Welcome to Hasbourg academy

The coronation ended on a positive note. The Winstors paid tribute to the new lord of the death mages. George tried to talk to Dvrak but it was clear that after his visit to the in-between he had made up his mind and sided with Charles.

Once home, George forced Reagan to tell her grandmother, who could only laugh at the situation. They then explained to Reagan that a relationship with any of the girls would cost her and themselves dearly. Margaret decided to make Reagan spend a little more time working on her etiquette and sex education. She's only seventeen, but what the hell? She's so promiscuous.

George was a little calmer but more determined than ever to train Reagan as much as possible.

George ran after Reagan laughing proudly and said, "Raccoon!!!! Come back here! You've almost reached the mastered blue light. Come child... face the Amateratsu!!!

Reagan ran off breathing heavily with tattered clothes and said, "Grandma.... your hon has gone mad... Help... Stay away from me... You old fart!

Margaret looked out of the window at them as she sipped her tea , sighed, and said, "I'm too old for this. "

The day of the entrance exam arrived.

George and Steven watched as Reagan demonstrated great mastery of fire and earth, impeccable fencing skills and, to Steve's amazement, her spectral energy of death, which enabled her to cast curses with deadly accuracy. She could cast multiple curses at incredible speed, swinging through obstacles as if nothing had happened. She was even better than the heir to the throne of Malvolius.

They returned home to find the whole household there to celebrate Reagan's success. They partied hard that night, and Reagan was even allowed a drink.

Naturally, Reagan got drunk and challenged a guard to a fight. George sat back and let it happen. The bet was on. Reagan was good, but Hector was an animal. By the second round the outcome was almost certain. George sat tense, shouting advice to Reagan.

The room fell silent as Margaret walked in and growled, "Gentlemen! What's going on here? Reagan... Hector! Who allowed this!

George signalled to the guards to create a diversion. They began to dance around the lady of the house as Reagan and George tried to sneak out. They were almost out... so close to the exit when she suddenly froze the whole room and walked slowly towards the exit, catching the two of them looking guilty and tipsy. George and reagan unaffected tried to speak, but Margaret held up her hand and said, "George.... Really... What a sore loser. Putting on that show to get out of a bet! " She laughed.

George replied, "I bet on my favourite horse. Raccoon was going to lose to Hector."

George then slapped Reagan playfully on the back of the head and said: "Kid... That left hook of yours is gold... why didn't you use it on him?"

Reagan looked at both of them and hugged them, sobbing and smiling. Then she said, "I'm going to miss you so much. Please write to me often. ". Fighting back tears, George hugged the two weeping ladies and patted their backs, looking down at them lovingly. Then he said humorously, "I think we should go and unfreeze them. Margaret and Reagan wiped away their tears and they all quickly left the hall. The unfrozen soldier felt sorry for Reagan and old George. They knew that this time Maestra Margaret was going to raise hell.

The day of the trip to the Academy arrived. That morning George took Reagan riding. They arrived at the top of the hill. They both dismounted and George said to Reagan, "I've made a lot of mistakes in my life. As leaders, we are called to make difficult decisions.

Reagan said with a child's smile, "You?... mistakes?... never."

George felt his heart tighten but continued, "You were born disadvantaged. But I know you are destined for greatness. You are proof that life and death can mix and create a beautiful being. I am honoured to have contributed even a little to your growth. Promise me that when the time comes, you will do the right thing. "

Reagan wiped her eyes and said, "You're going soft on me! What kind of promise is that? You are still young, old man."

George laughed and said, "Just make the promise, Reagan."

It was the first time she had ever heard him say her name.

She cleared her throat and said tearfully, "I promise... Grandpa. Now stop freaking me out. You never call me Reagan. It sounds so wrong. "

George discreetly wiped his eye and said teasingly, "Now! To your sex education!

George said teasingly, "You must not impregnate anyone. Annabella De La Croix is off-limits! Yennifer? You are not related to her in any way. You are also a Tenebros, but she is la creme de la creme. You are a Raccoon."

