[Are you really sure, master?] Mune stressed, pinching his cheeks to get a favorable response.
Cross popping veins appeared on his forehead. He was serious about what he had said and meant it. He would not let anyone, nor anyone's feelings bother him. He would remain unaffected no matter what, and would not let anyone go through anything like he had.
There was no time to waste his efforts on someone who might die because of him. He could tell Mune was just genuinely concerned about him, there was no reason to get overly angry because of the question.
Exhaling, he could feel his body relax and his thoughts elevated from the anger he once had.
"I would take no chances." He vaguely said, turning his attention back to his painting.
Mune furrowed her brows, not understanding what that word meant, but decided to keep shut for the time being.
It was pointless asking him what that meant. Instead she decided to go with a different approach, one she knew would work. She had done well so far, he didn't seem to give off the vibe of being angry or sad anymore.
[Classes should be over soon] She reminded him.
"It's a good thing I was given a week's sick leave, or I might have been doing it at the library instead." He said, chuckling. He was happy for the fact that he was given the time off because he was able to complete his current task.
–––––––––––
In magic class, Gia had been observing her teacher closely. He looked to be in a good mood; he had a relaxed face and his hands were clasped behind his back.
He was wearing a black coat which is patterned with four golden buttons on either side with a distinctive white streak running through the side to the front, with a white shirt, and a simple dark blue pants with it's end tucked underneath low-heeled, knee-hight white boots. He had a pair of glasses, which he had taken off when class started.
"Gia, do you mind showing the rest of us the spell you have been practicing?" The teacher turned and looked at Gia, who had her head bowed down. She was visibly nervous, but also excited.
As she lifted her head, she was greeted with a huge smile, which spread to the rest of the students. The teacher had a look of approval, "Gia, you show them. It's fine to feel nervous, don't worry." He said to her encouragingly.
At that, she began to recite the chants, her hands moving quickly to the objects she needed. He stood by her side, allowing her to do all the work. She was using her imagination and creating the spell on her own.
Opening her eyes, she looked at the class. The silence was deafening, she could feel her palms start to sweat. This was the moment of truth.
"That's it." She said after making the last symbol and finishing the chant.
Everyone in the class was very quiet, they knew how powerful the spell was. If done properly, she would have the ability to make an object disappear, to be invisible. She could do all this without a single physical object.
The only way to test this spell was to use a real object. She could have used a candle, but that would be too easy.
She thought about how she would test it, and the teacher's glasses on the desk came into her mind. She went on to say, "I think it would be easiest to test it on your glasses and see if it disappears, Mr Gaviel." She could feel her excitement grow with each second that passed.
The other classes looked on, nervous and excited at the same time.
"Be my guest." The teacher consented, "All right then." Gia went to the desk, picked up his glasses and raised her hands as a purple glow engulfed the glasses.
They flickered with a brilliant blue light. The light had completely disappeared in a matter of seconds.
The rest of the class was so shocked that they could say nothing. Gia, on the other hand, was so excited and relieved that she had succeeded.
Mr Gaviel, too, seemed relieved, but looked proud of his student, even though he could only vaguely see what she had done as he suffered from longsightedness.
He made another gesture of approval. "Well done Gia. I knew you could do it." He said, "You've passed the test. You can try a more powerful spell next time."
"But could you bring back my glasses?" He nervously chuckled, he wouldn't want to be in an awkward situation where he would need them but couldn't get them.
"I can try." Gia replied, her confidence now at an all time high.
Mr Gaviel, however, was still surprised at how easily his glasses had vanished. He had only wished to test Gia's ability to perform a spell, but it had exceeded his expectations. It was her first time, and he was more than impressed. He felt that she was ready to advance.
"Here you go." She said, handing him his glasses.
"I see a bright future ahead of you and several others who have made exceptional progress." He put his glasses back on.
"Thank you, Gia. I hope to see you all at the graduation ceremony a few months from now." He said.
"That's it for today, any questions could be directed to Gia. I'm sure she would love to discuss it with you all." He smiled, taking his spell books from the desk and walked out of the classroom.
In a matter of seconds, she was swarmed by her mates.
"How does it feel to be the one who had summoned the fire rank student to Zoar and also get the recognition of our teacher?" A female squealed, her brunette bangs disheveled at her movement.
The others nodded their heads in agreement to the question.
'Didn't Mr Gaviel say they could ask me any question based on what I had done today?' Her brows twitched in frustration.
"Uhhh..." Gia thought on how she could possibly answer the question without giving out the wrong information about her relationship with Nix.
