Neforion Sky Express

Arrival At The Island Of Pearlest

'It's just the fourth day but it feels like we have been here for a long time...' Atia thought as she slowly writes some notes mid-class lead by Principal Julius.

"Alright, that is all for today, young adventurers..." the principal said as took his stick with him, walking towards the door. He then stopped on his tracks as Juno ran up to him.

"Sir, may I ask about something?" he started, low for the two of then to hear.

"And what might it be, Juno?"

"What will happen to... to Yum and Rob?"

"They are still in detention..." the aged man glanced at the young striker whose face expressed a genuine concern, "...but we won't expel them! After all, we can do a little overlooking on their offense!" Julius smiled.

"Then, they can join us later?" Juno asked.

"We'll see, young man..." Julius chuckled as he went outside. On his way down the corridor, he heard several words he had never thought would be, 'They are a lively bunch of friendly young people! I hope one day, they will become fine adventurers!'

Atia walked up the stairs, reaching the cafeteria with her usual book. She suddenly noticed a number of familiar faces seated right next to each, Eldas turned a friendly wave to her, "Hey! Over here!!"

'I guess I am a misfit!" Atia mentally smiled as she fasten her pace as she approaches their group.
"Everyone sure are gathering! What's the occasion?~" she playfully asked as she took a seat. Her eyes then met a pair purple eyes, she then noticed Serene who was seated in the same table as her.

"You're name is Atia, right? It's pretty much like everyone are inviting fellow C-As in this group-- it's quite odd yet fun~" Serene chuckled.

'This girl... she shares the same vibe as me!' Atia observed the archer, then turned to the nearby tables, observing her classmates, 'Come to think of it, it feels like it's pretty comforting around them...'

"Oh! They're here!" Serene and Ilich said simultaneously as everyone looked at the stairs, finding an obscure identification until the heads of Ymir and Robyn surfaced. Their hands were held by a strutting Eda.

"Look, I might be upset of having our class in the last place in the rankings but don't sulk just because of that! As much as I cared about my elder brother, I won't allow you to disgrace your own names bestowed by your elders..." Eda nagged at them as they reached the group.

Surprised by the actions of Eda, she smiled in confusion and glanced at Ilich who was at the different table, knowing that he can explain the noble's behaviour.

"Eda is known for her noble motherly counseling towards troublemakers, so it's not a surprise that she would wait until their detention..." he explained patting Atia's head.

The other students then glanced at the three first years, mostly viewing the two students. The other first years, a group of three second years, and several third years. Several whispers and murmurs errupted in the cafeteria, they were mostly degrading words.

"Well, while counseling is in session--" Atia stood from her chair and approached the cafeteria counter. From the corner of her eye, Eda made the two students sit with Austin and Lillian while she occupied the table where she, Serene, and Eren were seated.

Atia gave her three seatmates a smile as she walked past them, approaching the table where Austin and the others were seated. She then placed the chocolate cakes and apple juices on the table, shoving it towards Ymir and Robyn, "Consider these as my treat... for working hard..." Atia silently gulp as she feels cornered with confusion by her classmates.
