~recap of last chapter~
"We'll go tell the Principal that team The Novas is back but are currently unconscious in the infirmary." Kiera said to the nurse and guards who nodded in response. The Senshi members then walk to the Principal's office to let him know what's going on with the Novas members. Kiera knocked on the door hearing someone say come in, opening the door the Senshi members walked in to stand in front of Principal Ace "So do you have knowledge on what's happening with the team Novas as of right now?" Ace questioned, "Well sir they are right now in the infirmary unconscious being checked upon by the nurse, and by what the nurse has said they will be like that till some time tomorrow." Sally said to Principal Ace who had a concerned look on his face now about the Novas members "Well you girls get some rest we'll question them tomorrow about what happened." he said to the girls showing them off to their rooms. when they got there they got ready for bed and slept.

The Senshi members got up early so they could go visit the Novas members to see if they would be awake so that they could ask about what happened to them and to their luck the second they got to the infirmary the girls were awake and being checked on by the nurse. "So ladies how are you feeling aside from passing out in our arms yesterday." Deanna said teasingly to the Novas members. "Well, we all got our butts kicked by a bunch of people we thought didn't know how to use their gifts correctly but that was a lie." Lucy deadpanned out looking at Denna who looked shocked. "Wait you mean to tell me that the amount of time that they've been gone they know how to use their gifts?!" Sharon questioned shocked at this new information that's when it hit Kiera. "Wait what if they always could use their gifts really well but kept it a secret because we were near them at the time and they didn't want to give it away." Kiera said now thinking back on the time with Morgan and her group of friends and realizing that they had been played. "If that's the case then we need to tell Principal Ace immediately!" Nicole said moving to the door to go to the Principal office "Not right now Nicole let's hear the full story of what happened to them so that we have a full idea of what to expect because I'm going to ask if we can go after them next and we need to be fully prepared for the worse and get an idea on what their gifts fully are." Kiera said to her members who nodded their heads. That's when all the Novas members take turns telling the Senshi members what exactly happened to them when it got to Julia they glomped the heck out of her and then started to ask if she was alright and if she hurting anywhere which she said that she's alright just might have some nightmares about almost dying. "So the blonde-haired girl could be a shapeshifter and is a quick thinker, was quick to dodge your attack, and she taunted you till you gave in to your anger which caused you to lose control of your shapeshifter form to the beast." Kiera said pointing out what Lucy told her "Yep that seems about right." Lucy said feeling embarrassed about how fast she lost control of her anger. "The black-haired girl might be a gray sorceress and from what you told us about that vortex spell she has to have a lot of mana to even use that twice and to heal you right after getting hit full force. The tall black-haired male summoned random items well his gift is a little harder to guess it could be storage, imagination, a portal opener, or a couple more. I am so glad your not dead Julia or any of you girls, or I would have hunted them down and killed them with my hands." Savanna said with a psychotic look on her face at the last sentence "Okay slow your roll Savanna and please get rid of that look you're scaring the kids and me." Katarina said with a scared look on her face causing Savanna to get rid of it "sorry for scaring you girls." Savanna said apologizing to them "Whoa momma bear mode activated." Anna said causing everyone to laugh and lighting up the mood. "Okay, so you said that the tall blonde male, or as Samantha liked to say a polar bear has super strength like Sally and that the skinny black-haired male stopped you in your track. He could have a telekinesis gift but then that doesn't make sense why he wouldn't help the tall blonde in the fight unless he and the polar bear fight a lot which could help you next time with them." Miya said to them then added, "If you want to know their names ask us we know their names, and Morgan the short blond hair that fought Lucy just gonna tell you now don't ever make her angry." causing the rest of the Senshi members to nod in agreement causing scared looks to come upon the Novas members just imagining it.
