Yuan's Pov
"Yuan..hey Yuan! Yuaaannn" Leonardo called for my attention which I just gave him a glance and raised my eyebrow. He avoided my sight and began to speak.
"You look so mean that is frightening." he said and chuckled "If you continue to act that way you'll never be able to make new friends" Leonardo added.
"I dont need other friends."
"eh?" Leonardo had a questioning look so i placed my book down to my side and placed my hands on his shoulders.
"Leonardo Gracia. I only need you and that would be enough for me, I dont wanna take care of another idiotic person" I answered his confused self and went back to reading my book.
"I dont know whether I'd take that as a compliment or an insult" Leonardo stated to what I said, so I just gave him a small chuckle and he continued to annoy me.
Its not that I dont wanna make friends,its just that I can't just trust people normally, I have a fear of being manipulated and used also being backstab, unlike Leonardo he's been my companion since we were kids because of our mothers, so I know I can trust him, atleast I hope.

After some time, we were able to finally arrive at the academy, it looked so grand that is unbelievable you might not believe its an academy, It looks more like a castle but for everyone.
"Yuan look at this! doesnt this look so grand?" Leonardo said in awe of the view while he sticked his head out of the carriage window
"It is grand alright" I replied politely while I just looked at it from inside the window.
We started to walk inside but as we do, the guards of the academy stopped us at the entrance.
"This is the Imperial Academy of Nicholasia, state your presence" One of the guards asked our coachman
The coachman instructed us to get off from the carriage and to explain our presence to the guards. And of course I do the talking I can't trust Leonardo for this he might cause a misunderstanding.
"Hello and Good day to you sir guard, I know status is of no importance here but allow me to introduce myself, my name is Yuan Von Nicholias and this here is my companion and friend Leonardo Gracia"
We introduced ourselves and I added;
"We are here to enroll ourselves into this academy by the order of the king" As i said that I showed him the letter of the king to the guard which he just nodded and let is in.
The carriage wasn't allowed inside the academy walls so we had to walk for the rest of the entrance.
"Yuan, you sounded just like the emperor earlier, creepy.." Leonardo commented as he acted all scared.
"Stop being dramatic, and let's ask for directions" I replied to him which he followed.

We asked several people of the place and finally one told us the exact location of the headmaster's office without being too fast and busy.
After sometime talking to the headmaster of this academy he finally let us go and welcoming us to the academy.
"Yuan..he talked so long that I felt really sleepy" He yawned.
"is he a voice box?" I chuckled at the statement.
"I have to agree that he talks a lot but you shouldn't talk about him like that" I said.
"But still.." He whined.
We just continued to talk until we eventually arrived at the assigned dormitory for us, sadly we had to part since he's in a different dormitory which Leo was really sad about.
I walked in and saw another student's bed so I assumed the other one which was not decorated was mine.
Most of us in this dormitory are of elementary level in studying since were still 7-10 years old, its kind of annoying but I had to get used to this since I myself is seven.

Time passes by and its already night time, both me and Leo had a lot of time and trained with our swords still him trying to beat me but eventually failed.
He may be lacking in physical abilities but he's actually quite good in magic, Leo has Fire magic which is very much expected since their family is consist by fire mages.
After some studying and reading I finally decided to go to bed, so I prepared myself to sleep but heard the door knob opening and revealed a boy with hazel brown hair with blue eyes.
The boy began to look around and noticed a few things different and then his gaze ended at me.
He backed with widened eyes.
"Oh sorry, I must've startled you, Im your new roomate, Yuan's my name" I stated and bowed out of courtesy.
"This is a bit awkward, Im not good around people so.." He lowly said.
"Its alright I your quite the opposite of my friend."
He looked up at me and he tilted his head.
"Ah, you must be confused, I have a friend in the other dorm his names Leonardo his kind of a douchebag but reliable" I answered.
"Ah I see..well Im Heidrich Hazor" He introduced himself and I just nodded.
"Well nice to meet you, anyways Im heading to sleep if you have any questions Ill answer them tomorrow" I yawned and was heading to sleep when..
"Who are you..?" He asked out of the blue.
"Im Yuan, like I said earlier" I replied.
"I meant why are you being this nice and mysterious!?" He slightly shouted which I just gave him a glare and placed a finger on his mouth.
"be quiet and go to sleep I said I'd answer questions by the morning" I threatened and headed back to my bed to sleep.
"That doesn't answer my question.."
Heidrich lowly said which I listened and eventually went to bed as well.
'I dont mean to be mysterious but that is just how I am.'
"Why do you think Im mysterious anyways.."
