Free Lissa Kasey - Dominion 2 - Reclamation by Lissa Kasey

taking me to school?” I asked Jamie.
“Werent you listening to anything I said? I did call him for you, and here he is.” Jamie handed me my coat, his expression a lot like Gabes got when he didnt want me to know what he was feeling. “Dress warm. Its barely two above.” He helped me put mittens over my bandaged hands and wrapped the scarf around me.
Kelly picked up my schoolbag. “Ready?” At least he looked happy to see me.
“Do you need me to pack you a lunch?” Jamie asked.
“Well eat on campus,” Kelly told him before I could open my mouth. And then we were off, headed to the car. We were pointed toward school before the first wave of exhaustion hit me. Kelly rambled about something.
I must have fallen asleep, since when he shook me awake we were already parked on campus. “Are you feeling okay?”
“Havent been sleeping well.”
“Dont sleep through class. Professor Wrig will never let you hear the end of it.” Kelly hoisted my bag over his shoulder. I followed him to class where he dropped me off. “Ill be back to pick you up for lunch.” He handed me my stuff.
“Okay. Ill probably be in the library.” The bookbag felt oddly heavy today. The professor approached me as I was pulling my mittens off with my teeth.
“Everything all right, Mr. Rou?” Wrig asked, probably noticing the bandages. “Do you need someone to take notes for you?”
I shook my head. “I brought a digital recorder. Can I put it on your desk? My brother will help me type up notes later.” Gabe had put the recorder on top of my stuff last night, telling me it was charged and ready to go.
“Sure.”
I had to use my hands as a sort of shovel to get the recorder out, but the professor took it and placed it on her desk. It would hold up to two hours of audio.
The class went by pretty fast. The professor handed me back my recorder and actually helped me pack up my bag. She reminded me of a paper due at the end of the week and asked if I needed an extension. I had forgotten the paper. Didnt even have a topic yet.
After promising to complete it on time, I headed to the classroom I used to teach the class the Dominion had set up as my punishment, Counter Hexes, Curses, and Magic Nullification.
There were actually more than forty students in my class. Some of them male, and as far as I knew, not enrolled in magic studies in general. I pulled out my notebook and took my place in front of the class. “Morning, class,” I greeted.
“Morning, Mr. Rou,” half a dozen students piped up. The girls rarely talked; the guys were vocal. But everyone always seemed to be listening and taking notes.
“Can I have one volunteer to write on the board for me today?” I asked.
Sam Mueller raised his hand from his spot in the front row. He had a sort of eerie resemblance to me, being a somewhat small Ameri-Asian male with dark hair, though his eyes were green and hair short. Like me, he was a little more on the pretty side of male rather than handsome. He was the loud sort, but seemed to pay attention.
“Thanks, Sam.” I gestured him to the chalk. He got up from his seat and went to the board. “Today Im going to be talking about nullification.” Jamie and I had created this lesson plan more than a week ago. Sam wrote nullification on the board in big letters and underlined it.
“Unlike counter curses and hexes, nullification is not a spell. You can have an enchanted object with a nullification effect, but you cant cast a spell to nullify something thats already been placed on you. Can anyone tell me why?” I asked the class.
No one raised their hand. Sams rose next to me.
“Sam?”
“Nullification is something you are, not something you make.”
“Correct. Its not an actionable spell. So if you have a nullified object, you can use it to counter all the magic in the room, actionable or otherwise. But the only way you can make it actionable is to throw the object or move it.” I motioned to Sam. “Write non-actionable down, please.”
