No.
Please?
Saffron rryster rubbed her temples as I pleaded with her.
Ill just sleep on the couch! I have nowhere else to go!
Dont you have the coin, Salvos?
Yep! But I dont know how to buy a house!
You dont have to
There was a mont where she tried to work her jaw. Where she tried to speak. But sothing in her clicked, and she decided against it.
You know what? Fine. But I will not accommodate you as I have done so so far. You will not be my guest. You will be a roommate. So, try not to make a ss, or I will be lodging formal complaints against you.
Yay! Thank you!
I hugged her and entered the room, throwing myself onto the couch. My belongings were still here, since I had been staying over beforehand. Matthew gave a sidelong glance from the kitchen as he washed the dishes from the night before.
Also, Matthew will no longer be catching your als for you. You will have to find those bugs by yourself.
Aw. But thats fine.
I got to work, rather than arguing with her. I began sifting through the docunts I had been given, trying to figure out what classes I wanted to take for my first term in Mavos Academy.
Ok, so, there are these classes thats a lot of classes. And theyre very specialized, arent they? Although, it looks like these two classes are full, and these other seven classes have been dropped. Hm.
There was, fortunately, a class on space magic. And another on theoretical dinsional movent. Also, a class on summonings, which I thought would be relevant to . So, I chose those three as my main classes.
I had to choose another two, unrelated to my concentration. I chose general rune study as one of them, since I was interested in understanding how enchantnts worked. I wouldve liked to replicate sothing similar to the Runic Scroll of Starfall. Since I wasnt an [Enchanter] or a [Runesmith], I highly doubted Id be able to create anything equal to its level.
But Id have been satisfied with being able to create Low Grade artifacts myself.
Lastly, I had to choose a lab class.
What even is a lab class?
I wondered aloud to myself. Saffron glanced at , snorting.
Lab classes are ant for practical learning, as opposed to the more theoretical lessons given from the other lectures. While the regular classes are practical with examinations that test your abilities on the field, those happen only so rarely. Working in a laboratory will require almost every lesson to be practical lessons.
Huh. And here theres smithing, alchemy, herbalism, crafting, mining theres a lot of things here. What should I choose?
I suggest alchemy.
Saffron peered over my shoulder.
It is the most useful for soone such as you to learn. When you are out in a Dungeon or far from any civilization, itd be useful to know how to use the ingredients at your surroundings to create your own potions, no?
Youre right!
I looked over at the options listed. Most of the alchemy classes were full, except for two of them. One was by a professor William S. Bradern. The other was by [Alchemist] Raymond.
Which of these classes do you think I should take?
Ive heard good things about professor Bradern. However, he is a harsh teacher. For soone like you, whos more new to all this. Id suggest taking [Alchemist] Raymond instead.
Alright then!
I finished filling out the docunts and left to submit them. Before returning, I stopped by one of the gardens to hunt for insects to eat. I snagged a few colorful-looking large critters, filling my stomach, and left with a burp.
It was past midnight by the ti I was back in Saffrons room. Or our room, now. Matthew didnt stay over in the dormitory. He found his own place to stay elsewhere in Mavos Academy. Saffron was already asleep, so all I did was collapse onto the couch, excited for the day that was to co.
Im finally going to begin school.
It was nerve-wracking. There were still several hours before my first class started. I didnt feel sleepy, for whatever reason. Did my [Partial Mortality] penalty vanish sohow?
Whatever it was, I didnt sleep. I had no reason to. I didnt feel like it. Instead, I stayed awake, happily planning all the events of the next day. I also considered the pros and cons for my various Classes.
[Fairy Maiden] seed more appealing than ever to my mind, which was slowly growing more and more tired. But [Worldly Mystic of the Nexeus] sounded cool! And [Dinsional Mage] would raise the least amount of questions.
It was a tough decision. And I yawned.
General Skill [Racial Skill: Partial Mortality] has leveled up!
[Racial Skill: Partial Mortality - Lvl. 3] -> [Racial Skill: Partial Mortality - Lvl. 4]!
Experience is awarded for the leveling of a General Skill!

Salvos, youre going to be late!
I blearily blinked my eyes open as Saffron pulled out of the couch. I yawned, and she shoved out of the door.
Co on Im not going to be late because you overslept!
I stumbled forward, confused at what was going on. Wasnt I awake just a mont ago? I was pretty sure the sun had just risen, and I decided to rest my eyes for a second. But now it was higher up in the sky. It was nearly noon!
Saffron led out of the dorm building and into the street. We were in the west wing of Mavos Academy, where most of the housing areas and food areas were located. I was still confused when I spotted the na written on a building in the distance.
Your first class is at that building over there!
She pointed, before running off in another direction.
Dont be late or youll be in trouble!
I watched her go as I mindlessly headed to Shovelers Hall. I didnt run, for whatever reason. I only realized that I was, in fact, five minutes late, when I stepped into my first lecture room. It was the class on space magic. It was a smaller room, compared to the others I passed by.
There were only a dozen students there, seated rather far apart from each other. The lecturer an older lady with a single monocle was drawing a circular shape on the chalkboard. They glanced over at as I stood at the doorway, unsure of what to do.
She raised a wrinkled brow.
I take it you are the new student?
I struggled to get words out of my mouth.
I, um, just enrolled yes? Im Salvos?
She nodded and gestured at an empty seat.
Take a seat, young miss. And try not to cause any more interruptions.
Y-yes!
I hurried over to the seat she pointed out. I found myself settling down next to a rather scrawny man who was studiously scribbling down on a piece of paper. He had a few books opened up as he glanced between his notes, the chalkboard, and the textbooks he had.
And it was then I realized I forgot to bring my bag.
It was my first ever day in school, and I made such a massive mistake. I was flustered, to say the least. With a deep breath, a single thought crossed through my mind. I condemned the thing that was at fault the most for these series of mishaps.
I hate sleeping!
