Arcanum - Chapter 37

Chapter 37






Walking up the next morning with a strange bell running sound in my head . Exactly the same as the one notifying us that it was time for dinner . Groggily waking up I made my way to my cupboard opening the cupboards it was miraculously filled with several outfits and footwear . 'Ohhh the clothes I ordered must have arrived . '

Putting on something similar to leggings shirt and a belt, I gasped in excitement as I saw a robe . Quickly putting it on and pulling out my school badge clipping it on, fastening my bag of holding on my belt and quickly made my way out doing my hair .

Making my way to the entrance I caught the eye of various students that began taking a quick peek and began chatting quietly . 'I swear if Calista spread rumours again . . . . I'll kill her . . . . '

Much to my surprise the no one was waiting for me at the dorm entrance . 'Hmmm I would have expected Jay to be very punctual . ' Taking a seat on a nearby bench I waited for them patiently, getting excited for my first official day as a wizard .

"Good morning Emilia . " I heard Jay' voice shout out to me, wearing trousers, boots and a shirt .

"Ohhh hey !!!!" I replied in excitement standing up to meet him .

"Ohhh . . . . you're wearing a robe? . . . . " he said a little shocked .

"Yeah . . . . that's what wizards wear right?" I asked a little confused .

"Only during outings or ceremonies so it easy to spot each other . . . . " he replied .

"Ohhh . . . . . " I replied a little embarrassed . . . . "Well . . . . I want to wear it!!" I said trying to sound confident .

"Well nothing wrong with it to be honest . " He answered .

"So what first???!!!" I asked eager to start class .

"Well first is breakfast at the great hall . . . . then classes . . . . " he replied .

"Heyy guys!!!" Daisy voice shouted out to us, looking similar to scarlet, wearing a dress with a plate breast plate and gauntlets with leather boots and her maul on her back . "By the way thanks for the clothes Emilia!" She smiled .

" . . . . . Dressed a fight??? . . . . . "Jay asked as she arrived .

"Yeah in case Calista tries something . . . . " she said winking at me .





"Yeah but still . . . . a little over the top?? . . . " I asked .

"kind of is but I need to get used to holding all my heavy equipment" she answered us .

"That makes sense . . . . . " Jay and I replied .

"Should we get going???" Jay asked .

"Maybe we should we wait for Grace and Helen?" I asked .

"Hmm we could wait a few minutes for them . . . . " Jay answered .

"Okay!!!" I smiled .

"By the way . . . . wants so special about the world tree?" I asked pointing at the large tree in the middle of the whole school

"It's an ancient tree . . . . . There are only 2 currently known in existence the one here and one in the great city Xoria they produce immense amount of Arcannum . " Jay explained .

"I see…" I replied in wonder .

Slowly the courtyard began to empty, "Hmmm shall we just head out?" Jay asked .


"Yeah… we waited enough…" I said standing up .

"Sure let's go . " Daisy agreed

Similar to last night we made our way into the great hall . This hall now being lit with the natural sunlight, we began looking around form empty seats together .

"I think that Helen over there… . " Jay pointed at a blonde hair girl waving at us .





"Ohh lets head there… . At the very least there's free seat . " I said .

We began briskly walking to Helen hoping no one takes the seat on the way there . "Good morning guys! We saved you some seats!" Helen greeted us with a smile .

"Good morning guys . " I replied taking a seat opposite to them

"Ohh thanks for saving us seats . " Jay said taking a seat .

"Good morning!" Grace replied .

"Hiii!" Daisy greeted them with a smile .

Almost instantaneously Jay began grabbing plates of food and fruits, a bowl of porridge, and a large glass of milk and orange juice and began stuffing himself . Daisy also began picking out her breakfast but at a far calmer and slower speed then Jay .

"Not going to eat? . . . " Helen asked me politely .

"Well… . I'm vegetarian, so I'm kinda making sure I don't eat anything I shouldn't . " I replied .

