Serafina smiles happily, but keeps an eye on him while studying her spellbook at the same time.
After a while, Avis comes back with a live rat hanging from her mouth, frantically flinging to escape.
Serafina takes the rat away and gently scolds Avis, then brushes the rat’s fur before setting it down again.
It runs away to a vacant seat and changes shape to a young elven girl, who seems to be relieved and traumatized at the same time.
“Oh! I’m so sorry.” Serafina apologizes profusely to the poor girl.
“It’s, it’s fine.” She smiles, but her eyes still show the fear. “I don’t kn-know why I became a rat. I-I wanted to be a cat. Wh-why can’t I get this right?” She starts to sob a little.
Serafina hugs her. “It’ll be ok. Let me help you study till we get there. I’m good at that.”
“Y-you’ll really do that. Th-thank you. M-my names Sofia. yours?” She wipes her tears and reaches to shake your hand.
“Serafina. Nice to meet you. And don’t worry. You’ll do great on the entrance exams.”
I thought it was a trial. Like a physical test of skill, not an exam. Have I been practicing for the wrong thing? What if I fail?!” The tears are coming back.
Serafina shakes her head frantically. “No, I think you’re right. Like a test of magical skill. I’m not sure, but I think that’s what I heard.”

Wilson II looks over at his two "favorite" (IE, most willing to interact with him) cupcakes, Slom and Glom, and sighs. He places one into a cabinet and the other into a drawer as he turns up the radio and sits down to listen closer.
A male announcer is speaking. “That’s right folks. Lady Agatha, City Council representative for the undead, is making a speech at the Ralley today, and we have exclusive live audio on the scene.”
He leans closer. It seems the shop will be closed a bit longer than usual this morning. Wilson II has always had a mixture of fascination and fear for the undead of the city, which is not an uncommon sentiment.
“The speech will start soon. Until then, we have a sponsor message from head of Ichi’s Space Exploration Program, or ISEP.”
He snorts. He should have enough time to get there is person if he catches a taxi. Who cares about space anyway?
He grabs his hat and cane, then pauses. He opens the drawer and grabs Glom, shoving the gremlin into his pocket before starting his daring trek.
The streets are busy today, with multiple pop-up vendors outside, selling produce and other objects. A small group of people are chanting something about their god, but you push that aside as everyone does that nowadays.
Wilson thinks for a moment, then decides he can sell candy after the speech. He keeps walking, fidgeting with the latch on his portable storefront as he does. With luck, he'll get there before it starts.
Luckily for you, your shop isn’t that far from the Central Ichi Auditorium. Unluckily, theirs a sign on the front door saying at maximum capacity, No more visitors allowed.
Axelle grins at Bean’s comment. <I agree with you. I thought he would be unapologetic at almost crushing you. That might just be because I’m terrified of undead.>
The minotaur keeps looking down at you, their eyeless sockets seemingly peering into your soul. “Did I say all that in my head?”

“What do you think it will be. My big sister says it changes every year. When she took it, she said she had to use see invisibility to cross a narrow and random bridge while using shield to block sandbags thrown at her. I’m hoping this test isn’t that hard.”
Serafina shakes her head. “I have no clue.” She snaps her fingers. “I’m a warlock. I’ll ask my patron!” She reaches out to her patron, the archfey known as the Snow Queen, to see if she has any idea what will be on the test.

Thinking quickly, Wilson pulls out: a climbing kit, a grappling hook, and 50ft of rope. Walls cannot hold such a creature!

You hear a faint whisper saying, “the dean told me not to tell you.”

“The head of the school, I think. I’m not sure…”
