-Nice to meet you Marielle. My name is Fleur Allamand. I hope we get along as well as we are going to be classmates. This is my class too.
-Oh, are you new? I did not see you at the entrance ceremony or in the presentation of our tutor. - I asked even knowing the answer.
-You could say that. I started the school year yesterday, so I didn't have much time to get used to the school. That's why today I came so soon. And you? May I ask you what are you doing here so soon? - Asked her intrigued.
-Of course, I don't mind answering you. I have come soon to the institute because I want to study and I concentrate very well here. It must be because this is a place where you must study. - "As if that were true. Goodbye to my plan to walk around the school. As if I were going to go anywhere with her when we are the only students in school. It is possible that she has not yet become a calculating person because her family has not yet angered the villain. But better safe than sorry." - If you plan to tour the nearest buildings you should leave now. There is some distance between each other and you have to be back in an hour and five minutes.
-True, see you in a while. - Fleur said.
Then I watched as she walked away and when I couldn't see her anymore, I looked for my seat that was next to one window and at the back of the classroom. Once located, I went there and sat down. I watched the spacious class. Twenty classic oak wood desks with matching chairs. Three giant windows that overlooked the spacious entrance of the building. And that let us see the well-kept gardens of both, our building and the nearest.
There was also a large black slate in the background of the class. The slate went from the beginning of the wall to its other end. At one corner of this, there was an even longer desk with extra carved decorations. It had a luxurious brand computer, a tablet and a remote control. On the ceiling, apart from the expensive lights, there was a good projector and a white background rolled up and placed in the space between the slate and the ceiling. In that background is where things would surely be projected. In conclusion, a typical and normal class but with extra additions.
-Since there has been a change of plans, it will be better to take this time to study. It's a shame that the original plan has already gone down the drain, I wanted to explore, and for an hour become an explorer in the school labyrint in search of a treasure. It really is a shame. - I said with a sigh.
I took out the math book and the digital notebook and put them on the table. I opened the damned book for the first topic and started reading and writing notes.
About thirty minutes later I finally stopped. "I hate math... this is why I hate going back to school. I already passed these subjects, not with a good grade, but I passed them. And now I don't just have to learn them again but I also have to get a good grade. I want to cry. I was an art student, not a science student... " -I expressed this last by making a mental tantrum.
[Don't get depressed host. As they would say in your family: 'Knowledge is power'. Learning and mastering from the basics to the most difficult of mathematics or other subjects will not only serve you in this world. It is very likely that in other worlds you can or should apply what you have learned. And by mastering it now, you will only need to review these subjects in the future when you need them. Also, even if you don't like them or you are not good at these subjects, you have Marielle's help.]
"True, thanks to her memories I understand better not only the math but also the physics and other subjects I had trouble learning. Thank god that Marielle was a good student. I know that with the help of her memories, my own efforts and a good tutor, I can master them. But that doesn't mean that every time I am in front of them I don't get depressed. I had a very bad first impression of those as you understand... "
[Cheer up, Sarah. You can do it.]
"It's weird that you use my name. I thought you deleted it from your memory." - I said mentally with a little acidity in my words.
[Of course not. I have a better memory than you, host.] -Alphy responded proudly like a peacock showing his beautiful and impressive tail.
"Sure, sure. By the way, now that I think about it, I haven't noticed anything weird with my body. Didn't one of my two abilities say that my body would give off a mild smell of peonies? I haven't noticed anything."
[Oops... Let me check something.] - Expressed Alphy hurriedly before disappearing from my sight.
"That oops didn't sound good. I hope nothing bad happened. " I thought worried. Alphy had disappeared very quickly and without giving any explanation. I sighed and while waiting for Alphy to give some sign of life, I decided to go back to studying the odious math.
It was ten to fifteen minutes before my system showed itself to me again.
"I've been thinking and I think you owe me an explanation. I was telling you something about my abilities and suddenly you disappear for a while. Explain what happened because that 'Oops' didn't sound good at all."
[I'm so sorry, host. Due to the rush and having to protect your body from the fever, I forgot to do an important procedure. Not having done that is the same as saying that your abilities were disconnected from the body you are using. In short, you couldn't access your skills. But, don't worry, I have already done what I had to do and they are already at your disposal. If you pay attention, You can smell the soft essence of peonies that your body now gives off. I am also sure that you also have noticed an improvement in your muscles, they are stronger.]
"Explain. Now." - I told Alphy noticing the essence but still a little pissed off. I had spent all my points on a skill I considered essential and it turned out that it was in 'passive mode'. It was impossible that I was not angry with that mistake.
[Hmm... Fine. I will explain myself. The skills you get are associated or tied, as you prefer to call it, to your soul and your spiritual body. As you know, the body you enter produces a small rejection since it is not your real body and you do not have the same spiritual wave. The rejection diminishes because our client is in the background with us and because I have the authority that represents being a servant of the creator god. This rejection also occurs to your abilities and so without the necessary adjustment they become unusable. The method of making the skills work has to be done in every world.]
"And why hasn't that adjustment been made as soon as we came? And what do you mean by spiritual body?"
[The answer to the first question is that I forgot. As for the second... Do you remember when I told you that your soul is very weak? When it gets stronger you can cultivate a spiritual body.]
"You have a better memory than me, right?" I said sarcastically and then I continued my questionnaire.
"You still don't explain to me what that spiritual body is used for. So what is it used for?"
[You don't have enough authority now to know. In addition, there is still a long way for your soul to reach the level of creating a spiritual body. Take it easy. You have not completed your first mission so do not think about such distant things and focus on what you have to do. What is your first plan?]
"The first... Mhmm..." -I said thinking while unconsciously moving the special pen of the digital notebook to my mouth. I left it leaning on my lips and got a position that expressed to people who saw it: 'I'm thinking, don't bother me'. A few minutes later I decided.
"Okay, it's decided. The first plan will be to improve my relationship with my classmates. Marielle was good with everyone and helped in what she could but only had Fleur as her best friend. She unintentionally isolated herself from the rest of her classmates and only had a cordial relationship with them. I have to change that. The more friends, the more ears I will have in school. "
-I bother you? I didn't expect someone to arrive before me. Marielle are you feeling better?
Hearing that someone was calling me, I left the trance I was in. In front of me and looking worried was our class manager.
