Gorgeous Jewel
Chapter I Chapter 17

"Oh yes Mary. You can take a break or do whatever you want during my lesson." Alice said as Mary helped her get dressed. Mary thought for a moment by putting her index finger under her chin. "It seems I don't have anything important to do miss." The reply.

"really? Maybe you'll find him while you're going around the academy."

"All right, I'll try it later."

After getting dressed and preparing the learning tools. Alice headed towards the academy building. Alice deliberately left earlier than the other students, in addition to not attracting attention, she could enjoy the atmosphere of dawn and fresh air of morning dew. Alice also peeked at some of the places she would later study.

While he was standing while looking at the academy floor plan. Suddenly someone accidentally hit him. The man had been carrying a pile of tall boxes to block his view.

The boxes fell and clothes and some other items were slightly scattered out of the boxes.

"Ma.forgive me." Clumsily the girl tidied her stuff back into the box. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Alice was silent for a moment and looked at that familiar face. "Oh. I'll help you." Soon he helped her pick up the girl's belongings.

When he handed over one of his things. The two met and met face to face.

The girl was shocked to see Alice. "You-you...Alicia?"

Alice tilted her head slightly in surprise "Yes...I'm Alicia?"

"B-but..haven't you been taken out? Is it true that you're Alicia from the Strongfort family." The girl began to lose her smiling face and grew even more panicked.

"Yes. That'sme. Alicia Lein Strongfort is out."

The two began to remember their faces. With so much reproach and persecution Alice once did make her chest feel heavy. Meanwhile, Alice herself felt bad for the girl in front of her. He once pushed her into a fountain, threw away some of her clothes and ruffled her books.

Alice suddenly got up, causing the girl to be shocked. "Eh?Wh-what is he going to do? Will I ever be tortured again?" Thought scared. With her family status, there was no one who dared to resist when Alice hurt them. The girl thought that maybe she survived the academy, but what about her family or when she graduated.

Unfortunately, his suspicions were inversely proportional. Alice sat in the same position as him. He took the girl's hands. "Really, I apologize deeply."

Huh uh?! The girl could barely keep her jaw on hearing Alice's apology.

Alice then helped him up, took one of his boxes and thrust it at the girl. "I know I've done you a lot of wrong, but I beg you to forgive me." He said while bowing his head.

The girl was confused. What the hell's going on? Was the one in front of her the same Alice? What time two months it can make people turn 180° like this? Many questions suddenly popped into his head.

"Tu-wait a minute. I don't know where to start." The girl came back awkward and confused. He glanced left and right because he did not know how to look at Alice. He hopes someone can show up and help him.

"So...How can you forgive me?" Once again Alice asked gently to make the girl's attention again fixated on him.

"Hmm.yeah." He answered slowly as he nodded.

A warm embrace he suddenly got from Alice that made him startle. "Even the old Alice would never touch me. He always looked down on me and was disgusted just because our castes were so different. I really don't know what happened." Benak the girl.

"Because you've forgiven me. Here I help."

" Oh yeah. Again, I want to introduce myself. I'm Alicia Strongfort the first daughter of the Strongfort family. You can call me Alice."

"I'm Latina. From a simple family and you can call me Tina if you like it."

"Of course Tina's happy to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too Alice."

The two exchanged warm and friendly introductions. In her heart Latina felt that she could be familiar and be friends with Alice. He was even amazed by Alice's radiant face and the warm smile she gave him.

The two laughed softly after they met.

After the big bell rang which indicates the lesson hour has begun. Alice walks after a female teacher who will take her to her class.

The noise of the students chatting could still be heard from the corridor outside the classroom.

When the female teacher opened the door. Dozens of pairs of eyes watched the graceful and charming figure that was behind him. The girl looked over and gave them a smile. No, no, even some women seem to fall for her.

Smooth skin radiant, cute face with small pink lips and nose and eyes that provide freshness like a vast blue sea makes it difficult for people to turn their eyes.

"Ehhem!" The teacher made the enchanted disciples come back to their senses.

In her heart Alice laughed. "Well....Basic children. As handsome as you are, you're still too early for me. Back after another hundred years." His mind. The concept of human age is different. Magic does not make you immortal, although making you young is certainly a reward that must be paid. Because she has lived for hundreds of years, Alice does not even look at them as men let alone the trauma of the past when she was betrayed is still in her head.

Talk about magic. The teacher scrunched her Eyebrows at Alice. It was as if Alice was carrying enchantment magic but she realized, with her beauty anyone might find it hard to resist.

"Relax students. I'll introduce a new student this time."

The students started to get noisy in his place. Isn't the timing wrong? Students from where? Will the winter tournament be okay? And that's their discussion.

"I know what you're thinking. But this time it's different. He's not really a new student, just because of a problem, he has to stay home and have to study private."

The trouble? Not a new student? Is he sickly? I never saw him but....

"Shut up!" The teacher's firm rebuke made the class calm again. "Please introduce yourself." The teacher gestured with her hand at Alice.

"It's nice to meet you guys. I'm Alicia Lein Strongfort or Alicia."

HAAAHS?!

Bummer. The students in the class were compactly surprised after they heard the girl introduce herself. Their smiles and curiosity suddenly faded.

And once again Alice laughed in her inner "Fun.."
