As I walked through a long hallway leading to my room, I met Aria whom I rarely saw. Her aura was a little stronger than the last time I met her at a student committee meeting.
Looking at his strength, I can guess that he has been working hard lately. Although she looked like a meek and helpless girl, she was a hardworking girl who willingly bit her teeth when she felt pain.
Aria was currently wearing a white coat which signified that she was a member of the student committee. When he saw me, he greeted me while bowing.
Philia:"Where are you going?."
I asked that because Aria was not heading to her room or classroom.
Aria:"Daughter, I'd like to submit some reports to the committee secretary."
Filia:"Oh, coincidence."
I took out a stack of papers that I had agreed on in the form of cards that depicted piles of paper and handed them to Aria.
Filia:"Please hand over all these files to the committee secretary and we'll discuss them at the afternoon meeting. To get the file out you just need to channel mana into it. Do you understand?."
Aria looked at the card back and forth like a curious child.
Aria:"Y, yeah... S, I understand, Princess."
Filia:"Good. See you later this afternoon."
I left and left Aria who was bowing towards me. As soon as I arrived at a turn, I met some noble children from the high class.
There was respect in their eyes because the noble position of my family was higher, but it did not hide their arrogance and sense of superiority as top-class students. The three noble children were made up of three men and two women.
Why do I know that they are noble children?. That's simple. Noble children like them would dress conspicuously and luxuriously to exhaust my eyes.
"Daughter, you need more than just the name Rosefield to convince everyone."
A boy spoke to me. Judging from his attitude, it seemed like he was a descendant of nobles who sought a face on one of the highest-ranking noble children among them. Well, you could say that he's just a little follower.
Filia:"A lackey and the Marquis' family are not worthy to teach me."
I said that to that annoying boy and to the son of a Marquis of the highest rank among them, then I left without seeing them more. In my heart I have decided that I will not be merciful to them in the arena of challenge tomorrow. They won't be able to run away from the match because I will make sure that they climb up the battle arena, either voluntarily or forcibly.
I'll show them the friendliest friendly match they'll ever forget in the near future.
Arriving at the room, I just lay down and saw some messages from Arkne in Helheim. The development in Helheim went very smoothly and another country managed to fall under the Moon Palace. In addition, there are some excellent talents that are accepted to study directly at Moon Palace.
In short, the news sent to me was good news. Merely, my order to find the various remnants of the ruins has not had any meaningful results. Many ruins have been found, but they are only ruins that were built after the time of Alterion. Although it also has many things that can be utilized, but it is only a few.
Not because the ruins of the relics of the Moon Palace were completely destroyed, but the ruins of the Moon Palace period had been buried too deep, so it was difficult to find them.
Well, let. I'm not in a hurry to find those things. There were not too many things that could catch my attention other than divine items or fragments from the nameless light sword and soul fragments from Teleia Vradia.
For the nameless sword of light, I have where one of its parts is, that is, in the royal treasure vault as a royal heirloom. I have to find a way to get it. But not now, I have to find the right time.
I just rolled around on the bed for a while until Mama knocked on my door.
Geck... Geck... Geck..
Harnas:"Darling, can I come in."
Philia:"Yes."
The door was pushed open while smiling at me. He walked slowly then sat down beside me while rubbing my head as usual.
Philia:"Has the talk finished?."
Harnas:"Yes, it was just chatting with an old friend, nothing special so it was done quickly."
Filia:"Then, is Mama going home now?."
Honestly, I feel a little lonely when Mama's going to be away from me.
Harnas:"It was like that, but when I came here, I saw the match announcement paper, so I'll stay the night. I want to see the greatness of my beautiful daughter."
Philia:"Yes. I'll definitely show you my best."
At first I would have thought that tomorrow's game would be boring. After all my opponent is only Zero, what can I expect?!. But since Mama supported me and wanted to see my good side, then I would be a little more serious.
.....
When chatting with Mama, without feeling the time is already afternoon. I should immediately go to the meeting place of all the student committees and discuss some matters with them. I left Mama in my own room and went to the meeting room with Ilma.
I met a lot of students who were wearing special uniforms of the student committee who also went to the meeting place. Today's meeting place is different from before which is only in a room.
This time the Student Committee had obtained permission to use building three to become the operation center of the Student Committee. In other words, the building was already completely under the student committee and under the supervision of the instructors.