"A… What? . . " Helen and grace looked up a little confused .

"She doesn't eat the flesh of animals . " Jay answered .

"Ohhhh I see… . . how very noble…" Helen replied, as a large shadow loomed over me again . Turning around another robot wasted no time placing three plates of food for me .

"Thank you? . . . " I thanked the robot looking a little confused, showing no response and walked off . "Ohhh wow . " I said looking at the plates of food, noticing one was eggs florentine .

"Ohhh wow what's that?! . . . " Daisy asked .

"Yah… that looks pretty nice . . " Jay said looking at it .

"It's a dish you'd find where I come from . . " I replied still surprised that they have it here .





"So Emilia… what are you planning to study?" Grace asked making conversation .

"Ohh I wanna be a Witch? . . . . . Wizard? . . . . " I replied .

"Sorcoress . . . . " Jay coughed .

"Ohh yeah sorry a sorceress . " I smiled .

"Ohhhh that's nice!" Grace replied

"Was you a late arrival? . . . . We didn't see you on Morndas . " Helen asked .

"Ohhh yeah… something happened so I missed the first day . " I replied .

"Ohhh… hope you're okay now . " Helen politely replied .

"Yeah I'm good . " I answered .

"Was you guys there yesterday? . . . When everyone got suddenly stuck in their nightmares? . . . " Grace asked .

"Yeah we was… . . " Daisy answered .

"Do you guys happen to know what happened? . . " Grace asked .

"Ohhh… . Paul and Scarlet said . . . it was because of a Demon Lord…" I answered her .

" . . . . " They both looked at each other a little shocked .

"It's okay… . it wasn't a real Demon Lord . " I said trying to reassure them .

Out of nowhere another bell sound rang in my head . "Ohh time for class…" Jay said trying to scoff down the remaining food on his plate, pocketing some fruits in the process .

"Ohh damn… . I didn't even finish . " I said trying to quickly get some more mouthfuls before everyone began standing up .

"Emilia? . . are you in the same class as us? . . " Grace asked .

"I hope so…" I replied following them to class .

Exiting the great hall, we turn left walking past several doors entering on at the end of the hall way leading to a complex maze of stair cases all leading to different levels and hallways . Following them up the complex maze of stairways we made to a halfway lined with several doors . The excitement building up with each passing minute, eagerly taking a peep into some open doors seeming students and teachers in active classes .

"This is us . " Jay said opening a large wooden door .

One by one entering second to last last, I was met with an extremely full class room, the layout looked similar to a small Lecture hall or Auditorium, tables stretching the width of the room with each successive table raised slightly higher with benches for seats . Following my group, we walked up to one of the tables near the front shuffling to the centre of the table .

Looking around I could see Calista at the far back, of course her row filled primarily boys and some girls . Quickly facing forward hoping she doesn't notice me I excitedly waited for class to start .

Everyone began bringing out their wands much to my surprise Daisy pulled off her gauntlets placing them next to her and pulling out a wand . "Jay… how comes Daisy and Grace has a wand? . . . " I asked him whispering to him .

"Even though they don't plan to use spells, it's part of the curriculum of first years, so they still have to go through it . " He replied .

"Ohhh I see…" I whispered back .

Looking closer at Daisy's armour, it was amazingly beautiful, flawless shape with no dents and scratch, faint but beautiful etched designs and the edges lined with gold .

"Excited? . . . " She asked noticing me looking at her .

"Yeah of course!" I said eagerly watching who steps through the door each time it opens .

Eventually, an older looking woman walked through wearing a Blue robe lined with silver, with blue and black hair entered the room . I felt my body straighten up excited .

"Good morning children!" She shouted, causing the whole class to go silent .

"Morning Miss Meha . " Everyone replied .

"Okay children… . Today we will be carrying on from last week's lesson on Cantrips . " She announced talking loud enough to reach the back of the classroom .
