the school bell rang out letting all know that class was over and caused the halls to be flooded with bodies as they tried to move to their next class.
back in the lecture hall with mr.draxz, the teacher could be seen standing in front of and glaring out the window more specify the tree that the lady was hiding in earlier.
letting out a huff the man turned around and walked back to his desk. steeping behind his desk Mr.draxz lifted his left hand and stared at the glowing symbol in his palm as it faded.
"So she noticed and desired my tracking rune, mm that ether means she is a very talented young lady or she is not as young as I thought, but what worries me the most is the fact that she is sneaking around the school and that I only noticed her because she was listening to my lecture, how she did that outside a soundproof is impressive, but this also means she is dangerous i must inform my colleagues" then he activated his hollow-ring and enter the group chat that the all the teachers are part of I was made for official announcements but not even twenty-four hours after it's creation it was consumed by absurd messages, memes, joke, and just plain stupid chaos, but none of them could not deny that it was anything but boring.

Mr.dream watching as his fellow teacher agreed to his plan, "hopefully" he thought to himself as he clenched his fist "that nothing happens and nothing goes wrong" he knew that if something did happen and someone was hurt it would be his fault and his alone, allowing himself to relax as students started to enter the room.
At this time Sam had already arrived at his next class Mana theory with ms.bell. ms.bell is a sweet lady in her thirties with ebony skin, a medium sized afro, light brown eyes, chubby figure, and a warm clear smile. But don't let that smile fool she could be a very strict and/or fierce teacher when she had to be.
the classroom was different from most the first thing is that there are no chairs instead there were small rugs for students to sit on, the rugs were from all over the world and many different cultures so there were many different styles and shapes.
Sam choose a square Egyptian style Anubis themed rug to sit on. After taking his seat sam pulled up his work schedule and blinked a bit in surprise it said that he was off for the next two weeks, which was impossible for a few reasons
one, they were understaffed
Two, his parents spoke to his boss and made sure he would have a shift at least three to four times a week to make sure he would not just sit in the house all break
Three, his boss was not the kind of person who would allow for his employees to not work for a whole week seeing as he pays them a set amount every seven days unaffected by how much they actually worked.
Four sam like his job so he took a shift when he had time and was the person to call if you could not make your shift.
these reasons were why him not being on the schedule was a strange thing. but before he could think about it more the teacher entered the classroom.
"Good morning class" she called out grabbing the students' attention, "now all of you set down your devices the lesson is beginning" there was not much point in her saying that everyone's devices were already put away not because they were afraid she was going to take it no, what she did was much worse she would have you project what you were doing on the hollow board in front of the class and it would stay there all day letting everyone know your business, this made all students put away their tech without her saying anything.
"ok class since today is the last day before the break so today we are going to do something simple, I am going to teach you a fairly simple rune the plant growth rune καλλιεργώ." as she spoke she pressed a button on her desk and the word appeared on Holoscreen with the pronunciation under it.
Ms.bell gave her students a couple of moments to read and try their hand at speaking it but during this time she noticed one of her beads on her bracelet was faintly glowing, raising her right arm to get a closer look at it, the bracelet was a simple silver band with more than ten thirty multi-colored glass beads it didn't look like much and didn't draw much attention which was why she used it.
Normally the teacher would not be able to wear a bracelet like this at work or any kind of jewelry/accessory. Mostly because they were a safety hazard which was true when you were dealing with teens especially when they were learning how to use mana which tends to get really out of hand like it has many times this year. but there was an exception to this rule if the accessory served a purpose like Ms.bell bracelet did each gem on her bracelet has a permanently active rune engraved in it.
the one that had shined was επίγνωση the awareness rune using this rune on could be alerted to things that they needed or wanted to be aware of. for example, the rune was currently alerting Ms.bell that someone was watching her class.
Ms.bell's face hardens for a second before it returned to her usual sun-like smile. "now class this rune help accelerate the growth of all forms of plant life is very useful for those who garden or have other kinds of plant related hobbies. but I must warn you that when you use this rune that you have to be careful how much power you use or there will be dangerous and weird side effects.
