BlackCrown 2 BlackCrown: The First Year I Pt. 2

There were a total of twelve academies in the United States; each has their own ranking. Each academy has their specialties, but there were four that stood out from the rest.

Ares, Zeus, Hades, and Athena.

Today numerous people poured through the large metallic school gates.

All of them were wearing the same black and light blue uniform. Males wore a suit fitted just for them. Females wore a blue button up shirt with a black blazer and black skirt.

This was the only authorized uniform students could wear during the period they attended class.

The people coming in were the newly admitted students, freshman. With the start of a new school year, there were bound to be many talented individuals joining the school's ranks.

The older students couldn't wait to see who their juniors would be this year.

Standing around watching these new students come through the school gates were some of the older youths.

One could tell which year they were in based on the badge color located on the collar of their uniform. White means they were a freshman or a first-year. Purple meant they were a sophomore or a second-year. Orange meant junior or third-year. Finally blue, which means you are a senior or a fourth-year student.

These were not just for show, with each grade you go up you will naturally learn more. Thus it increased your battle power making it hard for one of a lower year to contend with you. Did this mean that anyone who was younger than you could not defeat you? Not at all, it only meant the challenge would be more difficult, but not impossible.

Most of the older students standing around were in their second year, the majority of them were males. However, there were a few females as well. Even a couple of third-year students could be made out of the crowd.

Why were they here? Each had their own reason; it could be to look for some good looking first-year student to feast their lustful eyes on. Or dream of their prince charming who would sweep through the various challenges causing numerous other females to look his way, but he would only have eyes for one.

Whatever they were thinking was not known to the others, and naturally, their fantasy more than likely would not come true.

When you were admitted to one of these schools, you had to live on campus. Each year had their own separate section which was divided by various buildings and streets.

Males and females both had their own separate dormitories that they stayed in. These two dormitories may be in the same general area, but they too were separated by buildings and streets.

The size of this campus would put ordinary college campuses to shame. It spanned over a dozen miles wide making it seem like a small town.

Because one had to stay on campus their entire four years, some shops catered towards the students. Although the students would be let out for vacation and be able to return home, that was only three or four times a year. Other than that every day they would spend here on campus.

Through the crowd of new students, someone stood out. When they walked, it was like a natural path was made for them. One could not help but give them a second look.

When she walked, she left behind a sweet fragrance that lingered in the air for a moment. When she tossed her long black hair back that glistened under the bright sunlight it was like she sparkled in the eyes of countless males.

Those azure blue eyes of hers seemed to shine. Just by looking at those eyes, one's heart would be held captive. Her small cherry red lips that reflected the light coming from the sun made countless males lick their lips with anticipation. Those two black stockings gripped her long slender legs tightly. Her creamy smooth skin was flawless which made many females envy her. There was no need to comment on her looks because even the males could tell that she wore no makeup but looked like a fairy.

"The queen has returned."

One of the older students commented. His eyes contained hearts in them as he watched the way she walked. He would have no regrets if he died at this moment. She was truly breathtaking.

When the others heard him, they could only agree.

"It seems in these two months that I haven't seen her, she became even more gorgeous. Pity the heavens have blessed me with these looks."

One plump male said.

"Damn right! I'm surprised your family even claims your ugly ass. How does your mirror even withstand your looks on a daily basis?"

Someone that heard him quickly responded, causing the plump male to become furious.

"Who said that?"

"Shh, the queen is coming this way."

Hearing those two guys one of the females near them could no longer take it. They needed to be quiet, but she did not mean to speak her mind. Those words slipped out of her mouth causing her cheeks turn a bit pinkish.

The orange colored badge on her collar sparkled under the sunlight as she walked. That golden badge had an appeal to it, making others who looked at it be charmed.

In the batch of these freshman students, she truly stood out. Walking by, she bumped into somebody.

"Ah, my bad."

He hurried and apologized to her; it was his fault as he was not looking where he was going.

It was just the first day, but when he was going through the gate people suddenly stopped moving forward. He had to push his way through them, and when he finally got through, he happened to bump into a person.

As he looked at her, he was stunned by her looks for a moment. It was only a moment before he returned to normal.

"It's fine; I should be more aware of my surroundings."

She told him. She thought his hazel eyes matched well with his curly brown hair. With the school uniform on, it complimented him in every way.

He held out his right hand as he scratched his cheek with his left.

"Nick Wilson."

She didn't refuse his handshake as she reached out and grabbed ahold of his hand. To others who were too shy to come up to her, they called her an ice queen. If they knew her, they would understand that she was anything but that.

"Iliana Rose, nice to meet you, Nick."

He seemed to notice the orange badge on her collar and realized that she was older than him. Previously he thought that she too was a freshman, but it seemed that was not the case.

He could sense the deathly stares of the people around him, but he didn't care. He did nothing wrong, if these people moved instead of standing still he wouldn't need to push his way through.

"I guess I'll see you around then."

He bid his farewell as he walked northwest.

Grabbing the white hilt of her sword that was dangling from her waist, she looked at his figure walking off into the distance.

To be more accurate, she was staring at the sword hanging from his waist. A smile crept up on her face; she finally found another one.

Iliana took another look at him before she continued on her path.
