Bernard and Accadia went inside the University, they went straight to the Admin office since it's his niece's first day in the University they need to pay a courtesy visit to the Academic Dean's office and also at the Registrar's office to finalize the admission and get her class assignment.
The Dean is Aldrich Legman of Lakewood University is actually a colleague of Bernard in the Vampire Hunter Society, they are a member of a secret organization that hunts and studies Vampire and other night creatures, this organization is funded by the VanHelsing clan that's is why Bernard was able to agree to his niece request to attend school, he will have eyes and ears on Accadia's actions and whereabouts.
At the Dean's office, upon opening the door, Aldrich welcomed them; "Hello Sir Bernard. Good Morning. How are you today?" They shake hands and smile at each other.
"Thank you for accommodating my abrupt request Sir Aldrich," politely stated by Bernard.
"Old friend, let's not be formal here. I'm happy to have helped you with these things. Ah, is this lovely girl beside you, your niece, Accadia? She's indeed a beauty to behold Bernard... Hello, Miss, I'm Aldrich the Dean of this University, and a friend of your Uncle here, you can call me uncle too, at least when we're outside the university. When we are at the University premises, you call me Sir Aldrich, so we don't want the chain of command to be broken, are we?" Aldrich looked at her with a smile.
"Yes Sir Aldrich, thank you for accepting me even in the middle of the school year, it's been my dream to study here. I promise to behave and study well, so your effort will not be in vain sir," Accadia replied.
"Oh, you do that Miss Accadia, I heard a lot about you from your uncle here, he's very proud of you academically, he told me that you are a brilliant girl, himself is a brilliant man you have a lot in common you know." He smiled and looked at her uncle Bernard meaningfully and continued saying, "My only request is that you stick to your class schedule and never to be involved in ruckus like any other students here." Aldrich reminded her and looked at Bernard then nodded.
"Off you go now, the Registrar staff already had your Class Assignment please get it from them. Good luck and study well Ms. VanHelsing, oh! Bernard returns back to me after you assist your niece, we have something to discuss regarding the research." said Aldrich.
Bernard's face became serious, he nodded and said, "Be right with you in a while," they left the dean's office and headed to the Registrar.
After Accadia got a hold of her Class assignment, Accadia looked at the uncle and said, "I can do this on my own Uncle, you head back to Sir Aldrich, it looks very important because your expression changed there before we left the Dean's office."
Bernard look at her niece and shook his head, "You really are a VanHelsing, your quick to notice huh, but it's nothing it's about the school research on some local folklores here we are planning to include it our academic studies next year, we will open up a new Department the Classic and Ancient Studies Department."
Bernard lied to Accadia, she is not yet ready to know about the Organization and its duties, for now, she must focus on her studies, be normal and happy because he felt that it will not be long for her destiny to catch up with her and it's been a long time. Although he had prepared and trained Accadia he thinks the organization can help her also.
At the school grounds, Accadia and his uncle separate ways. Accadia finds her classroom, while Bernard went back not to the Dean's office but he entered the Research room. At the school corridor, Accadia found the first class she walked at the door. It was a Math class when the professor saw her; the professor waves his hand signalling her to enter the room.
When she entered the room, everyone was silent and just looked at Accadia wearing a turtle neck long sleeve red shirt, fitted jeans and winter boots since it's already started to snow.
Accadia has no makeup, she just uses powder for her face, but all the boys in the room all look like a pack of wolves looking at their prey, while most of the girls look envious, especially the ones seated at the rightmost side of the first row. The girl is beautiful, she wears a one-piece long sleeve turtle neck above the knee skirt with thigh-high winter boots, she is Amelia Furguson, the Daughter of the city mayor of Alpha Girl in the room.
Accadia walked straight to the professor, she was so nervous that she forgot to greet the professor, the professor looked at her and said, "Hello Miss, are you by any chance a mute? Don't you greet your professor at the school where you came from?"
Accadia was startled and said, "I... I... am a sorry p-professor... Good Morning, I was just nervous. Actually, it is my first time attending school. I was home-schooled." she replied.
"It's all good Miss... just relax, take a deep breath, and when you're ready, kindly honour us with your name and tell us about yourself, let me introduce myself to break the ice, I'm Professor Edward Holland, your Math teacher, and the class adviser, now it's your turn whenever you're ready." Encouraged by Professor Edward.
