Cheaper Than Tuition

Description
Being a student at a magic university is not any easier than it is in our 'regular' world. There's university tuition to pay, crammed dorms and a never-ending supply of books and equipment you can hardly afford. The difference is that sometimes, along with those difficulties - and unlike anything you might face in a normal university - there are also very challenging and tempting choices you must make.

- Cosmo17498Royal Road★★★★ 4.0This is a lovely little short, which could easily turn into a longer story. You managed to include enough hints and mystery to make it feel like there is more to see on the currently non-existent next pages. I really liked your descriptions, they have an emotionality to them that that many people often struggle to include. Your style is very clear and understandable, though I did spot a couple potential word errors.
You manage to make your characters distinct, though I must say, based on what is in the text, I'm a little lost on the motivations of Cecilia. The obvious implication for her scrying is that she is homesick, but this is not very well supported by the rest of the story. As well, her taking interest in the offers of whatever it is she summoned just feels very sudden due to her so recently disparaging against Malindra. Cecilia's reasons are clearly outlined and make sense, I'm just saying her doing that feels more unnatural that it would if she hadn't done that.
Otherwise, I can't find anything to complain about, aside from this being all there is. I know you have already said you don't have plans to continue this, but know you would have one happy fan if you ever do!
