They were introduced to the three buildings that towered over them, Rikka and Alex only arrived when they introduced the last two buildings so where left a little unraveled to what the first building was suppose to be. The generally gist of it was a warehouse or training hall of some sorts but it was probably of none use to Rikka for her first year. They were told to keep quiet and moved on to the next area. Rikka turned back to Alex as they were slowly walking with the group of people.
’Thank you for getting me back to the group, I didn’t see them leave back then. Finding them back wouldn’t have been so quick, I would probably have missed most of the tour if it wasn’t all of the tour.’
Rikka was giving him signs at a slow pace and made sure he could follow her signs. Meanwhile they had entered the social building, it was a big hall with multiple levels along the side of the walls. The main area was a big open space which looked quite pretty due to the authentic look it gave. Rikka looked around the hall just to see what was all here mostly. Most of the rooms on the side appeared to be classrooms where they would be a lot this year so it was good to know your ways around here. Once amidst the hall the explanation continued. Like she had thought, most lectures. They liked to play pranks here? Rikka did not understand after having missed the exploding balloon in the air above them.
’Seems quite big doesn’t it.’
The tour continued through the common area, mostly nature like the entrance of the school. It was pretty though, a lot of tropical plants and flowers she hadn’t seen before. Rikka would like to explore here a little in her free time. They came up on one of the next buildings they were gonna explore. It was the art building the professor mentioned before. The halls were big for anyone here, she wondered why they would have build hallways this big for mostly only students. A big shadow covered over Rikka making her turn her head to the shadow to see what it was. Her face stiffened as her body froze. Her face went pale white as her mouth slowly dropped open. With terrified eyes she followed the monster entering the hall before her. It looked peaceful enough with the cookies but Rikka was still scared to the bone from it.
She could not follow any of the following conversation coming from the weird creature and not either from the professors eating cookies. The tour continued with the creature walking in front of them and speaking to them. Rikka only stared at the creature in both discomfort and confusion. The mouth moved but she couldn’t make anything out of it. Soon they would part and all of them got a free goodie bag of cookies. Rikka took the bag of cookies from the monster with the same look of confusion and discomfort while one of her brows twitched. She took a deep long look at the bag of cookies to see if it had any poison or the likes in it and gave Alex a look of being weirded out as well before interacting with him again.
’Don’t eat them, I think you’ll die.’
They went through another part of the school with even more garden and buildings. How big was this school? She had seen and heard of it but never expected it to be as enormous as this. Across the garden they went further with their tour into the next building. It was the place where they were practicing magic and doing experiments with magic. Rikka gave a short gulp after getting all these warnings and accident ratios heard from the professor. Once hurted they didn’t get helped immediately? They would just have to suffer till they went out of the building again? That was a little harsh. The rooms and the whole building seemed secure for magic use to every extent, she wondered how her own magic could run rampant like destroyed stuff she had seen throughout the building, like scorched ceilings the likes. The professor introduced them to his class room and office. They would be here for a large portion of the year, so it was handy to know where they would need to be going at least. Laboratories could be reserved for when they wanted to experiment with anything they liked. The only had to state what they would do in there and it had to get approved for if they wanted to reserve a laboratory.
The athletics compound look chique as well, filled to the brim with equipment of all sorts. You could train here anything you like but you did have to get staff to help you at times with equipment. Rikka would likely lift any weights or anything so she didn’t think she would be calling staff an awful lot. They were told there was a swimming pool aswell which was heated, sounded nice, Rikka would go there at some point and sit in the water or play if she made any friends.
There was a lot of stuff for monsters to do as well, they even got their own changing rooms and special equipment to clean themselves. This school was super high tech and Rikka liked it a ton for it generosity with disabled and other types of demi humans and monster.
Continuing, they went through a tunnel under a building and ended up in yet another garden area, they were told this was mainly the dormitory area of the school grounds. Each building had its own purpose to house any monster. Rikka would probably go into building Q1 or Q2 if she wasn’t seen as especially huge or small. The tour was concluded with a task to find a roommate of your own. Wait what? They were suppose to get their own roommates? Rikka hadn’t thought about that yet. Did they all make friends yet except her? Well she had one friend now at least, Alex. It certainly was handy to have someone who knew sign language in her room but they weren’t allowed to house with the opposite gender.
Rikka was in a predicament, she didn’t know any of the girls here. If they didn’t find a roommate were they supposed to room alone? Rikka didn’t want to be alone for four years. A girl passed closed by in front of her getting her out of her deep thoughts. Rikka her eyes trailed after the girl for a moment. There didn’t seem anything particularly weird with the girl she just wandered off on her own from the group. The moment she wanted to turn back her head to the group to find a roommate she saw something snap off the bag of the girl. Some sort of cute strap was snapped off by a branch at the side of her bag. Rikka started at the scene for a moment before getting her head straight. She slowly walked over to the strap to pick it up, it seemed pretty worn. Rikka looked back up to look at the girl. Wait, she wasn’t there anymore. Rikka was filled with panic for a moment. She was gonna give it back but that wouldn’t be possible if she didn’t find her now. Rikka rushed forwards a bit before realising she had left someone at the group back there. Seeing her or not seeing her she made a quick farewell sign before rushing after the girl.
A good while later after having rushed through most of the general part of the campus the girl was suppose to be at she had finally found her. Or at least she thought. It was back at the cafeteria where she was standing all alone in line for some food, presumably already having gotten her food at hand already. Hadn’t she eaten yet? Rikka still felt fulfilled by the lunch from just now. Rikka slowly walked over to the girl while she was still panting slightly from all the running she had done. Rikka gently tapped on one of the shoulder of the girl to get her attention and flashed her a sweet happy smile with sweat still standing on her forehead before holding both her hands closed together up towards the girl. She parted her hands and displayed the little strap back to the girl who had presumably lost it. Rikka her smile changed into a somewhat more fulfilled smile of having finally found the owner.
She slightly closed the hand holding the strap and reached with the other hand into her bag as she looked to guide it towards the right notebook. She raised a notebook out of her bag and placed it up on her other underarm opening it shortly after. She wrote a few words and held it up with her empty hand to the girl her face.
’Your strap snapped off your bag in the courtyard. I got it back to you luckily.’
