Tori Transmigrated Chapter 94: Surprised By His Beauty

Where have you two been? Albert looked almost frantic as she and Ilyana rushed down the steps to get to their seats at the front row.

Its a long story, Tori said as they scooted past him. Ill explain after the entrance ceremony.

Did we miss anything? Ilyana asked, reaching for Sonias banner.

The host school just marched out. Lyce hosted last year, so theyll co out later, Albert said. Ilyana let out a breath of relief.

She and Tori unraveled Sonias banner and prepared to lift it up when Lyce passed. Albert and Ewan did the sa with JPs. Tori then passed her corner of the banner to Nanny Rey and picked up a square, hunter green cloth. The term bandana wasnt really used in Soleil, but Ilyana called them kerchiefs, so thats what Tori went with.

She stood up and turned around to direct their section.

Lyce du Soleil, ready kerchiefs! She called out as she raised one arm and twirled the cloth in the air. She got the groups attention and she watched them move to pick up their kerchiefs. Once they were all holding them, Tori pinched the top corners of hers to show them how to hold it. She then lowered it and sat back down to wait for her school to parade out.

Lyce du Soleils banners appeared at the entrance to the stadium and as soon as their bannern and won stepped on to the track, Tori stood up and turned around. She lifted her arms and the rows of people behind her stood up. She then lifted her kerchief up over her head and the rows turned into a wall of green and gold.

Lyce du Soleil on the count of three! Tori shouted. She looked over her shoulder, waiting for their schools entourage to reach them. When they were close enough, she scread into the crowd. One! Two! Three!

A wall of voices shouted out the na of the school at once, filling their section of the stadium. It caught the attention of their equestrians and faculty, who turned towards them and waved. Tori continued to conduct the cheering, barking orders and using hand signals. The spectators who joined for the first ti easily picked up the patterns.

Although the rhythm wasnt perfect and so people were slower or faster than there rest, the effect of an entire section cheering as one and using colored kerchiefs to make patterns and waves was enough to have the other schools look on in envy.

As both she and Ilyana expected, other schools had also made banners that year. But no one else had an entire block of the stadium organized as they did.

Do you think others will copy it next year? Albert asked as they sat down once their school had exited the stadium.

Tori let out a little snort. They can try. She lowered her hands and their group returned to their seats excited. She narrowed her eyes. I think we have so interest after this. We may be able to get a fixed group for cheering at events. If so, we can practice more elaborate waves and patterns.

I can almost taste the envy of the other schools, Ilyana said as she sat up straight and almost smirked. Tori chuckled and returned to her seat.

They began to spread out the food Albert and Ewan brought. Nanny Rey gave Tori sothing to drink, as she had been yelling and giving orders.

So, why are you two so late? Ewan asked, leaning back. You almost missed our entrance.

Ilyana shrank back in her seat and avoided their eyes as her cheeks reddened. Tori let out a heavy sigh and explained to them what happened.

The only thing we could do was try to buy tickets from soone to get back in, Tori said. The first few people werent interested in selling, but we found a couple who ca from Nord willing to sell, as their friend isnt participating in todays events, but will be for the next two days.

How much did it cost you? Albert asked, already cringing.

A pair of H2 coats from Lions Gate, Tori said. It was a small price to pay to get back to the stadium on ti.

Albert seed to think for a mont, as if calculating the cost. Each coat cost about three tis the amount of a single ticket. And that was if they bought the tickets far in advance or through their school, which was slightly cheaper than buying at the stadium in the week leading up to the event.

The point is you were able to return on ti, he said, with a final nod of his head. Tori nodded in agreent.

The group continued to eat and drink the snacks they bought. They only paused when one of Lyces equestrians were taking the field.

JP and Sonia trotted out in accordance with their year rank and upon their appearance, the stadium erupted with voices. Albert looked taken aback as he and Ewan waved JPs banner.

Theyre more popular than I thought!

They ranked as the highest first years last year, Ewan said. Everyone expects a lot out of them!

Im starting to get nervous for them, Ilyana said. I know theyll do well, but I cant help it!

Tori felt the sa way. They all seed to hold their breaths and sit up, tense, as they watched the twins go through their routine like mirrors of each other. It was almost entrancing and once they completed their performance, it took a second or two for Tori to refocus and stand up.

She imdiately signaled for their section to cheer, and it started the sa wave of yelling across the stadium.

Albert and Ewan kept a close eye on the scores and when it was announced, they nearly dropped JPs banner in excitent.

JP and Sonia were ranked first.

Perhaps it was her own bias towards her friends, but Tori didnt think anyone who ca after them did as good of a job. Two more pairs from two different schools managed to score a little higher, but not by much.

Miss Jas performance was quite good, as well, Ilyana said as they left after the first day. Not as good as JP and Sonias, though.

Shes pretty, Albert sighed. Sonias lucky. If it were , I wouldve agreed at once. His shoulders fell. No one ever gives a love letter.

Sonia and JP have many admirers because they stand out as equestrians. Look at the amount of people who were watching them today, Tori said.

Im sure theyll only get more attention after this, Ilyana agreed with a nod.

Ewans quite popular, too, thanks to the Sword Association, Tori said. People like energetic individuals. Ewan puffed out his chest with pride and bead.

Have you considered joining a club and getting to know more people? Ilyana asked.

But you havent joined a club and youre always receiving letters. Albert looked almost defeated.

Albert, Tori said in a knowing voice. Look at her. Shes not just beautiful, but shes very smart and generous. Our entire second year knows her for her study sessions and all the first years know her from the tours. Everyone thinks very highly of her. Ilyana flushed and hugged Toris arm. Ewan snickered as Albert groaned.

I think I will take up His Highness offer to be an aide, Albert said. That will get more exposure right?

Yes, but youd be standing next to His Highness Prince Piers the entire ti, Ewan reminded him. Not to compare...but people will compare.... Albert shot him an annoyed look.

You dont have to put it like that. I know I'm nowhere near as attractive as His Highness.

Having the favor of a prince isnt a bad thing, though, Tori said as they stood on the curb and waited for an empty carriage to wave down and take them back to Lyce. Diligent people are attractive in their own way.

Didnt you say that you didnt know what you wanted to do after you graduated? Ilyana asked. You can take up a personal aide training and position. I can see you in such a position.

You actually do handle stress quite well and are a quick thinker, Tori told him. Youre reliable and well-rounded. You fit in very easily in the social circles Piers needs to go through. You are his top pick, you know.

Albert furrowed his brow, but seed a bit satisfied with the praise. I suppose I can give it a try....

Hell need soone over the sumr since Axton will be back at the border for training. It may be worth it to try to start working with him, Tori said. Ill get in touch with Chamberlain Thorpson to onboard you.

Where did Master and His Highness go? Ewan said. He didnt say much, only that hed be doing so work the next few weeks.

Tori let out a little hum and asured her words. My brother needed help with arranging sothing and brought the two of them with him. Theyre his juniors, so he likes to take advantage of them. That wasnt a lie, as her brother certainly took advantage of Piers and Axton to take care of her. He said hell call when hes done. Im sure it wont take long.
