Chapter 63 Excuse me? (2/2)

Dammit, he's right. He's too handsome to get hit.

But she'll never admit that!

”Pssshhh. On second thought, I don't want to dirty my hands in punching filth.”

She lowered her fist and turned around. After opening the map on her hands, she decided to go back to the Lily dorms on her own.

Raghnall kept smirking at her while he made his way to his dorms too. Both their dorms had similar paths except for a crossroad at the end so Raghnall ended up following Inna. But he decided to walk behind her.

”Hey.”

Inna stopped in her tracks and turned around.

”I've been curious about that time spell thing ever since.”

He looked at her with an eyebrow raised.

”You don't know how to check for the time?”

Seeing Inna's blank expression, he already knew the answer.

”It's a spell I learned when I broke through to low rank. Its chant is, 'Timre. Cloccus.' Not sure if you'll be able to do it though. Since you're…. you know.”

He gestured at her.

”But the people that can't use magic usually just buy items that are embedded with that spell. Some are rings, bracelets, or usually on things they keep to their body all the time. It makes it more convenient.”

Inna nodded in understanding.

”Well, speaking of time, I'm sure you haven't heard of the announcement that on the 12th hour, we'll all gather for lunch.”

Inna looked at him in confusion.

”Why am I always excluded in announcements?! Before it was the sparring, and now it's the lunch?!”

Raghnall sighed.

He already knew the answer to that.

”The sparring was probably very recent since even I didn't know about it. But for the lunch, it might be because you're in the Lily class. Every house has a linked speaker that would relay all the announcements the academy had to give. But only the Lily class had theirs unlinked to the academy.”

”Why?”

”For two reasons. One was to avoid them being bombarded with verbal harassment by private linked announcements from different classes. This is because a class, under the permission of their dorm prefect, can privately link an announcement towards another class if there is a need to.”

”And two, they were not allowed to join any festivities nor special interactions. Well, unless they were able to improve with their studies or until they were stable enough. The Elders said that it might help motivate them into working harder to be better.”

”That's ridiculous!”

Inna snapped.

They're not helping in anything!

They're just basically isolating the Lily class!

Raghnall shrugged helplessly at her outburst.

”That's the way this school works. If you're not strong enough, smart enough, and prepared enough, you'll have trouble surviving.”

Inna was lost in thought as she tried to figure out how to solve this isolation issue.

If she won't even be included in these, she'd most likely miss out on a lot of things that can help her learn.

Like class trips! Class trips are the ones that she always looks forward to in classes!

There was once where they all went to Singapore for their business course!

It's too much of a waste if she can't explore now that she's actually in a different world.

Well, she could always explore alone, but she'll most likely die early.

Inna sobbed inside.

Huhu, she misses her college and their class trips!

Then, Raghnall spoke up.

”Since I'm such a good person, I can link it myself if you want. After all, what can a genius 'not' do?”

Inna rolled her eyes when he started to brag. But truly, she wanted his help.

”I have a feeling that there is a condition behind this again.”

Raghnall chuckled lightly.

”Of course. But first, you'll have to ask your dorm prefect for permission. Don't tell him it's me but say that you've found an expert in the school. I mean, technically, you're not wrong.”

He huffed with pride.

”As for that condition, you'll have to owe me a favor. And as for what favor, I'll have to think about it.”

He winked.
