Ignoring the possible fan girls who wish to kill me, I know not all these hateful gazes were about the prince. But I could care less if they hated me. Let them. They can hate all they want. As long as they do not try to do anything stupid, everything will be fine. But once they do something that will harm those around me, I will need to take action.

“Faith!” A yell came from the right. I turned to see Grace running over with a smile on her face. I forgot Grace was of age as well to enter the academy.

“Hi, Grace!” Why is it that I have only said two words, and the stares have become even more intense?

“Hehe, I am glad I ran into you all. I was nervous about taking the test all on my own.” Grace said as she pushed by Adel as if she was air and reached out her hand. “Let me congratulate you on your noble title.”_-.

“Ah yes… Thank you.” I took her hand and shook it. But that only lasted a split second before someone chopped both of our hands, breaking them apart.

“Grace, what is the meaning of ignoring me!?” Adel yelled out.

“Oh my!? I am sorry, Princess Adellia, I didn’t see you there. Ho ho ho….. Anyway, Faith, or should I say Baroness Cyrilia, you are one of the youngest nobles here who is the head of their house. That is quite the achievement.” Uhhh… Grace, Adel seems to be preparing some kind of magic spell. I would pay attention to what is happening at your side.  I do not know why these two always fight when they are together, even though they can get along quite well at times.

“Both of you cut it out….” I said in a hushed tone. Adel, who was writing a spell in the air, stopped her actions while Grace folded her fan and bowed to Adel. “It is good to see you again, Princess Adellia.”

This time Grace gave Adel a proper greeting befitting a noble. Adel only snorted in response, though. At least she was not getting ready to attack.

“Oh!” Grace suddenly turned back to me: “Faith, be careful. I have heard from my sources that there are quite a few noble families out to get you. I have taken care of a few that were of lower status, but there are too many. I am not sure what is going on, but there are enough noble houses wanting to tear you down than I can keep count of. And this all came to be since yesterday.”

“I kind of figured this would happen but not so quickly.” I sighed. It was probably the Prime Minister who I forced to concede in front of so many. If my thoughts are correct, he is the mastermind before everything that has been going on with the assassinations. I do not know exactly what he is planning, but at least for the time being, the King knows to keep an eye on him. He is a smart man, so I am sure he understood the underlying meaning of my words.

“You knew this would happen?” Grace asked, her voice full of curiosity.

“Let’s just say I had a hunch. Anyway, any word on what the test will be?” I asked, changing the subject. Grace raised an eyebrow but did not try to push the issue.

“I could get nothing, and I tried every channel I could. But the Academy always keeps these things tightly sealed.” Grace answered.

“Yeah, even Father would say anything when I asked.” Lance added.

“I tried as well and even asked in a cute manner, but he only told me to wait until the next day.” Adel said while pursing her lips. She seemed upset that her cute daughter act didn’t make the old man budge.

“Not like it matters. Let’s just do our best and try to get  the classes we want.” We would not all be in the same class, which would stink, but there was nothing we could do about it. We all had different interests. And we were coming here to learn our trades that we wished to follow upon graduation.

Like I will be taking every course I can in military and working my way up to becoming a magic knight. This was the goal I set for myself, and I plan to keep it. I also wanted to read every book in the library. Or, more like I want to skim through them so I can steal the contents and imprint them into my mind. One thing I love about photographic memory is that I will always remember it all.

“The gates are opening.” Sophie whispered from the side. I looked up to see the colossal gates to the academy opening up. They had two carvings of knights holding swords carved into the double doors that stood so tall that I would have to crane my neck to look at them if I was standing much closer. Luckily I was standing further away at this time, so I could easily see what they looked like.

After the gates fully opened, a group of people who were walking on air appeared and passed through the entrance and stood up over all the examinees who were here to try to enter the academy. There was one old man in the front with ten others standing behind him, each varying in age.

Adel leaned over and whispered to me: “That is Aford Golorham. He is one of the strongest mages in the kingdom.”

Strongest mage… I wonder just how powerful he truly is. I kind of wish to fight him. I wonder if this makes me weird…. Is it wrong to want to test your skills against the most powerful mage in the kingdom to see where you stand? I think it is actually a good way to rate just how strong a person is. But I know I will not be able to do such a thing any time soon.
