"Today nine people have completed the second level magic exam, and fifteen people have completed the first level magic exam. Five people passed the third level magic exam, and they can continue the class by going to the next level of class, the eagle class."
Esmeralda was tense as she had finally completed her first level magic exam, and Master Redric mentioned her name among the fifteen who had passed.
"Oh my... I finally passed my first test!" Yuriel stretched his arms as he said with a sigh of relief, upon hearing his name mentioned just now. He had failed so many times, finally after staying up all night to study, he was able to finish his first level magic exam.
"You look pretty good!" A girl with straight hair tied to the side, and with a gold-colored hairpin with a snake pattern came to Esmeralda's table. Her hands holding a large book, and her face so full of confidence. The girl reached out to Esmeralda and said,
"Next we'll be friends. Since I've already passed the second level exam, maybe next month I'll be able to advance. But I realize your potential, I hope you can finish all your exams soon and follow me to the eagle class." The girl said proudly.
Esmeralda was only stunned, seeing Esmeralda who did not immediately shake her hand, the girl took the initiative to take the girl's hand to shake.
"My name is Jeanette, remember that!" She said smiling then left from there.
"Eww... so arrogant, she's feeling proud as if she's about to pass the third level exam!" Yuriel said dismissively while sticking out his tongue, making a mocking face at Jeanette who was walking out the door.
"Are you close to her?" Esmeralda asked Yuriel.
"Huh, that arrogant girl... every practice she makes comments about me. Even called me a fat stupid pig!" said Yuriel irritably as he raised his chin and folded his arms across his chest.
"The day after tomorrow is the weekly practical class, she will definitely deliberately sit close to me just to criticize my magic spells!" said Yuriel again.
Esmeralda nodded, she didn't want to ask any more questions, choosing to leave the class because the class hour had ended.
...
This was the school hall, very large and grand. There are sturdy walls with candles hanging that will never go out. The floor was made of marble stone with thick red carpeting. There were also rows of plush, red, gold-plated chairs.
Esmeralda didn't know how she got to this place, originally she wanted to take a short walk before returning to the dormitory, but because she was too engrossed in walking alone, she didn't realize she had passed through a winding hallway and arrived at this room.
"Hey, hide quickly!" Suddenly someone whispered making Esmeralda immediately startled and crawled under the chair to hide. The girl looked back, but there was no one making her stand up immediately.
"Stay there!" At that instant Esmeralda's eyes bulged, she was shocked as the hazel-eyed man pushed her shoulder back into her seat, and put his forefinger to his lips, signaling her to be quiet.
Soon the sound of someone's steps could be heard breaking the silence in the hall. The jingling of keys followed, followed by Marylin walking alone towards the closet at the end of the room.
"What is she doing?" thought Esmeralda to herself. The girl, still watching from the crack of her chair, saw Marylin, who was looking around to make sure no one was around, unlock the closet door and see a large box inside.
Marilyn, sticking her hand out, hummed a few sentences, she tapped the box wall a few times to the rhythm of her singing. Soon the sound of the lock opening was heard, the woman then entered the box and disappeared.
"What's going on!" Esmeralda asked frantically, turning around to find the face of the man who was now so close to her. Their eyes accidentally met, at which point Esmeralda recoiled in fear, realizing that the man was a spirit.
"Aaakkh...!"
"Calm down, don't scream! Someone might come!" Pleaded the man trying to get closer to the frightened Esmeralda.
"Stay away... I said stay away!" The girl's scream made the man instantly stop, his body slowly became mist, gradually with a sad look on his face the man turned into air and disappeared.
Esmeralda still couldn't get rid of her fear, she hurriedly got up, and with quick steps she ran away from there.
"This is crazy!"
