I went back to the bedroom door and knocked."Ralph?"Ralph opened the door."What do you want?"I rolled my eyes."I came here to ask if you're staying or not."He rolled his eyes."Wh?Are you staying?You'll have Lyre don't worry."He was going back inside and I followed him."Uh...no.I just wanted to know if you're staying or not."He shut his suitcase."I'm not staying."Then he left with his suitcase.He's really rude.At least he could be saved.
Around lunch time me and Cooper were in the lunch area.He was eating.I wasn't.We were just talking."What's going on between you and Ralph?"At first I acted like I didn't hear it.Because nothing is going on."Rose?"I tilted my head up."Yes?You were saying?"He sighed."Yoa and Ralph?""Yes we are in the same emotion control class.We're also in the same club.But you know this stuff."He sighed."Great."What is that supposed to mean?
Then my grandparents entered the lunch area."My great-niece!"I jumped out of my seat when I saw a old man walking towards me."You've grown so big!You look beautiful!More than how my brother and sister in law desrcribed and showed."I chuckled."I'm assuming you're grandpa's brother."He nodded."Who's your friend?"Then he whispered."Boyfrined maybe?"I laughed."This is Cooper Lyre.He's a Lionclutch and I met him while I almost died."That was the weird truth.
When we got to the manor a boy jumped on me to hug me."Hey Alex."We all spent the day together.My great-uncle is such a goofball makes me question how he got in Dragondeth.Alex is 12.And we're all hoping he'll make it to the academy.If he does I'll be on my third year that year.He's adorable I doubt that he'll make it to Dragondeth.Then I recieved a letter.List of my homeworks and topics to study and practice on.So after lunch I went my grandma."Grandma which room can I study in?I have a lot to work on."She smiled widely."Follow me."Then she took me to this huge room.It had a desk to study on too."This is your room now.Do you like it?We figured if you're staying for two weeks the least you could have is your own space."I turned around and hugged my grandma.
"This amazing.It's all...red!"She chuckled."Yes it is!Your closet is full of stuff we bought but didn't tell you about and the clothes you brought.Your books are also on your desk.Enjoy."I broke the hug."Thank you grandma."Then she left and I got to studying.While I was studying Alex came."Hey cuz."I chuckled."Hey.What are you doing here?"He put a huge book on the desk."I took it from your grandpa's office.Wanna see what's inside?"He's growing up to be me.Maybe I shouldn't be so sure on him not making to Dragondeth.
"Now you're talking my language.Let's see."It was all in latin.Thank God I can read latin."This is a book on transfiguration.Ah...I like this one.Let me try first."I got up and whispered the spell undermy breath and next thing I know I'm looking at a red snake in the mirror.Whispering the spell again I'm back to my human form."Holy crap!You just turned into a snake!"I covered his mouth."Shh...Calm down.If you keep screaming my grandpa will come here and figure out you stole the book and I won't cover for you young man."He nodded and I took my hand off of him.
We spent the next week in my room.I watched him while he tried and I studied.At the end I saw a spell to turn into a flame.It was hard to pronounce and chant.I took a deep breath while Alex was holding his breath."I can do this.I can do this.How hard could it be?"But I failed and almost burned down my room."At least the house is standing."I chuckled."Yeah."For the following week I worked on this and tried to do my studies.
At the end of two weeks I almost mastered all of the book.The book had four sides among elements so I couldn't have done it all anyways.The only thing I couldn't do was becoming a flame.I said goodbye to everybody and got in the carriage my grandparents arranged.
I arrived at the school with that book Alex brought me.Following day classes started.My timetable was confusing.We had a new lesson now.Defense with Professor Revera.Sweet.I changed into my uniform and went to her class after breakfast."I think I'm going to like this class."I was talking to myself but Mari thought I was talking to her."Why would you?It's a just a lesson we're all gonna fail."I chuckled."Fail?Girl that's out of the question."Then the teacher came in and she was like the girl version of Severus Snape himself from Harry Potter.Fully black clothing.Middle length black hair.Wow.Just...wow.
"Who has practiced this lesson before this lesson?"I raised my hand.Dexter raised his hand."Where?And with whom?"I stood up."We studied it together ma'am."She gestured us to get in front of the class and we did as she said."Elements?"We both spoke in the same time."Fire."She backed away from each other."When I tell you the basics I want you to apply it.Let's see who'll stand."We nodded."Fire bolts!"Dexter fell on the ground."Fireballs!"I first didn't do anything.I stopped his fireballs and combined them before I threw it back at him.
"Great.Mr.Bay stand up!"Dexter got up and got back to his spot."Fire Breath!"Knowing Dexter doesn't knows this I didn't do it."Professor Dexter doesn't know how to control it."She turned to Dexter."Back to your seats!Thanks for the disappointment Mr.Bay!"We both sat down and listened her talk and call students on the stand.In the middle of the class she was done with her teaching."I don't have to move forward and I won't but I have a question for you."Who knows Fire Step?"I answered without looking because I was drawing something.
"Fire Step happens when the elemental in the situation is giving her or his full power to defend him or herself against their opponent.It damages the ground they walk on and burns their feet in the process.The damage on the body can be recovered easily by a handmade ointment.Plus side is that their power reaches it's full potential and most likely the opponent will end up getting seriously hurt.With age fire step gets stronger.Not only the power but the damages also.So with age it's more dangerous.As the book on your desk can tell you it can have immense damages if a elemental outside the element fire tries fire step."
I tilted my head up."Was this the answer you were looking for?"Then the bell rang."Class dismissed!"