"Continuing on with looking at the information you told us about every person/s you fought the next one to look at is Judy's. The brow-haired crewcut male summoned some guns and your guessing he can make his own bullets as well since he shot you with some sleeping dart thing. I wonder if he can summon rocket launchers as well also nice job popping his shoulder out that probably slowed him down a good bit." Willow said praising Judy for her quick thinking with the shoulder bit causing her to blush a little. "That's a really scary thought that crewcut could be able to summon rocket launchers, thank god I didn't fight him." Samantha said in a teasing tone causing her to get playfully glared at by Judy. "Anna you said he hit you in the stomach with Hinote (Fire hand) then had a trap planned for you with an earth spell which you almost drowned in if he hadn't made a rock slab and then he brought you up in some dirt prison so he may be a fire and earth, elemental wizard, with not as much mana as the other girl." Sharon said guessing what he could be "Yeah that sounds about right." Anna said shrugging.
~A little bit before all the talk in the infirmary is over~
Evans Pov
I got up and got dressed in the school uniform to go to my gift training class, which is so boring since all we do is go over what our gift could do if we didn't control it and they don't even let us train it yet to start to get a grip on it. I went to open up the door and Devany stood in front of it "Hey so do you want to skip our gift classes since we already understand a good bit of what our gifts do since we have our books." Devany said to me which caused me to nod my head so fast that it felt like it would snap. "Okay then let's walk around the school so the teachers can't find us and explore the school." Devany said grabbing my arm and dragging me behind her. When we finally stopped we stopped in front of the infirmary and when we went to walk past I heard Morgan's name being said causing me to stop "Devany come here they are talking about Morgan and the others." I whispered to Devany who followed my movement to get closer to the door that's when we hear what they were talking about a little bit better "We need to tell Morgan and the others the second we have the chance." Devany whispered to me "Agreed let's go to my room and I'll call them." I said and right when we turned around we saw a lady that had long black hair, looked about 5 ft 5 inches tall and had golden-colored eyes with a scary look on her face.
"What are you two doing out of your gift training classes?" she questioned causing Devany and me to look at each other "Run!!" I yelled starting to run with Devany, but the second we ran away, the lady suddenly appeared in front of us. "Miss Veslen what's going on? Also, why are there these kids not in class?... Wait, Evan, Devany what are you doing out of your gift training classes?" Kiera said walking out of the infirmary to see what was happening in the hallway. Miss Veslen grabbed both Devany and me by our uniforms "They seem to be skipping their gift training classes, Kiera. So what are your gift classes? Also, you two are having detention as well today." Miss Veslen questioned Devany and I "Well, since they got caught I'll tell you their gift are, hers is flying and his is explosions." Miya said answering the question since she came out of the infirmary to see what was happening as well. "Well let's get you two to your classes goodbye ladies." Miss Veslen said before taking Devany and I to our classes "How did we get here so quickly?" Devany asked sounding confused since we are now standing in front of my classroom "I'm the teacher that teaches people that have the gift of teleporting until they have enough control of their gift." Miss Veslen explained then she let go of our uniforms and knocked on the door. "Yes is there a problem Miss Veslen?" my teacher said opening the door and not seeing Devany and me, my teacher was male, about 5 ft 6 inches tall, has short brown hair swept over on one side a beard and green eyes.
"Yes, I caught your new student skipping with his friend." Miss Veslen said pointing at Devany and me "Hi." I said feeling embarrassed that I got caught "Well Evan it seems that you and your friend here failed in skipping, and I'm guessing you don't remember my name I am Brad Stormblossom but you call me Mr. Stormblossom." he said bringing shock to me 'That's Bella's and Devany's last name how does he have it?' I almost missed what Devany said "How do you have my sister and I's last name?" sounding stunned that my teacher who taught my gift class had the same last name. "Wait, your sister and you have Stormblossom as your last name?" he said sounding just as stunned as Devany and I felt "Yeah but I'm her sister in all but blood so she told me to take her last name." Devany explained to Mr. Stormblossom who nodded his head "Do you know what her parents' names are?" He questioned causing Devany and me to share a look. Thinking quickly I say "None of us know who our parents are we were all in an orphanage so even if we were related we would never know." "Well, I'm sorry that, that happened to you guys and your siblings but when they get here I can get a test done to see who you guys are related to." Mr. Stormblossom said. "*Cough* *Cough* while this is nice and all I would like to get this girl to her class as well these two have detention so you will have time to question them some more when you watch detention today Mr. Strormblossom." Miss Veslen said cutting off any more conversation that could have happened. "That is correct we will talk more in detention you two." he said ushering me into class and Devany disappeared with miss Veslen. Mr. Stormblossom told me to go sit down next to a girl called Cherry who raised her hand. She had long white hair up in a ponytail with a rose bow, and golden eyes, and since she was sitting down I couldn't tell how tall she was.
