Mia looked up, and what appeared on her face was the usual and casual smile she always had on. "I don't know what you're talking about." She answered. "B-but..." Ciara protested. "Besides..." Mia interrupted her. "Since you, as my friend, love and accept me for who I am, I don't care about the opinions of others. Since I have you..." Mia continued, smiling brightly. "Oh, yeah... I guess you're right." Ciara said. Was it just her imagination? She felt weird vibes from Mia just now. And her smile...…-

The next day of school was something Ciara looked forward to. She was excited to walk with Mia to their classes. Perhaps it was because she had never really had a friend her age, but Ciara really enjoyed the moments she spent with her new friend. They met up at the lobby downstairs, and Mia greeted Ciara with a wholesome smile, really pleased to see Ciara waiting for her. They decided not to waste any more time hanging around and went to class immediately after greeting themselves. They got to class…

"There's supposed to be an Election within your class for the position of Class Rep. If you are interested in running for this position, you can raise your hand." Professor Lawcroft posited. There were little side talks in the hall, students whispering among themselves and deciding whether or not to raise their hands. "I think I'm gonna give it a try." One said. "No way, like I could win." Another murmured. "W-What if 'She' competes too?" Someone else added. Ciara heard these and realized that many…

School was nothing Ciara pictured it to be. An Institution boasting the highest prestige in the Empire, grooming the future mages of the world, yet it was not the way she expected it to be. The night before the first day of proper classes was the Orientation, which she enjoyed greatly. She was already so motivated and raring to go. On the day of classes, she woke up early, got everything set, and left her dorm. She promised Mia that they would meet in class, but maybe she should have decided for them…

Ciara arrived at the orientation center sooner than she expected. As she stepped into the large hall, the view amazed her. The hall was incomparably larger and more exquisite compared to where the previous exams had been held. There were countless numbers of chairs that spanned across the whole hall, leaving the stage at the bottom empty, with a pulpit and lights. The rest of the hall was brightly lit, and the students there were chattering among themselves. The cliques and groups were evident, and…

The sun rose, indicating the start of a brand new day. The birds chirped, the early morning breeze filled the air, and the chattering of people dominated everywhere. The crowd was unbelievable, countless people from various and diverse walks of life and regions gathered in a single location. From the budding youth to the elderly. There could only be one reason for this happening... ... The Magic Institute had finally resumed. Naturally, the day the school resumes would be when the doors to the…

'This has to end.' Noir admitted he was having fun, but he had to stop. He had to remember his purpose, and also had to ensure the innocents before him never got wrapped up in his selfishness and problems. But for tonight, he would play along. Just for tonight. * * * It was a fun night for everyone. Galand had his fill of alcohol until he started doing weird dances and singing horribly. Lorna also appeared a bit drunk, and clung to Noir, muttering unintelligible words. Then there was Ciara.…

Noir looked at the hopeful faces of his three pupils. He had an indescribable emotion welling up within him, but he kept it in check. The training that went on for 3 months was finally over, and the results were evident. "Not bad..." Noir decided to look at their Status Windows and view the information. They had all showed him their Information at the start of the training, but that was the only time he had seen it. He had held off from checking again himself since they would view it as an invasion…

Noir stared face to face with former strangers. Their eyes were on him, and he carefully observed them. For a brief, yet seemingly long moment, there was silence. Noir remembered when he told them; "These three months will be the most painful moments of your lives. But at the end of it... you'll be totally unrecognizable from your past selves." Three months had passed since then, and finally... It was time for the final class. "Fight me. All three of you." Noir ordered, with his usual…

It was a dark night—darker than usual. The moon's light was dimmed and the clouds covered what was left of it. The breeze that blew indicated the coming of a storm. Within the huge mansion in the dark garden was the well-lit office. The man seated at the owner's side of the desk was busy. Piles of paperwork were before him, and he diligently looked at them—at least the ones he could look at—either signing or writing another draft as a reply to the senders of the letters and documents. As he…
