**ADDIE'S POV**
When I had started to train with Heron, I thought he had been demanding and strenuous, but now I realized that he was a walk in the park when it came to teaching. Miss Ophelia was a slave driver of epic proportions. She was making both Nolan and I work like our lives depended on it.
"I won't be here for as long as him." She would bark the words out to us. "I have already missed a term with you two, and I don't have as much time to teach you all that I can. I need to make sure that you two get to a proficient level before this school year is over." Her voice was a little harsh as she grilled us about the information that we already knew and what we needed to learn.
For the next two hours, Miss Ophelia explained what she said was the origin of white mana, where the power seemed to come from, and what we were supposed to do with that mana.
