[ 19 ] Good day, gone bad

After the drama happened in the dining hall, I went to attend my classes with Nova.

Today was a flying class. This class only came one time in the whole week, on the first day of the academy. It got cancelled because of rain.

When the next class happened, we got some subtle training first.

Like experiencing training in a gravitational box. It went for three whole classes for me, and my result was also pretty good in it. So I was one of the first students to try it in class.

Other students will get more training in the gravitational box before riding on an actual flying broom.

Safety issues were quite considered by the Magic Academy, despite the fact that all students had to sign a "Your death has nothing to do with us; be responsible for it yourself" contract.

I am happy; in fact, I can finally experience it now, by myself.

I have experienced flying but have never actually ridden on a broom.

You need a license either approved by the Majesty of Magic or the Magic Academy to run a flying broom in the city.

Without that stuff, exalators will see you as a law-offender. 

Most wouldn't want that, and neither do I.

I slowly sat on the Flying Broom. It might not look like it, but they are, though their intelligence is very low.

You just need to be gentle with them; that's all they want in return for obeying you.

With a gentle push on the flying broom, I was flying in the sky.

I gently closed my eyes and felt cool winds brushing past my face. I looked down at my classmates; some of them were still trying, while others had already flown into the sky.

I was probably on the highest. I let my broom guide me. It was really fun to travel in the sky.

The coolness and the rush of wind were very comfortable. I could see the whole Magic Academy from the sky; it was really majestic to someone who lived his whole life in an isolated city like me.

I felt really regretful when the teacher told us that class was over. But luckily, my performance impressed the teacher; my flying license was going to be applied on my first try.

A license with an A grade is partially satisfying for flying lovers.

Almost everything is divided into grades in our world. There are five main grades: A,B,C, and D.

And E.

Thier is also added as an additional (+) in a lot of new or historic places.

The Official Majesty of Magic uses normal grades in their quality checks.

But a lot of big and small shops have started using (+). 

Even Magic Academy uses (+) to grade the students.

I walked towards the abandoned garden, which I particularly like here; there is quite isolation from the rest of the academy here.

Unlike the other gardens, those are flooded with students.

I summoned a small water ball with magic to water my planted plant.

It was called Withered Autumn. It's my favorite tree. It partially didn't need much care, and it cleaned up the air and pollution despite looking so dead from outside. 

It is like a withered old tree, but it grows beautiful white and grew-looking autumn leaves in the month of February yearly.

It looks distant and different from other trees. A lot of people don't like it because it's black, grey, and white. Which kind of looks like it's associated with death.

But still, I think its beauty is worth admiring; it has a long life span and a fast growth rate.

It might mature next year.

I sat near it; it was calm and peaceful. I didn't realize it when I felt asleep near it.

When I woke up, it was already dark. I checked the time on my ring; it was 7:30. There are one and a half hours left before the dorms close.dorms close.

Suddenly, there was a growl in my stomach. It's been quite some time since I last ate something. So, I started to walk towards the dining hall.

It only took around 30 minutes for me to eat enough to fill my stomach.

I thank those House Elv guys for making such tasty and delicious food.

The only problem with House Elv is that they don't serve food outside of certain times.

Like in the morning between 6 and 8 AM, in the afternoon between 12 and 2 PM, and at night between 6 and 8 PM.

As for other times, there are servel food stalls in the magic market of the academy.

You can also buy some emergency food from the vending machines in front of the male and female dorms, respectively.

I walked toward my room. I chose a really remote hallway to go back to. 

There would be fewer people to disturb me this way. 

Just as I was walking, someone grabbed my hand and dragged me into a corner. 

I tried to rise but failed.

I was a little shocked; whoever this individual is, surely isn't your average student to drag me like this.

I was helplessly dragged along by this person. They had already covered my mouth with something, so I couldn't scream. But, to be honest, I didn't know anybody in this academy who could actually protect me.

I only knew Nova; his strength is not enough to beat this guy. He might be sleeping in his bed peacefully...at the moment.

The feeling of helplessness hit me again. As much as I hate it, it comes again to haunt my peaceful life.

I was thrown on the concrete floor of a secluded, dark corner.....

Exalator = Magic Police

I don't know if this word even have a meaning, I just came upon it randomly.

But yeah, I think it has meaning of - Someone with authority or working for authority.

If not anywhere else, in this book it has that meaning.