The building is two-story with room directions on the first floor including a spacious lobby and eight rooms on the second floor. It can be said that this building is also very large. In front of the building there is a beautiful garden with wide roads and fountains.
On the way, in addition to the students and committee members, many instructors who today will also attend this meeting. In the building there are also many students and instructors who are checking the files in their hands that have been shared by members of the secretariat committee.
This meeting will be held in a multipurpose room on the second floor which is quite spacious and can accommodate many people. Actually the main room in this building is also quite large, but because it is functioned as a lobby, so it is somewhat inappropriate to have a meeting in the lobby.
As soon as I entered the meeting room, the others also followed behind and looked for their respective seats.
There were about forty chairs arranged parallel to the long table with twenty chairs on each side. I sat at the very end and Princess Sophia was next to me.
On the opposite side of me was a prince, then a row of students and instructors who took the most end positions because today they would only be supervisors.
"School head!."
When Mom entered the room, we all stood up and greeted her. Mother simply nodded and took a seat among the other instructors. In front of everyone there are already some files that I have approved and have been compiled by the secretariat division of the committee.
Philia:"Because everything is gathered, let's go straight to the point. First, is a special exchange place for students. Who proposed this?."
"S, I'm the Princess."
A female student who looked two to thirteen years old stood up. He was a first-year middle-class student who had already joined the student committee from the very beginning.
Filia:"Explain the proposal you sent me!."
"B, okay. While walking around the academy, I saw some students who were doing exchanges from different classes. So I thought of providing a special place for them to easily exchange and get what they wanted."
The student finished explaining and stood still until I nodded at him to give him a hint that he was done.
Philia:"Yes. I agree to that."
"What is such a plan. I don't think it's going to have much effect."
An instructor asked. This is the point of discussing all the problems together and resolving the confusion.
Philia:"Maybe people just think that it's just an exchange. But what if something they exchange is not a permitted thing in the academy."
"Do you mean illegal?."
Filia:"That's exactly. If we provide a place of exchange for students, we can also keep an eye on what they exchange. To that end, I've provided advanced files for the plan."
I waved my hand and in front of everyone appeared a few sheets of paper dense with writing. I've made that proposal and discussed it with Mama.
In the proposal, I wrote down how to carry out the plan. In the lobby of this building will be installed notice boards that can be filled by students about some tasks or something yes g they need.
For example, a student from the Alchemist Division needed a certain medicinal plant, so he only needed to make an announcement and stick it on the notice board in order to be seen by everyone. If anyone has that, then we will help them meet and talk about the deal. It was very simple but it could also control the movement of items within the academy.
Arsh:"Actually this is pretty good. I don't have to worry too much about an exchange that might be detrimental. But, what if they were to secretly exchange?."
Philia:"If they are found out, they will be punished. If previously the academy could not suspect students who were conducting private exchanges Since it was so common, then now if there was a private exchange clandestinely, it already strongly proved that their transactions were illegal. So, the academy can take immediate action."
This was not to eliminate personal transactions in the academy, but only to reduce the risk. After all, if their exchange did not break the rules, they would feel safer with the student committee that was the mediator.
"I..!"
A boy who also looked more mature raised his hand. He looked more mature and seemed to be from the upper class students who joined today. There were about five people as representatives of upper class students who attended this meeting.
Filia:"Please talk."
"If something like this were to be done, wouldn't it be too restrictive for students?."
Filia:"That's true. People go to academies because they have to learn the discipline and knowledge needed in the future. For that sake, it was inevitable that the academy would definitely curb their freedom. No human being is unfettered if they live in a civilized society for a better life together. If they want to be free, they can be wild men in the forest."
"I understand."
That person seemed to also agree to my words without much rejection. But I know that they're here not only to want to attend this meeting, but also about the challenge.
The discussion of this plan has ended because everyone has agreed to it. And if there is a shortage, it can be corrected after we can see the real implementation.
Filia:"If it has been determined, then we will proceed to the next discussion."
"It's about tomorrow's challenge. Are you sure you agree to this letter of challenge, Princess?."
A high-class girl representing upper-class students asked me. Because this is indeed related to them, so they are the ones who will discuss this matter.
Philia:"Yes. Is there something you need to tell me?."
"We haven't decided on the right challenge yet. As everyone knows, this academy is divided into several divisions that are experts in their respective abilities. So, we cannot decide what kind of challenges all Divisions can take part in. If it was a challenge to fight, then the forging division and enchantress division would not be a match because of their weak fighting abilities."
