With a total of 100 mage coins at hand, Audrey started on her shopping spree. She and Niccoli visited different emporiums. 'Magus Athenaeum' was written majestically at the entrance of the first shop that they visited. As a new student, obviously they have to buy the book for their studies. So it is normal that their first stop will be a book store. There are a total of six books listed on the paper given to them and they look around the library for these specific books. Meanwhile, the library was divided into different sections and they were neatly separated by subject. The bookshelves for Herbology and Beasticology for the study of mystical plants and magical beast respectively were placed side by side. While the elementary guide for the basics of Apothecary is located on the third shelf. On the other hand, the creepy looking books for Arts of Voodoo were at the corner of the st
Brujeria is located not too far away from their dormitory so they were able to return after only a few minutes of walking. Niccoli was about to push the door open when they heard a loud bellow coming from inside."WHO THE HELL TOOK MY SHOES!!!!"Niccoli and Audrey flashed a confused look. The voice seems to be from the arrogant fellow that arrived last today, Jace. As they went inside, they saw Jace flying in rage! He was standing with his bare feet on the floor, staring at his empty wooden cabinet.Just this morning, before he could fall asleep, he took off his shoes and put it inside his cabinet. When he woke up and decided to have a walk for the night, one of his shoe was already nowhere to be seen!! Yet he was alone at that time, everyone headed outside after lunch and to date, no one has come back yet. He was so frustrated as the thief had managed to slip passed his detection. He was usually a wary person and sensitive to his surroundings, how come he had n
Allan and Steve came not long after Andrew and Niccoli had arrived. Followed by Nike and from the looks of how his shoulders were slumped, it seems that he was not able to get substantial news about Audrey's whereabouts.Upon learning what happened while they were away, the group also came up with the same conclusion, this is nothing but a sick joke. It is just that, they can't help but wonder who Jace had offended on his first day at Iridos? And what the heck is with this kind of prank?! Isn't it too childish???"Do you have a suspect in mind that could possibly do this to you?"Niccoli asked his roommate but Jace only shook his head."I don't have the faintest idea of who would be so bored of their life to do this. Can you just guys help me look for my shoes?"The guy said and shortly after, Nike seconded him by saying"Forget it, there is no point thinking about that at the moment. Just like what Jace said, let us just focus o
Early the next day, all of the students of Iridos were gathered at the school's square. Audrey and her dorm mates went there too all at the same time. As their seniors, Niccoli and Nike also tagged along. Other older students were also present, curious to see new faces of the fresh buds accepted in the Iridos. On the elevated platform erected at the very front of the square, the teaching faculty was towering over the thousand students' populace."Everyone, old and new students alike, welcome to Iridos!"It was the Headmaster, Sonny Barimore, who spoke and in an instant, the students quieted down. Waiting for what Professor Sonny was about to say. The headmaster's voice was neither loud nor soft. It was as if he was talking casually but everyone on the square can hear his voice clearly as if he was just talking next to them. Every single word he said seems to travel through the air going directly in their ears. His voice was not particularly loud, but it r
Meanwhile, they did not expect for the orientation to drag on for a few more hours. But after that, the students were finally instructed to head to their respective classrooms to meet their subject teachers. Audrey and her squad headed to their classroom together with the other students. Everyone had a gleam in their eyes as they wait inside the classroom with much anticipation. "We will be meeting our subject teachers soon, do you think we will have a hot and sexy teacher for this year?" "Don't even think about it, I heard that the teachers here are all in the Blue realm and some are in the early stage of Indigo realm, I bet they were bags of skin and bones already." "Besides since they were sorceress no matter how good their appearance and body could be you cannot trust your eyes cause more likely they were even qualified to be your father's auntie. In short, they are way too old!" "Cut your nonsense. It's not as if I'm looking for a partner, hello?
Aside from the one on one introduction of each subject teacher, they also left them with something to prepare for tomorrow's lesson. Professor De Belen instructed her student to make sure to prepare their wands and grimoire for they will be doing basic spell casting tomorrow. Many of the new students got excited upon hearing it. Meanwhile, for their Apothecary Class, Professor Eres said that they will be concocting the simplest Potion available which is the "Elixir of Oblivion". The formula in making this draught is written in their potion book that they are supposed to prepare, the "Elementary guides on how you can concoct your first potion". On the other hand, Professor Huges makes them memorize one hundred Common Mystical Plants for their Plant Mysticism class. The study material for this is also included in their botany book, "Everything you need to know about Magical Plants" It seems that Professor Huges is planning to conduct a practical test on their f
"But Professor Eres, does it mean we have to do it right the first time? How could we guarantee success at first try????""It will be best if you can successfully concoct your first potion on the first try. But of course, it is also inevitable for your concoction to have an occasional mistake here and there. Affecting the efficacy of your concocted potion or even turning it into a failed product. If you wish to try again, you can always purchase another set of ingredients but the expenses will be all yours."Professor Eres explains everything with patience."Well, it does make sense for the school to have that kind of arrangement. Because if the students will just keep on making mistakes on their concoction and if the school will keep on providing them for free, it won't take long for the school itself to shut down due to bankruptcy, I suppose."Audrey nodded in agreement. Well, it seems that she still needs to think of an idea to earn more magic stones i
Only a handful of the students managed to accomplish the decoction of Victoria's Pulsing Heart and that includes Audrey and Steve. They were currently cooling the brew with the herbs in it. After it cools down, the students strain the liquid into a bowl. The instruction for the second phase of the Elixir of Oblivion concoction is more detailed so they just have to follow it strictly and everything will be good to go. "Now on your mortar, you have to put three sprigs of The Seven-Petaled Jasmine and mixed it with two measures of the decoction from Victoria's Pulsing Heart" "Crush the ingredient into a creamy paste using the pestle" Professor Eres's voice echoed inside the classroom as she guides some of the students while she was roaming around. "Put the remaining decoction of Victoria's Pulsing Heart into the cauldron" "Juice your Elfian Worms three times and add two blobs of its thick mucus to your cauldron as well" "Gently heat
"If I'm not mistaken. Steve also passed today's Apothecary class. We can also ask for his help later on once you guys started your Elixir of Oblivion concoction.""I guess he won't be available anymore. He must be overly booked already."This time it was Jace who spoke as he looked at the corner of their classroom. Following his gaze, they saw a group of female students crowding around Steve."Steve, can you teach us how to make a Elixir of Oblivion?""Me too,.. please I need your help, I hope we could be good friends in the future.""Steve is not just good looking, he is also good at Apothecary class. Can we trade insights later during lunch? My treat!" Looking at how their classmates were crowding over their fellow, Allan decided to 'rescue' him."Alright everyone, calm down. Steve will surely accommodate you all once he finds the time. In the meantime, please give him a breather...."
