"Hey, are you new to Sumeru? I can help you if you want."
You quickly turn around to find a lovely lady. She seems to be wearing a sort of costume, due to the curled horns and pale blue clothing, clothing that doesn't seem to be the norm in the city.
"Oh, hello." You respond with a smile
The lovely lady smiles back, "Hello, I'm Nilou. Are you new to Sumeru?"
"Yeah, I am. I am actually looking for the Akademiya. Do you know where it may be located?
The bright smile that Nilou had on her face slightly faded when you mentioned the Akademiya. "The Akademiya...Are you, perhaps a new student by any chance?"
"I am actually"
Nilou stays silent for a moment. It seems like she was stunned and a bit...saddened. "I do know where the Akademiya is, but if you don't mind, could you answer me a simple question?.... What do you think about the arts?"
You thought about it for a moment until you finally answered, with a smile, "I find art to be rather beautiful."
Nilou's smile brightens, "It is beautiful...Alright, I'll show you where the Akademiya is. Follow me."
You smile and start following Nilou.
The simple question, the saddened smile. There was something linked in there that you just couldn't understand. What was it about the Akademiya that made her feel like she needed to ask that question?

After some time, Nilou and you arrive at the entrance of the Akademiya. At the entrance of the door, your heart started to pound faster from the nerves. You were finally here, at the Akademiya, the school of your dreams! You had your ups and downs, but you were finally here!
You turned your head towards Nilou and smiled, "I appreciate your help."
Just when you were about to open the door to enter The Akademiya, Nilou spoke to you with a hopeful tone. "Hey, before you go, may I ask for your name?"
"My name is Y/N", You respond with a smile.
"Nice to meet you Y/N," Nilou smiles, "You said you find art beautiful, right? I have a performance at The Grand Bazaar tonight, and I would be more than happy for you to attend."
A performance? You were never able to go to a performance in Inazuma before. Well, probably because no one really invited you to go to one with anyone. Even so, this is a very nice opportunity for you. Your first-ever live performance!
"Sure! I would love to!"
With a smile on Nilou's face, she waves goodbye, "Then I'll see you tonight"
And with that, she left, leaving you with an excitement that not even one single bad news could destroy!
... Right?
You look at the huge doors in front of you, the doors that lead to the Akademiya. With a deep breath, you finally open the doors. The doors revealed a calm scenery, with many scholars talking to one another and with an elegant fountain in the middle of the room. You start to walk and glance around the room. You could have never imagined something as elegant, as fancy, and as organized as this room.
You were glancing around when suddenly, you notice a familiar character, stopping your gaze.
"What?!"

First off, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR 1.5 k VIEWS!
Secondly, I apologize for not uploading any chapters for over a month. I know this chapter was short, but I was stuck in the middle of the chapter, and I was also researching more about the Akademiya. I was also researching the personalities of every character from Sumeru, and it has taken me a while. I have two full pages full of notes! Hehe
I really appreciate you all who are enjoying my story, I really do. I hope you all have a great day, night, or afternoon... And also, those of you saving up for Arlecchino, good luck on your pulls!
