After she finished taking roll, Mrs. Reindhart turned to the class.
"Now. Do you know why you're here? It's because you are gifted in
some ways. We strive to bring out that gift." She said. Casey
turned to Angel. "Okay, this is getting weird."
Lise raised an eyebrow. "This has to be some kind of joke, right?
Defense Against the Dark Arts?" She asked. Troye just shrugged.
"Maybe this is some prank they just pull on the first years." He
said.
"Like I said before, you all have some sort of special quality."
Mrs Reindhart started. "And here, you will learn to harness that
ability in combat. Of course, you could call this a training,
preparation for you in case you encounter some darkness."
Nyx looks over at Magi."What if our powers are not combat
based?"She mouths to her and gets a shrug for an answer.Angel just
shakes her head and opens her book to the page the teacher said to
while listening as Magi and Nyx do the same.
(You didn't miss too much, just people putting things in their
lockers and homeroom, and things are very strange.)
Troye hesitantly opened his book, as did Lise, but she was
intrigued. This obviously wasn't a regular school, so what other
things could possibly be in the book? And, it might have some
answers to her many questions. Troye also popped one earbud into
his left ear, because that was what he normally did.
Anubis stumbled into the classroom. "Sorry...I'm...um...late?"
Anubis slid into a desk, his ears red from shame. "Um...what are we
supposed to be...um..doing?"
"Why am I pipsqueak and Nyx is Goddess?" Anubis growled as he tried
smoothing his hair down. Anubis then pulled out his textbook and 10
pencils before opening his textbook and reading with a glare.
"Whatever...goblin..." Anubis whispered the last part of his
sentence. Anubis then picked up one of his pencils and poked Angel
with it. A sly smile appeared on his face as the tip made contact
with her arm.
Lise had gotten out an additional notebook and was writing
furiously. Troye had put his book in his lap, and his phone on top
of it, both earbuds in now. He would read later, he just couldn't
concentrate right now. But the teacher said they all had a power.
That meant he and Lise had powers too. But what could they be?
