Vain 45 Unreachable

It was pure white and aesthetically beautiful, a castle untouched by man. And it spread across the s.p.a.ce of the whole entrance, gardens on both side of its path, leading towards the door of the building. From what she could recall, the students called the building White Castle and it was the way to enter the plaza. Where all the building for the separate cla.s.ses were, it was the most elaborate of the bunch and the main gathering area of most students.

The White Castle was the Food Court, Auditorium, Lounging Area, and Student Information Center (SIC) all combine into one. Since it was so large, all its part was divided into a direction.

The Auditorium was in the North.

The Food Court was to the East.

The Lounging Area was to the West.

The Student Infomation Center was in the South.

And it was the first thing you would walk into when you enter the White Castle. The SIC was meant to help all students with any request they might have and was run by the Student Council, the seniors would give the newcomers schedules and directions. And they would a.s.sign students the necessary things they needed. Then the students would have free range to do whatever they wanted in the time before the academy started.

Aileene knew the scenery of the academy well, from her knowledge beforehand, but seeing it herself was still fascinating. She wondered how the plants could stay so green in such a cold environment. The air was even much warmer in the academy, as compared to the barren land outside. And for it to be so deep and secluded within the mountains, she couldn't help but be surprised at how everything was so vibrant and colorful. The running fountains were not even frozen when it snowed. How strange was that?

As Aileene felt the hydrangeas by the door of the White Castle with a gentle smile on her face, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure. A yellow dress that seems to glow with each of the girl's movement and a head of golden amber hair.

Xi Faber

She hadn't seen this friend if hers in a year or so, and Xi seemed to have grown much livelier. She was always such a proud girl, but the system could no longer control any of them. So Aileene could only hope the best in Xi's happiness, at least for this short lifetime. The world could be changed.

Aileene sighed and turned away, a calm expression returned to her features, but her eyes were almost unreachable with how deep they were. The more she stayed within this world, the more she felt disconnected. The memories, the experiences, and the happiness she had achieved only a short bit ago felt so far away. It was as if a gla.s.s wall had been placed between her and everyone else in this world.

Her previous beliefs and hopes in the fact that she could trust the fragile reality she stayed in were shattered. And Aileene slowly grew more unfeeling towards the whole world. She has a goal she must complete, and so she will.

But any satisfaction it could bring her was no longer able to touch her.
