Ariel grinned as soon as her mother, Nigel and Fenris entered the classroom again.

Nigel hadn't agreed to Adeline's request to show some magic trick yet. Well, he didn't know any magic trick other than turning into a wolf. So there was no way he was going to agree to such an absurd request.
However, the moment Nigel's eyes fell on little Ariel's expectant eyes, he caved in and asked Adeline in a whisper, "Help me out, will you?"
Adeline also grinned exactly like Ariel and nodded.
And then Nigel said to the kids, "Okay, as per the special request of our little Princess Ariel, I will show you a simple magic trick."
"Yay!" Ariel laughed and clapped her hands.
On the other hand, the twins and Joyce didn't buy that Nigel was going to show them magic.
Nigel cleared his throat and then rubbed his palms together. He showed his empty palms to the children and then said, "I don't have anything in my hands, right?"
The kids nodded their heads. Ariel was the only one showing enthusiasm though.
Nigel then loosely fisted one of his palms and took a quick glance at Adeline before saying, "Now I am going to pull out a rose from my fist. Watch closely."
Ariel leaned forwards towards the bench in front of her so that she could 'watch closely' while the others still looked as unimpressed as ever.
Nigel looked inside his fist and a corner of his lips pulled up when he saw the stem of a rose. He confidently pulled that stem and lo and behold! He was able to pull a very beautiful red rose out of his fist.
"Whoa!" Ariel's jaw was wide open. She really liked her uncle's magic.
Nigel was happy to see that Ariel was an easy child to impress. He handed over the rose to Ariel and said, "This is for our sweet Princess."
"Thank you, uncle." Ariel gently pinched the stem of the rose and happily nodded. She was careful not to squish that rose the way she had squished the butterfly some time ago.
"Are you happy?" Nigel asked Ariel.
He wished she was satisfied by that one trick because he didn't want to make a fool of himself again. He didn't want to shout and announce what he was going to do so that Adeline would help him with the magic part.
However, before Ariel could answer, Theodore crouched beside Ariel with a mischievous smile on his face. And he spoke in order to provoke Ariel into asking for more tricks from Nigel, "Come on, Nigel. Show us something more. Anyone can pull a flower out of their fist."
Ariel instantly beamed and asked, "Yeah, take out a cow now. I want to see a cow."
Nigel narrowed his eyes at Theodore and smiled angrily.
Theodore was really enjoying teasing Nigel. So he smiled and riled up the kids even further. "Yeah, Nigel. Pull a cow from your fist. Show us, come on. Everyone, ask him to pull a cow."
"Yeah, we want a cow," Ramon instantly joined the chanting.
Niylah was quietly looking at her father but was hoping that her father would show some more tricks. Ariel would often brag about how her father could do the magic tricks. And she also wanted to brag to Ariel that her father could also do the same.
Adeline, however, scoffed and warningly raised her brows at Theodore. And she tried to shut him up. "Theo… we have to leave now."
"Yes, let's leave the kids to Fenris then." Nigel disregarded the provocation and tried to walk out of the classroom.
However, Ramon folded his arms and mocked his father, "Father! You are done already? Do you call pulling out a rose from your fist some magic? Even Joyce can to better magic than that."
And to support what her cousin had just said, Joyce flicked open her palm. In an instant, there was a whole bouquet of red roses in her hand.
Ariel's eyes as well as jaw were wide open when she saw that wonderful bouquet that Joyce was holding.
Joyce was sitting on the other side of Ariel with the twins in between.
Ariel instantly jumped on the bench and scaled the 'twins hurdle' to reach in front of Joyce. She brought her face way too close to the bouquet and asked Joyce, "Wow! They are so beautiful."
Ariel tossed the rose that Nigel had given to her. That rose flower instantly vanished the moment it touched the floor.
And then Ariel asked Joyce, "Can I take them?"
Joyce glanced at her uncle and proudly smiled as if to say that she was better than him before handing out the bouquet to Ariel.
Nigel placed his palm on his chest and dramatically said, "Ouch! Ary, how could you throw away that rose that I gave you? And how could you accept those flowers from Joy after tossing away mine."
Ariel was already admiring the bouquet that Joyce had given her. But when she heard the sad voice of her uncle, she hid the bouquet behind her back and turned around to give him a smile.
"Sorry! I will pick it up right..." Ariel looked down at the floor but she didn't see the rose anywhere. "Oh, no! Where did it go?"
By now, Fenris was already feeling a little agitated by the parents for not leaving the classroom. He didn't want them to waste any more of his time by laughing and chattering.
Moreover, he didn't want his students to disrespect him or be any less afraid of him just because he was the twins' uncle. He wanted to assert his dominance over the kids from the very first day. Because from what he had heard from Bennett, Ariel was the hardest lion cub to tame.
So he slammed his palms on the desk and surprised everyone.
And when he had everyone's attention, he glanced at the parents and asked them in a low growl, "Leave the classroom before I ban all of you from entering this classroom ever again."
The parents were surprised but at the same time, they felt a little guilty for overstaying their welcome in the classroom.
Adeline pointed her brows at the door and gestured for everyone to follow her out of the room.
And without saying a word or protesting even once, all of the parents walked out of the room.
Ariel was shocked by that sudden turn of events. She had always seen her mother and her father giving out orders to the others. And when she saw them taking orders from her teacher, she was instantly wary of Fenris.
She quietly slid down from the bench and returned to her chair. She put her Mr. Mouse on her lap and hugged him tightly.
Finally, when the class became silent, Fenris spoke while emitting the same overbearing aura, "That was all the fun that you all are going to have in this class."
He held his arms behind his back and glared at everyone in the room while saying, "I will be introducing you all to the supernatural beings that we can find on Earth. I will start today's class with the introduction of the cursed beings called the werewolves."
