join me tomorrow gakerja, up early in the morning
"Your Majesty, Miss Daisy, please follow me."
A young girl approached us and spoke in a cold tone.
I smiled and followed him, with Daisy behind me. The girl ignored us during the trip, not even bothering to look at us.
When we reached the principal's office, the girl knocked on the door respectfully. "Chief of the School, they're here."
“Log.” He answered in a calm voice from within.
The girl opened the door and gestured for us to enter. I nodded and entered with Daisy.
Right now, we are at the Arcadian Imperial Institute. It was our first day here, so we had to meet with the principal and determine our classes and dormitories. Classes will start tomorrow.
I'm a little curious about the principal. He was known as one of the most powerful magicians in the empire, reaching the twelfth mana layer before turning fifty. He was currently sixty, and some people suspected he had surpassed the twelfth layer and reached the legendary thirteenth layer.
Counting the old butler next to Alice, the headmaster will be the second true powerhouse I met after reincarnating this time around.
Of course, when I say true powerhouses I mean those outside of the twelfth layer.
When we entered the office, we were greeted with the sight of a dignified woman sitting behind a luxurious table while wearing a mysterious smile.
The headmaster is a very beautiful woman. He had long black hair that fell to his waist, and his eyes were as red as blood. His presence covered all the offices and pressured us.
Despite being in his sixties, the headmaster looked like someone in his thirties due to his extraordinary mana. It was normal for people who trained mana to look younger than their actual age. Unfortunately, their longevity remains the same. If you want to live longer than a normal human, then you must surpass the twelfth layer of Mana.
“School Head.” The girl who led us here bowed a little.
The headmaster waved his hand casually. "Don't be too formal, Katherine. You know I don't like formality." He then looked at us with a judging look and narrowed his eyes.
"Another prince. To be honest, I've had enough with two princes and one princess. And now I accept the other …"
I smiled wryly and did not answer.
The principal's gaze turned complicated when he saw my expression. He then sighed and closed his eyes with a look of despair.
"Young prince, I will tell you something about this academy. As you know, this place was founded when this empire was born. At first, this was a place for nobles to send their children to socialize and study, but after that many years, this place had undergone many changes.
The headmaster then narrowed his eyes and looked at us with a strong gaze. "Young prince, in this place, social position is meaningless. Here, there were no princes, nobles, or commoners. We only have students." He then turned his gaze towards Daisy. "I saw you bring a servant with you, yeah. She looks like a talented girl. However, he cannot be your servant here! He will be another student! If I find out you are using your position to rule or make him do something against his will, then you will be punished! I don't care if your father is an emperor or a God himself! Do you understand ?! "
I smiled wryly and nodded. Actually, I like that rule. As a reincarnator, I regard the feudal system as obsolete.
But even though I liked it, I knew it was useless.
No matter how hard the headmaster tried to make the nobles and commoners equal, the fact was that the commoners themselves thought that they were under the nobles. Even if the headmaster said he would punish the nobles if they forced the commoners to do something against their will, he said, the truth was that no ordinary person dared to go against the words of a noble.
And even if one of them refused and was bullied, I'm sure it wouldn't get to the principal's ears.
That's how the real world works.
The headmaster looked at me. I could see a stern expression on his face, mixed with a hint of hope and distress. He is an idealist who wants to realize his dream, only to be confronted with the cruel reality of the world.
Even if she was Evelyn Humillitie, a bloody mage, and a thirteen-tier mage, she could not change the reality of this world.
The headmaster looked at us for a moment to make sure that we understood his words. When she saw that Daisy and I were nodding, she pulled her gaze and saw some paper on her desk.
"Pulse. According to this, prince Claus was in the fourth layer and little miss was in the third layer. I don't think it's too bad." He tried to check where we were.
But when he looked at me, he furrowed his brows.
"… Is something wrong?" I asked with a nervous expression.
"… No, no. I thought something was wrong, but it was just my imagination."
I wiped my cold sweat inside. You can't underestimate the instinct of a powerhouse huh. It was unexpected that he almost realized something even though my true MP was completely hidden.
As soon as he finished reading our files, the Headmaster asked us a few questions before nodding.
"It's everything for now. Katherine, lead the prince and the little lady to their dormitory and tell me about their classes and other rules they should pay attention to."
The girl who led us here, Katherine, slightly nodded and looked at us.
"Please come with me . "
We looked at each other before following him.
