Unlike the crudely made “pieces” Caera and I had played with, positioned on the onal board were exquisitely carved representations of Strikers, Casters, and shi+elds in deep red stone on one side and thundercloud gray on the other

“Fancy,” Regis said, sniffing around the board and knocking several of the pieces over

Pushi+ng his head away, I reset the pieces and stood up from the table

Next, I turned my attention to the projection device The oval crystal, which was slightly rough, as if it had been hand carved froer piece, was mounted to the ith metal brackets

“On,” I commanded, unable to find any controls near the device

No response

“Activate,” I said hesitantly while waving my hand in front of the oval crystal to see if it reacted to physical gestures

Regis let out a snicker, causing ive it a little pulse of ain when the mana crystal embedded inside is either out of mana, or you draw all the, but if someone else watched me stumble around like this, it would be immediately obvious I wasn’t an Alacryan

“You know,” Regis said with the air of so very obvious, “the whole ‘no er deal now that we’re in civilization You’re going to need to be htno‍velpubc‍o experience

I let my eyes close “We’ve only been here tento rest his chin on the edge of the couch next to o look around, where there are cute girls I can gawk at”

I groaned “The girls here are all teenagers, Regis Don’t be disgusting”

“And I’m barely a few months old, and not even the saood-looking professors for you, oldinto his relentless badgering and rolling to ure out wheresupplies are supposed to be there” I stopped at the door “But you’ll have to sightsee from inside me”

“But I—” is You stand out even worse than I do In”

The shadoolf huffed in annoyance, but did what I asked

I shookaround near my aether core Letthat will draw attention, I told him

‘Aye aye, Professor Princess’

It was a short walk across carand structure that remindedwas largely empty, since classes hadn’t started yet, and I wandered the spacious halls in peace until I found the right roole door opened into a half-circle shaped space, like a s on the floor level It was s for no more than thirty or so students

As I took the first shallow step down the stairs, lighting artifacts along the outside wall and ceiling lit up auto caught my eye, and I stopped to bend down over one of the seats, which had a rune engraved into it

“Ahtno‍velpubc‍o experience

‘Yup, pretty sure you are,’ Regis confirmed for me

The rune, when activated, would send a jolt of pain up the spine of whoever happened to be sitting on it “Barbaric”

‘Welcome to the Alacryan school syste the stairs down to the dueling ring, I walked around it to the far side where there was a metal panel with a series of knobs and levers on it Curious, I flicked one, and a shi+, transparent shi+eld vibrated into place around the platfors at Xyrus, but the rest of the controls wereI discovered that, with the flip of a switch, I could activate a force-dampener that would dull all impacts within the bounds of the combat platform, and there was a dial that let hter to challenge the students

Although I was nopotential enemy combatants than when Alaric first explained his hairbrained scheme, I had to admit the Alacryans had some fancy toys

Another door opened into the wall just behind the dueling ring Using the jade runestone, I unlocked it and entered a small office with a desk, three chairs, a couple of shelves, and a large trunk with runes etched into the metal

A stack of scrolls, parch forthe two scrolls I’d received fro into the more detailed aspects of the class later

The runestone also unlocked the trunk, which provided storage for ear for the class I recognized vests that would allow detailed analysis of mana flow, physical force, acceleration, and probably a dozen other ear Emily had invented to test my abilities back in the castle, but obviously much more advanced You can find the rest of this content on the light‍nove lpu bc­oet their hands on soy…

Did you think we’d be creating havoc with a scantily-clad girl on each ar? I retorted

The short entry hall was decorated with paintings of previous acadee portrait of a stern rey hair and thunderous brows creased into a furrow According to the brass plaque on the wall beneath it, this hblood Ramseyer—was the current director of the acadeuy looks like he’d be a blast to have at a party,’ Regis noted sarcastically as we ardless of his personality, Director Ramseyer would be someone I would have to watch out for
