Even if thoughts on Winter was irritating her, she managed to calm herself down, believing it would be alright, seeing how she was taking different classes than the original Seraphine.
In this way, Winter, who had same classes as original Seraphine, wouldn't cross paths with us.
But that bit of hope was diminished the moment she went for the first class— fencing.
All the new students were required to stand at the field and wait for the arrival of the teacher. Seraphine lined up in front of Kayden, and that's when, she noticed Winter stood beside her.
Because Moonstone academy was known training the knights, it was no surprise to see people from other nationalities, and often times, there would be few female students here and there.
Not all country was narrow-minded or behind as this Kingdom.
This is why, even if there was contempt for female students wh
As Seraphine turned her head, her eyes fell on that awfully family voice, and the immense pressure that she felt made it hard for the words to leave her mouth.Before she could answer, Winter smiled softly."The others had already all formed teams. We are the only ones left," Winter pointed out.Hearing this, Seraphine looked at her surroundings, and it seemed like Winter was being honest. There was no one left.Although Seraphine stopped trembling, there was still fear and caution in her eyes as she stared at Winter. Because she couldn't say anything, she simply nodded."That's great, then. I am Winter Cross, from the Kingdom of Anerxia," she introduced, "You can just refer to me as Winter."Seraphine took in a deep breath. Now that Winter couldn't be avoided, she would just act as normal as possible around Winter.'Whatever. It's not like I can do anything a
Kayden's eyes held strict disapproval when they stared at the wounded Seraphine. Other than the scratches all over her body, her lips were busted, and one of her eyes were swollen up.To say she looked terrible would be an understatement.Kayden's gaze made Seraphine lower her line of sight, knowing that she was in for a bad scolding.Even after Kayden warning her couple of times, Seraphine still went on and picked fights with the students inside the forest.The matter is that she never intended to avoid his words. But back then, she had a rush of adrenaline hit her, and before her mind could act, she started to move her body.Once she got into a fight, she found it to be thrilling and continued to pick fight until she exhausted herself out. Even after she got injured, she didn't back away and found her affinity towards getting into fights.Maybe she was made for this line of work.
Seraphine's eyes then fell on gray wolf ear headband, and cheerfully, she placed it over his head. Her preferences did lie towards something cuter, but since Kayden was usually associated with word wolf in the novel, Seraphine wanted to get him to wear this.Seeing Kayden wear that headband with that helpless expression on his face made Seraphine feel as if something was missing.When the realization had stuck her, she stated, "Why don't you make a fierce or domineering expression? Like this, you look too innocent to be wolf-like."Having read comics and novels, Seraphine imagined the characteristics of an wolf-like man. Although Kayden's visual was in line with it, too bad his countenance was on the softer side.Her words did make Kayden confused for a while. Meanwhile, Seraphine paid for the goods, and as Kayden carried the bag, both of them moved forward."As in?" Kayden questioned when he finall
Seraphine and Winter was warming up on the grounds. Kayden and Vincent both had classes prior to this, and so it would take time for them to show up.The discomfort she previously faced with Winter was gone, and even if she didn't share her personal sentiments with Winter, both of them had various topics to talk on.From she knew of Winter, Winter was the daughter of a wealthy count, and because of her interest in swordsmanship, she joined the academy, where both female and male students alike was permitted.In their Kingdom, there were more female knights than Meyton Kingdom.As Seraphine and Winter continued to discuss on matters here and there, someone bumped against Seraphine's shoulder, causing a frown to appear on Seraphine's face.Turning to face in that direction, Seraphine's eyes fell on an smug expression. There were two boys standing, and both of them mirrored similar countenance.
Looking at Seraphine who landed herself with a punishment, Kayden shook his head. He was only a little late to the lesson yet Seraphine was now assigned to clean the training field.Wearing a smiling expression on her face, Seraphine moved closer to Kayden and hugged his hand tightly. Sticking close to him, she vocalised, "Now that I am in this predicament, don't scold me and comfort me, alright?"Kayden sighed and said, "Do you want me to help you?"Kayden knew none of these fights could be blamed upon Seraphine even though she was more enthusiastic about them compared to her opponents.Regardless of how many times he had pointed out to her that she might get in trouble, she simply brushed off his words, and therefore, this didn't come as surprise to him."No," Seraphine answered, "I am not allowed to have anyone helping me. That Elliot, I mean, teacher Elliot, just how does he know I got into almo
Clayton's words were truly worth considering."Would that be allowed?" Seraphine questioned.Clayton nodded and answered, "Yeah, we were chosen to guide the students personally and are allowed to choose students of our liking."This caused a grin to form on Seraphine's face. Compared to other seniors, she was comfortable with her own brother and didn't think there was anything unfair about it.Others could only blame their luck for not having Clayton as their brother. What did it have to do with her?Indeed training with her brother can get a little rough, and it wouldn't be a good idea because of her current body aches. Nonetheless, this wasn't an opportunity she wanted to let go of.Her brother was busy all the time, and who knows when it would be she would come upon this chance?"Then, make me seem like cool, alright? Make sure
This did cause Laurel's face to contort. In her memory, although Laurel had heard countless apologies from others, never did she have to take the initiative to do so.For her, apologizing to someone was a mortifying act.Seeing how Laurel was being reluctant made Seraphine press harder against her stomach, and due to the pain, Laurel wasn't able to think straight."Fine, fine, I am sorry."Of course, that apology wasn't sincere. Nonetheless, there was nothing that could be done against it. People like Laurel are born without a conscience after all.One might say it was because Laurel was spoiled and not taught from a young age, but Seraphine did not think that was the problem.When she was child, it was understandable to some extent, but now that Laurel had grown up, surely she was able to discern the matters.The other party was Seraphine, and that's wh
Only when Seraphine was handed the test paper and she went through the contents did she realize she was being overly confident in herself.The corner of her lips twitched when she noticed how she was unable to understand around half of the question and relied on her intuition go answer most of the exam paper.It seems she did not have the female lead halo of being foolish yet managing to learn everything in a short period of time due to persistence.The more Seraphine went through her paper, the more her confidence shattered, and by the time she had to submit her paper, Seraphine sunk into a despondent mood.Thinking about how she was bragging in the morning to everyone, Seraphine wanted to cry out. This was indeed humiliating.No matter how hard she tried, she was unable to maintain a smiling expression and hold in her desire to bang her hand on the desk.To make the things worse,
