Class S

This is bothering me.

I exhaled heavily again but it didn't stop someone from throwing deadly glares at me. This guy is mad at me after crashing his face on the marble floor even though it was his fault for picking a fight

"Alright, I will give the remaining hours for your daily exercises." Miss Vernovela said. The advisory teacher of this class. She's wearing a white long dress with some hints of gold, she also went in earlier with her white parasol which was placed at the side of her desk. She has a bright red hair that ends until her waist and she has this angel-like face.

S-class. That's the class that I am in. A class that consist of only nine students that is now ten because of me.

For a number that can be counted on two hands, the classroom for us looked so different from the classrooms that I saw earlier. This room has hints of gold as well as a strong wall that was made with magic.

"Miss Rioden." Miss Vernovela called me. Did she notice that I was not paying attention to her? "Daily exercises are your method for attendance. Since you are new in s-class, I will explain that you and your classmates are under the Executioner's command and team. You need to be active in physical combats as well as being trained with your magic." I nodded at her explanation but I was kind of curious about something that she said.

"Executioner?" I asked.

She gave me a smile. "Yes. The Official Executioner of Althea. Scarlet."

My left eye twitched at the name but I gave her a smile that she couldn't see.

"Scarlet is a woman who was said to be a great leader and commander. She was also said to be good in combats and in usage of magic. She was personally chosen by the headmaster himself so she was immediately put in into the title without question. She'll be the one in charge on you. All of you in s-class if a battle or trouble suddenly pops out of nowhere. Do you understand?"

I nodded and she smiled but it immediately went to a worried expression.

"But how did you not know about that when you were assigned in this class? No one told you about the responsibilities of an s-class student?" She worriedly asked me.

That made me think. Did someone really tell me those kind of things? Hmm... I think there was no one. How about the headmaster?

The grin of that old man with long brown facial hair that reached his knees suddenly popped up in my mind. That bastard... assigning me in a s-class without thinking it thoroughly. He's pissing me off.

After my long silence, Miss Vernovela went to me and tapped my shoulder. "It's okay. Just call me and I'll enlighten you with the things that you want to know. Okay?"

Somehow, Miss Vernovela's face became brighter. My eyes might go blind due to the intense brightness of her face. Oh no. Is this an actual angel sent from above?

In ten in the morning; all the students from the class-s are already out. We changed into our physi clothes. These are the clothes that we would use in physical activities and such. These clothes are what the students asked for. Some got those heavy and pricey equipment like an armor while others wore clothes with simplicity like just clothes with a few designs.

I wore my usual clothes. A fitted black long-sleeve and a fitter black short that ends above the knee. This is what you call simplicity.

"Whoa."

My head turned to where the voice come from. Her sparkling eyes looked at me and that made me confused.

Why is she looking at me like that? A woman with her blonde wavy hair is tied in a pigtail, wearing a dress that looked like petals, skirt was pumped and a staff on hand. She's a mage, if I may judge.

"You're the epitome of simplicity!" She said. The other heard her so the remaining eight people from our class looked at our direction. Wow, attention... I disliked it with this form.

"Her clothes may be..." A red-haired lady said awkwardly. She's wearing a two-piece suit with some holes on her shoulders and legs. "But the bandages are quite... exaggerated?"

"Maybe she's hiding her ugly face." Neodelle nonchalantly said, sitting on the bench with his tank top and pants. I refuse to believe that those are his work clothes. That kind of clothes won't get an approval from the officials.

But yes, he's still pissed because I made his face bled which is now okay. I heard the medical unit of Althea is in another level compared with the council of Athrenue.

"You're ugly?" The petal dressed lady asked me curiously. She's talking like people don't get hurt by mere words. Well, it didn't hurt though because I know what my face looked like.

Call me narcissist or whatever but I'm quite confident with my looks... But I can't be like that in my state. Well. Stupid bandages.

"Stop it, Lily." The red-haired lady stopped the petal dressed one. Lily? Her name made me remember someone. "I'm sorry for her behalf. You see, she's not quite considerate."

I shook my head. "No. It's alright."

"Thank you." She smiled at me. Wow. The kindness in her smile. I never saw one ever since I got in. All I ever got was... fire. "By the way, I am Delora. Delora Whitezon and she is Lilibeth Girgeza."

"Violet Rioden."

She nodded with a smile. "Pleased to meet you." She extended her hand as well as Lily's. Now this takes me back to Neodelle's handshake. I looked at him from my peripheral view and I saw him making face.

What is he? A kid? Pushing my first encounter from Althea's specific airhead handshake incident aside, I decided to accept their hands. Thankfully, no fire crawled its way to my body and tried to burn me alive.