"Now then let me show you how you would write this rune" as she said this she pulled out her writer glove out of her pocket.
A writer glove was a glove that covered the middle, pointer finger and palm only, the glove was woven from magic cotton. Magic cotton was a cotton plant that had absorbed a certain amount of mana and even though the appearance of the plant had not changed at all it's properties could not be more different, the fabric made from this cotton was twice a durable and had great mana conductivity. The mana conductivity was the reason that most writer gloves were made with magic cotton because the main purpose of the gloves was to help with the writing of runes.
Runes were like. like a. well the easy way to explain it was to say that runes were the language of mana and using them you could ask mana to help you in some way, well that was the explanation given to children but everyone understood it there were complicated ones but let's save them for another time.
Even though people used rune in their daily life there was still an amount of danger that came with them, the most dangerous time is when writing them. There are many things that can happen while writing a rune, like for example, it could explode in your face, you could get mana burns, it backfires which is different from an explosion and depends on the rune but are usually worse then the rune exploding.
Putting on the glove on her left hand Ms.bell used her pointer and middle finger to slowly draw the rune in the air for all her class to see, after finishing the rune she let it hang in the air as she put a small potted fern from under the desk, using her gloved hand she grabbed the floating rune and formed a fist then pushing a bit of mana into it causing a light green glow to emerge for her fist, opening said first revealed a small bead sized ball of green light.
Tilting her hand Ms.bell let ball fall on to the fern, on contact the ball was absorbed in the fern for a moment nothing happened before the fern gave off a bright light green glow a second before it started to grow at an incredible rate less than a minute it almost tripled in size before the glow faded.
"Now that my demonstration is over I would like for all of you to start up your rune practice apps and practice the rune if you're able to achieve ten percent correct on the rune before class if you are free to do whatever you want until the bell rings now," reaching under the desk she pulled out an eye mask " unless the school is about to be hit with a moon, don't wake me up" putting on the mask she sat in the chair behind the desk and went to sleep.
Unbothered by this the student followed her instructions opened there apps and started to practice the rune.
Outside the lady was once again spying on sam from behind a tree "learning such a useless rune, what a waste of time"
"There is no such thing as a useless rune, only those who lack the creativity to use it's full power" Ms.bell voice rang out above her. She threw her head back looking up to see a grey transparent humanoid figure sitting on a branch above her.
"Who are you the lady demanded.
"I could ask you the same thing but I believe you should answer first seeing as how you are trespassing on school grounds and I work here" her tone dead calm.
"I will not answer to a being such as you" the lady haughtily spoke before she waved her hand at the figure sitting in the tree, from here hand shoots an unseen force the turned the figure and the branch it was sitting on to dust. Turning her gaze back to the class the lady showed no signs that she just used any kind of power.
"Would you mind answering my question?" this time Ms.bell spoke from behind her without hesitation the lady spun around swinging her arms once more releasing force that vaporized the new figure and a chunk of the ground.
"This may be a small complication to my mission" the lady mumbled before she wiped her arm right and destroyed another figure before it could speak
"What mission?" thirty figures spoke as they materialized around the lady who said nothing but planted her feet on the ground and snapping her fingers sending a wave of unseen power that destroyed all the figures at once.
"Okay more than a small complication, but it will not stop me from completing the mission my master gave to me" she spoke with a resolve made diamond as she braced herself for more figures to appear and they did.
"And who might that master be" more than fifty figures appeared and immediately they charged at the lady who snapped her fingers again but to her surprise the only got rid of about six of them.
"What!" she cursed as she dodged a punch from one of the figures.
"Surprised, you can only blame yourself for looking down at your opponent" one the figure spoke as it stood back watching the other figure attack the lady only for her to deal with them like they were flies, very agile flies.
Back in the classroom, Sam was practicing the plant growth rune unaware that the fight going outside was because of him.
