"He is actually a small beast," Dante said calmly. "He is here to teach you. After so ti, he will leave."
Alina nodded slowly, still staring at the round, fluffy creature hovering in front of her. Now that the shock had settled, curiosity took over, bright and sincere in her eyes. She tilted her head slightly, studying him as if he were a rare magical pet that had wandered out of a fairy tale.
Fluffy straightened proudly in mid-air, puffing out his fur like a dignified professor.
"What will he teach ?" she asked, her voice gentle but filled with interest.
"He will teach you magic basics," Dante replied. "Core powers, control exercises, and practical techniques. He will stay with you throughout the training."
Her eyes widened with quiet excitent. The idea of learning magic did not scare her. Instead, it lit sothing inside her, a childlike wonder mixed with the thrill of gaining new knowledge. She glanced between Dante and Fluffy, then smiled softly.
"...That sounds amazing," she murmured.
Fluffy floated a little closer, twirling once like a dramatic instructor making his grand entrance. "I am very strict," he announced proudly. "But also very cute."
Alina let out a small laugh. "I can already see the cute part."
Dante watched her reaction in silence, the faintest hint of approval settling in his gaze as he saw how naturally she accepted the impossible, not with fear, but with warmth, curiosity, and quiet excitent.

Alina had expected Fluffy to be nothing more than an adorable little helper, soft, harmless, and perhaps a little silly. She learned very quickly how wrong that assumption was. The mont training began, Fluffy transford from a cute floating creature into a rciless, overly enthusiastic instructor who treated her like a full-fledged magical recruit rather than a gentle human teacher.
From the very first day, he flooded her with lessons on magical theory, energy flow, emotional control, and supernatural etiquette, stacking thick books into her arms and expecting her to read, understand, and morize them with alarming speed. Her mornings were spent studying complex texts about core energy, spell structures, species instincts, and magical safety, while her afternoons were filled with practical exercises that left her ntally drained and physically trembling.
And just when she thought it could not get harder, Fluffy revealed his most terrifying teaching thod.
He created a separate training space where ti flowed differently. Inside it, one hour in the real world beca an entire month of intense study and practice. Alina found herself trapped in endless cycles of reading, practicing, failing, retrying, and improving, while only minutes passed outside. So days felt like years of work compressed into a single afternoon. She often left the space exhausted, her head throbbing, her hands shaking, and her mind tangled with spell patterns, magical equations, and theory diagrams far too advanced for a normal human.
On top of that, she was required to practice core ditation every single day. This was not simple breathing or relaxation, but deep, exhausting ntal discipline.
She also had to identify, morize, and distinguish over a hundred different magical patterns, each representing a different emotional state, elental alignnt, or power frequency. At first, it overwheld her. Her concentration broke, her vision blurred, and frustration tightened in her chest. But she refused to give up. She pushed through the fatigue, the headaches, and the monts where she felt painfully human among supernatural beings.
Dante had told her this training would one day help her teach future generations of supernatural children, not just the current class but those who would co after. Rembering his trust in her beca her quiet motivation. She treated every lesson seriously, even when her mind felt overloaded and her body begged for rest.
Slowly, sothing incredible began to happen.
What once felt impossible started to feel familiar. Her focus sharpened. Her mory strengthened. Her ability to sense magical patterns grew more precise. When Fluffy later tested her with texts about supernatural species, instincts, and magical biology, she realized her ditation training had already prepared her to understand them with surprising ease.
It was hard in the beginning. Overwhelming, exhausting, and intimidating.
But Alina adapted.
Not only did she adapt, she learned fast. Faster than she ever imagined possible.
Even she was shocked by her own progress.
And Fluffy, though he would never admit it out loud, was quietly impressed.

Three days passed, and the basics slowly gave way to sothing deeper and far more advanced. Fluffy stopped treating her like a beginner and began pushing her as if she were already part of the supernatural world, not just a human standing at its edge.
Her lessons expanded beyond theory into layered application. She learned how to sense magical signatures without seeing them, how to tell when a child was overwheld, when their power was unstable, and when their emotions were about to trigger sothing dangerous. Fluffy taught her how to build ntal anchors, small inner structures that allowed her to stay calm even when surrounded by chaotic magic, tantrums, emotional storms, or power surges from supernatural children.
She began practicing controlled spellwork, not to fight or dominate, but to soothe, redirect, and protect. Tiny barrier charms that could soften a child’s accidental magic. Gentle illusion techniques ant to calm frightened students. Energy-weaving exercises that allowed her to redirect volatile power into harmless patterns.
Fluffy also drilled her in crisis handling. What to do if a vampire child lost control. How to react if a dragon baby overheated. How to stabilize a young demon during emotional overload. She studied the instincts, weaknesses, and emotional triggers of dozens of supernatural races, learning how each one thought, reacted, and expressed fear or excitent. Her notes filled entire notebooks, diagrams, color-coded patterns, emotional maps, and safety protocols, all written in her careful handwriting.
And then ca emotional magic.
This part surprised her the most. Fluffy explained that in a kindergarten filled with supernatural children, emotions were often more dangerous than spells. Love, fear, loneliness, jealousy, excitent, any of it could trigger raw power. Alina learned techniques to project calm, warmth, reassurance, and emotional grounding. She practiced shaping her presence so it felt like a soft blanket to frightened children, a guiding light to lost ones, and a steady wall to those who needed boundaries.
It was not flashy magic.
It was subtle, warm, and incredibly powerful.
