The next day came the long-awaited first day of school. My sister and I left the apartment early for the second time, with our uniforms on, walking until we reached the turnoff. Before we went our separate ways to our classes, we stopped for a moment.
— Geez, little brother, you need to fix your tie," he mentioned as he adjusted it for me.
— You're right, but it's a little difficult; I still haven't found the technique," I said, laughing.
— Try not to get sidetracked, little brother. Be early and pay attention to your class. Remember that we won't see each other until the end of the day. Since I don't know when my classes are over, you'll have to go to the apartment alone. Don't get lost.
— Yes, you are right. The upper classes are busier than ours, but don't worry, I already learned my way around the day we went together," I replied with a carefree smile.
— Well, take care, little brother, bye bye.
After that, everyone went on their way. When I turned to see where my sister was going, I saw in the distance that she was talking to a gray-haired girl who looked like an elf because of her ears.
"Could she be the same elf girl you consider your friend? She didn't really lie to me. She seems cheerful. I'm happy she made it. Like her, I need to get better too."
I continued walking until, shortly before reaching the building, I met Gisei and decided to approach to talk to her. At the same time, she saw me.
— Good morning, Gisei, how are you, are you still angry? -I asked fearfully.
— No, I guess I'm not angry anymore, but if you don't want to die young, you'd better not bring that up again.
— Well, well, do you usually get up very early? It's still a while before school starts.
— I like to arrive calmly at the classroom, I don't like to exert myself unnecessarily.
— Now that I remember, the book you lent me yesterday was very interesting. It really helped me a lot to learn more about the people who study here.
— What? Did you finish reading it yesterday? -she asked in astonishment.
— Not really, I missed it. I would say I read three fifths of the book. I was surprised by what they explained, but I stayed in the best part.
— Well, still, reading more than half the book in one sitting is amazing. Even I, who likes to read, would take me longer. But since you say so, which part did you linger on?
— The part about the Fylkas. I read that they are the most powerful race and that they are called Uranus, but I couldn't read more than that. That part of the book was in black.
— I guess that's normal. Some books do that because it's classified information, not suitable for the common public.
— So that's how it was. Then I'll go to the library again to read some more.
Gisei's face changed to one of contempt.
— Surely you just want to go see the librarian, you degenerate. But for your information, she's probably not always there.
— How do you know that?
— So you did go to see her, huh? Tks. This morning I rushed over to get a book and she wasn't there. Also the first time I went, I only saw her when I got there. But this is because only a minority of students are interested in reading. They only focus on learning Combat Systems to become more powerful.
"Now that you mention about the system, will she know how to use it or did she only managed to get in with the theoretical exam?"
— Since you mention it, Gisei, can you use the system?
— Yes, but it's not very strong, why do you ask? Everyone in the academy can use the system, but most of us don't control it or it's weak. To enter the academy, you must have a minimum of knowledge and strength. That's what the practical and theoretical exam is for.
— Really? Well, the truth is, I can't use the system," I said with a nervous laugh.
— What, really, then how did you get in? Are you some kind of genius scholar or something? -she asked in amazement.
— I'm not really a genius, but I was able to get in thanks to my sister.
— How is that possible? I don't know of such a case. Even if you are noble and don't pass the exam, there is no way they will let you in.
— My sister belongs to class A, and she told the teachers that if I didn't get in, she wouldn't get in either, and since they didn't want to lose her, they had no choice but to accept me.
— What, your sister belongs to class A? -she said as she watched her soul leave her body.
— Yes, that's why I was able to get in, because I failed both exams.
— So she's one of those monsters who can do whatever they want? Listen to me well," she said grabbing my shoulders with a serious tone, "you better not tell this to everyone or it will hurt you.
— Hey, don't get serious.
— You have to be careful, I'm serious. It's very easy to make enemies. If any nobleman finds out that you broke in, the rumor will spread and all the nobility will be your enemy.
— Wow, I hadn't thought of it like that. I suppose it's possible. You're amazing, Gisei. But aren't you a noblewoman, too?
— You're a little bit wrong. My family barely reaches the rank of Baronet, but you don't have to worry about me. I won't tell anyone what you just told me. After all, we are friends," he gave me a small smile and a pat on the back.
— Haha, I guess I can count on you, boss," I said cheerfully.
"I was able to make a friend here too. How good it feels."
— I hope I can count on a friend like you, let's go to the living room.
— Sure, I'm your best friend. From now on, you'll call me boss. I like the sound of that.
— Hahahaha.
We both laughed and continued walking calmly to the living room. Once we arrived, I opened the door and, as a servant, addressed Gisei.
— You come in, Miss boss," I said with a bowing pose.
Gisei, playing along, stepped into the role.
— At last you recognized my greatness. Well, make way for me to pass.
After a few people saw us, without fear or embarrassment, we sat in the same places as on the day of the introductory class.