Well, I also understand the difficulty. Each division is an expert in its respective field, so it would be difficult if only one type of challenge.
Filia:"That's true. So, how do you think?."
"Each division put forward their own opinions. However, this was really hard to decide because the proposals they submitted were more skewed towards their respective divisions."
Philia: "Then I will accept all their challenges."
The room was silent and all eyes were staring at me. I know what they're thinking. But there is no better way to convince them than to hit them hard. The hardest blow for someone is when they are defeated by someone else in the field they are most good at.
"A, are you sure?."
Philia:"Yes. But, I want some kids to advance into the fighting arena."
"Can you tell me who those people are?."
I waved and a paper with several lists of names fell in front of the female student.
"It just so happened that they were children who were in the fighting division. So, I can arrange this."
I nodded with a smile towards him. I know that this girl has no dissatisfaction towards me.
This meeting discussed several more things including the structuring of the student committee. The student committee will be divided as before, but there will be representatives from each class.
After the meeting was over, the sky had already darkened, the omen of the night had already arrived. Rare snow floats between the skies, making the air temperature even colder.
Everyone started to disperse and went to rest. As I passed through the garden with Ilma, I saw someone familiar.
Filia:"Dad, why are you here."
I called my dad from behind. Next to my father was a man who was his personal servant. Dad looked at me with a slightly embarrassed face.
Rovell:"A, yes... I just wanted to confirm your mother's whereabouts. She hasn't come home yet, so I'm worried that something's happened to her."
I think Dad is worried about Mama. But, Mama is stronger than dad, then why is dad worried about her?. Well, maybe this is normal after marriage.
Filia:"Dad not to worry. Mama's sleeping in my room right now and Mama says she's staying tonight."
Rovell:"O, uh... Then I'll go home."
Dad will leave with his service soon. Before leaving, I could see the disappointed look on my father's face. I don't know why you made such an expression that I can't understand. I can read his mind, but I don't want to.
Philia:"Dad, be careful on the way."
Rovell:"Yes."
Father replied to me without turning around and continued walking towards the front page of the academy. After father disappeared from my sight, I also went to rest.
My mom is still asleep in my bed. His sleeping face looked very calm. But as I approached, her eyelashes trembled slightly and Mama woke up. His eyes are bluish-colored toska open slowly, coupled with the sparkle of clear tears, Mama's eyes look beautiful like turquoise that was just opened from a jewelry box.
Harnas: "Darling, are you back?."
Mama asked me while rubbing her still tired eyes.
Philia:"Yes. Just got back."
I changed my clothes into pajamas and went to lie next to Mama. Mama grabbed me into her blanket and went back to sleep hugging me. It's very warm.
Unknowingly, I began to fall asleep in her only and comfortable embrace.
.....
When I woke up the next day, I found out that Mama had woken up earlier than me, but she kept lying in bed holding me and would occasionally play with my hair.
Harnas:"Good morning, baby."
Filia:"Morning, Ma."
As soon as I woke up, my mother got out of bed. It didn't take long for the two of us to clean up and have breakfast. Today Mama will not go to the palace because she wants to see the challenge this afternoon.
Not only Mama, but dad will most likely also attend later.
As I headed to the principal's office, I saw many students passing by while talking about the challenge this afternoon. The academy looked a little more crowded after the return of the upper class students from their wild training.
Arsh:"Filia, Nana, good morning."
Filia:"Good morning, ma'am."
Arsh:"How are you ready?."
Philia:"Yes. I'm always ready "
Arsh:"Then let's go."
The four of us left the principal's office and headed straight for the arena. The first challenge was from the fighting class, so I became a little excited.
Arriving at the arena, the four of us split into two groups with me and Ilma together. We went to the preparation room, while Mama and Mama would go to the venue that had been provided. From the dressing room, I can hear the crowd in the arena.
The arena in the academy is shaped like a circular stadium with an arena in the middle and surrounded by spectator seats. In the four cardinal directions there is a special venue reserved for nobles and instructors when they attend an event in the arena of this academy.
Ilma:"Daughter, don't you want to wear armor?."
Filia:"No need."
"Daughter of Philia, everything is ready."
A middle-year student told me that all the preparations in the arena had been completed including the opponents who were already waiting.
(The end of this chapter.)
I wrote this chapter in installments for some business. Ii'm sorry...
Hey, it's 01:00 already. I really didn't realize it. I'm going to rest, so today's chapter is only here. See you next time.