After that, we started to run several laps in the field and some strength endurance exercises while other the other students in different classes continued studying.

Well, at least I won't look at those nostalgic books that I've read for how many times already.

When the clock hits twelve, we're already free to change our clothes and eat. I changed into my uniform and I was already out from the special locker room for s-class.

"Where are you going?"

My head turned towards Delora and Lily while the other girls already went away.

"Uh... Cafeteria?"

"Cafeteria?" The two repeated. They were surprised at what I've said. Why? Did I say something wrong?

"Y... Yes?" I uncomfortably said. I think I've said something wrong. Haa... Adjusting to a new place like this is hard.

Delora chuckled. "Cafeteria? We have our own place for eating." Delora said and took my wrist and Lily took my other wrist. "Let's go!"

After dragging me into the room, they went to a white door near the window at the left back of our classroom. They continued walking and I don't even know if they still remember that they are holding me. They opened it and I was in awe at the sight of the new room.

There was a large circular table at the middle and it was surrounded by white comfortable and delicately craved chairs. It was done gracefully base on its design and the foam on it seemed to be pricey too. Wow. This Althea is surely spending a lot for the s-class. The seven students are also there, sitting on their seats while munching on their food and all their eyes are on me. As in, all of them are looking at me.

The two dragged me to the counter at the side and said some names of dishes and the food immediately appeared out of nowhere with a golden tray and utensils.

I can't help but to be frozen.

Damn those riches. I could have eaten more when I was starving before if I have those golds.

The two taught me how to use it. I just need to press a button on the counter and say the name of the food that I like. It was easy and I don't even need to pay. The latter was surprised when a voice from nowhere said:

"The food for Violet Rioden will not be charged and will be paid by Althea itself."

The latter was confused why it was like that. Hoo... So the headmaster is in charge for the things he put on my plate? So far, it's not that bad.

At the moment that I sat down, all of their eyes focused on me. Now what?

"Is something wrong?" I calmly asked even when I was uncomfortable with their stares.

"Well..." The guy with a dark brown hair spoke. Wait. I already saw him somewhere. He looked familiar—I saw Neodelle beside him—oh I remember now. He was the one who came into the scene where he asked if his friend is interested with bloody marble floors. "How will you eat with that bandage?"

That made me stop from picking my utensils. If they could only see my face, I could've done a fake surprised face. They wonder on stupid things that I can't even judge.

"This world is full of magic..." I took my fork and picked a bite sized sliced potato. "And everything is possible." I added as I put my potato into my mouth. It went through the bandage and I munched it. Wow. The potato tastes like a potato.

They gaped as they watch me munch the helpless potato. They looked at me with confusion, surprise, amusement and then there's Neodelle who's looking at me like I ate dragon because of his horrified expression. What the hell did I do to this man to receive this kind of treatment?

A black-haired guy with an undercut chuckled after seeing me eat a potato. "It is true that with magic, anything is possible but not literally everything, Miss Rioden." He said. He gave me an impression of him as a wise man. "I am Vezkud Typel."

And after him, the latter introduced themselves to me. So to summarize, in class-s, there's me, Delora, Lilibeth or Lily, Virgo, Vezkud, Theodore, Brian, Vantel, Aaron and Neodelle.

Virgo is a strong and powerful lady. What I really notice on her appearance is her stoic expression but when someone caught her attention, it'll fall in a matter of seconds and break in a laughter. A cheerful lady that was presented with an intimidating face.

Velzkud and Vantel are cousins but Vantel has a blond hair compared to Vezkud's black hair. Aaron seemed to be the quiet one here. Theodore and Brian get along so well with the cheerfulness and Brian got a lighter brown hair than Theodore. They're both nice...compared to someone.

I immediately heard Neodelle sneeze after thinking of him as the example of someone that was the complete opposite of the word 'nice'.

I learned from them that s-class almost have it all. The whole floor for our classroom was actually ours. We have it all here. From rooms, games, gym, kitchen, living room, practice room and etc. How did I not notice that there's no single classroom in this floor?

"You're going back to your dormitory?" Virgo asked when she saw me near the door with my bag.

All of them looked at me, obviously waiting for my answer. Don't tell me they're sleeping in their respective rooms in this floor?

Well they're here years before me so it wouldn't be surprising if they're already comfortable just to walk around with their pajamas.

"Yes. I'll be going back now."

"Do you want us to accompany you?" Delora happily suggested but I waved my hand to her, telling her not to bother.

"You don't need to." I said. "I have somebody to walk home with."
