"Welcome to Leon Academy!"

"My name is Professor Rose Hemmings and I am one of the many professors at this academy. But for now, if you would follow me, I will lead you to the auditorium where other students are currently waiting. You do not need to bring your belongings with you, they will be transported to your dorms." The freckled woman said.

As soon as she finished speaking, two men on a silver carriage, which looked eerily like a luggage transporter appeared behind her.

"Now students, off we go!"

As Ella walked, she was awestruck at the scenery in front of her. Huge trees stood on either side of her, with vast flowers and greenery. It reminded Ella of home. As she walked further, she could see the tops of buildings, shimmering in the sunlight. After what seemed like a decent walk on the brick road, she saw a large fountain, swirling sparkling water and an arched entrance. The sign on top plated in gold, 'Leon Academy'.

Going through the arched entranced, she was surprised to see that the setup of the academy reminded her of her college on Earth. [It feels like its own city. Gosh, it's so grandeur]. Following Professor Hemmings, they entered a tall building and through large doors before taking a seat in the hall. The hall was a magnificent auditorium with several levels, with marble pillars and chandeliers. At the front of the stage, were other students already seated.

"New students, please make your way to the front section of the auditorium and be seated."

Taking an empty seat in the centre column near the walk-way [aka the best seat], Ella spotted the main characters. At the very front was Crown Prince himself, with Cedric and Merula by his side. Knight-in-training, Damien was placed on the right column. [Gosh even from a couple of metres out, Merula is so pretty~. But I guess Damien becomes friends with Blaiz and Cedric at the academy. It should be easy to avoid these boys though]. Whilst waiting for orientation to start Ella gazed around the room, admiring the detail and intricacy. Whilst zoning out, a student had taken a seat right beside her.

[Ugh...I chose this row because it's empty].

Taking a look at the student beside her, she was met with a familiar face..and a grin.

"Boo~," Wulff said, almost purring.

Internally, Ella groaned. [Just act casual].

"Hello to you too, Wulff." She said sarcastically.

"Did you miss me?" He asked.

[Jesus, why did he dial up the flirting today? Shit, do I play it cool or do I go along with it? Right, I'm gonna flirt back]. She rolled her eyes.

"Actually, yes I did. I was quite lonely without you, but me and my mother had a good time exploring the city." Ella said blinking her eyes rapidly, imitating the sparkly anime girls.
