I barely tasted breakfast, and my first lesson in Time Travel Law passed without me making a single note. To be honest, I wasn’t really interested in this, especially after the teacher had actually said in last week’s lesson that common sense and morals prevailed in most cases. But still... I had planned to be a good student to get the grades I needed. It was hopeless though. My head was full of the Archivist, his ashen eyes, the impossible mission he’d given me.

Instead of listening to my teacher drone on about medieval law and punishments – basically, whatever you did was punishable by death – I made a plan of how to solve the mystery of the stolen ring. My first task was going to be talking to Hjalmar. While I knew there were other Viking experts and teachers, he was the only one I’d had a proper conversation with.

I rubbed the palms of my hands with my thumbs, remembering his gentle touch. A blush heated my cheeks. I shouldn’t savour this memory. It was wrong, so wrong. I should stay away from Hjalmar before this strange attraction got me in trouble – but that was impossible. He was my teacher, I was going to see him at least three times a week in lessons.

Maybe I should just go to him and ask him outright about the ring. I doubted he could have been the thief, and he might have some leads for me. He knew the other TTA Viking agents.

But did I really know him well enough to discard him as the thief? He had a clear distaste for rules, that much was clear after attending his lessons. He refused to stick to the curriculum, instead deciding to teach what he thought was most important to keep us alive during missions. I didn’t have a problem with that in the slightest. Staying alive sounded like a good idea.

“Lainie, what do you think of the Iron Maiden as a punishment?”

Miss Long’s voice almost made me jump.

“Ehm... terribly inhumane?” I stuttered, just about remembering the strange metal sarcophagus I’d seen in a museum, where poor buggers would be gruesomely stabbed to death.

“Since you’re obviously too busy to listen to my lesson, I want you to write a two-thousand-word essay about how the Iron Maiden was a Victorian invention. By tomorrow.”

I groaned internally. As if I didn’t have enough to do already. It had only taken a week for me to get extra assignments. Damn it. I should never have agreed to help the Archivist. It wasn’t going to be good for my studies.

Luckily, the bell rang before Miss Long could humiliate me any further. I fled the classroom, walking to Hjalmar’s office as fast as I could. We had five-minute breaks in between lessons, so hopefully, he’d still be in his office. He was late for lessons quite frequently.

“Hjalmar!” I shouted when I saw him step out of his office. I ran to him, ignoring the curious stares both students and teachers gave me.
