The sky was an expanse of sapphire blue, dotted with feathery white clouds as the radiant rays of the sun shone brightly in the sky. Birds were whistling their harmonious songs, trees were rustling as a gentle breeze past through them. The temperature was pleasant, lingering around a 21°C.
The chattering of people was being emitted from the courtyard, making the Academy livelier. There was no uniform that the students had to wear unlike other schools in the neighborhood. Given the freedom, some students took it upon themselves to show of their wealth to others. The few commoners however could be easily spotted from the more natural clothes they wore, yet elegant in their own way. The professors could be recognized by the robes they were required to wear: a white base with golden embroideries sewn on it in the form of roses, they were of medium length, most of them hanging at the same height of their knees.
Then a voice which was full of authority boomed throughout the entire domain by amplifying his sound with a magical device (it resembled a microphone but powered on magic input). The principal’s name was Claus Von Deik, one of the strongest magic users of the kingdom hence why he was chosen to become the principal of the academy. It didn’t take long for him to establish a well-known reputation which spread even further than Cathonia alone.
”Welcome my students into a fresh beginning of a school year. You will be learning about magic and the working of Cathonia which will require a lot of studying and knowledge you picked up along the years as it will help you out greatly. There are also rankings based on your academic prestation, yes both in knowledge as well as practical. You can always climb the rankings after every evaluation which you will be notified about beforehand. Besides the ranking, there is the opportunity for you to join the student council which has a total of 3 spots available for the meantime. There will be two upperclassmen guiding you through the tasks if you decide to join so you won’t be like a chicken without a head. If there is any of you who want to establish another club, the minimum requirement will be 5 students and must be along the lines of the academy to be approved…”
The principal eventually ended his piece of information after about half an hour. Afterwards followed the introductions of the professors who were going to teach their subjects: magical combat, politics, magic control, statistics and language. A total of five which were a necessity to go through life these days. Those without magic got the magical combat and magic control replaced with literature and sales as they were probably going to become a shop owner, an employee at a shop, a sailor, a travelling merchant, etc. The options were practically endless these days as long as they gained some profit. Some even went astray and got dealt with by the knights once caught.
The information papers of the dormitory were hanging on the walls here and there for the first day only so people could check out who they were rooming up with. It was entirely at random and not based on epithet which sometimes resulted in discussions and eventual replacements of people as it couldn’t go on like that anymore. It mostly happened if they had to dorm with a commoner sadly enough but someone’s personality couldn’t be changed that easily, they mostly didn’t in the first place.

Straight snowy white hair, shining ruby red eyes complimented with a pale skin. Slender fingers with nicely polished nails in a neutral color went over the written words of one of the dormitory papers. Stopping at the exact spot of where her name was presented. A faint smile decorating her cherry red lips as she saw that she had the room for herself. It seemed like everything was decided at random as usually royalty would get the advantage of choosing a single room but not at this school which was nice for a change. Taking a few steps back as to let other students look for their dorm room. Adjusting her dress which represented a kimono, slightly opened (which was easier to move around in unlike the English ones). Made of silk which felt nice to the skin with a red base color. Thin lines of gold were placed so they formed birds, representing freedom. Underneath she wore a dress in white, gracefully completing the entire outfit. At her feet she wore closed shoes, climbing up until her calves in coal black, laces holding everything neatly together.
Today (on a spring day), there were no classes scheduled as it was the start of a school year which was nice. Wooden signs indicated to be followed for the books. Gracefully making her way to the library which was noisy just for the day. Waiting in line patiently until it was her turn. Upon saying her name, she received glances from her and there as her family was pretty well-known. Her father being the best strategist of the kingdom and her mother having a shop for dresses which were all hand-made. The best of the best. Her own outfit was created by her mother as well. Golden hair ornaments in the form of leaves decorating her hair was a present from her cousin for good luck. She got along more with him than with anyone else in the family. Yet, because he was out of the country, he couldn’t enter the Academy of Magic as of now which was a pity.
Upon receiving a brown bag where her books were placed in, she thanked the person and made her way out of the library and into the garden which was not too far of a walk away. Eyes widening at the beautiful sight where flowers adorned the pavement of grey stones. Several kinds of trees were placed in a way which made the garden look even bigger and a pond in the middle. Water lilies floating upon the cold surface. Butterflies fluttering out and about, if she was right, she recognized the Amber Phantom Butterfly, the Blue Morpho Butterlfy and the Western Blue Beauty. While giving herself a treat to the eyes, she sat down on one of the wooden benches, placing her bag on the ground. ”Beautiful” She muttered unconsciously as she took everything in.

A woman is most beautiful when she smiles.
