What In This World! Oh... Wait A Minute. It's Another World.

After we left the classroom, we started wandering around. The layout of this school seemed remarkably familiar.

"This school, it seems like its layout is similar to Hudson's Bay High School from back where we come from... at-least the layout we are used to." (Carmen)

"You are right it is almost just like that, but based on what I've seen, there is a building with roughly 15 stories where the courtyard would have been." (Dawson)

"Yeah... well if our class is in this outer building, especially since they use the same numbering system as the other used, we should be able to find it no problem." (Carmen)

"Hey, let's head to the gymnasium, I would like to see how they use that space, especially if they still have the upstairs and downstairs." (Dawson)

"Okay, that sounds good." (Carmen)

Carmen now leads the way.

"You seem like you know exactly where you are going, Carmen." (Ariko)

"That's because I do, as long as this is exactly like what our old school is anyway... if I'm wrong though, then I will know that it is different." (Carmen)

We continue on to where the gymnasium would be... Since we were at the northern tip of the school, we had to go through the cafeteria along the way. When we arrived at the cafeteria, we saw spells flying around. I saw another student who seemed to know what was going on but was not involved.

"Excuse me, would you by any chance know what's going on?" (Dawson)

"Oh, some students were saying that the prince of this kingdom is in their home-room, but no one would believe them. I mean, would you?" (Man)

"I would be as likely to believe that as to believe that I was destined for great things." (Dawson)

"Hah, I know right?" (Man)

The ones who were with me laughed for different reasons than this man.

"Would you mind pointing out the ones who made such claims? I want to know who to watch out for." (Dawson)

"Yeah, it's those three." (Man)

The ones he points out are Manson, Darling, and Franklyn.

"Ariko, are you willing and able to cover me from any spells while I go and talk to our classmates?" (Dawson)

"Yes," she turns towards Harrold, "I leave Carmen in your care." (Ariko)

"Understood, and though it needn't be said, I leave Dawson in yours." (Harrold)

After that, I start walking towards the three in question. Along the way some spells that should have hit me seemingly vanish, which brings eyes my direction. When I reach halfway, I call out to them.

"Hay, Manson, Darling, Franklyn, I hear that you three are claiming that 'the prince' of 'No-Shew-Add' is in your class?" (Dawson)

After that comment, one last spell flew.

"That's right, but none of them would believe us!" (Manson)

"Well, what do you expect, it's like telling some random person on the street that they are destined for greatness, who would believe it unless you can prove it." (Dawson)

I see the others start to look confused for a moment, then great big smiles spread across their faces.

"You are right Dawson, without proof, who would believe such an outlandish statement." (Darling)

"Even if the prince were standing right in front of them, they probably still wouldn't be the wiser." (Franklyn)

All five of us start laughing.

In between laughing, "I bet they... all think... we are nuts." (Manson)

"That's probably true, but even if they think I'm nuts, I doubt they would readily say that with my father present," I say with a big smile on my face. (Dawson)

Someone who hasn't played a part in the conversation since I arrived walked up to us.

"Who are you to be making such bold statements?" (Man)

"Oh, that's right, I haven't properly been introduced. I am Prince Dawson Sen, son of one King Dawson Ernest Boulders, and this is my fiancé's Personal Guard, Ariko." (Dawson)

"Yeah right, and I'm guessing you are in their class." (Man)

"Actually, yes I am, and if you don't believe me, use a spell to prove it, that is if you have the power." (Dawson)

"Alright, I will use my void magic, truth sight. I ask you a question, then activate my magic, then we all see as if we were when and where you were when you received the answer to the question." (Man)

"Be my guest, but could you first introduce yourself to me? I don't feel right letting someone who I don't even know the name of cast a spell on me." (Dawson)

"I am Baron Von Vanderveld, son of Baron Von Druningham, now for the spell," taking about a three-second pause before uttering the next line, "I bring out the truth, Dawson, are you the prince of this country? Truth be seen, true sight!" (Vanderveld)

After that, I at least, and I'm guessing everyone else also, sees and hears the events that happened to me in chapter two, from arrival in the new world to when father took me out to explore the town.

"Now, the question is, do you believe your king? If you do then you know I am the prince, while if not then I could be anyone." (Dawson)

"My apologies, Prince Dawson, for not believing you before. I did not have a chance to attend your unveiling." (Vanderveld)

"It's fine, I would not have believed myself if I were you. I feel the ones who should apologize are the ones who through spells, and the ones they should apologize to are the ones those spells were aimed at... and I do mean that both ways if applicable because this was all due to a misunderstanding, so please do as I ask... I am not asking this as the prince, but as your fellow student." (Dawson)

After I said that, Franklyn along with seven others bowed their heads in apology.

"Franklyn, did neither Darling nor Manson play any part in the spell throwing?" (Dawson)

"No, they did not Prince Dawson." (Vanderveld)

"Well, then I thank you all for apologizing to one another, can we please move on like none of this ever happened because I don't want myself to be a reason for people holding grudges." (Dawson)

I jumped, startled by the response I got.

"Yes." (Everyone other than Dawson's Party)

"Th-Thank you..... Umm, I am a little surprised at that response, ha-ha-ha." (Dawson)

Laughter slowly spread throughout the room until the entire room was enveloped in laughter. I motioned to Carmen for her and Harrold to come over to me.

Said just loud enough for Carmen to hear over the laughter, "Let's be on our way, where we were originally intending to go." (Dawson)

She simply nodded then led the way.

After about another two or so minutes of walking in silence, we arrived at the gym.

"Well, let's see how they did it, I see all these doors are still here. Let's go in." (Carmen)

We enter through the top entrance of the gym, we then see that it is obvious that the changing rooms are located differently. How, you might ask? Well, normally the top portion of the gym has a floor that can't be seen through and has the changing rooms located below. These floors look like glass, or better yet, it's like someone took glass and somehow made it even more transparent, so It almost looks as though we are walking on air. Under this solid air floor, there is another floor that is different, it has four tiles covering the entirety of the floor. Going from the one below us in a counterclockwise order, the colors of those tiles are blue, green, yellow, and red. Those tiles even cover the space where the changing rooms would be. Ariko strolls around the room in a manner that would cause her to walk over each tile in the order I listed them then returns to our group.

"I felt that there are barriers around this room that correspond with the tiles on the floor, this tile having no barrier. I suspect that this floor is floor beginners, while the floor below us are for those advanced users." (Ariko)

"I think you might be right, Well, let's look around to see if we can find changing rooms near here or not, so we know ahead of time where they are if ever we need to use this space." (Dawson)

We then decide to head back out and downstairs (since the stairs that connect within the gym don't exist either) to see where the changing room is.
