14.

Inside the academy, I was really amazed by the atmosphere within it. This is very magnificent, I never thought in my mind that I would study in a place as magnificent as this. I can't wait to experience the teachings that will be given by every teacher at this academy. What will I learn next? Are they materials that come from books I've read? or pure material that comes from the understanding of each teacher? I can't wait for it.

Accompanied by a Professor, I was escorted to my resting place while at this academy. He explained that when the class period was starting, students were prohibited from leaving the academy and were not allowed to contact outside parties without their permission.

They give us the freedom on school holidays to play outside the academy, but we still have to get permission from the professor in charge of the class.

"This is your room, and your academy uniform is already in the cupboard," said the Professor. "If you have further questions, just go to the room where the Professor is, then look for me. If I'm not there, just ask another Professor, my name is Albert. Put on your clothes immediately because soon the opening ceremony for accepting new students will be held soon the event was held in the main courtyard of this academy."

I nodded as I said. "Okay, thank you Professor!"

Professor Albert smiled, before leaving he gave me the room key. Entering the room, I was amazed when I saw what was inside. One bed, one large cupboard for storing clothes, one shelf for storing books, and one table and chair for me to study. Isn't this too pretentious for me? even my room is only half the size of this room.

I decided to tidy up my things later, because soon I had to go to the main yard to attend the opening ceremony. This school uniform looked the same as the uniform worn by the young man I met earlier at the restaurant. The striking red clothes and long black trousers, I looked in the mirror for a moment to see how good I looked when I wore them.

If only I could show this to Mom.

On my way to the main courtyard, I accidentally passed a man who had just come out of his room. The man looks like me, the difference is the glasses he wears and his height is slightly taller than me

"Hello!" said the man with a smile. "Are you also on your way to the main courtyard?"

I nodded yes.

"My name is David, David Nuretta. Nuretta is my surname, so you can call me David like the others."

His gaze seemed to want me to tell him my name too.

"Isaac Zizara. You can call me Isaac."

"Hi Isaac, nice to meet you. Would you like to go to the main courtyard together?"

"Yeah, nice to meet you too David, of course, come on!"

I walked next to him. At first it was quite awkward, considering that we didn't know each other. But he started the first conversation which made the journey to the main courtyard which was quite far away, feel very close.

"Where are you from if I may ask?" he asked.

"I come from a village far to the south. What about you?"

"I come from this city. My parents forced me to go to the academy, because they said the children in my neighborhood changed for the better after going to the academy. As for you? Did your parents also force you to go?"

"No, but my friend suggested me to go to this academy, because he said it was very good for my development."

"Hm... you're the type of person my parents like." He looked very tired. "Even though I don't want to go to this academy, I prefer to study at my uncle's forge. From there I can learn to make tools related to magic. I doubt this academy will provide study material that suits my interests."

"As long as it's related to magic, shouldn't this academy provide materials that suit what you want?"

"I doubt it. Moreover, there are children from noble circles in this academy, they don't like living in hot places, which will make sweat drip all over their bodies."

In the main courtyard, I saw that there were already a lot of people gathered in this room. They had occupied most of the chairs, then I also saw the chairs leading to a stage below. If it's from the book I read, maybe that's where the professors talk.

For no particular reason, I wanted to sit in the chair on the left. But immediately David grabbed my hand and said that I couldn't sit there, the left side was a special chair for students from noble circles. Meanwhile, those of us who are just ordinary people are required to sit in the row of chairs on the right, together with people from various different races. I don't know the reason why our seats are separated.

However, as if he knew what was on my mind, David explained, "Discrimination against races other than humans is not something that is unknown in this country. Those in the human race always consider themselves to be the most superior to other races. So, don't try to mingle with other races, or you'll get the sap," he said, then we sat in chairs not far from the front seats.

While we were waiting for the event to start, troublesome things happened, "Damn commoners, just wait, you will receive our revenge!" said a young man I previously met at the restaurant.

Our eyes stared at each other intently for a long time, he was the one who had hurt Elena's feelings. I couldn't stand by silently if he did something like that to the mayor's daughter who had helped me get into this academy. For some reason David immediately lowered my head roughly, I tried to struggle but his strength was too much for me to handle.

"I don't know what happened between you, but let me tell you one thing, never mess with the children of nobles!"

"So what?" I asked in surprise.

"Just don't do it!" he replaced me talking. "Please forgive my friend's treatment, young master. He is just a child from a remote village who doesn't know anything about his position."

"Too late, just wait until the time comes!"
