Chapter 10

“Still far for me to breakthrough. It might take me two weeks. The spirit energy here is really thin, but I should have fun while getting stronger.”

In the morning, Soheila opened her eyes and checked her rank level only to see that she's far from her breakthrough.

While Soheila was in deep thought, a noise came from her tummy.

She looked at the window on her side. “It's morning already. I guess that's why I'm quite hungry. I cultivated peacefully that I didn't notice that it's morning ”

She hopped off her bed, and said, “My six roommates should be resting now. It would be a shock if until now they are still talking in the living room. I wonder where are my two spirit beasts.”

The door made a creek sound when Soheila opened it. Soheila went straight to the kitchen as she couldn't feel any aura in the living room instead, she could feel that they're now separated, unlike the last time she saw them as they were together.

Soheila entered the kitchen, and she saw Sirene sitting on a chair while her hands are clasped. Her eyes were staring somewhere as her face was too serious. Soheila silently went beside her without making a noise afraid that she'll disturb Sirene.

She just sat there quietly giving Sirene a few glances. Perhaps this is the first time she saw Sirene with a serious face. Sirene became more beautiful when she's serious.

They really don't know each other that much. Like Soheila was quite shocked when she saw how good Sirene's cooking skills are. Although not as good as her, it was still at the same level as a five-star restaurant. It will take time for them to get to know each other.

“Oh, you're here! Good morning! I didn't notice you there.” Sirene all at once became a bubbly person just like in the past. Her eyes shine like a star, her smile that is too bright. She looks like an innocent person, but at the same time not because Sirene's eyes had a hint of matureness and cleverness.

“Yes, not that long. Just came here because I'm hungry. Good morning as well.” Soheila greeted back.

“Right, it's morning already and you didn't get a chance to eat dinner. I'll cook, what do you want?” Sirene stood up and went straight to the counter.

“Any soup would be enough. I'll just eat heavy foods later.” Soheila answered. She looked at Sirene who's now preparing.

“Hey! You guys are early!” Suddenly, a soothing man's voice came from outside the window.

Sirene and Soheila looked at Hector who entered the kitchen. Sirene just smiled at him as she was busy cooking for them. She prepared food good for all of them.

“Eh? I guess you've been busy cultivating that you didn't notice that you did not change your clothes.” Hector sat beside Soheila as he gazed at her from head to toe.

Soheila looked at herself. “Ahh, right. I totally forgot, I'll take a bath after eating.”

“Good morning.” A cold voice came from outside the kitchen. It was Ezekiel who directly sat beside Hector.

“Morning.”

“Good morning.”

Hector and Soheila said at the same time. Sirene didn't notice Ezekiel, and just proceed to cook.

After few minutes, Soheila's roommates one by one came inside the kitchen except for Maximo. Sirene was also done cooking and was now washing her hands.

“I'm done cooking. I also bought bread good for all of us from the bakery near the academy.” Sirene brought the pot full of soup to the table. After that, she brought seven bowls, a spoon, and glass, and finally sat beside Soheila.

“I got the schedule.” Maximo entered the Kitchen with a small envelope in his hands.

He sat between Zachary on the left and Sirene on the right which makes him the middle.

Maximo opened the envelope. “We only have four classes. First, history. Second, Meditation. Third, Physical Education where we practiced our skills. Last, fourth it is where we learn different kinds of cultivation, spirit beasts and their weakness, and more.”

“Well, I thought it would be 8 subjects.” Soheila thought that there would be a math subject the same as Chemistry. She thought that it would be the same as the one back on earth, just that it has a little change.

“Eight subjects? That never happened in an academy. Our family would teach us personally how to read and learn some basics. Such as additions, subtractions, multiplication, division, in short, math. Also, politics and more.” Maximo said to Soheila.

Soheila's face became weird as she thought that this world is really weird.

Sirene clapped her hands when she noticed Soheila's facial expression. “We should eat before it gets cold.”

“Yes, we should! Can we have some too?” Little Black all of a sudden hop on Soheila's lap.

Soheila smiled at them and gave them a small bowl coming from her spirit ring. She poured a soup on their bowl, and proceed to eat. She also asked where they came from that she didn't notice them everywhere.

Sylvie explained that they're at the balcony, and found out that Soheila and the others were awake already. So, they went to the kitchen together only to see them talking about a subject.

