"And that concludes today's lesson. Enjoy your afternoon training sessions," Mystica said cheerfully, her voice as light as a spring breeze. With a flick of her wrist, the massive tome floating in front of her slammed shut, guided by her air magic.
"Eh—Mystica?" Ariana raised her hand hesitantly just as Mystica turned to leave the classroom.
"Yes, darling? Is there something you need?" Mystica replied, her playful tone matching her usual demeanor.
Ariana hesitated briefly, then spoke. "Well, yesterday, Sir Magnus mentioned something about us having exams next month. Is that true?"
The room buzzed to life as murmurs spread among the students.
"Yes, he did!"
"I hope it was just a joke."
"None of the other instructors have said anything about exams before!"
Mystica sighed inwardly, her smile thinning. Magnus. Of course, he blurted it out. Such a troublesome man. I suppose it's best to clear this up now.
