Exiting the room, Jay led us down to the first floor opening the double doors . It revealed a humongous room, well-lit with touches lined with innumerable tables and sofas . One side connected to a vast library the other leading to what seemed to be a games room .
"Surprisingly quiet . " Jay said walking in .
"Yeah I think everyone is still recovering from the Demon Lord incident . " Daisy added .
The room still contained some students, mainly small groups still looking slightly shaken from the whole ordeal, some even looking physically traumatized . Walking in some students looked at us and began chatting .
"Hmmm . . . . How comes everyone is Human except Daisy?" I asked Jay noticing everyone seemed to be human .
"That's because other races tend to stay with their own race and schools . " Jay answered .
"Oh . . . . " I replied, looking at Daisy worried she would feel alienated .
"Meh . . . I thought this place would lighten up the mood . . . . " Jay said scratching his head .
"Let's just take a seat and chat then . " I suggested walking to the sofa taking a seat .
"Sure . " Daisy smiled following me taking a seat beside me and Jay on the other side .
'It was good to see her smiling again, I felt slightly worried for her seeing her in that other state base at the arena . . . ' "So what's the world like? . . . . " I asked Jay curiously .
"Hmmmm . . . . normal stuff really . . . Many different race some good some bad . . . . Many Creatures . . . . . Legends . . . . myths . . . . . " He answered beginning to make a list .
"I'm sure there's compendium of Historic events and lists of monsters and myths in the library and we have History Class . " Daisy added .
"Is that library? . . . " I pointed in the large area filled with book shelves and books .
"Kinda . . . that just basic books . If you want to read about broader things then the main library in the main building is where you want to go . " Jay Answered .
"So do we all have the same classes together? . . . " I asked hoping .
"Yeah First years we only learn some basic spells and fundamentals and in the later years we can pick additional subject . " Jay explained .
"That's great!!! Does that mean we are gonna be together?" I smiled .
"Yes we will . " They both smiled .
"Ohhh . . . By the way did I miss anything? While I was out . . . . I was gone for 2 days right? . . " I asked
"Ohh yeah . . . . well remind me tomorrow, when we go to Basic Spell Casing class . . . So Professor Meha so you can get the Prismatic Pearl like the rest of us . " He said .
"It's a small pearl given to all students and throughout the day it will alter into the element you had an affinity to . " Jay answered smiling .
"Yeah Jay's one became a small heated pearl, and mine became a shining golden pearl . " Daisy explained .
"Yeah as we saw in the wand shop . . . . I had an affinity to fire and Daisy as an affinity to divine and holy magic . " He further explained .
"Ohhh I see . . . . " I replied .
"Other than that not much . . . . the past few days were a bit relaxed as was spent getting to know the professor and other students to make friends . " Jay explained .
"Ohhh okay . . . so what type of classes do we have? . . " I asked .
"Hmmmmm on Morndas we have Basic Spell Casting, Herbalism and Alchemy . Tirdas we have History, Culture Studies Creature studies . Middas Basic Spell Casting, Herbalism and Alchemy again . Turdas Physical Training and Class Outing and on Fredas the most exciting day! Sparring and dueling! Loredas and Sundas are days off" Jay Answered .
"A whole day . . . . spend on sparring and dueling that's a bit much? . . . " I asked .
"Ummm . . . It's the only day when students can face and challenge other students to raise their battle rank . It's good to learn how to fight . . . . " He replied .
"I guess you're right . . . " I pretended to agree, "By the way . . . . is Calista in our classes? . . . " I asked .
"Sadly she is, our year is only split up into two classes and sadly she is in our class . . . " Daisy gravely informed . "But it will be okay! she won't try anything if we've got your back!" Daisy said trying to cheer me up noticing me looking a little down .
" . . . . . . . . . . Ummmm what day was it today? . . . " I asked slightly confused, some reason I assumed they was going to use Monday - Sunday .
"Today is Tirdas . " Daisy replied .
"Yup so we have Basic Casting Herbalism and Alchemy . . . tomorrow" Jay replied with a smile .
"Ummm . . . could I meet you guys in the morning? . . . I don't really know my way . " I asked still slightly confused .
"Yeah sure!!! . . We'll meet you outside the dorm building? . . . "Daisy suggested .
"Yeah that will be awesome!" I replied with a smile .
A loud bell sound began to ring in my head, "Did u guys hear that?" I asked looking for the source of the sound .
"Ohhh that means Dinner is being severed in the Great Hall . " Daisy said standing up .
Getting up we made our way to the great hall . "By the way do they serve vegetarian food? . . . " I asked .
"Hmmm not sure . . . Maybe? . . . . " Jay replied leading the way .
"Can't we just magically create food and water? . . " I asked .
"Umm you can . . . . but they aren't nutritious . . . . . They don't sustain life . " Jay answered .
"Oh . . . . " I pretended to understand .
"Yah . . . it may help you feel full or quench your thirst momentarily but you can't survive off magically created food or drink . " Daisy tried to explain noticing my hesitant reply .
"Ohh I see now . . . " I replied sounding more confident .
The small walk to the great hall made me think about magical broomsticks as a faster mans of travel, "OMG do we get to ride on magical flying broomsticks?!!" I asked extremely excited .
They both looked at me in complete confusion . . . . . . . " . . . . . . What plane do u come from? . . . . you guys ride on flying broomsticks? . . . " Daisy and jay asked .
