New Student Orientation

It was always a hassle, being the new person somewhere. That much did not seem to change even when Leila crossed the borders of worlds. She remembered very clearly just how much pain it was when she was introduced to the guilds of mages for the very first time in her homeworld, and this place appeared to be something of a similar nature. But rather for a job, it was for learning. At least that was how much she managed to gather in her short time here.

She was lead here pretty much as soon as she left her dimensional gate and given an amulet that allowed her to understand what everyone was saying, which at the very least made things easier to bare. She was an adventurous type, so she obviously wanted to explore this place. She just had to be a bit cautious in case anyone hostile would show up. Though it did not seem like that would be happening so far. Instead, she was just kinda seated in this room and told to wait.

And so she did. For some time now, at least half an hour? She was never too good at telling time without a clock. But the door finally opened up, drawing her eyes to the figure that appeared behind them. Red hair... suddenly Leila realized she had never met anyone with a hair colored like that! With her interest immediately piqued, she basically jumped out of her seat and straightened herself out in front of this new girl.

"Yes, a pleasure to meet you! Though I have no idea what being a council president means, is it like being a guild master?" Asking in a completely innocent voice, Leila retained equally as innocent smile during that whole sentence, carefully observing the one who was about to show her around. People here appeared to be quite interesting so far.

"Awesome!" Was the first thing Leila exclaimed the moment her comparison was accepted like that. It made things much easier to understand, at least in a way. She even pumped her fists in the air slightly when doing so. "Ah... pardon me, I forgot my manners!" Shen then quickly piped down and took a couple of steps back to promptly leave the other girl's personal space.

If she really was like a guild master, then she deserved a lot of respect and Leila planned on adhering to that, even in a different world. Three hundred people actually didn't sound like that many either, she's been to organizations that had well over that, often even going into thousands of members. But the less, the easier it would be for her to interact with everyone, so she was fine with it!

That said, she was quick to tilt her head to the side in a confused manner as few new words leaped out of Liliana's mouth. "Dorm parent..? Homeroom teacher..? Sorry, I don't have any parents and my teacher stayed behind in our world!" She had absolutely no idea what it all meant, but she was prepared to learn and follow this girl anywhere she had to!

Leila simply laughed awkwardly as she scratched the back of her head before saying "Sorry!" and putting up a mental note to try and act naturally around this girl, even if she represented authority. Something like that was probably for the best, even if it would take a bit of time to get used to. Regardless, there was one small thing the girl became confused about when Liliana described the dorm and dorm parent.

"While living here... I have my own home, so that might not be a problem at all!" But then again, it might have also been a rule that every student had to live in the dorms. Leila simply did not know yet, so she had to wait for a proper answer. She was a bit of a special case, considering the fact that instead of having a house, she actually had an entire pocket dimension of sorts available to her as a home.

The whole bit about homeroom teacher did not quite help either, as the girl did not know her own schedule just yet either. Just the fact that it would be special due to having to learn things about this world that most people already knew. However, the library sounded like a great idea for a curious girl like Leila. "Yes, please!" With an excited tone, she agreed for that to be their first visit as she hopped forward along with a surprisingly elegant pirouette, getting ahead of Liliana and then turning around to look at her with a smile and a wink, ready to follow.

Living in the school dorms might have actually been a pretty good choice, Leila was just so new here that she wasn't quite aware of that possibility or what perks it would give her. "Not even quite off-campus, but off-world. I can open a dimensional gate to a different world where I live alone." The girl then tried to clarify, since she felt that it might have been a pretty important piece of information to let out.

As they passed by other people, the silver-haired maiden could only really look at them curiously and even look over her shoulder a bit as they passed them. She didn't really know anyone here, which made her wonder if she'd even be able to properly fit in. But with time, just about anything was possible! Or so the girl liked to believe.

"Nocturnal... ah, like some of the flowers that desire light reflected by a moon rather than the one coming directly from the Sun. I can walk around whenever though!" She exclaimed happily as she continued looking around. Though she then quickly hopped right next to Liliana and leaned closer to her. "What classes are you talking, um... actually, how do I call you? Miss Council President?"

Upon hearing those words, Leila did stop in her tracks for a moment. "I suppose that would be a bit of a problem. Haha, sorry, I'm used to living together with everyone who would ever really want to talk to me." She scratched the back of her head again as she recalled all the people who would fall into that category. The way she lived up until now didn't exactly involve a lot of permanent or even long-lasting contacts, after all.

"I wonder if I'll be able to live alone..." She then also said mostly to herself, but loud enough for Liliana to probably hear it. "Sounds rough..." She also commented on the fact that this girl was apparently taking all the classes. Though it was hard to imagine how busy that would make the council president. At the very least, the girl was pretty happy that she could call the other girl by her name rather than a title. It was more personal and better sounding.

And finally, they were in the library. The moment they entered, the silver-haired maiden's eyes would sparkle with interest as she ran off ahead a little bit, looking all around the place. "So many books, I've never seen a library this big!" She exclaimed before she realized that she should probably be silent and covered her mouth nervously. She was even expecting some grumpy librarian lady to yell at her in a moment. "Do you come here often, Liliana?"
