Chapter 16 - Chapter 16 - New School Year

"Wait... wasn't this my room..." Victoria stands before my Room, quite a bit bamboozled.

I guess this was expected, if she is the reincarnation of the Queen. It was once her Room after all.

We go inside and she notices how different, yet familiar it looks. After some time we start talking and playing. Like little Children do. It's a bit embarrassing for us, but we also seem to have the urge somehow. Guess this is what they call childish instinct.

When night comes, we both go to sleep. The next day we wake up and go back to School.

This cycle and similar cycles, continued for the next few years. And after what only felt like a few Months, I suddenly turned 11.

Back in School, we haven't learned very much until now. We only learned the basics and how to read and write and how to calculate. But for me and Victoria it was way too easy. I even go to teach her some modern Math.

Now, since we start a new School year, the 5th school year to be exact. The first school year where we primarily start learning practical Magic. From now on, we only learn Mathematics, Sports and Practical Magic that is sometimes mixed with Theoretic Magic.

All the other Subjects are out of our own volition. And of course neither me nor Victoria need to take any of these courses.

As I wake up, I look at myself in the Mirror. I look even more beautiful than I did back then. I even forget sometimes that I have ever lived the life of the opposite Gender on Earth. But I am still scared of the Things a Woman has to go through, the painful things. I guess I will see soon.

I dress myself up in my new School Uniform. It's still the Black Color for Nobility and I still have that Gem. The only difference is the size of the Uniform and the Color of the Ribbon, it changes depending on the School year.

What I am quite happy about is, that I can actually fly now. Victoria and Heira teached me.

I bet everyone will be so jealous when they see me and Victoria already fly in our first Practical Magic Lesson.

I fly to School and the first Person I see is Victoria. She greets me and we both walk inside.

To be quite honest... we both are in our own Sphere, our own Bubble. No one ever really tried to befriend us and we're rather lonely apart from us two being friends.

But it doesn't concern us, we are happy to be that way.

We walk toward our first real Magic Lesson. The Teacher is still the same. She looks a bit older than back then, but she is still as strict as ever.

When we enter the Training Grounds, everyone looks at us in awe and envy. They keep quite a distance from us. But somehow I don't mind, I actually like it. I think it feels great to be looked at by a lot of people. Maybe I am a born ruler?

Once classes start, the Teacher introduces herself once more, although we know here since years. She then shows us how to utilize flying magic, so that we can fly to school on our own in the Future. She asks for Volunteers to try it. Of course, I raise my Hand.

Our Teacher is surprised that I raised my Hand, since I kept quite a low profile these last few years.

I go over to the Field and start flying. I fly perfectly, at least almost perfectly. I put a few deliberate mistakes in, so the other Students don't suspect anything. I have learned how dangerous it can be.

Once I stopped showing off, I fly back down to the Ground and everyone applauds me, even the Teacher. But she looks at me with confusion. Has she found out that I only pretend to be a beginner? No... that can't be.

I quickly move that thought away and walk back to Victoria.

"That looked quite graceful, but you should've made the mistakes less obvious..." She points at the Teacher.

"You mean, the Teacher may find out?"

Victoria nods.

Then, Victoria goes forth and shows her abilities. She makes mistakes too, but they look less deliberate. After she returns to me, I still see the look on the Teacher hasn't changed.

"Hey, seems like you didn't hide your mistakes that well either."

"Weird... Normally nobody should find out... have I grown rusty?"

I shrug and we start watching the others.

They all struggle, but there are a few who are better and a few who are worse. All in all we two are still the best.

After the lessons end, we have Mathematics and Sports. We then proceed to go Home again, parting ways at the Entrance.

"Goodbye!"

"Goodbye! See you tomorrow!"

We both wave to each other and then fly away.

I am excited for what else we will learn, for that, I don't already now.
