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
That bully Kelvin had gotten some students to trick them, by making each of them believe that everyone else had been captured and they needed to be rescued at the university pool as they were feeling stupid for falling for such a trick. "Well I'm not saying either Miranda or Crystal so maybe they went ahead ..." was not done speaking when the same two people that she had mentioned walked into the pool as well looking at them, and hoping that was in our hearts immediately sunk how could all of them have fallen for the same trick so easily. "Rex you're right we should have just stayed together," Miranda finally admitted was nobody else in the group was brave enough to say, he shook his head brushing his face with his arm as he took a deep breath, there was no point in playing the blame game the bully had been able to one-up them because of that but pointing fingers didn't help the situation. "guys there's no time to waste anyway let's start heading to the whispering tree ..." They a
Many eyes were leaving their question papers, and then nobody stood up from their seats to defy the teacher anyways all that was until it finally stood up and walked over to the professor with a serious expression on her face. but as we saw her coming from behind immediately signalled her with his eyes for her to stand back so that he would be able to handle the situation she looked at him her eyes filling up with worry but then he shook his head and reluctantly she went back to her seat. "ma can you prove that I cheated? if you can't then please let me write my exam in peace?" She was looking at him as if he had once grown out of his head as soon as he said that and like she was trying to resist the urge to clean her ears to make sure that what she actually heard was correct and she was not imagining things. "Are you implying that I am lying against you?" He didn't say anything for a moment and just looked at her from her head to her too and then he replied to her disdainful g
Lyra was trying to listen in on their conversation as they were speaking but she was not able to do so because it was too far away from her seat and they were standing so close to each other as they were speaking, but then without no, the professor then suddenly said very loudly for him to follow the head wizard. Rex glanced in her direction again then he gave her that look that told her that he had the situation under control but that didn't seem to tell her she scraped her feet against the floor and she gritted her teeth but she did not get up from her seat. She gripped her pen frustrated at her own helplessness in helping her friend how did things come down to this, he followed the head wizard outside of the class and the professor remained in the class to supervise the rest of them that were also still having their exam and what made Lyra more frustrated was the fact that some students were openly cheating but she overlooked it and she could easily recognise that the students we
Rex and his Friends woke up to an unexpected surprise one day, Crystal had disappeared when they went to Miranda's uncle to report he said that Crystal had willfully dropped out of school."Without telling us?'Miranda had all but cried out, the rest of the team was also gripped with a shock that he would just get up and leave."This is just what I hate about him, the jerk is always scared of being a burden … that's probably why he ran away!" 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. He looked pensive about this for a moment for when he saw how dismayed his niece was he finally gave them the information that they were looking for and even prepared a carriage for them along with a letter that would permit them to miss class
"Pathetic, and you call yourself a noble!" This was something that Miranda had gotten used to being told every single day of her life from the moment that she had been born that she was a failure that would one day disgrace the family and she was pathetic. 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. She tried to hide it by talking loud and acting as if it didn't affect her even though she would immediately talk about how she was sure somebody was looking down on her. On the night before her departure to the magical Jerard University, her father called her into his study and then he briefed her on a lot of things one particularly stood out."I'm taking you to a Uni, where even someone as pathetic and useless as yourself cannot fail…high scores are practically dished out to nobles, the only thing that you have to do
Lyra awkwardly held a cup of water towards her friend Miranda look at it for five straight seconds and see if she had all the secret of magic sunk in the water she was trying to dig it out with her eyes it was when Lyra a little bit to grab her attention that she's slightly tilted or her eyes and then it fell back to the water before her and finally carried themselves up and reached for the cup. "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
"When are you finally going to tell us?"A lot of other things happened and now night time had come Crystal's roommates had not returned back and so they had a lot of privacy to talk in his room when workers are going to see him that night he had been resting on his bed with his eyes planted on the roof as if he was reading a note that had been waiting for him there, but then when he heard the knocking it was concentrating not even answering at all before he finally stood up and did so.On the other side story his friend with a worried expression that was masked with a smile as he walked in and then they talked about other things as if Crystal had not mentioned that really dire one in the head wizard's office.He thought he will be able to pretend for a long but eventually, he could no longer pretend anymore that something like this was not going to happen and so he spoke asking Crystal if he was ever going to tell them."At first
Laura felt herself being abruptly woken up from her slumber by her friend and then without being told she could so that there was pandemonium in the air and instinctively stood up and followed him as they both rushed into the head results of his to see what was going on that was causing such a pandemonium.I went they worked in it was as clear as day even though they wished that it wasn't, the chair with the head wizard normally sat was scattered all over the ground as if it had been disassembled to be arranged again, the head wizard himself is panting frantically and then he turned to see Lyra and Rex."Miranda stop your friends are in the office now,""Then they should step out …" she replied without looking back."You always do this to me, you are always picking on me for no good reason because the truth is that you blame me …"Lyra and Rex were looking at each other with shock and confusion thickly pa
"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. "I already k
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." It would h
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. But it didn't look like it was going to
