost half an hour everyone was finished with their laps.

As they thought they would be given some rest their hopes were crushed.

Instructor Bush came out of nowhere and ordered everyone for extra push ups, squats and more drills.

The day ended with everyone having having sore and stiff muscles that were aching.

Some even had to be taken to the infirmary.

But this was just the first day...
