By the time Merlin had gotten back to the dorm, Hakyun was already back to his usual self—which he half appreciated and half hated. After all, he had wanted to apologize if he’d done or said something wrong. Meeting Hakyun in a good mood meant that he couldn’t bring up that conversation again as it would dampen the mood; in other words, apologizing was impossible. He’d hated it at the time, but he was well over it now. After all, he had to concentrate. “You ready?” Hakyun said, as four rocks lying around were hoisted into the air by an invisible force so that they hovered near his shoulders. Merlin cleared his throat. “A moment,” he requested. “You said that two minutes ago. What are you hesitating for?” Hakyun growled. “Just get on with it already! I wanna see anti-magic at work!” Merlin’s brows twitched. “You’re here to help me train, not enjoy yourself.” “Do I look like a puppet to you?” Hakyun spat. “Of course I’m here to enjoy myself; your training is the bonus. Don’t misinterpret what’s going on here. Got it?” Merlin snorted. “Would you both just get on with it already? We only have an hour.” Chima yawned. They were within the dorm training room Hakyun had told them about a day past, which was…not exactly a room, but a combination of smaller rooms within a room, all possessing whatever a Mage would need for their training. And Merlin was not kidding. There were artificial clouds hovering above their heads, which he believed were for the Mages who could control lightning or similar elements. There was also a switch to the entrance that was used to toggle the scenery of the room so that it fit whatever one needed for training realism. Sadly, though, it could only be controlled by the dorm master as a means of preventing the students from turning it into a plaything. That aside, Hakyun had requested for a rocky terrain, which was why they were standing in the middle of a canyon. The fact that such was possible was absurd to Merlin—and crazy—simulation or otherwise. The facilities of Prestige Academy kept proving to be nothing to scoff at the more he came across them. However, he was here to catch up on the training he had been missing for the past few days and not to be amazed. Ever since he’d stepped into the Academy, he had not been able to have a moment to himself to nourish his abilities. Of course he kept up with his meditations and trance-like states, having to shift the time allocated to them to early mornings instead, because he was always so stressed out at night. But they were the only ones still moving at their regular pace. On the bright side, the headmaster had gotten back to him already and had agreed to the request he’d made. Now he could get back on track with his physical workouts. Thankfully, his roommates were also more than happy to help with his anti-magic training.
