"There are two kinds of students in the school, nobles and commoners. The uniforms and the places where they attend classes are different. The commoners wear light brown robes, while the nobles wear silver-white ones. Yesterday at the new student meeting, it was not easy to see the difference because they did not distribute the uniforms, but today on the way to class they saw noble children wearing silver-white robes passing by.
Most of the noble students came to school at the beginning of the school year and looked very unfamiliar, but there were also many weird people among the commoners who never went out. In short, everyone was not very familiar with each other.
Today the homeroom teacher will announce the grouping, three people in a group. This year there are eight groups of commoners in one class, two classes, and only five groups of nobles in one class. There are not many children with magical abilities. In addition to recruiting children with potential from other small countries around the Vogt Empire, Chester School has already achieved a great harvest this year.
It was somewhat similar to the classroom in Bessa's memory, rows of neat long tables, and something similar in shape and size to a blackboard in front, but it was a milky white gel.
The three girls sat together, and the most excited person was Ruby. "I don't know who will be in a group with me. It would be nice if they were easy to get along with."
"Don't worry," Bessa comforted her. "They must be gentle people."
"Bessa, who do you hope it is?" Ruby asked Bessa. "Are there any handsome people in our class?" She said so, looking around for a while, and saw someone who made her heart burn.
Obviously he saw her at the same time. "Oh my God, I'm in the same class as you. I should have known it was a sign when I had a bad stomach yesterday!"
"You had a bad stomach because you have a problem with your brain and can't tell if the food has gone bad." Ruby gritted her teeth.
"Again?" Della sighed softly. "This is probably fate. I can't control it."
"Huh?" Bessa blinked. "What happened last night?" She always felt that Della had something to say.
"They fought last night," Della whispered. "Although my brother and I pulled them apart quickly, you know..." Della glanced at Ruby, confirming that she was still paying full attention to arguing with Will. "I heard that Will was a famous gangster on a street before he came to school. He and Ruby fought but there was no one-sided situation."
"You mean...", Bessa's heart tightened. Could it be that Will had a crush on Ruby? Really? But it's normal for boys of this age to provoke girls they like. She never thought about this aspect before. Youth is really good.
"Yes," Della nodded seriously. "Ruby might be very good at fighting. It's really hard to tell."
No, definitely not for this reason. Bessa rubbed her forehead. Was she thinking too much? Was she thinking about things like an adult? Was it her fault?
Bessa looked at Will again, who was still angry because of Ruby's words. This guy was a famous gangster? You must be kidding me. Because Will and Steve sat together, Bessa met his eyes when she looked at him. A moment of stunnedness, Bessa hadn't reacted yet what kind of expression she should make, Steve had already smiled, Bessa hurriedly smiled too.
Although she had spoken to Steve, she didn't communicate much with him. Bessa still respected this thin and tall boy who looked gentle and kind and wore frameless glasses very much. In addition to Della's usual comments, she looked up at him like looking up at an encyclopedia.
When Miss Liss came in wearing a brand new bright yellow robe, the classroom that was not noisy immediately became quiet, and everyone stared at this homeroom teacher.
Miss Liss felt unnatural when everyone looked at her, stroked her messy curly hair on her head, "Good morning~my sweethearts~, is there anything wrong with my hairstyle~?"
"No," a slightly fat boy with a loud voice answered very cooperatively.
"Okay~, then shall I introduce myself~? Although we just met yesterday~," Liss didn't need chalk, she just waved her wand and wrote her name on the board. "My name is very long, you can just call me Liss~. I will lead you in the element class~ and let you learn to understand yourself~."
"Of course~, there is no need to be afraid~. In my opinion, you are all the best, so there is no need to be depressed because your color is not deep or your magic is insufficient when you test~. These are all uncertain~, what you will be like in the future is not entirely determined by that little crystal ball~."
"Ice, fire, water, earth, wind, light, and dark, no matter which one is worthy of pride~, I hope you don't forget this~." As she said this, Liss opened the little notebook she had been holding in her elbow, "Then let's start grouping~."
There were only eight groups, and it was quick to divide. When her name was called, Bessa trembled a little.
"Bessa."
"Here!" Bessa immediately raised her hand.
"And Ruby."
"Here!" Ruby and Bessa looked at each other and gave a high-five in the dark.
"And Isidore."
"Here." A clear voice that made people itch.
Bessa and Ruby immediately turned to look at their new teammate. When they saw the person, Bessa clenched her palms. It was the guy she met in the bathroom yesterday.
"He looks like a nice person, that's great," Ruby didn't know that Isidore was listed as a dangerous person by Della.
Bessa also followed her words and said, "Ah, it would be great if he was easy to get along with."
