"Class i will go to the a teachers meeting, if you don't behave while i am out you won't eat today special Corned Potatoes fried in Red Eyed Snake oil", said Charles who it's almost the height of two average humans stacked going out the 3.4 meters tall class's door. Entomos, Quillins and mainly Myscetis, like the teacher Charles, can be a little over 3 meters tall so a doors in constructions with flow of individuals of different species by law and convention must be high.
With the exit of Charles all the class was in silence, the students who sits nearest the door after twenty seconds got up and stuck his head out of the room, after locking around he said to the class, "It's safe". With everything in order the silence it's gone, like he had never existed, some students get up and formed small groups to talk and others started playing games on their bracelets. The student who checked if was safe, stood at the door like a sentinel, this time he was in duty.
Today is a special day in Behemoth School, on a specific day of the month the school prepare an extra special meal for their students, by vote the chosen one this time was the favorite of several students, and one student in particular is at the back of the class and he said, "Oh Yeah! Corned Potatoes!".
Hearing Orfeu's small celebration Korvaurora looked at him curiously. Feeling her gaze Orfeu frowned, got up and walked out towards other students who are chit chatting. Korvaurora sighed and got ready to try to sleep on her desk. Unfortunately to her plans, one lizard didn't let what happened escape from her eyes, she sits on Orfeu's sit, besides Korvaurora, and said, "Orfeu is hurt because you are not spending time with us anymore. Now you are always so low spirited and with a short temper. Why you are like this?"
Korvarora turned her face in Yasmin direction and, without taking it off the table, and opened only one eye and stared her. Being able to translate her friend's stare like 'I ain't an idiot and can tell that', Yasmin smiled, appointed to Korvaurora and said, "I in particular, thinks that all this is just phase and our old Korva still there".
Too tired, also not caring enough, to create a lie Korvaurora thought it best to vent with someone out she was passing the last two months, "I was training to defeat the new guy"
Yasmin opened her eyes wide and said, "So that is the reason because your are more fit. I can see better the lines of your muscles... Wait! Defeat Martre? Wow! This explain your your frustrations, That's aiming high".
Korvaurora already regretting open up with her, rolled her eye and said in self depreciation, "Yeah".
Seeing her friend confusion, Yasmin tried to undo the misunderstanding, she waved her arms, saying, "Hey! You got me wrong! i meaning it in the good side". Korvarora's eyebrow ride a little hearing it, Yasmin continued, "You are always stubborn in doing meaningless things. This time you was improving yourself while being stubborn, this is good".
Korvaurora snorted and said, "I ain't stubborn... I gave up in training".
"Why? Because Martre is too strong?", said Yasmin
This morning while running, Korvaurora saw that she was struggling with ten laps and it seems there is still a long way to go until Hear as Hear stage, her mind could not hold on more and Korvaurora made a tantrum. Korvaurora said in low spirit, "Of course. I worked the shit out of me for two months and not even gained strength to be near him, i can do this... i can win against him... i am powerless"
Yamin staid in silence hearing her. Korvaurora understand that her situation is complicated and don't wanna force her friend more in this awkward conversation. She made a half-smile and hide her exposed eye back in her pillow made of her own arms. Unexpectedly after some seconds she answered, "No, you can't".
Korvaurora raised her head and looked to Yasmin in surprise, she let scape by her mouth, "Ehh!". Kovaurora did not expect to her friend say something like that, she hoped at least a positive support.
Yasmin giggled, Korvaurora acted like she planned, and said, "You can't do this. But we can. While you train i can watch Martre and keep updating you. With my information you can train in the most optimized way to defeat him. What you think?"
Korvaurora calm down and said, "it doesn't change anything. I already planned train my abilities to be a perfect counter to him".
Yasmin shook her head and said, "You are wrong, this time you would have mine help, and i can understand Matre's weakness better than you, i watch professional fight since my five years. Your training efficiency would skyrocket".
Korvaurora is grateful that her friend is trying to help, but her mains problems would remain, they can't be changed, "Thanks for the offer. But i would still not be talented enough to scratch him. I am powerless".
Yasmin looked Korvaurora upside down and said, "Wow, Korva when you became so without confidence? Where is my pretentious Korva?"
"... She is too tired. She don't have a superhuman willpower to keep pushing herself forward seeing all the circumstances against her", said Korvaurora.
Korvaurora is a normal girl trying to go against not maybe one of the most gifted individuals of the history, and Korvaurora may be against her own universe too. It's incredible she don't just break down. The pressure on her body and her mind in the last two months hit her limit.
To Korvaurora, while Martre started in her front and is increasing the distance between them everyday, and she tried so hard reach him. However she can't see any relevant results. She didn't reached Heart as Heart or learned any new spell on the lasts months.
When Korvaurora started her trained, she knew that would be hard, but this showed up to be hard in a level that before she couldn't conceive it. Korvaurora has spent several sleepless nights because of a mistake she made during mana training, now that she need to use all her mana while train an injury that an error generates is much bigger than those that just made it itch in the beginning of her training. Every time that her Mana Heart pulsates. Korvaurora felt like needles stings her insides, and because of her training it pulses thirty times per minute.
"Korva you was strong before this training of yours, now you must be stronger. You can't compare your progress only with Martre, you are indeed making progress, i am sure of it... just not forget about us ,your friends. We can help you at least vent out. You just need a chance, it is a pity nothing never happens here", said Yasmin with the tail down and a sad face.
Korvaurora was started by her commentary, "Hey! Don't raise a flag like thi....".
The duo noted that the class suddenly became quiet. All gazes are fixed in a hand that is raising on the air the door's sentinel by his head. Six bad-looking individuals entered the classroom, the class atmosphere became heavy. Koravaurora saw in the middle of them one who stands out. He has a built a little smaller than a Alzawarifs, only 1.12 meters, wrapped in red burn feather and having two wings in his back he seems to be one blue blooded Rooster. Korvaurora thought, "The Kussnot in the front of the group by his body language must be one of 'The Pride' commanders. Why those guys like do scene soo much".
The rooster like Kussnot said aloud with a cordial tone, "My dear schoolmates, now 'the pride' is in control of you".