"Hi my name is Evan." raising my hand out for her to shake but all she did was look at it and then look away "Why would you want to be friends with that weirdo when you can be mine." an arrogant voice came from behind me and Cherry who was looking down seeing that I felt a need to say something so I retorted "Why would I want to be friends with a neanderthal beta." while looking at the person that said that "Why you!" He said loudly catching the attention of Mr. Stormblossom. "What's going on here and which one of you would like to explain? " Mr. Stormblossom asks while walking over to our desks "Nothing Mr. Stormblossom just a little disagreement." I told him "Well Evan, James let's not cause a disruption again in this class ." he told James and me before going back to the front of the class to explain what we were doing today. "Hey don't worry about what that idiot said behind us." I whispered to Cherry who looked at me in shock that I was still talking to her. "Why are you even bothering to talk to me?" she whispered harshly back "Because...because you seem like someone that has held the weight of being alone for a long time and I would like to offer my hand in friendship to ease that loneliness. As my sister says the eyes are the window to the soul." I whispered looking at her and watching her expression change from shock to almost in tears with a hopeful expression. "Thank you so much...you don't how much this means to me." she whispered causing me to smile at her and whisper "Well you are going to have my other friend Devany and my team as your new friends I can promise that." which caused her to send me a beaming smile which took my breath away, blushing I whispered to her that we should pay attention to class causing her to nod in agreement.
~At Knightspire, the Horse Shoe Tavern~
Morgan's Pov
The sun was shining through the window curtains with a soft breeze coming from the opened window. It was very peaceful until a knock from the door woke up the people sleeping in the room "*Yawn* who is knocking on the door?" I asked Bella while rubbing my eyes "A dumb bitch that should know better than to wake me up." she answered back still laying down in her cocoon of blankets. I got out of bed almost falling on the floor from the blanket wrapped around my ankle "Nice job there Morgan." Bella said causing me to give the finger. I finally reached the door opening it I saw that it was Caleb, I leaned back from the door saying "Hey Bella your victim is Caleb." while watching Caleb's expression change to dread. "Ah fresh blood, I don't think Caleb has ever woken me up." Bella said then I heard Caleb mumble "So this is why those backstabbers sent me to get them up." which caused me to start laughing causing the two to look at me like I was crazy. "Sorry, it was just what Caleb had said about the other boys sending him here to wake us up so I guess your true victims are the boys, not Caleb." I said watching her face change into a bloodthirsty smile. I then remembered that I want to ask Bella to heal Caleb's shoulder "Hey Bella if you have enough mana now, could you heal Caleb's shoulder for him?" I asked her "Sure tell him to come in." I then turned back to the door "You heard her come in." I told him. He walked in and sat on Bella's bed waiting for her to do her magic "I just thought of this what are we going to tell them when they see that Caleb's shoulder is fully healed?" she questioned. "Well, we could have him just act like it still needs to heal so no moving it around while around others that we don't trust even if you trust them." I said pointedly at Caleb "You got a deal and if I do trust the person I should ask for a team meeting to discuss if all of us trust this person for me to tell the truth." Caleb said making a promise. "Okay stay still Caleb so that I can heal you." Bella said focusing on his shoulder with a white light glowing in the palms of her hands before saying "Gochida (note: Korean means heal)." the white light of her palms spreading out of her hands turned into a see-through orb spreading around his shoulder healing any problems that had occurred. After she did that we all walked out of Bella's and I's room to meet with the rest of the guys so that we could get some breakfast before the person getting them took them to Bosworth. We all went down the stairs to grab food.
