Due to declining interest, I have to state that I've decided to withdrew from this RP. Apologies.

Alexandria slept like a log, only having sweet dreams in her mind as she slumbered. And so it was only making her more displeased when the TV alarm woke her up earlier than she wanted.

"W-wha... What is that noise?" She sat up on her bed, groggily looking around while rubbing her right eye. She soon found out that the TV in her room was flashing, and it was proudly displaying the text announcing that yes, it was indeed the one who was making the loud alarm noise.

She yawned, raising both of her arms upwards for a stretch. She got off her bed, turned off the alarm with the TV remote, and then undressed herself as she was going to take a shower.

"Aaah...." She smiled in delight with closed eyes as she enjoyed the warm water the shower was giving to her. Not only that it cleaned up her skin, but she also felt that it was relaxing some of her tense muscles from the long journey the day before.

Finished, she dried herself off with the towel available. She dressed herself back with all new and fresh clothes, finding her old one starting to smell a little. Being clean was part of keeping the good name of Lionheart after all. The clothes themselves looked exactly the same like the old one however. She had a couple all similar to each other.

After she put on her shoes and did her hair, she went downstairs, finding that there were already a couple of students there.

"Good morning everyone." She greeted them as she joined in their partake of bread. She chose to have strawberry jam with said bread.

@Poppirious
Yeah, we could do a collab.

Alexandria heard Drakus' "retort" to her words. But she decided not to grace him with another answer. Hmph, I have nothing to say to a rabble who doesn't care about his family legacy.

She then listened to Torok's explanation on why he still hadn't manifested any magic. To her surprise, it wasn't because of some mistraining or anything. His family had tried to teach him on the subject, but he simply could not do it. "I-it doesn't make sense!" She blurted out once again. "No Legacy Reaper should be like that!"

She quickly realized that she might have been rude once more. And so she quickly added, "N-nevermind. It's not your fault after all. It's just..." she trailed off. It's just my own incorrect assumption... She finished the thought in her head.

Mel then brought up how some Reaper didn't really much on magic. Thinking logically however, she couldn't agree that it was ideal to be a magicless Reaper. "Magic is a significant part of the arsenal of a Reaper," she replied to her. "Without it, you might get by if you could compensate through your raw physical capabilities but you would still be much stronger with it than without it."

She then heard Torok trying to defend the terribly insolent boy from before. "Very good at making tough decisions? I only see him running away at the first sign of trouble," she replied, blatantly insinuating that he was a coward. "Those kinds of guys are selfish loners, not team players. He would definitely prioritize himself over the others." She then looked up straight to Torok's eyes. "I don't think taking a risk in trying to save everyone is a bad thing. In fact, that is how you should act as a Reaper. Never take the easy path. That's what my father always says. Taking risks is necessary for your growth, even if it means giving yourself more hardship as a result."

She finished her little speech with a remembrance of how harsh her training had been. Her parents would have her thrown into dangerous situations on her own without any backup. And she had to get out of there with her own strength, no matter what. She knew that they were probably watching over her from the shadows, but even when she sustained quite the injury that made her bleed, they still didn't come. The pain was enough to make her cry. But in the end, she had to bear it and finish the training, even with said wound. That's why they had taught her self-aid, so that she could sterilize, suture, and bandage her own wounds.

After hearing how some students were onboard with Luke's plan on seeing the kappa, she could only let out a sigh of defeat in response. "Fine. I'll go," she told him. "But like you said, not to swim. Just to sightsee," she emphasized. She was surprised though by how Mei reacted. She took her to be the timid type. But then, she said she was in, even though right before that she said it was dangerous, and how a cousin of hers was killed by one of them.

I guess she is less timid than I thought she was...

"S-sorry for your loss..." she said to her, referring to her cousin. She was fortunate that she had never experienced a tragedy like that in her family.

