~Semester 1, Day 1~[/center][/h2][/color]

A pleasant, autumnal day in the academy of St. Sappho. The sun had started its ascent into the sky a few hours earlier, and birds could be heard overhead. A gentle, though cold wind blew through the noisy crowds that were bustling about the school grounds. It was the start of a new semester after all, and everyone was hustling and bustling around, going about their day and trying to get to where they had to for the first day of school and learning. Chances are, even if they missed it, they wouldn't miss much. First day of classes were mostly to allow the students to learn where their classes were and adjust to the schools atmosphere. Many students, clad in robes were walking up the stone steps to the entrance. And to greet them?

The headmistress herself.

"Headmistress." A passing teacher bowed his head as he threw a pleasant and casual greeting towards her. The woman, dressed in her usual indigo and violet colors returned the greeting, giving him a friendly smile and a wave, though her attention was more on the students. She made a point to help anyone she could on the first day. That, and...well, despite St. Sappho being open to everyone, and not just nobles, some of the more uppity nobles liked to cause trouble.

And she, would not have such chaos on [i]her[/i] school grounds. She made a point to make sure nobles knew that if they had some score or something to settle with another student, it must be done through official means in the practice grounds where proper safety precautions could be taken. Of course, she also wanted to help any student that might be otherwise having trouble. The school grounds were large after all, and it wasn't a surprise that some might get lost.

That...and well, she was expecting some rather big players at her school this year.

Lunalel Lightsword, the current daughter of the Lightsword Lord. A practitioner of light magic and a knight. The family was known for its kind ways of treating peasants and how it looked after them. Something Livia fully supported, though they were somewhat idealistic. She doubted they could do things the hard way, if they had too. Idealism was nice, but sometimes it wasn't a realistic outcome.

Swen Runvall. A prince mage, and a bit of a recluse from what she had gathered. Not much else she could know about him and his family, though. She had to wonder how he would adjust to life here. Not to mention that whole business with the arranged marriage to a foreign noble of a declining house, Gwynn Foghlú.

Ah, yes, Gwynn Foghlú. From what she gathered from her family...well. She was more than a little of a troublesome girl. She had been caught more than once stealing, breaking and entering, and a few other miscellaneous crimes. Of course, her family hushed all those rumors and had them all swiftly swept under the rug, but it was easy enough to have people investigate such things. It'd be quite amusing to see the Magierprinz deal with her.

And then there was Lukas Kunze. From a family of rather notorious flirts. She sighed, shaking her head at the thought of him at her school. Maybe she should see just how good he was at the whole thing? It'd be amusing to see how good the Kunze family was. She might pay him a visit himself. See how the young noble handled being on the defensive, hehe~

And lastly, the most troublesome new student on her list. She was a last minute addition that she couldn't really find any reason to say no too, no matter how much she had rushed it, and no matter how disastrous of an outcome this entire thing could have. Princess Lyssa Nemorienne Beelthanus. She didn't want to think about the potential disaster this single student could bring upon not just the academy, but also the world should something go even the slightest bit awry. She hoped the princess wasn't as fickle as her kin, sometimes. Otherwise, she was going to have to keep a close eye on her. She had been assured she was a 'perfect, sweet little angel' by her father, but...that was hardly an unbiased opinion. She had yet to discuss this with her teachers as well, but she'd need to make sure all of them understood not to get to hasty or violent with the girl if she did something out of place. At least, not without her permission.

...well, either way, it was certain to be an interesting year. The academy may even be graced with the presence of a few myths or legendary creatures as well...

For now, she hoped all the students were making their way inside to where they were supposed to be. Which was getting to their classrooms and getting acquainted with their teachers and each other before heading to their dormitories.

[color=f6989d]"For the,"[/color]

The green clad girl with bright pink hair stood in front of the school, an almost impossibly huge grin plastered on her face.

[color=f6989d]"Love of,"[/color]

She held her hands in front of her bouncing excitedly as she noticed the sheer number of people around her.

[color=f6989d]"Uncle Lucifer! Look at all these people! Aaaah, sooo many! I've never seen so many before!"[/color] Her odd...phrasing aside that got her a few strange looks, the pink haired youth looked like a kid in a candy store. She was bouncing from person to person, shaking their hands and brightly introducing herself. Even the more uppity nobles were at a loss for words from the energetic girls introductory skills from someone who was obviously dressed as a peasant. Well, a peasant that perhaps got their hands on some nice clothes to send their daughter to a school, but still a peasant.

[color=f6989d]"Ehe, this is gonna be so much fuuun!~ So many people to play with!"[/color] She giggled to herself, looking up at the steps. It was true, Lyssa wasn't really used to hanging around this many people before. Not that she wasn't shy, no, quite the opposite. She had just never had the opportunity to meet so many others before, despite her cheerful demeanor. Her home village was small after all, and there weren't many people there. She had never really been to school before either, aside from lessons by her father in martial arts and mother in magic.

She then stopped, mid introduction, sniffing the air and suddenly looking around as if she was a dog who suddenly smelled the juiciest steak.

[color=f6989d]"I...smell...sugar!"[/color] And with that, she bounded down the road, opposite of the direction of the entrance of the school, completely forgetting her entire reason for being there. The bewildered student who she had been introducing herself too, simply watched her retreating form with confusion as she rounded the corner of one of the buildings, losing sight of her quickly.

[@RabidAnubis] - Moain may want to physically drag her to the school

Unlike some excitable pink haired girl in front of her, an older blond hair girl wearing a green and gold dress, was less excitable. In fact, judging from her expression alone one might think she was wishing swift death upon everyone. She stood in front of the stone path on the school, grumbling to herself about why she was even here. Starting with a boring, long ship ride to the mainland, followed with weeks of traveling by carriage because her parents couldn't afford a decent teleporter to swiftly get them here. All for what? To marry her off.

Bah, she could have just [i]taken[/i] the money. Of course, she was strictly forbidden from doing such a thing because her father said that they were not bandits, marauders...[i]pirates[/i] like their ancestors. Yeah, well, what was problem from stealing money from bad guys and using it for herself? At least their ancestors could do whatever they wanted too, more or less. So she, was going to take a page from their book here. She turned on her heel, and walked swiftly down the street, intending to get lost in the small village that the academy was built around. She had no desire to go there and meet her 'betrothed'.

She didn't care what Moain would go on about. Unless she could physically drag her into that school, she wasn't going. Of course, she had no idea what she was going to be doing since she didn't exactly have a lot of money with her...her parents gave it all to Moain.

...

her walking slowed, shoulders slumping.

Uuugh.

She hated her life.
