Though I'm the only female mage, I still got to change my uniform to secretary uniform so that I'll get recognized.
"Oh my god! Why are you wearing that?" Clair said the first she saw me.
"Oh, these? I got promoted and now I am the council secretary" I said jokingly.
"I'm proud of you, Alyxia. This is your second day here at Acability and you're already the council secretary?" she said proudly.
"I know. Pretty crazy right? Stefan offered me this job for Samantha won't attend school for the next five months. So I replaced her for now. He also said that this job can help me find my ability. So… I accepted it" I explained.
"I hope that you find your ability soon. I bet it is awesome" she said.
"Thank you, Clair" I smiled at her.
"Hey, where's Reign?" I asked.
"Hmp. Probably wondering around the campus again" Clair pouted.
"But it's already 6 pm" I said.
"You know that she's a stubborn girl. Don't worry 'bout her. I know that she's fine" Clair just smiled it off but deep inside, I know that she's worrying 'bout Reign.
"Fine. I will go to sleep. I guess I'm tired" I said and as lay myself in bed, I immediately fell in deep slumber.
'Hey Alyxia. Sorry for leaving you behind but me and Reign have early classes. Take care of yourself - Clair'
I read the note beside my bed table then looked at the time.
"Gosh! I'm almost late again!" I shouted to and immediately fixed myself.
I ran and ran till I reached the mages lair.
"Over slept, huh? That ain't ok, specially that you're now part of the council" said by an unfamiliar voice. I turned around and saw Sec Daymon.
"Oh I'm sorry. I promise that I won't over slept ever again" I said nervously. The first time Clair mentioned Sec Daymon, it gave me chills all over my body. Special when learned about the second name thingy. It spooked me upon hearing that he is a….. demon…
"It's fine. We'll be having a meeting after lunch. Be sure to come to the office on time" he reminded me.
"Yes, lord Sec" I bowed and said him goodbye and continue running for class.
Class ended smoothly and it's already lunch time. I made new friends too. I didn't expect that mages are actually friendly.
I sat down at the chair and begin to eat my lunch.
"Hey. Do you mind me seating here?" I looked up and saw a familiar face. But I don't seem to remember who he actually was. I examined his face. Trying to remember who he is.
"Uhmm… Marcus Ice. We're classmates at ability class" he said and offered his hand.
"Oh! Now I remember. Uhm Alyxia White. I don't mind you seating with. Uhmm please have a seat" I said nervously.
"Why so tensed, Aly? Oh can I call you Aly"
"Sure. Uhm can I ask you a question?" I asked.
"Yeah. What is it?" he said.
"There are a lot of vacant seats there. But why did you choose to seat with me?" I asked shyly.
"Well I just want to be friends with you" he said after he drank his juice.
"Thank you" I smiled at him. For some reason, I felt so much comfortable around him. We talked and talked until lunch was over.
"I'm sorry for cutting our conversation here. But I need to go to the council" I said and waved him goodbye. He is a good man. We already became friends.
"Do you think she's capable for this job?" I heard someone talked inside the council room. I guess it's Sec. Are they talking about me?
"Don't know. Why don't you give her a chance" Third said. I decided to eavesdrop first before entering the room.
"Fine. But at least guide her for this task. I cannot go with you two for I have other matters I needed to take care of" Said Sec.
"Ok. I know that she'll do fine" Third said.
"What are you doing there child? Why aren't you going inside?" Dang it! Stefan almost gave me a heart attack.
"Oh me? I was about to come in but. Uhm I needed to tie my shoes hehehe" I lied.
"Child, you don't have a shoe Lace. Anyway, come. Let's go inside" Stefan laughed.
"Stefan. I think that we should not give her this task right away. I mean, she's still a newbie here. She doesn't know how this fantasy world works" Sec said the moment we came inside the room.
"Why? I know that she can do it. Besides, this task isn't that dangerous and hard. I bet she can do it. Even without your guide" Stefan defended.
"Woah. First, why are you doubting my skills. Second, what is this task anyway. Is it really much of a big deal?" I can't helo but to interrupt their conversation.
"I doubt your skill because you still not found of your ability. Second your task is to bring Altair Demony here at Acability" Sec explained.
"Who is this Altair Demony?" I asked.
"The last devil of the demon clan" Third answered this time. I can't help but to swallow my own spit. What the heck? A demon?
"Why do we need him here?" I said as calmly as possible. I don't want to see them that I'm pretty scared.
"That stubborn boy, he's causing ruckus all around City A at the human world. We taught that you can fetch him since you are familiar with the human world" Sec explained.
"Wait. Aren't you a demon yourself. Isn't easy for you to fetch him yourself?" I asked.
"Yeah I am, but that kid and I had bad history" Sec said with annoyance.
"Fine, I'll accept this task" I said confidently. What could go wrong right?
"Are you sure," Sec said. And I nodded as an answer.
"Then it's settled. Good luck on your first task, Alyxia" Sec smiled at me. It was the first time he called me at my first name. I guess he isn't that bad after all.
"But don't worry. You can have Third with you" he said and that made me a lot better. I think that I pretty much needs his help for this task.
"You may now be dismissed" Sec said and I leaved the room to attend my next class.
"How's your day, Alyxia?" Clair asked cheerfully when she saw me entered our room.
"It's fine, I guess. Oh! By the way. I have this new task" I said and sat down beside her. Ready to narrate my task.
"What is it?" Clair said excitedly.
"I just need to bring Altair Demony here at Acability" I said.
"Altair?! Demony?!" I yelled.
"Yeah. What's wrong with that?" I asked confusedly.
"He is the last devil of the demon clan. He is hard to handle" Clair said.
"Isn't Sec Daymon a demon too? I don't really get it. If he is a demon. Why is he here as a mage? I'm really confused" Finally I got a chance to ask the question that's been bothering me the whole day.
"Haven't you read Acability's history?" Clair asked.
"Not really hehehe" I said scratching my head.
"Oh my. This is a lot of explaining to do" Clair laughed.
