I woke up early for school the next morning.
My pn was to go for a run before csses. I need to keep up with my exercise.
I wasn’t going to be doing as much as I did while training with dad.
I put on my training clothes before even the sun rose and headed out on my run.
As I was walking out of the dorm building, I saw Mama Mia.
“Oh, well if it isn’t Nyx. What are you doing up this early” she asked me.
“Trying to keep up with my daily exercise” I tell her.
“Ha, its good to see some students with dedication.” She said. “And just like your sister”.
“Oh, did Lilith do this as well” I asked, interested in what Lilith had been doing at school.
“Yeah. Its rare to see students with the same dedication as her. But family sure are alike”
I blush. I had learned that I really did like being compared to Lilith. “Thank you”
“Well, I’ll probably have breakfast started for anyone who wants it in the dorm” she says.
I leave the dorm. I was just going for a short run today, probably just around 16 miles, a half marathon.

The way that exercise works is that it allows you to use more of your levels and stats. If you didn’t train your body and just leveled up, you would get slightly stronger, but not very much.
You needed to make sure that you were capable of using that power.
Outside of that, the innate stats you had made you instantly stronger than anyone on earth. I could, as a level 0, run for hours without stopping and much faster than anyone on earth.
This had something to do with magic energy.
∴
As I finished my run, I came back to the dorm to change out of my training clothes.
I then put the female uniform back on. The androgyne bracelet was still active as well.
I then left my room.
“Well, even with your run, you are still the first first year awake it seems, at least for us.” Mama mia told me as I grabbed some of her breakfast.
This was one of the benefits of being in S css. There were only about 100 people in this dorm building, so it wasn’t super crowded. I could see some of my upper cssmen leaving for school already.
It was still an hour before csses would start, but they probably have something to talk to teachers about.
I sat by myself and ate a small breakfast.
I could also see some of my own cssmates come down stairs. The first one was Emily, who waved at me.
While she was getting her own food, someone walked over to me.
I remembered her from st night.
“I don’t know what you're doing here, undercssmen, but you aren’t going to find Lilith here” She told me. It was Amy, the girl who was in Liliths dorm st night.
“I’m here because this is my dorm?” I say, confused by her question.
“Hmm, really. Someone like you is S css” she sneered.
“Uh, yeah” I say, getting annoyed and offended by this.
Before she can say anything else, Emily come over.
“Good morning Nyx” she say to me, basically ignoring Amy talking to me.
Amy quickly turns to look who walked up. “Who are…” and deftes before she finishes the sentence.
I could guess at what was going through her head when she saw Emily.
“Princess…” Amy said.
“Yes, can I help you?” Emily said.
“Oh, nothing, I was just having a conversation with this girl here. I will leave you to it” Amy says and walks away.
Emily then sat down, right next to me.
“She seemed weird, what were you talking about?” she asked me.
“My sister, I think?” I told her.
“Oh, she’s the student council President right?”
“Yes. She asked me to meet her yesterday, but when I went, that girl smmed the door in my face. It was pretty weird”
“Huh, I wonder what was going on?”
After that, we finished up our breakfast, we stuck together as we made our way to css.
∴
Csses went basically like this every day.
Csses start at 830
Morning - Language,Mathematics,History - 1.5 hours each
Lunch - At noon - One hour
Afternoon - Css specific course - two hours
Three elective courses - one hour each
Csses ends at 6, or earlier if you do not have any more electives.
Any club activity will probably take people until 8ish, possibly even ter.
This is to show how absolutely intense the csses are for the royal magic academy.
Strangely, there is no guarantee that you will take any magic courses.
∴
The first day of regur csses was half over and I was heading to lunch with Emily. I told her that we had to find Rose, and she agreed.
I had told Rose that we could eat lunch together, since we didn’t get to spend that much time together.
We found her waiting outside of A css.
Right when she saw us she walked over and joined us for lunch.
Strangely enough, Aric also joined us, when we got to the cafeteria.
We talked about what we had done the night before and Aric also joined the whole we should train together thing. Now, I had a four person training group, for whenever I did it outside of css.
The discussion was based around them trying to form a schedule, while I just focused on the food.
Eventually though, Lilith showed up.
When I see here I smile but she has an angry expression.
When she gets to our table she sms her hand.
“WHY DIDN’T YOU SHOW UP LAST NIGHT?!” she yelled, silencing part of the cafeteria. Very quickly though, the silence clears and everyone goes back to their own conversation.
“Um, I did?” I say back.
“No you didn’t. I stayed up really te waiting for you” she says, very angry.
“No, they did. They told me this morning” Emily said.
“Hey, princess, I would stay out of this” Aric said.
“I agree” Rose said to her as well.
But it was already to te.
“Princes Emily von Stardom. How do you know my Nyx” Lilith asked her.
“Your Nyx” Emily said back to her.
From there, they kind of just stared at each other for a while before I spoke up again.
“So I did show up st night, but your friend Amy shut the door in my face”
As I said this, a group of girls came running up to our lunch table.
“Ms President, please don’t run away, we have things” Amy started saying. She was leading the group coming towards Lilith. When she sees me, she stops. “Why are you around so much?” she said in an annoyed tone.
Once again, people appear to be making poor decisions.
“Amy, did you shut the door on them st night?” Lilith asked.
“Um, yes. It's not like they are anyone…”
“Amy, that's my sister” Lilith said.
Amy just looked dumb founded for a second. And then Aric spoke up.
“He’s a guy”
This gets both Lilith and Emily to stare daggers at him.
“What, he is” He says and points at me. But then he stops for a second. “At least I thought he was”
∴
Lunch was hectic from there. Lilith introduced the whole of the student council to me. Amy is her vice president, and there was a treasurer, two secraters and a head of the disciplinary committee. So 5 other people outside of Lilith.
Aric spent the rest of lunch just staring at me.
Lilith had to leave, but made it clear that I should come over to see her tonight, and made it clear that I was not to leave without talking to her anymore.
After we finished, we all had to make our way out to the training areas for combat csses.
