Once they stepped on the grounds of Diamond Academy, Maria stuck close to her brother as she followed him to the Opening Ceremony for the Elementary Division. Diamond Academy was known to house three different divisions: Elementary School, Middle School, and High School, each with its own specific building and uniform. Maria was talking to Shirone and Kuroka, admiring the beautiful scenery of the academy as they bypassed a large gold water fountain in the shape of a fairy.
They also passed by many rose bushes and flower beds until they finally reached their destination. In a vast clear area located outside was a large stage with a podium located in front of the mass of elementary students that were excitedly chatting with one another; some even brought their valets or maids, who were loyally standing by their young master's or mistress's side.Soon a strict looking older lady stepped forward to the podium, and with one fierce look,Ms. Nancy was in a state of utter shock, lilac eyes glued onto that panicking girl who was just as surprised as her. 'Never has the Magic Delving Ball reacted this way... This girl... is truly unique.' Students had their eyes pointed towards those beautiful shining stars; one student was even about to reach out towards one of the glittering stars only to have the room suddenly return back to its normal state.Calming the class of excited and chatty students with a fake cough, Ms. Nancy beamed a smile towards Maria whose mind was still in shock. At the sound of her teacher's voice, Maria was brought out of her thoughts. "Congratulations, Ms. Rosendrey~! The type of magic you wield is Celestial Magic. A special type of magic which grants the user the abilities to summon beings from the Celestial World and use them to their aid," explained Ms. Nancy, though she didn't speak of the downside that this type of magic holds for its users out loud.
Seeing the small group flee the area, Shirone's face returned back to normal, offering a kind smile to the boy on the ground. "You are safe now. Though the one you need to offer your thanks to is my ojou-sama. It was she who ordered me to come to your aid," gently said Shirone, returning the doll the three bullies dropped on the ground when they fled back into the arms of its rightful owner.Julian was surprised to hear that someone actually sent their maid to come to his rescue. Most people tended to keep their distance from him, labeling him weird and frowning upon his interest in dolls. "If you follow me, I can take you over there so you can express your thanks, and do not worry. Our ojou-sama is very kind and understanding," Shirone explained softly to the timid boy who began following after her to express his thanks to her ojou-sama.In just a few seconds, Maria saw Shirone making her way back over and spotted the quiverin
"Congratulations, Miss Dior, you managed to summon forth your light magic!" Ms. Nancy congratulated Mai as the blonde girl wore a proud grin on her face.It was a new day and the class was in the middle of a Basic Art of Magic lesson. Ms. Nancy was instructing and guiding them on how to summon forth their magic. So far Mai was the eighth person to have successfully summoned forth her magic; a bright yet small yellow ball of light could be seen floating in the palm of her hand."Let's see, next on the list is Miss Snow!" announced Ms. Nancy. Gracefully making her way forward was the famous Beauty of Winter.Standing in front of the class, eyes cold, taking no heed to Ms. Nancy's instructions, Eira effortlessly summoned a sphere of water to form in the palm of her hand. Students watched as the water transformed itself into an ice globe, showing off her Bloodline Magic which was Ice-Magic.
"Alright, students, for today's exercise you will be learning ways to defend and attack using your magic," said Ms. Nancy as Maria found herself standing outside with the rest of her classmates on a lush green field which diverged into a forest a couple feet ahead. The students were out of uniform and sported sweatpants with a matching jacket. Worn underneath was a plain white t-shirt with tennis shoes on their feet.It was now time for their Defense and Enhance Magic Training as the students listened to Ms. Nancy explain today's activity. "Combat is one of the best ways for one to learn how to utilize their magic which is why all of you after entering the forest will be facing off against a few cute golems that I have created for today's exercise! Those devices on your wrist will keep score of the number of golems you’ve defeated, and the one with the highest score will be today's winner!" cheerfully said Ms.Nancy. 
