Chapter 4 4

- Okay, okay, I won't argue anymore - in my opinion, Emma didn't take him seriously, in other ways I was no longer interested in it, and all my attention went to the house.

The house was bright, spacious and expensive. When she went in and took off her shoes, her feet sank into a white downy carpet, which stretched almost from the beginning of the corridor to the end of the living room, here in general half of the floor was covered with a white carpet. The living room had a long sofa (apparently for some kind of events or large dinners), as well as many bookcases, a fireplace in the center and a small coffee table a little further from the sofa. After the living room was the kitchen, which was insanely clean, apparently Emma loved this part of the house very much and looked after it. There were only four rooms on the second floor, of which the very first door on the left was mine, and the door opposite, as I understood later, from Emma's story, was Dick's room. My room didn't look that expensive, which I really liked. The room had two huge windows and a large bed, as well as a wardrobe and a bathroom.

- Here, settle down, dear, there will be dinner in the evening, will you come or will you bring food here? Emma asked me with a smile.

- No, thanks, I'll come to dinner - she answered with a smile and Emma left, leaving me in the room with Dick.

- I think I'll go to dinner, you probably can not wait, oh yes, I almost forgot, I'll leave you money for clothes - he put the card on the nightstand next to the bed.

"But, I don't need money, I can pay for everything myself," I said reproachfully.

- This is not discussed, I am your debtor, and in our flock it is customary to repay for help - he said with the same indifference that infuriated me more and more, and most importantly, he left and did not even say a simple "bye", what to do goat, he is a goat.

I sorted out my things and decided to take and read some book. I went to the bookcase, where of all the known titles there was only "The Round Table and King Arthur", I already wanted to take this book, although it was not interesting to me, but a book called "Magical Creatures of the Valley of Death" attracted my attention.

On the first page was drawn a strange beast, the head of a cat or a feline predator, the body of a dragon, the same sinuous, long claws on the paws, and under the drawing was the inscription Ashsharass, and on the next page was written its description.

"A popular animal that is constantly found in Death Valley. As you can see, he has the head of a wild cat animal, and the body of a winding dragon, with long claws that help him rip open the belly of other animals. the body of a dragon, can't. During the mating period, it's better not to catch their eye, since I can simply kill you, but if Ashsharass sees you at any other time, he can easily pass by and even pretend not to notice, but it's better not to tempt fate and hide if possible .

Ashsharasses are monogamous, so when one of them dies, the second one kills, or tries to kill the killer, and if it was an accident, then they simply look for death. In the dark market they are popular as pets, or as an accessory to their teeth and claws."

While I was reading, I did not notice how I began to feel sleepy, then I remembered dinner and decided that I would not go. So I went to bed and when my head touched the pillow, I instantly fell asleep.

The next morning I woke up from the fact that the room smelled of very tasty pastries and, it seems, even coffee. I sat on the bed and looked at the bedside table and indeed, there was a tray on which there were two buns: one croissant and the second with poppy seeds, as well as coffee, everything I like, I immediately remembered the house and it ached in my heart. So, you need not to sour and look positively. Today I was going to ask Dick or Emma about some institution where they teach something and preferably medical, but I didn't entertain myself with hopes, and I didn't want to sit at home all day, so I put on my favorite trousers and a short T-shirt (on it was summer outside. I found Emma in the kitchen, she was cooking again, something delicious.

- Oh, I woke up, Mina probably woke you up - she said, and I thought about who Mina was.

- Excuse me, but who is Mina? And yes, I woke up myself so don't worry, she didn't bother me, I answered.

"Mina is my housekeeper, her master pulled her out of some trouble and brought her here, if anything, she doesn't talk, and if she does, she talks very little," Emma warned me.

- Well - I thought, and immediately remembered that I wanted to ask Emma.

- Emma, please tell me, do you have any educational institutions where they teach medicine? I asked.

- Hmm, - the bear thought (as I later found out, she really was a werebear) - perhaps the Werewolf Academy will help you with something, it is located on the other side of the city - she answered.

"Maybe, but can you give me the exact address?" I asked.

- So let me ask Daniel to take you there - she suggested, and I thought about whether to take a walk or better yet by car. - Don't worry, Daniel is the personal driver of the master - and I decided that I was still in the car.

- Yes, thank you, ask if it's not difficult for you - I answered.

- It's not difficult at all, in five minutes you can already go outside - she winked at me and left, and I thought that perhaps only the only Emma treats me normally.

As agreed, I went out into the street exactly five minutes later and there was that black Lexus that took us here, and next to him was a young nice guy, not tall, with light blond curly hair and eyes of the blue sea.

- Hello, my name is Jane - I introduced myself to him with a smile.

- Hello, I'm Daniel, Emma said you need to go to the Werewolf Academy, right? he asked smiling.

"Yes," I replied with a suspicious smile.

- Okay, no problem, sit down, I'll take you in ten minutes - the guy turned out to be a merry fellow, but his gaiety alarmed me.

After we reached the Academy in complete silence, I got out of the car and said dry farewell to the driver.

- I'll kind of wait here until you go home, as the owner ordered you to wait - he said, grinning again.

- Well - I said with indifference and immediately thought that I was gradually turning into Dick, I speak with the same indifference as he did.

And I went to the high gates of the Academy. While walking, I looked around such a big castle, which looked like a castle from Harry Potter. The castle had high spiers, on which flags were hung, as I understood the local authorities. The flag featured a crowned golden lion on a black background. As soon as I approached the gate and tried to open it, the spirit of a man, shabby looking, and even with a folder in his hands, immediately flew out at me. By the way, to say that he scared me is to say nothing.

- Hello, my name is Tai and I'm the spirit of the Werewolf Academy, do you want something? - With a calm mine on his face, this ... spirit asked!

After a bit of shock, I answered. "Yes, I would like to join you, but.... - and without letting me finish, the spirit interrupted me.

- Well, then follow with me, I will take you to the director - and, without waiting for me, I really went to the director.

I, while following him, examined the Academy from the inside. It was beautiful here, tables with benches were even set up in some areas. I got, apparently for a break, so the students mostly lived on the street, some taught, some dined, and some just rested. What struck me was that none of the students even paid attention to me, and if they did, they threw a fleeting glance and went about their business.
