I already saw it from a distance, but seeing it up close it really looks all the bigger. This is the largestand oldestarchitectural structure in the kingdom after all.
Led by Ces, Urania and I ca to the royal castle. We were given a free pass on the (social status) inspection at the castle gates, which really shows a glimpse of the power of his authority.
I first thought that the class sorting exam would be held at the academy, but because the kingdoms geographical area is vast, gathering all the students coming from everywhere for enrollnt is difficult. So including the royal capital, six major capitals conduct the sa examinations.
The examination period lasts for a month. The exam can be taken anyti during this period, but I really stand out, so itll be best to do it earlier. This was Ces conclusion.
Our enrollnt is actually already confird, so Urania and I are wearing the prescribed Aureitas Royal Magecraft Academy uniform. We are wearing a dark-red blazer over a white blouse and a white and red checkered skirt. I hear that the boys wear pants with the sa pattern.
While I think it looks awfully conspicuous, the color white is limited to people of certain social status, so it can only be used sparingly and the color black isnt particularly well-received, so they cant use this too. And for academies that teach magecraft and magic, since its also risky if their uniforms dont stand out to a certain extent, these commonly co in red or green.
Among those, the magecraft academy is, on paper, known to be a place where both nobles and commoners are equals in learning, so they decided on using the red, signifying the red folk are the root of all social status. Still, they allow customizations and theres also no specification for the cloak. For that reason, Urania and I are wearing a white cloak, signifying that we are under the white peerages patronage.
Oh, would you mind waiting for a while before starting the exam? I still have so work left, you see. Sure, feel free to. Then where should we wait in the anti? Lets see, without the contracts and your debut finished yet, you still cant be allowed in the castle properly. Would you mind waiting around that area?
Saying so, Ces led us to the flower bed in the rear garden. Seemingly for those wanting to admire the flower garden, theres a lovely roofed bench and so tables there, so I guess they hold tea parties here?
Understood. Then well have a cup of tea as we wait here. Est, Im counting on you. Yes, milady.
Est gladly agreed to my request and started preparing us tea. The portable stove, teapot, teacups, and tea leaves are all inside the storage-use magical item, so there is no longer a need for to take them out of the Dream Storage myself. We have a wonderful variety of these useful magical items now, so my use of magic outside of combat has considerably lessened lately. Though in exchange, Ive been using more magic in making magical items.
After seeing Ces leave for the castle, I enjoyed teati with Urania. A variety of colorful flowers are in full bloom in this springti garden and are very pleasing to the eyes. I wasnt very knowledgeable on flowers while I was alive, so its a bit regrettable that I can only recognize a few flowers here.1
Seeing them with Urania and Est like this feels really fulfilling. Spending ti peacefully like this isnt bad at all.
Being thoroughly prepared, Est even prepared us so snacks. Rather, I know I gave her that storage bag, but it really seems like it fits everything, doesnt it? Theres just so much inside. Incidentally, todays snacks are cookies. Its from the main branch of the shop that sold the chocolate, and that crumbling texture as it enters my mouth is pretty fun.
Excuse ? What might you be doing there?
As we were enjoying the tea, snacks, and flowers, a voice ca from behind . Wondering who it is, I turned around and saw a fox-eared young lady wearing a red uniform similar to ours glaring directly at us.
I havent seen you around here. Considering your uniforms, the two of you seem to have co here for the academys exam. However, red folk wearing white is unpardonable even within the academy grounds. Take that off at once! Ha? This garden is not a place red folk just can enter willy-nilly. While you must be people invited by so noble, know a proper ti and place for your little attendant play!
Being suddenly commanded high-handedly, my brain spontaneously froze up. While its true that both Urania and I are red folks, since we are under the Iglesio households patronage, we wouldnt be punished for wearing white color. Additionally, Est is officially treated as my personal attendant and while it was only short, she received proper lady education. Theres no reason that she can just call this a little attendant play.
Youve got so nerve. Are you perhaps ignoring knowing that I am the lady heir to the Purple House of Ormos, Solarima Viola Ormos? Please excuse my rudeness, Lady Solarima. I am a guest apprentice sorcerer of the White House of Iglesio, Lily. Similarly, the one beside is also an apprentice sorcerer My na is Urania.
As the other party introduced herself, we introduced ourselves as well. I introduced myself in this way to Arryte too, but since Im employed by the Iglesio household, my position is that of a guest sorcerer. And since its necessary to first graduate from the academy before one can call themselves a proper sorcerer, Im still an apprentice for now.
The White House of Iglesio? Think of a slightly better excuse for your lies! Dont you know that the lady-heir-to-be of that household, Lady Adanalbus, is not even 10 years old? And a house guest? Ive never heard of that house welcoming a sorcerer! Even if you say so, its simply the truth.
No matter how much I explained to her, the young lady in front of wouldnt believe what I say. Hmm, how can I explain
Ah Are you finally ready to admit of your deceit? Of course not, here, look.
I handed Lady Solarima the official papers sent by the academy. This is the examination permit sent to everyone taking the exam, and it has the na of the examineenaturallyand the na of the noble backing them written on it. Sure enough, my examination permit has my na and the White House of Iglesio written on it, so she should understand that I really am under the patronage of the White Peers household.
No way really? Would you believe now? I-Im very sorry for my discourtesy! I had no recollection of your faces, Lady Lily and Lady Urania I was certain that Ive morized all the high-standing daughters and the apprentice sorcerers, you see.
Im sure that Lady Solarima is diligent by nature. She seems to have an admiration and respect for those clad in white, and seeing what looks like so commoners wearing white for fun was unpardonable for her. And being in the impression that she was in the right, she hastily went on the attack.
Lady Solarima, referring to us with titles is unnecessary. While we are under the patronage of the White peer, we are but red folks. For a lady of the purple peer call us that is beyond our status. Then Lily, Urania, please refer to as Sola as well. I would be absolutely restless if I was referred with a title by the guests of the white peer, you see. But Besides, the academy is, officially, a place where nobles and the red folk are equal in learning. There is no reason for us to be rebuked for calling each other by na.
After being told that much, I cant really decline. Besides, is this a first friend flag? Dog-eared Urania, cat-eared Adan, and now adding the fox-eared Sola Well, no? Im absolutely devoted to Urania, you know? Just as a friend and all
In that case, I would be glad to do so, Sola. Thank you, Lily. Nn, understood. Sola, friends. Yes, were friends from today on, Urania.
Since were here, I invited Sola to our tea ti and so the three of us had a blooming girls talk until Ces arrived.
Silva: well, this is the otherworld, will the flora in this world be the sa as earth? Lilith: Most authors tend to ignore that fact. That she can recognize even a few is a miracle