‘S-So this is a Celestial Summon...' Maria continued to stare wide-eyed at the floating pixie until a loud roar from the gorilla golem brought her out of her thoughts. "Since I'm your master, I order you to destroy that rampaging gorilla behind you!" ordered Maria."Your word is my command!'' The pixie seemed excited for the chance to do battle. A spiral of flames formed around her hands, summoning forth dual crimson and gold ornate fans."It's been a long time since I was able to unwind! Let me show you my power~!" With just a single wave of her fan, fire scorched the ground, lashing out and cutting the golem right in half. Its dismembered rock body fell to the ground as the number one appeared on Maria's watch.'Wow, didn't think it would be taken out so easily with just one attack.' Maria stared at the chunk of rocks lying on the ground before turning her attention o
Right when Maria heard those words she instantly responded with a clear, "I refuse!" There was no way she was going to face Diamond Academy's Beauty of Winter, the same person who just so happened to take out nine golems in the past fifteen minutes while Maria had to struggle to take out one! She knew when one was put in a losing situation and did not see herself coming out on top."Why do you refuse? Is it that you are too scared to face me?" taunted Eira, acting all arrogant as she stood proudly before Maria, who was going to answer with a 'yes' if a certain blonde didn't step up to defend her."As if Maria would ever be scared of you, Icy! Maria, don't let this Ice Princess get to you! Use your Celestial Summon and show her who's boss!" cheered Mai.'Mai, I love you, but please stop talking!' silently begged Maria, hoping the ground under her feet would just open up and swallow her and her frien
"That jerk! It was that Ice Princess who threw the first hit with her water magic. Maria only retaliated 'cause she had to! And when Maria was on the verge of winning-" In the midst of Mai's explanation, Maria couldn't help but think, 'I don't think I was on the verge of winning.'"That darn Ice Princess unleashed her Bloodline Magic on Maria, who used her Celestial Summon to protect herself! Maria is innocent and that jerk of a prince is lying!" fumed Mai, not caring about the words she used to describe the crown prince of their country. If anything, she wanted to punch a certain crown prince in the face. Stepping forward next, Julian, who was usually quivering behind others, stood firm on his feet."Both Mai and myself can testify to Snow-san throwing the first hit and starting the fight that happened between both herself and Maria. It was clearly self-defense, so please do not expel Maria!"Summ
"Look, here she comes again!""She's so heartless!""I guess you really can't judge a book by its cover.""Wait, now I know from where I remember her from! It is from the night of the banquet! The lucky girl who got to dance with Richard-sama!""No way; that was her?! Now I definitely detest her!"Walking down the school hall, these were the types of whispering phrases that were being thrown Maria's way. At first, Maria believed that after a few days or at least a month everyone would have forgotten the incident between her and Eira Snow, only to be proven wrong. Sitting at her seat that was close to the window, taking off her pink coat with white fur-trim, Maria was now in her second semester.Months came and left, so did holidays, and before Maria knew it, the season was in its last quarter of winter as the month of February had arrived. The c
The girl occupying the female lead’s seat held extraordinary beauty with violet ombre hair styled in a complicated hairdo and skin fair and smooth like a doll. The mystery girl's face was shaped into an adorable oval with flawless features. Her coquettish silver eyes gave off a feel of loftiness mixed with innocence.'A peerless beauty has made her arrival, but why... does this girl feel somewhat familiar? No, better question! Who is this girl?!'"So I see the rumors regarding Duke Lancaster's daughter are true." Having finished her dance with Michael, Isis rejoined the group, eyes staring at the dazzling young girl who seemed close with the heroine's future suitors."There's a rumor go
Maria saw how Isis was still following the path the story set for her and recalled a crucial point in the story. 'Everything begins at this banquet.' Maria began recalling the intro of A Fairytale Romance.'Today will be the heroine's first time attending the banquet, which the academy hosts for new and returning students. Unable to blend in with the other daughters of high society, the heroine somehow wandered into the garden where she tripped and fell. A cliche set-up as the person she fell on top of was Alan, the male lead.'Maria remembered this was how the author wrote the female and male lead’s first meeting. In the
Walking into the dazzling lit ballroom, a now twelve-year-old Maria calmly took in the view that she, over the years, had grown used to seeing. She held the hand of her brother, Micheal. The young heir of House Rosendrey had grown into a splendid and handsome young man, standing taller and broader now that he was a high school student.However, Micheal's gentle smile directed towards his little sister had earned him many infatuated shy smiles from his female peers, not that he noticed.Micheal wasn't the only one who had changed; Maria did as well. No longer a chubby-faced elementary student, she had undergone somewhat of a growth spurt.Her round face now showed a bit of maturity wi
Earlier, right when Luna and Maria escaped with the captives and encountered an orc, Suzy cursed when she saw that the two girls were losing the battle. Deciding to trust herself, Suzy, when no one was looking, ran off. Not realizing the stupidity of her actions as she did not know the cave’s layout, she firmly believed that her decision was correct.'I'm way smarter than those little idiots! I'll get myself to safety!'Suzy regretted listening to the two young girls, blindly running until she found herself surrounded by goblins. 'No! Not again!' Suzy paled, recalling the day when the Murky Mountain residents attacked the city and kidnapped her.
