Chapter 2 Admitted

"And now we're here!" August happily pointed at the door right in front of them with her cat ears twitching, so she sighed in relief since they had arrived here early.

"Thank you! Let me just admit myself, do you want to come inside?" Athena invited, so she just nodded before they both decided to go inside.

After they went in, they were greeted by numerous creatures, mostly werewolves, and witches, trying to count all of the money that was flowing from the school.

Athena roamed her eyes around and smiled after finding the word registrar on the sign, she immediately approached her and took out her things.

"Hello, I'm here to register myself at Luxine Academy," She gave her requirements, but the she-wolf register gave her a judgmental look.

"Wight's never enrolled in this academy; do you even have enough money to pay for this?" She claimed while reviewing Athena's documents. She just sighed before giving her diploma as a scholar.

"I'm the scholar who wants to enroll here, please do make it quick because I don't want to be late to class," She just smiled, so everyone looked at her intently.

August just smirked, she never falters or gets affected every time she hears an insult about Wights. She really is the kind of person that she likes to be around.

The registrar just shook her head and decided to admit her. Athena happily accepted the schedule she gave her.

"Your schedule is there and the rules you need to follow are in the handbook, make sure not to quit so early this year," The she-wolf laughed together with her workmates.

Athena just smiled at them before nodding, "Don't worry, I don't have any plans to quit no matter what happens," After she said those words, she left the admission with a fighting spirit.

"That kid is going to get herself hurt," One of the werewolves said, so August glanced at them before smirking.

Werewolves and she-wolves look the same as Felines since they're half human and half wolf, they have dog ears and huge fluffy tails on their backs.

"Never underestimate a Wight that is a scholar!" August firmly said before slamming the door behind her back.

Athena greeted her when she turned around and bowed her head, "Sorry, I forgot that you were with me," She looked like she felt bad, so she waved her hands at her.

"No worries darling, I'm good, so what's your schedule? Let me check it," August stole the documents from her hands and squealed.

"We're classmates in every subject! I'm so happy about this!" She continued cheering, so Athena just smiled at her.

They both decided to get to know one another while they were on their way to their first class. After they arrived there, the seats were already packed with students.

"I almost forgot that they have mixed classes," August just sighed before pulling Athena closer to her.

"Seat with me, okay? No matter what happens," She pleaded, so she just chuckled before nodding at her.

"I will, August, you're the only one who wants me to be here. Look," Athena pointed at their classmates who were glaring at her.

She noticed that her class had many strong students, especially the man who was sleeping on the back. He was hiding his face so she couldn't make out what he looked like, but she claimed that he was super strong because of the aura that surrounded almost the whole room.

August hissed, "Meh, just pay them no mind, they don't have other things to do in life, that's why they're like that," She reassured her.

Athena just smiled at her. She can't believe that she gained a friend immediately on the first day. They both decided to look for a seat and sat at the back.

Athena glanced at her side and noticed that she was sitting right next to the man who had a huge and powerful aura.

She shook her head and looked in front, as the teacher had arrived at the front, "Greetings everyone and welcome to your first class, I'm Gabin Vincula, your history subject teacher," A lot of students groaned after hearing history.

"Well, since you're all so energetic today, why don't we start by introducing your names?!" He clapped his hands and pointed at the man in the front.

"You go first, then you, you, you, and so on until we finish!" Mr. Gabin announced, so Athena thought history wouldn't be so bad if he was their teacher.

"I always have hated this part," August collapsed on her armchair, making muffled sounds like she was pissed. Athena just giggled before listening to her classmates.

She memorized all of her names until it was finally August's turn as she decided to go in front, "I'm August Marie Almas, mess with her and you'll be asking for my claws," She pointed at Athena, making her flinch.

Numerous classmates glanced at her with gossip to be heard, but that didn't make her lower her head as she realized it was her turn to introduce herself.

"I'm Athena Lux Lumine, you can call me Athy, and I'm a Wight, so I'm looking forward to learning with you guys," She beamed before bowing to her head.

"Or are you that intelligent scholar?" Mr. Gabin asked so she raised her head before shyly nodding at him.

Her teacher just smiled before patting her back, "I'm looking forward to seeing things working for you,"

After that, she decided to go back to her chair. A lot of glares were to be felt while she was walking back to her seat, but like what August reminded her, she paid them no mind.

"Okay, last but not least, you there, sleeping guy, wake up! It's the first day of school, come on," Mr. Gabin almost yelled, so some of the creatures laughed.

Athena was almost in her chair when someone purposely tripped her. Her eyes widened when she realized that she was about to hit the floor as she held on to her glasses.

But before she could close her eyes, someone grabbed her wrists harshly and helped her up while glaring at her, "Get out of my way," He coldly said before casually pushing her to her seat.

That was the man who was sleeping beside her a while ago, so she was surprised when he stomped his feet on the woman that did that to her, "Next time you put your feet in my way, I'll slash them with my sword,"

After he said those words, the she-wolf looked like she was scared of him. He then walked in the front casually with his hands inside his pockets.

