From MC's Perspective:
After carefully inspecting the contents of the storage bracelets, I decided it was time to take a break. My body felt tense from the day's events, and I needed to gather my strength for tomorrow's visit to the Special Mage Department.
The thought of what lay ahead both excited and concerned me, but for now, I wanted a moment of peace.
Swoosh!
With a simple thought, I teleported directly to the Gregor Mansion. The luxurious surroundings did little to calm my nerves, but I made my way to the large, comfortable bed and collapsed onto it.
The soft silk sheets felt like a dream after the day I'd had, but my mind still churned with unanswered questions. Tomorrow, everything will change.
Meanwhile...
Leona Perry sat with her friends, a group of aristocratic mages who, like her, came from families with a long legacy of power.
