The Aurora Saint Academy and the remaining mages from the Magus Exam plan the next move of action.
"What should we do Luna?" Issac asks.
"I say we all attend Valerus's Trial. He's going to need all the support he needs" Luna responds.
"That settles it was leaving first thing tomorrow," Issac says.
"Make sure everyone gets a good night's rest," Faith says.
"We'll meet at the Train Station first thing," Luna says.
Everyone prepares to leave one by one as Luna remains in the room by herself.
"What else can I do"

"Wow, these barriers sure are something" I tapped the barrier that separated the three of us. I watched as it moved little jelly making little waves with each touch.
"How long do you intend to keep touching those barriers?" Edward asks relaxing on his bed.
"Sorry I didnt mean to disturb your sleep"
"Well, you should get some rest too. After all, you are the main person in this trial. Being related to that masked son of a bitch"
"I am surprised myself. I didnt know he was alive let on sent here"
Edward rises up from his bed slowly. "Sent? What do you mean?"
"To tell you the truth, I am not from this world"
"What?!"
"I am from another place from another time where magic doesn't exist"
"Where magic doesn't exist? You're talking crazy everything here revolves around magic. Without magic your- Nevermind" Edward talks pauses and he sighs.
"I saw you fight the Phantom Order that was something."
"Yeah just a lot of training and practice"
"Is that your magic ability or?"
"No no magic at all. It's just that blade I wield. Without that am pretty much nothing"
"What that cant be your speed, agility, they were"
"There is nothing if I were to face a mage without that sword am worthless"
"Well you're not worthless you're in a team with three other great mages"
Edward looks in my direction. "You talk just like them. Uhh since we're here I'll give you a little bit of my backstory"
"I lived in a small village outside the region of Falos. A small one where everyone knew everyone's business. When I was younger I was a normal kid who waited for their time to take the Chalice of Paths. I had both my mom and my dad who raised me in the cold region of Falos. My dad was a hunter who hunted the cold winter beasts that lurk around the region and my mom was a stay-at-home mom. Life was all good until that day. The day I took the Chalice of Paths. There was no color in that water"
"He was the same," I thought to myself.
"Haha, I still laugh as I remember it. My mother and father told me it was alright but I knew deep down inside I was ashamed. I was the only person in all the kids around me who wouldn't invite me to go play because they could use all kinds of magic. So I would go home crying to my parents why I couldn't be like them. One day i decided to go hunting with my father. And so we ventured forth throughout the day hunting bears, wolves, deer, and other animals. As the night drew near and the day of light faded out the winds grew harsher as we struggled to find our way back to the village. I heard a roar that I had never heard before a creature or monster. I heard its giant footsteps running towards us I felt my dad push my out of the way as I watched my dad get set flying 10 feet away. It was a sneak attack I was hopeless I couldn't do anything. Until a man came. He wore a black robe that covered his face. He single-handedly defeated the monster with ease. After he defeated it he picked up my father on his shoulder and went over to me. "Why didnt you fight?" The hooded man asked me. I said I have no mana."
He laughed at me "I have met another hoho. Here I shall give you this. A blade that has special unique powers." He handed me the blade. "Then in an instant, we were brought back to the village" The last thing he spoke to me was. "Train train as hard as you can to be the best. Then he vanished without saying a word. Now I travel the world in search of him thanking him for giving me the blade.
"Wow that story was amazing"
"For how I got into the academy I got scouted. Since my father was now bedridden from that event I went out and worked as a hunter for a bit. One day as I finished my usual hunting routine. I came across another person hunting. Arrows scattered across the fields then suddenly disappearing into the wind. I asked the person how they did that. He turned out to be one of my teammates today Rowen Dupree. We bonded for our love for hunting and I told him about my family issues. He listened and agreed to help me tend for my family not only that but to join the Academy in Falos. I underwent the Magus Exam. And I was deemed Captain of the 4 of us because I beat none other than Rowen in the Magus Exam finals. We were set to come attend yours but for some reason, I was left out. I was given this transportation arrow by Rowen. He told me if anything goes wrong this will bring you towards us.
"You should most likely know the rest. Now were here. Awaiting to be put on trial. He looks at the sky from the tiny window was have. "Twilight its just about that time to get a little shut-eye.

"Blade I wish to speak with you" Phantom appears.
"Yes, what is it?" Blade' says in a calm voice.
"Ahhh it's a good thing you're always wearing your mask."
"Well you're the only one who can see me like this"
"They seem to be advancing their plans"
"They are huh? Well I dont wish to follow that plan. I'll stick to what you have to say"
"If they continue to pursue the Twelve Stars-"
"I know" Blade responds.
"This mission. Just make sure Tay and Celeste don't see your face, especially your eyes. It's a big giveaway" Phantom warns him.
"Ohh you worry too much. So what if they do? It's me. You know I wouldn't do that maybe he would.
"Your always careful."
Phantom leaves.
"He always worries to much about me. Well about us"
Blade looks into the mirror as his face shows his eyes his right eye red with his left eye being blue. As A roman two is placed inside the eye instead of normal pupils.
