Meanwhile, they did not expect for the orientation to drag on for a few more hours. But after that, the students were finally instructed to head to their respective classrooms to meet their subject teachers. Audrey and her squad headed to their classroom together with the other students. Everyone had a gleam in their eyes as they wait inside the classroom with much anticipation.
"We will be meeting our subject teachers soon, do you think we will have a hot and sexy teacher for this year?"
"Don't even think about it, I heard that the teachers here are all in the Blue realm and some are in the early stage of Indigo realm, I bet they were bags of skin and bones already."
"Besides since they were sorceress no matter how good their appearance and body could be you cannot trust your eyes cause more likely they were even qualified to be your father's auntie. In short, they are way too old!"
"Cut your nonsense. It's not as if I'm looking for a partner, hello?
Aside from the one on one introduction of each subject teacher, they also left them with something to prepare for tomorrow's lesson. Professor De Belen instructed her student to make sure to prepare their wands and grimoire for they will be doing basic spell casting tomorrow. Many of the new students got excited upon hearing it. Meanwhile, for their Apothecary Class, Professor Eres said that they will be concocting the simplest Potion available which is the "Elixir of Oblivion". The formula in making this draught is written in their potion book that they are supposed to prepare, the "Elementary guides on how you can concoct your first potion". On the other hand, Professor Huges makes them memorize one hundred Common Mystical Plants for their Plant Mysticism class. The study material for this is also included in their botany book, "Everything you need to know about Magical Plants" It seems that Professor Huges is planning to conduct a practical test on their f
"But Professor Eres, does it mean we have to do it right the first time? How could we guarantee success at first try????""It will be best if you can successfully concoct your first potion on the first try. But of course, it is also inevitable for your concoction to have an occasional mistake here and there. Affecting the efficacy of your concocted potion or even turning it into a failed product. If you wish to try again, you can always purchase another set of ingredients but the expenses will be all yours."Professor Eres explains everything with patience."Well, it does make sense for the school to have that kind of arrangement. Because if the students will just keep on making mistakes on their concoction and if the school will keep on providing them for free, it won't take long for the school itself to shut down due to bankruptcy, I suppose."Audrey nodded in agreement. Well, it seems that she still needs to think of an idea to earn more magic stones i
Only a handful of the students managed to accomplish the decoction of Victoria's Pulsing Heart and that includes Audrey and Steve. They were currently cooling the brew with the herbs in it. After it cools down, the students strain the liquid into a bowl. The instruction for the second phase of the Elixir of Oblivion concoction is more detailed so they just have to follow it strictly and everything will be good to go. "Now on your mortar, you have to put three sprigs of The Seven-Petaled Jasmine and mixed it with two measures of the decoction from Victoria's Pulsing Heart" "Crush the ingredient into a creamy paste using the pestle" Professor Eres's voice echoed inside the classroom as she guides some of the students while she was roaming around. "Put the remaining decoction of Victoria's Pulsing Heart into the cauldron" "Juice your Elfian Worms three times and add two blobs of its thick mucus to your cauldron as well" "Gently heat
"If I'm not mistaken. Steve also passed today's Apothecary class. We can also ask for his help later on once you guys started your Elixir of Oblivion concoction.""I guess he won't be available anymore. He must be overly booked already."This time it was Jace who spoke as he looked at the corner of their classroom. Following his gaze, they saw a group of female students crowding around Steve."Steve, can you teach us how to make a Elixir of Oblivion?""Me too,.. please I need your help, I hope we could be good friends in the future.""Steve is not just good looking, he is also good at Apothecary class. Can we trade insights later during lunch? My treat!" Looking at how their classmates were crowding over their fellow, Allan decided to 'rescue' him."Alright everyone, calm down. Steve will surely accommodate you all once he finds the time. In the meantime, please give him a breather...."
Feeling exhausted for today's Apothecary class, the squad resigned to bed early.They had been busy concocting for the entire day that they fail to notice the time. The sun was about to set to the western horizon when they finally finished their supposed remedial class for Apothecary class with Audrey's help.It was also only at this time that they noticed that Steve is not yet around."Being famous sure has a fair share of trouble"Nike commented meaningfully."It seems that he was still currently busy dealing with the 'group study' together with those beauties."Allan added as he let his body fall to his bed freely. Sighing in contentment he added,"Where is Jace by the way? I didn't recall seeing him return after our class.""Tss...Don't worry much about him. That lad knows how to use his charm to his advantage."Ni
Walking back to the same classroom, the students leisurely make their way. According to their class schedule, today they will be having their Beasticology class with Professor Morgan. It was still early for the class to start but the classroom was already bustling with activity and discussion. It was apparent that the student sorceress of the class was all in high spirit. They had been anticipating this class ever since they met Professor Morgan during the class orientation. Aside from a known fact that Professor Morgan possessed an attractive face, his valiant disposition does not come short of the word excellent. Match with his unparalleled talent in beast taming, he managed to forge an image of an ideal 'knight in shining armor in every student sorceress' heart."Good morning little warlocks and sorceress. Today, we will be conducting our Beasticology class in an open field. So I beseech you to head outside and meet me at Forbidden Forest."
