X-Loves: From Another World
Chapter 9: Welcome

A Portuguese-style city along the bay is clearly visible from behind the glass of the flying vehicle. Three to four-story buildings look solid from the beach to the mountain there. There are also several sailing ships that stop in the clean bay, as well as some ‘Layang’ that paced around the city. Yup, Welcome to Jailolo City, or perhaps more precisely it is said to be ‘Jailolo from the alternate world'.

This city is very beautiful and spoils the eyes of the tourists who visit there. And between as far as the eye can see, there are two largest buildings standing majestically in this city, the Jailolo National Magic Academy in the northeast and a football stadium-like building called Dukono Arena in the same region.

“This... stunning..” no other words can be expressed by Anna besides.

It is true that the cities in Indonesia in 2105 in the time of Alistair and Dwiana have been very advanced and modern. Glass-rise buildings are already in place throughout the provincial capital, even in several other urban districts. But his trip this time seems to bring him back to the urban style of the past that is quite traditional but elegant.

It landed on a river quite close to the location of the academy. After paying some coins, they walked towards the academy in the northeast while enjoying the beauty of the city and the passing community. Quite a lot of three to four storey buildings here are used as convenience stores, restaurants, or just a hotel or a small motel.

Not only the general public, it also looks like some prospective students and academy students are also walking towards the northeast. It only took them about 10 minutes until they were right at the academy's gate.

“Big once,” Anna revealed.

Unlike the academy in general, the gate of this academy looks like the entrance to a palace. The door rises 10 to 15 meters high. As for the right and left side towering red-colored fortress nether. They also entered the complex.

They were on the main veranda of the academy complex. There was a large fountain with clear water in the middle. Right in the area were also heard voices of people welcoming them, not from the old students, but perhaps from the teaching staff there.

“Welcome to prospective students and students of Jailolo National Magic Academy. Please for registration and confirmation of your student status at the front door to the guards, thank you,”

In addition, there was also the sound of traditional musical instruments that seemed to welcome their arrival. Maybe in the real world we know him by the name ‘Tifa Totobuang’, traditional music of Maluku.

Right in front of them was now a gate again, but guarded by a man in a dark red and black suit who was seen checking the identities of prospective students and schoolgirls. But unlike real-world identity checks, the man stuck a stick with a glowing tip on the forehead of the prospective students and schoolgirls.

“Come, Anna,” says Licia while pulling Anna's hand.

The man first checked Licia's identity.

“Licia Salampessy, you are enrolled in Ha Class and your dorm room is C-124. Please login.”

Hearing this, Anna begins to get nervous, fearing that anything will happen if her true identity is revealed.

“How is it?” he said in his heart.

A little nervous he was in check his identity. And the man said, too,

“Anna Sahilatua, you are enrolled in Class Ha and your dorm room is C-124. Please login.”

“Eh?” Anna is surprised, it turns out that her 'real' identity is not revealed here.

“Huff, Thank God, Beta thought nothing would happen here,”.

“Eh why Anna?” ask Licia.

“Nothing, let's find our dorm room. We're one room, right?” said Anna.

Their dorm room room is in building C with room code 124. It was a little difficult to find the room, but they finally managed to find it.

“Excuse me. Wow cool,” said Licia while opening the room.

After placing the bonsai by the window, Licia jumped onto her bed.

“Ah... finally arrived. And did not expect us to be in class and room again,” said Licia.

“Hehe... I also did not expect.” Anna said as she sat on her bed.

“Oh yes, so wonder tomorrow how we learn? What about tomorrow?” Ask Licia while excited.

“Yes where I know, I also just entered this academy,” Anna was confused.

“Ih... You are this..”.

“Hehe..”.

They rested for a moment before proceeding to the academy's environmental recognition activities. There is no orientation time here. The new students and students only follow the program of introduction to the academy environment, study methods, and course rules in one day. It did not feel like it was night and they were resting for the first day tomorrow.

...

Morning has arrived. Today is their first day of school. After a shower and breakfast, they prepare to go to class. But something stuck in Anna's mind.

“Eh, Licia. Wait,”

“Iya, Anna. What's up?” ask Licia while packing her school tools.

“Etoo, Anu... Should I wear this p-clothing?” asked Anna while holding her skirt.

It was the official uniform of the students of the Jailolo National Magic Academy. The model is like a combination of East Asian and Southeast Asian school uniforms. Her clothes are white with a red pattern in the collar and middle, while her skirt is red with a checkered pattern.

“Pastilah, that's our school uniform. Oh, yes, by the way you look so cute in that uniform,” Licia replied with a smile.

“Eh, Anu...” Anna is still nervous.

“Already, don't think too much. Let's go before it's too late,” said Licia excitedly. He locked the door and ran while pulling Anna's hand.

“Eh... Liciaaa..” cried Anna.

While it was different from what was said in his heart, he was quite annoyed as if by what had happened to him.

“Good, Beta is really full so girls in this world,”

Actually they were not too late to come to class, but Licia seemed to be worried about that. Finally they came to the doorstep of Class Ha.

“Huff... All right, we start,” Licia said as she took a breath.

“Hmm..” Anna nodded.

The classroom doors were opened. The first day of school began.
