2024-10-29 19:42:56After he made a bet with the bullies that became the new hot topic at the University of Jared, everyone was talking about it eventually it got to the ears of the professors and then one professor took a particular interest in it, a lanky disciplinarian had graduated from the University for over three decades as the best of his year.
So he summoned both of the boys to his office because he wanted to make some things clear.
"A wizard's word is not to be taken lightly..."
he said to both of them.
"... and in this university, we did not only teach you how to hone your powers, but how to become responsible members of society that can handle this power... and responsible people do not lie or go back on their word..."
The reason for his long speech was actually that he wanted to get involved in the bet. He had been one of the professors that had been most disappointed when Rex stopped developing.
He had hoped that he would be the student that would finally break his record, so after hearing that Rex had learnt another entrance he wanted to keep the ball rolling.
"So what I am trying to say is that if any of you decide to go back on your word I will immediately have that person expelled, and I am sure that I don't have to say this too but just to be clear if any of you use any underhanded methods to pass this exam then you will also be punished severely and expelled as well..."
Both boys were practically shivering in their seats, but then the man's face came down and he had this sort of grandfatherly look.
"However the winner will receive a special magical item from me,"
This immediately filled the boys with excitement, and both of them promised to work very hard.
When Rex came out of the office he noticed that the other boy was still glaring at him, and when he looked back at him the glare turned into a twisted smile.
"I suggest that you better start packing up your bags. It will make it easier when they kick you out of the university..."
After he said Rex cocked his eyebrow.
"When did you start talking to yourself?"
The taller male gritted his teeth.
"you're still acting tough huh just wait till I'm done with you, you won't be so cocky when they kick you out on your nos-"
he suddenly looked over Rex's head and then snickered.
"Do you have a bell or something that keeps attracting your girlfriend when you are in trouble?
"What girlfr-"
Rex snap his head back to see that Lyra was standing behind them, with a frown on her face that was targeted at the bully, Kelvin held up his hands and then sent a stupid smirk at Rex.
"I better run away now before your girlfriend tries to throw hands..."
and then he dashed off before Rex could even say anything to reply, after he left Rex just sighed and started walking towards the library so that he could begin studying, the exam was not that close yet but he needed to make sure that he got the best Mark because he did not have 100 gold bars and he definitely wasn't leaving the university either something else that wasn't leaving was the girl Lyra.
She kept following him by his side as if she was a familiar, constantly asking him questions like how he was or how his meeting with the professor went. It seemed like Rex could not even blow his nose without it becoming the entire gossip of the university didn't they have anything better to do?
Finally, Rex stood in front of the door of the huge library, Jared magical university had some of the rarest books of magic in existence and kept them safe for the use of her students, which was why it was not strange to find researchers there, wizards who were probably digging into lore or something like that.
The library was so broad that was why Rex was so surprised when he had not found anything about his condition there. The voice had not spoken to him since then and he had not talked about it with anybody, not even the professors, because he did not want anybody else to think that he was crazy.
"Are you going to start reading now? I can join you it will make the process faster"
she offered as he was opening the doors of the library and then I closed it back looking at her with exhaustion in his eyes.
"Why exactly are you being so nice to me now? why don't you just keep ignoring me like how you have been doing before?"
The girl looked at him, unable to say anything for a few moments before she mumbled.
"I'm sorry I should have spoken up sooner... but all my friends were discouraging me and telling me that I would end up being hated by the whole school if I did that..."
after she said that Rex sighed again.
"well you should probably listen to your friends hanging out with me is not going to give you anything and you will just regret it in the long ru-"
"No!"
she suddenly said, shaking her head.
"I've been trying to hold myself back all this time and the truth is that I don't care if the entire school hates me as long as I don't end up hating myself..."
Rex saw the determination in her eyes and knew that she was not going to give up and so finally he held the door of the library open.
"All right then but don't say I did not warn you because I definitely did..."
she beamed a wild smile following him in then he turned and said to her.
"There's something that I want to tell you, just remember we are not friends, we're just studying together."