Right after the goblin muttered these words, the door to his chambers was thrown open. A series of footsteps marched inside the room. "Hello~! Sorry for barging in unannounced, but you have someone that I need. So kindly step aside, and you just may avoid bloodshed!" Evelyn spoke in a merry tune. Feeling a hand tap her shoulder, she saw her lieutenant, the attractive stoic woman standing at her side, signal for her to move towards their right. Chained to a lame attempt at a makeshift bed, that was barely standing and draped with dirty rags, were four women, all weeping. Their clothes were ripped in many sections; their bodies were covered in cuts and bruises. Instantly there was a shif
The heart-wrenching sight of the sobbing woman drowned Maria's heart in sorrow. Walking over to the woman, she asked, "What is your daughter's name? What does she look like?"Noting the interest and pity laced in Maria’s tone, the woman wasted no time answering these questions. The woman grasped Maria's hands and pleaded. "She has dark brown hair and eyes; the last time I saw her she was wearing brown trousers and a green top! Does this mean you'll find my daughter? Please, rescue her!"Looking into this woman's eyes, Maria thought of her own mother, given to her when she transmigrated to this world, and pondered how her mother would react if she was in this woman's shoes.'Just like a hurricane, she would turn all the regions upside down search
Bracing her feet on the ground, Maria took off and kicked the orc right in his face. The force of her kick caused the orc’s feet to slide back against the dirt and almost toppled over. After regaining its balance, the orc came charging, clutching its club before swinging it down as Maria managed to block it with her arms."Oh no you don't, big guy! I'm not going down that easy!" said Maria as she leaped up and placed her hand on the ground."Earth Pillar!" A green spell circle glowed beneath her feet when a pillar from the ground shot straight towards the orc. The orc could do nothing to stop the attack as he flew straight out of the cave entrance before falling to his doom."As I said, I knew that bonehead would be perfect for a job like this!" Rub
The battle was fierce. Fighting on the forefront were the trolls and orcs, leaving the ambushing to the goblins. "These are Mountain Trolls, so they carry twice the strength of orcs!" yelled Rina, the female elf warrior, gliding gracefully through the battlefield with her sword.The female elf warrior severed the heads of goblins and trolls who came rampaging across the field. A little over three meters tall, body made out of rocks and dirt, a troll was ready to bash Rina with his fist, only for the woman to vanish and appear behind it in the air, severing its head."Mountain Trolls are strong but lack speed and fighting abilities!" The woman stood victorious over the defeated Mountain Troll’s body.Riding majestically into battle, seated upon a {Class-Ro
After rescuing all of the captives, Maria and Luna ran into a problem when one of the captives showed just how little faith she had in the two young girls. "Ha? You girls the same age as my younger sister trying to play hero? Don't overestimate yourself!" The girl spoke to them in an arrogant tone, tossing her dirty brown hair aside."You have courage, I'll give you that, but my Papa has definitely dispatched people to come and rescue me!" Suzy said in utter confidence, knowing just how much her father treasured her as his beloved daughter.'Knowing Papa, he dispatched the best knights available to come and bring me home!' Thinking of the Ritz's family mansion, she imagined the soft comfort of her bed and the sil
