100 Themes Challenge: Cresent Chronology
Chapter 2: Complicated
A/N: I apoloize for the delayed update x.x School is busy. Special Thanks to those who reviewed! If you like this story, please RnR for more! Enjoy this tiny chapter~
"Ah Crap" I groaned, rolling my eyes. Reading the 'Tier I' book on Balance Spells made my head hurt.
"Cheer up Lyntie-poo, you'll get the hang of Balance Blade soon" Bhelle responded sympathetically.
Given the option of a shared dormitory room, Bhelle and I jumped on the chance. One side of the room was painted bright pink (Bhelle's side), while the other was painted purple (My side). The room itself was the size of a school bus cut in half and stacked side-by-side, excluding the Ensuite with shower and bath on my side of the Room and the Closet on Bhelle's side. There was also a kitchenette beside the door, split in-between our sides- a passive zone- and a couch which was sat on the far wall. Standing in the middle of the room, Bhelle and I were practising our newly acquired Spells, until I failed and kinda gave up…. My lack of self-confidence was my undoing and the reason was complicated.
In Mellowbrook Academy, there were 7 schools of Magic to learn- as a Trial Student, we were only allowed to learn from 1 School, to start with. I picked the School of Balance, Bhelle Picked The School of Fire.
Of course, none of you know what those two mean, so I apologize and I'll explain them briefly:
The School of Balance- Balance Students specialize in spells that help their allies, boosting their attack power and other stuff. Balance Students lack powerful attacking spells, but more than make up for that with their supportive abilities. The teacher of the School of Balance- Renee Lancaster was kind yet seemingly aloof, which made her unapproachable by some standards.
The School of Fire- The School of trickery. While being the third strongest School, in terms of offense, Fire Students specialize in manipulating their enemies, stealing their boosts and dealing damage over time, something that Storm and Death were unable to do. Spells like 'Steal Charm' and 'Fire Elf' were the spells staple spells for any Fire Wizard. The teacher of the School of Fire was Curia Hargreaves, was, according to Bhelle, a tad derpy…
Slumping onto the couch, I picked up the Tier 1 Balance spellbook, flicking through it
Bhelle sat next to me, leaning her head on my shoulder.
"Lynteeeeeeee-poooooo" Bhelle chimed "I got an idea - we can help each other: You can practice Balance Blade while I practice Steal Charm by stealing your BBs"
Her blue eyes sparkled.
"But If I can't make a Balance Blade, then you won't have any Charms to Steal." I declared matter-of-factly.
The Stephos girl shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't care" she said. "We've been here for not even a day, we aren't supposed to absolutely perfect anything just yet, so don't get your hopes up!"
"Thank you" I smiled at Bhelle, "We're supposed to meet up with Corey and Duncan, aren't we?"
"We were supposed to meet up with them about 20 minutes ago" Bhelle giggled, "oopsies~"
