บท 22: Class
Leaning against the wall, near the door, Izzy waited for Ruben. He and Mr Fan had been inside for over an hour and Izzy had asked Theonymphi if he could see what was going on inside.
" No can do. There's a high-level sound blocking spell as well as a detection spell surrounding this place."
" So you can't do it," she said.
Theonymphi scoffed as if offended " It's not that I can't. It's just that I'd be detected."
" Hmmm," Izzy said and then the door swung open.
Mr Fan's voice was the first thing she heard.
" Thank you, sir," he said sounding overly respectful.
Izzy saw Ruben step out and then the door close. She walked up to him.
" What happened?" she asked. He was quiet and then spoke.
"I-I was offered a j-job" he sounded like he was in disbelief.
Izzy jumped up and hugged his arm.
" That's amazing!"
He looked down at he beaming face and smiled in response. Her happiness for him was contagious and Ruben's smile almost made Izzy's eyes expand.
It looked like serene and beautiful and Izzy almost wanted to ask him to stop smiling. In an attempt to save her poor heart.
" I was also able to negotiate you being able to study here", Izzy looked up at Ruben.
" Study?"
He nodded," I said that on condition of me representing the academy. You should also be allowed to study here."
Izzy coughed, she had not thought about joining this academy. Her only goal was to survive and find a way back. She knew that becoming powerful was the way to getting closer to going back home but had to admit she needed more resources.
" Do they teach space magic?" she asked. Ruben tilted his head in confusion.
" Like magic that allows you to travel between worlds."
Mr Fan came up behind Ruben and then saw Izzy standing beside him. His look was akin to looking at an annoying fly and it did not pass Izzy by. She frowned at the man.
" Ruben I will show you to the teacher's dorms" he motioned to lead Ruben away but Izzy grabbed his arm.
" Excuse me, Mr Fan-"
" It's Professor Fan to you." Izzy was taken aback by his response.
He cleared his throat and put on a fake smile.
" Now that you are a student, you should address me as Professor Fan. I have notified one of our staff to lead you along to the student dorms. You will be briefed on the way. You don't mind me stealing your brother now do you. He needs to familiarise himself with the teaching curriculum before classes start. "
Izzy shook her head and sighed. Ruben looked at her as if to ask if she was okay with this to which she nodded.
Professor Fan put his hand on Ruben's back and lead him away. Izzy was livid with this old man's behaviour, she could tell that he looked down on her but was pretending to be nice. Simply because Ruben was her 'brother'.
As Professor Fan had said a lady soon arrived to lead Izzy to the student dorms. They were situated away from the main building, through another garden and on the east side.
The woman known as Dem explained to Izzy that classes ran three days a week, with the other three days being training days. Izzy learned that students needed to report to class at what was around nine in the morning to begin classes. Most classes ended early and student usually went on training or took on odd jobs.
" You are a special case student and a late notice at that. So you have been placed in class E as that was the only class available to accommodate you."
The woman led Izzy into the dorm and down the left side on the ground floor.
They walked down the hall and through a small door to the far end. This area seemed overly dark and almost isolated.
' This place feels weird.' Theonymphi commented.
Izzy felt that this floor of the dorm was quiet she hadn't seen anyone around but assumed that everyone was just in class.
Dem opened the door and said, " Your essentials have already been delivered".
She then handed Izzy the key and swiftly left. Izzy watched her walk brusquely away.
Izzy felt that her behaviour was weird and walked into the compact dorm room. It was furnished with only a bed and a table with a chair. Izzy saw a roll of bed covers on the bed and what seemed like a uniform.
She was surprised at how quickly her stuff had been delivered and sat down on the bed feeling slightly overwhelmed.
