It's been almost two years since brother and Tsukiyomi-san went to rescue Gerard-san and Eri-san. It that time frame I had trained a lot and was about to enter school. The same school as my brother.
Mom and dad aren't home to bid me goodbye. They seldom come home nowadays. It seems like the so called true humanity was deeply related to one of the neighboring kingdoms. Mom and dad were sent to different missions to investigate this, or so I was told.
They would tell me that they feel bad always leaving me alone in the house. I told them it's alright because Ronald is with me. Ronald is the head butler's name. Ever since that one time with the goblins Ronald would tell me stories and help me practice. My dad knowing Roland since way back was deeply grateful for all the hard work he has done for the Regius household. While my parents were busy, Ronald was the one who accompanies me when I rank up. My current rank was like this.
Sword:
Fire style: D class
Wind style: C class
Void style: C class
Water style: C class
Overall sword rank: B class
Magic:
Wind: E class
Earth: C class
Water: C class
I don't know what brother's rank is by now but I finally achieved brother's sword rank when he was ten although barely. I don't have brother's talent in magic but I can do pretty well.
Today was the day I was about to leave for school, and as expected my parents weren't here. Instead, it was the servants that came to see me off, I said my goodbyes to the servants and left.

As I reached the school I noticed that there were a lot of students about to take the exam. Unlike them, I was invited by the school, so I don't need to take the exam. The only thing I needed to do was to report to the principal who will personally hand me my school uniform.
†
I reached the principal's office after asking around. I knocked at the door and from the other side, someone said enter. There in the center of the room was a white-robed man with a frivolous face and a somewhat messy green hair.
"Oh I've been expecting you, Sarah Regius. I'm the principal of this school, you can call me Principal Wolfstein. Like your brother you have come here via my invitation. Here, this is your uniform."
The Principal handed me a Red blazer and skirt. After handing me the uniform the principal continued talking.
"Seeing as you are missing the freshman orientation because of me I will personally explain, the ranking in this school. Like the Rankings of sword and magic the students here are ranked as well. Rankings go from Grey the lowest, Green, Blue, Red, and Then Black being the highest, white is for the teachers. Usually we would commence an entrance exam to determine your rank, but you who got a special invitation were already scouted and observed. So we pretty much know your current abilities. Unlike your brother a who became a black-clad, you a red-clad. Students ranked as such are required to attend five classes in a month. You may choose any class you like to undertake, here is a list of the classes you can choose from."
The principal handed me a piece of paper, the classes were numerous. I wonder what brother picked, the first time he came here.
I did a curtsy "thank you Principal Leonard."
"No, thank you, Sarah Regius, for attending this school. So Sarah Regius, welcome to Tirnanog, May your pride, courage, and power lead your way to the very clouds themselves!"
†
When I left the room someone was there waiting for me. It was a lady with a stern expression. Like the principal she too was wearing a white robe. "Sarah-san, good afternoon I'm Rena Isolte the professor in charge of magic classes. Follow me I will show you to your dorm room. Your things were already delivered there. Once were done with the dormitory, I will guide you to the area where you can register for classes. Also here, it's a map of the school."
Rena-sensei handed me a map. "Umm, Rena-sensei, do you know my brother?"
"Yes I do, but only a little. I was the one who guided him to his dorm room as well. Even though he only stayed briefly in school before applying for a leave of absence, in the few interactions we had I did find him quite interesting.
"I see, thank you."
"Well then let's go to the dormitory you'll be staying at."
†
I followed Rena-sensei, and while walking she told me the dormitory I will be staying at used to be the dormitory brother and Tsukiyomi were staying at as well.
Hearing that I felt excited, the dormitory I will be staying at was for special students. It was where talented and worrisome individuals gathered. The dormitory was specifically for the first years. It took half an hour to reach said dormitory.
From the outside the dormitory looked rather luxurious. It was three stories high and it seems to be protected by a huge magical barrier. I bet brother can break that barrier no problem.
When I thought about my brother again, I couldn't help but think. 'I'm going to catch up to you brother. So when you return I'll be able to follow you for sure.'
