《Another Death》Chapter 13 - Second day of school
Advertisement
"The second day of school is here, i wonder what kind of interesting stuff i will learn today" thought Andrej while putting his uniform on, his roommate Mateja besides him was also getting dressed.
"Ah, my partner, let us embark towards a new day of wonder together!" he exclaimed full of pride.
"Partner!! Since when was that decided?"
"Every hero has his own partner, and you are worth of being my partner!"
"I see, good for me" Andrej said quietly, putting his shoes on and going to the classroom with his roommate, they barely managed to cilmb up to the third floor.
"I think that we are a little late" Andrej said as he and Mateja stood quietly in front of a closed classroom door, with almost no noise from the other side.
"Mateja star kick" Yelled Mateja and almost broke the door, again.
"The passage is open, partner!"
"Thank you" Andrej said annoyed and went to his seat.
"What are you doing you morons!" exclaimed the professor who was in the front of the classroom.
"I was just testing the quality of this door miss, to se if this school is worthy of housing a future hero!"
"Future hero yeah right, now go to your seat before i make you go" she said and immediately Mateja's heroic pride all vanished, and he quietly made his way to his seat.
"Now then, for these door breaking morons that arrived late, my name is Irina Pavlova, and i will be your teacher of history of the people and magecraft"
"I am not a moron miss, i am a hero!"
"God, can you shut your mouth for one second??"
"I will overlook these comments just this once, but let us begin with the first lesson"
"Yes, finally!" Andrej thought and pumped his fists in his head.
"But before i teach you actual history, it is mandatory that you know the creation myth, does anybody here know about it" Nobody raised their hands.
"Okay, so the creation myth, also known as the legend of the lost god, is a legend that once, 1400 years ago, the world was perfect and like a utopia, but one day a girl was born, she was really beautiful with snow white skin, but her soul showed highly unstable and evil magic properties, so she was shunned by the society and her own parens, and was considered an impurity in the pure world"

"Wow this story is quite sad, it's like me in my previous life" Andrej thought and continued listening to the legend.
"Then, one day when she was fourteen, her evil reached its limit, and she snapped, her power was strong enough that she split the world into eight different universes, and caused a total war to begin which caused an unfathomable amount of victims, it took all of the strongest mages to create a barrier powerful enough to seal her soul, but the world never returned to its original shape, and her seal became the gateway between the eight universes, in society called the Janus gate, many people call that girl the 'god who lost her way' so that is where the tale of the lost god comes from"
"Oh wow, thank god that this is only a myth, or else she would be a infinitely bigger problem then Chernobog"
"But that is only a myth, now a story some of you maybe intersted in" she said while eyeing a certain boy in the front of the class "a brief story of the first hero of the Beodor Kingdom, Jurij Malchatov, and his fight against the Dark Order"
"I may know this one, i remember reading a book about it sometime ago"
"Miss, is it about when he defeated their leader, Emanuel Stus?"
"Correct! Name?"
"Andrej Antonov"
"You are more smart than you look" she added.
"Was that an insult again??"
"Does anybody else know about this story" all of the class raised their hands.
"Then i suppose there is no need to retell it now" then she looked at the clock on the classroom wall "Okay, the class period finishes in two minutes, do whatever you want just don't break anything and dont be loud"
Immediately, Anya turned around and faced Andrej.
"Idiot, what was that scene earlier?"
"Just Mateja and his stuff"
"Partner? So you are with him!"
"No, no, i didn't even decide that!"
"Hmph! If you say so"
Then the bell rang, and professor Irina left the classroom, immediately the entire classroom erupted into chatter and noise, before the second professor came, it was the same old man from yesterday.
"Good morning class"
"Good morning!"
"Even though we already met each other, let me introduce myself again, my name is Vladislav Lishkovich, and the subject i teach is basic magic theory"
"You didn't have to repeat that, but okay"
"Now then, let me quickly go through this first lesson, for i am sure most of you know this information"

"Magic is the art of commanding the mana in your body, and the mana around you, to do various actions" he started explaining "Mana is the force which is used to cast magic, mana is actually dervied from the life force, and all living beings possess mana, some more than others, but only humans can completely control it, animals who can't control their mana become known as magical beasts, but you will learn about them at a later date. Now, for humans, magic can be derrived into six atrributes, does anybody know what those are?, How about you young lady?" he said and pointed at Anya, who quickly stood up.
"The six attributes are earth, fire, dark, water, light and wind" she said, with some hint of uncertainty.
"Correct, you may sit down please"
"Woohoo!! I got it right!"
"Now then, every human has an affinity for a attribute that they are born with, and they can only master that attribute fully, but there are also some rules for that, does anybody perhaps know what they are, what about you boy" he said and pointed at Andrej.
"You cannot learn any spells of the attribute that is opposite of yours, for example if your affinity is water, you can not learn fire, as water and fire are natural opposites, other opposites are dark and light, and wind and earth, however, to add on to the water affinity example, you could learn both wind and earth, as you can't one hundred percent master either, so they wouldn't cancel eachother"
"Good job, now then, you heard the boy, this lesson is over, go grab something to eat now" as he said that all the students quickly stormed out of the classroom and towards the school's cafeteria, Andrej, Anya and Mateja took their respective breakfasts for themselves and sat around a table, before the school bells rang and multitude of students rushed to the cafeteria.
"So, for the crafting project, wanna work together again on this one" Katarina asked Ivan as they entered the cafeteria.
"Not now, i have found my first love" said Ivan in a daze.
"You say that for every pretty girl you see, you even said that for me" she said as she hit him on the back of his head.
"I am serious this time, she is my destined one"
"You are never serious, but who is the unlucky one who caught your attention?" Katarina asked.
"She is over there" Ivan said and pointed towards Andrej's table, his 'first love' was actually Anya.
"Isn't that Andrej's friend, let's go sit with them and say hello" She said.
"Splendid idea!" Ivan added and they both walked towards their table.
"Hello, do you mind if we sit with you?" Katarina asked and looked at Andrej with a small smile.
"Katarina! Of course not" Andrej told her, and she and Ivan both took a seat, Katarina towards the wall next to Andrej, and Ivan between Matej and Anya.
"So let us introduce ourselves, my name is Katarina Danilova, i am a third year student, and i come from the same village as a certain idiot who is always late for everything"
"It's not my fault" Andrej tried to defend himself.
"Anyways, my name is Ivan Sergejevich, also a third year, and the classmate of the idiot girl siting across from me" He introduced himself.
"You are a even bigger idiot, all you do is joke around"
"Well, my jokes always work, remember that one time i put..."
"Do. Not. Talk. About. That." Katarina said with a really scary voice, which made Ivan white with fear.
"Yes madam"
"Remind me not to make Katarina angry"
"Now then, why don't you introduce yourselves"
"Well, you all know me, but my name is Andrej Antonov, first year student"
"Anya Gavrilova, first year, also my class is full of idiots" Anya said and looked at Andrej and Mateja.
"They can't be a bigger idiot than her" Ivan added while pointing to Katarina.
"I will pretend that i didn't hear that"
"My name is Mateja Kazinski, remember it well, as it is the name of the greatest hero that this kingdom will ever see!"
"Good for you!" said Katarina unimpressed.
"Congratulations on having a dream! Keep it up i support you" added Ivan jokingly, but Mateja was oblivious to the joke, and just laughed with pride.
The group of five continued eating and talking through laughs, and the rest of the day was uneventful.
"I didn't expect that school could actually be this fun! I guess its nice to have people who you can call friends" thought Andrej while laying in his bed, then falling asleep fast, in order to start a new fun day as soon as possible.
