A few days later, the entire campus of IMARI was abuzz with the news of a new beauty appearing in the institute.
"Heavens! She's so beautiful! Is she a student?"
"She must be – they won't allow in anyone who didn't qualify for the entrance test no matter how good-looking they are…"
"A beauty with brains…or a brainiac with beauty…either way, I'm so envious!"
"She must be from the Sapphire Kingdom, right? With that hair and eyes…?"
"I wonder if Professor Bella knows her…?"
"Maybe she's a princess or a noble lady? Look at how graceful she is!"
The clamour was endless.
The mysterious beauty walked to Headmistress Ana's office under the curious eyes of everyone. Headmistress Ana, who was chatting leisurely with Jules, Raven and Mana, froze when the beauty entered her office and closed the door behind her.
"Bella?!" she cried incredulously. "Is that really you?"