"You are the third group~." Miss Liss smiled, "I'm very optimistic about groups with more girls~." Blink.
Bessa and Ruby nodded like garlic, but Bessa had no bottom in her heart.
Bessa didn't pay much attention to the rest of the groups. Della was indeed in a group with her brother and Will, which made Ruby very incomprehensible.
Another group that caught Bessa's attention was a trio of triplets. The three of them looked alike, were slightly fat and not tall, and had similar voices. They just had different attributes. Della commented privately that they were "born for this place".
Miss Liss closed the booklet in her hand after assigning all eight groups. "If no one has any questions, then our groups are set~?"
Some people shook their heads, some were silent, only one person raised his hand. It was Will. He was worthy of being a famous gangster as Della said. Compared to most people's restraint, he waved twice with a bit of rascal air. "Teacher, how can Bessa and Ruby be in a group with one water attribute and one fire attribute?"
Bessa looked at Ruby and saw her face twitching with anger. "That bastard just doesn't want me to have a good time!"
Bessa was silent and didn't respond to her idea. Although Will often argued with Ruby, he hardly ever did anything that really hurt her. Even if he didn't like Ruby as Bessa had thought before, he wouldn't really hate Ruby.
On the contrary, Ruby was... Bessa had a slight headache. Sometimes she was too easy to explode.
"This reason~," Miss Liss didn't seem to decide to be angry because of Will's question. Instead, she had a bit of a "why are you asking now" feeling.
"Because the lovely Isidore is a rare attributeless~." Miss Liss said this and looked eagerly at Isidore. "This is a rare attribute for a hundred years~!" This kind of gentle elder state made Bessa shiver.
She only knew a little about these attributes. Probably only she had the least common sense in the whole class. So when she looked at Isidore with curious eyes and saw one of the chubby triplets deliberately move away from him, she frowned.
Children in their early teens are sensitive. This kind of action is really unpleasant. Thinking of this, Bessa looked at Miss Liss again, who still looked like she didn't see the rejection of Isidore around her, but continued to talk enthusiastically about the rarity of "attributeless".
Bessa didn't believe that a school with such gorgeous buildings and talent from surrounding countries would let such a teacher who didn't know how to teach children be the homeroom teacher.
But the fact is that Miss Liss just ignored the people's attitude towards Isidore and continued to talk about his uniqueness.
She withdrew her gaze and asked Della softly, "What is attributeless? Why do they seem weird?"
Della also lowered her head and covered her mouth with her hand and whispered as if she was afraid someone would see her mouth shape. "Attributeless is an exception independent of the seven attributes. It has only one ability 'devour'. It's quite dangerous. Those people probably think they or their abilities will be hurt if they get close to him. I have a deep impression that one of them had an intermediate mage ability outbreak and devoured a village."
Bessa blinked, "Isn't it a rare ability for a hundred years?"
"Yes," Della answered, "This record is from two hundred years ago."
Oh, Bessa lowered her head, according to Della's habit of reading all kinds of gossip, she could trust half of this record.
Ruby was still staring at Will, Bessa thought for a while, and interrupted the two a little embarrassedly, "Ruby, did you hear that? His attribute is 'none'."
Ruby looked up at Bessa and said, "Are you scared?"
"No," Bessa shook her head immediately, "I just want to hear your opinion."
"My opinion is that anyone is fine as long as I'm not in a group with Will." Ruby twitched her mouth fiercely, looking a bit really angry, "We can solve our own problems in our group, outsiders don't need to mess around."
Bessa originally wanted to persuade them, but she retracted this unnecessary behavior after hearing this sentence. However, what surprised her was that she thought Will would continue to talk back, but the other party frowned and looked at Ruby without saying a word.
Ruby didn't seem to have any intention of backing down either, and looked down at the new elemental textbook in her hand.
"Okay~, if there are no other questions, let's sit together in groups~, and get familiar with today's textbook~." Miss Liss clapped her hands to get everyone's attention, "Dear ones, please keep your voices down~."
Bessa dragged Ruby to sit in the third group's position. Ruby looked down at the book and didn't seem to want to talk.
Bessa looked at Isidore who was already sitting there, chuckled twice, "Hello, my name is Bessa."
The handsome boy didn't speak, and inexplicably produced a kind of pressure that made Bessa hesitate to speak, "Have we... met before?"
The boy lowered his eyes, his delicate face, clean eyes, and the voice of a teenager. "If your IQ is not lower than the average level, you shouldn't forget that we met yesterday."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Bessa's brain was filled with millions of wild horses running past, and a series of big "fuck" seemed to dominate her whole mind.
She really didn't expect that someone who looked like an angel would have this attribute. She felt sorry for him at first. She thought too much.
