162 Class Demonstration (1/2)

Vy shook her head, ”Oh no, we're not. We're actually here to look for a Summoner, I'm in need of a Familiar.”

”Ah I see, in that case, the best person to help will be Mrs Peterson. But…” Loraine held out her wand and waved it over her left hand.

Almost immediately, a red leather-bound journal appeared in her hands. She flipped through the pages to find the information she needed.

”Mrs Peterson is currently teaching a class, so she won't likely be free. However, it says here she's teaching a class on summoning creatures. Quite a fun one I must say. She might just be able to accommodate you.” Loraine continued as she closed her notebook, ”She does love a live demonstration.”

The notebook disappears out of her hands with the blink of an eye. She then proceeds to whisper words onto her open palm. Vy and Lycster looked on in bewilderment. It was common to use small amounts of magic, but they had never quite seen it used in this way.

Within a matter of seconds, a bird made of folded paper formed in Loraine's open palm. It was all white in colour and it moved!

As it fully materialised in her palm, she gave it a lift-off; sending it up into the sky.

”I've sent her a message of your request, hopefully, she will reply to us soon,” Loraine explained with a smile, ”On a side note, while you're waiting, would you like a tour of the Institute? You two definitely look like you're from out of town.”

Vy looked down at Lycster, and he gave an enthusiastic nod.

”Sure, that sounds like fun,” Vy replied.

Loraine clapped her hands together, ”Wonderful! Oh, my name is Loraine, by the way. Loraine Tehrun. I'm a teacher here at the Florenza Institute. Are you familiar with our institute?”

”No, we're not. It's our first time hearing about it, to be honest. I'm Vyrena, Vyrena Blackfire. And this is my brother, Lycster,” Vy replied as she introduced herself and Lycster.

Loraine brought Vyrena and Lycster into the main courtyard of the institute and explained to them how it worked. Upon realizing that they did not know anything about the way that magic was thought at the institute, she explained from the start.

There were six branches of magic, Battle, Summon, Potion, Elemental, Free Form and Enhancement. Students of all ages, race and species are welcome to join the institute. Master the skills take a long time and most students take at least 3 years to master the basic skills and past their first test before they get to choose their specialization.

”What do you teach, Miss Loraine?” Lycster asked out of curiosity.

”Well, I specialise in Free Form magic, which encompasses inventing magical items and more,” she replied.

Lycster pondered over her words for a while, ”Oh so it's like that paper bird you created just now?”

”Yes! That's exactly right!”
