1 A new start

*Chapter start"

In the middle of a small valley isolated from any form of civilization, a huge complex of buildings can be seen illuminated by the first rays of sunlight bringing it to a new day of activities.

And just as the sun rises it brings its light to a small gap between the curtains of a certain dormitory's room, shining on the face of a woman that can be said to be the very definition of sleeping beauty.

Feeling the light of the sun over her face she slowly wakes up, opening her eyes briefly before shutting them close due to the intense light, but that matters not as for in that brief moment her eye's beauty was in full display.

Letting a yawn escape her mouth the woman sits up on her bed removing the bed sheets covering her body, she once again opens her eyes and stretches her body while humming with satisfaction.

Getting up from her bed and taking a blue ribbon from the drawer next to her she walks to a closed door. Opening it to reveal a small bathroom, a strange sight even for prestigious schools such as the one they had been inhabiting for the best part of the last decade, a fact that the woman is glad to remember every single day.

Walking into the bathroom she gets in front of a relatively large mirror on the wall and takes a look at the reflection on it, bringing the blue ribbon to her hair. The woman in the mirror is of near unrivaled beauty, her blonde locks no different from gold in color and it reaches all the way to her waistline, combined with her deep emerald green eyes creating an image of a beautiful woman even if one were to ignore her face and body. Her body is well proportioned and slightly toned, despite its rather curvy figure, reaching a height of a hundred and seventy-two centimeters coupled with a porcelain-like neckline. Her angular face is adorned with long feminine eyelashes, thin eyebrows, a small chin, and high cheekbones slightly below her eyes.

"It's in times like this that I miss a magical armor that magically ties your hair." The woman, known as Artoria Pendragon takes her blue ribbon and ties her hair in a simple ponytail.

Finished tying her hair she turns on the water and splashes it on her face doing some simple cleanup before exiting the bathroom.

"I know you are awake Elise. It's time to get up."

"Hrrrrg… you know, every time I wake up I remember why I hate being your roommate." Not far away from the bed in which Artoria woke up another bed stands by its side. Elise sits up on the bed and speaks annoyed at her roommate.

"Good morning to you too Elise." Artoria says with a small smile.

"Good morning my ass." Elise replies angrily."Why do you even get up so early? Most of the faculty only opens at five-thirty. I'm pretty sure that keeping up with your daily routine is making my sleep time deteriorate." She says while untwining her hair from her large antlers.

"You wouldn't be having a hard time if you get that bad habit of sleeping after midnight. Even if I didn't wake up this early you would still have to be up in at least twenty minutes." Artoria says replying to her grumpy friend.

"Even then four-thirty in the morning is too much. Nothing happens in this school this early." Elise says getting up from the bed.

' That's Elise Orleans for you, my three years roommate, is pretty much the only childhood friend that I still speak to this day and my best and closest friend in this life, since our families knew each other even before the quirk happening event almost two hundred years ago, we were almost obligated to know each other. She is the single daughter of the prestigious Orleans family who are the true founders of this academy, although they were originally quirkless, Elise was born with a quirk that grows antlers on the top of her head making it extremely inconvenient to sleep which also makes her very moody in the mornings.'

"You know the saying that the early bird catches the worm." Artoria replies with a small smile while organizing my jogging clothes.

"Eh? As if. Which worm do you pretend to catch this early?" She says finally untwining her hair and walking to the bathroom

"I dunno, but at least in your case it helps in getting rid of those choco calories you got last night." Artoria replies with a grin while wearing her jogging clothes.

"You little… you who eat three people's worth of meals have no right to even comment on my weight." Elise says while throwing her pillow at her roommate ." I'm taking a bath."

Effortlessly dodging the pillow she replies."I'll be waiting for you at the tracking field then."

"Baam"

Slamming the bathroom door she angrily shouts."Who says I'm going?"

Artoria finishes organizing her things and takes her bag dedicated to jogging and walks to the dormitory door while saying."Don't be late."

Reaching the door handle, and opening the door, Artoria pauses for a second looking at the empty corridor in front of her, and mutters to herself.

"And another day starts."
