Princess Of The Land Of Light

New Students

Flora felt like a dream, even though she knew she wasn't asleep. everything happened in an instant. This is very strange. Was it because Flora had been thinking about Rose all week? So he was hallucinating so high? 

Flora shook her head. Trying to forget what just happened which he thought was very miraculous. Then immediately return to the campus park again. She sit in the original place and read the book that had been cut off. But oddly enough the black paper was still in his book, and that meant what he had just seen was … real.

"Flora?"

Not far from her place, a woman walked over with a cheerful expression. It was Morin, in the same class with her at medical school. Even though Morin knew that Flora was an introverted girl who wasn't too fun to talk to, but for Morin, Flora was a good listener even though she was curt at answering.

"Who did you go to college with?" asked Morin as she sat down next to Flora.

"Simon."

Morin smiled. She knew that Simon was the driver who used to drop Flora and ... Rose while she was still around. Morin knew that Flora was still grieving the loss of her sister. Then she told Flora there would be a transfer student from Cambridge who was in the same faculty and class as them.

"He's my cousin, Flo. His name is Xander," said Morin later.

"Oh."

Flora didn't give more expression when Morin said there would be a brother named Xander. For Flora, she considered everyone the same. Neutral.

Class a few seconds to start, Flora and other friends have entered and sat in their seats. Everyone seemed enthusiastic about waiting for the arrival of Professor Gilbert, a lecturer who will provide a lot of knowledge through theory and practice.

Twenty-nine students who had been boisterous in the class suddenly fell silent when Professor Gilbert came with a man dressed in all black. One thing that is on the minds of all students, especially girls—the man is very handsome and cool.

Professor Gilbert introduced the man to all the students. As Flora had just heard from Morin, he was Xander the transfer from Harvard University, Cambridge."Please take a seat on the empty bench!" Professor Gilbert said to Xander.

After nodding respectfully, Xander stepped in with his eyes looking for a seat that wasn't occupied yet. And now, the man was sitting beside Flora, in the very back seat. Flora who already knew the name of the man beside her didn't make small talk just an acquaintance, so did Xander who was also indifferent. But him energy caught something else about this woman. Energy that not everyone can have.

Suddenly, the veins inside Xander's wrist hardened and stiffened, turning blue in color. The knuckles are clearly visible showing the bones. Xander squeezed his knees together to contain the intense energy he was now feeling. He had never felt this before, even though Xander had absolutely no history of any disease, and his nerves were fine. Then he turned to the woman beside him who was leisurely writing the theory that Professor Gilbert had presented.

Is it because of this female energy?

Xander's better off moving. Then he shifted to another empty seat, exactly two seats from the seat of the woman whose name was unknown. And now, the veins that had hardened before, returned to normal calm.

'This is weird.' Xander thought.

"Why did you move?" asked a woman beside him in a whisper.

Xander shook his head. "I will."

"I'm Grazelle, nice to be in the same class with you," said the short-haired woman, holding out her hand.

Xander also welcomed her outstretched hand with a smile which he immediately pulled back.

"She's Flora. The smartest student in our faculty. The only downside is that she's not very social. People say that Flora has a world of her own. What's more, she's become more and more introverted after her sister's death." Grazella explained as her eyes glanced at Flora.

"Oh." Xander chimed in.

Half an hour class went smoothly. Everyone listened enthusiastically, not a few of them wrote the important parts. And in the next thirty minutes, all the students in the class will have a practice under the direct supervision of Professor Gilbert.

All students in the class were divided into three groups. Ten people each, and Xander got into Flora's group.

All the students walked into the laboratory room. Flora walked in the silence that had always been her character. While Xander kept his distance from Flora, he was afraid something like this would happen again.

The laboratory room has welcomed the first group who are all ready in green practice clothes. Likewise, a corpse with a strong smell was welcoming them to become training materials. It is not clear how the corpse looked, because it was still covered with a white cloth.

Then Professor Gilbert removed the cloth covering the corpse. Suddenly everyone covered their noses, and some were waving their hands because of the smell. In contrast to the ordinary-looking Flora.

One by one they felt nauseous, then threw up. There were even five female students who were unconscious, who were immediately taken care of by the group waiting for their turn to leave the laboratory. There were five other people in the room. Namely Flora, Morin, Grazella, Xander, and Alex as the leader.

Professor Gilbert asked the five to surround the corpse closely. As a result, Xander was now standing just a few centimeters from Flora. Making the man with thick eyebrows feel the same way as before in class. Though from the energy he felt, Flora did not have any evil energy.

Xander gritted his teeth. He hid his hands in his pockets and wrung his shirt. He held back many times but couldn't, the veins in his wrists were still hardened. Then he remembered something, his brain turned to the past. The grandfather's advice used to say that if Xander meet people who have high energy, as long as it's not evil energy, then don't worry.

Suddenly Flora was shocked when Xander suddenly held her hand, very strong. This man seemed to be holding something back, his expression was not far off like he was in a tall building and he was trying not to fall.

"Are you alright?"
