Chapter 295: A reminder to all mages.
The impromptu golf gwas ended and classes resumed. Teacher Sigrid stood before her class, hoping that
there would be mess mischief during this lesson. That proved to be a challenge because someone had learned
the art of turning humans into animals and a piglet was sitting in a chair, cross legged in a very human like way
and looking forward as if it was any other student.
The class was full of chuckles, amused at the prank. Sof the students were recording, planning to share this
with the non mages on Mitter.
"Who did this?" Sigrid asked impatiently.
For a group of mages that was always eager to report each other, they all remained silent. Sstudents
pretended to be interested in their books. Others found the windows and the scene outside captivating. Some
looked at their fingers or rifled through herbs on their desks.
She looked at her brothers, and raised her brows. They looked the other way and John even started to whistle.
"So no one is going to admit who is behind the prank?" She looked at Finn and the other normal pranksters. Their
calm demeanor threw her a little off balance. Apparently nobody had even sniffed giggle weed powder because
there was no snickering of any kind.
Sigrid shook her head, she frowned and gave them looks of disappointment. "Shon you....all of you."
She pointed her wand at the piglet and it turned into a boy; Azarius Cohen. Sigrid shook her head once more.
"Why am | not surprised that it is you Azarius."
While the class laughed again, Azarius scratched his head and shrugged. He was not just a victim of the prank,
he was a participant as well, not that he planned to share this with teacher Sigrid.
Sigrid sighed and opened a book. "Because of the silly actions that have just occurred, | have been struck with
inspiration. Today we shall begin with learning about Blabber brew, a potion that makes one spill secrets faster
than tea at a gossip party or ball.
Blabber brew can be divided into three sub categories. The no filter tonic which removes all hesitation and
makes one reveal their honest opinions about something.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe second is the all have loose lips tonic which makes one confess their most embarrassing secrets and the last
is Damn, | should not have said that elixir which makes people say things they regret."
She heard murmurs rising in the classroom and she could feel the students vibrating with excitement. No doubt,
the pranksters were already thinking of all the ways in which they would cause the maximum chaos using the
potions.
She moved out from behind her desk and walked in front of it. Then, she sat down and faced the class which was
nervously quiet. "I know that learning all this new knowledge which you never learned before is exciting." She
started softly but sternly. "And | also understand that it all seems like fun and games to you. Perhaps sof
you wonder why we teach you these things. An elixir like Damn | should not have said that sounds stupid."
Sstudents chuckled, which was not unexpected.
Sigrid raised her hands, gesturing up and down that they should clam down. "What you must always remember
as you prank each other and giggle is that magic is not always a game. When the mages of other empires and
hidden societies get their hands on you they will use such potions on you to force you to reveal secrets about the
empire.
One drop of Damn | should not have said that potion in the wrong hands will make you give up the whereabouts
of your colleagues, the secrets of this academy and estate, the secrets of your parents, where you hide your gold
or silver, secret recipes."
The classroom had fallen silent and the students were not giggling anymore. Sigrid took it to mean that they
were attentive and she continued imparting advice.
"Not long ago, the only occupation for mages in Eldoria was sword mage. Whether you wanted to be one or not
and whether you had the skill for it or not did not matter. As long as you had the gift for magic, you had to pick
up the sword.
The opportunities that you have today to learn other ways to apply magic were fought for by people that were
willing to give up everything for you. I, the Lord mage, and the crown prince. We spent a month convincing the
king that you could all be more. That you could bring value to Eldoria even without swords in your hands. It was
not easy having the laws changed so that we women would be here today.
| say this not because | want your gratefulness but because | want you to learn. Do not just use the knowledge
we teach you for laughs and giggles. Train yourselves and learn because you will need this knowledge should
Eldoria go to war again.
You will need it to fight against mages of the Arcane Assembly that seek to penetrate and control the world using
their church. You will it to protect your loved ones, to feed yourselves and to build a future for your children and
all Eldorians. You are not just mages, you are soldiers of the empire, keep that in mind always."
Sigrid stood up and returned behind the desk. The students were still quiet and there was unease in the air. She
wondered if she had scared them, especially the younger mages.
To lighten the air, Sigrid decided to

"Yes teacher Sigrid." They answered.
She raised her eyes and looked around for a face that she had not yet seen in the classroom. Indeed it was
missing. Emmah Fairfax had only attended one of the classes Sigrid taught so far.
Sigrid did not wonder why. In fact, she was glad Emmah was skipping classes. It was best for her not to learn any
potions or spells. The knowledge would be wasted as she was a dead man walking anyway.
"Tick-tock, tick-tock." Sigrid thought to herself.
Only three percent was left of the energy in that lucky halo and Sigrid could not wait for it to get to zero so that
she would be as free as a bird to live a long life.
