Chapter 12

My lovely personal assistant didn’t give us much time. She started shouting from the living room. The little creature wouldn’t risk entering the bedroom. One spell could turn her into a stone or a frog. For me my room was spellbound, but Lotian was exempt from that rule.

​“It’s time for your class!”

​I had only three classes today. All in the afternoon.

​“You don’t need to go,” Lotian murmured. We both knew the truth. The moss-headed asshole wouldn’t let me off the hook. There had been an attempt on my life and he didn’t give a damn. “Any points that are taken off, can be reinstated with a few tricks.”

​Oh really?! I perked up. Not that I was too much into the shortcuts, but useful knowledge was handy. And there was something else I had planned to speak about with Lotian.

​“I hope you’re going to teach me these tricks. Plus. I need you to borrow a few books for me. I’m fed up with learning basics. Haruka runs low on ideas. I’m already so far in his class.” I decided against asking Vesalius and Oceania.

​Lotian sat down on the edge of the bed. It groaned under him but didn’t fall apart like the last one.

​“I’m an idiot, Flare! I should think of it right after the fight with Rosa and Elleria. I am going to teach you magic and other stuff…”

​“Theorem of Magical Laws.”

​“Yes. The other stuff. You see, I don’t want it to sound bad, but I have my own side-faction. There are some truly loyal people there, maybe a little fanatical at times, but they will love you. Another thing we can do is combat training. It had used to start in the first year, but after the Saaron-Dramer incident, they changed it.

​“Flare!”

​Rebecca was a relentless creature.

​His offer sounded so good.

​“But isn’t this against the Academy’s rules? Not that I care much about them.”

​Demi-dragon stood up, his wide back to me. “There are some rules, but they mostly apply to complex and dangerous spells and runes. Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”

​“Flare! Five minutes till the class!”

​“Can you tell me about those tricks of yours? I don’t feel like going to the classes today?”

​“Sure. The thing here is. The academy like the rest of the world uses runes and complex spells to automate everything. I’m not sure if you’re aware that this mimics the pre-Titan War computer coding. However, magic is way more efficient. If you understand how the system works, then you can easily find loopholes…” Lotian turned toward me, his hands making strange gestures in front of him. As he continued, the air above the bed stirred and seconds later the first runes came to life. Their meaning escaped me. Lotian didn’t stop until the three feet long sequence of bright yellow runes hung in the air. Each rune was of the size of my thumb.

​“The color, the size, the placement, the order, et cetera, it all matters. This here will tell the magical scanners in your bedroom that you fell ill, nothing life-threatening.
