Chapter 99
Translator: HH Editor: HH
It had been awhile since I spent time like this. Of course, it wasn’t like life in the palace was bad, but I was never as free as I was now except for that time with Lucas.
Even until yesterday, I hadn’t been able to freely roam around because people might recognize me.
But no one in Atlanta looked at me strangely, whether it was because they didn’t care about a foreign princess or because they didn’t know.
My goodness, not caring about me. I was a bit touched. This wasn’t Obelia, so I guess no one would be interested in me.
I became less nervous and comfortably walked around.
I had become so used to life in the palace that the outside was a bit unfamiliar, but I quickly got used to it.
It might’ve been because my senses were returning. Of course. Since I was originally just a normal citizen.
The weather was warm and the view was nice. I continued relaxing in the freedom amongst people and returned to my room.
* * *
Mm. The door’s shut.
I lifted my head and awkwardly looked at the shut door. Right now, I was in front of a large building not too far from where I was staying. This was the school Ezekiel attended when he was in Atlanta!
But looking at the iron windows and the sturdy walls, it seemed difficult for an intruder to get it. Weren’t school walls supposed to be lower so people could climb over? Ugh. If you’re tardy to school, you really don’t have a way to get in this school.
“Hm.”
And seeing how there wasn’t anyone in front, it seemed like they didn’t accept strangers on the weekdays. Well, I could just use teleport, right?
I continued to think to myself in front of the door and decided to use one of the magic tricks that I succeeded in.
“Ugh, I don’t want to take the class. I barely finished the homework yesterday pulling an all-nighter.”
“I hope the professor doesn’t ask questions in class today. There’s only two people who answer, since the questions are so hard anyway.”
And a moment later, I succeeded in walking around the school without being since.
It was invisibility magic. It was the magic to cover myself with a thin sheet of magic and become invisible. This was a really hard magic spell! But I did it. My legend as a Great Magician starts today.
“Oops! We’re gonna be late. Let’s go!”
Right now, the place I was in was known as the biggest school in Atlanta, and it definitely had an interior fitting of it.”
In the middle of the classrooms, there was a beautiful garden and fountain, and there large empty space for physical activity. And there were six buildings that were all at least four stories.
Oh, was that also a library? I’ll have to go check it out later. Hmm, and that building looks like a dormitory.
I jumped around the students to avoid them and took an interest in what a female student said.
She said it was weird that there weren’t a lot of students today but class was going to start soon.
I crept sneakily behind her and passed by the middle of the garden and entered the second building.
I tiptoed to the door where the female student went. Before another student blocked me, I jumped inside.
“Did you do all of the homework?”
“Of course.”
“Ooh, then show me it!
Yikes. I almost bumped into a student that suddenly stood up. I passed by the noisy students and headed towards the back of the lecture hall.
“Hey! The professor is coming!”
But the moment someone shouted that, all the students rushed to their spots. After they frantically sat down, they opened a book that seemed like their textbook. A silence descended on them.
Huh? What was this? Did they suddenly become this quiet because the Professor was coming in?”
I heard someone walking, and a middle-aged man soon opened the door and entered. It was the professor the students had been speaking about.
“If everyone’s here, we’ll start class.”
He stroked his mustache like it was a habit and began class right away without even calling attendance. I was sitting down in a leftover seat in the back.
Wow. All the students here were excellent role models. They’re completely focused. Was it because a prestigious academy was different?
“Then what was George Mayon’s counterargument to the space-time theory? Student Remier Jeandarc.”
“Yes, sir. George Mayon took an example to the movement…”
The class was fun. Contrary to what those students earlier had said, it wasn’t that boring, and the professor’s explanation was quite easy to understand.
Mm. Although that might be because I already studied this all. The reason why I could understand the class being taught in Atlantan was probably because of those classes in the Imperial Palce.
I must’ve studied hard all this time just for this day. I felt proud.
Also, because it was the first time taking a class with other students in a lecture hall in this world, is was fun. It was almost a shame class was ending.
“Today’s class is up to here. Everyone give your homework to Lady Earnst sitting up front and may leave.”
Aw. It was already the end. It was 2 hours, but it ended too fast. Wasn’t there another class in this hall? Should I stay in here?
After the mustache professor left the hall first, the rest of the students rushed to give their assignments to the female student. I watched them from the back.
Lady Eanst? She was a student that was complimented because she answered the professor’s question well. Seeing as how she was in charge of the homework, I guess she was kind of like the class leader. But she had the same color hair as Ezekiel, so she felt somewhat familiar.
After all the students rushed out, the hall suddenly became quiet. I watched the girl in the front stack up the papers.
Creak.
Then, she finally stood up. Looking at her face, I was amazed.
Wow, I had only seen her back because I was sitting here, but she was really pretty. Like a duchess that would come out in a romance novel. She was only standing up from her chair, but even that was fancy. If my manners teacher saw her, she would be extremely pleased.
I thought she would leave the class soon, but she just stayed still. But then she looked back at me.
“I have to go now, but aren’t you turning in the assignment?”
At her sudden words, I looked around to see if there was anyone else left in the lecture hall.
B, But it was strange. Other than her, there was no one in here. And I was sitting in the very back, so there wasn’t anyone behind me. I turned to look, and I was right.
Frozen, I looked back up again. And I asked in a low voice.
“Me?”
