For the past few weeks, I studied everything with the voice in my head.
...anyways. When I woke up, Father said that he cancelled my engagement with Evander... Thankfully.
Shush Cordelia.
Going back. Nothing much happened. I simply talked with the voice in my head and reviewed everything about the life I was thrown into... I also studied magic and history. But for some reason I couldn't perform magic.
I'll have you know in the novel Cordelia failed the Magic subjects so she transferred to the Knightly ones... That's how Ophelia evaded Cordelia's tortures during the academy... Mostly.
Whatever. Anyways, me and Cordelia decided that we needed some money for a just in case, so we can escape and start anew... We don't know what to do yet so that pn is on hold for now.
Ugh. I know. But I'm no engineer alright?! Also I don't remember anything I can use from the novel that doesn't involve Ophelia, Zariah, Viktor, or Cedric. Basically everything revolves around the main characters.
Oh shut up. The ride is awful as it is. Have I mentioned that we are currently on the way to the Academy? I'm not excited since this will mark the begining of the novel...
Then don't listen! Going back. I currently share a ride with Ophelia. It's just me and her alongside a few knights. They are only here to make sure we arrive safely. Also, servants are forbidden in the academy so we'll have to fend for ourselves... Luckily for me, I am a strong and independent woman in my past life!
I can still fend for myself without the need of maids. It's a shame honestly, I sort of got attached to Hannah and Janice...
We're going off topic here. Me and Ophelia have been on this journey for days now, didn't really bother counting since I mostly slept... I mean it is boring. Ophelia is currently reading a book due to boredom.
I've already read that. Awful book really. The male lead was simply maniputing the female lead yet somehow she liked that... Pretty sure a male wrote that book due to the numerous mention of her 'huge breasts.'
Talking about books, I've noticed that there really aren't that many literature pieces in this word. It's kind of boring really. In the short span of my time here I'm pretty sure I've read half of what this empire can provide regarding fiction.
There's also the ck of imagination! Like seriously... Some of the stories I've read are just copy and pasted from other stories... But with different names and all. Annoying really.
That's... Actually not a bad idea. Huh. I've got a vast amount of knowledge regarding stories from earth... And being an author wouldn't be so bad because most nobles like to read- they just ck things to read about... So it should be profitable... Enough so that we can probably use it as our emergency funds...
Practically...
...the stories don't exist here?
<...>
Ugh shut up. I know the double standard. At least the readers won't know!
<... whatever. Just don't use my name for stupidity.>

A few hours ter, we've arrived at the Academy. The Aethercrest Magical and Knightly Academy, known to be the most prestigious academic institution in the whole world. Probably an exaggeration. But it did produce countless master knights and mages.
We we're dropped off in the dorms. Despite being in a school with mostly noble students, we won't be getting seperate bedrooms but will be sharing it with 3 other students. There are exceptions but apparently I'm not a part of that.
However, the room is quite big and we do have our own bathroom... But what I'm surprised of is that I won't be sharing a room with Ophelia.
Closest friends being the girls who encourages Cordelia to bully Ophelia. Well great.
At least I'm the first one to arrive... Deys the inevitable interaction with those spoiled brats... Although honestly, now what? I'm kind of bored.
We'll, sure I guess. It's not like I can do much in this room anyways except talk to the voice in my head.

I am currently in the garden and let me tell you... This pce is gorgeous. In the middle was a rge marble fountain with marble pathways connection to some pces. There were also some marble benches and a variety of flowers. Don't know their names though, but they are gorgeous.
Although there seems to be a lot of marble... Well, the school is rich so I guess that's that.
The emblems of the four ducal houses are also engraved on the fountain, while the emblem of the royal family is engraved on the top of it.
Huh. Weird but cool. Whatever though.
After gawking at the fountain, I decided to walk along the marble paths, letting my feet guide me since I didn't really know where to go...
Suddenly, I saw a fireball going in my direction. And heard a voice yelling 'watch out.' I couldn't dodge in time though... However someone managed to block it with a water shield from the fountain...
"Are you okay?" Asked a familiar voice. It was that dirty blonde person from the garden...
Well... Fuck.
Suddenly a red headed boy ran into our direction.
"Are you okay?? Sorry about that. My magic malfunctioned... Luckily Vachya was around to save you, hehe." He said while catching his breath.
Ew...
"I'm alright... Thankfully Lady Zariah managed to catch it quite on time." I say softly. The woman grinned.
"Oh? So you finally recognize me, Lady Cordelia?" She said in a joking manner. Artel simply stared at us.
"I suppose... I'm still pissed you think I was lying back then. Can't care less whether you're a 'hero' or not," I say with a little attitude. That got me an earful from the voice in my head.
You are a bootlicker and a bully. I'd rather not listen to your advice... Plus I don't like it when people assume things about me that aren't true.
"How about this... You forgive me for that little incident as a thank you for me saving you, hmm?" She asked, tilting her head a little.
Huh... That's kind of cute... Her face pisses me off though. How dare she give me that sly smile.
"Fine. Whatever."
"Gd were on the same page then. Oh right, Wayne. Apologize to Lady Cordelia right now." She says, turning her head to the red headed boy staring at us.
"What?? But I already did that..." He compined. "I'm sorry Lady Cordelia. Didn't mean to shoot that fireball at you, promise!"
"Luckily Wayne isn't that good with magic. That fireball is very weak."
<... that was literally the strongest fireball I've ever seen.>
Agreed. But not like I have anything to compare it too.
"Oh shut it you stupid prodigy." He gred at Zariah. "How about this. I'll do one thing you want as an apology?"
"It's really fine... Not like I got hit or anything!" I insisted. I didn't really want to drag this out longer.
"Come on, please?" He begged... Well not really. But now he's weird in my books.
Huh. A good idea. Would prevent me from getting lost.
"Alright fine. How about this... Why don't you give me a tour of the school?" I asked, he smiled.
"Alright then! Let's go!"
"I'll tag along to make sure he doesn't shoot another fireball in your face."
"Oh shut it. You're just bored Vachya."
Now that I think about it... This scene sort of feels familiar... Oh shit.
I just remembered this was how the first chapter turned out... Ophelia was walking around and almost got hit by Artel's fireball and Zariah saved her... Which lead to them giving Ophelia a tour...
<...why are you only remembering that now?!>
I forgot...?
I'm not an idiot! However, why am I in Ophelia's pce?? She's supposed to be in my position right now.
