Vanessa slowly looked at the people in the train station.
Many levels of people were here. The nobles' servants were slowly loading the bags into the train's cargo hold and affixing labels to them.
For normal people, train attendants would take the luggage of the arrivals.
Those who came here were not only from the capital. There were many people from various cities. Specifically, there were three ways to get to the Continent's best academy, and these consisted of three trains from each country arriving at the academy. Therefore, the nobles should use this path even if they don't want to.
The people who came out of them were ordinary people.
Some had fathers of farmers, and Some had fathers of Knights, but regardless of what they were, each was filled with hope for their children.
Vanessa's first thought was 'too crowded.
Things were the same at the train station, as Nobles and Commoners were not separated in the Academy, Only servants were allowed to carry the bags.
Vanessa observed the crowded train station as the maids carried Vanessa's bags into the cargo hold.
Nobles and commoners seemed to have crossed two sides, especially though the station did not leave.
In worlds like this, a commoner genius always pops up, and having someone like that by her side can be pretty good for Vanessa.

'Nothing will come of it. Scanning random contacts take too long I need better features
At that moment, Vanessa's eyes fell on a green-haired, bespectacled girl who was standing quietly next to her family.
[Information:
Name: Rose
Age: 15
Title : Goddess of Alchemy(Not Obtained)
Proximity: Epic Level Fire Proximity]
'This much!' Vanessa let out a cry of joy inside her.
An alchemist could be quite useful, and the number of really good alchemists did not exceed the number of fingers.
Thus, the target became clear.
Vanessa was careful not to attract attention as she slowly approached the green-haired girl.
She didn't want people's attention to suddenly turn to her.
The green-haired girl and her family were startled at first when they saw a black-haired person coming towards them, but soon realized her identity and collapsed to the ground.
"This citizen greets the princess," the middle-aged man said quietly.
He had a body like a soldier.
"Oh, please stand up. You don't need to respect me here," said Vanessa solemnly.
Both parents were taken aback by her demeanor.
Yet they listened and stood up.
"What do you want from us, Your Majesty?" asked the beautiful middle-aged lady with green hair like her daughter.
"I was looking for a friend to take the trip with me, and if I had to make a serious choice, I would choose a commoner over a noble. I wanted to ask your daughter if she would accompany me on the trip," said Vanessa.
The green-haired girl's eyes lit up for a moment.
"Really? I'd love to!"
"Rose! Please be respectful!" her father warned her
"It's okay, really," said Vanessa and approached the green-haired girl.
"Well, then my name is Vanessa. Nice to meet you"
The green-haired girl immediately took Vanessa's hand.
"Nice to meet you too! My name is Rose!" said the green-haired girl
Meanwhile, an announcement was made.
"Dear Parents and finished servants, please leave the train station!"
Rose's parents hugged their daughter once again
"Well, try not to disturb the princess, rose"
"Take care of yourself at school and don't forget to send a letter"
When the hug was over, Rose's father turned to Vanessa.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to ask this, but please watch out for Rose," he said, leaning forward slightly.
"It's okay. I always look at my friends." The two parents slowly left the train station, realizing that with the princess they were confident that their daughter would be okay.
As they parted, Rose wept slowly.
"Hmm? You're going to miss them, aren't you?" Vanessa asked calmly.
"Yes...It hurts me to be separated from my family who has always been by my side," she said, and she couldn't hold back her tears as tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Don't worry Rose, they'll always be there. I'm sure they'll want to see you get better. So be a strong girl and don't cry." said Vanessa, patting her back.
"Thank you, Your Majesty"
"Come on, you can call me Vanessa. You're my friend now," said Vanessa.
"The Train is Leaving! The Train is Going! Everybody Settle In!" shouted the train attendant
"Let's go, Rose"
"Okay V-Vanessa"
"that's it"
----
The two slowly entered an empty cabin on the train and sat across from each other.
The cabins had red wide seats and a large window that looked out.
They also had beds that could lean against the wall, placed higher than the seats.
"Hmm? These seats are very comfortable," Rose muttered.
"You better get used to it," said Vanessa, giggling.
The two slowly put the small bags next to them in the storage area under the seats.
The purpose of these bags was basically to put clothes to be used when they need a change of clothes, as the train journey takes quite a long time.
"Okay, Rose. Wanna tell me about yourself? Ah, I found a better way. Let's take turns asking each other questions, okay? Lying is not allowed," said Vanessa.
"Hmm? Well, let's do it!"
"I'll go first. What do you like?"
"I like to eat and read books. I'm particularly interested in Armin Astrong's magic books, but I haven't been able to read any of them seriously. I only looked when a nobleman dropped the book, but it didn't take long to realize he dropped it. hehe"
"Do you admire him even though you've read almost 3 pages?"
"You can say it like that! That book gave me so much."
