I Choose The Heroine's Route

23 Royal Academy

Standing in front of the gate of the Royal Academy, I let myself relax a little. The gate was huge, to say the least. It was literally made of gold, and in the middle of it, 'Royal Academy' was written, it was even surrounded by diamonds. It was even more beautiful than the gate at the Euridice territory, but I don't feel upset at all. Rather, I feel slightly smug and proud of it for no particular reason.

"Lady Aksia, I'll bring your luggage to your room." I looked at the coachman who's carrying two of my luggage. I simply gave him a nod and he vowed, "I wish you luck and please take care." he said before leaving.

Left alone, I decided to finally start walking. I entered through the gate with other nobles around my age.

Royal Academy is known as the best Magic school in the Lansera Kingdom. Actually, it was said to be too good and prestigious that even other people from all over the world are studying here as well – which is true, because some of the neighboring Kingdoms Prince and Princess are studying here, too. Even with all of that, the Royal Academy doesn't have that many requirements.

You don't need to be a noble to be able to enroll, anyone, even commoners, is allowed to study here as long as they have Magic and can meet the Academy's standards. In the Academy, each student must see and treat each other equally no matter what status they have.

The procedure of the enrollment isn't easy though.

We had to send a letter first asking for enrollment, then the Royal Academy would send a reply to you after two days with a test and a measuring device that is used to measure Magic – I also didn't know about this before since the game didn't really tell the players in detail how one can enroll at the Royal Academy. The test just contains questions about basic information about Magic.

And all I need to do to measure my Magic is to touch the measuring device. The device was very... simple looking. It... just looks like a transparent ball with a size smaller than that of basketball.

Fortunately, I was able to easily answer the test questions, and when I touched the measuring device, the transparent ball becomes no longer transparent – shadow surrounded it's exterior as the inside of it was slowly filled with pure black.

When both the test and measuring device are sent back to the Academy, it'll be a two day wait again to see if the Academy will accept you as a student. Fortunately, I did pass – and the Academy sent a map and a guide that tells us what the students would be doing on their first day. However, they didn't tell us what will be our class yet since it'll be announced at the Entrance Ceremony.

They also sent several uniforms, and I'm currently wearing one of them right now. Unlike other Magic School who doesn't require students to wear a uniform, Royal Academy has a rule about wearing the uniform is a must.

The uniform appearance reminds me of a rich school uniform, and it was very eye-catching. It was a plain black long sleeve with a white necktie, there's a pocket on the left chest and the Academy's logo can be seen on it – a white shield with gold on its side, diamonds are also surrounding it, and the letter 'RA' was engraved inside the shield with a sword placed in the middle behind the shield.

The collar of the long sleeves is also designed with gold leaves, the same with the cuff on both sides.

Although it's up to students if they will wear it or not, it also comes with a cloak. The style is similar to a collar shawl short cloak cape but it reaches down to my waist. It was pure black but the tie or ribbon is gold. There are also leaf patterns all over it and even though it was a cloak, it was short and was made so that the wearer can move easily.