As soon as both of them walk into the library together eyes were already being targeted at them and Rex casually looked at Lyra to see her reaction to all of this she was just walking beside him as if she did not notice the people that were staring at them and even whispering too.He could already guess what they were thinking, what was the most popular girl in the entire University doing with the biggest loser. She decided that she was going to leave eventually the moment she saw her people were going to be treating her differently so he did not have to worry himself too much about lecturing her."I've noticed you are coming often to the library these days... rather than the training hall..."she said to him as he was casually relaxing in his seat, initially, he wanted to ask how she knew his daily routine but then he waved it off and just decided to focus on studying there was no way he could get 100 gold bars so he had to pass this exam."Rex it seems that you are a very quiet pers

The professor was surprised to see Lyra sitting next to work, but he did not make any comments about it and just went home with the important announcement that he had come to tell them in the first place. "The exams have been adjusted by the higher council of wizards that run this University which I am also a member of I must note..." Rex began to feel his breathing becoming regular but he maintained a straight face because you could sense that the girl sitting next to him was staring at him intensely as if she was trying to shoot a hole through his head then his eyes remained on the professor as the man said that the decision to adjust the exams had gone through a lot of thorough examination and had been seen as the best decision. "There is going to be a group section of the exam, so if you do well in your other classes but then you fail in the group work it is seen as an overall failure..." As soon as the professor said this the entire hall was taken over by every morning as the

After both he and the girl collided with each other Rex saw stars for a few seconds before his bearings finally came back to him and then he got up he saw that the girl was still struggling to get up as well and so he held his hand with an apology."Sorry, I didn't see you there..."Immediately his hand was slapped away after you made that comment and she glared at him with eyes burning like freshly lit flames."What do you mean you can't see me? Am I some kind of mushroom that is so tiny that it is impossible for you to see me?"After she made that comment he took a closer look at her physique and you tried not to laugh when how small she was someone would have easily confused her for a child that was crossing 15 or 14 but if she was in the university she was bound to be older than that as there was a certain age restriction for entrance into the magical University."I didn't mean it like tha-""Rex doesn't mind her, that's just how she is and I could clearly see that she was the one

As Rex walked into the dorm he could feel that somebody was following him but he pretended not to notice and kept walking towards his room it became more and more of yours and it was hard to avoid. This disturbing stalker kept following him until he finally stopped and turned.He was not surprised to see that it was his bully Kelvin that had been following him all along, and he sighed."Look whatever you have to say, can it wait till tomorrow? I need to recharge my energy right now..."As always the bully had an entourage following him, Rex could not remember a single time that he had ever seen the boy in front of him alone even when he was in the washroom he would still have somebody following him like a lost familiar."You seem to be getting cocker and cocker every day, anyways I don't have much to say. I just want to wish you good luck on your duel tomorrow."The bully said with a snicker as he looked at his friends."But I guess that you don't need any luck when you have your girl

The next morning Rex woke up with the duel in his mind he knew that there was no way he could lose, for one that will make him a bigger joke in the school when he was still trying to get up his image, and also he would have to apologize to that rude small girl that had a tongue that was a sharp as a dagger. But he was still curious why Lyra didn't want that girl in their team well there was only one way to find out and that was to ask her again today, but as he was arranging his bed he hoped that it was something that could be overlooked because he was still struggling to even find a fourth member of their group and the deadline was getting closer by the day. When he was done arranging his bed he looked at his roommates and the other boy seemed as if he was going to jump out of his skin. "What do you want now?" Even though his tone was still not friendly Rex could sense that his voice was trembling as he spoke to him. "Well I realize that you changed the lock yesterday, someth

None of the students was actually focused on the class that was going on even though they were supposed to be because their exams were coming up and they were very close. Instead, all of them were placing their bets on who would lose and who would win the duel that was going to happen after classes. Of course, as it was going to be held in the university training hall, they would first have to gain the permission of a professor who would also observe the duel so that it would not go too far and there would be no cheating or serious injuries out of it. The professor that they got permission from was called Prof Gregor who taught magical history and culture, he was usually easygoing but could draw the line when his students were coming unruly.Before the duel began Rex had asked Lyra if she had any information about his opponent and then she told him, as they were walking along the hallways towards the training hall after classes that the girl was mostly a wind enchantment user even

The time limit for the deal was about to end and if that happened without either of them taking the other down then it would be a draw. Both of them were waiting right now and especially Miranda was looking very exhausted from the fight that had already gone past an hour she was throwing everything she had in each attack and that was why she was getting more fatigued. Initially, he was waiting for her to drain herself so that he could easily subdue her and then he would easily win the fight however she was not allowing him to get close to her and she was becoming more aggressive by the moment as adrenaline was pumping through her body. "don't you think you are taking this a little too far?'' he asked her, concerning his voice and then she looked like him and scoffed. "You must seriously be joking right now, just admit it you know I'm going to win that's why you want me to give up." As she was saying this habit was ragged, and he could see that she was only moments away from col