She could see how Deborah was the type to be interested though. And her words piqued her interests as well. Magical properties in the water? If they could help her in her duties as a Reaper, she would certainly love to take a dip in it for sure.

As long as there weren't any kappas.

The heiress then suddenly left. Something about the water? Was she cooking something in the kitchen?

She then returned holding a bowl of some strange dish she had never seen before. With a smile, she offered a spoonful of it to her.

"E-eh, w-what is this?" Alexandria said to her, flustered by the suddenness of the offer. "Some kind of food? W-well, I guess one spoonful couldn't hurt..."

She took the entire spoon in one gulp. She paused a little, assessing the strange, unfamiliar taste spreading in her mouth, until she exclaimed, "Mmm, that was delicious! I've never eaten anything like this before!"

She then blushed, realizing that she was embarrassingly being excited over food. Coughing, she added, "Y-yes, that was very delicious indeed."

"Good. Then it's a deal!" she replied to Alexander. Hunting had definitely become a hobby of hers, not just part of her needed knowledge as a Reaper.

"Going for a walk to the woods? At this hour?" She raised her eyebrows. "Are you sure that's a good idea? Aren't you tired?" she asked him with her arms crossed.

However, she didn't say no. With a sigh, she replied, "Fine. I'll go with you. I'm not that tired myself as well. Got a lot of rest on the ship." Boring rest, she added in her mind with annoyance.

Sounds interesting!

"Hello, Alex." She offered her hand with a smile after his introduction. "Perhaps we can go hunting sometimes. I can teach you a thing or two about hunting myself," she said with great pride, puffing her chest. She was taught how to hunt as part of her marksmanship training. And good tracking skills was part of being a good Reaper. She used to hunt with rifles that was half as large as her body in the private hunting site her family possessed. "As a Legacy student, it is my duty to teach Greenhorns like you at all things involving on being a Reaper," she continued. She didn't say it outright but she believed that Legacy students were naturally superior to Scion and Greenhorn students, thanks to their lineage and the training they should have gotten from their families.

Towards Drakus however, she was far less amiable.

...What is wrong with this guy?

When he declared that he wasn't interested in knowing any of them before calling them pathetic, she nearly went to grab her pistol and send a warning shot right in-between his feet just to make him take back his words. However, Enzo then proceeded to tell him off verbally, and it was enough of a victory that she changed her mind.

However, she had to say some words of her own. She walked up to him and looked him up in the eyes with her hands on her waist (she was quite the shorter one of the two).

"That's right. Who are you to act like such a bigshot, huh?" She told him sternly. "Are you even a Legacy? What Family do you come from? I want to see who your parents are to raise such a badly behaved children like you."

Satisfied, she left the arrogant kid on his own. She had no time to waste on such a person. Really, it was a shame that she had to share dorms with him.

She then watched as the man she waved at from before introduced himself. Apparently, he was named Luke Svenson, and he was a Scion from Denmark.

"Pleased to meet you, Luke," she replied to him politely.

But then, he out of nowhere suggested that they checked out the kappa pool, even though the headmaster already warned against it.

"Are you mad?" she said to him with an annoyed tone as she crossed her arms, leaning her body on one leg over the other. "You know the headmaster just told us not to go there, right? And the real world is nothing like in your video games!"

Corona enjoyed her breakfast mostly in silence, as her thoughts quickly went into her theorems and programs. She even summoned one of her bits to float around beside her. She could do it with just a thought due to her strong link with it and mastery of the summoning process itself. She needed it so that she could access the memory bank it had.

The sphere didn't give Allie any notice as it wasn't in its AI mode. As it was originally just a slave terminal to the instructions of the Mother Brain, it couldn't do or think anything on its own. However, over the years, Corona had written some rudimentary AI to it. Like "patrol" and "attack". If it were in patrol mode, it would have noticed Allie and scan her face. As it already had hers in its database of non-threats, it wouldn't do anything. However, if it were a stranger instead, it would send a message to Corona and ask to categorize the new face.

