Tyson found himself in a meeting room of sorts with tons of individuals including ones he knew like Moondrop, James, and Olivia, the eldest daughter of Vespa and Aaron.
But of course there was one person there he didn't know at least put on the people that was standing next to him as a teacher they seem to be furbaxen a humanoid race similar to the others human-like features the only difference is that they have rabbit features that being of course the classic bunny ears and the small tail It is said that this race takes magic in differently too but it's unknown to what degree.
crowded around Are the nine students You're going to be learning from those four of course Tyson recognized a few of them That being, Moxie, Leon, Levin, bingo, Iris, and Jaxon, he also slightly recognized fang who was the brand new apprentice of Moondrop other than that he did not recognize the others but he took note of a few things he noticed that fang was a female furbaxen very similar to Alanis except they had a different hair and ear color with fang having black hair and of course black ears, Alanis had to reverse that being blonde and beautiful blue eyes that go with it If Tyson wasn't already in love perhaps he would go after Alanis.
At this point Aaron had entered the room now with an interesting look on his face and a smile but of course he was keeping his cool. He had a few things to worry about but they were being handled as this meeting was happening so he wasn't going to worry too much about them.
"I'm glad to see everybody's here and of course you as well Alanis, I'm glad you can make it from the furbaxen kingdom."
Aaron announced with a bright smile.
"Oh I'm glad to be here, You proposal was rather interesting, but I look around and I see that some of the others that I know you just invited couldn't make it"
Alanis replied with a twisted smile as she looked directly at Aaron.
"Yes it's unfortunate some couldn't make it but I'm glad to see at least you made it" Aaron told Alanis as the woman gave a familiar smile.
"Right I think I've actually heard of you, your Alanis von rabbit, names a little on the nose however you're part of the furbaxen royal family in fact you're one of the strongest mages in that kingdom Little surprise through here in our so-called hillbilly Kingdom"
Tyson told Alanis with a tone of bitter sour of almost jealousy piercing off his tone.
"Oh Mr Lee or do you prefer just Tyson You see not all furbaxens are like that, despite yes you are kind of beneath me I believe in the fact that magic should be taught to all now I do watch your tongue saying such words to me is rather rude don't you think"
Alanis replied
"You little-" Tyson went to go say as he was interrupted by Aaron "That's enough Tyson"
At this point Vespa also walked into the room wearing more formal clothes that she gave a bright smile
"Before this diverges into infighting let's explain what's going to happen in a few months there's going to be the exam for the spellborn academy we're looking to get as many students from here in, however in 5 days there's going to be a ball in capital empire city, And of course I have decided that you guys should go of course some of you come from royal families and it will be perfect time to mingle in"
Vespa explained that some of the other adults gave a look of concern especially Moondrop
Tyson also seemed concerned but he was trying to hold his expression back.
"Wait you mean like one of those big dances where everybody wears really tight clothing and poofy dresses yeah you can count me out"
Moxie said.
"Unfortunately you will be going as well my wife believes that well you will need the experience"
Aaron replied.
Moxie gave a massive frown and looked disappointed.
"I think it's a good experience"
One of the other students said this one was a male he happened to be in the back. He seemed to be very normal looking, having brown hair and no real unique features to his face.
"oh I tend to agree Roger"
A girl with pale skin and a small red horn said to the boy.
"No I'm glad you agree Hana"
Roger replied to her.
"That's all good and dandy mother but I'm going to assume you're splitting well The 7 of us up to train those nine kids Am I correct in my guess"
Olivia said.
"Yes, however, Aaron and myself will not be teaching or training any of the kids we are busy with unfortunately with that said here's the groups Alanis will train Fang and Iris, Moondrop will train Hana"
Vespa said
Alanis gave a bright smile as she motioned for fang and Iris to approach her.
"You two come along I have much in our agenda and much for you to learn"
Alanis told them with a bright smile.
"It's an honor ma'am I've heard so much about you"
Fang told Alanis.
"Me with her that's surprising but all right"
Iris said.
"Oh don't worry You do just fine darling"
Alanis told Iris.
"So this will be my apprentice. I Sense she has tons of potential. I'm looking forward to training her" Moondrop announced with a smile as Hana walked over.
"It's a pleasure to be even be accepted"
Hana said softly.
"James will be taking care of training Leon and Roger, Tyson will be obviously training Moxie, and Levin. Olivia will be training Bingo and Jaxon now of course that is everybody how you train them is up to you but I do believe all you lot are worthy and can give these youngsters I'm the same level of you soon enough"
Vespa said.
"Of course I will not let you down mother You can trust on me"
Olivia said
"If that's what you need then it's what will happen. So if that's the case can we break from this meeting and begin with what we want to do?"
