Getting Ready for Online Class

The next day came, and I found myself woken up being sandwiched on the two sides of my head. One is soft and warm, the other is hard and… less warm. I slept my head on Anna's bare lap, and she's now using it as a desk for her tablet.

I could smell a sweet scent on my nose, and as I look forward, our entire bedroom was filled with red mist. She's smoking fire candy right now, meaning she hasn't slept the whole night.

Fire candies are like a cigar that is made out of sugar and fire crystals. It was used by lots of fire soldiers as a replacement for sleep. My father used to smoke it a lot in his youth in order to pursue more knowledge by stopping taking sleep.

In the meantime, I could feel some lightweight object on my left rib. It was the tablet manual, what she's doing right now became quite clear.

"Good morning, butterfly." I greeted her without moving a single muscle.

"Oh?" She immediately remove her tablet away from my head as soon as she realized I'm awake. "Good morning, Dear Prince." There she found me just gazing at her with my sleepy eyes. She also took away the manual from my body.

"Are you learning the tablet?" I asked after readjusting myself into a more comfortable position, to see her more clearly with two eyes.

"I'm preparing our classroom with Chiya and a couple girls from our class, wanna join in?" She offered.

"Sure."

I got myself up and sat next to her with my back resting against the wall. She then put her tablet above both of my thighs that's currently sitting cross-legged and pleased herself to lean on my body. I held her tablet so she could just easily point everything with her hand.

I'm a bit surprised looking at our classroom, or… digital classroom, which was now fully decorated with colors and artistic touch. Anna said it was Renata the vampir girl who made them.

I may hate the Painter, but I recognize how unparalleled they are when it comes to art and beauty. Our group in the Crow Messenger now also had its own logo. A knight in lion's helmet.

"Sorry I wasn't helping with the classroom," I said to Anna.

"No worries, it was only girls who joined in anyway, it'll be weird if you were to participate." She closed her eyes along with her sleepy voice, clinging to me as if she just wanted to enjoy the moment.

"Ah… good point."

We spent the morning just chatting around while exploring the tablet until 700 hrs. After that, we went to bathe and dress for today's journey. We've already prepared for our luggage last night, so when 730 came, we went straight to the school gate.

Although before going, we have some breakfast along with Mother Adeline. Turns out the entire batch will be going with us to the Grand City of Tano Biro, or at least that's what she heard from her housewives circle.

However, whether we'll get the same missions or not… no one knows yet.

At 750, all the archstudents were already gathered at the East Gate of the city. There were lots of Talaria Cart wandering around the front of the gate with each team sticking near them.

Looking at other classes I just realized that they're also really diverse when it came to team composition. Apparently, those who share the same combat class cannot exist under the same class(room). And there are about 7 classes present in our batch.

Yes, it's an odd number, but the Musicians seem to really love that number.

"Your Highness, the Green Angel asked us to get inside our ride and line up for the convoy," Chiya reported as she's the one connected to Sir Devan as the representation of our team. He said speaking to 28 people is a lot less of a hassle than to 224 of us archstudents.

Well, -2 coz there were no Hada and Felisha.

"Affirmative, let's head inside Revian's room then," I confirmed the order and give it to the rest of my teammates.

The convoy consists of 30 rides in total. 29 from the archstudents and 1 from the escort group, it was Sir Devan and his men.

The four normal-sized team members rest ourselves inside Revian's room, while Althea's consist of our luggage (excluding Chiya's and Hazana's).

Alongside us in the Revian's room also present both of the Dragons' Kaoma bodies. They'll be needing that a lot since there weren't many buildings that were built to handle their size in the Kaoma occupied regions.

To make it even easier for us, the supervisor of each class will accompany their archstudents in this journey. Ours is Mrs. Senaria. She can easily create a soulless Kaoma body for anyone, then use [Link], Universe Magic that can transfer one's soul to another body.

Well, I'm not in the mood to use something even shorter than what I already am, so let's hope hers won't end up being used.

"The Green Angel already on the move." The ashen lady reported.

"You heard the scholar, Revian!" I said it out loud.

"Understood, Your Highness." The dragon moved as the front of the archstudent's line. The rest of the convoy then followed behind.

The ride is quite chill compared to the one we take to the Zoo since there's no high-level monster roaming around during the daylight. Although those Void fuckhead might actually come to greet us. Nobody can predict where or when they'll strike.

"Guys, one minute till 800!" Reminded Hazana with a bright face and excited voice. "Time for our first class for the day."

"Wait, Revian, Althea, how are you two going to watch the class?" I asked the dragons through the communication device while Anna connected my tablet to the classroom.

"Our [Link] can also be used to multitask, Your Highness."

When Althea answered, I looked at their Kaoma bodies which had been sitting right across me. They were moving, with the set similar to Her Holiness Austra, doll-like. Along with that rigidness of their motions, they could easily access the classroom through their tablets.

"Lit."
