ALL NOVEL First day of school
It was the first day of school. Other than the usual school outfit, I made sure to weak black gloves to protect my hands. I am a delicate lady, after all. It was a simple day, all we had was the opening ceremony by the auditorium then orientation within the classroom. I was currently with the principal in her office.
“Emilia, I do not have to do anything in the ceremony right?”
“None, mistress. The one is doing a speech are the prince, the valedictorian, and the school president.”
“Why does the prince have a speech?”
“It has been tradition that if there is a member of the royal family attending, they have the option to conduct a speech if they wish to.”
“I see. Does that mean that I also have that option?”
“Of course, mistress.”
“Hmm, seems dull. No thank you. Since I am not needed, I will be skipping this opening ceremony.”
The principal has a weary smile on her face.
“Is there a problem?”
“No, mistress. Please feel free to skip it.”
“Good, is there any events planned within the month?”
“There will be a team-building exercise at the end of the month.”
There it is. In the game, there would be an event every month. It was the perfect opportunity to raise your love with other characters.
“And what is it?”
“The school has not yet decided. We change it every year so that the upper classes cannot give details. Please be relieved that once the school has decided, I will be informing you of the details.”
“Good, you may go now, you have a ceremony to attend.”
The principal left as I remained in my office.
“Sylvia, did you see red hair earlier?”
“Yes mistress. She was looking around and glaring at people.”
“She will be my new toy. Make sure to not hurt it, okay?”
My maid frowns. Is she jealous? How cute. I stand up and leave. There were a few unused classrooms in the school. I memorized where they were to use them when I need to. As the ceremony ended, the commoners were the first ones to arrive. I spotted red hair. I waited for her to look at my direction. As she does so, I show her a wonderful sign. A sign of a middle finger upright with all other fingers folded. She was confused at first but when she saw who I was, anger flashed through her face.
“BASTARD!”
Her sudden shout surprised the people but they were not close enough to care. I guided her towards an unused classroom and waited for her to arrive.
“There you are.”
“What the hell do you want?”
“I was just greeting an acquaintance.”
“That’s a hell of a greeting that you have.”
“It’s one I specially made for you, red hair.”
“I AM NOT RED HAIR! MY NAME IS-“
“Red hair, of course.”
She stood shocked as I interrupted her.
“I do not need to know your name. Maybe someday I will allow you the privilege of sharing it with me. Until then, you are nothing more than Red hair.”
“Fine. I don’t wanna tell you my name anyway. So, what do you want?”
“I see that you have cleaned yourself up. Does that mean you agree to be mine?”
“Hah? Who the hell wants to be yours anyway? Hell no, I don’t know what kind of thing you want to do but I don’t want any part of it.”
“Oh? How sad.”
“Hey, you’re a noble right?”
“Why do you think so?”
“Really? You have to ask? Your attitude! Your maid! Your words! Its so obvious!”
“Wow, we have a real detective in our hands. Good job, Red hair.”
“Damn, you’re so annoying.”
“You know, Red hair. There is something that has been bothering me for a while.”
“Hah?”
“It is like there is something missing.”
“Is your head on correctly?”
“Oh! I get it now!”
Red hair looked confused as I get closer to her. I move the cup of water I have been hiding behind me and I pour it over her head.
“There we go. You looked much better when you were drenched.”
Her shocked expression turns to anger and I see her body burning with fire.
“Sylvia, run.”
Without saying a word Sylvia picks me up and runs away.
“BASTARD!”
That was the last we hear as we run. Playing with her is so fun. I do wonder why I decided to leave it to the minions? Oh, I was scared and weak. I forgot. The me now seems to have no fear. The only reason I am being somewhat careful is to evade early bad ends. I do have some plans that I need to do before the end of my story.
“Let us do some introductions.”
I was late to my class on purpose. Even with my reputation, some people might have wanted to talk to me. How dull. But I did promise the principal to save her some face so here I go. My maid and I entered the classroom. We walked over to our seats, they were beside each other.
“Are we doing introductions? Then here is mine to get it out of the way. I am Athena Eterna, I trust that I do not need to explain further? All of you should know who I am. Be grateful that I even allow all of you to listen to my introduction. The one beside me is my maid, Sylvia Eterna. Whoever dares to mess with her, messes with me. Is that understood? Good, you may continue to do what you were doing.”
I could see a lor of frowns on my classmates faces. Even the male protagonist, hello male protagonist. I am not interested in you, please do not bother with me. I already know that this simple wish will not be granted but I still wish for it nonetheless.
“Okay, let us continue with the introductions.”
I closed my eyes and ignored all of them. I will only learn their name if they are interesting enough. Ah, what a great way to start my school year.
