A brief silence filled the room as Estella finished her introduction. With her long silver hair and doll-like appearance, a couple of male students even developed a crush on her at first sight. But, who could have expected the cutie would break their hearts within just a minute. Meanwhile, Uphiar mumbled to himself, "This is why people say never judge a book by its cover."
But, Estella's antics haven't even started yet.
After finishing with her introduction, she took a glance at everyone and found the person who she was looking for. She walked towards a certain couple sitting together in the middle of the first row and stopped before them. Azzy's right seat and Claire's left seat were empty.
She tried to take the empty seat beside Azzy. However, Azzy stretched his hand and stopped her from sitting beside him. He said indifferently, "It is reserved for Gideon."
It was the first setback for her and she was embarrassed by the rejection. She thought, "There's a beautiful girl trying to sit beside you but you are not letting her? Hmpf. But, if I backed down, I will be laughed at." She shifted her attention to Claire and spoke in a tone like she was ordering her, "I want to sit here. Take the other seat or go elsewhere."
Looking at the scene, Lark bit his fingers feeling jealous of Azzy. Ever since Azzy appeared in his life, Lark, who used to be confidently lead everyone as the class president, began to develop an inferiority complex.
Meanwhile, Claire raised her eyebrows in response. Everyone shifted their attention towards the two girls to watch the drama that was about to unfold.
Leah was different. She looks perfect in everyone's eyes whether it was male or female, she's strong, possesses twin Arcana spirits, intelligent, very knowledgeable about advanced seals, doesn't display arrogance despite her stature being the crown princess of Camelot, the direct descendant of the Legendary Emperor Arthur Pendragon. Whether it's in looks, talent, or intelligence, there's hardly anyone who could match up with her.
So, Claire used to feel very insecure whenever Leah even had a small talk with Azzy.
However, Estella is different from Leah. There's nothing Claire had to be jealous of her. Except for looking like a cutie, she wasn't superior in terms of the body. If anything else, her body was even more underdeveloped than Claire's. And coming to the strength, Claire was also the holder of top-tier platinum grade spirit just like this girl before her. As for the status, she never heard of the Moon clan. So, Claire doubt Estella is a princess and thought she was probably noble at best. That makes Claire's stature even higher.
Adding on top of that, the situation is also different from the past. Not only Claire was stronger but she had already claimed Azzy. So, there's no sense of insecurity within her, instead, her blood boiled in anger when she was looked down on by this new girl who claims that she's here because of Azzy.
But, still, she couldn't just display hostility and start a worthless fight with everyone that is eyeing her boyfriend. It wasn't worth it. So, she decided to deal with it calmly but at the same time, showing her confidence.
Crossing her arms to the chest, Claire stared at Estella, directly into her eyes, "Get lost, newbie. I don't have time to entertain you."
Azzy who developed a bad impression of her due to her proclamation felt that his girlfriend took out the words from his mind. If someone tells him that, even he responds in the same way, although he wouldn't address the girl as a newbie though.
Meanwhile, Estella's face turned red due to Claire's befitting response. "You…" She clenched her fist in anger but before she did anything, Uphiar coughed twice and called her name to get attention, and then said, "Student Estella, please sit down."
Estella felt humiliated and felt rage in her heart. She has nothing against Azzy who stopped her earlier as she acknowledges his strength. But, Claire, on the other hand, is weaker or she thought.
This is the problem with conceited people like her. They will have huge egos and are vulnerable to insults. Even though everyone just silently stared at her, she felt as if everyone is laughing at her. She also knew that making a scene now will only deteriorate her situation further. Estella decided to take care of her during a sparring session.
After compromising for the moment, she took an empty seat behind them, ignoring Louis who is waving at her with a wide smile as a greeting.
"Okay, today is the first day. So, today, we'll about your curriculum for the next year but before that, you should at least get to know each other names." Uphiar then pointed at the eight-year-old who sat on the far left of the first row. "Let's start with you, little miss."
The lovely little girl with pigtails who kinda have similar features to Emelia as well as late fifth prince Leonard stood up on her feet and gave a lengthy introduction of herself, "My name is Anner Light, I'm eight years old and is a student of grade-4. I'm from Egrein city. And I'm not a member of the royal family, well not anymore, considering my grandfather Aegis Light was expelled a while ago. I'm a plant master (the one who controls a plant type Arcana) but I'm more into modern weapons like guns though."
The cute little girl then summoned her storage card and suddenly took out a three feet length weapon, weighs over 7kg, and showed a smile on her face, "this is my favorite weapon, gifted by my grandpa. It is called a rocket-propelled grenade launcher. In short, RPGL. It is used by the military to take out battle tanks. Although recoil hurts very much, once you get used to it, you can effectively use this weapon to take out the beasts from even half a kilometer away with ease. Of course, for that, you need a 90mm warhead though. But anyway, if you are out of them, you can just use soul energy and shoot them. It has an explosion radius of over 15 meters and has a firing speed of over 300 m/s. So…"
*Ahem* "Student Anner." Uphiar had to interrupt her in the middle, fearing that this little miss would go on a lecture and perhaps even a demo, wasting a lot of time. As she stopped and took a glimpse at him, he said, "Just name, age, native place, and little info about family is enough. We don't have a lot of time, you see."
"Ah, I'm sorry." The little niece of Emelia Light quickly apologized, feeling embarrassed about how she once again displayed her obsession with modern weapons. She sat down in a hurry and her best friend and rival stood up from her seat.
"Hello, I'm Flora, Age 8 and grade-4 student. I was born and raised here at Aclein. My parents are civil servants, working for the government. Nice to meet you." She smoothly finished her introduction and sat down.
