A low rumble echoed through the sky.
["An earthquake?" glancing up.]
A second later, the heaven split open, releasing a torrential downpour. The rhythmic patter of magic against the pavement drowned out the distant murmurs of students hurrying to class.
["No, it's rain."]
[The mightiest student mage in the whole world…]
[If I ever cross his path, I'll bring that brat to the ground, i mean it.]
"Yo, Theo! What's up?"
[The voice was unmistakable.]
[It's danny, he jogged up beside me, grinning. My self-proclaimed friend. Unlike the others, he isn't afraid of me. Weird!]
"Did you finish the assignment?"
"Does it look like i didn't?"
Danny chuckled. "Yeah, dumb question. You probably finished it before the teacher even gave it out."
Theo smirked. "Not quite. I waited until they assigned it. Gave it five minutes of my time. That was enough."
Danny eyes widened. "Five minutes?"
"Three, if I wasn't being lazy."
Danny shook his head, laughing. "Man, it's insane how unfairly smart you are. I swear, you could sleep through this entire academy year and still get top scores."
Theo shrugged. "Maybe. But that would be boring."
"Right, of course. Gotta keep things entertaining for the genius."
They turned a corner, the classroom building coming into view. The halls were already packed, students weaving between each other, voices blending into a low hum.
"You know, if I had your brain, I'd be relaxing 24/7."
"And that's why you don't have it."
"Ouch. Right in the pride."He clutched his chest dramatically
They stepped inside, the chill of the building contrasting the warmth outside. Theo took his seat, his mind already drifting past this morning's trivialities.
As danny tired to sit beside him
"Go to your seat"
"Ahh come one just for today"
"It's not my seat ask karin"
"If she agrees i can sit hear then right?"
Danny sprint towards the hall slipping through students like a snake in the search of her.
"Now where are you... there you are, Kaaaarin!"
Danny skidded to a stop in front of Karin, nearly knocking over a student in his enthusiasm.
"Huh?" Karin in shock and onfusion.
"Can I take your seat just for today? Please, please?" Danny clasped his hands together, putting on his best pleading face.
Karin tilted her head, considering. She wasn't one to care much about seating arrangements—she usually sat near the window, lost in her own thoughts.
"Okay, I guess?"she said, shrugging.
"Thaaaak you! You're the best, Karin!"
Danny pumped his fist in the air before darting back toward Theo's classroom, leaving Karin to gather her things at a far more leisurely pace.
I watched as Danny barreled back into the room, triumphant.
"Victory!"he declared, sliding into Karin's seat beside me with a grin. "She said yes. No take-backs."
"You're insufferable."sighed
"And yet, here you are, suffering me." He leaned back, propping his feet up on the desk.
Danny had just kicked his feet up on the desk when the classroom door swung open with a cheerful *click*.
A young man, brunette hair, brown eyes. strolled in, humming a tune under his breath.
"Morning, everyone!" he said, dropping a worn leather satchel onto the desk. "Hope you're all having a fantastic day. Mine's been great—just saw a squirrel outside solve a puzzle I left out for it. Clever little guy."
The class blinked.
Theo stared.
Danny slowly lowered his feet back to the floor.
The man chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. "Ah, right. Introductions. I'm Professor Veyg. Your new teacher.
Students in shock on how can a person equal to their age can be a professor.
Theo felt something off about the professor.
"What happened to professor malina?" Students spoke up.
"Nothing she is just taking a vacation and i am here just to fill the absence of her"
Students seem disappointed. Sudden change you guess.
"Well that aside i am your teacher for now"
"Everyone follow me"
Students confused but followed his instructions as they followed they started to realise that they were going in the direction of physical sector making them even more confused.
"Umm excuse us sir but why are we going in physical training sector?" A student asked spoke up.
"Just follow me and you will understand"
Professor says
"By the way professor how old are you?"
The tudent asked out of curiosity.
"Humm let's see 1.2.3"
"Eaa you don't remember you own age"
"4.5.6 well i guess i don't really care about how old am i 7.8.9.10"
"You can stop counting!"
"Ohh! i remember 19"
?.
??..
???...
Haaaaaauuuuuuuh???????????????????
"That's pretty much our age"
"How did you became a professors at such age?"
"Well just a lot of hardwork and talent i guess"
"Looks like theo finally got some competition"
[A 19 year old professor this is going to be interesting]
After some minutes of walk students reached infront of the barrier of physical sector.
"Physical sector huh we are not just run around lifting heavy stuff right?"
"Well it depends on you guys"
"?"
"You their give me your CODEX"
CODEX
Its a teleportation device in a form of badge that lets students and professors travel into different sectors of the academy.
"Huh? You don't have your own?"
"The academy was not expecting someone to apply and pass the requirements to be the professors for theoretical stuff so they didn't have extras made"
"Couldn't they just give you professor malina CODEX to use Temporarily?"
"Unfortunately professor malina took her CODEX with her so..."
"Here!!"
"Thank you"
As the student entered passed the barrier.
They were meet with bunch of eye from students of that sector.
"Huh? Isn't that the theoretical group what are they doing?"
"Theoretical group?"
"Hey look it's the new professor"
"He looks young"
"They say he is only around 18 years old"
"18? That basically a student"
Students little embarrassed form all glare.
"What are we doing here professor?"
The professor kept walking
After couple more minutes of walk they reach a part of training ground.
"Forest? You are not gonna make us fight some beast are you?"
"No instead you guys will be fighting among yourrrrrseeelvvess"
"Fighting among ourselves?"
"You heard it right its a game of tag. The rule is simple you use nature resources to do everything. You build your own mark, traps, team... To sum it up the game is gonna last 5 hour and in those 5 hour you have to apply your mark on as much people as you can. At the end of game you all come out and then i will count how much marks you managed to spread and the one who marked the most people wins."
"That's it the game starts now!!!"
