The night passed with Jaegar and Jeanine sleeping on the couch, still wrapped in an embrace.
As the morning sunlight filtered into the room, they woke up and decided to head straight to the headmaster's office to report the incident.
In Ashfield's office, Jeanine recounted what she had witnessed in Jaegar's room, and Jaegar shared the details of his encounter with the intruder.
After listening carefully, Headmaster Ashfield's expression turned grave. He apologized to Jaegar for the incident, assuring him that he would take immediate action to ensure his safety. Ashfield decided to arrange a new room for Jaegar in the teachers' quarters, a place where he could have better protection and accessibility to the professors if needed. He also promised to instruct Professor Isadora to keep a watchful eye on the situation.
Dismissing them from his office, he thought about investigating the matter by himself. Jaegar and Jeanine left. But as they walked out, Jaegar couldn't help but wear a wide grin on his face. Jeanine was curious about his sudden burst of joy, asking, "Why are you grinning like an idiot". Jaegar replied with excitement, "Didn't you hear what he said? Now, I'll be your boy next door!"
Jeanine rolled her eyes but couldn't suppress a small smile at Jaegar's enthusiasm. She playfully smacked him on the head and said, "It's not going to happen again. Don't get ahead of yourself."
As the days at the academy went by, Jaegar settled into his new routine. He attended classes alongside his newfound friends, Pierre and Jennifer. They were always there to support each other, navigating the complexities of magic together. Jaegar had become familiar with Jennifer and Pierre.
However, it soon became evident that Jaegar's true passion lay in the classes taught by Isadora Lovett and Professor Heath. Isadora's lessons on spellcasting and conjuring fascinated him, and he found himself mesmerized by her intricate demonstrations of magic.
Professor Heath's classes on elemental magic were equally captivating for Jaegar. Learning how to manipulate the forces of nature felt empowering and exhilarating.
While Jaegar occasionally tried attending other classes, his heart was always drawn back to Isadora's and Heath's teachings. There was something about their methods of instruction that resonated with him on a deeper level. Isadora's gentle yet firm guidance and Heath's adventurous approach to magic made him more interested in learning magic.
Several more days passed in Flick, and Jaegar found himself attending yet another class, this time on elemental magic. It was also taught by Isodrora, who was very efficient with elemental magic. But she rarely allows herself to associate with anyone.
Isodora, the professor, was assigned to take special care of him.
In the present moment, they were both in the same room, and Jaegar couldn't help but observe her.
He thought, 'She's giving me powerful dominant vibes.'
Breaking the silence, Isadora spoke, her expression serious, "You are the son of Augusta."
Jaegar replied, a bit taken aback, "Yes, Everyone says so."
Isadora narrowed her eyes.
Isadora let out a sigh and continued, "You have her eyes and that nose too." She was pretty acquainted with Augusta in their prime days. Seeing her son made Isodora remember her.
Surprised by the revelation, Jaegar inquired, "You know my mother?"
"Yeah," she responded plainly.
Curious to know more, Jaegar asked, "Well, let's talk about you. Ashfield mentioned that you were attacked a few days ago."
'Just how many times do I have to explain this, fuck! ' he thought inwardly.
Frustration crept into Jaegar's mind as he had to explain the incident once again. Isadora sat behind her desk, intently listening to him. Then something he said caught her attention.
"Wait, you said you used lightning to numb him?" she asked.
"Yes, it just came naturally, as if it were at the back of my hand," Jaegar replied.
Isadora rubbed her chin, deep in thought, and then she remarked, "That shithead also had the same ability."
Jaegar wrinkled his brows and said, "Who?"
"Nevermind. We will talk later." She said that and left the room.
Jaegar also came out of the room and found Pierre and Jennifer waiting for him.
"What did you and Ice Beauty talk about?" It was the first question Pierre asked him.
Jaegar raised an eyebrow, squinting his eyes. "Ice beauty? What sort of name is that?"
Jennifer chimed in, Pierre, why do you come with these names?"
"Isn't she always like that. and that white hair too, it suits her." Pierre was giving them an explanation about the name.
Jaegar and Jennifer glanced at each other.