We found a table in the corner to sit at waiting for a server to come to us. "Hey everyone I have something to say." I said catching the attention of my friends at the table. When I noticed that I had their attention I said: "Okay Bella and I need for you guys to meet in our room tonight for a team meeting okay no if's or but's about it this is a very important discussion." while giving them a look daring them to disagree. "Yeah we can do that but can we have a shower when we get back from Bosworth as well as eat." the guys said agreeing with what was said. "Oh and boys Bella has a bone to pick with you and Caleb has a free ticket from that considering that you forced Caleb to wake Bella up." I said watching Bella start to smirk while the boys aside from Caleb started to turn pale and before anything else could be said a waiter came to the table asking us what we would like to have. "Well we just came into town would you like to tell us what is on the menu here?" Bella asked the waiter "Well for our breakfast menu: we have Pancakes, Grits, Crepes, waffles, and Hashbrowns. An for drinks: we have Strawberry milk/Milk/Chocolate milk, Water, Coffee, and Hot chocolate." the waiter told us what they have for breakfast along with the drinks so we started to order. "I'll have a waffle with hashbrowns and with a coffee as my drink." Bella told the waiter who wrote down her order before looking at Chandler for his order "I'll have pancakes with a coffee that's all." is all he said then the waiter looked at Caleb "I'll have crepes and grits with a coffee." then the waiter looked at Octavian "I'll have Pancakes and hashbrowns with a coffee." then the waiter looked at Troy "I'll have the same as he will." Troy said pointing at Octavian the waiter wrote down what was asked so far. The waiter then looked at Jacob "I'll have the Waffle and crepes with milk." writing that down the waiter turned to me "I'll have the crepes and hashbrowns with hot chocolate." with that written down the waiter excused himself before walking towards what I assume is the kitchen. While waiting for the food and our drinks most of us at the table started to make small talk but I was looking around the tavern noticing that people came in and out of the tavern so I then started to watch the door when I saw Esmerelda walk in the tavern looking around as if to find someone when she saw me looking at her, she started to walk in the direction of my table. "Hello, ladies... boys." she said while sitting down "What are you doing here?" Caleb questioned, "Well I work under Vernon I'm the one taking you to Bosworth and he told me to tell Caleb and Morgan that you are watching today and the rest of you guys and gal are doing light exercise." Esmerelda explained to us which sent off alarms in my head. 'Wait if we met her first and then literally ran into Vernon right after at the market then does that mean it could have been a setup because she would have had enough time to tell him where we're going? That would mean that Vernon should really not be trusted but what about Esmerelda?' I thought in my head turning to look at Bella and seeing that she was staring at me with the same questions stirring up behind her eyes. Before anything else could be said the waiter came with our food and drinks when I noticed that Esmerelda was staring at our food while holding her stomach. I then decided something in that split second pushing my food over to her saying only two things "Eat it." I watched Esmerelda open her mouth to argue with me "I-I can't accept this you probably haven't eaten anything since you've gotten into town." I just gave her a look and said "You darling look like you haven't eaten anything in a couple of days with how you're holding your stomach." which caused her to just accept defeat at that point and started to eat while I drank my hot chocolate. We then all finished and I grabbed the money out of the satchel putting the money on the table before we all followed Esmerelda out of the tavern to a carriage. The upper part carriage was mostly black with some gold designs on some of the outer structures, and the bottom structures were mainly a golden color with black metal on some of its structures, They had some crest on the door that had a cracked shield with some type of crown with a flower under it, two swords with one broken a little bit, the interior was mainly black with some golden designs, and leather seats.
