Chapter 1-2
294 Words
When I arrived at the Main Hall of the Magical Academy, I looked around. The Academy had freed me from practical lessons, because of the healers' total ban on magic use. And, since I only had theory classes on Mondays and Fridays, I could avoid Martinus for most of the week.
Martinus Novak, who seemed to enjoy making fun of me when I first joined the Academy, had saved me. When my crazy father came to the library in ghost form, Martinus beat him up, getting injured in the process. I was grateful, and I'd thanked him while I was laying in the hospital. But he'd been behaving weirdly since then, and I was doing my best to avoid him. I'd slipped out of class on Friday, but I wasn't so sure I'd be able to run away today. Yllana, my best friend, had helped me on Friday, but warned me that Martinus was planning something for today.
The Main Hall was empty. I checked my vizor; it was early Monday morning. Six a.m. in the morning. It surprised me that Emere had been awake so early, but then she'd mentioned she didn't sleep much with her baby.
I'd been confused about the time zones, but now that I was at the same time zone as the Academy, life would hopefully become simpler. Or so I hoped. If I managed whatever complications Martinus brought into my life.
I would hide in the library until class started. Hopefully, if I came exactly on time, Martinus wouldn't be able to do anything in the Professor's presence. As for the period between classes… He wouldn't do anything in front of all our classmates, right?
Or so I thought, in my naivete, as I headed to the library to prepare for today's classes.