"Everyone, I believe that I already told you before what will be our lesson for today. Don't worry, this activity is just a piece of cake. All you have to do is feed the Cupid's Ponies, as easy as that. You just have to toss around a Bubble Fruit, once someone from the Cupid's Ponies ate your fruit, you can be considered to pass today's activity." Professor Morgan declared and then as if recalling about something, he added afterward. "Regarding the reward that I mentioned before, whoever among of you managed to offer and feed the Cupid's Ponies using their bare hands, you will be granted a chance to mount them. Of course, I will be assisting you in the process of riding it so there is no need to worry about your safety. This is open for both guys and gals." When the students heard about the reward, it was received by mix reaction. Some, but mostly the girls were quite disappointed about hearing the news because they had high hopes to get something more from t
Meanwhile, Audrey and her friend fall in line together. Allan being in the front, followed by Steve, Niccoli, then Nike, Jace and last is Audrey.When it was about time for Allan to offer the fruit with his bare hand, the Cupid's Ponies suddenly makes a faint sound."Kneeeiigghhhh...."Startled, Allan drop the fruit he was holding. But before it landed on the ground, it vanishes."This..... does it mean it accept my offering or what?""Rest assured, since it approached you while you were offering the food with your hand, it means that it bores you goodwill. That is enough to let you ride the Cupid's Ponies."Hearing Professor Morgan's reassurance, Allan heaved a sigh of relief. He was still feeling slightly depressed due to his poor result in Apothecary class. But his success to Beasticology class uplifts his mood. Smiling in satisfaction, he waited at the side. Waiting to see how his friends will fair. But before he could walk away, a horn gl
[Distract them for me.]“Was it not only right for Steffi to get to use to eye whenever she feels like it?? I mean, she is older than the two of you so naturally, she was supposed to have more authority above both of you, no?.”“Ehhh… She’ll be fine. I’m the youngest so they should let me wear it more.” (Meredith)“The kid is right. The eldest should have the eyeball. She is a genius” (Steffi)Steve, on the other hand, seemed to get what Audrey was trying to do, so he said something that would surely add fuel to the fire.“But what about the middle child? I am sure, Ariel wants to have her turn too.&rdqu
“Now, where are we? Right, cooking.”Steffi changed the topic on purpose, before turning to her sisters.“I need the eye to check if it's ready, who has it?”“It’s around here, somewhere,”Meredith replied as she started to rummage through a pile of disorganized drawers. She felt obliged to respond since she was the last one to use the Magus Eye. Unfortunately, she forgot where she left it.“The last time I saw it, you put it in the utensils compartment, Meredith” Steffi insinuated using a lazy tone so the other party rebutted,“Don’t use that tone with my name.”Ariel on the other hand joined in this time to inform them that the eye was nowhere to be seen.“It’s not there this time.”After a while of contemplation, Meredith’s face lit up as she recalled something.“Aha! Steffi always put it in the dish cabinet:”And just like that, she found where her sister was hiding it.Consequently, the group found it interesting to watch how the three sisters could be talkative without having t
“I agree with Ariel. Why don’t we invite them over? This way, we could continue our chat there whilst they take their much-needed rest.” This time, it was Meredith who spoke and she deliberately told her sisters this. Nonetheless, she has spoken the words loud enough to be heard by others. The students, on the other hand, were beyond ecstatic when they overhear the ongoing conversation. But decided that it would be best not to allow their emotion to show on their faces. At this point, Meredith turned to the group and greeted them with a bow. “Let me apologize on my sister’s behalf. The thing is, it has been a while since we had visitors. As such, we are no longer accustomed to receiving guests.” She insinuated before she slowly approached the bunch of bewildered youngsters; careful not to bump her toe as she felt her way through the darkness. Her blindness was made obvious by her action and it made her appear pitiful to any onlooker. Truth be told, the Grae’s current act of displ
“Seriously, when will they stop obsessing over Cercei?”Tsking in annoyance, Steffi stealthily moved her slender fingers next to the Magnus Eye with the full intention of taking it back from her younger sister’s possession.“These people were getting on my nerves!”She purposely added this to appeal to her sisters’ sentiment so that their minds could focus somewhere else and they would not notice it once she started hogging the magic eye all for herself again. Meanwhile, her plan worked, as it always did. Ariel readily agreed to her and with a voice full of despondency, she said,“That’s how the mage community works. They fear what they could not understand and so they are set on destroying anything that they cannot control.”Ariel finished with an exasperated sigh. Meredith, on the other hand, could not help but clenched her fist as she was reminded of their good friend’s plight. Then with her brows knitted together, she roared,“The gal did not deserve all this hatred.”Meanwhile, t
