(Sophia Valentine) -from behind a cloud of dust) so this is the human everyone’s been talking about

-Ari dying cause dust in her eyes and mouth-

-Out of the cloud steps out a small little girl-

(A-inner mono) -still dying from dust- a Loli…?

-As if she heard it the little girl grabbed Aris collar and pulled Ari down to her level. With great strength-

(SV) don’t even say it, don’t even have the look in your eyes, and don’t even think about it!

-Ari turning into a sweat blob nods furiously-

-The loli lets go and as if it never happened, puts on a smirk. Affluent aura covers her and the women behind her. Nose up in the air-

(SV) my name is Sophia Valentine. Yes, Sophia Valentine from the Valentinian family. Be grateful that I came to grace you with my presence. I am a kind lady after all

(Butler) -nodding furiously- yes, yes you are hime sama

-Ari's shocked face-

(A-inner mono) isn’t the valentinian family the owner of these fancy hotels on earth?

(M) Sophia! Good morning. To think you would come down to the beginner dorms

(SV) -nose in the air- I know, I know. My parents taught me to be courteous to everyone

(SV) -talking to miyu all chummy- how are you miyu? My parents thank you for lending some plants for our hotels. Yours are absolutely the best out of all the plants spinning people!

(M) -blushing- thank you. Don’t worry about it happy to help

-Ari stands in the background-

-Sophia then does a sudden sharp turn to Ari-

(A) !!!

(SV) since you are miyus friend and that the Flores family has good ties with the valentines, I will treat you as an ally. Don’t break the trust or I’ll crush you to bean paste. Hmph

-Sophia raises her hand and it’s taken by the butler. The butler teleports Sophia to the teleport island and they teleport to the academy building-

(A) ...

(M) once you get to know her she’s actually really sweet.

(A) …

After the morning drama Ari is led by Miyu to her first class: History of Magic

Ari is standing in front of the door stuck in place and doesn’t want to go in.

-standing in front of the door not wanting to go in- haha… Miyu. are we in any classes together?

(M) Yes, Scriptures and incantations with Dr. Geoffrey. Don't worry you’ll be okay. Ms. Douglas is super kind -Miyu looks around and whispers- Just dont bring up Dr Geoffrey

(A) huh? Why is she like-

-The school AI system comes on, with a mature womens voice it reminds the students that they have to be in class in 5 min-

(M) Sorry Ari I have to go! The council is meeting first thing in the morning so I can't be late!

-Miyu leaves in a hurry-

(A) ...

-Ari slowly reaches out to the handle of the wood designed door(designed in wood are the five legacy creatures hence the history of magic)-

-Ari walks into a lecture style room that looks gothic but like cute. Everyone hushes down and stares at her. Rows and Rows of seats are available. There are floating lamps that are cute. Little fairy lights cover the place and huge stacks of books are everywhere. The seats are cushioned with velvet and a very clean and pristine desk is in front of it-

(A-inner mono) this looks normal...i'm scared

(Douglas) Ah our new student! Come here, I made sure to save you a seat in the front sense you are our guest

-Ms. Douglas, a beautiful young woman smiles and elegantly waves to a seat in the front row but an end seat near the steps-

-Ari bows a little then speed walks to the front seat-

(A-inner mono) Kill me now.

-Ari can hear the whispering of the students and knew it was all because of her-

-Ari sits down next to a big girl (Helga Gordo)-

Ari nods politely while Helga just stares at her like an alien. Ari faces forward and is greeted by floating paper, pen, and notes. Behind them, Ms. Douglas smiles and gently places them down on her desk.

(D) It's been a long time since I had to print paper but I hope everything is there!

-Ari noticed all the other students had a magic like hologram with who knows what language written in it. The hologram is movable, it can lay flat on the desk or in front of you like a tv. Its like some magical interface that they can access all their classes and take notes by some magical way-

-Ari whispers a shy thank you-

-Ms. Douglas smiles and sits on her elegant stool with her legs crossed and hands to her chin ready to listen-

(D) Okay Ari, I want to know what you have learned about magic in your previous school

-Ari turns to ice-

(A) I..uh we learn that magic has been here ever since the start. Um…-sweating- we learn about how..”

-Ari starts sweating floods. People are whispering and snickering-

-Ms. Douglas smiles and saves Ari from her demise-

(D) Only that? What a shame. Well Our history of magic is much richer! Don’t worry, I will teach you everything I know

-Ms douglas stands up and the stool flies away. She lifts her hand to get attention-

(D) Now students, be thankful our guest is here. I will be reviewing our lesson, which means review on your upcoming exam

-Ari just a nervous blob-

-Douglas claps her hand and huge rolls fly from the shelves and open up. It's bigger than ari- Its a tree diagram of multiple diagrams.(family branches)-

=Ari wide eyes in amazement-

(D) Let's start! Can anyone tell me who the original gods are?

-A kid in the back yells the Gods and their names 7-

(D) -nods with approval- what were they created for?

-A girl in the front raises her hand and says “they were created for check and balance, to make sure everything runs like they are supposed to”-

(D) good, Let’s continue with...

