Katherine stared at the large building in front of her with a gaze that still seemed as if she was dreaming..
"After studying for about two months, I can finally go to this academy," thought Katherine remembering how she tried so hard to follow the lessons given by Luca. .
Several times Katherine thought about giving up, but when she remembered this was one of Javier's dreams, Katherine was finally able to persevere and get through the lesson.
Katherine then looked at the writing on the fence.
[Faith Alive Academy]
After seeing the sign, Katherine became a little excited. She's not dreaming! It's totally real!
"Lady Katherine, let's hurry in."
The familiar male voice immediately snapped Katherine out of her thoughts. She then turned and looked at Luca.
"Luca! What are you doing here?! Why are you wearing the uniform used by male students?" asked Katherine, surprised. Just like she is now wearing a navy blue blazer with a white shirt and red tie, Luca is also wearing the same uniform. What's different is that Luca is wearing beige pants and Katherine is wearing a skirt.
"Because I will also study here?" asked Luca who was confused by Katherine's question. Isn't that obvious?
Katherine immediately pulled Luca's arm away from the front fence of Faith Alive Academy and only let him go when they were a little further away.
"Luca! What are you thinking? Why do you also want to come with me to go to the academy?! Do you want to watch over me?" asked Katherine who couldn't find any other reason why Luca wanted to follow her here.
Luca's loyalty made Katherine very grateful that the man was her witch. However, sometimes Luca clung to her too much and it made Katherine, who wanted to be free, feel stuffy.
"At first yes, but my magic is getting harder to use and I think I might gain something if I learn about human knowledge," answered Luca honestly.
Since using forbidden magic to resurrect Javier back then, Luca couldn't use any advanced magic at all, and it took him longer to use basic magic.
All this time Luca tried to find out how to heal himself, but he had no clue at all.
When Katherine said she wanted to go to the academy, Luca had planned to follow the woman and keep an eye on Katherine, but suddenly he had a feeling he might be able to gain something if he learned from humans.
"Alright, do as you please!" said Katherine at last and walked first to enter the academy building.
Luca smiled and followed Katherine from behind.

After chatting with the principal, Katherine and Luca were asked to sit down to wait for the homeroom teacher to take them to class. Katherine then nudged Luca who was sitting beside her.
"Are you kidding me? Kate Brown? Why do I have to be Kate Brown?" whispered Katherine who clearly didn't like the name Luca had used to enroll in this academy. Her name was very pretty and Katherine liked her real name. Why did Katherine have to change her name anyway?
"We have to change the name so we don't get caught. What if someone knew Katherine Maxwell's name? Wouldn't they find it strange that Lady Katherine was now attending the academy? So even if they knew my lady before, they would hesitate because my lady name is different now," explained Luca.
Katherine was silent when she heard Luca's excuse, what the man said was true, but Katherine still didn't like Kate's name.
"You must be happy to have such a good name, Luke Brown!" quipped Katherine who thought Luca's new name was cool.
Luca just smiled awkwardly, it seemed that the next time he had to ask Katherine what name she liked.
"But you're really great at getting those documents ready," Katherine commented suddenly quietly, looking straight ahead.
She initially only thought that blending in with humans and coming to the academy was just an easy thing to do, she didn't know that there was a lot of paperwork to deal with and if it wasn't for Luca, Katherine didn't know what to do.
Luca was silent when he heard that, his lips slightly lifted into a smile at Katherine's compliment. After that incident, Katherine had completely changed and was more cold, but Luca was grateful now that Katherine looked back to how she was before, a little more carefree.

"All right, everyone, today we have a new student. Come on, please come in!"
Katherine took a deep breath to calm herself and stepped into the classroom. She looked at the other students who were now looking at her.
"Hello everyone, I'm Kat-Kate Brown, nice to meet you," Katherine replied with a smile.
The atmosphere in the class became lively after hearing Katherine's words, the boys seemed to be whistling at the arrival of a beautiful girl in their class, while the female students showed an attitude that was not happy because the new girl had managed to grab the attention they had been getting.
"Okay, Kate please sit over there," the class teacher pointed right in the middle because that was the only empty seat.
"Okay, ma'am!" answered Katherine excitedly. She would eventually sit in class and study alongside humans.
Katherine then walked to her seat and put the bag she was carrying on the table, but just as Katherine was about to sit down, suddenly someone behind her pulled her chair and made Katherine sit on the floor.
The atmosphere in the class was instantly filled with laughter from the students who were there.
"Hahaha, you should be careful," said the woman behind Katherine's seat. Katherine immediately stood up and glared at the woman, but she was trying very hard not to turn her eyes red.
"What are you looking at?!" she asked lifting her chin, not liking Katherine's gaze.
"Enough! It's still class time! Kate, take your seat immediately!" said the female teacher.
"But she just pulled my chair!" said Katherine reporting what happened.
"Whoa! Did this new girl just accuse me? Guys, did you see me pulling her chair out?" asked the woman, rising from her seat, asking her friends for their opinion.
A smile appeared on Katherine's face when she asked that, what a stupid woman, why would she ask such an obvious question?
However, Katherine's expression immediately changed upon hearing the words of her classmates.
"No, Mary didn't pull it. Did you see Mary pull it?"
"No. Mary's been quiet ever since."
"Kate must be sloppy for not being careful."
"But…" Katherine argued, feeling this was unfair.
"Enough! Kate, next time you have to be careful, please sit down!" said the teacher who wanted to start the class immediately.
Katherine fell silent and immediately sat down in her chair.
Did life at the academy turn out to be like this?
