After leaving the chaotic Magic Class and heading to Advance Arithmetics (Alegebra basically), the rest of the day is uneventful…
(This was supposed to be in the previous chapter but apparently didn't save when the app refreshed on me)
....
Back in the dorm Taiga is still laughing over the morning's events.
"Hah still can't get the looks on their faces out of my head" Taiga laughs
Arlan however has remained quiet something about this morning bugging him.
"Hey Blaze, about this morning… none of that was real was it?" Arlan asks
Taiga's mouth drops "what are you talking about we both saw the same thing that that was so amazing and…"
"And wasn't real" Blaze confirms with a smirk.
"I knew it, it's been bugging me all day, I honestly couldn't picture you caring about what the rest of the class thought but I definitely could picture you messing with them" Arlan explains with a sigh of relief.
Taiga stands there speechless, as Arlan inquired about what exactly transpired this morning then.
"I used illusion magic" Blaze says as he grabs a book off a shelf.
"Wait but that's elven exclusive magic!" Arlan looks up at Blaze whose smirking "oh right I forgot heh…. Still even though I figured it wasn't real I can't wrap my head around all of it being an illusion I mean I felt the ground shake, felt the heat and the cold even felt the rain, you sure you didn't use sensory magic too?"
"No need to Illusion magic messes with your senses, if it's realistic enough in nature the mind will do the rest" Blaze explains with a grin as he flips through his book.
"Huh?" Arlan and Taiga say in unison.
~sighs~ "you saw the clouds and the rain because you saw them your mind made you imagine you were getting wet you imagined the feeling too, same with the intense chill, you saw the ground turn to ice so you imagined the chill, you saw the ground erupt with lava so again your mind imagined the feeling of the intense heat… it's no different than the desert playing tricks on your mind" Blaze shrugs as he hops off his bed eyes still roaming through his book.
"Also turns out you weren't the only one who realized i was playing tricks" Blaze says as he opens the door and 2 girls and a boy that were just eavesdropping fall in, without a second look Blaze grabs a towel off a shelf and heads towards the bathroom "I'm gonna take a bath and enjoy my book uninterrupted, have fun entertaining our guests".
Blaze leaves Arlan and Taiga to tend to their 'guests'.
What starts out as an awkward moment of silence turns into a full blown discussion.
"Did I hear that right he can use Elven exclusive magic, that's shouldn't be possible?" A young brunette girl with blue eyes asks.
"Oh my apologies, the name's Alicia, of the Huntress family" she properly introduces herself.
"Right…. And you heard right it's a bit complicated" Arlan says feeling a bit awkward.
"How's that possible another race shouldn't be able to use a race exclusive magic, let alone us humans, oh sorry I'm Liam Oswald my family comes from a long line of both high ranked adventurers and weapon enchanters" a boy with reddish brown hair states.
Arlan and Taiga look at each other "should we tell them?".
The others look at the two boys confused "tell us what?".
Taiga pats Arlan on the back "you're up Ars"
Arlan raises finger to protest but let's it go knowing it pointless "ah… technically Blaze isn't human he's a hybrid".
"So he's half elf?" Liam asks.
"No he's half wolf and half dragon" Arlan responds as if it's no big deal.
The mouths of the others drop completely "what?!!!".
"What? We were all there when Hunter Wolfgang and Sky Draconain admitted he was their younger brother and even Blaze revealed that Hunter and Sky are twins" Arlan explains.
"Yeah but we just figured that was them messing with us just to spite the Von Kurt kid" the other girl a young beastkin with green hair finally speaks. "Doubt there anyone among us first years who haven't heard about their reputation for pulling pranks."
Taiga bursts out in laughter upon hearing that "must be something in their blood, wonder whose the worst of the 3 to be on the receiving end of their pranks."
Taiga pauses for a moment thinking about the Twins' reputation "on second thought I don't think I want to know, Blaze's pranks have been pretty tame so far but…" he stares at Arlan then at the bathroom door.
Their 3 guests look at Taiga curious "you know something we don't it's obvious".
"Trust me you don't want to know" Taiga says while Arlan nods.
…..
While Arlan and Taiga are entertaining their 'guests' Blaze meanwhile has been enjoying a long soak in the bath reading a book while also eavesdropping on the entire conversation "heh, don't tempt me" Blaze muttered to himself
