The three youngsters settled into a routine soon enough. Jules was indeed more powerful than the appointed tutors, but he was still very well-behaved and polite. Mana proved herself to be a model student, much to the delight of her new tutors and her grandparents. Naver, on the other hand, remained quiet and unassuming, but paid full attention to whatever was being taught.
A few days later, Mana and Jules pulled Naver into a secret spot they had discovered in the garden. It was a nice, remote place where they had complete privacy.
"You're not just a water magician, are you?" Jules asked Naver. "And, from the colour of your eyes, you should be far more powerful than you're showing in class!"
Naver turned white as a sheet. "How did you know?" he asked in a trembling voice.
"Big Brother, don't scare him," Mana said calmly. She patted Naver's arm soothingly. "Look, we're just concerned about you, that's all."