"That's it. You know, I'm an Astrong fan too and I've got everything. Wanna take a look?" ' said Vanessa, pulling three books out of her bag.
"These are the shorter versions, but the basic-length books are at my house."
With twinkling eyes, Rose took the three books from Vanessa.
"Thank you so much, Vanessa"
"It's okay. It's your turn"
"Huh? Oh, what?" Rose's head seemed to be distracted for a moment by the lure of the books in her hand.
"Pfft. It's your turn, I say," Vanessa said, chuckling.
"Oh sorry. So Ummm what does it feel like to be a princess? I've always wondered"
"It's quite a tiring job. I have two older brothers and a disciplined mother who always takes care of me. Other than that, I attend many events and have to smile all the time. Do you know how many cheesy people come to events? Besides, do you know how many people try to take advantage of me? Ah, and I have love letters that I burn every day," Vanessa said with a frank whimper.
"Pfft"
"Hmm? Something funny?"
"It's really funny. I've always heard that the princess was a cold-blooded person, but you're a warm-blooded person who can whine like all of us."
"So I don't think it's weird at all. I'm a normal person, after all, it's normal for me to act like that. Isn't it?"
"So. You're right. Only commoners always see the Crown as an inaccessible place. That's why it was funny."

Meanwhile, in another part of the train, a red-haired boy was looking for an empty cabin.
Yet every cabin he passed was full.
While looking at a few more cabins, he collided with someone and fell to the ground.
"Hey! are you okay?"
Myles slowly lifted his head and looked at the chocolate-skinned, blue-haired youth who held out his hand towards him.
He slowly took his hand and stood up.
"Sorry, I wasn't looking my way." said the blue-haired boy.
"It's okay. I can't say I looked either"
"How about being friends? My name is Luke... Luke Calvin," said the blue-haired boy.
"I'm Myles... Myles Roach"
"So you're from a duke family like me. Nice to meet you, Myles. I think you're looking for a cabin like me," said the blue-haired boy.
"True. It looks like the place is packed. What's wrong with that eye patch, by the way?"
"Oh my grandfather was a great pirate, I wear it to honor him"
"A pirate from the Calvin family? Are you kidding me?"
"Yeah! Let's go, man. Let's find a place to sit"
"Hey wait for me!"
The duo encountered many different people as they wandered between the cabins.
Myles kept his search open to find someone talented, but he couldn't seem to find anyone particularly talented.
Meanwhile, Luke turned to him.
"Hey, are you looking for someone?" He asked
"How so?" he asked.
Luke jumped to his feet quickly and put his arm around her shoulder.
"Come on man, don't be shy. I see the expression of someone who has fallen in love here. Tell your brother who you're in love with. I know all the nobles!" said Luke excitedly.
"Do you know all the nobles? Seriously? Do you have that much free time?"
"My mom is pretty strict. Since my family is a business, she keeps telling me to get along with people and not forget anyone's name." ' Luke sighed.
"I feel sorry for you"
"Hah sorry. By the way, I didn't memorize the nobles' names, I was kidding. I didn't expect you to be stupid enough to believe that."
"Hey!"
"Come on man, the train's about to leave and we haven't even found a cabin yet. I don't want to sleep in the hallway, okay?"
"Then let's be quick," Myles said, and the two of them started running down the hall.
Luke suddenly stopped in front of a booth.
Myles stood behind him and looked at the cabin.
Inside, a green-haired girl and a black-haired girl were chatting.
"Well, isn't this the most empty booth we've ever seen? Why don't we ask them if we can sit down?" she asked.
"Dude, aren't you noble? Both girls inside look like normal people. It's okay to be friends with commoners, let's do it." A few seconds later, Myles' face quickly turns pale when he realizes the princess is inside.
"Hey wait-"
But it's too late
Luke had already knocked on the door, causing both sets of eyes to lock on them.
"Hi, Luke. What are you doing here?"
"Oh actually I and my friend couldn't find a seat and were wondering if my childhood friend would accept us"
"Sure, if it's you, why not. Not being able to leave my friend to sleep in the hallway even though I hate your jokes? And who's your friend?"
"Oh hey Myles come over here!" said Luke, grabbing the red-haired boy by the collar and dragging him inside.
"So your friend you were talking about was Mr. Myles"
"Have you met before?"
"At the Medal of Honor ceremony."
"I see. You've changed a lot since we've seen each other."
"Conversation has only been a week"
"I know"
At that moment, Myles shyly walked over to the chair where the two girls were sitting next to each other and sat across from them.
As Luke sat next to him, he grabbed the blue-haired boy by his shirt and whispered in his ear.
"Were you friends?"
"Hmm? We're childhood friends"
"You didn't say that outside the cabin"
Luke looked at Myles, who was slowly blushing.
"Oh! Who did you find out to be in love with? Tell me, did you fall in love when you received the medal of honor?"
"..."
"As I Expected"
