This class is a special class for prodigies, they can basically come to class or not. But they must make sure to take part in all tests to remain in that class. The class is actually big holding about 48 students with each in a special uniform and some having stars as badges. Apparently the stars are accumulated and then used to buy a seat in this class from tests or from tutors. Phifty has 2 stars and Quentin also has 4 stars, you could see Phifty's effort to fit in.
The class continues with the tutor continuing the lesson on spelling. Some people in the class plan to make trouble later with their whispering and glancing at Nytri. Nytri focused on the lesson at first but she totally stopped listening after 5 minutes. Nytri is staring out the window pass Ophelia who is uncomfortable and wondering why Nytri is looking in her direction.
A chalk hits Nytri's head and she looks at the tutor. The tutor seems annoyed and asks her a question, "Now then Miss Nytri, would you mind demonstrating for us?" The class turns to look at Nytri.
Nytri looks at the tutor, "Pardon me professor, could you repeat your question?" The class giggles and Nytri isn't bothered by it, she knows what she's capable of.
The professor sighs mumbling, "This is why we take tests to not let immature brats into the academy." Nytri heard that and the professor speaks, "Could you at least demonstrate a spell? You should at least be able to do that." He looks at Nytri in exasperation.
Nytri glances at Phifty then at the tutor, "Will any spell do, professor?" The professor shrugs, "Any." Nytri lifts her finger up and fire sparks from it into a small flame. The class watch looking down on her but the professor noticed something is odd.
"Is that all you can do?" A student speaks up, "I at least thought the student brought by principal Tristan would be able to cast an actual spell not some flimsy flame." The class (Almost all) laughs at Nytri.
Nytri sighs looking at the professor, "How's this?" The flame changes into the form of a cat and grows to half a meter, it actually purrs and rolls over on her table.
"What kind of spell is that?" Said a student, "A lame spell to make a cat? Hahahaha!" the class joins in laughter. Phifty looks at all the students laughing and notes them down, those who are his 'friends' tried to laugh and he glared them down.
The professor starts sweating then speaks shocking the whole class, "How can you use magic without incantations or circles?" Silence fills the class. The professor starts walking towards Nytri, "Even without the magic circle, you made a spell capable of mimicking….life!" He reaches Nytri, "Please explain to me. This is impossible!" he grabs his hair.
Nytri squints her mouth in thought, "I guess I learned more on my own than I would've here." This surprises the class and Nytri speaks to Tristan Telepathically, "Hey uhh Tristan. I kinda blew the professor away and he wants me to teach, is that all right?"
Tristan replies, "You ask as if I can stop you. Power is what matters despite my effort to change that and you have it. Do what you think is good. It's the professor's job to teach and you to learn. If you want to do more, feel free."
Nytri glances at the professor and the class, "Ye~ah….no." The professor is surprised then asks, "Why?!" Nytri waves her hand, "I don't want to. Why should I show people who don't recognize the worth of something?" She looks at the professor, "So no."
The professor is shocked, "A..Ack…y…Fi~ne." he walks back to the board and continues with the lecture but occasionally asking Nytri to demonstrate more so he can find her secrets. Nytri did and he saw nothing.
The class ends with the tutor bidding everyone farewell, "Good day everyone. Oh and Nytri, could you come see me when you have the time in the staff room? Please." He smiles bright trying to hide his ulterior motives but Nytri replies, "I will when I feel like being questioned over and over." The tutor sighs depressed and walks out of the class.
Phifty walks to the back of the class to Nytri, "You didn't have to turn him down like that." His friends are with him and they thought he's here to cause trouble for Nytri. Nytri sighs, "Somehow I could see how that was going to end." Nytri looks at him, "I didn't know you were here the entire time."
Phifty sits on Nytri's table, "Yeah, I was exploring with the others gathering fame and whatnot." He spreads his arms wide, "Next thing I know, I've got a letter inviting me here. What about you?"
Nytri sighs, "My 'father' said I should come so I can use my time for something else." Phifty is surprised, "Didn't he say better?" Nytri shakes her head, "Nope, until Isa messes up I'm not getting involved. Besides, she does a better job making things everyone can use. When I do it, it turns out being something only I can use."
Phifty chuckles, "You are building for 31 people afterall." He gets up, "See you later, I'm heading for lunch." Nytri waves, "Alright, see ya." Phifty left with his group and they're curious about the relationship. Some girls are also curious especially the ones having a major crush on 'Ice Prince'.
Quentin arrives just as the 'Ice Prince' is leaving and smiles at Nytri, "I didn't know you'd be joining our class. You could've told me." Nytri smiles, "Yeah sorry about that. I was worried about the Atomic Fission generator my unleashed family is working on." A girl approaches them.
Quentin is confused, "Ato-what…Anyway, this is Juniper. She the class representative with me." Juniper waves her hand, "Hello Nytri, I'm Juniper Arclave." Nytri acts surprised, "From the Arclave Confederation?" Juniper smiles wide, "Yes, nice to meet you."
Juniper is the class representative. She has a chivalric nature with blond hair, awfully tall and a model of the class. Oh yeah, she has ulterior motives coming to Nytri. So does Quentin.
