– Do you suggest stopping by to visit the girls? – The fireman, who cannot grieve for long, immediately perked up.
“I suggest we set up somewhere nearby and wait for them.” “They won’t pass us by,” he expressed a sensible thought to Kai. – Ethan, how do you know which one has your Focus?
“A magical sign appears on the couple’s forearm, like a wide bracelet,” I enlightened him.
– Shall we grab them by the hands and watch? – Jed was inspired and immediately complained: “It’s a pity the weather let us down, all the girls are dressed warmly.”
“Then, let’s think about how to force them to undress,” he winked at Kai.
“You definitely have no equal in this,” I chuckled contentedly.
Mirre Blackrock, elemental mage, adept at the Academy of Wind and Storms. Border of Onyx Rocks and the Steppe of the Seventeen Winds.
Felsen Schwartz smiled slyly and asked:
– Adept Blackrock, have you found that little thing you forgot?
– Yes, escher rector.
– That is great! So now I can continue.
I mentally howled: “Why? Why mock me like that on the first day?”
I had not yet become acquainted with fire magic, only with air and quite a bit with water, but now it seemed to me that I was about to burst into flames like a torch. Cheeks are probably abelia color already!
– Sorry! – I whispered, not knowing where to go.
Well, Simka! Well, I'm friendly! Couldn't wait? Now I will remember this until the end of my studies!
“Nothing, nothing, Adept Blackrock.” We are all interested in making you feel comfortable with us, right? “He turned around and looked sternly at the deans.
They vaguely agreed with him, and only my father silently glared at me and walked with red spots.
– Thank you, escher rector. “You are so kind…” I stammered, bowing politely.
And in shame she stared at the toes of her own shoes, clenching her fists so that she could feel her nails even through her leather gloves. I was lucky that I put them on so prudently, otherwise I would have definitely cut myself to the point of bleeding.
The rector continued:
– Well, since we are done with the official part, I propose to feed our new adepts and show them the place where they will live. For any questions, please contact Ashsheri Krieger or me. Everyone here is ready to make your stay at the academy comfortable.
“But don’t forget about studying and the rules,” Estella Krieger put in, smiling at us coldly.
For some reason it seemed to me that she didn’t love us all in advance. And it was not in the words spoken, but in the look. She didn't like us, period!
The delegation led by the rector returned to the building, and the dean of the Faculty of Household Magic came down the steps and, having examined us, remarked:
– It’s good that you don’t have much stuff. It will be easier to get ready if they expel you. “She laughed merrily at her own joke.
The girls and I looked at each other.
– Why should we be expelled? – Vilde asked.
Ashsheri Krieger looked at her as if she were a worm.
– Despite what the rector said, don’t expect any favors, eshsheri. The rules are the same for both boys and girls, is that clear?
– Of course, eshsheri dean! Rules are rules, we understand that,” Volde answered her almost reverently.
Vilde made a face at her sister from behind the dean's back, but remained silent for once.
Zikki stared at the ground, but I noticed a predatory grin on the fire girl’s face. The dragon Beata, on the contrary, tilted her head slightly to the side and raised her eyebrows. She didn’t even think about hiding her reaction. She really doesn't seem to care about any rules. And on eshcheri Krieger too.
