"Well, I guess so"
I replied clumsily, I have had enough friends but they never reached the level where I could easily say we were best friends, after that the four of us continued to eat in a warm and cozy atmosphere, although Eric and Flora were reluctant at first, they both quickly got used to Emi's presence, from time to time I glanced in Prince Edward's direction and almost every time our eyes met it seemed as if he would jump down from his table at any moment to strangle me, but still I decided not to mind this and ignored him most of the time, the next day classes would finally start, Eric was finishing getting the books for today's subjects while I waited for him in the lobby, but unexpectedly Eric likes to wake up early, so it's not like we were late or anything.
"Okay, I think I got everything"
Eric said approaching me, i nodded and soon Eric and I left the men's dormitory heading towards the main building where the classes would take place, it is worth mentioning that Eric and I are not in the same class, after all, the class I am in was made especially for the best students in the school, i said goodbye to Eric as soon as we got to his classroom, looking through the gap in the open door I saw that Flora was in the same class as him, Flora noticing me waved at me and I waved back, after that I went towards my classroom, after a few minutes walking I finally arrived at my classroom.
"Man, they really don't mind showing preference"
I said as I looked at the door, I mean.
(That's made of gold, isn't it?)
I touched the door to see if it was really gold, although I am not an expert, I have read several books in my past life on how to identify if certain gems are real or not, and this is truly made of gold.
"Is something wrong?"
I was suddenly surprised by a voice coming from behind me, as soon as I looked back, I saw Emi looking at me with curious eyes.
"Ah, yes... I'm fine, I was just a little anxious, after all it seems unreal that a commoner like me managed to not only get into the Solaris academy but also into the advanced class"
The advanced class was the class I would be attending, in short, a class made for geniuses, the standard number of students in each class is around 30 to 35, the advanced class barely holds 10, in an academy with over 15,000 students this class inevitably draws attention, and I was one of the privileged ones in this class.
"You don't have to worry about that, you're more than worthy of being in this class, besides... I'm really happy that we can study together, I really admire you, not only for the fact that you saved my mother but also for the fact that your inventions help a lot in the everyday life of ordinary people"
I was speechless upon hearing Emi's words, in fact at this very moment she is doing something quite different from her usual cold expression, but more than that, being recognized by the person you love really makes you happy.
"It's an honor to know that you feel that way about me, Alte... Emi"
I said with a smile on my face, Emi looked at me momentarily with a surprised expression but soon a smile made its way onto her face, that was probably the most beautiful smile I had ever seen, this princess again was doing things that surprised me one after another, after that Emi and I entered the room attracting the attention of everyone inside, just as I expected there were only 8 students in the room, besides, I doubt very much that others would come later because they would be late.
As I walked towards my seat in the middle, I glanced at some of the students, all of whom had very different characteristics from each other, as I sat down, I looked around again and noticed that the others were also looking at me curiously, strangely enough I didn't feel hostility or anything like that, they really seemed to only be curious about me, as I looked around, I noticed that there was movement next to me, when I looked to see who had sat down, I was relatively surprised to see Emi next to me.
(She was sitting next to me?)
I thought as I tried to understand the situation, but my thoughts were stopped when I heard the sound of the door opening, it seems that the person in charge of our class had arrived.
"Oh, looks like everyone has arrived that's good"
Said the woman, after that she takes a pen and walks over to the blackboard to start writing, speaking of which both the pen and the blackboard came from my company, although they are similar to the ones, they had in my old world they are still not perfect and are in constant process of improvement, after all, it's not as if we had all the materials we had on earth, sometimes improvisation is necessary, after that the woman started writing some things on the board and then turned to the whole room.
"And a pleasure to meet you, my name is Susy Harvis Solaris, I am the teacher in charge of teaching you all"
The woman said with a smile, looking around I saw that everyone was looking at her with admiration as if she was an idol, I didn't really know her so I didn't know how to feel, noticing my confused face Emi next to me begins to give a brief introduction of the woman who was the object of admiration.
"She and quite a famous person on the continent, they call her the genius of the century, she has launched several famous theories, although she has not yet been able to prove most of them many people assume her theories to be true"
Emi said.
"One of her most famous theories is that there is a force invisible to the naked eye that holds us to the ground"
Emi said, surprising me.
(She's talking about gravity, isn't she?)
