Rex could feel his heart pounding so much it was as if it was in his throat as he was walking and the shack opened up to him, he gathered the energy in his fingertips and then he made a small touch of fire in his hands being cautious with it as he was aware that the entire shack was made of wood and could easily catch up flames and then it did not take him long to look around before he noticed the silhouette in the darkness and brought the torch closer to it.He gasped with both relief and shock at the same time as he saw his teammate tied up with dirty rags and struggling in the corner between some boxes that were filled with dried herbs."Lyra!"He let up the flame and immediately bent down to untie her but then the knots were very tight so he looked around for something that you use to simply cut off the rag and that was when he saw a pruning shear in the corner he picked it up and then looked over to Lyra."Don't worry I'll make sure that it doesn't cut you ..."He decided to brin
The professor, a lightly bearded man that was approaching the end of his 40s was responsible for teaching about rising of the magical civilization and culture, it was like history but mostly dedicated to that magic, they expected him to give a last-minute revision as the other professors did but instead of doing that, he turned around and told all of them to rip out a piece of paper."We are going to be having a last-minute test everyone,"As soon as he said this Miranda felt as if her consciousness was being separated from her body, and sweat was immediately beginning to drip down her face as she was pulling out the piece of paper Crystal tapped her on the shoulder."Why do you look so nervous, I'm here,"he said quietly so that both Rex and Lyra would not pick up on what he was sayingBut then she looked over to him, shaking her head."Don't worry about it, I'll be able to handle this one myself," she said to him in the same low whisper he looked at her from head to toe and then jus
When the group had finally come together they started heading towards the lecture halls which were going to be filled with some students who were still studying for their exams. The written exams often accounted for 40% of the total evaluation grade while the rest was practical. Rex had not forgotten the bet that he had made with that bully all the facts that he had trapped his friend in a filthy shack and tied her up with rags, you knew that that jerk wanted to win the bet and he was probably going to try something else to make sure that they didn't do better than his own team which was why he was being more cautious with his own team. We are even taking an effort of trying to find a crystal room, a gesture that the other boy obviously did not appreciate as he reciprocated it with a deep frown and "what are you doing here?" As they were walking towards the exit of the boy's dumb he began to wonder again why crystal was in their team Miranda said that he owed her a favour but he wa
The group decided to do some studies at night since the school was not merciful to students that cheated during their exams. The punishment was instant expulsion from the magical Jared University the moment you were caught by any professor who was supervising such an exam. So due to their zero-tolerance policy towards shooting there was only one other way to make sure that Miranda didn't forget anything else that she would read for the exam and actually pass that paper, she would have to promise if there was no tomorrow. Lyra came to meet her in her room, locking gently as a signal that she was already outside and in a few moments Miranda pulled the door open and walked out to see her standing there, she looked like she was going to lose consciousness for a moment until she gives a slim figure that was standing at her doorstep another look and realized that it was actually Lyra and she let out a heavy sigh of relief. "I'm so sorry I almost screamed and woke everybody up in my roo
As the group was heading towards the library basement Rex notice that the lamp is and was beginning to flicker and then he remembered that he had forgotten to actually add oil to it since he was in such haste for the meeting, the flame danced delicately in its glass and metal prison seemingly taking its final steps. The boys sighed heavily. "Miranda it looks like we will have to rely on your own lamp later," he realized that the group had been awfully quiet as they had been working and the moment he spoke his voice broke through the silence and came out a little louder than he expected it's true since that was the first words that were spoken in so long and the reaction to it was not disappointing either Miranda looked as if she was going to jump out of her shoes the moment she heard him speak and he wondered what made her so jittery maybe she didn't just like the darkness. "I'm sorry did I startle you?" He apologized to her and she shook her head silence returned to the group aga
The first day of the exam and Rex could feel the air was definitely different, almost everyone had a serious and stern expression about them and he was no different graduating from Jared Murdoch University held great prestige and they make sure that you sweated every single drop your body had to give and share every single tear that was possible even so every exam dozens of students were still expelled. However he was still thinking about what Miranda had said in their night study, what if that system still existed now that he threw his mind back to when had researched every single excelling student that had graduated from the University they were either noble, pureblood or related somehow to them. How was he going to become the strongest wizard if he had already been destined to be placed at a lower rank because of his status? He sighed, thinking too hard about it now wasn't going to change anything, the only thing he could do was simply do his best when he goes to that bridge he
As Rex was listening to the professor he was beginning to sincerely wonder if the wizard council that was actually running the university did not want them to advance to another year well they had no choice but to just deal with it. Finally, when the professor was almost done she said. "... There is something for anyone that feels that this exam is too hard as long as any member from your registered team gets to the target position everyone in the team automatically gets a paper…" Everyone seem to lighten up at that announcement but their relief did not live long at all as soon as she added."... however, the papers are limited so that means that if your entire team is too slow you won't end up with a paper at all… get ready the exam will begin in five minutes as I announce your destination." Lyra felt someone's hand on her shoulder and she turned and saw that it was Rex that was holding her shoulder and he was also wearing the same look of worry on his face as well none of their
Rex always knew that he was hated in his university but he did not know that they despised him so much that they would risk passing their own exam just to make sure that he failed his. "Why the heck are you guys doing this?" Rex said as his eyes looked around for any way of escape from the situation then he noticed that we had begun to circle and they were now all over there circular training the ground standing at one pillar or another. From the ones you could count with his eyes he could see that they were about 5 they could have been more. "Isn't it already obvious you are a pest and nobody likes you in this entire University? If you fail this exam then you will have to leave ..." One boy with crooked teeth said, while filling the entire exam would put him behind in the class there were more things to consider before someone was expelled from the university. By the way, all of them spoke so confidently that he would be kicked out could only mean one thing."It was Kelvin that
