Three months had passed since the assessment of the advanced academies had transpired. The time for the academies' new school year opening finally arrived.
Kraftvoll was preparing to depart from the Feuersturm Castle. He and the princess were starting to be living in the Verrater Academy's dormitories within its premises.
They can only go home when there are holidays and school breaks, other than that, they will spend most of their time inside the Verrater Academy studying the way of seishin cultivation.
After a couple of hours of preparations, Kraftvoll and the princess were ready to depart from the castle to the academy. The King and the other members of the Stolz royal family waited for them until they leave.
"Kraftvoll, I'll visit you twice a month to guide your seishin cultivation. You better focus on the other three elemental classes that are not my specialties. The teachers in the academy cannot match me in knowledge in the elements that I have affinities to, after all. But, their understanding of the other elements is better than mine." said King Arthur to Kraftvoll.
Kraftvoll replied, "I understand, master. I'll work hard even more than before."
"And you, my little princess, work hard like Kraftvoll here, okay? You must be on your best behavior there, okay?" said King Arthur.
"Of course, I will do that for the sake of our royal family's reputation, father." Princess Kyomi said with a smile.
The queen went to Princess Kyomi and she worriedly reminded her, "My dear, you must take care of yourself properly, okay? Don't skip any meals. Don't sleep too late. And don't overwork yourself, okay?"
"I will properly take care of myself, mother. You don't need to worry," said Princess Kyomi.
"My queen, don't be too worried about our little princess. She can take care of herself now." said the King while slightly chuckling.
As Kraftvoll saw Princess Kyomi and her family bond together, he felt lonely. He remembered the time when his parents were still with him, they would pamper him at every moment. Those were truly precious moments for Kraftvoll.
The king noticed that Kraftvoll suddenly changed his mood and he understood the situation immediately. He quickly finished their goodbyes so that Kraftvoll wouldn't feel lonely when he was watching them.
"It's time for the two of you to go now. You will be late to the Verrater Academy's opening ceremony."
Kraftvoll nodded and bowed to the King.
"Goodbye, everyone!" said Princess Kyomi to her family while waving her hands to them.
The two rode the carriage and finally started departing to the domain of Verrater Academy. The domain of the Verrater academy is found in the eastern part of the territory of Stolz City. That domain was composed of vast land areas in the eastern part of the royal capital.
To reach the domain of the academy, Kraftvoll and Princess Kyomi needed to travel for a couple of hours just to reach the main campus of the academy.
The travel time was only enough for Kraftvoll and Princess Kyomi to barely reach their destination before the time for the opening ceremony.
"Since Verrater Academy is the number one academy in the Holy Alliance, does that mean that we have classmates from the other two races of the alliance?" Kraftvoll asked curiously.
"Of course! The academy was holding special tests in the territories of the other Kingdoms. Half of the students that the academy accepted were from the other two kingdoms of the other races."
A couple of hours had passed.
"Your Highness, young lord, the gate of the Verrater Academy is near."
The tall gate of the domain of the academy can be seen by Kraftvoll and the princess.
"'That's the academy's gate! Our academy life is gonna start today, Kraftvoll." said Princess Kyomi.
Kraftvoll replied, "Yeah! Let's do our best!"
