Three Days Later
The room was filled with a low hum of chatter as students began packing away their spellbooks and things after the intense Spell Casting II class had just ended. Adrian could still feel the residual tingle of magic in his fingertips, his thoughts drifting to the lessons as he organized his desk. The instructor, an older beastwoman with sharp, attentive fox ears and a no-nonsense demeanor, moved toward the front of the classroom.
"Everyone, stay where you are," she said firmly, her voice cutting through the noise. The students froze, their conversations dying down instantly.
Adrian exchanged a quick glance with Aria, who sat beside him. She raised an eyebrow, curious. This wasn't normal for a typical class wrap-up. Something was about to happen.
'An announcement probably.' Adrian muttered inwardly.
