Sunset Shimmer sat down in front of the sculpture at the school entrance, eating her lunch while observing it.
This sculpture of a pony in a sitting pose was the portal Sunset Shimmer used to travel to and from the Human World. Now it was closed, and it felt no different from ordinary marble.
"Actually, the base of that statue is solid granite, composed mainly of 30% to 45% quartz, 40% to 50% feldspar, and 5% to 15% minor minerals, such as muscovite and kaolinite. That's why it looks so clean and white."
"The statue itself is made of white sandstone, which has a medium-soft texture, is easy to cut and carve, and can render delicate lines. Its main components include over 52% quartz, about 15% clay, about 18% goethite, and over 10% other substances."
"In short, there is no marble."
A girl with dark purple hair happened to pass by and suddenly began to talk at length to Sunset Shimmer, who was sitting under the statue. She was expressionless, and her tone was indifferent, as if she were reciting a textbook.
She was also holding a small pebble in her hand.
"This is a pebble. The pebble tells me you are curious about that big guy."
"...I haven't said anything yet?"
The girl with dark purple hair nodded and walked away slowly under Sunset Shimmer's bewildered gaze, pouring cookies for the little pebble... for the pebble as she walked.
'What a weird person.'
Sunset Shimmer stuffed a mouthful of salad into her mouth, secretly complaining that the students here were even weirder than those at the School for Gifted Unicorns.
However, this was just a minor episode. Sunset Shimmer didn't take it to heart, turning back to finish her lunch while thinking about what to do next.
The reason she joined this school was that it was a stable and not-too-complicated society, very suitable for a "human beginner" like her to blend in and learn everything about this world.
As for why she chose Canterlot High School, it was because it was a public school, which basically waived tuition and fees. Unlike the other school, Crystal Prep Academy, which not only had high entry requirements but also very expensive tuition.
Sunset Shimmer couldn't help but wonder if the reason she hadn't seen the human versions of Flying Light and Twilight here was that they were both attending Crystal Prep Academy.
Sunset Shimmer had no interest in verifying this; after all, even if they were there, they weren't the ponies she knew, and even if she met them, it might not necessarily be a good thing.
The current Sunset Shimmer had just begun to adapt to her "life." She had come here with the mindset of a pioneer, but after experiencing it, she found that, except for the lack of magic, it wasn't much different from the pony lifestyle.
However, the feeling of finally not having anything forcing her to learn magic was quite relaxing, but it also brought Sunset Shimmer some confusion, leaving her unsure of what to do next.
How about... making a few friends?
A strange thought suddenly popped into her mind, and Sunset Shimmer quickly shook her head, dispelling the idea that made her allergic.
'Damn Flying Light, even after running here, you still won't let me go?'
Sunset Shimmer sighed and stopped her futile thinking.
A month ago, her goal in pony life was still the distant dream of becoming a princess. Now that this dream had become even more distant, she actually didn't value it as much anymore.
This didn't mean that Sunset Shimmer had let go of her obsession; after all, she had been thinking about that position for many years.
The current openness might be because the new environment had changed her mindset, allowing her to cast aside those complicated thoughts of the past and return to her original self.
In summary, Sunset Shimmer's goals in pony life were all obsessions conditioned by the outside world, so expecting her to immediately determine her life goals was clearly asking too much.
For now, it was better to focus on establishing a foothold in the Human World; after all, without even a legal identity, how could she accomplish anything?
Moreover, Sunset Shimmer was very interested in driving a car and planned to get her driver's license once she received her official ID. She estimated that by the time her identification was issued, she would be just the right age to enroll in driving school.
Just as Sunset Shimmer was imagining a bright future to improve her mood, a shadow enveloped her. Appearing before her eyes was a pair of blue shoes and socks.
"Wow, wow, look, why is there a transfer student eating lunch all alone here?"
The speaker was a girl with white hair, wearing a mischievous smile. She crossed her arms and looked down at Sunset Shimmer.
"I don't think I've provoked you, have I? I don't even know who you are."
Thinking the other person was the type of troublemaker who came looking for a fight, Sunset Shimmer became vigilant. Although she was now an ordinary girl without magic, it didn't mean she would let herself be pushed around when faced with provocation.
