After that day, time seemed to pass me by without my notice, and before I knew it, it was already the day after my 7th birthday. When I got downstairs, I headed straight into the dining room to have one of the maids bring me breakfast. When I walked into the room, I saw Walter sitting around the table. It looked like he had been waiting for me to come down, and when he saw me, he got out of his seat and walked over to me, "Sash, since you're old enough now, I want to give you a test which will tell me your aptitude towards magic." I felt confused by what Walter was talking about, "But you've been teaching me magic, don't you already know?" "Yes, that is true. Your Mother and I have been giving you personal lessons teaching you control, but we've only been teaching you the basics that all dragons learn, which helps you control your mana and some basic spells. It could have gotten out of hand if we hadn't taught you how to manage your mana." "Oh, I haven't been learning proper magic
The following day, Walter came to find me in the middle of the day while I was outside in my personal garden, "Sash." "Yes?" "I've managed to sort everything out, and you'll be starting school a little sooner than I thought." "When will I start?" "Tomorrow." "That's a lot sooner than I thought it would be!" "I know, but don't worry, your brother will be there to help you if you need it." "But what if he's busy?" "You still have the teachers at the school you can go to for help." "Ok..." The next day, a maid woke me up early, "Miss, you have to get up. You have to attend your first day of school." I tried my best to ignore her and sleep in, but the maid stole my blanket as I tried, "I'm sorry, miss, but the Duke has given us permission to do whatever it takes to get you out of bed." I sat up in my bed feeling groggy with my hair in a frizzy mess, "Fine..." I got up and sat in front of my dresser while a maid brushed my hair. As she did, I saw another maid enter the room thr
After I finished my 4th class of the day, I started heading to the cafeteria. While on my way there, I saw Garry waiting outside the cafeteria doors with a couple of other kids. As I went to pass them, Garry stopped me, "Sasha, I've been waiting for you a while. I wanted to ask you something." I couldn't help but feel anxious about what he wanted to ask, "What is it?" "Do you want to join the student council? Were made up of nobles, and there's still an open position." "What would I have to do if I joined?" "Just help us keep the commoners under control. There's a lot of them in this place, so we need more help." "Don't the student council have to help the students?" "We are helping the other students. We're helping them follow the rules. Commoners can't go around acting on the same level as nobles, so we have to make sure they remember their place. And I think you would fit in well." "I'm sorry, but I don't have any spare time to join the student council. Please excuse me. I w
After a long and gruelling magic lesson, forced to exhaust my mana and replenish it the entire time, I went to leave with everyone else. As I did, Terry called me back over, "Miss Hastus, I'd like to talk to you." I held back my frustration and anger and walked back over to him. He made me stand there in silence until everyone else left, "Now everyone else has gone, I wanted to see if you're willing to apologise to me now?" "What do I have to apologise for, sir...!" "For your rude behaviour before class and earlier today." I snapped, hearing him ask for an apology for that, "Why would I have to apologise to you for your arrogance! We wouldn't be talking now if you weren't so full of yourself and expected someone else to apologise for your terrible personality!" Terry smirked at my outburst, "I didn't hear an apology during that. I guess you want to keep up the higher level of training. I'm going to teach you to respect your superiors. Until you do, you can expect difficult lessons
After we finished the first half of our classes, Tasha and I started heading to the cafeteria. While walking there, I remembered Garry told me to go to the student council room to pick up the form to join, "Tasha, I'll meet you at the cafeteria. I need to go do something first." "What do you need to do?" I tried to put on a fake smile, "I just need to pick up a form. I won't be too long." Tasha could tell something was off about me but wasn't sure what, "Ok, just make sure you're not too long. You can't miss lunch." "Ok, I'll make sure I'm back with plenty of time to sit down and eat with you." After I said that, Tasha and I started walking in different directions. It didn't take me long before I arrived outside the student council room. When I walked inside, there was only one person in the room. He was tall with grey eyes and white pink-coloured hair. When he saw me enter, he asked, "Can I help you with something?" "I'm Sasha Hastus. Garry told me to come here to get a form to
Later that day, on the way home, Tasha was mainly oblivious to my depressed mood, so she was happily looking out the carriage window. On the other hand, Tom could tell that something was weighing heavily on my mind, "Sash, what's got you so upset?" "It's nothing important..." "Please tell me. I might be able to help in some way." "Please just leave it for once. It's nothing you can help me with. I can handle it on my own anyway." "How can you be so sure I can't help if you don't tell me the problem?" "Just trust me, you can't help me with this, so just drop it." After I said that, I could feel the carriage coming to a stop, so I got out before Tom had a chance to say anything else on the matter, "I'll see you inside." As I walked into the estate, Tom followed shortly behind me while the carriage driver took Tasha back home. Tom sped up, caught up to me, and stopped me, "Sash, can you please tell me? I just want to help you." I felt guilty that I couldn't tell him, "We should b
Everyone in the room looked at me, confused, when they heard I was a new member. A girl in the group got up out of her chair and walked over to me, and looked me in the eyes. She looked similar to Crimson with the same yellow eyes but much lighter brown hair, "So you're my famous cousin I've heard so much about?" I was thrown off guard by what she said, "Cousin? What are you talking about?" "I should introduce myself first. I'm the eldest daughter of Count Famious, Kat Famious. I'm guessing you don't know, but your Mother is from the Famious family. My Father is your Mother's older brother, which means we're cousins." "I didn't know that." "I guessed as much. I'm glad to meet you. Garry has been telling us about how he was trying to get someone new to join the student council; I guess that was you." I smiled uncomfortably, "Yes, I guess so." "Can I ask, is it true you've been able to take on your full form since you were born?" Garry stepped in, "You should get to know everyone
My time at school dragged on like it did in my previous life. 6 years had dragged by since I started, and I was 13 before I knew it. When I woke up for school, I went to my dresser and had one of the maids fix my hair like they do every morning. As the maid brushed my hair, one of the other maids laid out my uniform on my bed read. When she finished my hair, I turned to my bed. I saw a new piece of clothing with my uniform I hadn't seen before. It looked like a short fabric band with shoulder straps. Confused by what I was looking at, I asked one of the maids, "What's that?" "What, miss?" I walked over, picked up the item, and held it out to her, "This, what is it?" "Oh, the Duchess informed us that you should start wearing this now. She said you're at that age where you need to wear this to support your chest." I felt confused by what she meant, "Support for what exactly?" "For your developing chest, miss." I suddenly realised what she meant and what they wanted me to wear. I
