I Choose The Heroine's Route

28 To The Training Center

The next day after the Royal Academy's Entrance Ceremony – which I could easily mistake as a dream, I woke up early. Yesterday, the Ceremony started in the morning as well, around 9 AM, and ended in the afternoon. All I did after arriving at the dorm was simply to organize my room, belongings, and such which took me about a few hours to do.

Then after that, I ended up sleeping at around 11 PM, and now, it's 6:46 AM. When I woke up, I was honestly tempted to just stay on the comfy king-sized bed for the whole day. Unlike in the Euridice Dukedom, there's no one here who would wake me up or tell me what to do for the sake of keeping up a noble lady's appearance and routine.

I might have just done that if I didn't remember that I have a place I need to go to today.

So despite still feeling a little sleepy, I got up from the bed to prepare, changing from my sleepwear to the Academy's uniform. Even though the classes have not officially begun yet, it's still mandatory to wear it as long as you're inside RA unless you're about to go out somewhere outside RA, with proper permission, of course.

Once done with the preparation, I immediately went to the dormitory's lobby, and saw a few female students chatting there and doing their own thing.

"Look, those humans are already being buddy-buddy with each other while you're still all alone." Gaos said as I made my way out of the building, planning on heading to the Training Center. There was no need to bring the Academy's map with me since I had already memorized the way to the Training Center last night.

Only the way to Training Center though, as for the other buildings... I'll still have the time to memorize and explore those places.

"There's nothing wrong with being alone. Besides, those girls might have already known each other for a long time." – Aside from them knowing each other even before meeting one another at the Academy, there's a possibility that those girls are actually 2nd or 3rd-year students already. No one can really tell unless asked or told since the girls dormitory isn't divided based on the year that students are in.

"Right, right, say whatever you want, doesn't change the fact that you are alone." Gaos continues, and I chose to not just say anything back this time because if I don't stop, this will just become an endless and pointless argument. Well... as I said, I don't mind being alone. Sometimes, some people would think that when a person is alone, they're lonely. However, that's not always the case.

There are people who value their alone time greatly, and it's also important to have a peace of mind every now and then. In the end, it all depends on the person.

Walking on the way to the Training Center, I couldn't help but also glance at the things and buildings I passed by. The RA as a whole is really a humongous place. Perhaps it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that one could get lost and never find their way back again to where they originally were – that's how huge it is.

It's almost like an island, but at the same time, it's not since it's located in the Lansera Kingdom, specifically in its Capital which is Illira City.

If there was one word that I would use to describe Royal Academy, it would be 'beautiful'.

For me, this is a beautiful place, one where I would be taking my 1st step of learning more about the Magic that I'm quite obsessed with, a place where I'm hoping to discover more about myself and perhaps help me to really think more about how I want to live my life in the future once I finally have all the freedom that I need.

Maybe now I am still quite unsure about my goal other than my obvious interest in Magic and desire to live a life free of any shackles.

I did wish for death and a new beginning – a chance for myself to have and live a life where I could truly feel happy or satisfied with.
