13 Newly found determination

After finishing her meal, Isabelle looked around the room as if she were looking for someone.

"So uhm, wheres.. Balthy?" Isabelle asked one of the fairies.

"The professor left a while ago, he asked us to guide you back to Althrea, and oh." The fairy flew away then came back with a set of clothes.

"Change into this, this will serve as your uniform miss"

Isabelle accepted the clothes then changed into them. After a while, Isabelle came back with the uniform and the fairies eyes sparkled then happily flew around her observing every part of her.

"Missy missy, the clothes suites you well, isn't it sis!"

"Yep. It suites her well", "And oh. we forgot to introduce ourselves, My name is Fenli and this is-"

"Hello missy I'm Hanli!"

The fairies introduced themselves. Although there are few more fairies inside the room, only these two introduced themselves.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Isabelle, Isabelle Lauren" After she introduced herself, the fairies guided her back to the portal to Althrea. After entering the portal, Isabelle once again encountered a big problem. She was lost yet again.

Yesterday after Balthazar took her in. Isabelle only followed Balthazar and did not memorized the path, though Balthazar keeps on telling her the directions, The words Balthazar said to her entered her ear and left to the other. Who can blame her? after all she was still weary of Balthazar at that time.

'Why the heck does this school doesn't tell you the directions!' After a while of wandering the area. Isabelle finally finally found someone, she approached the person and ask for directions.

"Uhm, sir I'm currently lost and I'm trying to get to my class, here's my ID" The person looks like one of the professors of Althrea so she just assumed that he is, Isabelle showed him her ID then the person examined it then glanced at Isabelle.

"What a coincidence, I'm also on my way there. Follow me."

Isabelle bowed then followed the person in front of her. The person keeps on stealing glances at her then sighed.

"Girl, Sir Balthazar is the most respected Mage all over the continent. That man only has two known apprentices. One is professor Celestina, and the other, The emperor of Brethlia. As you can see, all great people. I don't know what he sees on you."

"Sir are you saying that I don't deserved to be here?" Isabelle stopped her steps and looked fiercely at the man. The man also stopped walking then looked at the girl behind him.

"For now, But you can always prove me wrong"

"Then I will do that"

"Do what?"

"Prove you wrong"

The man turned his head away from Isabelle then continued to walk into their destination. Isabelle followed him with her newly found determination.

Soon, she arrived in her class. She looked around looking for someone, then she spotted her friend waving at her. Isabelle smiled then quickly went to her friend Ishkaria.

"Isabelle!! I missed you!, I was so lonely at my dorm without you Isabelle" Ishkaria Hugged Isabelle tightly then began to sniff all over her body like beast. Isabelle chilled her neck to calm her down.

Isabelle looked around the classroom and saw a lot of unfamiliar faces. Variety of students all around the world. There was even a dwarf among them.

"Oh right Isabelle, how are you last night? did he forced you to do something? did he mistreat you? are you forced to sleep in the dungeons?" Ishkaria asked with full of concern.

"Uhm, it was all right, it was the opposite actually. And that place was, hmm how do I explain it. Comfortable and unique, and oh! Fairies, There were Fairies and Pixies in his place."

"Really?!... ehhh good for you then, the dorms are pretty decent, but I would like to see a fairy with my own eyes too" Ishkaria felt a little jealous. Ever since she was a child, Ishkaria always wanted to see and play with a fairy. Well, aside from acquiring the scent of The high queen of the elves.

The door opened then a person entered the room, everyone else inside went silent as they saw the man walking in the middle of the room. Isabelle's eyes widened.

"My name is Steaven val Dugou and from this day onward, I will be your magic instructor."

Steaven looked at Isabelle in a smug face.

Isabelle: 'He-he, I'm **** ain't I?'
