-------------------------------------------------------------------

Tired as I was on this eventful first day we finally reached our home.

"We're home," my self Eriko and I both said as we entered the doors.

STEP STEP 

"Welcome home you two. Home a little early ain't cha" Lila is the first to greet us walking towards us and welcoming us back home. "How was it?" Lila asks. 

"Very eventful is a good way to put it. Last period got cancelled due to an emergency facility meeting " my response to Lila as I give a chuckle and nervous expression.

"It was really fun," Eriko says as we both hurry away as we make way for our rooms.

"Hold on you two" Lila says.

We both stop in our tracks.

She slowly walks closer to us grabs both of our cheeks and examines our faces thoroughly.

"Hmm"

"Uh, Mom?" "Lady Lila is something wrong?"

She releases her grip.

"Hmm"

A brief pause.

"Did something happen today?"

Me and Eriko both share a shocked expression on our faces.

"W-what f-fighting on the first day of school that's absurd. We would never do such a thing right Eriko" I say aloud as I shrug Eriko. "W-wha I mean of course Lady Lila me and Valerus had a great first day of school. Made a couple of friends. No fights involved yup yup" Eriko shakes her head up and down and assures her that nothing happened.

"Did I say anything about fighting"

We both drop our jaws.

"We blew it" as we both put our hands on our heads.

"Remember you two are not only just a water mage but a very skilled healing mage as well. Looking at you two up close I could feel another mage's traces of mana. It looks to be healing magic used on you two."

"She can do that? So can other mages trace another magic power as well " I wondered to myself. 

"Vincent and Elise would you kindly come to the front please," Lila calls out to them. 

Vincent and Elise both arrive.

"Yes Lady Lila" both respond. 

"Oh Sir Valerus and Eriko your home," Elise says. 

"Your home a little early" Vincent asks. "Did you enjoy your first day?"

We both nod.

"I called you both out here 'cause I noticed something about them Now you two would you kindly explain what happened today?" Lila says as she smiles and tilts her head with her eyes clothes.

"Uhh ha ha" myself and Eriko both chuckle and sigh.

For the next half an hour myself and Eriko with in-depth about what transpired today. Talking about the opening ceremony and Issac's Illusion Magic. Fighting and becoming friends with Ezekiel. Befreidned and meeting the student council. Meeting the other exempt students. Eriko fighting one of them. Erikos revoked the exemption from the Magus Exam. And lastly the Phantom Orders make their move.

"So they're back on the move again," Lila says.

"Those fiends I will never forgive them for what they've done," Vincent says as he grips his fist.

"Vincent" Elise says as she calms him down by his side.

"As long as you are both okay," Lilas says.

"B-but what about my exemption"

Vincent and Elise walk over to Eriko and hug her.

"We believe in you Eriko. It doesn't matter if the exemption was taken away we know that you will go beyond that and show out in the Magus Exam" 

The Agnello family share a moment.

STEP STEP

"Come here Valerus"

Lila hugs me.

"You did great it sounded like you had a lot of fun today. Just letting you know am always proud of you for whatever you accomplish. Your father is as well."

We all head-on with our day and Eriko both rest for a while then dinner arrives. As is well as we what for what happens next tomorrow. With the Magus Exam in a couple of days, we must wait for what happens next. 

"What does happen next?" as I dose off into my slumber. 

---------------------------------

Back within the Capitol City of Oriana Ezekiel and Bianca walk home.

Along a path. 

"So what's your magic, heard you pretty strong. " Ezekiel says walking with his hands behind his back.

"Uh nothing amazing just earth magic"

"Oh, cmon dont be like that having the title "Earth Saint" You gotta be something aha hah," Ezekiel says. 

S T E P

The two simutasusily look back.

"Strange I thought I heard another footstep," Ezekiel thought to himself.

"There was a third set of footsteps that I felt from the vibration from the ground. There's no chance that it suddenly vanished."

The two then look at each other.

Squeaks

A mouse runs across the street.

"Just a mouse," Ezekiel says. 

"Must be my imagination," Bianca questions herself. 

They both continue to move forward and head home.

----------------------------------------

Later on in Farz the eastern section of Aiz, a busy tavern closes up.

A crowd in attendance goes crazy over and popular singer. Likes moths to a flame they all gradually love her and follow her. A beautiful girl with a nightgown sings her heart away. 

"Thank you everyone thank you very much for attending tonight's show I hope to see you all again" as she smiled and thanked her audience. 

"Magnificent" "A beautiful melody" as the crowd shouts. Others were filled with tears. 

The crowd of both men and women follow her around.

𝅘𝅥𝅮You can stop following now𝅘𝅥𝅮 𝅘𝅥𝅮You may now leave. When getting out of this you won't remember what happened here today. Nor will you remember the money you've spent𝅘𝅥𝅮

"Yes," the crowd says simultaneously.

𝅘𝅥𝅮la da da𝅘𝅥𝅮

The crowd then stops acting like that just get snapped out of some sorta of trance and leave the tavern. 

The girl exits the stage to the right as her smile fades.

"Ms Le Flore?" the owner of the tavern calls out to the girl as she quickly passes by heading back to her dressing room.

She stops 

𝅘𝅥𝅮You will forget this night has happened𝅘𝅥𝅮

𝅘𝅥𝅮la da da𝅘𝅥𝅮

OPEN

SHUT 

The door of the dressing room opens and closes shut. 

"Ugh, that was a breath of fresh air It was way better being in the meeting with a bunch of downers. Phew another great performance for me. And more Quill for me aha"

♩♩ Mhmm♩♩ 

MMMM

♩♩mHMM♩♩

The girl hums as she creates a melody.

She changes back into normal clothes as a white mask is resting on her desk. 

SQUEAK SQUEAK

"Oh, you've returned" the girl speaks.

SHIFT

"I almost got caught" The mouse transforms into a young man with white messy hair.

"Well, almost good job. Your work is done for today. Now am wondering what "he" will do about this.

"Doesnt he tend to do things meticulously Master Le Flore" 

"He surely does but I dont wanna ruin his plans so I'll just be the supporting cast in the background."

The girl gives a menacing grin.
