Drake jolted awake from the scene.

"Drake, you okay? Got a fever?" A richly dressed woman patted his shoulder. "Remember to get along with your new classmates. Make friends and don't act up."

"Mom?" He stared, stunned.

Mary Lowe jumped. "What's with you today? Look, Arcane Academy's top-tier. Once you're there..."