Quentin nods at how smoothly the conversation is, "Umm Nytri, would like to go for lunch with me…us?" Juniper glances at Quentin and giggles.
Nytri nods and glances at Ophelia who's up, "Hey umm Ophelia, can we grab lunch together?" Nytri points at the 2 with her thumb.
Ophelia glances at Nytri and the 2 with her books in her hands to her chest, she squeezes her books looking very nervous. Quentin stares at Ophelia, "I don't think I've seen here before."
Juniper smacks him on the head, "She's been with us since the semester begun." Then she looks at Ophelia in thought, "Poor thing, the others must be getting to her."
Ophelia looks down nodding slowly, "I will….if you'll have me." Nytri smiles holding Ophelia's hand, "Then I'll have you." She giggles, "Let's go!" she starts pulling Ophelia with Juniper and Quentin walking before the 2.
Juniper glances at Quentin and he glances back, they both nod. Their thoughts, "We must protect her from the faction bullies." Juniper is the class representative and often stands up for her class mates, that is why most like her except the abusers. Quentin is also on the disciplinary committee so he can very well make their lives miserable, so they don't misbehave when he's there.
The 4 enter the academy cafeteria and get to having lunch. Nytri purchases fries with a sandwich, Ophelia was nervous so Nytri bought food for her. Apparently she's never been to the cafeteria before. Juniper and Quentin were buying when a student walks up to Nytri, "What is a commoner like you doing in a place like this?" She points at Nytri.
Nytri raises a brow looking at her, "And who are you?" The student puts her hand on her chest with pride, "I'm the daughter Duke Bucha of Falshurx, Fil-" Nytri cuts in, "Wait, you're this arrogant because of your house's achievements when you've done nothing? Doesn't that make you a failure of such a place?"
Nytri's words stabbed her deep and the noble girl speaks with rage imminent, "How dare you, I'm a genius even in my family. I was sent t-" Nytri cuts in, "Yeah, I don't care." And Nytri waves her hand for the Falshurx girl to buzz off. The Falshurx girl sees Juniper and Quentin coming so she concedes.
Nytri chats with her group but the Falshurx girl with her group return to class to doodle on Nytri's table and does same for Ophelia. They hid Ophelia's things but Nytri came with nothing so they couldn't do anything about that.
Nytri speaks with Phifty telepathically, "Hey kid, apparently some noble brat from Falshurx is acting all high and mighty. What's up with that?"
Phifty replies telepathically from the academy library, "Yeah, turns out news of Falshurx decline hasn't reached here. The previous visiting was before the war so she still thinks Falshurx has attacked Azuria and won. She tried to make me her companion but I hate people with ugly personalities."
Nytri speaks, "Good to know." Quentin is surprised, "What is good to know?" Nytri points at the sandwich, "This has some quality eggs, glad I know." She smiles. Quentin assumes Nytri to be weird but he likes her.
They move on to the next lesson which is a spell casting practical lesson. Nytri caught sight of Tristan glaring at some delinquents putting them in order and the infirmary. They chatted for a bit before the next class started, another professor enters the class. Nytri notices the mess on her table but she cleaned it before they entered class so Ophelia didn't have to worry cleaning or finding her items. Those nobles were shocked.
"Good day to you all, oh the new student." The professor speaks, "I'm professor Gwyneth, pleasure to meet you Nytri." She smiles at Nytri leaving Nytri puzzled on why this professor is reacting like that towards her. Nytri's thoughts, "Aren't almost everyone arrogant jerks who think they're better than everyone and try to use their outside status to ruler over and Tristan kicks them down?"
Professor Gwyneth chuckles at Nytri reaction and addresses the class, "Alright everyone, it's time for the practical lesson. As usual, this is a class to demonstrate what you have learned. I will answer any questions you might have." She leads the class to a training room. The students get to work on practicing their spells with free potions to assist them, though it's not necessary for everyone to do something. So Nytri, Phifty and his group hang by the side, Ophelia is working hard on a spell and some practice while others use this to gossip.
The group led by the Falshurx noble and other nobles walk towards Nytri's group. This girl seems to be a princess and leads the group. She mocks Nytri, "Hah, it seems that little trick you pulled in class is all you're good for." Her friends support her and she continues, "How about you stand outside commoner this is not a place for you. And take that outcast elf with you." She looks at Phifty, "lord Phifty, you do not need to lower yourself to the likes of someone like her." Points at Nytri then continues, "How about you spend some time with us, we recently discovered a nice place in town."
Nytri chuckles and the Falshurx girl speaks up, "What is so amusing? Someone of your standing should not stand beside lord Phifty."
Nytri glances at them still chuckling, "Your stupidity amuses me is all." The group is shocked and one dares to get close to Nytri to slap her, "How dare you!"
Phifty grabs her hand, "If you wish to lay your hand on one of my people….I'll break it" He glares at them and they shudder. One from the group point at Nytri, "She is an Azurian? Even so, a commoner like her has no reason to stand in the midst of nobility."
Nytri laughs, "Hehehehe, you don't even bother to do a background check." She holds her belly laughing, "Boy I can't wait to see how this plays out. Hehehehe." her thoughts, "I know, I'll ignore them no matter what. I'd like to see their reaction."
Nytri's words stick to their minds, yet they still try doing stuff against her.
