"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
[Do you really want to become a walking book zombie?]"Nero, as much as I wanted to have fun you know that I can't afford to waste away money and time for unnecessary stuff. Rather than drawing circles and sitting at the corner doing nothing, I might as well make full use of my spare time.""Besides, we do have a written assessment for tomorrow so I need to memorize properties of mystical plants as much as I could."[I know,.. I know. Don't worry about that exam. I got you... Trust me.. okay? Now,kindly let go of that book... and follow your heart.]Tilting his little fur head at one side, Nero declared as he stared outside looking from a distance. His posture was akin to a portrait of a valiant lion and from afar he looks as if a dignified and wise creature who has already seen the vicissitudes of life."Follow your heart? Follow your foot! Stop messing around Nero, can you?"[O
[Little lass, calm down... Don't jump into conclusion right away. Maybe it's not as what you think it is. It could be that he is just meeting an old friend.] Even though Nero was saying that his tone betrayed his true feelings otherwise. It was difficult to ascertain if he was saying that to convince his master or himself. "An old friend you say?? Meeting a friend in this kind of place full of flowers?!!! Why does it look more like meeting a lover instead! What a romantic scene!!!! Huh!" The green-eyed Audrey spat through gritted teeth. She feels like her blood is boiling from frustration and she badly wanted to punch something to vent her rage. The uneasiness she was feeling inside was like rampaging water threatening to burst out. She doesn't know exactly the reason why she was feeling like that. She stood petrified on the spot not daring to make a noise. Those hot tears that she was trying hard to hold back eventually wet her
Nero, on the other hand, snuggled close next to Audrey's lap. He lifted his gaze to look at the girl before deliberately clearing his throat. [Ehem...ehem... Errr.... do you want me to sing a song for you?] Nero insinuated to which Audrey reacted by raising an eyebrow. "Do you know one?" Intrigued and surprised, Audrey looked at her cat curiously and asked him back [Well, now that you mentioned it, I realized that I don't know a single song. How about this? You sing, and I will sing along with you.] (-____-")7 ... (this is Audrey) (=^__^=) ... (this is Nero) Knowing that her cat is trying his best to comfort her, to the point that he even requested a sing-off, Audrey decided to play along. Besides, it's a rare opportunity to have her cat sing for her. With her voice still quivering and a little hoarse from crying she started. *** A/n: Insert the tune
Going back on the time before Steve was chased by his crazed pursuers. He was actually in the middle of the group study with those beauties. As promised, he went with them right after their Beasticology class. At first, they were just chatting casually. Trading insights mainly about what they have learned so far. Every now and then, there will be a few mentions of their deep admiration towards Steve. During those times, of course, the young sorceresses did not forget to put more effort into acting cute in his front. Even adding a few good words about themselves to make them appear more attractive on Steve's eyes.It did not take long for the supposed group study to completely stir further away from its real purpose. Eventually, the topic dawdles more about Steve's affair. Upon the mention of the incident during the Beasticology class, the atmosphere started to turn awry. The girls keep on hinting about his 'fated love'. This left Steve feeling slightly uncomfortable.
