Chapter 476 Magical Creature Study
Archer watched as she gestured towards the maps and artifacts hanging around the room.
"You'll embark on quests that take you far beyond the safety of these walls. The continent awaits exploration, and thanks to the previous war and the treaties that have been signed after, you'll have the opportunity to journey to many different areas outside the empire, each with its unique challenges and discoveries."
Samara's eyes gleamed with enthusiasm. "From the lush forests to the daunting mountains, the bustling cities to the quiet villages, this class will be your gateway to understanding the world around you. You'll face creatures and encounter various cultures, all of which will contribute to your growth as individuals and as a team."
She paused, allowing her words to sink in. "So, gear up, be prepared, and get ready to experience the wonders and challenges beyond our college."
As Archer absorbed Professor Greyleaf's words, a sense of satisfaction washed over him. He was relieved to have chosen a class that promised excitement.
Glancing at Nala, he noticed her tail playfully rubbing against his, and he couldn't help but smile.
A shiver ran down his spine when her tail wrapped around his, and he met her mischievous grin as she turned her head toward him.
Archer playfully swatted Nala's thigh, eliciting laughter from the lion girl.
However, their banter was interrupted when Samara's voice cut through the amusement. ''Archer, stop flirting and listen up. The class's first task is to pick up two quests from the quest hut at the college entrance and complete them by sundown.''
As Samara finished speaking, a murmur of gossip swept through the students.
However, she quickly brought their attention back, saying, ''This assignment is designed to be completed within a few hours, so there are no late-night ventures into the forests.''
Some students were happy, but some were still moaning, making Archer laugh.?The lesson continued for another hour until the bell rang, and it was time for their next class.
They discovered that the college had its quests posted by citizens for free, but the staff paid the students for completing them.
The Headmistress considered it a necessary incentive to encourage students to take on these quests.
As the students began pouring out of the room, Archer stood up, but Nala turned to him with a happy voice. ''What class have you got next, Archie?''
He shook his head at the nickname, smiling at the lioness before answering, ''I've got Magical Creature Studies next.''
Nala looked disappointed before she thought of something and got an excited look on her face as she asked. ''Do you want to go on a date today?''
She spoke so loud that the remaining students all heard her, and it caused Lioran to stumble because it caught him off guard.
Archer nodded affirmatively. ''Yes. I will take Ella out after classes, but we can meet once I take her home.''
The lioness was delighted as she pecked him on the cheek before leaving the room. Lioran observed this with an amused expression on his face.
Upon noticing Lioran's gaze, Archer inquired, ''What are you looking at?''
Lioran chuckled. ''Nothing, brother-in-law. I'm not looking at anything. Now, I will see you in Magic Fundamentals.''
With that, the blonde boy departed, leaving Archer alone. He shrugged and exited the room while Samara was engrossed in reading some paperwork.
He set out to the Magical Creature Study class.?The halls were bustling, with students heading to various lessons.
Amid the crowd, he unexpectedly ran into Halime, who greeted him with a bright smile.
"Archer! Hey!" she called out, her happiness evident in her voice.
He returned the smile, genuinely pleased to see her. "Hey, Hali! What's up?"
She stepped beside him, sharing details about her day and the upcoming magical creature study class.
The casual conversation added a pleasant note to Archer's journey through the bustling corridors of the college.
They embarked on the long walk to the Magical Creature classroom on the other side of the college.
The path meandered through bustling hallways and across lively courtyards. As they strolled, Archer couldn't help but notice people avoiding Halime, casting wary glances her way.
He wanted people to stop whispering about her, so he gently took Halime's hand in his, which caught her by surprise.
Initially shocked, Halime looked at him, finding a reassuring smile on his face. Slowly, a small smile formed on hers, and she tightened her grip on his hand.
Together, they continued their walk and finally arrived at the Magical Creature Study class, and to their surprise, it wasn't a traditional classroom.
Instead, it was an enchanting garden with a veranda where students could comfortably sit and study magical creatures.
The garden was filled with vibrant and exotic plants in different colors.
Each corner housed a different habitat for magical creatures, creating a living, breathing textbook for the students.
The atmosphere resonated with the calming melodies of chirping magical creatures and the gentle rustle of leaves.
Seated on the veranda, Archer and Halime were amidst various magical beings. That's when Ella, Sera, Hemera, and Leira entered the garden.
They spotted Archer and swiftly made their way over to him. The four girls greeted him with kisses before taking their seats.
When they were comfortable, an older woman walked out of a door in one corner.
Archer watched her stroll gracefully to the center, capturing the students' attention. Her gaze met Archer's as she reached the focal point, and a warm smile graced her lips.
"Good day, students," she began, her voice melodic. "I am Professor Wrena Summerwild, and welcome to the captivating world of Magical Creature Study. Here, we'll explore the wonders of magical beings and the harmony they share with our world."
He observed her with interest, captivated by her introduction and the energy she radiated, echoing the enchanting essence of the garden itself.
Archer observed the professor, a petite woman with flowing blonde hair and vibrant orange eyes.
She was dressed in an outfit reminiscent of a zookeeper. His attention was piqued when he noticed a small bird perched on her shoulder, a species he couldn't identify.
His curious gaze did not go unnoticed by the Professor. She approached his table and addressed him, ''I see little Java has caught your attention. She is a firebird from the southern continent. I rescued her as a chick and cared for her ever since.''
As Wrena spoke, the small red bird gracefully took flight from her shoulder, gliding toward Ella.
Landing in front of her, it chirped softly. Ella's face lit up with a smile, and she gently stroked the little bird, appreciating the unexpected encounter with the charming firebird.
The little bird continued its whimsical flight around the veranda, greeting each of Archer's girls with chirps and graceful flaps of its vibrant red wings.
With her keen interest in magical creatures, Sera extended her hand toward Java. The firebird responded by fluttering around her fingers, its melodious chirps creating a playful symphony.
Leira, always fascinated by nature, watched with wide-eyed wonder as Java danced in the air, its red rings creating a mesmerizing display against the green backdrop of the magical garden.
Hemera, the quiet observer, observed Java with a serene expression as it flew in circles around her.
Darting between each girl, the little firebird elicited smiles all around. Meanwhile, Professor Summerwild's attention shifted toward Archer.
Meeting her gaze, Archer acknowledged the older woman's excitement. ''I didn't believe the rumors, but you're a baby dragon, but a dragon nonetheless.''
''Well, you're correct. I am in dragon society, but in the Avalon Empire, I'm a teenager,'' Archer replied, offering a clarification with a hint of amusement in his tone.
The Professor nodded her head before speaking. ''Can you introduce yourselves to the class?''
Archer grinned and rose to his feet before addressing the class.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Archer Wyldheart, known as the most handsome dragon on Pluoria," he proclaimed, a playful glint in his eye, prompting giggles from the girls.
After the laughter settled, the focus turned to the girls. Ella, Sera, and the rest each took their turn introducing themselves, with Halime and Leira patiently awaiting their moment in the spotlight.
The Professor walked back to the front of the class, capturing the attention of the eager students in the Magical Creature Study class.
With a warm smile, she addressed the curious faces before her. "In this class, we explore the marvelous realm of magical creatures, beings that share our world and contribute to the balance of nature."
She gestured toward the verdant garden surrounding them. "Here, you'll not only learn about the creatures themselves but also gain insights into their habitats, behaviors, and the interconnected web they form within our ecosystem."
"As students of magical creatures, you'll embark on journeys of observation, interaction, and, at times, conservation. This class is not just about academic knowledge; it's about fostering a deeper connection with the magical beings that coexist with us in the world."
