Interestingly, the hall's ceiling could open and close automatically, allowing a view of the clear sky from inside the hall. From the ground floor, one could see the floors above thanks to the glass railings at the edge of each floor. Some students were seen leaning and relaxing at the glass edges, enjoying the beautiful view below.
"By the way, where is our class, Nayla?" Nita asked Nayla beside her.
"Um... we're in Bamboo#100A class," Nayla replied.
"We need to go to the right, then take the elevator to the 18th floor. Bamboo Area Room 100A," Nayla explained quickly, being used to such notes as an assistant.
They hurried to the right and looked for the fastest elevator.
The elevator opened... then Nita and Nayla entered the elevator heading to the 18th floor.
The elevator room was spacious, with a side length of 10 meters. There were already many students inside.
"Princess Nita?" A boy with a smooth and quite handsome face took the initiative to talk to Nita.
"Ahh, yes," Nita replied, slightly nervous.
Yes, she was nervous... either because she had never attended university before or because she didn't know the person in front of her, who was a handsome boy. Nita couldn't hide her slight nervousness.
"Hey, it's not polite to speak like that to someone you don't know," Nayla, standing beside her, said angrily.
"How could you mention someone's name you don't know?"
"Sorry... sorry," the handsome boy wasn't angry; he apologized sincerely.
Nayla was surprised; was the handsome boy in front of her having a fever or something? Shouldn't he be angry?
"Is there anything I can help you with, sir?" Nita didn't want Nayla to cause more trouble, so she changed the topic.
"Ahh... no, I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Walter Smith."
"And also, there's no need to call me sir, Princess Nita."
Walter Smith raised his hand for a handshake. Nita, starting to get used to and slightly understanding the boy in front of her, realized Walter Smith was an extroverted and positive person. Nita didn't stay silent either; she shook hands with Walter Smith.
Race: Blue Planet Human
Nita was a bit surprised by Walter; even with her status as the city's ruler and the island owner's sister and having Tier-3 strength, Walter wasn't afraid but instead took the initiative to befriend her. Of course, Nita didn't easily trust Walter's open nature, but for now, it was good to have more friends.
"By the way, what's your major, princess? I'm majoring in physics," Walter asked Nita.
"I'm also majoring in physics," Nita replied casually.
"Wow, cool, we're the same... by the way, are you also in Bamboo#100A class?"
During the elevator ride, Walter chatted a lot with Nita and Nayla. Walter was the son of the city's ruler on the American alliance island. His talent in combat was quite good, but his father wanted him to have an education so he wouldn't lose to the nobles' children. So Walter had to attend university while actively participating in combat.
Soon, the elevator reached the 18th floor, and then Walter, Nita, and Nayla exited the elevator and headed to Bamboo#100A room.
During their journey to the bamboo room, they encountered many students. Not only from Indonesia, but also quite a few foreign students, most of them children of important people, so there were always assistants by their side.
"Room 87 A," Nayla murmured as she scanned the rooms they passed by.
"We're here," Nayla said cheerfully. Nita and Walter observed the classroom from the outside. They saw many students already inside the classroom.
The layout of the classroom wasn't much different from renowned campuses on Earth, but the equipment inside was more sophisticated and modern. A spherical object in the middle of the class was projecting a life of microorganisms and how they survive. Some students were watching the projection curiously.
The class hadn't officially started, but the projection remained active to acclimate the new students. Nita, Nayla, and Walter then entered the classroom.
"Hello... everyone!" Walter's shout was very loud. He shouted while spreading his arms as if he was about to hug someone.
"What's with that guy? Is he crazy?" A boy in the top right corner of the seats said. The boy had black eyes and bright red hair.
"Idiot! You embarrass the American alliance," Ema and her friend felt slightly ashamed of Walter's behavior. If it weren't in the classroom, Ema would have kicked him at least once in the face.
"Wow... that guy is very handsome," a girl with slanted eyes and shoulder-length hair was fascinated by Walter, who had caught the class's attention.
"Nayla... let's find a seat," Nita ignored Walter's foolish behavior, then pulled Nayla's hand beside her and looked for a seat in the front right side.
Walter, realizing he had overreacted, felt a bit embarrassed and scratched his head.
"Sorry... excuse me," he said while glancing back but couldn't find Nita and Nayla. He soon spotted them in the front right side and walked toward them.
"Two seats away. Otherwise, your stupidity might infect us," Nayla blocked Walter's seating area two seats beside them.
"Princess Nita... please..."
Walter looked at Nita and tried to ask for help, but all he received was Nita's indifference.
She was actively discussing in the alliance chat.

Nita's brief message invited many reactions and responses from various alliance members. Of course, with Nita's current position, it was a good opportunity to catch her attention. Just a few words from her could improve the quality of life for ordinary people.
