the next day, in the morning in the schoolyard
"For Mr Jack, what a beautiful day!" As usual Feronica greeted Mr. Jack who was merrily sweeping the courtyard. The middle-aged man was shocked as usual.
"Ooh! Morning is also Feronica." Mr. Jack turned around and smoothed his hat and smiled.
"How's the test?" ask him kindly.
"Teachers haven't announced the results yet...." Feronica answered as she was, her tone softly as if she felt insecure.
"But be calm, sir! I've done my best and I'm ready for whatever the outcome is!" said Feronica again, but with a high tone of speech and full of spirit, completely different from the tone of the talk earlier.
Mr. Jack smiled slightly and for a while the two of them had a small chat as there was still a little time.
After she finished chatting, Feronica immediately walked into the academy as usual, while Jack carried out his duties back excitedly.
Several other disciples passed by him and somehow Feronica felt their gazes were different from usual.
Whatdoes thatmean? Feronica knew she was an unpopular person and was always ignored, but somehow this time it felt different.
The other disciples who passed by him gave a sharp glare meant enough to make Feronica wonder.
'Why 'em?' inner Feronica, he was not disturbed by the gaze, but was curious as to why.
Feronica stopped in the middle of her journey to enter the classroom, she saw two students chatting with each other.
"Yelena from class 3A is still being treated?" said one of the students there.
"True, even his family was so angry because of this. I was afraid to imagine what would happen later" another student commented. And they continued the conversation while walking to class.
Feronica still stopped there, she understood very well what the two disciples were talking about. This is not the first time he has thought about this.
Feronica still could not believe how he who was not stronger than Yelena could even recover quickly. While Yelena even still has to be treated, Feronica still does not understand why this can be so.
'His family's 'angry?' Feronica thought back to what she had thought before, to her desire to speak directly with the Yelena family.
Would the house of Jelena have understood if she had the opportunity to explain it?
Regardless of what could happen, Feronica still could not impose her will as well.
In the end he walked back to class trying to ignore every pair of eyes that looked at him sharply.
Feronica attended the study session as usual, and the afternoon came so quickly.
The students in his class immediately tidied their books into bags and hurried to leave the room.
Feronica also did the same, but she did not rush the other students to clean up her things.
"Feronicas? Can you come with me for a minute?" Feronica heard a voice, which was none other than her own teacher. Freiss' mother has ended her class session at this time.
'Come?' Feronica was astonished because she did not get an invitation from her teacher. This made him wonder as well. Did something happen huh?
Feronica immediately tidied her study equipment into the bag faster and then followed Bu Freiss to the teachers' room.
"Excuse me ...." Feronica said a greeting before entering the room of these teachers.
Feronica looked at the situation around this vast space of teachers. Most of the academy's teachers had already gone home and left only a few teachers still in this room.
Pluks.
Feronica sat face to face at her teacher's mother's desk. It felt rather tense as well as nervous as he was summoned by a favorite teacher, especially the students in the academy.
"There's something I want to say, Feronica." Freiss started a conversation between them.
Feronica looked at her teacher seriously. "Yes mom?"
"This is related to the Magic Ability Test yesterday." Freiss looked at his protege seriously as well.
"Mother is glad you recovered quickly with the wound you received yesterday...." Ms. Freiss slightly smiled in relief.
"Ah, thank you mom...." Feronica was delighted that someone was worried about her besides her own mother. Being looked at by a great person feels like a dream.
"How's Yelena Bu doing?" Feronica doesn't see Yelena in class which means she still has to receive treatment. But at least he's better, right?
Freiss' mother always had a good memory of how her ailing protege was. And he didn't give a verbal answer.
Freiss looked at Feronica meaningfully, it felt that by looking at the expression of his teacher he already knew the answer to his question.
'That's it, ' Inner Feronica. That's why so many pairs of eyes saw him this morning? They consider it dangerous?
"Mom will tell you about the results of the Magic Ability Test that was done yesterday." Freiss began to return to his serious tone.
DEG ....
Feronica had already prepared herself to face this moment. Where the reality will determine how the next step.
'Well I can't expect much either....'
'If we lose then it feels unfair, Yelena is stronger and talented?' Feronica began to speculate in her mind.
It would be more natural if Yelena who was overall better than him and passed the Magic Ability Test after this. Because his power is much greater than his.
And himself? Feronica only used a stance that was not even stable and would not only harm her opponent but herself as well. It feels too self-imposed too.
Feronica was indeed still in the stage of refining Earth Magic: This Place Change. A magic that is hard enough to master.
Although he managed to use quite heavy magic, but of course his assessment will be less good because it is not too profitable for its users. Even to the point of being dangerous.
'Please, it's okay if I have to repeat, just don't Yelena....' Feronica implored in her mind so much that Yelena would not have to repeat another year.
Feronica did not want to be an obstacle to the success of someone who was indeed greater than him, so now in the end she hopes like this.
Does that mean he doesn't want to pass this after-show Magic Ability Test? Why does he support others and not encourage himself?
Feronica realized she was not as talented and as great as the other students, so she finally learned to accept the possibility that could happen and did not really expect anything more.
"You two pass."
"A-what?" Feronica felt the need to hear again what this teacher said.
