Chapter -2 Making friends
Lauran was deep in her thoughts and the professor called her. "Miss Lauran. State the observation of ammonia acting as a reducing agent with the balanced reaction.", said the Professor. She came and stood in front of the blackboard, picked the chalk and wrote the answer. Everyone where shocked. "Oh! right. She is bad at science, but it is my specialty. I messed up again.", thought Lauran. "Miss Lauran, are you taking tuition?", said the Professor. "Oh! I found my dad's notes when he was in this academy and he also helped me to understand the reactions in his way.", said Lauran.
Later that day, during the lunch break, the bullies came and started picking up on her. "Oh! Isn't this the rebel . You got smart just by falling from stairs.", said Haikai. Lauran didn't pay attention and finished her lunch. She was about to go to the cafeteria lady and Haikai made her trip over. She stood up and went to the cafeteria lady. the bullies followed her and when Haikai was disrespecting her parents, Lauran slapped her. The sound was so loud that cafeteria went silent. "You can dis me as much as you want but if you dis my parents I will take it personally. You need to re join the etiquette classes. HOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT MY MOTHER THE FOMMER EMPERESS OF OSTISIA!!!! YOU HAVE COMMITED TREASON. Be lucky that it fell otherwise your entire family would have been executed. Now excuse me, I have my fencing class. Know your place countess, there are many nobles with high rank than you. Besides, this academy is for everyone. We all are equals in this campus. Keep it in your mind.", said Lauran with death stare and moved to the training grounds.
She changed her uniform to the combat clothes and entered the arena. The teachers were an old man and a middle aged man. Everyone introduced themselves and the training match started but no one came to duel with her. "Uhhh! I wanted to use a sword for ages. Where are the other girls? Aren't they also allo-right. I am in a fantasy world. Stupid nobles.", thought Lauran. She saw that noble ladies were sitting in the audience ring and Duke Axlozer's second son came to her and said, "May I have a duel with you, my lady." "<What! He is Kaya's bestie! Well, I rarely got to see him in novel. Stupid writer .> Sure, I am commander's daughter, so don't go easy. Show me your best.", said Lauran.
They had a really good duel then every boy wanted to duel her. She won every duel and the only one who didn't was her cousin, Kaya. Her longest was with Henry Serio.
After the fencing class, it was her history class and it went a bit different. The teacher asked Lauran about the fall of Ostasia. The class became silent and she stood up.
"It fell because the leader discovered that by fighting in front lines, they are losing even though they were wining. She also found out that the enemy's Crown Prince, Garion Eran Asamoah, was on their side and was trying to weaken the corrupted council form inside. She knew who can help her and went to earth, were she realized that enemies are just like her. The ones who shall be punished were the elders of the state council not the people. For avenging her parents death, she gave the council what they wanted. The fall. The history never tells the truth, to please the corrupted nobles. Only the ones who have seen the real history with their own eyes and lived the person in the history can tell it to the next gen. I know the reason why the council didn't wanted the golden age back.", said Lauran.
The teacher tried to take the side of the council and Lauran shouted, "THEY ORPHANED A 13' YEAR OLD GIRL AND TRIED TO USE MATRIMONIAL ALLAINCE. SHE WENT THROUGH HELL.THRE WERE REBELIONS HERE AND THERE. SHE JUST COULDN'T SEE HER PEOPLE SUFFER AND THREW AWAY HER CHILDHOOD, PICKED THE SWORD AND LEAD HER ARMY TO SAVE THE ONE'S SHE CARED ABOUT. SHE IS MY MOTHER, ALLURA REN OSTISIALA, THE EMPRESS OF OSTISIA. YOU DON'T KNOW HOW SHE FELLS. JUST LOOK IN HER EYES, YOU WILL SEE THE PAIN. HER PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING AGAIN and she can't do anything. When I got to know my real identity I broke. How can I sit still and not know the suffering of my people. Sorry, I just lost my control.".
Everyone understood her felling. Suddenly knowing about being a part of a fallen empire's royal family and suffering of people due to corruption, you will broken down.
"I over did. Oh! Well it was worth it. I can become a night hero and help my people. I am on longer Toru Fusuma. I am Lauran de Asamoah Ostisiala. Yup, a very long name. Now I just have to change the story line, where can Bolt be. He is the main connector. I also have to bring the Crystals together and save Alex. What A long way to go! Frist step is half complete. I just need to get a few allies like Henry and brother Kaya. Rigth....Kaya has trust issues like uncle Hazo.", thought Lauran while coming from academy.