After eating, Soheila took a bath for several minutes. She wore a dress that leaves the top of her shoulders uncovered, however, the sides of her shoulder had covered and flows down into a modest round neckline. It's a close fit and looks simple.

Her arms have been covered to just below her elbows. The sleeves are simple, yet elegant. A perfect combination of grace and style.

The dress reaches just below her knees and is longer at the sides. She's wearing a gorgeous necklace that has her name engraved on it.

Soheila bid goodbyes to her roommates and left the two spirit beasts as she heard that the new students at the Blue Moon Academy don't have any spirit beasts. She didn't want to catch attention, so, she left them in Sirene's care.

“The library was really not that far.” Soheila finally arrived at the library.

The library's outer look looks like a small imperial palace. It looks elegant and graceful same as the inner look of the Library. The books were well arranged and clean. Tons of tables are placed in front of the bookshelves. It was clean and neat it has over 8 seats each.

When you entered the library, you could see a counter on the right side. An old man was sitting in front of the counter, perhaps he is the librarian.

Soheila went straight to the librarian to ask where are the books about the world.

The library looked at the lady who asked him. “C-1.”

Soheila thanked the librarian as she got her answer.

“C-1, C-1, right now, I'm at the A-1.” Soheila walks towards the first bookshelf that she saw. It was the A-I area.

“Ahh, there!” Soheila pointed a sign quite far from her. She walked towards it, and it took her several minutes just to arrived at the sign that she pointed at which is the C-1.

When she arrived, a bunch of books was organized well. It would really take her a lot of time to gain information.

“The library was huge! I mean, of course, it would be big, but this is not what I imagined. The library was the same back on Earth, it was not noisy and I could see a few students.” Soheila gazed around the library.

Soheila walks towards the shelf. “Will I read all the books about the world here? Such a hassle, but it is needed.” She took ten thick books about the world for her to read this day.

She went to an empty table and started to read one thick book. Since she had a photographic memory, it will be easy for her to read these books for a day.

All of a sudden, in a peaceful room, an annoying high-pitch voice can be heard around the library.

“Ahh! Why would I need to do an assignment about the world?! For I am the Second Princess of the North Kingdom! I would certainly tell my father to burn down this academy!” A lady in a luxurious dress full of jewelry. She's quite beautiful but not as beautiful as Luna, the Third Princess.

“Your Highness, we are not allowed to be loud in the library. The librarian will kick us out, and we could get punished.” A student behind the Second Princess said it to her.

The Second Princess glared at the student behind her. “So what?! I'm the Second Princess! Let me remind you! The Second Princess! That librarian is just a piece of old man, he should die already. And who dared punish me?!”

The students behind her shrink back afraid that the Second Princess would punish them instead.

Soheila went back to read and didn't mind the rant of a certain princess. However, just as she was about to read she could feel an aura coming towards her.

“You!”

The Second Princess saw Soheila reading books about the world, so, she went towards her.

She pointed her finger to Soheila and said, “You're reading about the world. That's good! Do my assignment. That's an order from me, the Second Princess. You should be glad because you would obey an order from a princess which is me. So be gla—”

“No.” Soheila rejected neither politely nor angrily which cause the Second Princess to be cut off.

The Second Princess's eyes grew wide, and he angrily shouted, “What?! I am the Second Princess! Don't you know that?! I'll remind you then, I'm the Seco—”

“So what?” Soheila asked, and remained in her seat. The other students who are just reading were now listening to them. They all surrounded the Second Princess and Soheila, but still give some space.

“The hell! I should punish you! My father also would punish you for disrespecting me.” The Second Princess was about to slap Soheila when suddenly her body was blown out.

It was embarrassing. Her body was full of injuries, her hair was now messy, her clothes were quite scattered, and her jewelry was blown away.

“Please, don't make a ruckus. This is the library, I don't care about your status.” An old voice coming from behind made everyone looked.

It was the librarian, and the librarian's hands were slowly coming down. Now they know who blown away the Second Princess.

Soheila was prepared to catch the slapping hands of the Second Princess, but it spoiled her plan when the librarian came. Nevertheless, it is still fine.

“Your Highness, please get up, it's embarrassing.” A student whose with the Second Princess whispered.

“Hey, you had the guts to attack me! My father will punish you! You fucker!” the Second Princess shouted after she got up. Not minding herself, she directly gazed angrily at the librarian. Her hair was messy that made her look like a witch.

“Your status here is a student, not a princess. If you have any problems, please, talk to the Dean.” The librarian calmly said.

