"Let the meeting commence. " Alfred Dawkins says.
CREAK
"Oop uh oh. Sorry, I am late headmaster. I had to deal with some students who got into a scuffle earlier" Aisaki Hanami The Federations lieutenant of squad 4 arrives.
"Ah yes, I am glad that you are here Ms.Hanami this information will also be precious for The Federation"
"Of course" Aisaki salutes to Alfred.
"Moving forward with this meeting. It's been brought to my attention that there is a traitor amongst us"
The group of professors talk amongst themselves.
"Do we know who the perpetrators are? Do we have evidence?" professors shout out.
"Yes, a physical and two eyewitnesses. From trustworthy sources. From here on I will be enforcing more strict restrictions on the academy."
"How were they able to get through the barrier Alfred." Professor Kayneth speaks. "Amongst all of us, you should be the top if not the top defensive mage well known for his creation of barrier and defense spells and you let it slip past you?"
Some professors agree with the other half disagreeing.
"Changing the subject what we do know it involves the Twelve Stars" Celeste speaks up.
"Then isn't not wise for them to participate in the Magus Exam let alone the Aiz Magnificent Magic Games?" Another professor adds on. "Should we even have these events at all due to the increase of activities from the Phantom Order?"
AHM
"Rest assured staff of Aurora Saint Academy The Federation is working on them as we speak. If an event like this were to happen again I will notify them to arrive on the scene." Aisaki says to the teachers.
"With that being said when I checked all professors were in their classes teaching, moreover there would be no way for the perpetrator to be within school walls" Alfred speaks. "I dont want to keep you here now. Just a heads up keep the school safe and most importantly the students safe. And if anyone dares mess with the school-
RATTLE RATTLE RATTLE
The whole room begins to shake from the pressure Alfred gives.
"Meeting over," Alfred says as he sends off the teachers.
"This is some real serious business," Taz says.
"Hmm"
"What is it, Ariana?'
"Am trying to think of the magic each teacher possesses and the probability of them being the culprit." Ariana wonders.
"Professor Randall Deximer can be removed as his magic involves touching the solid surface Headmaster would've been notified" Taz responds.
"Kazarian Kayneth" Celeste speaks.
"Wow, you're quick with it Ms.Carmen." Ariana
"Wouldn't think of him."
"What the Headmaster said is right we were all teaching but what if the person gave the information regarding the barrier before school started."
"Never thought of that," Ariana says.
"You put a lot of thought into it"
Celeste shrugs her shoulders.
"Whoever this person may be very familiar with how this school works. Let alone know about the underground passage."
"The real question is how they brought that person in," Taz asks. "Another good one is should we trust The Federation lieutenant in all of this? She stays within that room the majority of the time she's here doing who knows."
The three go silent in thought.
"Ugh it's getting my brain tangled up in endless possibilities" Ariana speaks.
"Yes it is indeed a troubling matter" Celeste speaks.
"Alright, hopefully, we can gather more information regarding this matter tomorrow," Taz says as he walks away.
"Yup see you tomorrow," Ariana says as she does a little wave goodbye.
STEP STEP
"It's been a long first day," Celeste says to herself.
--------------------------------------------------
Towards the entrance of the academy.
"Rose, are you alright?" Azalea asks.
"..."
"You sure dont look fine," Lily says.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Bella asks.
"Rose she's asking you a question," Sunneta says as she waves her hands in front of Rose.
Rose shakes her head as if she was day dreaming.
"No am not with that exemption being taken away from me," Rose says with anger in her voice.
"I let you guys down. I let myself down. How could I lose to her? Maybe I should've done this that's why should've started with this" Rose says as she puts her hands on my head as she runs through things that she could've done.
"Rose it wasn't a loss there was no definitive winner, plus you'll get a chance at the Magus Exam" Azalea says.
"Yeah, and you were pretty even when we were watching," Suneeta.
"Also you only used two of your petals, you'll be able to showcase yourselves more during the Exam" Lily says.
"Yes, at least you faired better than us" Bella pointed at herself and Lily.
"Hey, Bella dont put yourself down like that we were facing the student council members and Luna "You guys tried that's all that mattered," Suneeta says.
"We shouldn't use facing the student council as an excuse we could've done better," Rose says. As the other four look down. "I'll beat her next time"
STEP STEP STEP
"It's Albeck Reigns," Lily says.
Albeck passes by the group of pretty girls without even batting an eye.
"So mysterious," Bella says.
"And handsome," Azalea says.
"He beat the Leo star mage today" Suneeta whispers.
"Albeck" Rose speaks out.
She proceeds to walk towards him as he stops and turns in her direction.
The more and more Rose walked closer the more and more she grew smaller. "Nice to meet you am Rose Providence" Rose extends her arm for a handshake. "Nice to meet you," he says in a calm but soft voice.
.....
"Eh this is awkward isn't he going to say something to me? Like, ask me how my day is. Or the fight. Or we are no longer exempt because of it: Rose thinks in her head as she stands looking up at Albeck.
"How was your day?"
"Okay"
"Did you have a good time"
"Alright"
"Was the food good"
"Yeah"
....
"Am not getting anywhere with this conversation. Maybe I should ask him open-ended questions" Rose thinks in her head as her facial expression shows frustration.
"Uh oh, Rose is getting worked up," Azalea says. "Uh oh, crossed arms tapping foot," Suneeta says. "Her body language," Azalea says. "I wonder what she's saying?" Lily questions. "Eh wouldn't worry too much about it she'll be fine," Bella says.
"I heard you beat a Twelve Star today"
Albeck facial expression looks more intrigued.
"Yes finally got him hooked," she says to herself. "So how was-"
"I didn't beat him. He was partially hurt from his previous fight with Valerus Marina. The twelve-star mages are no joke. You fared well against Eriko but ultimately she got the win"
"Did he just say she won but I wasn't even going all out?" Rose thinks.
"If you are concerned about whether you beat a twelve-star mage or not. You look at things the wrong way," Albeck says.
"Huh," Rose says.
"See you" Albeck turns around and walks away.
STEP STEP STEP STEP
"OHH Rose what did you say??" "Give us the details" "Did you ask him out?"
Rose didn't have any words to speak as what Albeck spoke was true. "Why am I concerned about that? Why did he say it the wrong way? Ugh, this is stupid" Rose says.
"C'mon girls let's go home."

On top of the roof of one of the three buildings.
"Hmm, what an interesting day. Twelve Star Mages. Multiple Fights. And an invasion must be fun. Too bad I was completely overshadowed today. I'll make my presence felt sooner or later"
