"No?"
"Yeah, let's save it for this Magus Exam."
"We surely dont wanna cause a commotion like we had yesterday so please make way," Axel says.
A short pause.
"Fine, I shall meet you then. Other than that good day to you. Just letting you know that I will be the one to win" Jericho says as he waves his hands and walks off.
"Dragonclad imma look forward to meeting him in the Exam," Ezekiel says as he chuckles.
"That's the guy?" I ask the group.
"Yes, that's him" Axel once again confirms.
"The dragonclad from the Pearson family. Not only do you have him but Albeck, Rose along with her group, and Bianca are participating in the Magus Exam in a few days. " Faith adds on.
"Is it possible to give us any tips on it?" Eriko asks.
"The one thing to expect is the unexpected" Luna says.
"Like I said before The first stage tests your knowledge. How well do you know your magic? And the second stage could be any of these scavenger hunt, hide and seek, or tag. I suggest you work on conserving your mana, especially during the second stage. The first and second stages happen on the same day while the final stage happens a day after. " Faith adds.
"From our experience, myself and Ceaser here passed the 1st stage with ease but the second stage can be tricky," Issac says.
"Very tricky" Ceaser spoke.
"How so?" Eriko questions.
"It's the fact that you won't know what kind of stage it is until you arrive," Issac answers.
Issac casts his hands out and creates a diorama of the layout of the second stage.
"Interesting" Eriko says.
"The second stage is usually in a big wide area so we can roam freely. This space gives you enough time to plan out your strategies with your partner."
"So what about fighting?" Ezekiel asks.
"Stage one is a test from the second stage and on you can fully display your fighting capabilities to everyone," Faith says.
"Partner?" I ask.
"I forgot to mention before stage two begins you will be assigned a partner," Luna says.
"Are they predetermined or do you get to choose?" Eriko asks.
"At random," Ceaser spoke.
"You and your partner will then work together to defeat other teams as the final 8 teams remaining will be put in the tournament then the winner of those matchups will be the team for the Aiz Magnificant Magic Games. With the winner of the of those being the winner of the Magus Exam being granted S Ranking and Captain of the team for the Magic Games," Faith says for me I was partnered with Axel last year," Luna says.
"I was with Ceaser," Issac says.
"As for me, I was with Alekzander the winner of the Magus Exam," Faith says.
"What happened to him?" I asked.
"Currently right now he decided to go join The Federation. As may know the winners of the Magus Exam are labeled S Rank mages and the majority of them became Captain in the Federation. But with this new luitenenat role in the Federation Alekzander is currently the lieutenant of Squad 4 under his Captain Percival Caldwell the other known Dragonclad in Aiz. This is of course after our dominant performance in the Aiz Magnificent Magic Games." Axel says.
"That maybe different this year" Luna says softly.
The three of us take notice of what Luna said.
"I see," I said aloud. That is my goal right now to win the Magus Exam join the Federation and show everyone am not just some irregular with no magic. I said to myself.
"I have a question so what are the plans for the third years?" Eriko asks. " Yeah, I haven't really seen any besides our first day at the opening ceremony" I add to her question.
"Pretty much got their own thing going for them," Issac says as he points up.
There was a flight of staircases leading to another floor of the lunch area.
"That floor up there is designated for third years only no 2nd or 1st years are allowed. They're pretty lax as they dont really start drama unless something happens," he states. "Third years are free to do whatever they want once they graduate from the academy."
"Are they strong?" Ezekiel asks.
"They are pretty good in my eyes. From what we saw there are three that are distinguished from the others but that we can talk about another time. We'll see them eventually and you'll know." Issac says.
"There the former student council" Axel speaks up. "The former president, vice president, and secretary."
"We beat them last year as they were 2nd years then while their Secretary and Historian graduated and are doing who knows what," Luna says. "Surely I believe there is no grudge but to lose their place to lower classmen must've made them feel some way" Faith responds.
We carried on and enjoyed our lunch as we headed for our next class.
-----------------------------------
Celeste Carmen overlooks the students at lunch from the 3rd floor classroom building.
"Hmm"
CLICK CLACK CLICK CLACK
A sound of a cane echos throughout the hallway.
"Ms.Carmen do you have a second" a voice calls out.
"Professor Kayneth how may I help you"
"Just about the infilitration meeting we had the other day."
"Go on"
"After all these years that I have been here no one has made it through Headmasters Barrier but this year it was simply done. Yet it has started this year with the introduction of the Twelve Stars here."
"What are you suggesting professor?"
"Nothing its just a bit of information that I wanted to share with you. Good day?"
"Haa. Its almost every day that am getting interogated"
"Rough day huh?" a female voice calls out.
"Ariana" Celeste says.
"Wow not even surprised that I just snuck on you like that huh. Well anyways getting interogated too?"
Celeste remains silent.
"Dont sweat it its not just you me and Taz are also being questioned as well" Ariana states.
"Really even though you guys have been here longer?" Witha surprised voice Celeste questions.
"Yeah I guess the other professors impressions are that we are the homeroom teachers of the Twelve Stars and maybe we let the intruder in. Crazy for them too think like that huh"
"Yes very strange" with her eye aquinted with a thinking expression Celeste thinks.
"What are you looking at?" Araiana peaks over her shoulders.
"Making sure my students dont cause any trouble. As should you too."
"Oops your right. Yeah yesterday. Was exciting. Having there exceptions being revoked."
"All we can do now is wait for there Magus Exam to begin. Did you hear about the headmaster might do this year?"
"What?"
