"Hey! Look what I brought back!"
In room 327, building 1 of the female dormitories at Repin Spellcaster Academy, Galina struck a proud pose in front of their door.
As the top Magic school in the Sutton Kingdom, even the basic student dorms were two-person rooms.
"What kind of junk did that guy give you this time?" her roommate Uffie asked without looking up, completely absorbed in her practice problems.
She was preparing for the Magic Wand Cup Inscription Competition. In the preliminaries, some unknown Wild Mage had outranked hundreds of students from prestigious academies like hers, so the pressure was on.
"What do you mean, 'that guy'? He's my boyfriend, you know!"
"Does he know he's your boyfriend?"
"Of course! He gave me two of the most sought-after premiere tickets for *Holy Mountain Journey*. Do you have any idea how much these tickets are being scalped for right now?"
Galina pulled two shimmering, golden tickets from her expensive, handmade bag.