"Everyone get in." she told us which caused the boys to climb in the carriage without being gentlemen then Bella and I looked at each other rolling our eyes before holding our hands out right next to the door and telling Esmerelda in unison "Lady's first no if's or but's about it m'lady." seeing that she was about to argue with us I gave her a look that was saying just accept it which she did hesitantly letting us help her into the carriage then Bella and then I got into the carriage. We all sat in peaceful silence as the carriage started moving and I was looking out the window watching the scenery pass by us. "Okay I can't stand the silence any longer can we talk or play a game, please?" Caleb said not wanting to sit in silence "*Sigh* Okay how about rock, paper, scissors, or eye spy as the game." Bella told Caleb who immediately looked at the boy's seeing that looked excited to do something other than sitting in boring silence "Rock Paper scissors anyone." Caleb said getting half the people to play aside from Esmerelda and me. I continued to look out the window ignoring the game that was going on but I kept on feeling someone staring at me so I turned around and saw that it was Esmerelda "Do I have something on my face?" I question starting to touch my face "N-no I'll tell you and Bella when we get back from Bosworth." she whispered hesitantly to me like she wanted to say it outright but decided it was best to hold back on it for now. 'Okay that was weird but maybe there is hope that she can be trusted and she could give us info about Vernon that will make Bella and me not like him more than we already do.' I thought while nodding my head at her in understanding I watched her body sag in relief that I wasn't going to argue with her. I laid my head down against the window shutting my eyes to take a nap.

Morgan's Pov
I started to wake up hearing people laughing "Aw that's cute who knew that Morgan would move in her sleep cuddling you Esmerelda." a voice said that sounded like Jacob causing me to raise a middle finger to him "Just let me sleep in peace." I said in my morning voice moving closer to my pillow until I felt my pillow chuckling. It caused me to shoot away from my pillow opening my eyes and looking around until I remember that Jacob just said that Esmerelda was the one I was using as a pillow. Blushing in embarrassment I stutter out "S-sorry I should have stayed awake so that didn't happen." while trying to get out of the Carriage almost tripping when I got out of it "*Giggling* It's fine I thought it was cute whoever dates you will be very lucky." Esmerelda said coming out of the carriage making me think she is some wholesome cinnamon bun at that moment "Or I could be your girlfriend right now?" she flirted to me 'And never mind she's back with the flirting.' I thought blushing trying not to cringe at being flirted at. "Hey flirty, Morgan let's get going some of us would like to see this castle that is apparently Bosworth some more." Bella said stopping Esmerelda from saying anything else. Esmerelda got to the front "Follow me I'll show you how to get to the training grounds because Vernon told me that since there are squires inside studying, he doesn't want them to be distracted." she said starting to walk away without looking behind to see if we are following causing us to rush after her. I started to look around the outside of Bosworth it was a yellow color with black on its top structures and some of the walkways were cracked and damaged as if a battle had happened here long ago.
"So quick history on this place, this was a kingdom long ago that had a corrupt king and queen that was taxing heavily on the city which caused the people to starve and die one by one. One knight not being able to bare the people suffering anymore planned a coup d'état (the definition: a sudden and decisive action in politics, especially one resulting in a change of government illegally or by force.) with some knights that agreed with him and the people of Knightspire. They then all started a plan where the knights would secretly let the townspeople in when they had the night shift, then they would proceed to kill the queen and king along with their loyal knights. Before long they would open a school where the old castle was at, the head knight of the revolt would become the headmaster here and basically is the new king here." Esmerelda said causing me to ask a question that's been bugging me "So I have two questions 1. is Vernon the headmaster here or not because when we first met that is what he said to all of us? and question 2. is he the commanding officer of the knights?" when I asked that I noticed she quickly stopped turning to look at us tilting her head in confusion "the answer to question one. is no he's not the headmaster of this place the Knight that did the coup d'état is. Who is down at Knightspire today to check up on the people of his kingdom since whoever is the headmaster is the ruler of Knightspire. To answer question two. yes, he is the commanding officer of the knights." she explained to us which just built more dislike towards Vernon for me and possibly Bella about him lying about being the headmaster. "Maybe he had a reason for that, Vernon was pretty interested in Morgan he could have done that to look cool." Troy said smirking at me causing me to give him a look of disgust "I am very strongly not interested in the slightest." I said feeling repulsed by the idea of Vernon and me ever being together. "Okay before we get to the training grounds does anyone else have questions, on a side note good for you not being interested since almost all the ladies here in Knightspire want to be with him aside from me because you know I am a lesbian." Esmerelda asked and saluted me for not being into Vernon. I noticed when she saluted me she looked visibly relieved that I wasn't interested in Him which made me even more suspicious about him. "Oh, what's the name of the headmaster?" Bella asked making me put my thoughts on the back burner for now so I could focus. "The headmaster's name is Ericson he's really kind and he is married to his husband Alexander that was one of the knights that helped with the coup d'état." she answered before asking if there were any more questions when nobody answered she turned around walking once more towards our destination with us closely following her.
