That Thorn-namasake-of-her-father-but-a-total-snob-and-creep had shown up again! Pests keep showing up today. First that redhead, then that thorn in the backside.
She wondered if the speech of whoever-made-the-opening-speech was done, and the freshmen she met earlier were already back in their dorms. Time to immerse in 'rent's studies. She turned the last corner then opened her dormitory door.
As usual, her teddy bear was in the right place,on top of her bed. That teddy bear felt like Syra's only friend, and she tells what happens everyday to that bear. The books were in a messy pile. The beddings were clumsily made.
"Hey Teddy. You know what happened? On the very first day, there were two mana murders, a third year student and a freshman. That freshman was part of a fivesome which Chills called over to his office to become Ms. Seeker's assistants. So now she has four new frostbitten assistants. But then they were led to the lab by Rouge, and you know how much I hate him. And after dinner, I met that Julius Thorn. I met two of my worst enemies in one day. Imagine that, Teddy?"
She picked up the top book, Proposals, where that dreaded Proposal Number 2 was written, along with theories on what the pages possibly ripped out of Revelations contained. She flopped on the bed and read.
Chapter 1- The Missing Pages...
"Huh?", she muttered. "Why is it suddenly so hot?" She looked out the window.
Rouge, the redhead, along with 3 of the students she met earlier, were outside. They looked like they were fighting for their lives. They were fighting a monster. A Spirit. They won't stand any chance! Spirits just absorb mana like vampires suck blood! Quickly, she grabbed a small object from the pile of objects at the base of her bed. A Communication Crystal given to her by Ms. Seeker "so she can update her on the latest studies!" She had sworn never to use it.
She would just have to break her oath.
"Hurry, hurry, please.."
"Syra, that you?"
"Yes! Ms. Seeker, there's a Spirit attack by the forest! We need your help!"
"Huh? Oh dear..Well, Syra dear, try to hold it off before I call some other teachers to deal with the situation!"
"Wait, Ms. Seeker!", cried Syra, but Ms. Seeker had cut off the connection. "Darn it!"
She snapped the book shut and ran outside. Saving one of her worst enemies was not one of the Top 10 things she wanted to do, but hey, there were three freshmen with him, and they were dealing with one of the entities that even Ein said was unstoppable, so they would need all the help they can get.
She got outside and yelled, "Hey, need help?"
Four tired faces turned and nodded.
"Here's some," and she summoned the flames.