——

After class

-Ari is the last one to leave-

(D) Ari thank you so much for coming here. Some of the students have never seen a normal being before and it’s a real learning experience.

-Ari nods-

(D) I’ve heard that dr G and miyu are going to do some experiments on you

(A) how did you know-..

(D) -chuckles- Geoffrey has been rambling on and on about how he’s excited.

(A) oh... i haven’t even met..

(A) ari. Please don’t be scared Geoffrey. He’s coming from a good place. He is a super sweet, cute, funny, lovely-

-Douglas catches herself and blushes and then continues on saying with her arms crossed-

(D) He might come off as strange but what I’m trying to say is. Geoffrey has never met a normal being before and he is excited. Please give him a chance and don’t be weirded out...

-Ari is taken aback but nods-

(D) -smiling- thank you.

-She pauses and puts a smile mask on and a hand on Ari’s shoulder-

(D) Also what I have told you is only between us. Please don’t share because that would be very unpleasant

-Ari, sweating nods, like her life depends on it-

(D) I will see you tomorrow. Make sure to review your notes, our exam is in a week!

-Ari nods and leaves-

——

(A-inner mono) -straight face- okay.... so she definitely had a thing for Geoffrey

-Ari walks down the hallway while people watch her and whisper and passes two doors and arrives at a short and stout one-

-Ari takes a deep breath and the. Opens it. Sad thing is she is short enough to walk through the door whereas others had to crouch-

-Ari walks into a very small classroom. Papers everywhere, desks are almost invisible. In the middle of the class . The only place where some space is opened is a frog. A frog floating in the air. He has a mustache and a monocle. He wears a top hat and is snazzy-

(Frog) -he kinda croaks but like in an accent- Greetings to our new student! Greetings

-The class is small with only 5 other people-

-Ari bows politely-

(Frog) -excitedly- sit down! Sit down! Just clear some papers and have a seat.

-Ari realizes he’s not pointing at the desks but at a little cushion on the ground-

(A)....

-Ari clears some papers and sits on a green velvet cushion. The students sit in a circle around the floating frog. Next to her again is Helga Gordo. Ari smiles and Helga Gordo just stares-

-Ari feels awkward-

(Frog) welcome, welcome to my wonderful class. You will learn about how powers come to exist

(Frog) I know, I know that it’s similar to history but we will break down how different types of magic work

Ari inner monologue: ooo this is exciting

Frog: “lets talk, let’s talk about the basics.”

Frog: does anyone know, know how we classify where each power is ranked?

Everyone is silent

Frog”irs okay, it’s okay. Actually there is no limit to which powers can go in which rank. They have to accomplish one thing. To have the vitality, how the user uses it, and of course strength/talent”

Frog: Take this, this as an example. A student has the power of flames bestowed upon them. There is another student with the same power. One student gets into a higher rank and the other doesn’t why? Well it’s because student A is more talented than student B they have unlocked their power evolution. Power, power evolution is a magical thing. We will talk about it later but basically, basically it’s how your base powers morph into the evolution form based on your aura. But. But student B didn’t get that evolution. This is because this student has no affinity with their element or wasn’t blessed by a god to rank.

Ari: gods can give you power...?!

Frog shakes his head: no, no like invisible magic, a god's blessing, depending on their strength, can really help enhance one's power to unlock its true nature. Magic is like what humans call a lottery. Magic is rare but if you have it, you are considered an anomaly. A beautiful anomaly at that. It really just depends on luck, luck

Ari is kinda disappointed but nods. She’s vibing with the teacher and the lack of students so she asks. “Is there a way....one can get powers without it being bestowed on them?

The frog picks up his monocle and whips it with saying “yes, yes but impossible. You need the original gods blood. They either have to die, which which isn’t going to happen, or you somehow get in touch with them and somehow convince them to spare you their blood.

Ari nods stops and thinks then says “there must be a reason why they aren't spilling blood everywhere

Frog putting on the monocle. “Yes yes very observant. It is said that the original gods blood is a part of their essence. So giving a drop of blood means a restriction of their power. They will become a fallen god. They are forced into seclusion and as weak as a normal human. If others find them, they can get killed.

Ari: wow...

The other students gasp too

One student: so the original gods are not invincible!? They have been here for so long and are so powerful.

Frog: now now, and Achilles has his heel.

Frog keeps rambling in and on about the gods and power and Ari is very into the class

—-

After the class Ari heads down to the first floor and spots miyu. Ari speed walks to miyu.

Miyu:ari! How is it so far?”

People flying but zooming into the diner hall. Some take a double look at ari because they realize that she’s just super normal and some because of her socks and sandals.

Ari feels super self conscious.

“Uhh it’s been good. I just really feel out of place heh...l” awkwardly laughs

Miyu: don’t worry it’s your first school day. Once everything is settled you’ll fit right in”

Ari nods and they both go into the dining room.

The dining room is busy. Almost all the chairs are taken up and about three flights of food stands where open. Are can see unique stairs each leading up to a stall. Ari is amazed

Miyu: this week our theme is Shoremere, they create the best sweets!.
