"Uh, I'm Ciara De Versace Dunroe, but I guess you already knew that." Her smile was awkward, but she kept it glued to her face. "Of course, of course. I make it my duty to look at the profile of everyone who wants to enroll in the Institute every year." Trevor said with a smile. "Just in case someone… exceptional… surfaces." "And that person is me?" Ciara replied, half-questioning herself. "Well, yes. Truthfully I never imagined you would display such an amazing performance. I had ruled you out…-

The torrent got stronger with each passing moment, trapping Ciara at the center. "Can you stop it?" One of the Examiners asked. It seemed like a rather foolish question, considering the absurdity of someone like Ciara even commanding a Tier 2 Spell, to begin with. "U-uh.. yeah, I think." The young girl nervously responded. 'Can I really do this? Should I just ask for help?' No! There was no way she would do something that would negatively affect the Examiners' rating of her ability. 'I… I have…

Magic had four major categories. Spells Runes Enchantments Enhancements Spells were the specialty of most who applied at the Magic Institute since it was so diverse and required countless training and expertise to master—not to mention formal education. Runes also required these, but only a few individuals had interest in it to begin with. As for Enhancements and Enchantments, they were mostly used by adventurers and warriors—not requiring formal education but countless years of training and…

"You're now a Tier 2 Mage." Ciara weakly smiled at Noir's encouraging words. "Why don't you open your Status Window now?" Noir told her. "Whew… You don't take breaks do you?" Ciara asked him in disbelief as she panted. She just finished a grueling session, yet he was giving her another instruction "Just do it." "Fine…" Ciara's voice trailed. She was a bit hesitant to check her progress, but Noir's pleased look gave her a bit of confidence. ". " Allowing the blank-faced man access to her…

'No. I can't be certain. Let's not jump to conclusions…' Chiding himself, Noir stared at the young damsel beside him. She was still putting up an obviously displeased expression, but he ignored it anyway. Still, Ciara now had a bit of his attention. Noir finally gave some deeper thought about her. 'It seems the situation was grimmer than I thought.' Ciara must have known about her Rare Bloodline. That was why she was so hesitant to let him see her Status Information. However… 'From the looks of…

"It's almost time…" Noir murmured as he waited downstairs for Ciara to show up. He had taken care of things on his part, and he had some time to spare. There were no seats available, so he stood— waiting by the door—while resting his back and his right foot on the building wall. Noir had spoken to both Lorna and Galand about Ciara's unreasonable request. As expected, they were hesitant about the idea at first, but they eventually gave up any idea of resisting. They must have realized that they…

The rain poured heavily that night Noir, Lorna and Galand took shade under the Magic Barrier made by the oldest-looking member of the bunch. They also slept on the makeshift beds that were transformed using his magic. Though the rain could not reach the trio, and they were kept warm by the white balls of light floating within the glowing dome, it still took them a while to sleep that night. Perhaps it was due to all the excitement experienced that day, or maybe the sounds generated as the rain beat…

"I can understand why you must be on edge, especially after all that has happened today. You should both also get some rest." Noir began, calmly. "I don't think our being attacked is the major cause for her being startled. Even I could not sense your presence until you spoke. What kind of Spell was that?" Galand asked, unable to cage his curiosity any longer. Noir Novo was a man of many mysteries. After rescuing them and fetching the young lady, he had spoken with Lorna and Galand for a short…

In a single leap, Noir elevated himself to the entrance of the cave, where he saw exactly what he expected. The Mage—who was already frightened for his life—was holding the young lady captive. He had a knife near her throat, but his hands were shaking nervously. "D-don't come any closer… or I'll k-kill her!" He threatened sharply. The desperate man's bloodshot eyes told Noir that he meant what he said. However, his words remained ineffective. "With what?" A question rang forth. The Mage…

Ciara closed her eyes as she finally succumbed to being violated and eventually sold off. Her life would end at that very moment and she would live a new one worse than death… Only despair awaited her. "What's this that's going on here?" A voice came from outside the cave. "Who's there?" One of the goons asked as he unsheathed his sword and faced the owner of the unrecognized voice. The strange figure entered into the cave and they all saw the young man who stood before them. Ciara opened her eyes…
