Building an Entertainment Business Kingdom In Another World

Episode 21 (REGISTER TO STACIA ACADEMY)

“Is this enough?”, I asked while showing a bag of gold to address to the shopkeeper. Their attitude suddenly changed drastically when they found out that we had a lot of money. I saw Sitha astonished as to why I had this much money when she knew that when I got to the city there were only 21 silver coins left.

“Where do you have this much money?”, Sitha asked me.

“I sold items from the results of killing Goblin Lord and Hell Hound, now choose the clothes you like”, I replied.

“No, the items here are very expensive”

“Consider it as a gift from me because you've helped me kill them”

I saw the shopkeeper who had been underestimating us suddenly follow us everywhere in this shop. He suggested a lot of clothes and always said ‘This is suitable for you’. To be honest, that sucks.

Finally Sitha chose 8 pairs of clothes all for 10 gold coins and 47 silver coins. Damn, it turns out that the money I spent was more than I expected but I have no regrets than having to see Sitha scared all day.

I saw Sitha looking beautiful using the clothes we bought from the capital. I didn't think that clothes could change a person so drastically. People started to notice Sitha with different views, they looked very admiring of Sitha's appearance.

“Why don't you buy anything there?”, Sitha asked.

“Nothing matches my taste there”, I replied.

“What if we look for it in other stores?”

“No, next time only. Right now we are almost too late to apply to Stacia” Academy

Sorry Sitha I lied, actually I feel that the price of clothes there is very expensive.

“Yes you are right, let's leave now”

We went to Stacia Academy, but on the way I saw a post office. I took the initiative to send 12 gold coins to my mother at home, the money was enough to meet the needs of my mother there for a year.

We finally arrived at the Stacia Academy. I told Sitha to go first. I'm sure that there will be a problem if Sitha and I go there together. I saw Sitha enter without any problems, she seemed to easily blend in with girls and boys her age.

All right, now it's my turn. I handed over a letter that the king had given me, but the guard appeared to have no confidence in me. He looked cynically, how could a child in tattered clothes and without weapons like me get a letter of recommendation from the king.

“Where did you get this?”, a guard officer asked me.

“From King Arthur, he gave it himself to me”, I answered

“No way, surely you are a spy who has dared to forge a royal stamp. Catch him”, a guard told his friend to ambush me.

Suddenly some people caught me and tied my hands. I tried to rebel, but their strength was greater than mine.

“Stop, what are you guys doing?”, I heard a familiar-sounding old geezer yelling to stop their actions but I couldn't see it because the guards had ganged on me so I couldn't see it.

“Sorry sir, it looks like this kid has faked the royal” stamp, One of the guard officers answered the old man's question.

“Try to show me”, It's like reading the letter, but unfortunately I can't see his face. “Let go of dia”, The grandfather said. Then they let go of the bond in my hand. The old man sighed then he said, “What should I say to the king if he finds out about this matter?. Then he said, “Sorry for the inconvenience son, hope you don't take offense”

I started to stand up in a fit of annoyance, why was it just that I was wearing a shabby shirt until it had to be treated like this. Even though I'm a poor boy, I'm not a criminal. Then I turned my face towards the old man.

“Ah turns out you are Andra”, replied the old man. It turned out that it was Mr. Leonardo who had healed me.

“Yes Mr. Leonardo. I didn't know I could meet you here. By the way what is Mr Leonardo doing here?”, I ask.

The guards were wondering why a child in shabby clothes like me could know Mr. Leonardo.

“I am the head of the academy here. May you be the one the king told?”, Mr Leonardo said as he touched me with his palm and invited me into the school.

“Please excuse me sir. Indeed what has the king told me about me?”

“He was very impressed with your talent. He said that there was a child who could defeat his soldiers. For 8 years he never gave letters of recommendation to anyone again, not even to his own grandson. You've given King Arthur a very high standard for a talented child”

“Hahaha no master, for a child who has weak magic abilities like me will definitely reach his limit”

“Oh no son, strong weak magic not from his strength but how to use it”

I can only laugh at Mr. Leonardo's words, I can't seem to deceive him.

“Thank you Mr. Leonardo, I said I had to take the entrance exam academy”, I say goodbye to him because I do not want to linger faced with intelligent people like him, one of the few secrets I can uncover.

“It's not necessary. For a child who has received the king's recommendation, he only needs to enter during the class placement test. If you want to go around, just do it. This is for you”, Mr. Leonardo said as he gave me a badge.

“What is this badge sir?”

“Plan that you are officially a student of Stacia” Academy

*****

I didn't expect that if Stacia Academy was this big, there were many places that actually supported its students to maximize their potential. But more importantly, all the facilities provided are free.

After being satisfied to walk around, I looked for Sitha everywhere but I did not find it either. I finally decided to sit under the tree behind the Academy. I didn't think there was such a comfortable place.

I was unconscious asleep under the tree. I just felt this sleepy after traveling for 7 days. It turns out that lazing around after working hard can be as delicious as this.

Suddenly someone elbowed my stomach. Aduuhhh. I opened my eyes, I saw a woman with yellow hair and eyes. She looks beautiful but evil like a medusa.

“Hah, medusa?”, I murmured

“Who are you calling medusa”, he replied.

“No I was just dreaming of meeting a medusa that hit me in the stomach with her elbow”

He looked pout as he looked at me with a murderous look and said, “Do you mock me?”

“No swear (i did it spontaneously)”

“Why can you get that badge?”

“I'm a student of Stacia” Academy

“I know, but only new kids roam the school environment in the holiday season like you”

“I got a recommendation from King Arthur”

“Mmmmm”, The woman muttered then said, “So you're the one grandfather talks about so often? I'm sick of hearing it every day”

The woman looks angry at me. Huh, what's with him? Did I not do anything wrong to him.

“I'm not sure, although we met maybe we only met one day”

“That's the problem, that's why I've memorized the story”

“It's none of my business, if you want to get angry just mad at your grandfather”

“I so could not get a recommendation letter”, The woman said in a high tone voice.  “While all my teachers say I'm talented”, he said in a quiet voice.

“Hah? Means in your grandfather's eyes, you're not talented enough”, I said. Honestly, I was annoyed to hear his words. How could I be blamed for something I didn't do.

“What did you say?”, his eyes turned sharp then, suddenly a punch was aimed at my stomach.

“Aduhhh...”, I spontaneously shouted and rolled on the ground while holding my stomach.

“I'm really mad at you. From today we are rival”

“Indeed you're already in here?”

“But”, It says slowly.

“Why do you dare to say that we are rivals when you have not attended school here?”, I replied.

“Kakeeekk”, The woman shouted her grandfather's name and cried and left me. I saw her turn around and pointed at me and said, “I Alicia Pendragon declare myself that from now on consider you, what is your name?”

“Syailendra Parikesit”

I feel funny about his behavior. It turned out that there was a spoiled and innocent child like him stating that he was my rival when we had just met first, even more strangely even he himself did not know my name.

“Iya it as my rival. I'll report you to my grandfather let him revoke your recommendation”

Then he left crying and calling his grandfather.

I feel like there's something weird here, Alicia Pendragon, Grandpa, a letter of recommendation. He is King Arthur's grandson. Shit looks like I'm dealing with the wrong guy here.

That day I could not live quietly.