Accadia swallowed first and took a deep breath, it was her first time in front of a large crowd, and she felt like being sucked in. Her heart pounded so fast, she couldn't make her mouth open and make a sound; suddenly at the back she heard an encouraging word.
"You can do it, don't think we're here just relax!" she said, everyone looked at the back and laughed at the girl's notion.
"You're the only one who is invisible here, you know?" Amelia scoffed and laughed, then everyone laughed, the girl at the back just bowed her head.
"Quiet everyone, Miss we don't have all day, hurry up now tell us your name." Professor Edward said, getting impatient.
The scene a while ago made Accadia relax. She opened her mouth and began her introduction.
"My name is Accadia VanHelsing, you may call me Accadia, I am 16 years old, I was homeschooled till 11th grade, and I’ll be on your mercy since this is my very first experience in a formal school. Thank you for accepting me here at the University." Then she bowed to her classmate.
"Okay, then you may sit Ms. VanHelsing since there are a lot of empty chairs you choose anywhere you want we will then begin the class." All the boys offered her a chair, but Accadia went straight at the back and took a seat right beside the girl who encouraged her.
"Hi, I'm Accadia, thank you for your encouraging voice, it helps me relax a little bit, what's your name?''
The girl looked at Accadia in awe. She thought, 'is this girl for real, she spoke to me. Does she also want to be a laughing stock of the class like her?' but she was too kind to voice out those words and replied "I-I'm Liza.... Liza Roundel, nice to meet you, I'm glad could help," then she bowed her head again.
"I told you, another weirdo, hmmp! They look good together, hahaha..." Amelia laughed, but one of the boys reprimanded her, it was Gerard Hamilton.
"Hey, stop that, be kind to her, she's new after all." All the guys agreed with Gerald.
"Whatever!" Amelia smirked at the front with a sarcastic look on her face.
"That's enough children; we will now begin our lesson, look at the board, who among you can answer the equation written on the board?" Professor Edward looks at his student hoping a hand rises in the air, to his surprise he sees Amelia's hand raised, he calls her.
"Oh it's a surprise, Amelia then please tells us what the answer is?"
Amelia stood up and said, "Professor, I raised my hand because I want to give a chance to our new classmate to answer the equation, since she was home schooled this is her chance. So we can measure her intellect, do you agree with me guys?"
All the girls shouted, "Yes! Let her answer it."
Professor Edward, "Okay, then Amelia has a point, Miss VanHelsing shows us what you have learned during your home school."
Accadia was surprised, she just got here and they are now asking her to answer the equation, Liza tapped her hand and whispered.
"Accadia I can help you if you want, just pass me the torch, Amelia is being mean again, she's always like that."
Accadia looked at Liza and said, "Don't worry Liza I got these! Thank you tho." Accadia gave her a sweet smile, and then she faced the board.
Accadia looked at the Example of the equation formula written on the board, it seems that numbers are coming out and computing for themselves, but it is one of Accadia's hidden ability, she's like a Supercomputer, she can compute with her mind after a while she proudly answered, "The answer is -35 sir B is equal to -35."
Everyone looked at her, they all laughed, and then Amelia said, "So fast, hey Accadia, it's not a guessing game you know! You can't possibly answer that in a few seconds." Amelia smirked.
Professor Edward looked at Accadia in surprise and asked the class to stop blubbering.
"Stop.... all of you stop laughing, you should be ashamed of yourselves! Ms. VanHelsing, she answered correctly and not just that she answered very fast, in a matter of seconds she actually calculated and answered correctly. We have another brilliant student in our class, truly birds of the same feather flocking together; the one beside you is currently our number one student. Is that right Liza?"
Looked at Accadia and gave her a smile and said, "I'm happy to have met you Accadia can we be friends?" asked Liza.
Accadia sat down, held Liza's hand and excitedly said, "Of course we can, I'll be more than happy to be your friend, you're my first friend since we moved to this city. I am so happy. This is a happy day for me."
Liza was confused as to why Accadia had that kind of reaction, just by being her friend for the first time, she felt important. Accadia made her feel that and she was happy too, but somehow confused....
