At the very back of Classroom A1.
Kyle sat hunched over, chewing his nails nervously. His foot tapped restlessly under the desk.
To his left, Reo looked no better. His forehead was shiny with sweat and he kept muttering things under his breath.
To Kyle's right. Luna sat with her arms crossed and a wide grin on her face. Her eyes sparkled with amusement as she watched both boys suffer.
"Oh, come on," she whispered. "You two look like you are about to face some scary monster."
Kyle didn't answer. His eyes were locked on the front of the classroom.
Where Instructor Veldrin was slowly handing out the graded answer sheets from the Mana Calculus quiz. That quiz had been a nightmare.

More than the quiz. It was the consequences he feared.
If he failed, not only would he have to sit through Veldrin's dull extra classes. But he would also have to listen to Aurelia's nagging.
