Ethan Derberg, onyx dragon, adept of the Academy of Wind and Storms. Border of Onyx Rocks and the Steppe of the Seventeen Winds.

We approached the building where the new ones were supposed to live. The small terrace for relaxation was littered with all sorts of rubbish. There was only a small passage to the door.

– What a mess! – Kayu grimaced with disgust.

And Freckled kicked the leaky bucket, and it rolled with a roar along the wooden flooring. I winced, reacting to the unpleasant sound, and asked:

– Don't be demons! And so my head hurts.

We didn't have to wait long for the girls.

– Hey, guys! They are coming! – Aze stated the obvious when the delegation of adepts turned onto the main street of the campus.

–Who is it with them? – Kayu asked suspiciously.

Human vision was inferior to that of a dragon, and he could not see details at such a distance.

– All the creatures of the Ancient Forest! It's the Ogre! – I cursed at the sight of the dean of the Faculty of Civil Engineering.

No one at the academy liked Estella Krieger.

– If she sees us here, she will deduct points! – Having lost all his bravado, Freckled became worried. “I almost got expelled that year because of her.” The father was very angry and did not want to listen to anything!

“But we’re not doing anything bad.” “We just came to meet you,” said Kayu, not too confidently, whose charm turned out to be powerless against this woman.

– And when did Estella need someone to do something to take off points? – I grinned.

– Stop talking, guys! Let's hide! – Ezeroth commanded.

Without hesitation, the malachite prince jumped over the balustrade and disappeared into the bushes. It never occurred to any of us to make fun of him. Without talking, following his example, we dashed there.

– Move over! – Jed whispered.

– Don't push! – Kayu snapped.

– Are there not enough bushes for you? – Aze hissed with displeasure.

The guys began to push each other, getting more comfortable. The bush really turned out to be too small for four, but it was too late to hide, and it was not worth using magic at all. But if you sit quietly, it’s unlikely that the dean will think of looking for someone here. She is still a household magician, not a combat one, and this difference in thinking often helped us avoid her attention.