"Yeah . . . . of course . . . you guys don't? . . . . " I said trying to play it off like flying broomsticks is normal .
"Ohh . . okay . . . . Well that does sounds kinda cool . . . . . But no we don't have flying broomsticks, most forms of travel is on horseback . . . or carriages . . . there's zeppelins for travel between major cities, and Ships for travel across sea and ports . " Jay explained .
"Ohhhh . . . " I replied feeling a little down I won't get to experience flying .
Walking towards the Main castle building, the population of the school quickly became obvious, hundreds of students slowly making their way for dinner . Most being human, very rarely noticing some students aren't human .
Entering into the Main castle, the huge double doors directly in front of the main entrance was now open, revealing a grand hall . Magnificently large, filled with tables and benches with innumerable number of delicious foods with plates and cutlery . Well-lit with large long hanging chandeliers and torches lining the wall of the room .
"Ohhh there's a group of seats over there!! . " Jay said grabbing both our hands pulling us quickly to them .
"Calm . . down . . . I'm sure there's room for everyone . " I yelled as he pulling us to the free seats .
"Yeah of course but the later it gets the harder it is to find three seats free next to each other . " Jay smiled taking a seat .
Taking the seat next to Jay and Daisy on the other side of him, I got a chance to look around . There were several robots walking up and down the aisles, holding plates of food and refilling drinks . It looked as if on the far other side of the hall was a separate table which I assume where the teachers were as I noticed several older looking men and women .
"Do you know if Scarlet or Paul . . . Eats here? . . . " I tried to ask Jay over the loud atmosphere .
"Yeah . . . they should be on the S rank and A Rank table . " He replied looking up and pointed at a large separate table near the teachers table .
Looking into the distance, I noticed him next to Scarlet and Ashley talking and laughing thoroughly enjoying themselves . "Are we not allowed to sit with them? . . " I asked Jay .
"There's no rule saying we can't but I think generally you have to be an A or S battle rank to be allowed to sit there . " Jay responded and began devouring his food .
I began looking at the dishes looking for something I recognize or looks vegetarian, when sudden a shadow loomed over me . Turning around slowly, it was a robot that took the opportunity of the opening that formed, placing a plate of food in front of me and pulled out two more plates of food from its chest and placed them behind the first plate .
"Ohhh looks like someone told the Kitchen you have a special dietary requirement . " A girl said beside me .
"I guess so . . . " I smiled, "Hi nice to meet you I'm Emilia . " I introduced myself .
"Nice to meet you Emilia!, I'm Grace and this is my friend Helen . " Grace introduced herself and her friend beside her, giving a wave .
"Ohhh . . . Nice to meet you, this is my friend Jay and Daisy . " I replied leaning back to reveal Jay greedily scoffing down food and Daisy beside him .
Giving jay a small jab on the arm to catch his attention and poking Daisy in the back, "Guys this is Grace and Helen . " I introduced them .
"Nice to meet you!" they both smiled waving at them .
"Are you a freshman?" Grace asked .
"Yes I am . Are you?" I asked in return .
"Yes me and Grace are both freshmen as well . " they smiled .
"Have you two thought of what you guys wanna be? . . " I asked curiously .
"Ohhhh . . . I want to be a ranger . " Grace replied .
"I'm looking to become a druid . " Helen answered .
Jay suddenly stopped eating hearing their response . . . . . Turning to them with a mouthful of food, "Ohh wow a druid?!" He replied .
"Yes" she responded with a smile .
"What's a druid? . . . " I whispered into his ear .
"Are you? . . . . an Elf? . . . . " He asked .
Helen smiled brushing back her golden blonde hair revealing her pointy ears with a smile .
"Ohhh wow . . . it's pretty rare to see an elf outside their own community . . . . " He added .
"Yeah . . . . . I wanted to see the world . . . . and Atlantis is quite accepting of other races . " She said .
"Ohhh that's so cool . . . . . " Jay replied .
"Druids are spell casters like us except their spells lean towards nature and animal . " Jay whispered into my ear .
"That's so cool!!!!" I said looking at her .
"Do you happen to be an Elf as well grace?" Im asked .
"Yes I am, me and Helen are from the same tribe, we are childhood friends . " She answered .
"Ohhh that's cool" he replied .
Taking a quick peek at Daisy making sure she wasn't left out, it looked as if she was engaged in conversation with a young man sitting beside her . There was a young man sitting in front of me quietly eating his food, the two people beside him engaged in separate conversation . Noticing me looking at his slighting he looked up . "Nice to meet you I'm Emilia a first year . " I smiled .
"Hi . . . Ummm . . . . . I'm . . . . Patrick . . . " He quietly and nervously replied .
"Are you a first year also? . . . " I asked .
"Yes . . . " He replied quickly and went back to eating his food .
Not wanting to disturb him I went back to talking to Jay Grace and Helen . They were talking about Life in Elvish society .
"To be honest I wanted to stay in Morena, but Helen wanted to go exploring, so sadly here I am making sure she's safe . " She said .
"Yes!!!! But we are gonna have a blast!!! and we've already made more friends than we did back home!!!" Helen said hugging her gleefully smiling .
"I hate you" Grace said to Helen begrudgingly .
"No you don't" Helen replied smiling swinging her side to side .
The dinner lasted hours, all the way till sunset, spending lots of time getting to know Grace and Helen as well as learning a bit more about Jay .
