Chapter 7 - Chapter 4: Life in Class

The next day,.....

(Claire's POV)

I woke up early this morning. It was already pass 7 and I am about to open the door.

Claire:(Should I surprise Lily?or I knock her room?Hmm....this getting exciting).

I am early today cuz I want to meet Lily. But,....

(Claire opens the door and it shockingly surprise her.)

Claire:Wah?!

(Lily raise her white board with a Morse Code saying Good morning.)

Claire:Lily?!

Lily:❓

(Lily tilt her head)

Claire:You've surprised me. You seem woke up early. Too bad,I plan to be the first one to greet you first. By the way good morning.

_▪▪▪|▪_▪|▪|▪_|_▪_|▪▪_▪|▪_|▪▪▪|_

Claire:(sigh)

Lily:❓

Claire:You were also the first one to invite me to eat breakfast.

Lily: ▪_▪▪|▪|_|▪▪▪ , ▪|▪_|_

(LETS EAT)

Claire:Yes,you are right. Let's go.

(Then the two of them head to the dining hall to eat lunch).

Claire:By the way Lily I make you wait

to long?

Lily: ▪▪|_|▪▪▪ , _▪|_ _ _|_|▪▪▪▪|▪▪|_▪|_ _▪

(ITS NOTHING)

Claire:Why would I believe that? You woke up even before the sun sets,you know?

Lily show again her board with the same written on it.

Claire:It looks like it doesn't really matter to you.

After that the two of them finish eating and head to the main hall of the lecture building. That where the classes of the students are posted in.

Uproaching in was so crowded so it will took some time to see their names closer.

Claire:The crowd was pretty tight. Lily just wait me there on that corner.

I go and look what section we are in.

Lily: _▪▪▪|▪▪_|_ (But)

Claire:Don't worry!I can handle it myself so just stay there and wait, okey?

Lily then nods. Even she feels worried she still keep her expressionless face.

Lily:(I remember this scene before.

In this part the heroine struggled from the crowd when she's looking for her name. The crown prince saw her so he help her out. Since it was the prince the crowd give a way. The Prince doesn't need to look his name on the board cuz it was already specially announced to him before hand.)

Claire:Lily?!

Claire then quickly approach Lily.

Claire:I already found our names and you know what's the good news?!

Lily: ❓

Claire:Luckily we are on the same class! Aren't that a good news?!

Lily: ▪▪|_▪|_▪▪|▪|▪|_▪▪ (Indeed)

Claire:OMG! I look forward studying with you!Let's of our best this year!

Lily just nod.

Then the two of us head to the classroom hallway. On our way we spot that annoying prince and it looks like her bitch fiancee was clinging to her. I wonder what Lily's reaction is.

(Claire look to Lily)

W-what?I see so Lily have really no expression,huh? I wonder what happened to Lily?She show no sign of expression whatever the topic is,....

unlike "that" time.

Claire:The hallway was pretty crowded,right? We're lucky that we came up early so that even those bitches took sometime we can still manage to get in class.

No response,huh? I guess this is what to be expected,huh? Well no one wanted to interfere the crown prince and lady Shutselia since they have more power than us. Except for,....

Claire look to Lily.

Liliane von Rosenberg from the House of Rosenberg. It is the only family in this empire to be given the title of "von" in this generation. Their family have more influential power and prestige than the House of the Duke. So Liliane would be able to stop those lovers.

Will you cut this off Lady Agrient?!

The clingy of the lady Shutselia stops when the crown prince raised his voice. The crown prince then followed that by shrugging away from Shutselia.

William:Lady Agrient, we are on the hallways and there are many students who wanted to go to their classes. As the student council president I've order you to stop this instance!

Due to the scolding of the prince the crowd starts to create murmur and talking about Shutselia.

Shutselia: Oh my,I didn't know that my beloved fiancee wants us to have our own privacy.

William:⁉️

Claire:(That bitch!Doesn't she have no shame?!The prince is already making her a warning!)

(Claire POV)

The intensity from the chattering of the crowd come increasing. Some are already talking bad to Shutselia.

Even so,Shutselia keep blabering things about their relationship with the prince and how the prince and her love each other.

William: ......Is that enough?

Shutselia: What are you talking about my prince?Do you really want to share more about our love?

William: Be quiet.

Shutselia:❓So prince yo-

William: Lady Agrient will you stop already? Because until my last breath,

I will never love you,Even once.