We then finally reached the training area and we see a bunch of male and female Knights training with Vernon right in the center demonstrating what looks to be sword movements "Hey Vernon I brought Morgan and her friends here like you said too!" Esmerelda yelled out to him when we got close enough "Okay break for 5 minutes then we continue training!" Vernon yelled out then proceeded to walk toward my friends and me. "Hello gorgeous and her good-looking friends so Morgan and Caleb will be on the sidelines since their injuries have not healed yet." Vernon said flirting in the beginning but toward the end, a serious tone took over his voice. Vernon led us to an area a little away from the training area and told Caleb and me to sit down and watch what was going to go on in training "Okay so the rest of you follow and listen to what I say carefully because if you don't you could end up very injured if you do something stupid." Vernon said looking at all of us that could train. "So we're going to start off slowly and build you up to harder training...So any questions?" Vernon asked everyone "Umm...What is the first thing we're doing?" Troy asked him "The first thing we're going to do is stretch then run a couple of laps then do pushups, squats, a break, then we get the wooden swords out for you to strike with then gradually up the amount of everything until you can do a 100 of them each." Vernon said answering Troy's question. 'Dear lord he's trying to fucking kill us who wants to even succeed in being able to a 100 of everything or above that.' I thought greatly happy that Caleb and I don't have to do that yet since we have to 'heal'. "No more questions good let's start with stretching then we can do the laps not counting Caleb and Morgan." Vernon said putting almost everyone in motion since Caleb and I couldn't join yet.
~Time Skip brought to you by Octavian being forced to run the laps after being told that if he didn't he would have to do more than everyone else~
"*Huff* *Huff*Arg...I'm dying help just end my suffering" Octavian said laying on the ground starfished with the wooden sword next to him, I walk over to him leaning over him and I say "You know that you laying there is going to put a strain on your heart right?" putting my hand for him to grab which he does "*Huff* *Huff* Good then it can end this my damn suffering." Octavian said back to me which made me chuckle "Suck it up buttercup just think you learning how to use a sword and being a total badass." I say trying to keep him going "Yeah yeah whatever you say, captain." Octavian said sarcastically which I lightly shoved him for. "Okay we're done for today we'll meet up again tomorrow at the same time and Sunday is your break from training with me." Vernon said to my friends that trained that day with him, I watched as everyone's faces changed into different expressions of what they were feeling at that moment. "ESMERELDA!! show them the way back out!!" Vernon shouted out into the open waiting for Esmerelda to appear for us then Vernon walked over to where Caleb and I were standing. "Well, this is goodbye for now my pretty lady until next time." He said reaching for my hand and landing a kiss on it before turning around and walking back to where the other knights were, when he turned around I wiped my hand on my pants with a disgusted look on my face causing Caleb to say "God that man really needs to get the hint that your not the least bit interested in him." which caused me to snort "Yeah he does at this point I'm concerned that he's doing it to just get a quick fix then leave but that's not gonna happen since I don't like his personality at all." I said to Caleb who looks at me understanding that for me I really look for the personality of the person before anything else. I then saw Esmerelda make her way to us, I start to make my way over to the others with Caleb following closely behind me. "Okay let's get a move on because I have a feeling that everyone is very hungry." She said moving her arm and telling us to follow, which we did I noticed that Bella was keeping a sharp eye on which way we took to leave the training area. Reaching the tavern after being at Bosworth for most of the day the boys immediately get out of the carriage running into the tavern for food but Bella, and I took their sweet time, before Bella and I could walk towards the tavern they were stopped by Esmerelda. "Wait I told Morgan that I would tell you guys something important." she said which caused Bella and me to look at her waiting for her to continue "Whatever you do, don't trust Vernon. He is a vile human being that will do anything to put his plains in motion." she said causing Morgan and Bella to look at each other before saying in unison "We know we haven't trusted him in the beginning and won't start trusting him anytime soon."
