Chapter 8: Start of Student life

Me and the young miss follow Sir Richard Miril, he leads us to an extremely large carriage and I see other nobles getting into the carriage too.

"This carriage will take you to the dormitory, please have a seat and feel free to converse with your soon-to-be peers. Slaves are not allowed into the carriage so he will have to walk beside the carriage. It is not far, so do not worry."

"Thank you, sir," the Young Miss says, and she enters the carriage, and I start walking and pulling the cart with me.

I see the young miss conversing with the other nobles. They are laughing, and seem to be having fun. As I walk beside the carriage, I can feel the stares from the other nobles, and their maids.

"You are Kira Darkfang aren't you, the oldest daughter of the Darkfang house," says a tall High Elf girl, she is a bit taller than the young miss. She is thin, and her hair is silver and long, her eyes are golden. She looks like an elf, and her skin is very white. She is very beautiful and has an air of superiority.

"Yes, and you are." The Young Miss is smiling.

"My name is Tia Vargos, Daughter of Duke Vargos," she says and she sticks her hand out.

The Young Miss reaches out and shakes her hand. "Pleasure to meet you"

"A human slave, and a male one, is accompanying you," Tia asks Kira.

"Oh, Yeah. This is my slave, Renzor. Father bought him, and he a personal bodyguard for me."

"Why is a human your slave, they as filthy creatures?" Tia asks

"I don't know. Father said he was a skilled warrior, and a good fighter, so father bought him." 

The carriage stops and I help the young miss get off the carriage and we follow Sir Richard. We are led to a 6-story building. An old dwarven woman is standing outside the dorms. "Hello ladies," she begins with a warm smile, drawing the attention of the group. "My name is Della, the Head Matron, and I'll be overseeing the dormitory during your stay." With a graceful gesture, she invites everyone to follow as she leads them inside.

As they step into the female dormitories, Della provides a brief tour, her voice clear and welcoming. "Here, on the first floor, you'll find the spacious living area. It includes a lounge for relaxation and a study room for your academic needs." She continues, leading them up the staircase. "Your rooms are located on the 2nd and 6th floors, offering comfortable and private spaces for each of you."

Della hands out the room keys. "Settle into your rooms and we will meet in the dining hall in the building opposite us in 5 hours for a welcome dinner."

Della walks up to the young miss, "Miss Darkfang, this is your key. You will be on the 6th floor." Della hands her the key. "I will allow your slave to stay in the dorms, but if he causes any trouble, I will have him kicked out." Della looks at me.

"No, Renzor will not cause any trouble, and if he does, then I will personally punish him." The young miss reassures her.

"Good, I hope he will behave." Della nods.

Kira walks up the stairs, and she opens her door and we enter the room. I quickly check the room for any dangers, and after making sure the room is safe.

I grab the luggage and we take the magic lift to the 6th floor and go into the room. The room is extremely large, and there is a balcony. There is 1 king-sized bed, 1 large sofa, 1 small sofa, a desk with a chair, and a vanity desk. Everything looked high quality. 

"Young miss, should I unpack your luggage? Or should I wait"

"Yes, you should unpack. I will let you know where to keep the things. So let's get started" she says and she claps her hands together.

"Yes, young miss." I smile and start unpacking the luggage.

As I start unpacking, there is a knock on the door, and the young miss goes and answers the door.

"Hello"

"I am the maid in charge of this floor, my name is Alana. Just want to meet the new students, and get myself known. How are you today, and how is everything."

"I'm fine, and everything is good. Oh, I am Kira Darkfang, and this is Renzor, my slave"

"Nice to meet you, young miss, and you too Renzor" Alana is an elf, and she has long red hair, and she is tall and thin.

"Pleasure to meet you" I nod at Alana.

Alana blushes, averting her gaze away from me "Please, If you need anything, please do not hesitate to ask."

"Sure, Thank you, and have a good day." Says Kira

"Same, have a good day, Young Miss." She leaves the room.

I continue unpacking the things and the young miss is sitting on the bed reading a book. After I finished unpacking, there were 2 luggage bags left, and I opened one of the luggage bags. It is full of the young miss's garments and underwear.

"Young miss, where do you want me to put these"

"What's in that luggage"

"Your undergarments and underwear"

She blushes, and says, "Just put them in the wardrobe, and make sure you fold it neatly. Don't just dump it, and close the wardrobe when you're done"

"Yes, young miss"

I start putting the clothing in the wardrobe, and I close the wardrobe after finishing. I move to the other luggage bag, and I open the bag. It is full of books and long mage staff.

"Where do you want me to put these."

"There is a desk over there, just place it in the corner of the room next to the door, and the books go on the shelves"

"Yes, young miss" I place her staff in the corner and place her books on the bookshelf. After I complete all the work 3 hours have passed.

For the next 2 hours, the young miss is reading a book and I am sitting on the couch. 

"Renzor, I am hungry, It is almost dinner time, isn't it?" she questions.

"Yes, young miss. Dinner will be starting soon. Let's head out."

We exit the room and head for the dining hall. The other students are already there, and we have 10 minutes before the food is served. The dining hall has long tables and a small platform with a podium. The students start taking seats, and the young miss chooses a seat next to the window, I go stand in a corner where there are other maids so I don't disturb her, but also keep an eye on her.

A Human man walks in and stands in front of the podium. He does not have a slave collar on. 

"Good evening everyone, it is a pleasure to meet the new students. My name is Headmaster John, John Walkins and I would like to congratulate you on making it into the Academy. I see some new faces, and I also see some familiar faces. Welcome to the Royal Academy, I will be your headmaster, and I will guide you and help you become powerful and wise. I would like to give you a warm welcome to the Academy."

