You wake up one hour early just to make sure you're not late. You double-check the class number, and it's with the summoning teacher. You're going to learn spells, with a real teacher. You're so excited you have to bite yourself to calm you down. Totally normal behavior, haha!
Oh god did Aroth include you when he said the students here were eccentric? You hope not, you think you're pretty normal, you just have quirks. You don't have time to explore your insecurities and instead go to the class half an hour early. To your surprise, the door is not only open, but nearly everyone is already here.
The teacher, a ratman, looks at you and sigh. "Atlas, you're late, that doesn't look good for you if that's how you start the year, you know?"
"B-But I thought I was-"
He bursts into laughter, "Nah, I'm just messing with you, you're early. I just couldn't help myself with how serious you looked about all this. Unfortunately, most of your classmates were even earlier since they wanted to pick their won partner."
"Their what?"
"Ah, yes, everyone was told they would need to choose a partner for their first day to practice magic with. It looks like you locked yourself in your room when the announcement was made though, that's a shame. There are still a few students that need a partner though, so don't sweat it too much!"
You look at Aroth, and he's with the vampire guy. Why didn't he tell you? He could've knocked at your door or something!
No use crying over spilled milk, you just need to find a partner, and your options are...
>Fish girl.>Ivy.>???>Anbees>Crystal guy>Catgirl