"Athena...Athy! Are you alright? I saw that!" August worriedly asked on the side, so she surprisingly nodded at her.

"Y-Yeah, I-I'm fine," She hugged herself before looking at the man that helped her a while ago. He looked extremely handsome but dangerous at the same time since he looked cold and ruthless.

"Azure Yuri Arison, my kind is none of your f.ucking business," After he coldly said those words, he casually went back to his seat.

August and Athena secretly glanced at him as he decided to sleep again after introducing himself, "He's nice and probably a jerk too," August whispered to her.

She couldn't help but stare at that man until the class ended. They had gym class and the man who was sitting right beside her wasn't moving at all.

"Should we wake him up? We have gym classes, and he might be late," Athena worriedly asked while biting her lower lip, so August just shrugged at her.

"Leave him, students should be responsible, he'll go there if he wants to," She rolled her eyes, so Athena pouted at her.

"Please? Can we wake him up for a moment?" She used her pretty eyes, so August just sighed before nodding at her.

"Fine, go ahead," She crossed her arms against her chest, so she cheered before trying to poke that man's shoulders.

"Um excuse me, Azure, right? The class ended like ten minutes ago, we need to go to the gym glass," She informed him, but that man didn't budge.

She exhaled out a lungful of air before deciding to poke his shoulders, "Hey um Azure? Yahoo?" Athena called.

After she poked him again, she gasped when he harshly grabbed her hands. His hold was too tight, and it was getting too painful for her to endure it.

"Who told you to wake me up? Scram away from me," He hissed before stomping his way out of the room.

"What the? That jerk, I'm going to give him a piece–" August was about to run after him, but Athena managed to stop her from going.

"I-It's alright, it wasn't that painful, promise!" She reassured her, so she just sighed before shaking her head.

"See? I told you, we shouldn't have woken him up," After August said those words, she dragged her out of the room so that they could change their clothes.

After they changed their clothes, both of them managed to arrive at gym class on time, "Okay class, good morning, I'm Rudolf, your gym class teacher for this year," He greeted the lined up students.

"We're going to warm up first and after that, let's do some jogging!" Their professor was a wolf, so Athena thought this was going to be extra hard.

"Not jogging," August whined before slumping on the corner of the covered gym, "I hate jogging, it makes my tail wobble so much," She mumbled.

Athena just smiled at her before tapping her shoulders, "I'm sure it wouldn't be bad if we were together, so let's go!" She beamed before deciding to warm up with August, who wasn't in the mood for anything.

After all the students finished doing their warm-ups, everyone heard the whistle of their professor as it became their cue to start running around the covered court.

"Move those legs, everyone!" Their teacher yelled in the front while running backward, so everyone thought he was athletically skilled.

"After this jogging, we will play volleyball!" Rudolf announced, so everyone whined except for Athena.

"Waa volleyball, this is the first time I'm going to play that game with someone, so I'm excited!" She cheered while fixing her glasses, so August just looked at her intently.

"Athy, how come you have so much energy when our first class just ended like 30 minutes ago?" She pouted while whining.

Athena glanced at her before shrugging, "Erm...maybe I'm just that excited about my first day? Since you know, this is the first time a Wight like me has entered an academy since we're almost homeschooled or something,"

August wondered for a moment before smiling. She should be the one trying to invite her to do a lot of things inside the academy. After all, for the first time in many years that have passed, a Wight has finally stepped foot into their academy.

"Alright, I'll be on your team later, okay?" August sternly said, so she just gasped before giving her a tight hug.

"Of course, you will never be out of there!" She beamed, but after the jogging finished, no one invited Athena to play because she was a Wight.

They were both just sitting on the bench around the court while watching their classmates have fun while playing, "Hey! Give us a turn to play!" August screamed, but no one minded her.

"You guys haven't played yet?" They both flinched after they heard their teacher, so they both just nodded.

"And this guy too," A random creature pointed at Azure, but he just had his legs crossed against each other with his arms on his chest.

"These selfish brats and you're the scholar, right?" Rudolf asked while checking his attendance list, "You're Athena,"

"Y-Yes and this is August, that's Azure," Athena pointed to them, but Azure just hissed while shaking his head.

"Alright, you three are going to play together, get out of there you brats before I punish you!" Their teacher raised his voice, so everyone just complained.

"What can a Wight like her do to help us? She would just be a nuisance," A she-wolf rolled her eyes. If she remembers it correctly, she's called Rose.

"I don't like to hear some nonsense," Rudolf announced before glancing at the three, "Go on, play well, okay?"

"T-Thank you, teacher," Athena gave him a huge smile before dragging August inside of the court, "You too, Azure, come here!" She called, so he just sighed since their teacher was looking at them.

"Fine," He coldly replied before deciding to enter the court and position himself wherever he liked to stay.

On the other side of the court, the athletes of their academy decide to play off with them since they're classmates.

"Alright, let's bring that Wight down and let her realize that she doesn't belong here," They all mischievously laughed after they cheered for their team.
