If you find mistakes, pls tell, thx. I don't like mistakes.
Must split the chapter, if the chapters get too long you could get the idea it always has to be like that, less to do tomorrow....

“I wish you a nice day little masters!”, Rose smiles and waves at us, as we pass through the schools gate. I smile and wave her a goodbye.
We are walking for about a minute into the direction of the school yard, when we become aware of three students, who are lying on the floor.
Two of them are twitching and the third has foam at the mouth. “A bio-attack on the school? Is it poison?”, I ask myself.
Celes walks up to them and probes one with her foot, but no reaction. “Heal!”, I want to ask them what happened. Strange they show no reaction to healing magic?
“They aren't wounded, so I think you wasted your mana Angrod”, Celes comments. “Hm, strange, I have seen this somewhere already. But I can't remember.”, I wreck my brain.
If you live such a long life like ours, you are bound to forget a lot of stuff. Be happy if you manage to remember a few things of your first life after a thousand years.
“Hahaahaha....Muahaha.......Hihiihiiihihi.....”
We can hear a crazy laugh from the school yard. We both look at each other and start to run into the direction of the mad voice.
As we reach there, we see a picture out of a horror movie. Multiple students are lying around in the school yard. Apparently the fell were they stood, like having their strings cut.
And in the middle of it all is ….. Margerie? And a small drone-like device hovers about ten meters above her.
“Hohoho! Celes, Angrod I am so happy, you cannot believe it!”, the culprit says with a heavenly smile on her face.
Then she dashes over and bulldozes into me, giving me a big hug. “Angrod, I can't thank you enough for yesterday! You are a genius! Just solving the problem, I thought would take me a lifetime.”
“Haha, no big deal more important. WHAT happened here!?”, I ask. “Yes, Yes, was there an attack!?”, Celes follows.
Margerie smiles,
“Oh, no I was just testing Agrods prototype design. I made a few changes here and there to maximize the output. Fufufu, this is a complete new branch of science for this world! Who would have thought, that some materials get such miraculous properties, if you cool them down enough!
After Angrod gave us the hint yesterday, I stormed one of my parents research labs and enlisted all workers, researchers and materials for this project. They didn't have anything productive to do anyway. Hahaha.
So as of today, we have the first levitation-device, which isn't dependent on ridiculous amounts of rare materials!
Though there is a little safety issue, as you can see. The strong magnetic field seems to paralyse most living organisms I have tested so far. There needs to be more control on the magnetic field.
But that's no issue, I used a very simple control circuit!
Do you want to test it?”
This one is dangerous....
She holds out a device to us, which looks like a remote control. I take it and fly a few circles with the device. It is very easy to use, almost like a video game.
It must generate a really strong magnetic field to hold itself up like that. I didn't expect that Margerie could put this together over night!?
Suddenly a few teachers enter the school yard, they don't look very happy. “Give me that!”, Celes grabs the remote control and the device does a U-turn.
“SSSSSSSSSsssssmmmmmmmmmmmmmm”, directly into the group.
They twitch and fall to the ground.
“Let's run!”, “Yes!”, “Hahaha!”, Margerie takes control again and deactivates the device, to pick it up.
Then we run for it, because we already see another group of people coming our way.
“That was funny!”, Margerie proclaims in one of the hallways a few minutes later. Now, that I have time to look at her, I see that she looks really tired, despite her demeanour.
“You should probably rest, you don't seem to be in good condition”, I advice. “Rest? Rest? How can you talk about rest now! There is so much to discover! What else is in your head!? You just walk up to a chalkboard and revolutionize our science in thirty minutes! What happens if you really put some work into it. Haaahaaa.....”, Margerie is now drooling on the floor.
This makes her look like a real dog, with a happy waving tail, looking up to its master!
Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.
“Ahem! Margerie, you should probably really rest a little. Your behaviour is a little strange today. I will bring you to the infirmary-room.”, Celes grabs Margerie at the neck like a kitten and walks off.
Margerie tries to resist, but the mad scientist doesn't seem to be above brute force.....
“We see each other at special class, Angrod. Tell the teacher that I will be a little late!”, Celes calls out to me, while turning around a corner.
“Noooo! I have to dissect his brain! There is so much to leeeeaaarrrrrnnnn!”, I hear a howl, which is slowly growing weaker, as the two of them increase their distance to me.
So I turn into the direction of the so called special class. And walk a little faster. I imagine, it would surely make a bad first impression to be late. After I changed my clothes I arrived at my destination.
Which is just a wide open field?
Just seven students and teacher Tongord are present. I know five of the students. “I am sorry, but Celes will be late.”, I inform Tongord.
“Ohh, the prodigy is late? Hrm. We would have odd numbers in that case. So it is not a problem.”, Tongord nods.
“So, as for introductions, here we have Angrod Tirna. Unfortunately our second newcomer Celes Stricc will be late. This here is Tanja Morden, Sven Hjavars, Iris Tulhelm, Gabriel Rosenquarz, Sarda Meltheim, Senda Meltheim and Sandra Andros.”, Tongord introduces me to the people here.
As he points to Sarda and Senda, I give them a happy smile. Two more punching bags for Celes mean less punches for me! This is a good day!
For some reason both of them take a step back and Iris holds a respectful distance to me. I am amazed at this world's healing magic. Just yesterday, Iris had all four limbs broken and some other injuries too.
Haaah, just now I remember where I heard the name Tulhelm. Wasn't that a family which father hugely dislikes? He mentioned them to be very troublesome fellows.
Now THERE we have the reason, why the perverted wolf girl threw herself at me like a whore. Or am I interpreting too much into this?
Then I take a closer look at the two new faces. Gabriel Rosenquarz is very human-like, just his skin is reddish and he could be about eight years old. His build is a little sturdy. I wouldn't be surprised, if someone told me that he is related to teacher Samarin!
Sandra Andros is.... a bunny girl! Yes, there is no other way to describe it. A bunny girl through and through. She may be ten, but why do you wear a skin-tight suit for this!? Everyone else uses tracksuits.
“Unfortunately we have a huge age gap here. But that shouldn't be such a big problem, we have just the strongest of the strongest here anyway! But to give you a better training, I will have to know your fighting style! So I will have a test fight with each of you guys, when Celes is here.”, he explains.
“What are we allowed to do?”, I ask curiously. “Everything is allowed, as long, as you do it from a range no bigger than fifty meters!”, Tongord answers.
“I can cast spells too?”, I am confused. I thought close combat lessons were all about martial arts and use of close range weapons?
“You can cast every spell, you manage to cast. Don't confuse this class with something stupid like magical combat or martial arts classes! In which you just stand at fixed positions and cast spells at each other. Or just use your fists and feet, if you could instead use your mind too! A highly unrealistic scenario!
In my class, you will train for the real life! Everything goes, as long as you don't try to snipe the opponent from a ridiculous range.” -Tongord
Now I stand there with an open mouth, “I let myself being beaten up for nothing!”, I scream!
“Hahaha, I knew you had mistaken the rules of combat in this class, because you didn't read the flyer we got for it.”, suddenly Celes laughs behind me.
”Why didn't you tell!?”, I turn around.
“Because it was so cute to see you struggling, while trying your best!”, Celes smiles like a sadist at me!
“Your face tells the whole story already!”, I answer. It seems our talk yesterday doesn't include to not have a sadistic relationship. I want to cry!
“Hrm. Having the right informations is also a part of combat! I already asked myself, why a mage character like you fought her in such a strange way. Though I have to compliment you for holding your ground against her, while using nothing but enchants on yourself!” -Tongord
I grumble to myself, while Tongord walks onto the open field.
