The sword princess' tale

Volume 3 Chapter 4 - Selection of Studies

Leimburg Academy. As it looked like, it's a mammoth Academy where the students ranged from 5 to unknown. Because there's no restriction in ages, even an old man could enroll here as a student as long as he showed promising results.

The whole size of this Academy was a third of the Intermediate Layer of Raumia, and it possessed the necessary facilities for the students to be self-sufficient. There existed three main school buildings which differentiated the Courses in general with several smaller buildings as extension.

They each were respectively located in a fair distance between each other, and the dining hall was large enough to fill the whole student body which usually reached triple digits in numbers alone.

Other than that, an empty field wide enough to hold a large-scale martial arts tournament was placed next behind the main buildings. The purpose of it was for magic and combat training and annual school events or something similar to them.

Heck... even I had to move around while infusing a small amount of mana to reinforce my legs. Too much space and luxury were used in the making of the Academy. Well, at least I can get enough materials for me to train and I could easily fetch my medicine from alumni who built an apothecary near the school field.

"--Uhn. This actually looks nice."

I said in front of the mirror. Once I woke up and taking an early morning bath, I dried myself with a towel before I changed into the designated uniform for a Knight Course Student. It consisted of white shirts, a brown coat, a shawl and skirts with a pair of tights and boots. The quality definitely looked like no other as it was very comfortable when worn over.

Hmm...... This must be made of silk and cotton. But how did they produce such clothes so neatly and in large numbers as well? Also... did the Academy adopt this style according to another world heroes' knowledge?? If so, I really wanted to ask the designer to make myself a gakuran and P.E. clothes.

Of course... no bloomers. I don't want to humiliate myself more so when I am already conscience of my present identity as a girl.

...Come to think of it--there's my roommate who was still fast asleep even though morning had arrived for a while.

"Should I wake her up? But I don't really have any obligation to do it."

We did a glaring contest all night long and raising our suspicions as if ready to backstab each other should there be a slightest chance for it. In the end there was no winner because we both fell asleep due to exhaustion.

Then I heard a knock from outside of the room. I quickly went to open the door and... There was a loli standing beyond the door.

"Good morning, Ms. Charlotte Augmund." --the loli presented a graceful bow.

"G-good morning. And who might you be...?"

"Excuse me. My name is Chloe Ravensworth. I am at my second year in the Magic Course as you can see."

As you can see...? I couldn't clearly recognize any difference other than the color of her ribbon. Ah, could it be that the color change showed the difference between grades for the Mage Course students? Well, it did look gaudy unlike the Knight Course's which focused in versatility and freedom of movement.

"I... see....... then, what kind of business a senior such as Ms. Chloe would have to come all the way here...?"

The girl with honey brown hair and hazelnut eye color pointed at the space between me and the door. To be more precise, she was pointing at... Renleina?

"I've come to wake Ms. Renleina up. She usually stayed asleep at the morning."

"...Is it normal for a senior to wake her up?"
