The University of Ataraxy

Part 9

The noise Yutika had made had captured all the attention once again. "How did you do that?" Said an unfamiliar voice, Austen. "That was so cool," said Nyle. "Ah-hmm." The professor cleared her throat. "Excellent." Said the professor, almost whispering. "Our lecture ends here today! Yutika, can I have you visit the physical classes and Medical? And uhm, Lucas- Pottery for you. Anette, um, Medical, Austen Designing, and Anison Green was that? Ah yes, enchantment for you." Everyone gathered back to their spots.

"Any questions?".

A hand was raised amidst the crowd. "Yes, Julie?".

"It's Julia."

"Yeah, whatever, what's your question, girl?".

"Madam, how do you know our names?". "Miss Cubix! That is none of your business. Not any student's. Lectures over!". Before anyone could react, they felt themselves getting absorbed again. And in a moment, found themselves right in the classroom they had been in earlier.

"That was so amazing!" Said Amanda as they stood up. Their professor, just like the others, had vanished.

"She was scary." Said Nyle.

"Can I see your necklace?" Yutika asked.

"Sure thing! Nyle, I want to see your gloves,".

"Here you go,". The three teens walked out with their backpacks on and weapons at hand, giggling with each other.

"Hey," said Anette as she approached Yutika. Their third lecture for the day had ended. And just as they had heard, professor Junilus had bored them to heaven. "Hi."

"Umm, since we have the common medical classes, would you mind going together?".

"Not at all. I'll see you in two minutes?". Anette smiled broadly, just as Nyle had after he went to the playroom along with Amanda. "Yeah, I'll be waiting on the lower floor." Their lecture was in thirty minutes. For them, they had all the time in the world.

As Anette was nowhere seen. Yutika turned around to the curtain behind her. "Come out," she said. Yuvraj showed up, chucking slightly. "When did you realize I was there?" He asked as they walked together. "Curtains don't breathe". Yuvraj laughed. "Did you get your weapon?".

"Yeah. But did you bunk your lectures or what?".

"What, no. I have time until the next lecture." He shrugged. "So what did you get?".

Yutika pushed her dull sword on Yuvraj's hands and whispered, "I have something to tell you."

"You got this?" Yuvraj stared wide at the Yutika's sword that he had just sheathed. Yutika checked if anyone was following them or listening to their conversation. "There's no one. What's the matter?". "There's no one behind us, Yuti,".

"Yeah, there's no one," she mimicked. She had finally managed to get rid of Heather following her after millions of twists and turns. "But seriously, you got this?". Yutika sighed. "What's your weapon then, Dada?". Without a movement, a bow appeared in Yuvraj's arm and a quiver on his back. "Oh right. You're the best student archer," said Yutika, rolling her eyes.

He smiled as the bow, and the quiver disappeared. "Yuti, you don't have powers." He said. His smile vanished completely. "To think that you'd get such a low-class weapon."

"No, you don't understand..."

"I understand you All right, You need to get some good damn practice."

"Dada-."

"I'll see you at lunch,"

"Oh, Come on-"

"Why does everyone keep disappearing- and how?!"
