Ariana finally understood that magic was not all what it was cracked up to be . It hindered the evolution of human kind and kept the world that she was now residing in practically in the dark ages . "I wonder if what you are looking for is at Capital University . " Xander said as he closed his book . "I doubt it . " Icarus said as he crossed his arms and closed his eyes . "Honestly it seems like something dangerous . Borderline anarchy . " He said . "How so?" Ariana asked . "Well think about it . If something that seems so amazing successfully replaces something that is miraculous who would lose the most?" Icarus asked as he opened one eye and looked at Ariana .

" . . . The church . " Ariana replied with great hesitation . "Exactly!" Icarus proclaimed as he pounded the table . "It wouldn't be by much though . I mean the jewel eyed priestess has not performed as many miracles as she had done in the past . Even then one has to 'donate' a substantial amount of money to the church to even be put on the waiting list . " Xander said with a melancholy look . "What do you mean by waiting list?" Ariana asked . "Well I guess you're not very religious are you?" Xander asked as he raised an eyebrow .

Advertis.e.m.e.nt "I can proudly say I have never entered a church since I was two days old . " Ariana said with a puffed out chest . "Strangely specific . " Icarus said with a laugh . "Not really . If you knew her well enough you would know she was being dead serious . " A familiar voice said . Ariana looked up and started to beam . "You guys came!"

"We just handed in our own drafts . " Edlyn said as they reached the table . Talisha frowned, the table Ariana and the boys were sitting at only accommodated four people . She went over to another table, easily picked it up and had Halina grab two more chairs . Talisha placed the ends of the table side by side just as Edlyn sat bashfully beside Xander . "So where haven't you gone to since you were two days old?" Halina asked as she put the chairs down . Each girl looked at the seat next to Icarus and nodded . They decided to sit beside each other instead, opposite of Icarus . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .

"Church . " Ariana said bluntly .

"Ugh! Don't mention that awful place to me . " Halina groaned as she rubbed her arms . Gooseb.u.mps appeared in her body as she recalled what her mother's letter said . "Careful with your words . Not everyone views the church the same way us girls do . " Talisha said as half her face became dark . "At least we are on the same page . " Icarus said as he balled his hands into fists . "I can never forgive them, especially the priestess . Twisted snake, sucks the good out of everything she touches . Helping the church extort money from everyone regardless of their personal situations . " Icarus spat .

Everyone had gone silent . the girls looked at Ariana but she had already shrouded her face . "I think I have enough for my draft . " Ariana said as she started to quickly collect her things . "Wait . " Icarus said as he grabbed Ariana's wrist . "I don't think you're ready to hand it in yet . " Icarus said with a pleading undertone .

Ariana pulled her wrist free and started to rub it with her other hand . As if Icarus's touch was something detestable . "It's a draft . Once I speak with my grandmother I will be able to get my book . Then I can make more notes and add it on to my draft later . " Ariana said shortly as she gave Icarus a cold glare . "Thank you so much for your help . I will be going now . " Ariana said as she grabbed the books . She then got her bag and walked towards the front desk, carrying all the books they had the minny kappy collect for them earlier . "Sorry, we came to help Ariana . . . We will be leaving too . " Edlyn said as she bowed to Xander . "Oh . . . Do you need me-um, us to walk you back to the dorms?" Xander asked as he got up from his chair .

Edlyn lifted herself up and looked at Talisha and Halina . They didn't give her ni indication that they cared what she would do . "I'm sorry . Maybe next time . " Edlyn said before they turned and chased after Ariana . "They left pretty fast . Did I say something wrong?" Icarus asked . Xander's face paled as he glared at Icarus . "Most likely . " He replied .

Ariana was fighting the urge to cry as she approached the front desk . She wasn't particularly attached to this body's mother . Her soul was only residing inside the empty body but she couldn't stop her feelings from welling up, in all honesty her heart ached . She needed something to distract her from her feelings and she caught sight of Gregory being hara.s.sed by Ms . Boswell . Ariana smirked as she approached the desk . "What time are you done?" Ariana asked as the placed the large pile of books on top of the counter . "Who are you asking?" Ms . Boswell asked as she grabbed Gregory's arm and embraced it with her whole body .

"I was asking . " Ariana said but was rudely interrupted by Ms . Boswell who raised her hand to Ariana's face, signaling for her to stop talking .

"I'm here until closing time . If you have more work to do you are welcome to come back but be warned we close at 8:00 p . m . on Fridays . 8 o'clock sharp . Please understand that 'employees' need to have the right to have their old knees up . " Ms . Boswell said as she looked up at Gregory .

"That's nice . " Ariana said as she gently pushed Ms . Boswell's hand to the side . "But I wasn't asking you . " Ariana said with a small smile . "I was asking . " Ariana tried to explain again but was rudely interrupted by Ms . Boswell slamming her palm against the counter . She immediately let Gregory's arm go and brought an accusing finger to Ariana's face . Edlyn, Talisha and Halina just came in time to see Ms . Boswell's face twist with anger and contempt . "Look here! Just because you have nice baps on you and a young face doesn't mean that you can go out on a pull tonight! Wanting to snog an older gentleman like a twit! Honestly you're nothing but a chav and should go home to your mother! Stop pestering the adults! He ain't into you! So ta ta . " Ms . Boswell shouted so loudly that it called everyone's attention .