Shutselia:⁉️

William: I excuse myself.

Then the prince have left. Shutselia tries to follow him but the prince just give her a killing gaze.

Claire:Finally,The path was clear. That clingly duke daughter as really troublesome. We should avoid that bitch if we want to have a peaceful life.

Lily just stay silent then she proceed on continue walking. Claire followed her from behind. The two of them proceed heading to the classroom.

They briskly headed inside the school building.

The school building was beside the lecture building. A three story stone building, it was made to be quite a large structure.Lily and Claire's  classroom was on the second floor. They kept theur brisk pace walking through the hallways.

The Lecture Building is the building where the laboratories,library, nursery and other school facilities located while the school building was mainly for classrooms only. Later on the two of them reach their classroom  they went inside and there are already few students filled the seat of the classroom. The middle row was already occupied but some parts in the front was still not and there are some available seats on the back too.

The desk seat in the classroom is for a 3 person. In the class the students are mixed from nobles to merchants and commoners. Only the dorms separate then but in class and even in the school everyone are treated equally.

The Dormitory and Cafeteria is the only place where nobles are separated from commoners so other facilities are available to everyone.

Claire:Let's sit beside each other Lily.

I let you choose to where you want to seat.Im fine whenever you wanted to choose.

Lily:(In two options Ofcourse I choose the back to avoid attention. However it be bad from my reputation as a student council if I am far from the professor.This is though).

Claire:(Even Lily didn't show any expression I can sense that she is on though position.If that's the case.) Lily just choose the seat that will make you comfortable. It's doesn't matter to where it would be atleast you are comfortable with it,right?

Lily:⁉️

Lily picks up her white board.

Claire:(Oh?!She already decide.)

Lily: _▪▪▪|▪_|_▪_▪|_▪_ (Back)

Claire:Oh?! Then let's go!

The two of them sit on the back seat near the window that you can see the view of the garden.

Claire:What a pleasant view. This makes me want to study hard!

I know that I can understand Morse code since this was our way of exchanging letters in our estate that is why I'm used to it but why does Lily use it instead of proper alphabet?I wonder why?

Claire:Hey,Lily-

Claire wad about to ask Lily but she got interrupted when their homeroom teacher have come.

"Restrain yourselves!"

A loud voice makes the class alert and tied them up for the class.

Claire:(This surprised me!It wasn't class time yet so why was the professor we're already here?!)

"Now that you stay put I hope that no one was already making a commotion. My name is Lindel Kanzack and I will be your homeroom teacher till the end of the school year!Do you understand?!"

Lindel Kanzack also known as the youngest professor in the history.

After graduating as a top student he is quickly invited to work as a professor.He is born to be a commoner who become a scholar but he is even offered to work at the royal palace due to his knowledge.

He is very young but been respected even by the elders. He is known as genius and a prodigy of education. He is only 5 years apart from our age. Many girls are easily due to his extravagant look and slender with slightly muscular figure.Even he was born to be a commoner he have a different looks to compare with. Silver hair and warm purple eyes. Many girls were gonna easily fall for him. However the bad thing about him is his personality. Cold, Strict and Heartless. Those are his personalities.

He have no interest to anyone and only focus much to his work. He is a Biology and Mathematics teacher. He is the first known professor which were able to handle and manage two subjects that is why he is the prodigy of all.

His loud vouce surprised everyone that is why they gave no response.

Lindel: Do you not have voice?! I repeat do you understand?!

Everyone: Yes sir!

Claire:(Eh?! Is that Lily's voice?! Do I really hear her speak?!)

Claire suspiciously stare to Lily.

Lily:What?

Claire:Eh?!

Claire made a shock expression when Lily speaks.

Is this for real?!Lily can speak?! No she really speaks!

Lindel: Good! Now you guys wonder why I came up early,right? It's because I don't want to be late and, since I am not late. You guys should come early than me,Is that clear?!

The professor suddenly throw his professor stick to the door where some students in his class only now came to enter.The students outside went surprised.

Lindel: So are you guys just gonna stand there?

Students:Ah?!

The students again got surprised and later on they realize it.

Late Students:Um, we're really sorry!

Lindel then approach those students.

Lindel:Be happy that it was just your first time but if ever that you be late again, remember that I'll no longer give another chance. Is that clear?!

Late Students: We understood.

Claire:(That was pretty scary. We're lucky that we came early).

Lindel: It's good that you understood.

Then he let the students to cone inside.