“Ahh!” The Second Princess shouted again and looked at Soheila who's silently watching the show with a grin on her face.

“It's your fault! You didn't listen to me! You ugly bitch! If you just listened to me then I shouldn't be the one blown away!” The Second Princess's high-pitched voice was irritating that made the students held their ears.

Soheila looked at the stupid Second Princess.

“Number one rule: Don't make noise. It was written at the entrance. Are you, the Second Princess, is blind? Or just stupid?”

The students around laughed at Soheila's statement but stopped when the librarian clapped.

“Guards take away the noisy student.” The librarian calmly said as he gazed at the messy Second Princess.

After he said that, two guards came and dragged the Second Princess who kept on shouting that it was Soheila's fault

“I would like to remind you that you should not be noisy. This is the library, not a party.” The librarian walks away after he said that.

All of them whispered, but still, Soheila could hear them.

“The Second Princess was such a brat.”

“Her dignity was now gone.”

“Are Royalties like that? I heard the Third Princess enrolled yesterday.”

“Probably not.”

Soheila thought about the cold Luna, and she was very far away from the Second Princess' attitude. Soheila continued to read as she was now at the fifth book. She guessed that no one noticed her.

The thing about the Second Princess spread around the Academy for only an hour. They criticized the Second Princess's action and were mocking her. Also, they are now scared to make even a slight noise to the Library afraid that they'll be the same as the Second Princess's situation.

Finally, after hours, Soheila was done reading the ten thick books. She's quite hungry, so, she planned to cook back at the dormitory.

“Ah! I'm quite exhausted. All the books I read were all the same!” Soheila complained as she remembers that the ten thick books that she read are all about how the Sidee Continent was built.

It was said that the Sidee Continent was built when the four rulers were just high-ranked knights. The Sidee Continent was originally had one kingdom called the Sidee Kingdom but then a forest called Dark Impure was discovered in the middle of the kingdom. It was full of high-ranked spirit beasts, and it is dangerous to the citizens if a spirit beast went out of that forest. So, the ruler of the Sidee Kingdom thought of making a barrier, but that cause his life. The Emperor of the Sidee Kingdom didn't have any successor nor any family members. So that made it the citizens hard to think who's gonna be the next Emperor. But the four high-ranked knights talk to the citizens and to the high-ranked clans that they're going to separate the Sidee Kingdom and made it into four kingdoms instead. All of them agreed to their plan as it is hard to only one ruler to make a barrier. Still, they don't know who to pick for the ruler position, but the high-ranked clans suggested that it would be nice that the four knights should be the rulers. The citizens agreed since the four high-ranked knights are strong, second only to the Emperor.

All about the separation of the kingdom was all Soheila read. So, she was exhausted. It was like reading the same plot of a novel ten times!

Soheila entered the dorm and went directly to the kitchen. and saw her roommates with her spirit beasts eating that made her tummy rumbled.

Sirene and the five birds noticed her, and Sirene was the first one to act. “Come sit and eat. I made tons of delicacies.”

Soheila smiled at Sirene and sat beside her. She picked up the plate full of food in front of her and started to eat. As she was eating, Hector suddenly talk.

“I heard the Second Princess made a ruckus, and she ordered a new student to make her assignment, but the new student refused.” He talked about the news that spread around the Academy.

“That new student had guts, and made the Second Princess angry,” Ezekiel said coldly.

“Well, I would also refuse to the Second Princess' order. She thinks this is her territory, I wonder who's that new student is. Are you like that too, Third Princess?” Zachary laughed as he imagined how he'll be rejecting the princess, and laughed more when he teased Luna.

Luna glared at him and said calmly. “Of course not, Second Princess got her attitude from her mother. And we do not have the same mother.”

Soheila who's busy eating suddenly got interested in what Luna said. That's why Luna and the Second Princess are different in attitude and looks.

Little Black, who's on the table looked at Soheila and asked, “Master, where were you? You didn't tell us where you had been.”

Soheila looked at Little Black and pinched his chubby cheeks. “Library.”

To that one word, Soheila got her roommates' attention.

“You were there? Then you saw the Second Princess.” Hector said first.

“I believe that you are the new student that they're talking about.” Maximo gazed at Soheila.

Soheila just shrugged her shoulders and didn't agree nor answer back to them. She continued to eat since she was hungry.

Her roommates saw how busy eating Soheila is, so, they didn't bother her anymore.