Esther on the other was a little louder on her side of the table. With a grin, she kept exclaiming how delicious the food was. Ever since she entered the Academy and got fed far more delicious and nutritious food compared to what she was used to, she had turned into quite the gourmet. Though she wasn't willing to cook herself. She just wanted to eat.

As usual, she was being a little bit careless with her dress. She would cross and uncross her legs on her seat, causing her dress to be draped further and further upwards. It didn't take long until her striped red panties became visible.

Esther finished her food first, drinking the entire remaining soup in one move. Then, with a satisfied sigh, she patted her full stomach. "Aaah, delicious as usual..." she stated with the expression of pure bliss. She then looked at Allie and asked, "Wasn't that just delicious?"

Corona finished soon after. After wiping her lips with the provided table tissue, she rose up from her seat. "Alright. Time to go, Esther." She didn't dispel her bit. She could handle walking to her class while doing computations in her mind. Her multitasking had become much better after her brain was transformed.

"Haah, I guess it is..." Esther answered. She couldn't help wanting to stay and rest a little after such a delicious meal. She stood up as well. Smiling at Allie, she said, "We have different classes, right? Good luck on yours!"

The two then left; Corona going to Sir Geldwin's class while Esther is going to Sir Kimbra's.

Alexandria watched as one by one they made their introductions. First, there was the peculiar girl who had a dog with her. Now that she thought about it, there wasn't a rule against bringing pets to the school. Especially when said pets were needed to help and guide their masters.

Indeed, only now she realized that the girl was blind.

She immediately felt bad for her. She couldn't imagine not being able to see your surroundings forever. Everything around you would be total, pitch-black darkness, and you could only sense the outside world through noise and sound.

Are you sure that you're fit to become a Reaper?, she thought to herself, looking at her with a mixture of pity and sympathy. But if the School accepts her, that must mean she's fit enough to do so, even if she's blind. Hmm, I guess with enough training, you can sense enemies through their noise and presence. And their smell too if they're one of the stinky ones. And there's the dog that could certainly help her around. I shouldn't be so presumptions and assume that she's incapable of combat.

She noticed how two of them decided to check out the fridge first, one of them being the heiress. The fridge, huh? She could certainly use some snacks, even though she already had her dinner on the ship. The heiress then returned, introducing herself at last. She gave her a smile. They were already acquainted after all.

Another guy then went to the fridge, before quickly returning, telling her that she should introduce herself first.

"A-ah, of course. My apologies," she replied with a little blush. Indeed, decorum stated you should introduce yourself before demanding others to introduce themselves.

She then turned to face the group. "My name is Alexandria Vesperantus, a Legacy of Lionheart. Pleased to meet you all." She gave them a curtsy as elegant as a curtsy could be. However, the effect was ruined by her flashing her black lace panties once more in the process as she raised the hem of her skirt.

The poor girl had always wore lengthier dresses back at home. Going to this school was the first time in her life that she wore such a mini skirt. She needed to, for ease of access to her gun.

"Enzo, huh? Nice to meet you, Enzo." She offered her hand to him with a smile after he finished his introduction. He was clearly looking unhealthy like he admitted himself. "And indeed, I do hope we would all graduate together as well."

The Asian-looking girl from before then introduced herself. She seemed a little nervous in the process so Alexandria decided to give her a pat on her back as a boost of confidence.

"Relax," she told her with a smile. "We're all friends here."

The man who got to the fridge first then spoke up and introduced himself. "Introduced" with large quotation marks, as he only said two words in the whole exchange. Alexandria gave him a little glare of annoyance as she felt he wasn't taking it seriously at all.

Another guy then took the stage of introduction. His name was Torok and he was apparently a legacy from Ivory. He was clearly one well-built man, especially when compared to some of the other men here. She could tell that he had trained his body well, and she respected that. She herself had her own physical training back home, though as she was a girl, and of the petite kind, she couldn't really "get ripped". Instead, she trained more in speed and agility instead of strength. It was also why her weapon of choice was a gun.

