"… I can't use magic as well," Noir revealed. "Wha—?!" Lorna and Galand both responded. "That can't be true Sir Noir. You used Magic to heal Sir Galand and myself, remember?" Lorna quickly added, remembering her first encounter with Noir. "Yes, and you also used it to transform that makeshift carriage. You also cast that Hibernation Spell on the Mage of the kidnappers right? You even taught the Young Lady Magic." Galand posited. "Besides, I know Sir Noir is amazing, but it's impossible to have…-

A dark, all-encompassing void spread about. Within this darkness, ripples of distortion spread about. Overlapping images and echoing sounds drifted. And at the center of the incomplete layers of memories… was a single being. "I'm not like you." A voice drifted in the subconscious realm as Noir floated through it. "Aren't you human too?" A feminine voice responded. Clearly, a conversation was going on here. Drifting images, blurred by uncertainty, appeared and vanished. "I…" A reply came forth…

"How boring…" The Truth muttered as he left the scene. His luxurious-looking shoes clacked on the hard ground of the vast compound as he stole away into the night. He only had one statement to make after seeing someone he used to respect in such a state. "Disappointing." Clearly, he was completely let down by Noir's poor performance. To think a powerful being could sink so low… it was frighteningly repulsive. >ZZZZTTTZZZZ< A low buzzing sound suddenly appeared. "Uh…?" The Truth felt a…

"…And I know you understood that. So why did you endanger yourself like that?" The Truth stared down at Noir as he pressured. For a moment, neither said a word. However, Noir could not resist the passive ability of his opponent. Before long, his quivering lips opened. "She… asked for my help." His tone was pathetic, much to the gentleman's disgust. The Truth stared at him for a while, donning an expression of disbelief. But, his confused silence only lasted a moment. "Hahahaha!" He burst into…

Sweat rolled down Noir's face as he stared at the man in front of him. The newcomer was smiling in a pleased and friendly manner, but Noir knew the danger behind his expression. Silence pervaded the area as a wave of uncomfortable pressure dominated the vicinity. "So you're not going to say anything, even after all these years?" He finally spoke. "What do you want?" Noir quickly replied, maintaining his guard. The man sighed, not letting up his relaxed smile for a moment. Slowly, he began to walk…

"… ." >VWUUUUSSSHHH< A vast amount of power suddenly emerged, Noir being the origin, and it spread at an alarming rate. Everywhere within a 50-meter range instantly got covered in darkness. Like a veil enveloping even the tiniest fragment of light, the layer of blackness covered all. Then, once the darkness subsided, light shone and everything finally became visible. "Alright…" Noir looked at the vanishing house and smiled. The Orange Glow around it was currently stagnant, and no activity…

It had been over 9 hours since that time, and Noir remained in his position, sleeping. It seemed even he had to take a small break. Truthfully, the young bodyguard had not had any sleep since he met Ciara. As things stood, he needed to regain some of his stamina. Thus, after seeing Ciara had finally fallen asleep, he followed suit. Before either one of the two knew it, night fell. And then— "Haa…" —Noir's eyes suddenly popped wide open. He instantly sprang from his seat, and with a quick…

'Hmm… what should I do now?' Noir watched as Ciara slept peacefully on her bed, recounting the events that had occurred during the day. He felt conflicted, to say the least, on the course of action that would serve him—no, everyone—best. * * * "Fine, I'll go." Ciara had said, finally agreeing to leave her room and see her father's message. Everyone was relieved to see her descend from the stairs, and Lorna even gave Noir a knowing look, winking at him. Of course, Noir had no idea of what…

"What?!" Ciara was fuming with surprise and anger as she stared blankly at the young woman in front of her. "H-he couldn't even bother to come?" She was burning with mixed emotions. Both the feeling of being neglected and that of fury. Lorna had just broken the rather distasteful news to Ciara, and now it seemed like all hell would break loose. It turned out her father could not make it due to certain 'unforeseen circumstances'. Instead, he sent a messenger to Ciara—who brought with him, a Magic…

Ciara lay on her bed, engrossed in a myriad of thoughts. Everything Trevor Netherlore had said, as well as their implications, began replaying in her mind. She had always been treated special because of her family's status but never had she thought she would be a special examinee among other talented individuals—especially in an Institution that valued merit above all. She had only one person to thank for this—Noir Novo. She was a bit upset at him though. "The least he could have done was to…
