Chapter 89: This was a disappointment
Aric didn’t want to argue and just followed Gopher to one tent. This tent had a green triangle flag blowing in the wind. But here was the thing: there was no wind nearby, and still, all the flags over the tents seemed to be blown by some kind of wind mechanism.
Aric knew what it was. It was wind magic. Gopher had gifted him quite a few books about magic, and now Aric had a very general idea of how magic worked. After he had learned some runic circles and engraved them, he stopped learning more. Though his consciousness could handle more, he didn’t see any need to add more.
He wanted to wait and see if he could join a school and then understand his abilities a bit better. Aric soon found himself inside the tent. He had watched Harry Potter movies in his previous life, and thus, a part of him was expecting something like the Harry Potter movies, with enlarged space on the inside of the tent.
But he was sorely disappointed. He entered only to see two men: one middle-aged and one a young adult sitting on two chairs behind a quite raised wooden desk, which had intricate patterns on it.
On the desk, it was written:
Windfall School of Magic.
"Gopher?! Is that you? You’re still alive?" The middle-aged man looked at Gopher with surprise once they entered the tent. The tent was not exactly in the middle of the square, and it wasn’t flashy enough to attract the attention of the young teenagers to check here.
"Max... They sent you this time? Tch. The school has just gone a few more levels down," Gopher replied with a huff.
"At least I got the job of caretaker teacher that you always wanted," Max replied.
