"Today is the day i graduate, and i am really excited" thought Andrej while making his school bed for the last time.

"Are you ready partner?" asked Mateja.

"Of course" Andrej said and both of them immediately exited the room in which they stayed in for seven whole years, and as they recalled all the adventures they went through, they found themselves in front of Anya's door, they knocked hard which upset Anya, and she opened the door in fury.

"Hello, we came to see you"

"Hi"

"You idiots! Wait for me to get dressed up" Anya said and she slammed the door.

"She is in a good mood today" said Mateja.

"I suppose, hey, who do you think will give us flowers?" asked Andrej.

"Don't remind me of flowers, not of that dreadful day" said Mateja.

"Okay, no more flowers for today then" said Andrej and at that moment Anya exited her room, she wore a beautiful red dress.

"Oh wow, you look beautiful" said Andrej.

"Thanks, you two look good too" Anya said, both Andrej and Mateja wore formal clothes, the same ones from Katarina and Ivan's graduation.

"Thank you" said both Andrej and Mateja at the same time.

"Let's go outside" said Mateja, and Anya and Andrej nodded and they went outside, where the school was already preparing everything for the ceremony, a few of the workers saw Andrej and Mateja.

"Hey, you boys, can you help with the chairs?" asked one of the workers.

"Of course" replied Andrej, and both him and Mateja immediately went to work, and after about three hours of moving chairs, they were finally finished, all of the chairs were placed in perfect rows.

"God i am exhausted" said Andrej, sitting on one of the chairs.

"Me too partner" said Mateja, who was also sitting on a chair, then one of the workers came and gave Andrej a box.

"Here, a postman sent this for you" said the worker and he left. The box was a big wooden one on top of which was a paper where "Stuff for your graduation" was written, they immediately figured out who sent the box, and they opened it, inside was a bouquet of roses, underneath it was a paper which read "For Anya from Ivan", Mateja took the bouquet and put it on the side, in the box was also a bottle of rakija, and next to it was another paper, Andrej took the paper and read it.

"If you two expected flowers or some shit like that, you are absolute morons, every graduate needs some good alcohol, make sure you drink this before the dance, so you can ask every girl you see, congratulations on your graduation, Katarina and Ivan"

"I can imagine them saying those exact words in person" said Mateja.

"Me too, let's give this to Anya" said Andrej and he picked up the bouquet, they found Anya sitting on one of the benches on the road in front of the school.

"Hey Anya, here from Ivan" Andrej said and handed her the bouquet.

"He is such an idiot, what about you, did you get anything?" she asked, and Mateja took the bottle of rakija from his pocket.

"We got this" Mateja said.

"You idiots, you shouldn't drink this" Anya immediately shouted.

"Come on, let's have a quick drink now" said Andrej, and both he and Mateja sat on the bench.

"No, i don't even drink" Anya said.

"Come on now" said Mateja, and he opened the bottle and took a gulp, before handing it to Andrej, who also took a gulp, and he handed it to Anya, who after some thinking also took a gulp.

"Woah, that was good" said Andrej.

"I agree" added Mateja.

"Let's go, the ceremony is about to start. said Anya, and all three of them quickly went back to the school not to be late for the event, they took three seats in the middle row, and immediately the professor of practical magecraft went to the stage to give his speech.

"Good evening to all of the graduates present here tonight. As the professor of practical magecraft it was an honor training this generation of future warriors and heroes, i wish you happiness and good fortune in life" the professor concluded his speech, and all of the students gave a loud applause.

"Now then, the award for the greatest student of this generation goes to the beautiful, charming and smart Anya Gavrilova" professor Irina said, and Anya immediately went to the stage to get her award.

"I'm not so good at this stuff, but i want to thank all of you for making these seven years great, and a big thank you to my friends Andrej and Mateja, and to two of the previous graduates Katarina and Ivan, you have made my life great" she concluded, and went back to wait for the dance.

"And now, for the students who were shown to be exceptional at the training by showing their ability to think strategically during a battle, and also showing great ability and talent, two exceptional young boys, Andrej Antonov and Mateja Kazinski" they both went on the stage and took their awards.

"I don't know how to thank you, all of you, you have made my life great these seven years, i also want to thank the professors, who taught me to be strong" said Andrej and he went off the stage.

"What to say, they already said most of the things i wanted to say, but let me say that i will one day return to this school, and when i return, i will be the greatest hero the kingdom has ever seen" said Mateja, and the students applauded him.

After more awards it was time for the dance, Mateja immediately asked Anya for a dance, she accepted

and they started dancing elegantly.

"Hey Andrej, even though i don't like you, would you like to dance with me tonight?" asked Nina.

"Of course" said Andrej and took her hand.

The dance went perfectly, everybody was having a good time.

"Before you leave this school and go on with your lives, please join us for a dinner" said one of the professors, and all of the students immediately went to the cafeteria to eat, there were a lot of different foods and drinks there, and Andrej immediately filled his plate with all sorts of meats and cheeses, before noticing a big pot full of goulash.

"Goulash, finally" he said, and immediately started eating it.

"You sure love your goulash partner" said Mateja who sat besides Andrej.

"What is bad about goulash?" asked Andrej.

"Nothing"

They continued eating and having fun, until three hours after midnight, when the party ended, and it was time for the graduates to return home.

"Well hero, i guess this is the end for now" said Andrej melancholically.

"Yes partner, i hope we will meet again in the future" said Mateja.

"You guys, see you again sometime, i hope we can meet again and have a drink" said Anya while walking to her chariot and shedding some tears.

"Don't worry, i will make sure that happens" said Andrej.

"You better" said Anya and she entered the chariot.

"Now Andrej, see you sometime in the future" said Mateja as he entered a chariot.

"See you" said Andrej, and he entered Grisha's chariot.

"School was actually pretty amazing, i wish it lasted longer, but life goes on, and from now on, i better live it to the fullest" thought Andrej while looking back at the school building, which was slowly fading away into the background.
