Chapter 321 - Aleksis' First Day in School

"So you are telling us this, so that we would know from the start that later there would be two suspicious people trailing Miss?" Carl asked, concluding.

"No wonder last night Miss asked us to leave," Sascha held back his laughter by pretending to cough.

"Well ... that's true ... You understand quickly." Aleksis was very happy because even though Carl and Sascha were cold and scary, they were always very warm to her and they always tried to fulfill her wishes.

They have been with her ever since she was 12 years old until now when she was almost 20. She continued her conversation, "The two guards provided by Prince Siegfried will not know about you, but you will know about them, so you can prepare and act accordingly. Please don't attract any attention."

"All right, miss. We understand. You know what kind of bodyguards will be sent for you?" Carl asked.

"I have their photos." Aleksis hurriedly showed Carl and Sascha Takeshi and Mischa's photo. They both immediately frowned after looking at the pictures.

"Are they really bodyguards? They look like ordinary students. One looks so flamboyan,  people might think he is a pimp ..." commented Carl. "Did he give you the wrong photo?"

Aleksis shook her head firmly. She pointed to Takeshi's photo, "This is Takeshi, he's a Phoenix level assassin from Rhionen Assassin."

Carl and Sascha simultaneously held their breath. They had heard rumors about the most mysterious assassin group in the world. The rumors had never been proven, so they had thought it was just an urban legend.

"According to the legend, a phoenix level assassin has the killing power equivalent to one of our special forces in the military," Sascha murmured softly. He exchanged glances with Carl. Both of them were former captains of the special forces in Russia so they knew the capabilities of their special troops.

"Uhmm ... yes, that's Takeshi. The other one, his name is Mischa ... he's a Dragon level in Rhionen Assassins ..." Aleksis continued.

She was satisfied to see the faces of her two bodyguards turn to shock.

A Phoenix-level assassin was already very dangerous ... but apparently their young miss was also given a bodyguard from the Dragon Level?? Who was this Prince Siegfried really? Both Aleksis' guards thought in confusion.

"Hmm ... fortunately, Miss told us first, so we can get ready. If we hadn't known, it is very likely that we would cross paths with them and the consequences would definitely not be pleasant," Sascha commented. "At this rate, we already know that we should avoid them."

"Thank you for understanding so quickly," said Aleksis. "Right now I can't reveal my true identity to Prince Siegfried yet ... Maybe later, when everything is settled, I can tell him about my family, and everything about me ..."

"We understand, Miss."

"Fine. Then I'll go to class now. You don't need to worry about me. Later, I'll let you know when I've met Takeshi and Mischa ... For the time being, you guys can just relax ..."

"Alright, Miss. Take care in school!"

Aleksis then entered the campus and looked for her classroom. She had her schedule in her hand so she knew that her first lecture was in the hall. It was one of the general mandatory subjects. 

As of today Aleksis still wore her shabby clothes and a pair of nerdy glasses, so she still looked very nerdy. She still didn't want to attract too much attention on her first day.

Aleksis saw that the public lecture was held in a very large hall attended by students from several departments. She entered the auditorium and looked for a seat at the very back. She had no intention to really study, and her plans were to as much as possible avoid any form of attention.

Turning left and right, she realized that she was sitting in an unpopular part of the room. Ugh ... wasn't her objective of going to school to make friends? How would she be able to gain any friends if she sat alone in the back. She immediately stood up and directed her attention to the front. Everyone seemed to have their circle of friends already.

As a transfer student, she didn't know anyone on this campus (except Terry who was a few years her senior, and now Rosemary who was from a different department), while the other students all knew each other and some of them had formed their own groups.

"Hey ... Aleksis! Come here !!"

Suddenly she saw someone sitting at the front row waving at and asking her to come.

Gosh ... that was Rosemary. Speaking of the devil, thought Aleksis.

Relieved, she walked toward Rosemary to sit next to her.

Since she was in a hurry, she did not notice a girl sticking out her foot in front of Aleksis with a mischievous smile on her face. Aleksis tripped and fell very hard on the floor. She almost hit her head on the table if she had not rushed to hold the fall with her elbows.

"Hey ... why did you do that?!" Aleksis asked angrily. She hurriedly got up and cleaned her clothes, then immediately turned to stare at the girl who tackled her while clasping her hips.

"I didn't do anything. You were walking without using your eyes!" said the short-haired girl with a freckled face.

Aleksis was very angry to hear that. She immediately grabbed the girl's collar with a threatening attitude, "Do you think I'm afraid of you?!"

Rosemary hurriedly walked over to them and separated the two. "Eh ... don't fight, our assistant lecturer will be here soon. What are you guys doing? Cindy, she is my roommate, don't bully her ..."

The girl called Cindy was surrounded by her friends who all wore expensive clothes and makeup that was a little too daring for college kids. They all crossed their arms in demeaning look..

"Rosemary, I'm just giving a lesson to this new kid. Last Friday she dared to take Terry out to lunch at the cafeteria. I will never forget her stupid glasses!" said Cindy angrily. "We are all Terry's fans here, you know how it feels ..."

Rosemary looked surprised, so she turned to Aleksis. "Really? Why didn't you say you know Terry?"

Gosh ... Aleksis felt like she wanted to throw a fit and pinch these fans of her brother.

"Yeah, I did have lunch with him, so what?!" Finally she also crossed her arms on her chest and stood defiantly facing them all.

Rosemary tried to hide her embarrassment. She remembered that last night she told Aleksis so much about her feelings for Terry, and Aleksis did not even mention that she knew Terry. This made her feel a little betrayed.

She would ask Ms. Lee to move to a different room. She did not want to share a room again with Aleksis.

But right now, she was sorry to see Aleksis being cornered. She then stood next to the girl.
