Aqua took the first step into the building with excitement welling up in her heart. Her father had given her instructions to find any of the princes of Ghana and maintain an exclusive civil information contact with them. He reassured her that he had talked about this with the emperor of Ghana. She remembered her father saying that the old man of Ghana said he didn't know what information was significant enough to report.
But before all that she wanted to meet Coral, it had been a year since they last met in person.
She walked in and found the building literally empty. She became nervous and thought she had mistaken the reopening day. Her fears were calmed when she saw a boy with black hair and blue eyes staring intently at a in campus shop.
"Excuse me, do u know where class 1B is?"
Aqua asked as gently as possible as the whole area was very quiet but still ended up scaring the boy beyond measure. After he calmed down, he apologized for his lack of etiquette still distracted by the shop. He hastily told Aqua the way and strode towards the shop nervously. Aqua chuckled as she walked away
"what a strange personality"
she remarked as she entered the room. Her heart come out when she saw a black figure in the corner mumbling something. Cautiously she went a bit near and realized it was a girl covered in a black sweater who was sleep talking about her crush. Embarrassed at the situation, she fled the scene leaving her stuff at a desk. As she walked the corridor, she wondered if she was allowed to do this in the first place but put aside the thought, thinking that she won't go far. Luckily she met a sleep deprived Coral midway. She hugged her cousin and told her that people here were very weird and shared her experiences as they walked. At an intersection they met that boy again, this time his hands were full with cream puff packs. He became embarrassed and was about to flee when Coral addressed him as prince, shocking Aqua to the core. The prince sheepishly smiled and fled for his honor. Coral burst out laughing saying that he was the second prince whom Aqua was calling a weird guy. Aqua bewildered by the chaos returned to the class where some students had gathered. The academy followed another rule, that students remain confidential and use aliases. If they want to announce their identity, they are free to do so.
Aqua went with the first option as a low profile comes with more freedom and less unnecessary costs. She introduced herself as "ice". A lovely girl with blonde hair and gold eyes introduced herself as the daughter of baron Dante, Emilia Dante. The Dante family is known for its trade and commerce.
Aqua was internally curious about her . Then a handsome lad with silver hair introduced himself as Acrys, clearly an alias. The girl who resembled the sleeping figure from before, lazily asked to call her Bella before dozing off again. Aqua couldn't figure out if it was an incomplete name or an alias but made a mental note to ask later. Other students rushed in and didn't have time to introduce themselves.
The class began and ended both swiftly. It was a blast!
Aqua thought to herself. She headed to the washrooms but got lost, so she just stood in the middle of the corridor staring aimlessly.
"I will be late!?"
She said as she became frantic and suddenly there appeared a door, it was the washroom. Aqua then realized that this was a magical academy. She then thought of how she would survive here if the academy changes every hour.
She walked out dejected as she looked around for any reasonable thing which could help her. Fortunately she saw a student and called out to them. The lad glanced at her and started running, which surprised her and she chased after him.
"I need directions sir!"
She yelled out as she turned the corner. It turned out to be the prince again, he stopped and Aqua saw how exhausted he had become, she just waited for him to catch his breath and he asked her how she was alright after all the running, she smiled and said that she was a regular runner so it was okay. He led her through the corridors and took her to the class, she thanked him and entered the room to find twice the number of students. Bewildered, she asked Emilia what was going on, she explained that they were having a combined class of 1B and 1A as 1A's teacher was recently fired.
The prince went to his class but found it empty, he frantically searched when he found a note from a fellow classmate, "Rex" -1B it said
He entered the bustling classroom and found Rex fondly talking to a girl from 1B. He simply stood for a moment looking for an empty seat when he found one beside the blue hair girl. Embarrassed but with no choice he sat beside her and told her not to disclose anything about wht happened today to which she agreed surprisingly immediately. There was silence, no one spoke and both were comfortable with the silence. The science teacher came and immediately announced a test, shocking the students to the core. He said it was a pair activity, a quiz and said the present arrangement is suitable for it. Both the prince and Aqua took up their pen and paper, to ace the test. When the teacher took everyone's names to write the marks Aqua got to know that the boy used the alias Dew. To their happiness they won second place at least, first belonged to Emilia and Ludgar ace.
The prince and Aqua exchanged encouraging words and left. Emilia walked to Aqua and whispered that her companion just now was the second prince of Ghana. Aqua rose as she said she already knew and asked her if this was the recess, on getting a yes, she ran towards the door only to bump into someone, as she was about to fall, she was caught in time by the person. She glanced up to see dew with a frozen rose in his mouth as he looked at Aqua. She pulled away and apologized. Dew ignored it and announced in the class If there was any person with the alias "ice princess". Aqua took the prince by his hand and led him out to the corridor and asked with a pout
"Could you not have been a bit subtle"
Looking at her pout, the prince handed her the iced rose and said with a smirk
"Welcome to Ghana ice princess"
He explained her that the library has a book called the lost letters in the third shelf, second row then he left. As an agent, Aqua understood the situation and thought to go there after school.
Surely enough, the book in question had a note with an address and a separate contact. The contact was oddly familiar, she then realized it was the same as twighlight's. Amused at the thought of meeting her sparring partner again,She wondered if he knew that she was a princess.
