"I have an announcement to make, and an announcement that the headmistress personally wants you to know, as it is an important subject matter. So please, pay attention." Professor Lina, our Magicae res oeconomica professor, announced as we ended our class.
Magicae res Oeconomica is also known as the Magic Economics, and out of all the subjects we have, this is personally my favorite. Aside from P.E Class, but our professor there was Professor Shen and he can be a little strict at time, and by times I mean most of the time he's strict.
Unlike other subject, I have no classmates out of the eight in this subject and this is my last subject for Wednesday Classes. It's already 5 PM and we started at 3 PM.
"Hey, August, what do you think is the announcement?" Akachi, a worshipper of Ayao, asked me. According to him, Ayao is an Obinrin or a goddess of the air in the Yoruba pantheon. They're the ones wearing a sky blue uniform, and according to him only ten of them are part of the Yoruba pantheon.
The first time I went to this class, I literally sat at the farthest back since I'm have no intention to socialize that day. Because I met the Chinese students again, and they looked and talked to me again like they idolize me and it's getting on my nerves already. I don't mind being known, but they wouldn't even tell me how they knew me.
Anyways, Akachi approached me, saying that he's too shy to approach others on the front since we're both on the back. After that, we casually talked to each other until we became a bit close. Akachi is a tall, and dark skinned man. Like a native African man. Plus he has a really cool name. Akachi means the hand of god.
"I have no idea." I answered and slumped in his seat. Whatever announcement that is, I have no idea. Matilda didn't tell us anything at our classes, so maybe this was just announced today or yesterday.
About our class with Matilda, the Prima Potentia class, she really planned it with the other headmasters to bring us together in one class with her as our professor.
According to her, none of the subjects would teach us nor help us manage Prima Potentia, because it's a hidden ability or power that only manifests once or twice in a century. The purpose of the Prima Potentia class was not only for us to manage and control the immense power that we suddenly got, but to also know where it came from or how we got it at the very least.
But so far, she hasn't even taught us where it came from. Or what exactly it is. Or why do we even have it. For the first month, yes it's been a month since the classes started and everything is normal until now, Matilda would only instruct us to us the time in her class to show our magic to everyone. To use our magic freely in that room. We can't even go out, if not for restroom breaks. And on the top of that, we're forbidden to talk about that subject outside.
Also, she did purposely meddle with our schedules that time. The fifth building isn't only a room owned by Matilda, but her personal class room. As the headmistress, she seldom teach any subjects, but she still has a room, and that is known as the fifth building. The reason why she meddled with our subjects, is because the subject itself was confidential. She explained that our marks, as we know, can be dangerous. So the Prima Potentia class is only known to a number of people.
But there's something weird about that room. For some reason I can't but my finger on, it feels lighter inside that room. Unlike here now, or any parts of the academy, there's that heavy feeling I felt a month ago in the car, but it would suddenly disappear when we would have our Prima Potentia class. Whatever it is that makes me feel that way, I can't explain it.
