“Class has been canceled.”
Ninos looked up from his book, staring into Kina’s looming face.
“What are you talking about?”
“Professor Brandor. I went over there early to speak with him about
my final project and there was a sign on his door and the lecture hall that
classes have been canceled the rest of the week.”
“We graduate in two weeks!” Ninos said, slamming his book shut,
ignoring all the turning heads around them. “We get our familiars in two
weeks! How can he cancel an entire week of classes? I just finished my
final project last night! I was meant to present the day after tomorrow.” He
was so excited for it, the culmination of a lifetime of work, a day he’d been
working toward since he was five.
Mastery of sylvan magic, so good at
what he did he would get a familiar, a companion for life. “I just saw him
last night; he didn’t mention anything about canceling classes today.” It
wasn’t like Brandor not to tell him things. He was technically only Ninos’s
advisor, but he’d looked up to Brandor more like a father practically from
the start.
Certainly he’d learned more from, and could rely on him more, than
his actual father. Ninos didn’t even know what his parents looked like
anymore, it had been so long since he’d last seen them. Sometimes, that
hurt. Most of the time, he just didn’t care. He was doing all of this for them,
for the village, but…
“I hope he’s all right. Why wouldn’t he mention any of it to me last
night?”
“Guess even you don’t know everything. Clearly it happened
suddenly, whatever it is, too suddenly for him to send a note to his precious
favorite.”
“Oh, be quiet.”
“Well it’s true you’re his favorite and everyone knows it.”
“That doesn’t mean I get away with anything the way everyone
says.” He bit his lip. “It really is strange he didn’t mention anything to me,
that something might be going on or could come up that would lead to him
canceling class.”
“Whatever. I’m sure he’s fine and it’s just that something stupid and
weird happened.” Kina pushed off where he’d been bracing himself on the
table and rose to his full height, spreading his hands out in a gesture of I
have no idea. “They’ll get it sorted and we’ll be in the lecture hall for your
precious presentation.”
“We’d better,” Ninos grumbled as he packed up his things. As there
was no class, there was no reason for him to be waiting here until it started.
He hoped Brandor was all right, but surely, he would have sent Ninos a
message if something was truly wrong? Probably it was just something
stupid and vexing and he’d hear all about it later. “Want to get something to
eat? Like, real food?”
“Does anyone ever answer no to that question? Tally’s?”
“Works for me.” Ninos slung his bag across his chest and followed
Kina from the crowded study hall, down to the ground floor of the academy
library, and out to the main pavilion. From there they made their way to the
main gate, one of only two ways in and out of academy grounds, and signed
out with the guards there before heading off into town.