Reagan replied with a nag: "Ha...ha, old Geezer! I know Annabella is Arthur's. About Yennifer...it is none of your business. I am much better than she is...I just need to learn more about the Lagini's dark techniques."

George mounted his horse and laughed, "We shall see... Raccoon." Reagan mounted her horse as athletically as George and started to race her grandfather.

That morning, Margaret insisted on dropping Reagan off at the academy. She made sure Reagan's outfit looked decent, her hair was neatly cut and the artefacts were fully functional. Just to be sure, she had one of them engraved on her skin in the form of a tattoo. When they reached the gate, Margaret signalled to the guards to give them some privacy and said to Reagan, "You've grown so much. I can't believe the child I carried on my back is now a woman.

Reagan said tearfully, "Stop it, Grandma! I can't cry now. They will never respect me.

Margaret put her hand on Reagan's cheek and continued, "Thank you! You gave my husband a second chance to be a father. You have healed our wounds and brought us closer together. For that, I will always thank the gods."

She kissed Reagan's forehead and hugged him before she left, hiding her teary eyes.

Hector and the other guards bowed and wished good luck to the child they had laughed with, fought with, and technically raised. Reagan stayed until the portal closed, leaving her alone at the main entrance.

She took a deep breath and walked into the academy, looking around in fascination. Steven was waiting for her in the reception area. He greeted her and showed her to her room.

On her bed she found her luggage and a note from her grandfather on a box that said, "Here's a little gift raccoon. Wear it proudly."

She opened the box and saw a sword made of the purest black moonstone. As soon as she touched it, the edge turned red. She smiled, impressed by the craftsmanship.

She quickly changed into her uniform. Under the black robe, with red lines down to her knees, she wore a white collared shirt with a tie, a black waistcoat and a pair of tailored black trousers. To complete her look, she wore plain black socks and well polished black leather shoes. She looked at herself in the table mirror and felt like a penguin in those rags.

A knock at the door snapped her out of her reverie. She opened the door and there was Yennifer, looking as fierce as ever. Reagan tried to keep her composure and said, "Hi there! If I didn't know better... I would think you were stalking me."

Yennifer smiled, her heart-shaped red lips looking so delicious at that moment as she said: "Take it easy, Stone. I am the student representative of the death mages... My luck! Chop chop, let's start this super long...and boring visit.".

Throughout the Academy, winding corridors lead to countless classrooms, each filled with the scent of ancient books and the whisper of knowledge.

The walls are lined with tapestries depicting the brave founders and esteemed mages of Life and Death who have shaped the school's legacy. In addition to its academic facilities, Hasbourg has common rooms for each of its houses.

These rooms serve as havens for the students, providing a sense of belonging and camaraderie within their respective houses. The Fencing Room is adorned with large windows that allow natural light to flood in, casting a soft glow on the gleaming array of fencing equipment lining the walls.

The grounds of the Academy were filled with extensive gardens and enchanted woods, providing the students with a serene and enchanting setting for their studies and adventures. Finally, entering the library, Reagan is immediately enveloped in an atmosphere of quiet reverence. It is divided into sections, each dedicated to a different branch of magical study. Ancient tomes on potions, charms, transfiguration, and more line the shelves, waiting patiently to impart their wisdom to those who seek it.

Yennifer yawned and said, "Come on sport... let's get out of here. It is draining." Reagan followed her when she accidentally bumped into someone. Reagan fell on her ass and the person she had run into had also fallen between Reagan's legs. Reagan, still in pain, closed her eyes and felt a sense of relief as she felt a pair of soft breasts pressed against her. Reagan thought to herself, "This woman's scent is familiar...those boobs feel familiar.". She dismissed the thought and said with a groan, "Gosh... it feels like I just ran into a train". The person replied in a daring and amused tone, "A train, you say? That is rather reckless, Deathmage!

Reagan opened her eyes, knowing exactly who it was, and said in a whisper:" Pardon my Latin, I happen to be the reckless type".
