Our Life
First day at the Academy

First day at the Academy

When my consciousness returned. I was in a room. My head felt heavy at that moment. Outside the closed room I heard Princess laughing with someone. I'm guessing that it was Dad. Shortly after, the door of the room opened.

"You're aware, son, how are you feeling?" Dad came up to me immediately while giving me a glass of water.

"I feel dizzy... What the hell happened to me?" I asked.

When I thought Dad would answer, Dad just stared to the side scratching his nape. "Dad doesn't know either. But you have to be careful, your emotions can make you uncomfortable."

Dad obviously knows something. But he didn't say anything to me. And it seems he had no intention of saying it. "Master!"

Ah, that excited scream. How could I forget it? That must be Xinfey. But I don't know why I feel the presence of someone else. The moment Xinfey entered the room, I was able to see the silhouettes of others. It was a person with red horns and scales.

"Master! This is my friend, his name is Ardan. He is also a dragon. I'm the Lightning Dragon and he's the Fire Dragon." Xinfey introduced with a smile.

"Hello Tu -"

"If you want to come call me Master, please forget about it. Overcoming one Xinfey alone is enough for me. Please call me Aris." I interrupted Ardan who was about to speak.

Princess jumped into my arms. "Are you okay now?"

"Yes. How is the registration process?"

Xinfey immediately replied. "That's great. But since Master is unconscious, you missed the Registration Test."

Xinfey sounded disappointed at the end. "How many days have I been unconscious?"

The three men of different ages looked at me and opened their mouths. "Sunday."

Oh my... That week has been outrageous. It means I missed a lot of fun! Even my Junior farewell. "L-it looks like I missed a lot of things huh?"

I'm a little sad actually. "Yes, but don't worry. The academy has not yet begun. It starts tomorrow. This is our hostel, dorm number 13. Since Aris missed the orientation period, Aris has to stay with me or Xin if she wants to go."

Beyond a doubt, this kid named Ardan is friendly and familiar to everyone. Princess jumping. "But you can also ask me! I've already memorized the places in the Academy!"

I saw Xinfey glancing at Princess. "He even marked places where plants like vegetables or fruit were grown."

Princess laughed awkwardly. It seems like the people here are able to hear Princess's sentence. "That's my mark for your health! Master will get taller and better looking if I give him fruit."

I just rubbed the cat's head. But I still feel something that seems to be hidden. I feel like everyone in this room knows everything about me. No, knowing something I don't.

"really? I feel like I missed something. Are you hiding something from me?" I look at their faces one by one. They just give a smile. But I feel well the nervousness they feel.

I got off the bed. The three men were still silent with no intention to speak. "I think you know you can't hide anything from me. Even though I don't know what it is now, I'm going to dismantle it one day."

Then I stepped towards the door. Even though I was a little weak, I could still walk. "Where do you want to go?"

That was Princess. "I want to go to the toilet."

My stuff seems to have been prepared by Dad. This dormitory is more like a tiny house with three rooms, one living room, one kitchen, and one bathroom. The three of us had already split the task of cleaning the house or cooking food.

Today Ardan's cooking schedule. Xinfey and Princess were busy telling me that Ardan's food was delicious. So, when I was in uniform, and came to the living room, Princess jumped on my shoulder excitedly.

Today is my first day and we are all to become students of the academy. Ardan said a healthy breakfast was important. So he prepared a fruit salad for us. I don't think there's anything interesting about fruit salad.

Breakfast went quickly. After locking the door, the three of us and the Princess walked towards the classroom. On the way, Xinfey said that he had enrolled me in the human class of the 'Defense' subclass'. Ardan and Xin are in the Devil class. We are not class. But Xinfey said that Princess knew the way, so I just had to follow Princess's direction.

Xinfey also tells that the Academy aims to help users of special abilities to control their power. Each class is shaped based on race. I certainly got into the human class, the human-capable class. The class is also divided again according to each ability.

I don't think I need this class. But since the mystery of my identity is still unknown, I need to stay here longer. A place where there is a parallel world that can be explored this, must be hiding a secret.

"Sir, that's his class." The princess sitting on my shoulder pointed at a room with her front paws. I nodded, then entered the classroom.

I can feel many pairs of eyes glancing at me or looking at me. I took a seat in the back so as not to attract attention. "Master! They're staring at us!"

Princess is nervous. But I'm sure what they saw wasn't me, but Princess. Little cat and teenage boy, it's an almost impossible combination actually. The princess was too cute and attracted the attention of the crowd. And I'm the kind of person who doesn't like to attract attention.

So I buried my face between my hands that were placed on the table. It's like I'm sleeping, but I'm not. Princess moved into my head and it seemed like she was sleeping too.

"Just ask him..."

"Come on, we're sitting by his side."

"But he's sleeping."

They whispered probably because they were afraid to wake me up. But I actually heard their whispers. This sucks, the teacher hasn't come yet.

Then suddenly someone knocked on my shoulder a few times. "Hm?"

I'm staring. He was a man whose age might not be far from me. Or maybe we are the same age. But he's a little short for a man's size. "Greetings. I'm Ray, may I know what your name is? I didn't see you during orientation."

"I'm Harist Fernada. I couldn't attend Orientation because I was sick. Now I'm getting better." I answered just then.

"Is that a Cat Spirit?" The young girl sitting in front of me asked.

I nodded as Answer. "Name Princess."

I took the Princess down from my head. I saw Princess's tail perpendicular to the ceiling. He's clearly happy. "Hello! I'm Princess!"

The girls gathered around the Princess. It's normal for them to like cute little cats, right? In an instant, the Princess had become an artist among the female disciples. In this place everyone can understand what the Princess said. It made the girls very happy with the Princess.

Shortly after, a male teacher who was not far from my father came. At first I thought Dad would be the homeroom teacher in this class. When the teacher sat down in his chair. The princess climbed on my shoulder again and the girls respectfully paid attention to her teacher.

"Stand grak!" A man sitting in front said.

All students stand up. Ray whispered that I should follow his cue. "Good morning sir!"

The other disciples immediately followed the disciple. I also went to follow the disciples.
