“We’re talking: there’s some kind of spell on us!” - yelled the one that Or.

-Which? - calmly asked a woman in a pale blue dress, apparently a healer.

-We don't know! - This is Ro.

-Well, once again I ask: who imposed it? I don't see him. All right with you young people.

Yes, we can not say who imposed, that's the problem! Or again.

Here I decided to indicate my presence, since the structure of the office was such that visitors could see from the door whether the office was occupied, and those inside were not, if not to make noise, of course.

- Hmm, sorry to interrupt. I was immediately sent to you from the dean's office, to put up a block. Should I wait here or in the hallway? - and mentally to the guys: “We got up, apologized for the inconvenience to the healer and went out to wait for me in the corridor!”.

Everyone present turned to me. And if relief was guessed in the eyes of a woman, then the guys clearly stifled anger in themselves. But they got up and, fulfilling exactly my wishes, left.

“They need a shrink, not a healer,” the healer said in her heart, “the curator Drinas was already driving his students if dreams do not differ from reality. What block do you need? You can contact me Einara Veinser, I am a fixed healer of your faculty.

“Mili Vainser…” I began.

- Mali Veinser, - the healer clarified, - I don’t pull miles by age, and I’ve been happily married for fifty-three years.

-Sorry! Mali Veinser (“they have a madhouse here with an appeal, but at least I understand time and language as earthly and that happiness”) I need a block from the mental influence of dragons.

-O! Have you already talked to someone? - she smiled good-naturedly - some dragons are such inventors, especially over people. Although I see that you are not quite a man, a half-blood, but with whom I cannot determine. Share?

- Inventors? Hmm ... you can characterize it like that ... - I said angrily, - I myself don’t know what kind of second half I have, so I won’t say. Yes, I stumbled upon one dragon. So will you help me?

-Of course, dear. Just keep in mind, healing blocks are dispelled a week after being applied. And if the dragon is interested .... in the object of study, if I may say so, even less time, - then she made some kind of pass with her hands, I didn’t even have time to pay attention, though I saw a green chain that settled on my hand with a weightless bracelet.

- Done, I put a spell on you, you can't see it, but you should feel it. I need your name to make an entry in the visit log, - the woman opened a thick notebook and took something remotely resembling a pen.

-Lana West…, - then I stuttered, but is it worth saying your full name or is your first and last name enough? Actually, I don’t intend to work as a local seer for them. I need to keep my incognito, however incomplete. Yes, and something strained me the phrase about the fact that I can’t see the spell, but I see it!

-Recorded. More wishes?

-No thanks. Everything else is good. Tell me how to get to the central hall, where the rector called us.

- From my office you will go further along the corridor, you will rest against the wall. Put your hand on it and mentally name the place where you want to go. Feel free to go up the staircase that appears, it will lead directly to the hall, - the healer completed the entry in the journal and looked at me with her kind green eyes. An amazing woman, on the one hand, a nondescript appearance, but when she looks at point-blank range, the feeling that you see only her eyes and they are very beautiful. It immediately becomes comfortable. Brr, still magic is a terrible force ...

-Thank you! - I quickly slipped out the door until I was drawn to intimate conversations with an unfamiliar aunt. And there my faithful slaves were waiting for me, with such brutal mines that at first I involuntarily recoiled from them, which did not escape their attention. The guys exchanged malicious smirks and surrounded me on both sides.

- Gotcha? - Conatro, if I'm not mistaken, again became the ringleader of their small team, - I don't know what kind of spell you used, but quick! Withdrew! He grabbed my neck with one hand and slammed me hard against the wall of the corridor.

“Umm… how painful, but where are the applicants, students, university employees, after all?!” - I thought to myself and sharply pulled myself up, - "what kind of idiotic thoughts?". And the body was already reacting to the forced capture: with an unconscious movement, she strained her neck as much as she could, sharply hit the enemy in the groin, and at the same time pulled the brunette's hair hard. At one time, the brothers forced me to learn some self-defense techniques in such a way that the kidnapper attacked me at night (we then fooled around with everyone, oh childhood ...), the last thing he would remember was acquaintance with my knee and crown blow to the head.

While the brunette knelt in front of me with a muffled groan, I quickly turned towards the second one, rubbing my neck. And in time, because his movements showed me more than some can read in the eyes. I jumped to the side just a moment before the blond's fist slammed into it.

