Chapter 69 - The Lesson Begins

"Yes that's the Spirit Lizard Perv," Jasper cheered as B made his way to the planter, "Turn that Perviness into a passion for Power,"

"Lox Lotum," B demanded, resulting in an astounding amount of nothing.

"Your friend mentioned you use wind magic," Bree noted as she pulled her clipboard out and used her finger to write on it "Try incorporating that into your plant, it should work as a crutch until you get used to how the spell works,"

B simply nodded and focused hard on the back of his hand, there was silence from the class as he stared at the planter intently before yelling out loudly "Lox Lotum," Magic flooded the soil and Bree could tell he had put too much into it when he wobbled and nearly fell to the floor, being saved last moment by Chauncy.

"Easy now B," Chauncy said as he held his friend up. Several vines shot out of the soil and began wrapping around one another, Bree watched with interest as it took the shape of a small circular tower, four sets of Long Petals grew out and Bree recognized what B had made.

"Why, it's a Windmill," Bree laughed as the four petals began slowly rotating in place "Take note if you focus too much on making it look nice without being experienced with the spell you're going to drain yourself dry, but for the effort, I'll give it an A" Bree but down the name B with an A next to it, the words first lesson above it.

"Hm," The Twins said in unison, Bree unable to tell if they found the Windmill impressive or stupid.

"Now would anyone else like to give it a try?" Bree asked, looking around the class in search of any takers. Chauncy set B down on the table and both he and Bellamy took a Planter box, the Twins April and May both got up and took the Planter box closest to Bree, Kipo made her way to her own Planter and was joined by Jasper when it became clear Hanna had no interest in going near the planters, Lenny forced his brother Lester up and they left Leroy behind, Leroy got up and reached out to pull them back.

"Leroy," Bree warned "Don't make me come over there," Leroy sat back down, irritation etched on every part of his face as he glared at his brothers.

Bree watched silently as the students slowly began making their own plants, Bellamy showed his magic wasn't elemental in nature as he made a small bush with armored leaves. Chauncy ended up with a mushroom that started barking at him.

"Let's see," Bree said as she looked at their work, "Protection magic, and Familiar summoning?"

"That obvious?" Bellamy asked as he tapped his bush.

"I'm so sorry," Chancy said to the mushroom with an apologetic bow before raising his hand and removing the Familiar Spirit from the mushroom, causing it to crumble to dust. "I doubt it liked that," He said nervously.

"I'll give your mushroom a B due to the briefness of its existence, and the armored bush an A,"

"Lox Lotum," Lenny said nervously, producing a glowing Fern, Lester followed suit and made a Mushroom that started swelling, Lenny pulled his brother out of the way and Bellamy raised his hands upon seeing what was happening.

"Dome," He declared, covering the mushroom with a small Dome, there was a popping sound and the Mushroom exploded like a small firecracker, its burning pieces fell into the soil, Bellamy dropped his dome and groaned.

"Always with the explosives," He said irritably.

"That was awesome," Lester declared as he held his hand out to make another.

"Absolute Barrier," Bree declared, Putting a wall between Lester and the Planter "Yeah, I don't feel like dealing with exploding mushrooms, you get a C, and you can go sit back down," Lester grumbled and Bree dropped the barrier once he was back in his seat. "Oh, and I'll give the glowing Fern a B,"

"Whoa," Bellamy said in awe "I've never seen an Absolute Barrier before,"

"Kind of lame," Leroy chastised "A Plant and Barrier user, how did you even beat Argit, you trick him into beating himself or something?"

"She did make a gem flower, and she used fire to burn the trash away, so she probably knows four schools of magic," Hanna offered "Ya'know like Professor Yorgan," 

Bree didn't bother answering the question and instead walked over towards Kipo and Jasper, Kipo had grown a flower that had three glowing eyes, and Bree figured it had psychic abilities as the dirt around it was also floating, The Class watched as it floated upwards and then suddenly vanished.

"Hu," Bree said with a laugh "I'm sure that won't cause any major harm, A" Bree turned to Jasper, who had been patiently waiting for Bree to give him attention.

"Lox Lotum," He declared, Bree watched as a large Picture plant blossomed forth, it had visible teeth along the brim of its picture and the leaf that usually covered its top.

"A Carnivorous plant with teeth," Bree noted, she felt her hair stand on end as the Picture plant began building up an electrical charge, "and it's electrical in nature, how unique," Bree held up her hand and domed the plant as it attempted to electrocute her. "also violent, You also get an A,"

Jasper fist pumped at his grade while Bree walked over to the twins, who had made two Bonsai Trees, One of them had made one that had a little waterfall that fell from the leaves into a hole in the Tree, and the other one had leaves made of dozens of thine gemstones and a layer of rock around the tree, Bree noticed her own Gem Flower had fallen over from lack of support.

"Water and Earth magic," Bree noted "They work very well with Plant magic, Another set of A's"

"Thank you," They said in unison, Bree unable to tell either of them apart in the slightest.

"Now then, Leroy and Hanna you'll both be getting an F for not participating," Bree found no complaint from them and finished her grading "Alright then," She declared as she put the clipboard away "let's move on to the boring part, who here know the different parts of a flower, what they do, and what they are called," A groan rang out from across the room and Bree smiled, "I'll take that as no one knows. Now everyone takes your seats and I'll begin with flowers,"
