Despite a terrible night's sleep I managed to write the next chapter of Dawn of Courage ("The Magic School Fuss"). I actually started it yesterday but deleted most of it because I didn't like how it was flowing. Also ended up much longer than expected but I'm going to give a shorter summary because I'm still exhausted.
The party makes it to the next town and meets Nina's old magic teacher. He takes them to the Magic Academy, one of about 13, so they can help him with his elemental magic class. Nova sits it out as he can't use magic naturally so he'd be useless, instead working on his magical accessories. Another teacher named Samantha picks a fight with him, as she apparently hates young men, thinking they're "sex-driven morons" but is chased off by Headmaster Levi, who explains that Samantha had a change for the worse two years ago and now hates young men. She also mentions that thugs have been harassing the female students. Nova suggests talking to Sir Reginald, since he knows it's inevitable that the party will get involved, which the headmaster does just that. However, Samantha comes back and begins attacking Nova with magic, but he uses an Aura Gauntlet to shield himself from it. Nina defends Nova and subdues Samantha, and Levi fires Samantha and banishes her from the grounds. After Samantha is removed from the school Nova talks about his past and how he hates schools and teachers due to the trauma he's endured. And yet he feels guilty for getting Samantha fired despite being the victim of the event. Nina comforts him, saying he's too good for Edyn or Earth if he's willing to feel bad for his aggressor. The next chapter, "Salvaging a Soul from Self-Destruction", is the second part of this event.