Everyone is clapping, and cheering.

"Let me introduce you to the teachers, and professors that will be teaching and guiding you. First, let me introduce our head of sword arts. This is Sir Rigel, Sir Rigel has been with the Academy for 30 years, and he will be the sword arts professor and head of the department."

Everyone claps and Sir Rigel who extremely strong demon steps forward.

"Next is the head of the magic arts, Professor Lola, she is a high-tier mage, and has a lot of experience. She will be teaching and guiding you all on the path to becoming a mage."

Everyone claps and Professor Lola is a High elf steps forward.

"Now the head of the archery department, and Professor. This is Mrs. Silvia, and she will be the Archery Professor and the head of the Archery Department."

Everyone claps and the elf lady steps forward.

"The second last professor, I will introduce the Headmaster of the Scholar and Healing department, this is Mrs. Liza, she is a half-demon and half-elf, and she will be the scholar head and Professor."

Everyone claps and Mrs. Liza walks to the stage.

"Now lastly, the Headmaster of the Close combat and defense department, this is Sir Ragnar, and he will be the Professor and the Headmaster of the department. He is a beastkin from the Shadow Beast Clan one of the most powerful and ancient beastkin clans in history."

Everyone claps and Sir Ragnar a Lion beastkin stands on the stage.

As he looked around he noticed my gaze, and I quickly averted my eyes and I felt him continue staring at me.

"These are the Professors, and Heads, of the departments, and if you want to learn and join the department, talk to the Heads. Now, for the rules, first, No fighting amongst the students, if there is a problem go see a professor, and second, no fighting outside the designated area, lastly, no bullying, we will not tolerate such behavior. I would like to thank all the Professors and staff, and now that you know everyone. Let us eat. Food will be served"

All the chefs bring out the food and serve the students, the young miss's plate is served, and the other nobles are served. The young miss is making friends with the other noble. I notice that the wolf beastkin is still looking at me.

The meal was finished, and the young miss was done talking to her new friends.

"Renzor, I will be going to the common room with the others."

"Young miss, I will go with you."

"Fine, let go then" She walks away

"Yes, young miss"

I follow the young miss who is with her newly made friends. As we enter the common room, students are conversing with each other. I see the Ragnar is there, and he is talking with the new students, but making slight glances at me.

I stand at a wall in the room, and I see the young miss talking to Tia, and a few other girls. I notice another elf maid coming towards me, and she is standing beside me.

"Is it okay for me to stand here?"

"Yes, go ahead."

"A human slave, and a bodyguard, I thought the young miss would have an elven maid"

"I don't know as well" say coldly

"I see" she says

"Renzor" The young miss calls for me.

"Yes, Young Miss," I say and I walk to her.

I stand in front of her, and I can see the other nobles looking at me.

"So, this is Renzor" Tia looks me up and down, "He is not bad looking. I am impressed, he is handsome. Will you lend him to me for the night Kira" Tia laughs

Kira and her other friends start laughing, and giggling.

"Tia, You are too naughty, but I'm afraid, I can't."

"What a shame" Tia laughs, walks up to me, and grabs my crotch, "I would have tasted this piece of meat" She smirks and goes back and sits down.

"Sorry, Renzor. We were just joking, you can go have dinner in the kitchen they are serving the maids and slaves now."

"Yes, young miss"

I head back to the wall and the maid is still there. "Have you had dinner?" I ask the maid.

"No, not yet."

"Want to come with me, and have dinner together? It is better than eating alone"

"Yes" the maid smirks and follows me

We get to the kitchen, and the chef looks at me with a frown, and a disgusted face.

"What do you want" a dwarf chef asks

"My master, Lady Kira Darkfang has given me permission to eat dinner with the rest of the servants."

"Oh, the Young Miss," the dwarf says, and he gives me a large portion of food and the same for the elf maid.

"Thank you" the elf and I say at the same time, and the chefs look at me.

"What a coincidence" The elf chuckles

"Yeah, well let's go find a table," I say 

"Let's sit near the window." She says.

"Okay," I follow her. 

We find a spot at the window and we sit down and start eating. "So, I guess you are the hot topic, and everyone wants you."

"I don't care for trivial matters, I have one job and that is to protect the young miss"

"Oh, a cold person, interesting."

"You know my name, what is your name?"

"My name is Nell, I am the maid of Tia Vargos, the daughter of Duke Vargos."

"I see, well nice to meet you."

"So, I'm curious. What did you do to get the attention of Sir Ragnar."

"I don't know, we never met before."

"Well, he keeps staring at you, and giving glances."

"I don't care"

"Well, you are quite the mysterious slave and human."

"You are an elf maid, why do you have red hair"

"My mother was human, and my father was an elf."

"Oh"

We continue to eat our meals, and we are chatting and getting to know each other.

"Hey, Nell. I have a question."

"Sure, go ahead."

"Did the Shadow Fenrir house participate in the war?"

"Yes, they did, the daughter of the Shadow Fenrir house, Aya Shadow Fenrir, She was one of the strongest warriors during the war. She was extremely powerful, and no one could beat her."

"Wow" I smile with happiness and joy "Aya is well" I am relieved

"What," Nell says and she looks at me with a surprised face.

"Nothing"

"Oh, come on, You said it as if you know her"

"Well, I have heard about her." I finish eating get up, and wash the dishes.

"You are leaving already"

"I have a duty to do."

"Well, it's getting late. See you around"

"See you." I leave the dining room and go back to the common room. The students have gone back to their rooms, and the Lion beastkin is waiting for me. He is sitting on the sofa. He gets up and walks up to me, and he has a serious face.

"I would like to speak to you." he is serious.
