Chapter 16 – The Report
Ashleigh’s POV
I was happy and I talked to my older brother last Friday. What I felt when he called was pure excitement. I really thought that my older brother and I had forgotten that I was still in tears when he called but I did not want to reveal that I was crying so I shouted at him. Stheno thought I was going crazy because I was talking to myself hahaha. By the way, I have survived for two weeks here at Magica Academy.
For the past two weeks, I just got used to what Calux does every time we get together in our classes. Even so, his behavior is still annoying, especially Diasspro.
I also learned a lot of magic even though I was just a beginner. Professor Evanor is happy with me every time I go to class because it seems easy for me to learn hahaha. Even Professor Radagast, says the same to me. I look different from amateur Ashleigh.
Right now I’m in the library…
“Hurry up! Stop! Stop! You’re doing the wrong thing! I’ll be looking for it! You really are an idiot.”
I gasped. You are right in thinking … Yep, He is the one who’s with me… None other than… Calux the great.
“Give it to me! I’ll do it!” He said annoyed and then grabbed the book I was holding and then the paper and ballpoint pen.
“Look, this is how it works.” He said while focusing on what he was doing.
I sighed again and then watched him do it.
For sure you are all probably wondering why I am with this arrogant person.
Well, this is just what happened.
Flashback
Our class time last Wednesday is in Professor Herne’s class. and we both ignore each other in those hours. We both just focused on what Professor Herne was teaching. While our whole class was quiet and almost everyone was listening as well. Every time Calux and I stare at each other, we only do death glares so that everyone does not notice that there is an argument going on between the two of us.
Professor Herne’s class will soon end when he gave us a project by pair.
“Since you all almost know about the basic Cosmic Magic Spells … I would like to group you by pairs.” Professor Herne explained as he adjusted his glasses.
Then Calux suddenly raised his hand.
‘Oh god, here he goes again, he’s trying to make himself famous in front of everyone again.’
“Professor, are we going to do something about Comic Magic?” he asked.
“Yes, Mr. Calux … and you will make a report about it. You will present it at our next meeting. For now, I need to group you before I give you the spell you will make a report on.” said Professor Herne.
Professor immediately grabbed his blue notebook and started calling names.
“Mr. Ruzzell and Ms. Ensley …”
I was held tightly by my ballpoint pen … My name has not been called yet … I also did not hear that Calux was called … I wish —
“Then last but not least …” Professor stopped first.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
I hope he doesn’t please please I hope he doesn’t!
“Mr. Calux and … Ms. Ashleigh. You two are partners and your report is about cosmic destructive spells.” Professor Herne explained.
W-WHAT!? I accept the report that we will be going to do but I do not accept that this man should be my partner. I stood up and raise my hand.
“P-Professor! Can I exchange partners … please professor, if not, I can just be alone … just don’t group me with this man… We will never get along. Maybe we won’t finish the report either so … Please professor, just group me with others. “I explained at length to Professor.
Professor was obviously confused between the two of us. I turned to Calux who was just chilling, sitting with legs crossed while his eyes are closed and smirking and crossing his arms.
He is really testing my temper huh?
“Ms. Ashleigh … Uhh very well … Who among you is willing to exchange partners?” the professor asked.
I hope there is, please, I can’t afford to be this man’s partner.
“Anyone?” the professor asked again
Please! please!
“Is anyone willing?” the professor asked again as he rolled his eyes at the whole class.
“I don’t want to… I’m okay with my partner.”
“I can’t last long if that Calux becomes my partner.”
“No one will want to exchange just be paired to that Calux Zephyr.”
I heard them all whisper. I turned to Calux again. His smirks become more widened.
“I guess … no one wants to exchange partners.” said Professor Herne and then sighed. “Ms. Ash —”
“It’s okay, professor. I can bear with it… I guess.” I said then arranged to sit down again.
‘Annoying … I’ll just bear with it instead of losing grades.’
“Okay Class Dismissed.”
Professor Herne said and then left the classroom.
“Ha. ha well well well it looks like I’ll be with you for about 3 days to make a report.” he said… well he was obviously teasing me.
I just ignored him and just arranged my belongings.
“Let’s meet up later at the library. Exactly 5 p. m. later.” he said then got up and left the classroom as well.
I gasped and bit my lip.
‘This is a nightmare!’
End of flashback
Actually, it was the 2nd day I was with this guy. My friends also know that my partner in making a report on Cosmic Class is Calux. They are also all annoyed especially Elgin hahaha.
Honestly, it’s not bad that Calux became my groupmate. He is really smart so he is just too arrogant.
“Look this is what you should look for. I just have procedures for you in its history. I will also explain as long as you just do it you will show how the Cosmic Destructive Spell is done so they know what it looks like when they do it. . ” Calux explained as he focused his attention on what he was doing.
“Okay okay … maybe I’ll just make visual aids so they can see what we’re referring to and also to summarize our report. Maybe they won’t get what we mean in our report.” I said.
“Good idea. I’ll just explain the difficult part so you don’t have a hard time. You will just explain the easiest way okay?” he asked again.
“Okay.” I answered.
I started making visual aids … it was almost 7:30 pm and we were still in the library and both of us hadn’t eaten a snack yet because we were finishing the report.
“So far, this is what I see that I will put in explaining. ‘Destructive Magic is a skill in Heroes of Might and Magic V that allows the learning of Destructive Magic spells of the third spell level. Higher skill levels allow the learning of fourth and fifth-level spells. Barbarians cannot learn Destructive Magic or any subskills, instead of learning Shatter Destruction. ‘ but I will look for more to be added for the report so that they can see that we both worked hard to do it. ” he said and slowly drew a simple smile on his lips.
“I see, I got this simple explanation … it says here that destructive magic has different levels of spells.” I said.
“Where is it?”
“Just wait… Oh, here it is… Well, it says here that it has different levels. It says here that Destructive Spell has 5 levels. At Level 1—”
I continued to explain to him as he nodded and listened to what I was saying and what I was pointing out in the book.
We were sorting out the information we had gathered in the book when suddenly someone approached Calux and me.
“Ms. Ashleigh. Can you come with me? Our principal is calling you.” said Ms. Aislinn while staring at me.
“What stupid thing have you done and why did the principal call you?” Calux whispered to me.
This man is really getting on my nerves! If I can’t control myself, I will really hit him in the face.
“Shut up there Calux!” I whispered and stared at him.
Suddenly I stood up and then answered Ms. Aislinn. “Yes, Ms. Aislinn.”
“I’ll finish the rest if you don’t come back right away.” Calux said that I just nodded and then went with Ms. Aislinn.
What have I done and why is the Principal calling me?
We stopped at a large door. Ms. immediately opened. The door slammed shut and I was prompted to go inside, which I did immediately.
“Principal Alastor Ms. Aislinn is here.” said Ms. Aislinn.
“Good. Ms. Aislinn, please close the door.” the principal ordered as the swivel chair turned his back on us.
“As you wish Principal Alastor.” said Ms. Aislinn and obeyed the principal’s orders.
I was very nervous … What could I have done to call me… I don’t remember anything I did wrong. Ahh, how could I be expelled!
“Take a seat dear.” said Principal Alastor calmly.
I immediately sat in the chair in front of his desk.
“We’re just going to talk about something important … please don’t be afraid. Dear Ashleigh.”
