Cross Dressing In A Fantasy World Full Of Magic

A few days had passed since our date, the class had started, and Ms. Mary had started to explain how monsters came to be.

There were many reasons for this. The simplest way for a monster to come into being was with a dungeon. Once a dungeon is formed, mana would be gathered into the dungeon. Once gathered together, when too much mana is gathered, the excess mana would be turned into a monster.

The other options are when monsters would breed with one another and create another monster. It was pretty self-explanatory.

Once class was over, Ms. Mary called me to follow her. "Olivia, you should go home first. I don't know how long I would be away for."

"Olivia will be following you. She will be needed for this announcement." And why didn't she say that first? I wanted to retort, but I couldn't

"Follow me to the headmaster's office." Ms. Mary started to walk out of the class, and Olivia and I followed her.

It didn't take long for us to go to the headmaster's room. Maybe this was one of her offices that she often uses.

Ms. Mary knocked on the door, "Teacher Mary Celeste here." Our teacher informed the headmaster of our arrival.

"Come in," The door opened without anyone pushing or pulling it. Magic sure was convenient in life. I wish I could do that with the door.

"Mary, thank you for bringing these two. You can leave if you want." Ms. Mary bowed and left the room. The headmaster sounded like a good friend to Ms. Mary.

"Umm... Did we do something wrong?" Olivia was nervous. She didn't know the reason why we were called. I assumed it wouldn't be bad, considering I did nothing wrong to my recollection.

p "No, the both of you did nothing wrong." She closed her eyes, thinking about something. The headmaster was less intimidating than I thought. When she first used mana to attract the attention of us students, I had chills running through my body then.

"May we know why we're here?" I didn't want to ruin her thinking, but the silence was starting to get to me. So I asked what we were doing here.

"Charlie, I heard you earned first place in the trial. Congratulations." She ignored my question and started to congratulate me.

The results were me getting first place with Serena getting second. Apparently, she was close by 1000 credits off. Any other group was far off. Third place had a 70000 point difference between Serena.

Despite losing two group members, Olivia's group did pretty well. Her group was rank 8th. The prizes were handed out, and the things I got were genuinely great. My credit has doubled, and the price of everything related to credits decreased by 50%.

"I had a meeting a week ago with people from other countries. You had seen the increase in monsters, right?" Both Olivia and I nodded at her question, but what was the point of this topic?

"The monster king of this generation has been born. Dawn Creed Forest and other places had been infested by monsters." Olivia was scared shitless from the headmaster's mouth. Anyone with enough knowledge would know what the monster king was. To think one would appear this soon.

While thinking, the headmaster continued, "During our meeting, to tighten our alliance, we would send two students from each year to each academy." We had just returned from our trip, and I knew where this was going.

"You and Olivia will be selected as exchange students for the country of Avadris." The country of Avadris? The largest nation within the continent? The country for beastmen? How troublesome.

"Starting tomorrow, a staff member will send you to Avadris with a teleportation circle. The two of you and six other students will be sent to Avadris capital city and received as a guest." So there wasn't anyone from this country to supervise us?

"You'll be there for three months before returning to an international school battle." Even if Charlie was locked up in his house, he had some information about it.

Every nation would send in its best students to check out the strength of the said individual and compare them to their peers. This would motivate students to compete for first place and help them with their pride.

Looks like my plead for a peaceful life will be postponed to a later date. So the eight of us would be hostages to the other country. If a fight starts to break out, I hope I wouldn't be in any of these messes.

After having to example all of these, the headmaster suddenly disappeared. Did she use an artifact to explain everything? If so, that would explain why she ignored me and had almost no presence as the headmaster.

Leaving the room, both Olivia and I had to think. "Olivia, don't think you think school is seriously hardcore?" Many people died in the third month of this place, and now we're getting sent as hostages. What a brutal world we're in.

"Charlie, do you think the food in Avadris will be better?" At least Olivia was thinking on the bright side. Her magic could be improved as long as she finds more food to eat.

Doing my best to keep her mood up, "There should be, the country is bigger, and there are more people in that place." There should be some better food, probably.

"Then should we go shopping? We would need to prepare some things that we need for our next home." We were gonna live in a different house for three months. It would never hurt to prepare for something we prefer from this place.

Olivia agreed to my arrangements. In doing so, we went to a store that sold furniture for homes. Olivia and I had arrived at the store, and many homely items could be seen.

Walking around many items that we found were bought, and having to do that we went back home and rested well for the day after.
