"We might be taking her by surprise by this, but then she'll have no choice!" he laughed.
"I'll be taking you to Blackgale. Very nice town,, nice people. And..."
HIs face turned serious for a moment.
"Magic. You'll be safe, but the magic is strong. Strong is dangerous. Dangerous attracts more dangerous things."
And then he was all toothy smiles again.
"Enjoy yourself, don't be in such a hurry to go back!"
He speeds down roads and highways with ease with no traffic to impede them. Within two hours, they've arrived.
Blackgale. A beautiful town by all accounts and a thriving one at that. There's a park, downtown is bustling, and it's very green. Occasionally, some stray cats can be spotted on rooftops and window sills and their eyes follow the car. Their real destination is...
Blackgale... High School.
Hoang goes in first, telling Taka to wait in the car. He goes into the front office. It takes a few minutes, but then he returns, cheerfully telling Taka to wait in a meeting room he's just reserved for him.
Meanwhile, Miss Amelia Steinbeck is teaching her Period 5 AP Literature class, going over Ovid's Metamorphoses. It is a totally normal non-magic day.]
