241 School Starts Again (1/2)

Time passed swiftly and soon it was already July. Mid-July was the start of classes for most schools including Nolen School C. The students came flocking into the school after the holiday ended. Many of them looked tired as they were used to sleeping late during holidays.

”Sis, you don't have to pick me up,” Laura looked towards her sister with a frown. She was still staying in the inn while Kanae stayed at her house. No matter what, Kanae didn't allow Laura to go there, so this little girl obediently stayed here.

”I'm not going to let you walk to school by yourself. Let's go,” Kanae answered. She yawned as she barely had any sleep last night. Her training with Master Rudy always lasted from 9 PM to 1 AM. Those four hours of the day was the time she experienced hell. As a result, she barely had any sleep last night.

Fortunately, she was used to sleeping less or she wouldn't have been able to wake up in time. She still had to pick up her sister before going to school, so she forced herself to wake up even earlier.

Laura's lips twitched. ”Who's going to walk? I'll use public transportation.”

She was not that much of a cheapskate like her sister who preferred to walk rather than wasting money on transportation. Of course, she was able to do so because she received a lot from her sister. She would surely use the cheapest form of transportation, though, as she couldn't afford the expensive one.

Kanae shook her head. ”Since you're now with me, we're going to walk to school starting today.”

Hearing that, Laura's face darkened. Her sister was clearly being unreasonable today. She didn't want to walk to school.

”The school is too far away.”

”It's good to have some exercise in the morning.”

”We're going to be late.”

”We can wake up earlier tomorrow.”

”I'm tired.”

”I'll piggyback you if you're tired.”

Laura: ”…” that would be too embarrassing.

In the end, Laura was unable to argue back. She had to follow after her sister and walk to school unwillingly. She should have known that her sister was truly a cheapskate that didn't want to spend any money to make the trip easier.

Internally, she vowed that she would make sure that they earned enough to change her sister's lifestyle. It would be enough to make sure they didn't have to save money like this.

In truth, it was not Kanae was truly a cheapskate, but she knew better than anyone how dangerous public transportation was. For someone with Laura's appearance, it would be better for her to use private transportation. She didn't want to risk having someone attack her sister.

The two of them arrived at school when it was nearly time for class to start. Laura followed after Kanae to the second year's classroom.

”The first-year is in the other building.”

”I'm skipping grades since I already learned most of the lessons overseas. Our country is a bit lacking behind in knowledge, so they agreed after I talked with them a bit,” Laura flashed a smile.

The talk that Laura mentioned was surely not an ordinary one. Kanae didn't even need to guess that it must have been her sister trying to argue the whole time. With this little girl's experience in handling a lot of different people, there was no way the principal could match up against her. One way or another, he was probably forced to compromise with this girl's demand.

Kanae shook her head and walked into the classroom. Her eyes lit up when she saw that Misae, Alice, and Tommy were in the same class as her. It seemed, this year they wouldn't be separated from each other.

”You're almost late today, Kanae,” Misae waved her hand.

”I had to pick up my sister first,” Kanae pointed behind her. ”Oh yeah, let me introduce you to my friends, Laura.”

Laura smiled brightly. ”Hello, I'm Laura Nali.”

”I'm Misae, this is Alice and that dunce over there is Tommy.”

”Hey! Don't teach her those kinds of words,” Tommy was stunned by the way Misae introduced him to this girl.

Alice barely spoke at all as she stared at Laura. Appearance wise, there was no way one would be able to connect her together with Kanae. Laura looked very fashionable and beautiful with her long and straight hair. Compared to Kanae who wore glasses, she looked like a little princess.