Rex had resigned to having to take her down with force when he noticed that there was something weird with how she was absorbing and dispelling energy to make her enchantments, her fingers began to twitch and tremble which was a sign that she was obviously overworking herself. After he noticed that; he decided to give up the duel, she wasn't going to be much use in his team if she hurt herself and ended up staying on bed rest throughout the exam. That would defeat the point of having her on the team. "Miranda, why don't we just stop this, you win, okay?" He said waving his hand at her and the response that he got immediately was her sending another blade-sharp wind enchantment his way."you must be a really stupid fireball freak, you think that you can run away from this I'm going to pound you to the ground and then you will respect me! everyone in this university will give respect me!" Rex raised his eyebrows."That's not why I'm raising a white flag," he said as he adjusted his

Then she began to sob and then Lyra placed a comforting hand on her shoulder even though she felt like crying herself Rex could not be here to see his friends like this all know that one of them was gone so he turned to the Head wizard and asked if there was any way he could give them Crystal's location.

All these things that they her she swallowed like a sponge and I've solved it into her life so before she would even make an attempt at learning anything the first thing that would come to her mind was; failure.

"Thank you," she said, not even slightly higher than a whisper before she carefully shipped it as if she was testing it for poison, then she placed it on her lap and became as still as a statue once again before she had been given the cup of water.She has been acting like this ever since she heard the news."It doesn't make any sense …" she finally managed to say after some more seconds of silence as if she had been thinking deeply about what next to say and that was all she could come up with as she robbed t

"Have you eaten today?" Those were the first words that she ever said to him and the first time they had ever been that close he used to see her before in places around campus surrounded by a couple of friends. Sometimes they were more, sometimes to be less but each time she spent on them like there was no tomorrow.The questions that came from her lips were so peculiar, that he had to lift his head and look her up in the eyes when normally he would have just kept his eyes planted on his book without even sparing high class since he was just that unenthusiastic about people."I'm sorry what?"She placed her hands on her hips and repeated her question as if there was nothing out of place for one stranger to ask another if they had eaten."I don't see how that's your business"Crystal never got the chance to complete that blunt sentence before his stomach growled loudly in the lecture Hall but luckily for him most

Crystal paused for a few breaths as he was climbing up the stairs that would later lead to the hallway that would further lead into the head wizard's office. "What kind of trouble has that girl gotten into now?" He mumbled under his breath as he kept walking faster and faster even though his body was really against it he remembered the words of the healer wizard that had treated him. "You have a very weak constituency …" the healer wizard, who was even blunter than he deadpanned, the healer wizards were known as the most unsympathetic type which was kind of ironic because their job was mostly treating others that had been injured. But then again it fits perfectly for the job because they are passiveness to many emotions such as empathy made it easier for them to function in their job without constantly breaking down or worrying much, however, this was still an ethic of their work that made people very reluctant to go towards them because of how emotionless they were.

Two days flew by in the blink of an eye the only thing that made me feel drugged was the fact that Miranda and Crystal had not settled their issues rather they are the most even sat down to table the fact that they had issues at all and so the chances of them even having to talk about not settling the issues had not even come yet. In the meantime, crystal seem to be isolating himself from the entire group altogether and then there was Miranda trying to love-bomb them from the way things appeared, she would buy them all sorts of lavish gifts as if she was trying to burn out her entire allowance before the session would even end and most of the time they had to return the gifts or at least try to. Her response to this was to squint her eyes cross her hands and then glare at them as if she was waiting for the fire to burst out of those eyes."Where are both of you being so fussy it's just a couple of gifts, the polite thing would be to accept them and just say thank you."

A clash between Miranda and Crystal was not something that the group had ever really expected to happen, even though Crystal was naturally blunt to everyone including Miranda, there was a special kind of patience that you have for all the members of his team, especially Miranda. He will take care of her as if she was her arranged guardian or something like that, no matter how much she seem to have done something that would have normally irked him, but it appeared as if he had been holding back a lot of feelings for a long time and does bottle of feelings are finally exploded in the outburst that happened in the healer's building.Miranda on her own part was expecting him to have an abyss full of patience for her and when he didn't meet that expectation she also flared up as well.Honestly, they both said hurtful things to each other but the only issue now is who was going to put his or her pride away first to apologize and save the friendship.