However, she gave him an irked look when he said that "every single person in the room is terrified". Hmph, she's certainly not terrified! Not in the slightest!

Wait, no magic? What does he mean? Don't tell me his magic hasn't manifested yet!

She couldn't believe it! How could a legacy not have manifested his/her magic when they're already this old? Didn't he get any training in the department?

"No magic? Don't tell me your magic hasn't manifested yet!" She blurted out. Ah, she did it again. Speaking rudely without thinking. She quickly tried to correct herself by saying, "D-did you not get any training at all in the department?" She didn't want imply that he was some idiot who just had no talent for magic even though he was a Legacy student.

When the silhouette appeared, she immediately aimed her gun towards it. With both hands of course. She wasn't some uncultured idiot who would only use one hand, especially sideways, for no reason. She could if she needed to in a quick combat situation. But for good aiming where the enemy was still far away, two hands made far more sense.

And then, the silhouette walked up to the light, revealing that it was not a demon at all. In fact, it was another human, just like them.

She lowered her gun though she still held it with both hands. She couldn't just trust this newcomer right away.

Only for her to realize that he was the Headmaster, causing her to blush at her shame for not recognizing him right away. She had seen his looks before from photos that her parents had. How could she not remember right away?

She returned her gun back to its holster on her thighs, making sure the safety was back on once more.

She listened to his speech with full attention, standing with her back straight. She would absorb every single word he uttered, just like her parents told her to. This was her first lesson, and she had to be the perfect student from the very start.

Hmph, it didn't scare me in the slightest. It's just wind and some ghoulish moanings. Nothing threatening in the slightest.

Losing to demons? I would never do that!

I am ready. No matter how hard the training would be, I would ace it and bring pride to Papa and Mama!

She couldn't help but feel sorry about the older students. They had only four hours to rest.

Well, such a thing just came in line with the job as a Reaper. She had trained for 24 hours without rest before. They should be able to handle something like this.

Alright. We can explore the campus and the village. And don't go to the pool. Kappas are there. Tuesday morning is when the classes would start. Got it.

The Headmaster then disappeared, and replacing him was someone whom she thought was more like a bear than a human. He was easily double her size, or even more. The Headmaster was intimidating, but this guy was intimidating as well in a different way.

They then followed him through a short forest. Even though it was a short trip, mosquitoes still managed to land on her legs and bit her there a couple of times to her annoyance. It didn't take long until their bites started to feel itchy.

If only she could master the flame skin magic. This would never be a problem. However, she still couldn't manage to do it without burning her clothes in the process as well.

Thankfully, they soon arrived at their destination. It looked to be an Oriental manor of some sort. Was this where they were going to stay?

As her last name was amongst the one called by the bear teacher, and him telling them to stay here, her suspicious was correct.

Oh thank God she didn't have to walk further into the forest!

She was also glad that the Burgundian Heiress would also stay there with her. She gave her a glance, too shy proud to express her gladness.

The boy from before took the initiative, and he opened the front door first. She noticed the sign on the front. So this is Lotus Building...

When she entered, she was immediately awed by the luxury inside.

It was just as good as back home!

There was a kitchen, which she would probably only use to make instant noodles since she's terrible at cooking anything else. The large screen to watch TV? That could be nice. She was always fond of watching action movies. A pool table? She had that back at home. She used to play with her parents and the servants. Video games? Unfortunately, she never touched those. Her parents never introduced them to her.

And then, there were two staircases. The magenta-carpeted one was for the female, she assumed.

The boy decided to throw himself into the sofa immediately before releasing a loud yawn afterwards. She resisted to do the same. Instead, she turned to the others and asked, "So, should we do the introductions now? Or should we just save it until we get some rest first?" with her hands on her waist.

Arkus Academy

Hmm, I can't figure out a good backstory for my character. Might have to sit this one out.