He then give a cold killing galore to the other students from the other class outside. This makes them nervous and quickly head to their respective classes.

Lindel: Whatever your family status is or whichever family you came from. I gave up tolerance to anyone.

This academy is made with a policy of equality. So that is why!I treat you to who you are! IS that clear?!

Everyone:Yes!

It seems like he can make Lily speak too. How terrifying.I better do good to his class. I'm glad that we came early and pick the back seat. Hmm,....but the ball have already ring just now but the seat beside me wasn't still filled. I heard that this class was entirely filled. I wonder we're the missing person is.

It was the only and last seat that wasn't occupied. It looks like professor Lindel paid no mind about it as he continue to start his lecture.

Lindel: My criteria for grading is for a complete fairness. I grade you based from what your performance in my class is. First of all let's start with your introductions.

Then the students introduce themselves one by one. Lindel seems serious when hearing their introductions. He's observing them by their behaviour. After all there are some students who proudly booze their family honours to look down the commoners and merchants in the class. The introduction them came to Claire.

Claire: My name is Eclaire Amour but you may just call me Claire. I am happy if you called me like that.

I give my all!My introduction won't look bad to professor nor to the commoners in class so I'm sure I be fine.

Lindel:Next.

The next one after me is Lily. I am the one whose scared for her like this! I know that Lily doesn't want to talk but if she didn't the professor will!!!

Lily is about to stand up.

Oh no! I have to do something?!

Claire suddenly stands up. It's surprise everyone.

Claire: Um,her name is Liliane von Rosenberg and she would like if you could just call her by her name which is Liliane.

Lily's expressionless face suddenly make a surprised expression.

Lindel:Why would be the one whose telling us that?

Claire:(Shit!) Because I am Liliane's number one fan and best friend! I am attach to Liliane that I don't want her to want her to waste her voice and get tired. Ha.....ha..haha...

Professor Lindel curiously frown to Claire.

I know that my reputation will be damaged but it was fine. It's just my reputation anyways! The more important is I save Lily!

Lindel: Very well.

Claire:Oh?

Lindel:However Miss Claire please mind your manners in the future.

Claire:Understood!

Then Claire take her seat.

Lindel:Now that we finish on our introductions let's proceed to your first task.

It seems professor Lindel pay no mind to what happened today. Ugh but he might be wary to me. It wa sis scary.

Claire then look to Lily.Lily was making at her a worried face. Claire surprised a little but just give Lily a big smile.

Wah!It was my first time seeing Lily make a face like that! I'm so happy.

Lindel: Before I lecture you have an assignment first! You will make an analysis report about our lessons this first semester. You have to pass it tomorrow.

His suddenly demand surprise everyone in class buy he paid no attention into it.

Lindel:I won't give you any clues you find it yourselves. You could ask the former students or you could research it yourself in the library.

That will be our task today. You many now enjoy your next class or spend your time  to the library first to gather some information.

Lindel then left his students.After he left the students start to creates a commotion.

Claire:Wow the professor was so harsh!I'm so tired toady just because of his coldness. Wait?! Whatcha doing Lily?

Claire spot Lily who was already writing her analysis report. Claire get close to Lily to see what's she writing.

Claire: You're making your analysis report already?! But how?

Lily then picks up her white board and write.

▪▪, ▪▪▪|_|▪▪_|_▪▪|_▪_ _, ▪_|▪▪▪▪|▪|▪_|_▪▪

(I study ahead)

Eh?She speaks earlier,right? Why does she suddenly change her way of communicating. Maybe she only did that because she's in front of the teacher.

Claire:Wow you're so amazing. That's what expected for the best student of the year,huh?

▪▪, _▪_▪|▪_|_▪, ▪▪▪▪|▪|▪_▪▪|▪ _ _ ▪

Lily: ❓

Claire:I can handle it myself.

Lily shakes her head and write again.

This time she wrote Claire name.

-Claire!

Claire a bit surprised when she see it but she understood it quickly.

Claire: You don't have to worry and I don't want to bother you too since after all you're just with your council work,right?

Lily: _▪▪▪|▪▪_|_ (But)

Claire:Okey thats enough! Finish your task already. Like I said I'm not gonna ask for your help.

Lily make a slight hesitated look but she gives up in the end. She then continue doing her assignment while Claire was just looking at her.

Some of their classmates left to go to the library but some were choose to remain and continue creating an alliance to other classmates.

To be continue....