On the flip side, rewinding the clock a tad, just a few minutes before Audrey’s group discovered that they unknowingly fall under a spell, the Graes were already watching them. “The eye! Who has the eye?” Meredith, the youngest, shouted at the top of her lungs. Steffi, on the other hand, stepped away from the giant cauldron before answering. “Over here. I had it with me.” She purposely put a safe distance between her and her two sisters before taking the eye out from her pocket. Afterward, she put the eyeball inside her empty socket. Meanwhile, Ariel, the middle child among the three sisters complained, “You again? You are always snagging our eyes by yourself.” “I know right? Give us a chance as well.” Meredith seconded. But Steffi only rolled her removable eye and mumbled, “Oh, shut up! Stop whining, it's because I have more use of this than the two of you combined.” Ariel no longer argued. But Meredith was different. “Give me that, it is my turn today.” She insinuated and
“But this was done in consideration of what was the lesser evil. News about how the petrifying monster has been terrorizing the Black Forest had already reached the ears of the masses and as a result, was causing mayhem among the people; both non-magic and magic practitioners alike. If it was not for that, the mage community would not make a move.” “Terrorizing, you say.” The Grae mockingly repeated Niccoli’s word that struck her noggin the most. Then with a contemptuous scoff, she added, “What an interesting choice of words considering that it was you, students, who made the first move against her. If you were to ask me, I think it is more accurate to say that it was the other way around. You all are the ones doing the terrorizing. You brought the melee with you and now that she retaliated, you turned her into a villain?” Everyone fell silent afterward but it was not because they were trying to come up with better arguments to refute the other party’s words. Rather, it was due to
Audrey was on her dormitory bed when all that happened, and she was absolutely oblivious to the problem that was headed her way. Meanwhile, the results of the examination were announced on the third day. The students gathered around the square early in the morning and crammed in front of the announcement board to check their results. They also wanted to find out which class they had been allocated to. Niccoli dragged Audrey into the heavily obstructed crowd and finally came before the Herbalist Division’s announcement board. Niccoli immediately found their names, and as expected, both of them had obtained the highest marks for the test. They were also allocated to the Herbalist Division’s violet class for that autumn enrollment. Niccoli was also excited to see the name ‘Andrew’ written on the top of the list. Everyone envied her marks. “Andrew! You are the first! You are the first!” Niccoli was extremely surprised and held onto Audrey’s shoulder. He was very excited, and it was as i
[Alright, I must admit it’s my fault this time. My bad.] “As you should!” Ultimately, Nero acknowledged the part he played in inciting the agitated hut to action. But he also did not forget to let Audrey know that he did not appreciate her tone. [Needless to say, raising your voice is completely unnecessary. Besides, getting mad at me won’t change anything, will it? You’re kind of embarrassing me, just you know.] The cat tried to reason out but with her and her friends’ lives at stake and almost put in danger, Audrey did not back away easily this time. “Oh yeah? Then swear to me that from now on, you will be mindful of your choice of words. We have to be careful with every word we are saying because it was not every time that we got a chance to take it back.” Meanwhile, Nero’s response came shortly. However, it was so brief. Moreover, it did not sound sincere either. [Okay. I promised] So Audrey prompted the cat to state the matter precisely because she did not want him to circ
“What if the Graes already took notice of us as soon as we entered their perimeter and right now, we are under a spell; making our eyes play a trick on us? What if what we are seeing right now is not real?”“Well, if that is the case, then I guess there is only one way to check it.”Audrey insinuated and without wasting another breath, she said the passphrase."Turn your back to the forest, your front to me."Slowly, it dawned on the others as well what was possibly happening and so without waiting to be told what to do, they recited the same thing too."Turn your back to the forest, your front to me."They whispered into the air one after another and almost immediately, the landscape changed into something else, right before their naked eyes.Everyone watched with an awestruck face as the trees turned into fences. At the same time, just a few feet away from where they were standing, they noticed how an empty lot from moments ago started to morph into what seemed to be an inconspicuou