“Wow… and I was also amazed at the dragon’s fantasy?!… Yes, he’s just a bunny against these,” I still haven’t moved away from the fighting spirit and that’s the only reason I could think clearly, thanks to the brothers for coaching me too. It was after our training games that I, quietly whining, stomped into the bathroom to lick and howl my wounds, but while we were training there was no place for snot.

"I'm a dream mage! Hedgehogs are fluffy, could do without self-mutilation. Bliiin,” I cursed to myself.

-Stand! - I again put my hand in front of me, as my opponents had already come to their senses and decided to attack in an organized manner, purposefully driving me into a corner of the corridor. After my words, they stood up, without ceasing to clench their fists and bare their faces. - What are you doing? What have I done to you?!

-You! How dare you! Yes, we will level you with dirt! You are nobody! A pitiful girl who happens to have some kind of spell that saved you once or twice! Take it off! And so be it, we will not cripple you much, having fun, ”Tang spat.

“Speak for yourself cousin,” Nat growled, “she hit me, SHE dared to pick me up!!! hand!!!

“Well, not an arm, but a leg,” I said quietly.

-S….Ah! You will know all the facets of pain! he growled even harder.

-Somehow, we didn’t start acquaintance with you, don’t you think? - I said more calmly, seeing that the guys were not making any attempts to advance in my direction. - I'm not the cat Leopold, offering friendship is the height of idiocy in this situation, but I propose a truce. You don't touch me, I touch you.

- Scared? - predatory asked Nat - Remove the spell!

- No, I wasn't scared. I still want to take the least amount of damage. Okay, you have time to think. And now I have questions, - I said, mentally I wished that their answers were true and that they did not tell anyone about our conversation. And in the future, everything that I learned from them did not remain in their memory, - The first question: how many dragons are there in the university?

-Three groups of eighteen individuals and twenty graduates who are not part of the permanent composition of those present and studying, - Tan said reluctantly.

-It's clear. Question two: why are dragons dangerous, apart from their beast? I clarified.

They are all mentalists to one degree or another. The strongest of Raph's trainees, he breaks through any block spells in less than a day, this is his specialty. After graduation, he is waiting for the head of the Firewing clan - this is Nat.

-Wow, the block is removed with the constant presence of the dragon near the one from whom he removes it? - something I don't like what I find out.

- Three touches of the dragon are enough for five hours, - this is enough to deal with the Rafu block, the rest is the same, but the process will take a week, - Nat said the same way, - did you decide to serve the dragons? They have a rich fantasy, but you can’t go further than banal submission in bed, - this wretched man spat on his head.

-Question three: how to protect yourself from the dragon? - did not answer the guy's question.

- Set another dragon on him, or not enter his zone of interest, - Nat already hissed. Tan at the same time looked at me thoughtfully.

“Okay, while they are free,” I felt for the wall behind me with my hand and mentally wished to be near the banquet hall or whatever it was, but you shouldn’t turn your back on them. And then I felt the wall disappear.

“Please go ahead, guys,” I extended my hand invitingly to them, surprisingly they silently walked ahead of me and immediately disappeared from view.

"ffffuh ... bastards!" - I slid to the floor and closed my eyes, yet the tension needs to be relieved a little.

- Miles West! Get up and go to the hall! I do not intend to catch all the late students in the corners of the university! thundered over me. I opened my eyes, but saw only a vague image of our rector, but very formidable.

"Fuck!" - I got up and resolutely passed through this cloud to step onto the stairs.Chapter 7

The stairs ended surprisingly quickly. Once and for all, three steps, probably. And here I am standing in front of huge doors, wide open inward, and behind them a hubbub of voices is heard.

“Everything is like we have on Earth,” this thought gave me acceleration. Going inside, I saw empty seats three rows higher than I was standing, there was a whole row free. I went there, not to prop up the wall, as some did, in my university I didn’t like to do this, and here there was no desire even more so.

While walking, I noticed that the hall was built in a semicircle, so the builders got confused! I did not notice any special order in the seating arrangements of the students; there were multi-colored robes and ordinary dresses and suits. So I did not stand out, at least something pleases!

I walked and sat down in the center of the row, but what, I didn’t see the “busy” signs, no one hissed at me along the way, they looked with mockery, but that’s all. Although, I'm not surprised by anything in this strange world. Well, at least I'll catch my breath.

The lights dimmed and smoke swirled in the center of the stage, evaporating, leaving the rector behind.

