Chapter 18: Combat Magic (2)
Away from the spectator seats, past the Arena and against the wall of the Combat Magic Classroom, a swirling portal Gate appeared.
Caius and every other student watched as a set of long, smooth bronze legs with beautiful feet strapped into heeled shoes of midnight blue gilded with golden patterns stepped out of the portal first. The rest of the woman followed.
She must have been 5’7 normally but her heels lifted her to 5’11, making her appear tall and glorious. Her smooth bronze skin seemed to glisten. Her thick black hair was tied with a golden gilded string into a bun at the top of her head with a deliberate strand left to fall to the side of her face.
She was dressed in a midnight blue gown with golden patterns that matched her shoes. The gown clung to her body and there was a small cleavage window too that would have pulled more attention if her face was not already grabbing it all.
Her face was very beautiful, even when compared to Arlette who was the only person who looked about her age that Caius could use to make comparisons thus far.
In fact, while the woman and Arlette looked nothing alike—besides being very attractive women—they did both have grey eyes. However, where Arlette’s eyes were a lighter and more feline grey, the woman’s eyes were a stormy grey. They looked restless, angry, and almost Violent. When she smiled at the class though, they were milder by just a few degrees.
And speaking of that smile. It was breathtaking.
Caius should have known what to expect as she had been described in the original story, even more than Arlette, but it still took him by surprise. He had a feeling he should be getting used to that.
"Good morning class. I am Cynthia Kragsten. You will call me Professor Kragsten.
Welcome to Combat Magic."
Everyone paid rapt attention. An already interesting class being taught by a teacher as beautiful as the bronze-skinned Professor commanded their attention whether they wanted it to or not.
