My heart jumped with joy. Now even daddy won't be able to get rid of me!

– Thank you! – she thanked the rector with all her heart and headed for the exit.

– Wait, Mirre! Who is Simka? – Felsen Schwartz suddenly asked.

I even felt hot, but I didn’t dare lie.

– Simka is my simuran. He accompanies me everywhere. But don't worry, escher rector, he won't cause any problems. You won't even see him. Simka is very smart and independent, and he also carries my mail to the Ancient Forest and to the north to my sister… – I blurted out in one breath, realizing that without Simka I would be very sad.

– Won’t he chew your shoes? – for some reason Felsen Schwartz asked.

“No,” I said in confusion, not expecting such a question.

– Well, fine! Then let him live, just don’t catch the eye of Ashsheri Krieger. She doesn't like animals.

– Thank you! – I exhaled again, feeling imaginary wings growing behind my back.

I had just nearly been thrown into the abyss of hopelessness, and the rector gave me a helping hand and encouraged me. I got much more than I expected. Official permission to leave simuran!

– Escher rector, but this is an animal! – the father did not let up.

“He’s almost your daughter’s familiar, as I understand it.”

– But the rules of the academy prohibit keeping animals!

– The rules of the academy have become mossy! The time has come to reconsider each one, which is what I decided to do. We will create a fresh code that corresponds to new realities,” said Felsen Schwartz.

Now that everything was resolved and all I could worry about was studying, I could relax. But there was one more important point. I still had the Dragon Focus in my coat pocket. I didn’t know whose it was, but who, if not another dragon, could tell me what to do? My father didn’t even let me open my mouth, so I had no desire to talk to him about the find.

– Asher rector, I…

– There is no need for thanks, adept.

“But I… There on the street…” I made another attempt.

“I already realized that you were simply lost with joy.” It's okay, forget about this little incident. He's not worth a damn. We won't mention this in future. Really, Duke? – the rector said with emphasis.
