First Lesson I
Arthur's party made their way to the classroom after a quick stop at the cafeteria. They hurriedly munched on sandwiches as they navigated the busy halls of the academy.
"Keep up," Alicia urged, glancing back at Eveline and Arthur, who seemed far too relaxed for her liking.
"We're literally walking as fast as we can while eating," Arthur quipped, biting into his sandwich.
"Then chew faster," Alicia shot back with a smirk, quickening her pace.
The group barely slipped into their seats just as the bell rang, the classroom filling with the low hum of murmurs from students settling in.
Moments later, the door swung open, and a strikingly elegant figure entered. The murmurs quieted instantly. The woman who stepped in carried herself with an effortless grace, her long, golden hair cascading over her shoulders, her piercing brown eyes scanning the room with a keen sharpness.
