That was the second time Mia had yelled in his ear. The first happened to be right after the first task when she had called for the Healer. It was almost the same now, except Professor Dodson was no Healer whatever her name is. Oh well, Nikolai didn't need to know her name.

But back to class.

The girl who fell on the plant would be fine, he knew that, and he also knew just how much pain she was in. Nik would have volunteered to escort the girl, but a young boy had beat him to it. It wasn't like he needed the class, but the boy did. Well, he wasn't going to go and chase the boy. He was probably halfway there by now. Besides, he'd rather stay and bother help Mia.

Standing up, he frowned towards the dead plant on the Professor's desk before moving back towards Mia. Hopefully she didn't try her new technique again. "So. Do you vant to try this again? Only this time vith the directions on the board?"