-Students! I ask for your attention! Entrance tests have been passed, documents have been submitted, now information on settlement. The four basic elements: fire, water, air and earth are the elemental curators of your elements. After leaving the hall, touch the doors, your curator will bring you all together and answer all your questions. Faculties: healing, combat, mental and necromancy - your curators will be waiting for you in rooms 101, 105, 107 and 009 respectively. Regarding breakfast, - here he made a gesture with his right hand, reminiscent of our "get up, dear" and breakfast appeared in front of each student. Porridge, bread and butter, tea and some kind of ruddy bun - Eat calmly, there will be no classes today. Lunch and dinner at the ringing of a bell.

The rector said and left the stage. The students were not taken aback and took up breakfast, as, indeed, I did.

After a quick breakfast, I rushed to the door so as not to stomp later in the general heap. I did everything as the rector said, and in front of me appeared ... or appeared ... something. A transparent, almost invisible cloud shimmering with rainbow colors.

-Student West, I am your curator Voz that Spirit, air elemental, you can just contact me as a curator, - like a breeze rustled near my ear, - Your room 3025. Third floor, room twenty-five. The room is intended for four students of the same sex. Men's floors from the fifth to the seventh, I strongly recommend not to appear there after curfew. Our rector's military specialization has been the highest priority for the last twelve years, so some men are very ... tense. Relations between students are not encouraged, but no one will interfere. Mind you, some students from the third to seventh years have an imperial charter for owning slaves, so this is another pro for your absence from the men's floor.

To say that I was taken aback means to say nothing. What kind of establishment is this?! Certificate for owning slaves!!! Fall not get up, where did I go?! What is wrong with this world??? But one point still needed clarification:

- Curator, do women receive imperial letters of this nature? - I asked, barely holding my breath, yet, without knowing it, I could violate the law of the empire.

- As a rule, no, - the curator whispered, - students of necromancy are an exception. This honor still needs to be earned. If there are no more questions, go ahead. I attached a spell-guide to your spell-block so that you would not get lost, - he said and disappeared. I hurried to move away from the door, as other students were already hurrying in my direction.

“Mom, what the hell is going on here? Why do they need slaves if they are almost all mages here?! So, we must go and settle in, ”I slowly wandered to the right, I was drawn there as soon as I made the decision to move in. I decided to look at my block bracelet and stared with admiration at my hand, as if a purple one had been glued to the green strip, and with such an intricate pattern that you couldn’t tell that the spell bracelet was originally monophonic.

Students rushed past me, a couple of times I even saw older people in black and blue robes. Now the university has become similar to the university, and not to understand that with a bow.

I reached my room without any problems, since no one cares about anyone at first. I pushed open the door and entered, barely managing to dodge a huge branch flying at me. And the unimaginable was happening in the room: a tall girl in a beautiful green dress that ended in roots (for a second I again remembered “the arrival of a famous squirrel for my person”) was pulling her arms-branches in the direction of my acquaintance elf, who, in turn, tried to strangle some little animal, either a squirrel or a chipmunk.

- Repin's painting "Sailed", - I commented.

The girls froze, looked at me, which the animal took advantage of and slipped out the open window.

-Bastard! - emotionally yelled the elf out the window.

The second tree girl immediately released the elf and became as normal as possible with twigs and leaves in her hair.

-Why did you distract me?! - Natael angrily turned to me, - I almost strangled this lover to spy on unmarried girls!

“This is my future husband,” the tree girl stamped her foot, glaring in the direction of the elf.

- And there is nothing to hide your ferret in the women's room! All students are warned in advance, the division into rooms is rigid, all spouses, boyfriends, partners and anyone else are welcome OUTSIDE the university! - parried the elf.

-Diel is not a ferret, he is surim, threefold! He didn’t know that there would be someone else in the room besides me, and it’s only possible to get to our floor in this guise,” the tree girl said more calmly.

- Yes, for me, at least a demon! I, the heiress of the Darkbow elf, must share a room with Forest knows who! I agree only to this, but I do not intend to endure your men! - said the elf and slamming the door, she left the room.

We followed her with our eyes.

“Lana,” I introduced myself first, “half-human, half-I don’t know who, my parents didn’t enlighten me on this score.

-Daidra, wood evil spirits, - the maiden introduced herself with flashing eyes.

- Hic… who? - I somehow felt uncomfortable being alone with this ... with this creature, - and what do you, ... hmm, do you eat?

- I am evil spirits, - the girl chuckled, - do not be afraid, I will not touch you. We don't eat live. Yes, and it is impossible within the walls of the university, - she added sadly.