Tyson asked.
"Yes of course if there's no other questions everybody can take their leave"
Aaron stated
"Well I suppose I do have a few questions, The first one being when it comes to training. Are you allowing us to go all out?"
James asked
Upon that question Aaron grabbed his chin thinking deeply about it for a moment.
"Yes I believe it's worth it, due to the lackluster few years we've had as the wild chapter of spellborn academy our branch has been seen as a joke," Aaron said as he takes a deep breath As he closes his eyes thinking about something momentarily "furthermore I've been told they're thinking of closing our branch which could be very disastrous"
Aaron states.
Upon him saying that there was mumbling among everybody It was like they were all thinking the same thing. You could tell there was worry on everyone's face, at least the so-called new teachers, the students didn't quite understand so they weren't as puzzled.
"I see you now That's why you requested me"
Alanis commented with a Snicker.
"I suppose you could say that"
Vespa added.
"My question is simple Yes I understand breaking away into small groups training It should work but what about big group trainings, like all nine students have one teacher because each kid is going to have a different ideology, and skill set"
Moondrop said with a concerned look upon her face.
This caused Aaron to think for a moment he pondered not saying any words for a good minute as everybody waited for him to speak he looked upon Tyson gave a nod then turned back to everybody else
"I see what you're saying we will arrange for big group trainings as well It could work out"
Aaron said with a bright smile.
"My next question is regarding something else, the vault mission, who are you sending on it, of course we can't possibly take the kids with us so we have to plan accordingly"
James stated.
"An interesting question for a dilemma I've already came to a conclusion about, it's simple, the people going to the West Haven vault are going to be Tyson, David, Gordon, Olivia, Alanis, myself and of course you James"
Aaron announced.
Everyone gave a nod, well everyone besides the students and Alanis, she had a puzzled look on her face she even had a slight eye twitch as well.
"Look I understand you believe in my talent at all but what do we talked we discussed about just training the kids I don't think I signed up for barbaric vault hunting"
Alanis announced with a heavy sigh and annoyed tone in her voice
Aaron gave the woman a look of understandance but also a look of sincere care.
"I understand that I'm dropping this on you but you will be compensated for it so I beg of you please consider helping"
Aaron replied.
"oh if I'm going to be paid I suppose I cannot refuse of course it's going to be pricey but I know you know that If you can cover me and cover my wages then I'm in I suppose"
Alanis said with a tone of superiority.
"It's already done then, now does anybody else have any further questions before we end this meeting"
Aaron said as he brushed his hair back, and studied the room slowly.
"Why can't any of us go?" Bingo asked out of pure curiosity.
"It's too dangerous child"
Moondrop replied in a calm manner.
"But…" Bingo mumbled out.
"No buts, Moondrop Is Right it's way too dangerous we don't really know we're going to see there unlike every other vault beforehand"
Tyson stated.
"Let me get this straight. You expect us to just wait for y'all to get back?" Levin asked.
"No not exactly That's why we're having a few mentors staying behind"
Aaron replied.
"I guess that makes sense I kind have to agree with everything stated unfortunately due to recent things I realized we aren't that strong That includes myself there's a chance if we go along we will just be a liability"
Moxie stated This caused everybody to turn to the young girl curious of her origin and curious of her in general.
"That's actually well put"
Olivia responded.
And with that the other kids even if they wanted to go along accepted what Moxie said and of course what the others said is the truth, that they would most likely be a liability more than anything.
"Just one thing, father. You want us to take one day and train them then go on the mission. Why not wait to train them until we get back doesn't that sound more adequate?"
Olivia asked
"You are so inquisitive daughter, but I understand your concern It is unfortunate that we need this item more than anything I would prefer the keep everyone here however you know about curses more than anybody So if we don't jump on this immediately there's a chance Lilith will be put in danger, hence why we are sending a team tomorrow, It at least gives you time to meet your new apprentices at the very least"
Aaron responded.
"In all honesty I can't debate that father, you're right but it does unfortunately sour my tongue to say hi and go but I understand the unfortunate situation we find ourselves in"
Olivia said with a large frown on her face and she looked towards all the potential students and then back towards her father.
"Now if that answers all the questions I would not want to waste any more time, as that is the most important thing, and we have so little of it in our lifetime so with that being said you all can take your leave and begin mingling and training the younglings and then tomorrow we prepare for the vault hunt"
Aaron said, with a Stern and serious tone but he still held his smile very brightly looking at everybody.
And so with that everyone began to take their leave, one after another until the room was filled with just Aaron and his wife the silence was peaceful.
Aaron gave Vespa a soft hug as he slowly kissed her cheek and bracing her for the small time they had.
