"You," Professor Sirius Quinn called out, pointing towards the red haired boy, "what's your name?"
The boy hesitantly looked around, but the lecturer's scary eyes were still on him so he hesitantly stood up and introduced,
"Flint," he said, "Flint Ardent."
"Would you mind telling us what rifts are?" Sirius said with a small smile on his lips, to anyone else, it'd just seem like he was a petty teacher getting back at a student, but no.
This was just his method of discipline and maybe also a way to get the kid actually interested in this class.
"Umm," Flint thought about it for a short while before replying, "a portal through which Eclipsed step into our world?"
"Correct," Sirius said with a proud smile on his face causing Flint's cheeks to take a slightly red shade.
"Rifts are portals that connect Aureum to what scholars call the Eclipsed Realm," hr continued, tapping his tablet to switch the hologram to a swirling, dark vortex.
