After the class is dismissed, Selina went to the main gate of Seraphium Royal Academy, the place where both her parents waiting for her.
"Mom, Dad!" Selina called her parents.
"Se… Selina? Is that you?" Her father, Zhihao flabbergasted at Selina's change of appearance.
"Of course it is me. Who else if not your daughter Selina, Dad?" Selina answered her father with a mischievous tone.
"Y… Your hair and eyes have changed color, even your eyebrows, and eyelashes!" This time Diana stutteringly said.
Confuse, fear, and nervous apparent from her tone of voice.
"Teacher Albus said that it is a sign of me having S class mana amount," Selina reassured both her parents.
"Really? You're fine, right?" Diana, her mother was still a little afraid of a negative effect that may appear to Selina. Her milky white hand touched Selina's head, stroking her pure white hair.
"En!" Selina nodded as a response.
*Sigh*
"Then all is well." Diana breathed a sigh of relief.
"How about your element affinity?" This time Zhihao took the opportunity to ask his daughter.
Selina smiled widely at her father's question.
"I have triple affinities!" Selina said happily, answered Zhihao's question.
"Triple affinities? Really? With what elements?" Zhihao's eyes widened, surprised at the news that his daughter brought up.
"I have affinities with Water, Wind, and Light elements."
Zhihao lifted Selina and spun around like a child who got a candy.
"My daughter is a genius!" Zhihao exclaimed happily.
Hearing the word "genius" which Zhihao said made Selina remember Arthur who also has triple affinities.
"Father, I am not a genius if I can't beat Rosenfeld and be a top scorer of my year. In fact, he also has triple affinities," Selina said dispiritedly.
"He also has triple affinities?" Zhihao asked, making sure of what he just heard.
Selina nodded and said, "Yes, he has affinities with Fire, Earth, and Darkness elements."
After hearing Selina's words, Zhihao stroked Selina's head.
"It's okay, one day if you work hard enough you will be able to defeat this Rosenfeld boy," said Zhihao, trying to encourage Selina.
"Really?"
"En!" Zhihao nodded.
Selina then looked at Diana. Diana who is being looked at by Selina also nodded while smiled gently at her daughter. Looking at her mother who gave her a silent encouragement, Selina's will to beat Arthur soared again.
"Yes, I will beat Rosenfeld and be a top scorer!" Selina said while clenching both hands and lifting them up.
"Let us go home," Diana said to both Zhihao and Selina.
"Okay."
"En!" Zhihao and Selina nodded at the idea.

At her home after dinner, Selina decided to contact Landon to give news about the Signum Ceremony that she did this morning. Selina asked permission from Zhihao and after Zhihao gave permission, she took the metadídon from Zhihao and Diana's room. Metadídon is a one in a pair magic device that functions as a two-way communication tool and is shaped like a hand mirror with a button on the bottom of the mirror surface.
Selina pressed the metadídon button and waited for Landon to answer.
*Plip*
A voice rang out before Landon's face appeared on the mirror's surface.
"Landon!" Selina called out to Landon excitedly.
"Lina, I've been waiting for when you guys will contact me. What happened to your hair and eyes?"
"They changed color when I do my Signum Ceremony."
"Hmm... How are your Signum Ceremony results?" Landon asked Selina.
Landon's black hair which is like Zhihao's looked rather messy because he was on his back on the bed.
"I have triple affinities!"
"What? Triple affinities? With what elements?" Landon asked, he immediately woke up from his sleeping position.
Landon's face showed shock and excitement mixed into one.
"Water, Wind, and Light elements," Selina answered Landon's question with a smile.
"Wow! Congratulations, Lina. My little sister is a prodigy. "
"But Rosenfeld also has triple affinities," Selina told Landon.
"What elements does he has affinities with?"
"Fire, Earth, and Dark elements."
"... Completely the opposite of you. Oh yeah, I understand that you have affinities with Water and Wind elements because they are the elements that our parents have, but where do you get the Light element?" Landon's handsome face slightly contorted.
"I don't know either," Selina shook her head.
"Hmm... strange."
"I also think it's strange. Did I inherit it from Grandpa and Grandma?"
Landon shook his head, "No way. I once asked Mom and Mom said Grandpa and Grandma only have an affinity with the Water element."
"What about Grandpa and Grandma from Dad?"
"That's possible," said Landon, who nodded his head.
Selina and Landon talked about many things before they ended their conversation that night. After her talks with Landon, Selina made sure all the belongings that she would bring to the dorm is inside her luggage.
*Sigh*
"Finally finished arranging the items to be brought tomorrow." Selina sighed and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
In front of Selina, there was luggage filled with various items including clothes, books, her favorite fox doll, and also other kinds of stuff. Above Selina's bed was her new uniform with the Undine symbol on her left chest pocket.
"Finally I will learn some real magic this year...," Selina muttered.
Remembering what she learned in her first year at Seraphium Royal Academy makes Selina remember her situation which is always in second place. Neither in meditation to forming mana path, control of mana nor basic theory of magic. Everything of what they learned, Selina lost to Arthur.
"How can I be a top scorer and immediately admitted to Blue Lyre if I always come in second and lost to Rosenfeld? Do I have to take the Professional Exam in the end?"
*Sigh*
Selina sighed for the second time then look at her reflection in the mirror. Selina looked at her new appearance. She has triple affinities just like Arthur, though they are from a total opposite of elements.
'Even without the real practice of magic I already lost to him,' thought Selina pessimistically.
"Can I beat Rosenfeld and come out as top scorer in my year?" Selina whispered and negative thoughts haunt her again.
*Slap*
"Come on, Selina. Don't lose to that womanizer Rosenfeld. One day you can beat him and become a top scorer and even if you can't, you can still take Professional Exam to be accepted in Blue Lyre," Selina encouraged herself while slapping her cheeks hard.
After her monologue, Selina hung up her uniform and went to sleep.
