Cecil didn't write his history essay, and slept through the night. Everyday he had two classes, and history was the second one, so he should be fine.
He opened he curtains and looked out of the window, and was jumpscared by a cat.
The cat was also jumpscared by him and ran away.
Cecil was not sleepy anymore and checked his phone before going for a shower.
"All students are informed that All scheduled lectures by Professor Hildegard today are cancelled. Thank God."
Well,
No history class today, so he Procrastinated the history essay by 18 hours.
Cecil took a bath, and checked his timetable again. Alchemy 8:00 to 10:00.
Professor Eclessia had told him to report to her, so he made his way to the Alchemy Lab.
He was half tempted to check his blueit Karma, but Eclessia would probably nuke him or something.
Women are scary.
When he entered the staff roof, Eclessia was staring at a pile of papers. Answersheets, and she had this expression that one has after someone says something so Stupid that you cannot think or a rebuttal.
Cecil was half tempted to back away, but her head snapped to him.
"Velhana. Come. In."
Cecil was more than scared. He hesitantly stepped in, and was about to speak, but...
"You are not to reveal anything about you skill. First thing you do, Unanimate everything."
Cecil really didn't have any idea on what he was going to do with A chunk of Haematite and a coin, so he Unanimated them quickly.
"
"Good. Now, publically, your skill is called 'Void Daggers'. You have three Daggers, and you move them telekinetically. Understood?"
Cecil nodded.
"Here,", Eclessia opened a drawer, and pulled out three Daggers. A red, a blue and a green. "Animate these."
Cecil thought that there was a pattern to these, but Eclessia looked scary, so, despite his survival instinct screaming at him, he just...

Green Guardian looked Chonky, It looked kind of funny, and Cecil was not sure how he was supposed to block with that. It has an emerald handle and a... Dark green blade. No fancy name this time.
"
Cecil felt a sharp headache, but he was not as effected as before.
"
The three Daggers disappeared instantly, and Eclessia looked slightly dizzy.
"You could just do that?"
"Yes professor."
"You know what. Go to your seat,Velhana. I'll be there soon. You still have extra classes in the Night."
Cecil was more than Willing to get he fuck away from a Professor Eclessia who was on the verge of crashing out.
In the Alchemy Lecture room...
Most People's reaction to History classes being cancelled ranged from
'Thank god'
To literal tears of happiness.
After a bit of asking around, it turns out that no one had completed their history essays and were all planning to do it in the break.
Collective Procrastination felt good.
Professor Eclessia appeared suddenly, and didn't do any introductions, she just told everyone to turn to a page and started teaching Chemistry.
The class was silent except the one time someone asked the spelling of Molybdenum.
Literally no idea why, the class was about Acids and Bases.
"Everyone, I hope you all have understood everything I have taught until here.", Eclessia looked blankly at the students, Her black eyes staring at no one in particular. "We have 30 minutes left. Surprise test.
With that, she threw the question papers in the air, and small pins(?) of Cobalt appeared, stabbing into the papers, and embedding themselves with the papers into each student's desk.
Cecil read the paper. This was Jack shit.
30 minutes passed slowly, and Soon, The clock hit 10.
"Stop writing. Fernandez, you too."
Everyone stopped writing, and submitted their answer sheets, and got the fuck out. Everyone had a gut feeling that interacting with Eclessia would be disastrous.
Eclessia looked at the topmost paper.
"Utter morons."
Cecil started leisurely walking after he was atleast 100 meters away from the Alchemy Lecture room. He was hoping that he doesn't meet one of the people who used to bully him every single day for being a nonbinder. Like, a day of peace and quiet could be nice, but then again. He was bullied everyday consistently.
Maybe this time he could fight back.
"Hey, C!"
Cecil turned, his eyes flashed, or they looked like they flashed.
Roland Neörm was about 178 centimeters tall, pretty average looking guy. His family had a pretty big buisness around Europe. Roland was one entitled guy, with two more buff guys surrounding him.
"Heard your name in the Binder's roll call, Void Daggers was it, How about you show me?"

"Roland, if I show you my skill, your family will probably send hitmen after me. And your corpse.", Cecil took a minor risk.
Roland was slightly confused, Cecil usually got bullied without resistance.
"Big words eh? They say an empty Vessel makes the most no—
Cecil issued a set of commands mentally, and Blue Blitz materialised out of nowhere.
The dagger disappeared in a blue blur, and left a trail of blood under Roland's ear.
The small crowd watching The whole incident were as confused as Roland, and had one thought.
Fast. That was fast.
The highest Mag stat guy had a Mag stat of 140, and he was able to barely register the blade's trajectory.
"I'll make you see your own ears with your own eyes, Roland."
Cecil declared coldly and walked away.
But internally...
Woooooooooooo
Yeah baby!
That's what I've been waiting for!
That's what it's all about!
