"This will be your dorms," Professor Magnus said to the 12–13-year-old mages while pointing at two massive three-story white buildings with a sign in the door saying 'First Year'. The admitted young mages are comprised of six boys and four girls. "The left building will be for the boys, while the right is for the girls; neither is allowed in the other's respective buildings." Professor Magnus explained, smiling happily at the young mages. "That's it for now; see you tomorrow!" Professor Magnus said, walking while waving.
"I'll go ahead first; you should too." A girl with fiery red hair that cascades down her back like flames and eyes of brilliant shades of gold said to a boy.
"Before that, shouldn't we introduce ourselves first?" The boy, with sun-kissed golden hair and eyes that are a warm amber hue, said hesitantly while looking at the other young mages.
"Uhum! Well said!" A girl with flowing hair the color of a summer sunset interrupted. "I'm Aurora, from the Sky Kingdom! You can call me Aura; this is my friend Orion," Aurora said while pointing at a boy with tousled silver hair and sky-blue eyes that seem to reflect the vast expanse above.
"Hi, nice to meet you," the boy, Orion, said while waving lightheartedly.
"Umm, I.. I'm Rio..." The boy with sun-kissed golden hair and amber eyes said timidly.
"Hahh, You can call me Ria, I'm his twin." The girl with fiery red hair sighed then said, while pointing at Rio.
"Hmmph." A very audible snort sounded while a young man with midnight-blue hair and sea-green eyes passed.
"Sorry about him, he's just like that." A girl with pale blue hair and deep, icy blue eyes said, she is very short compared to others in her age. "I'm Glacier, but you can call me Glaze, that one is Caspian, but he hates being called that, so I always call him Pianpian, though he also hates it, hehe." Glaze said while cutely laughing.
Another girl with long, light-green hair that cascades down her back like a waterfall passes without saying another word.
The remaining three boys also passed without saying anything to the talking mages.
"Well, they're friendly, hehe." Orion said, laughing lightheartedly. "I'll go ahead, Nice meeting you all." Orion said while walking, leaving them behind. "Byebye, Aurora." He said while waving.
"You should follow him." Ria said while signaling Rio.
"Oh, okay..." Rio said while quickly following Orion.
"Hey..." Rio said while standing beside Orion.
"So... you're twins, huh?" Aura questioned, while they're headed towards their dorm. "You're very different." Aura continued.
"Circumstances." Ria simply replied.

Next Day:
"Hey, Rio." Orion greeted while sitting down.
"Morning..." Rio greeted back.
"Oh, sweet, who cooked?" Orion asked, referring to the food on the table.
"I... I don't know, it was already there when I got here." Rio replied, while eyeing some of the food.
"When did you arrive?" Orion said while beginning to eat.
"Is it okay to eat that?" Rio hesitantly asked.
"Of course, the school might be the one who put this in here,." Orion said while handling Rio a plate. Rio accepted, then scooped some food for himself, albeit very little, and primary mashed potatoes.
While talking, one boy with tousled brown hair and piercing green eyes came.
"Hey." Orion greeted, while Rio simply watched them while eating.
"Hey." the boy said while getting a plate. "This is free, right?" He asked while putting food on his plate.
"Yeah, of course." Orion slyly smiled. "Orion, by the way." He continued.
"Gareth." The boy said, now eating while looking at Orion and then at Rio.
"Ahh... R... Rio..." Rio said.
"YAHHHH! Who said you can eat my food!!!" A boy with midnight-blue hair and sea-green eyes scrambling ran towards the trio.
"Ehh? It's Pianpian." Orion said laughingly. "This is yours? Hehe." Orion said, while pointing at the foods.
"Whaa? Pianpian? Who tol-? It's Glaze! How dare her!" Pianpian said angrily, when he noticed that Orion and Gareth continued eating. "That's mine! I'm the one who cooked that! How dare you try to eat what's mine!" Pianpian said.
"You can't finish this." Gareth said while putting another round of food on his plate.
"How would you know that?!" Pianpian shouted, spurting a red face out of anger. "You!" he shouted again when Orion spooned some food again.
"Ahh, I... I'm just going to cook another one..." Rio timidly approached and said. "Can I ask where's the kitchen?" Rio asked, trying to calm him down. "We're sorry, we didn't know that it's yours."
When Pianpian saw one of the culprits approaching him, he wanted to knock him out for being an accomplice, He had already raised his arms when he saw those warm amber eyes, Pianpian then suddenly remembered a certain memory.
Flashback:
Ocean Kingdom Capital, Atlantis (Underwater):
"Ahhh, wait for me, noodle!" A little Pianpian shouted while swimming around with his sealion pet.
"Rroooarrr! rrooooaaarrr! (Catch me, Pian!)" The little sealion shouted in his own language.
Pianpian, seemingly understanding the language, swam faster until he caught the sealion.
"Your eyes really are unique, noodle. Father said it's the color amber, the color of honey! That delicious fluid we ate at the land! Hehe." The little Pianpian laughed happily while swimming around with his sealion.
"Rrooooarrr! (I remember that!)" The little sealion replied, swimming around.
"Hehe..."
"rroooarrr!(Haha...)"
Flashback Ends:
"Noodles..." Pianpian said weakly while looking straight into Rio's eyes, with his arms still raised.
"Yahhh! How dare you hurt Rio!" Orion said angrily, then suddenly appeared beside them, holding Pianpian's arm.
'Teleportation? 'Pianpian wondered inwardly, then suddenly reacted. "Scram!" Pianpian shouted in C2, producing a kind of sonic wave that threw off Orion.
"You!" Orion shouted after landing on his buttocks. Orion suddenly lifted his arms, with it appeared a white solid sphere, Orion then suddenly threw it towards Pianpian, only for an Earth Wall to appear before it hit Pianpian.
"That's enough. We're just going to cook another one, okay?" Gareth said now, walking towards them, not wanting to escalate the matter.
"Don't interrupt!" Orion shouted, then snapped his fingers, making the white solid sphere that is stuck on the Earth Wall explode.
Pianpian suddenly sang a song in E4, making a barrier that stopped the part of the Earth Wall that was flying towards him and Rio. "You're the one who's hurting him!" Pianpian shouted in C5, making a sonic wave attack. In response to that, Orion made a solid white-silver square in front of him, shielding him from the sonic attack.
"Enough!" Rio shouted, shockingly. When the three turned their attention to him, he suddenly returned to his ordinary, timid self. "I'm just going to cook, Sorry for stealing your food." Rio said weakly.
"Tskk, nevermind that! Just eat!" Pianpian said while pulling Rio with him towards the table.
"Ehh?" Rio confusedly said.
Orion just shook his head while sitting back and eating. Gareth is also confused just continue to eat.
"What do you want to eat?" Pianpian asked while showing the food he cooked.
"Ehh? Mashed potato..." Rio said very timidly.
"Then you should eat it. Yahh! Don't touch the mashed potato!" Pianpian suddenly shouted when Orion scooped some potatoes.
"Stingy." Orion just said, while Gareth just looked at them.
"Here, eat it all, noodles." Pianpian smiled happily at Rio.
"Noo... Noodles?" Rio asked, confused, Pianpian just smiled at him happily.
