The Devil WithInn 107 First Day Of Classes 1

I hate magic.

I hate this world.

I want to go back.

Inna groaned in annoyance as she laid her forehead on top of the cool surface of her wooden desk.

It's been just a few hours since her cla.s.ses started but she already felt like skipping cla.s.ses for the rest of the day.

But sadly, she can't because of a certain someone.

Remembering yesterday, she groaned again.

She so badly wanted to sleep to kill time but she can't because she already slept for about twelve hours last night. In fact, she planned to sleep more but Ulima shook her awake when it was four in the morning. Then he rudely shoved her blue robe and cla.s.s pin unto her lap before running away quickly.

Because of the rude awakening, Inna became cranky the whole morning. She always hated being woken up abruptly because it affects her mood the rest of the day.

Someone must have told Ulima, judging from the way he ran away immediately.

And since she was already fully rested, she had trouble sleeping again. So, she had no choice but to prepare slowly for her cla.s.ses on four in the morning. But not before cursing and grumbling about it for almost an hour.

Suddenly, a bell sound interrupted her thoughts as it echoed throughout the room. The teacher in the front of the room stopped his sentence mid-way as he sighed.

"That's all for today. For the Anemone cla.s.s, please read chapters 2 and 3, it'll be about the origins of enhancement magic. For the Belladonna cla.s.s, please read chapters 4 and 5, it will be about the essence of curse magic. And for the chamomile, their chapters would be 6 and 7. Those would be about discoveries on the advancement of healing magic. We will be tackling those topics next meeting. Cla.s.s diss—"

The teacher was about to dismiss the whole cla.s.s but when he locked eyes with a student at the far back end of the room, he sighed in dismay.

"For the Lily cla.s.s, please review chapters 1, 2, 4, 6, and write a detailed understanding of what you have read. The writings should fill up two papers at the very least. I expect it on my desk tomorrow as soon as cla.s.s begins. Cla.s.s dismissed."

The students all stood up in unison as they excitedly went to leave the room. But, before leaving, they all shot disgusted and mocking glances at Inna as they walked.

Inna ignored their actions as she fished out from her spatial pouch the note and schedule Solomon gave her.

"This will be your schedule starting now. They will all be basic and general subjects. Supposedly, the student from the lowest cla.s.ses (Anemone, Belladonna, and Chamomile) will take on one of these subjects once a week. It will deeply depend on their individual schedules. So, you might mix with some of them in the cla.s.s. Also, if it wasn't already obvious enough, all schedules in Eldora Academy are personalized and greatly fitted for the student's power and consideration for growth. Hence, you will be taking all general cla.s.ses until I'll be able to see which profession you'll be more talented at. When you show some signs of talent, I'll lesson your study load but if otherwise, then you'll have to stick with this schedule indefinitely."

Inna wanted to crumple the note on her hands but she controlled herself as she took out her schedule.

Inner peace…

It's just like college...

Same obnoxious people, same unreasonable professors, and same cla.s.srooms.

Feeling calm, she carefully hid the note back in her spatial pouch as she peered at her schedule.

Fundamentals of Magic – the 6th hour to the 9th hour

Essential Body Foundations for Magic – the 9th hour to the 10th hour

Magic Laws and Theories over the Centuries– the 10th hour to the 12th hour

Lunch – the 12th hour to the 13th hour

Spell Casting (Lecture) – the 13th hour to the 16th hour

Spell Casting (Practical) – the 16th hour to the 17th hour

History of the Old Eridoan Language – the 17th hour to the 18th hour

Anatomy and Physiology of Magical Beasts and Plants – the 18th hour to the 20th hour

Ugh… Just looking at it makes her tired already.

In college, she rarely had more than 3 subjects… But now… it's more than double….

And she actually had two subjects that had a full three hour lecture!

She inwardly wept as she stuffed the schedule back in place. After doing so, she looked around, only to see that all the students already left the room and the professor was already raising his eyebrow at her, urging her to leave.

Inna grumbled in annoyance as she went out. She checked the time with the spell.

"Five moments past the ninth hour."

She walked leisurely as she looked around the rooms of the ground floor of the academy. She wasn't really pressed for time despite her very sticky schedule. That's because there is a 'thirty moments past' rule that they uphold. If you arrive not on time, but not after thirty minutes as well, then technically, you're not considered late nor skipping.

So, as if trying to delay her doom, Inna walked around as she tried to familiarize herself with the way towards the room for the subject of Essential Body Foundations for Magic. When she saw its subject symbol which was a flexing muscular body with a hole in the middle of its chest, Inna knew she had the right door.

And, after waiting until it was a moment before the 'thirty moments past' rule expires, she finally pushed open the door.

But as she did, her eyes locked unto a pair of very familiar ones.
