Such a head-strong person

Aria said, "I'll take the plain white shirt and blue pants. Uniform one."

The tailor was surprised, the assistant looked up for the first time from her slip and the man on the chair also raised his eyebrows.

Aria calmly looked at the reaction of all three, but did not say anything.

The tailor confirmed, "You want the uniform one?"

Aria: "Yes. Do these uniforms make us different. Like, will we be put into different classes or made to sleep in separate towers based on our uniforms?"

The tailor scratched his head, "Well, no. These choices are just here to make you all feel comfortable and yourself during the academy."

Aria said, "And there's no compulsion or limitation between these six?"

The tailor shook his head.

Aria: "Very well then. I'll have uniform one." She then turned to walk towards Helen.

The tailor stammered a little, it was clear that he had something to say. Aria turned around with a smile in her face, "Yes?"

The tailor said in a small voice, "I've never really seen girls wanting to wear pants."

It was true. All the three dresses were so beautiful that girls' eyes would usually light up at the sight of them. Many had even asked him if they could choose more than one.

But he had never come across a girl who wanted to wear pants.

Aria said as she held Helen's hand, "There is a first time for everything."

And she left, leaving the three adults and the two students in the room to be fitted dumbfounded.

After they came out, Helen shook her head, "Session has not even started, and you're already causing so much trouble."

Aria: "How was that causing trouble?"

Helen: "Why did you have to go and choose that uniform?"

Aria: "Will you believe me if I say I had no intention from the start? It's just that, dress four was too short to be able to bend properly, dress five was way too girly with all those frills, I cringed at the sight of it. And as for the last one, I'm not sure I would have been even able to walk properly in that, let alone attend classes."

Helen shook her head, "I've never met such a head-strong person."

Aria smiled, "So do you regret becoming friends with me?"

Helen: "On the contrary. I love how quick you are able to take decisions and once you've done that, you follow through them."

Aria felt embarrassed upon being praised like this. She rubbed her nose as she said, "Anyway, I'm going to get my books. Want to come?"

Helen shook her head, "Not really. I think I will get started on one of the books."

Aria rolled her eyes, "Nerd."

Helen chuckled, "You say that like you will not dive right into the books as soon as you get them."

Aria laughed as she led Helen back to her room before rushing off.

The session started the next day and their uniforms came on the third day. Up until then, they had been allowed to wear whatever they liked to classes. Not that any real classes were going on. The first day has been a tour of the castle for all the new students. The second day had been a test for enrollment.

Obviously, Aria had passed along with Helen.
