Chapter 7

Jungkook's breath caught in his throat, he felt like he couldn't breathe. His hands went up to his throat, trying to pull away whatever was tightening up around there.

It was only when Namjoon slapped him and his eyes snapped open that he realized it was a dream. He was sweating buckets and his hand went up to his neck, expecting a bruise or some kind of sign that what he had seen was true but there was nothing.

It was just a dream.

He sighed in relief and looked up at Namjoon, who was staring at him in worry.

"Hey, you alright? You were thrashing around and I couldn't wake you up just by screaming." Jungkook nodded and got up from the bed, stretching his limbs and wings.

"I'm sorry if I woke you up too early. I don't usually get nightmares." Namjoon smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"It's alright, it's around the time we have to get up anyway. First day of school newbie, let's see how you do."

++++

Magix Academy wasn't as horrible as he had expected. He was actually in awe of everything that he crossed.

From the stories he's read - his grandma's - all it talked about was how different creatures hated each other and sought to kill the other and be more superior, which, to be fair, was his fault because that book was probably more ancient than his grandma.

Werewolves and vampires went into the same class, mermaids were talking to some Dryads - forest nymphs - and fairies were flying high into the sky to have conversations with giants.

He even saw them playing soccer on the field that, on its own, was bigger than the whole school.

"This is so cool. I can't believe I didn't come here sooner." Namjoon chuckled as he summoned his books for his first class.

They were having it in the dungeons - awfully cliche, he knew - and the first thing he saw when he went in, was the bookshelf at the far end of the wall, with many vials holding potions he had no idea existed.

Toad

Drink this and I'll
make sure the Principle never
allows you to be anything
BUT a toad.

He couldn't help but laugh. This must a potion that turned you to a toad. On the black board was some mathematical equations so Jungkook knew this was going to be his least favorite class.

That was, until the professor came in.

"Good morning class and welcome to a new semester here at Magix Academy. I'm Professor Kim Seokjin your Potion's Master and am delighted to great all of you on your first day. New students of Level A, congratulations, I'll make sure to meet all of you soon enough." The man had bright blue and black hair with light blue scales on his neck, cheek, hand and probably more places under the clothes. He also had bright purple eyes which maybe Jungkook was too excited about.

"Now, don't be fooled by the fact that I have scales and am a merman. Everyone knows that the first potion to ever be made was not by a witch, nor a wizard. But my merfolk. I don't want to bore you, so I'm going to try and explain the History real quick because Mr. Min probably won't appreciate the fact that I annoyed you before he got the chance."

And fairy dust, did Jungkook enjoy it a lot.
