The sunlight streamed through the window, spilling across Damon's desk where he sat, a thick book on magic history propped open in his hands. Dark circles marred his face, evidence of a sleepless night. With a deep sigh, he flipped the final page, scanning the last paragraph before snapping the book shut.
Stretching his arms above his head, he yawned.
"With this, I've more or less caught up with the first-year curriculum…"
He wasn't about to be caught lacking in theoretical exams or tests again. After his previous humiliation, he had made it a point to read through the entire syllabus for the year, summarizing and taking meticulous notes to commit it all to memory.
What happened last time would never happen again. As for Marcus Fayjoy, the one who caused it... his reckoning was coming.
