" Now we talk about the foundations of our sorcery. Sorcery is allowed to us through 2 sources. For the light mages, they are blessed with arcane of the light, for us we are provided arcane of the deep. Arcane of the light and the deep are respectively derived from those fuckers light lords and our dark lord." She said putting special emphasis on slandering the light lords. The classes aren't much cordial and affable I deduced from the Hildr's way of teaching. What better could the other professors be? They loathe every thing about light lords with burning passion.
" Now move onto page 60." She directed while she skipped to that in her own book. This page had figures of a witch and a wizard going up against each other. The man was armed with a set of chained sabers. On the other hand the woman fought empty handed.
" The major difference between a wizard and witch is the reserve of arcane in their bodies. A witch's reserve of arcane generally varies from person to person but a wizard's reserve is always on the smaller side. So to compensate for that lacuna in abilities, a wizard uses a specially enchanted weapon to which they can channel their arcane energy into and amplify it's effects. Besides that, a wizard's body so very durable that it can fend off some arcane attacks with their bare hands. This literally relates to men are thick-skinned."
I didn't know weather to laugh at her humor or spit on the ground.
" Therefore there aren't any unisex colleges for sorcery due to the differences in both a male and female's fighting dynamics. " She said pacing back and forth about her table. A doubt swelled up inside me.
" Excuse me professor. If that is the case, shouldn't have I enrolled in a college meant for boys?"
" A valid question Lyke. Headmistress Yulva has assessed that your body holds more arcane energy than your fellow gender group. Due to that you should adapt to a witch's method of fighting that relies more on spell usage rather than swinging around a weapon like a barbarian. You both are abnormal in many ways." She heaved an unnerving sigh.
I understand why would I be considered an abnormal but what was wrong with her? I took a quick glance at Natalie. She doesn't look abnormal to me? Even that Yunis says she consider us a couple? What is that about her that makes her like me?
" Continuing the lesson. Each of us dark mages are sister and brother in someways. We all are the sons and daughters of the descendants of The Dark Lord."
Hildr stopped the lesson for a breather. I leaned back to spread out my legs and crackled my neck. The lesson had been exhilarating till now. Hope it stays that way. I've got to give it to Hildr. She got an amazing methodology to teach like a single word from her mouth was related to the doom of the world that kept me hooked and at the edge of my seat.
After getting herself prepared, she again started to impart us with lot of knowledge. The lesson lasted for about an hour. I byhearted everything taught during the period. Professor Hildr peeked outside the oval window at the clouds in the sky and started sorting her books on the top of her desk.
" This class is over. Meet me here again after 2 hours. Next class will be more practical and you would need that red book. Written in it are some basic spells. And Lyke," She called and glowered at me.
" I want no more delays." Warning me, she wisked around and left.
" That was exciting, wasn't it?" I tried to strike a conversation with Natalie again. Not replying, she grabbed her books and stood up from her seat. I tilted my head up to look at her.
" Listen, Lyke or whoever you maybe. It won't do you any good involving with me or the other way around. You and me both have our fair share of problems already." She bluntly said without even taking a glance at my face and I was left all alone in the classroom speechless.
" Lyke I don't think you will make any friends till the end of your days here."
" Truly said Scraggy. I don't know what insects are deep in their asses." I shaked my head in disappointment.
To make things more irascible, when I evacuated from the premises of the lonely classroom, the chartterings among the witches desisted from noisy to deafening silence. I could hear the fucking critters creek. The awkward stillness bouldered down on my shoulders. The looks of disgust and surprise were evident on their faces. They must have received a letter about their first male addition to the colleges so why those faces?
" Fuck this. Some breakfast would do me good." I told my myself in a prolonged whisper as I walked amongst the witches. Wherever I walked, silence trailed. They eyed me as if they were seeing some exotic animal walking between them in broad daylight.
I glided down the stairs and walked uninterrupted straight to the dining hall , muting whoever saw me. Same happened when I placed my auspicious feet in the eating grounds. The rasp chattering tuned down to buzzing mutters.
The long table by my side, a blonde witch with wavy hair was sitting on it. Plates of piping hot food materialized out of the table infront of her in real-time. She must have felt my gawking, so she tweaked her neck towards my direction.
" What ?" She hissed. I raised my hands and walked away. I observed carefully and finally discovered who I was looking for. Natalie; By herself, focusing on her food.
I sauntered across to her and sat at the other of the table.
" Alright magic table! Wisp out something good for me."
Mouth watering aroma of food invaded my nose. My brekky was here. Cookies, Fruits, stew, bread etc. All are going down my throat now.
