7 Doting Parents (2/2)
Nora, frankly embarrassed, couldn't help but slightly blush as she stood there awkwardly in front of her father in her academy uniform.

Nora's father, who had been keeping track of time, had become slightly worried that if they delayed much longer they would miss the opening ceremony. Knowing the half delusional state his wife was in, he began to drag his wife and daughter to the carriage that had been sent by the Academy to pick them up.
Although a carriage isn't quite necessary in a world with an abundance of people who have superhuman powers, it had become a rather old tradition and a display of power that the Academy was more than eager to flaunt.
Nora now being lead by her father, couldn't help but notice that her mother still hadn't broken out of her parental stupor.
As Nora and her parents approached the carriage, Nora couldn't help but notice the purple banners carrying a white and black emblem of what seemed to be a hybrid between a horse and an eagle,hanging on the sides of the carriage.

The carriage ride was far more comfortable than Nora had originally expected. Unlike her previous world, something was different with these carriages. They lacked the ruggedness that she had disliked in her previous life. Due to the Imperial Academy being situated several kilometers outside of the city, the journey was going to take some time. As the carriage began to move Nora's eyes were glued to the passing streets.
At first, Nora saw a series of similar estates to her own. Each of the estates proudly flying their own familial banners, causing Nora to realized she hadn't seen her own family's banner. The realization caused Nora to think of several questions she would like to answer for herself at a later date.
Soon enough the carriage entered what seemed like the centre of the city. A series of massive markets lined the streets, the streets were literally bustling with activity. Curious to the cultivation of what seemed to be the average populace, she activated 'Mana Sense'. Immediately Nora felt an abundance of Mana in the vicinity. Countless people were at the Mana Circulation Realm with the vast majority either stuck at the fifth stage bottleneck or the tenth stage bottleneck. Only the odd few had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm. The sensing of so many people caused a *Ding* within Nora's mind.

This day was already shaping up quite well, Nora had leveled up Mana Sense and for the first time really got to see the city. The way things were going, she was quite excited for the Academy.
