A: Magic Forest

(3)

The asparagus soup and orange juice that Lila and Cia ordered were really filling. The stomachs of the two girls are now full so to walk it feels very difficult. Hence, they decided to walk towards the garden area and sit on the chairs that were there.

However, a thing disturbs Cia's mind. He was sure that he had forgotten something, but he did not know what it was. Maybe, if Lila hadn't taken her to the cafeteria earlier, she could have finished it by now.

But nevermind. The soup made him sleepy from the satiety and the empty park bench was most likely the best place to sleep and laze around. A breeze and the smell of trees enveloped the two amateur witches. Perfect. This kind of atmosphere is what motivates a person to fall asleep.

"Hey, what are we going to do after this?"

"Eitherway. Maybe sleep or play a spell, maybe? But I think I'm going to choose the first option. This kind of atmosphere makes me sleepy."

Lila nodded while holding her already full stomach. "You're right. The atmosphere is incredibly comfortable. The wind that blows, the smell of pine trees, the chirping of birds, and the atmosphere that is quiet is suitable for sleeping," said Lila like a person who is poetry.

Suddenly, Cia immediately reacted like a frightened person after hearing Lila's words. The one word Lila had just spoken finally made the glasses girl aware of her partial stupidity. "S-trunkies?" rhetorical reply.

Lila nodded innocently and without any burden. He then stood up and started walking around the bench. "Yes, deserted. Maybe the other students are sleeping or-"

A cold sweat suddenly poured from Lila's left temple. With a water of horror, he looked at Cia fixedly. The two girls swallowed their coarse saliva after they realized one very important thing.

"Or they are studying in the classroom, being passed on by the teacher who is teaching, and reporting that we are truant of their class."

A terrifying aura appeared near the two girls when the voice sounded. Lila understood and knew a man who had a voice like this. Yes, it was the schoolkeeper of the magician academy as well as the same person who woke Lila up arbitrarily earlier this morning.

"Also, we found that the toilets in the right wing of the magician academy had not been dipel and cleaned up at all by the students who served there. And you know who those students are?"

"Bring us to the principal's room."

The old man smiled. His eyebrows rose and his nose expanded. The velvet lace hat he was wearing was even slightly raised so pleased the man for being in this kind of situation.

"Fright, young lady!"

The head of the magician academy shook his head tired. His face was riled up, his forehead was folded, his eyes were closed in reverence, and his lips were bent. He was tired of serving Lila and all the problems she had done. Lila has been in the academy for almost six years, and the problems she has caused either intentionally or unintentionally are countless. That child is a trouble-bearer for the magician academy.

But, Cia? The overachieving girl who had never been involved in any matter was suddenly already in her room for reportedly being troublemaked by the school guards of the magician academy.

"So, as usual, you came to my place again. It's okay, I've taken that as everyday food. However, Cia? How could a smart girl like you. My feelings are not good at the moment. You wait here, and I'll call one more person to accompany you." The head of the magician academy finally spoke up and spoke in a soft tone. His expression this time could not be explained. Angry, sad, disappointed, and tired join together.

"Company us in what way, sir?" ask Lila plain. Cia had tried hard to stop him but it was too late because the girl had already opened her mouth first. The head of the magician academy did not reply, but instead looked at the two girls with a gaze as sharp as a butcher's knife.

A moment later, the slippery-headed man grabbed the phone handle that was on top of his desk and dialed a number. After conversing for several tens of seconds, the man put the phone handle back into its starting position and said, "you will be accompanied by someone again, i.e"

"Aliga."
