And Sunset Shimmer, who had never participated in Nightmare Night, yet had witnessed the terrifying nature of Nightmare Moon (human version) in this different world.
The scene was chaotic for a while, but fortunately, everything was explained in the end, and the enrollment procedures were successfully completed.
There was no helping it; having run away to a different world, only to see the faces of people she knew—and her own guardian's face at that—was truly terrifying for a pony who had run away from home.
But then again, since even the principal of Canterlot High School was Celestia, couldn't she also encounter another Aurora here?
Thinking of this, Sunset Shimmer's thoughts were in a jumble; she was both a bit expectant and felt she didn't really want to see that face that looked just like Flying Light.
Ever since the moment she stepped through the mirror, she hadn't thought about Aurora, and while busy adapting to life in the Human World, it seemed she had indeed cast everything related to Equestria to the back of her mind.
It was just that as her life gradually stabilized, she would occasionally still be unable to help but think of the other person, thinking of the past joys, only for them to be interrupted by the moment of their falling out.
It was precisely because of the beauty of the past that the words Flying Light had said to her that day seemed all the more cold and cruel.
Her mood was stirred into a complex mix of emotions, and feeling vexed, Sunset Shimmer had to force herself not to think about things that had already become the past.
However, before leaving the principal's office, Sunset Shimmer still asked Principal Celestia who had been the top student in the high school division during the last final exams.
Unexpectedly, this new student, who didn't seem very well-behaved upon their first meeting, was actually concerned about grades. The principal was briefly surprised, but still provided an answer.
Upon learning that it was neither Aurora nor Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer breathed a sigh of relief, suppressing the trace of disappointment that welled up in her heart.
After enrolling, Sunset Shimmer was assigned to classes in her second year of high school.
When she first enrolled, she had intended to study the knowledge of this different world seriously, but she discovered that the courses here, apart from not teaching magic, were basically no different from schools in Equestria.
After persisting for two classes, a bored Sunset Shimmer simply started practicing her handwriting. She wasn't yet skilled at controlling her ten fingers and needed to practice diligently.
As a result, because Sunset Shimmer spent the entire class taking "notes" seriously, the teacher thought she must be a good student who loved to learn.
At lunchtime, Canterlot High School had a free cafeteria, but Sunset Shimmer heard that the cafeteria was contracted by a retired farmer from the town, and since the farmer's main crop was apples, even the jam spread on the sandwiches was apple jam.
Having been warned in advance, Sunset Shimmer chose to bring her own lunch.
Because today was Sunset Shimmer's first day at school, she hadn't yet integrated into any small groups. To avoid awkwardness, she had to take her lunch to a secluded spot to eat.
However, just as she was leaving, she was almost bumped into by a boy.
"I'm so sorry! Are you okay?"
Sunset Shimmer checked her bread and salad, and since nothing had spilled, she didn't want to argue with the person.
"It's fine."
Sunset Shimmer's gaze couldn't help but linger for a moment on the boy with the blue hair-gelled style who had bumped into her.
To be precise, it was because of the instrument he was carrying on his back; Sunset Shimmer knew it was a guitar. After getting fingers, she had become very interested in many things that tested finger dexterity.
"My name is Jidian Akun, or you can just call me Flash Guard. I don't think I've seen you at school before?"
Flash Guard looked at the cool girl in front of him, whose colors were as flamboyant and intense as flames, but whose temperament was slightly cold. He couldn't help but wonder if she was also into rock music, so he told his bandmates to wait a moment, seeing if he could make friends with her.
"Hmm... I wasn't here before; I just started school today."
Sunset Shimmer raised an eyebrow, giving a perfunctory response to Flash Guard's attempt to strike up a conversation. Honestly, she didn't want to chat with a "monkey" with a rather structured face when she was rushing to fill her stomach at lunchtime.
"I have to go; if there's anything else, we can talk next time if there's a chance."
Sunset Shimmer took one last look at his guitar, then waved her hand at him and turned away decisively, leaving Flash Guard, who was just about to pull out his phone to ask for Sunset Shimmer's contact information, standing there awkwardly.
The companions behind him whistled, mocking Flash Guard for hitting a wall.
"Even the school hunk gets rejected?"
"Looks like that handsome face of yours, plus the halo of being the band's lead singer, aren't all that great~"
Hearing his friend's annoying tone, Flash Guard pulled out his guitar and chased after them.
