Amenza

Chapter 36

   He looks in his head, then on the opposite side of Ieyr's staircase is a new one. "Well, hello Angi."

   He starts walking up the staircase. "I think there are more stairs here than Ieyr's.." He keeps walking, and then he's stopped. There's a sign in front of him.

'Not strong enough to continue. Keep training!'

   "This is a load of-" He's cut off by him waking up. He sighs and exits his room. Lew's in there sipping coffee, dressed. "Holy crap, how late did I get up?" Lew turns and laughs. "It's the time you usually wake up. You woke me up screaming." Amenza laughs it off. "Yeah, I was busy, I guess. Sorry for waking you." He puts his hand up. "It's fine, I wanted to get up early to train. Anyway, sorry for being aggressive last night."

   "It's fine, you had a good reason." Lew finishes his coffee and leaves. "Ieyr." Amenza hears him groan. 'What's up?' The teen gets some tea. "Why couldn't I access Angi?" There's a moment of silence. 'He says that you aren't strong enough to control his magic power yet.'

   "Are you talking to him?" The man in his head confirms that he is. The redhead sighs and gets ready for school.

   After his morning routine, he walks out to the courtyard and sees Collin talking to Thobim. "Ew, gross. Wait, didn't Ru hand me a note?" He summons the note and reads it.

'Dear Amenza, we believe you have been in contact with a deity. We think this because we have as well. Get back to me as soon as you can.'

   "No thank you." He says as he burns the paper. "Fire..." He turns and sees Sanl, the first-year male jester, writing in a notebook. "What're you doing?" He looks up. "I'm writing down every magic I've seen you use. So far, three."

   Amenza burns the notebook and gets in Sanl's face. "Do not do this again, unless you want to face the consequences. Alright?" Sanl gets worried. "Y-yes, sir." The redhead smiles. "Good boy." Sanl walks off. 'Did the whole Angi thing piss you off that much?' Ieyr asks. "Yes, it did." The man in his head sighs.

   Soon enough, Amenza finds himself sitting at a table, alone. He's drinking juice. "I'm so bored..." He decides to go train, so he walks into Waywrighth's office. He opens the door and sees her doing paperwork. "Oh, Amenza. Have you heard about Spri being a criminal?" 

   "I did. Must have been an impersonator." He lies. Pers chirps, as he knows he's lying. 'Liars go to hell you know.' Pers informs. "Shut. Anyway, is the training room open?" She shakes her head. "Helgardner has closed it. He's having the Aumna family add a few features." She informs him. "Do the Aumna twins ever use it?"

   "They do sometimes, but not when anyone is in there." He leaves and finds the Aumna twins in the courtyard. "Hey, guys." They turn to him. "Oh, hey Amenza. It's been a while." He gives a small laugh. "I guess it has been. How are you guys doing?" They shrug. "I got a letterman for the band," Poinya says, flaunting her jacket. "I got one for cheer," Ancat says, doing the same. "Were you both at that district tournament?" They nod.

   "I don't think I saw you guys." Ancat shrugs. The bell for the first hour rings, but no one moves. "Let me guess, you two also have first hour as a free period." They nod. "Awesome, now I have people to be bored with." He says, laying his head down. "You know, there's a couple of rumors about you going around." Ancat casually comments. He perks up.

   "You've piqued my interest." Poinya giggles at him. "One is that you can turn blonde." He then flaunts his ability to change his hair color. "I see that one's true, another one is that you nearly broke the crystal." He nods. "Yeah, that happened. Then Collin and I got into a fight. Good times." Poinya giggles more. "The last one I've heard is that you and Ophelia are dating."
