Chapter 36 - Ciel II

Gaia Language which is the second lesson today is the easiest lesson for Selina. This is because the Gaia Language lessons are the same as English lessons on earth. They are taught materials such as passive voice, reported speech, question tags, conditional 'if', subjunctive, causative, ellipsis, participles, derivation, preference, relative clause, conjunction, capital, concord, word order, tenses, and others.

Of course, if this lesson is easy for Selina, then this lesson is also easy for Arthur. Throughout the class, Selina and Arthur competed to answer questions from Teacher Eliza Vough English or Teacher Eliza for short. Teacher Eliza was panicked by the two of them. This was because, besides the two of them, the other Class 1's members didn't have the chance to think and answer Teacher Eliza's questions. Their little competition continued until Teacher Eliza finally decided to directly appoint other students to answer.

The third lesson for today is the History of Gaia. They were taught by Teacher Historia Well on how Goddess Gaia shaped this world from nothing. Gaia, who felt the universe was very empty and has no life, finally collaborated with the God of Heaven, Uranus, to create the world. The world that is still very empty is then filled with the ocean which eventually also created rivers and other bodies of water, celestial axis where the world is rotating, constellations in the sky which creates days, months, and years, the sun, and the moon, humans, other beings and creatures. Then Gaia also creates time and mana to help her creatures that live in her world. Mana is then used by humans, other beings, animals, and plants to create magic.

All of today's lessons finally ended at six o'clock at night and students rushed to tidy up their belongings before returning to their respective dorms.

"Synergátis," Selina used the synergátis spell in her dorm room to summon Ciel from her familiar's space.

*Puff*

"Lina! I miss Lina even though I only haven't seen you in a few hours," said Ciel who had resized himself to the size of a kitten and jumped into Selina's arms.

"Ciel! I also miss Ciel," Selina said while hugging Ciel to her bosom.

"Waaah... So that's your familiar?" Emily asked, who had just entered their room together with Emma.

"Yes. This is Ciel, Ciel, you already know Alexa but you don't know my two other best friends. They are a pair of twins. The one with the green band is Emma and the one with the red band is Emily," Selina said, introducing Ciel to Emma and Emily.

"Emma and Emily, nice to meet you!" said Ciel happily.

"Wait, he can speak the Gaia language?" Emma asked in surprise.

"Yes, Ciel is from the Royal Nine-Tailed Fox species, an S class magic beast so he can speak the Gaia language," Selina explained.

"Hmm…," Emily hummed.

"By the way, where are you guys from? Isn't your class' schedule today only until three o'clock?" Selina asked.

"We are from the teacher's office to submit Emily's History of Gaia assignment," answered Emma.

"Why did you submitted it at this hour?" Selina frowned.

"Emily's parchment paper was torn by accident, so Teacher Historia allowed Emily to submit it at six."

"Ooh…"

*Kriieet*

The sound of the bathroom's door opening spread in the dorm room of Selina and three others. From behind the bathroom door appeared Alexa, who had just finished showering.

"Lina, it's your turn!" Alexa said, drying her hair.

"Okay!" Selina said then she lowered Ciel on her bed.

"Ciel, I want to take a shower so you wait here for a moment, okay?"

"Un!" Ciel nodded as a response.

After finishing showering, Selina came out of the bathroom and heard Alexa talking to Emma and Emily.

"After Lina finishes showering, let's introduce ourselves to each other's familiars," said Alexa and responded with a nod from Emma and Emily.

Alexa, Emma, and Emily then turned their heads towards Selina, who had just come out of the bathroom.

"Since Lina is finished, let's start our self-introduction."

"Synergátis," Alexa summoned Xavier.

Emma and Emily then also summoned their familiars. Emma and Emily's familiars are Water Serpents, a C class magic beast. Emma and Emily gave their familiar names Vritra and Zultys, respectively. After that, they introduced themselves to each other's familiars.

"Let's eat. I'm hungry," Emily said, holding her stomach.

"En! I'm hungry too, "Alexa agreed.

The four of them together with their familiars then went to Undine dorm's cafeteria which is right next to the Undine dorm's building. Unlike the Undine dorm's building that has blue walls with gold accents and white marble floors, Undine dorm's cafeteria has white walls and blue marble floors.

When entering the Undine dorm's cafeteria, the first thing Selina sees is four large, long wooden tables that are two and a half meters wide and ten meters long. On both sides of the large and long wooden tables, there are rows of chairs that are also made of the same material. In the Eastern corner, there is a kitchen and a place for taking food which is set like a buffet.

"Hmm... Today's main menu is Spaghetti Kotópoulo Bolognese, Grilled Kotópoulo with Mushroom Sauce, Green Mýdi with Garlic Butter Sauce, Grilled Arpázon with Lemóni Butter Sauce, and Grilled Solomós with Black Pepper Sauce," said Alexa who read today's menu at notice board located next to the place of taking plates and cutlery.

"What does Ciel want to eat?" Selina asked Ciel who was on her right shoulder.

"Arpázon!" Ciel exclaimed happily.

"Okay."

Selina took the tray then placed two plates and a set of cutlery on it for herself - Ciel didn't need any cutlery - and walked towards the Grilled Arpázon. She then took two servings of food, two glasses of water, and walked towards an empty seat.

"Ciel, wait until the others finish taking food first, then we eat together, okay?"

"En!" Ciel nodded his head, but his eyes could not be separated from the Arpázon in front of him.

Selina just smiled at Ciel's behavior. Shortly afterward Alexa, Emma, and Emily and their familiars came and sat around Selina and Ciel. They then eat together quietly then return to their room. They finally ended their day and slept with their respective familiars.
