Adrianna was speechless.

"I was appointed by the ministry the moment you joined Adrianna in order to keep a close watch on you," replied Coral. "There are a lot of irregularities happening in the academy and I had been undercover for a long time. However, now the ministry will be calling me back again after the competition is over."

​​

"But- but why have you come out of your cov- cover?" stuttered Adrianna.

"The ministry wanted me to reveal myself to the professors and the students. Only four days of the competition are left and they want to tell the academy's management that we are watching you closely. Hence it was necessary to tell them who I am," replied Coral as she collected her books.

"Won't the professors try to distance themselves from you?"

Coral laughed, "On the contrary, they are trying to curry favor."

Adrianna smiled. She could never imagine that Coral was appointed from the ministry. Suddenly she wondered, if it was Isidorus who had asked Coral to keep an on her. Adrianna jerked those thoughts away.

"I am here to keep an eye on some professors," replied Coral as though she had read Adrianna's mind leaving Adrianna speechless once again.

Coral left with a smile and Adrianna went to collect her books from the table. She had to attend the potion class.

Professor Lane had been teaching them something very simple so that the students could concentrate better on their spells classes.

Professor Coral had called all of them to a special room that was big enough to be a basketball court. Over there she began with teaching the first spell that was listed in the paper she had handed them in the morning.

All other students who were not in the competition were having the best time of their life. They would keep visiting the markets of the wizard kingdom and have fun overall. The academy was flooded with complains with students skipping the classes over the next few days.

When Adrianna reached palace after the academy, she found that Dmitri had just walked in from a portal. "Where did you go?" asked Adrianna as she walked to the bedroom. She was extremely tired and wanted to sleep.

"I had gone to see mother… she is sick…" he replied with sadness.

Adrianna pursed her lips. She went to take a shower. Cora was the last thing that she wanted to think about. When she came out she found Dmitri reading his father's diary with a glass of wine in other hand.

"Did you find that girl?" she asked as changed into something comfortable.

"No… I was wondering how far around that cave should we go to find her? My father mentioned that her mother had died when she was young. So I have asked my men to find girls whose mothers have died when they were young and whose grandfathers are called Ed." He took the glass on his lips and took a sip.

Adrianna crawled to him to lie down beside him, but a servant appeared. "My queen, Mihr is here. He says that he has to teach you some spells."

Adrianna was exhausted from the day and wanted to just rest. She had never thought that Mihr would actually come and teach her without her inviting him. Dmitri chuckled. "Go Adri, it is going to benefit you."

"I don't want to. What if he kills me using a spell?" she asked like a child.

Dmitri became serious. "Do you think that with so much security around you, he can harm you?"

"No…"

"Then get your ass out of the bed and learn those spells. I am sure if he is teaching them, they must be important."

He went back to reading as Adrianna dragged herself out of bed.

When she reached outside to meet Mihr, she noticed that her security team was standing close. Even Fleur had come. They were all looking at Mihr suspiciously.

Adrianna looked at him and said, "Hello Mihr, how is Nefasky?"

"Thanks for all that additional help. She will be discharged after a few days." He replied knowing that it was Adrianna who had recommended more help.

"You are welcome."

"I am here to teach you some important spells."

"But Professor Coral is already teaching us," she replied still reluctant.

"Do you know that almost all students are learning underhand tricks – spells that will go undetected?"

Adrianna narrowed her eyes. "Okay teach me now," she said after a long pause. The security team stepped a little away.

"The first one is the "Aphasia". This one is cast to use your blood in order to create material things. I will teach you how to cast it and also how to defend yourself from it. It can be very painful if a large amount of blood is taken out, but would go undetected if a few drops of your blood were used at a time. So your opponent would use this spell and try to make you weak. If this spell is cast five times, you will become very tired."

Without wasting time in the next one hour, Mihr taught her how to cast it and how to deflect it. The only way to detect it was that the material that was made was always red in color.
