“That class was boring...” said Eirian with her hands clasped behind her nape. “Why do we have to take History when we’ve already lived through it?” She yawned.
“It’s so we can learn from the mistakes of the past!” Dorin answered with his index finger raised. “And didn’t mother say before that knowing the past is the key to the future? Besides, it’s not just History, it’s ‘History and Politics’ and Aunt Agate said I needed it to know how this world works.”
“It’s still boring.” Eirian pouted her full, red lips. An audible sigh could be heard in their surroundings.
Dorin noticed that there were several students staring at his companion, some of them had even followed them from their last class.
“Eirian, do people always follow you where ever you go?” Dorin asked his friend.
“Ah, don’t mind them, I guess they jus
“What took you so long?” Johan asked when Dorin, Eirian and Seb entered the round room on top of the tower. “I was beginning to think that I was the only one to show up from our Sphere!” “You mean, Benette isn’t here yet?” asked Dorin. “Where’s Dagon? Didn’t you bring him along with you?” Johan raised his thumb and gestured behind him. “Dorin! You finally arrived!” Dorin and Seb were surprised to see Prince Alexander and his retinue in the room as well! [What are you doing here?] Seb was the first to ask, while Azra stared at the third prince. “Isn’t this class only for Special Class Sphere members?” Dorin asked next. “Yes, it is,” Xander said as he came closer with Dagon following behind him, carrying a large bag of potato chips. “We just got permission to be re-evaluated,” he explained. “You see, I wasn’t feeling very well on the day we had our proficiency test, thus, my true capabilities were not adequately measured.” [And the rest of your group? You’re saying you were all m
“Woah! What just happened?!” Johan was the first to react. Eury pulled away from Dorin. [Dorin is just 13] was written on Seb’s slate. “Cradle snatcher!” Eirian gasped as she snatched Dorin into her arms. “Eury, you shouldn’t just kiss anybody out of the blue!” Xander told his team mate. “Dorin Silvius is not just anybody,” the Dryad replied. “He is my chosen mate.” “Your mate?” Dorin repeated, his face all red. “I refuse!” Eirian tightened her hold on the young wind mage. “My Dorin is too young to be in any relationship!” “Then I shall wait. It is not hard for us Dryads to wait.” “I still refuse!” Eirian insisted. “Wow, I had no idea you were such a player, Dorin,” Johan said with a grin, “you’re just like Seb who had women following him around last week!” [Do not remind me.] “I do not mind if you have other women, as long as your seeds are strong,“ said Eury
“Good afternoon, Prof. Dimitrio, it is a pleasure to learn under such a prestigious instructor of the Royal Aubrianne Imperial University. I have read all your research and followed your studies in the magical propertied of plants since I was a child,” said Mordecai who gave a respectful bow as he neared the elderly professor. “You praise me too much, Mordecai,” Prof. Dimitrio laughed like a young girl. “There are still so many I need to learn, and as you can see, I am not growing any younger.” “And I pray that you have all the time in the world to learn everything else you wish to learn,” added the medic with a dashing smile. “Oh, enough of that,” Prof. Dimitrio laughed some more. “Eurydice,” she looked at the Dryad, “I’m afraid you have more things to teach me than I, you. May we guide each other in this lesson.” “Likewise, little Belladonna.” Eury nodded curtly at her. “And you, Mr. Revious, are always very cur
Chapter 102 - Slowly, Dorin’s eyes opened. The first thing he saw was a tall man with flowing gold hair and golden eyes, smiling at him. He was well build and slightly bronzed with the bright sun shining behind him, yet he can clearly see his calm face and the gentle look in his round eyes. “Who...” The man held out a hand. As he touched it, he suddenly remembered where he was, and once again, he was face to face with the hooded oracle with the cold, bony hands. “Pan Phineas, did I do it?” asked Dorin. “See for yourself,” replied the familiar raspy voice. Dorin looked down at his hands and saw that his aunt’s seal was no longer there. He was so happy to see that he had finally mastered his lightning that he looked at Pan Phineas with a grin as he lowered himself back on the ground. “I finally did – “ ‘SKRAAAA-AAAAK!!!’ Lightning entered through the windows near them and struck Dorin from every direction! “Oh, not again!” Dorin moaned as his uniform frizzled. “Remember, Dori
Chapter 103 Johan was about to join Sebastian’s group, when someone pulled his arm. He was surprised to see Prince Alexander grinning at him. “Johan, why don’t you join us with Dean Alcion?” Xander asked. “He is also a powerful fire, earth, and metal mage like us.” “That is correct, I have wanted to test your abilities as well, Johan,” said the Dean. Johan had no choice but to join their group instead. They spend the rest of the class honing their earth skills by reshaping bits of granite into small figures, while Venet and Boulvar watched thoughtfully from the side. When the three hours were finally over, the Dean clapped his hands three times to call everyone’s attention. “That is enough for now, we will see you again this Friday, at seven in the evening.” He looked at Dorin’s direction. The lightning had stopped striking the area for some time now. “I hope that you have learned a lot from your chosen instructors for today,” he continued. “Thank you, Dean Alcione,
“That’s it, Dorin,” said Pan Phineas as Dorin closed his eyes once more. It took him less time to concentrate and keep the thunder and lightning at bay. “Remember that feeling, Dorin, feel it with your heart and with your soul and you will never lose to the lightning’s destructive power.” “I think I’ve got it now, Sir Pan Phineas,” replied Dorin with a peaceful smile on his face. “I am one with the wind... one with the universe...” “I wouldn’t go that far,” replied the oracle with a soft cackle. “All you need is to be one with yourself. Remember that feeling and you will be able to tame your power, even if your emotions get the better of you. All you need to do, is keep the power within you in a state of peace.” “A state of peace...” Dorin repeated. “Think of a hollow within your center, Dorin, imagine a cradle to rest in, and let the power flow inside this cradle in an eternal, never ending cycle. There, it shall stay, until you call upon it again.” “A hollow... inside me..
Chapter 105“Ah, what a wonderful morning!” sighed prince Xander as he opened the door of his room. “Good morning, your highness,” Boulvar and Venet greeted him. “Good morning! How was your sleep in your new room?” Mordecai asked him in a striped apron.“It was simply marvelous!” replied Xander who went to the kitchen counter to watch his medic flip a half burnt pancake in the air.It flew in a wide arc and landed on the kitchen counter in front of him.
Chapter 106 -“I see you’re still here,” Johan addressed Benette. “What time does your classes start?” “I-it starts at 9, I only have classes with Prof. Althea, after all,” the medic replied nervously. “M-my father kicked me out of the military program, so, aside from magic defense, there’s really nothing more...”“See, it’s better not to have classes so early in the morning!” Johan said with a grin, ignoring the facts about Benette’s father. “Right, Sebastian?”
