An Incompetent Magician? Like, I will let that happen!

Chapter 2 Part 1 (Updated)

Those who can and who cannot

It's been two weeks since the incident happened back at the campus of Tempest. Shinra regained most of his strength. However, he hasn't spoken much towards his actions that time and Sheila-san was also busy for her last two terms here in Tempest.

"The first trial is about 1 month away from now. We haven't practiced as a team yet." Mika weighed her worries. The last time the three of us were together it was during that moment two weeks ago.

"Well, there's also the possibility of not having any team events." I added.

"It's not about whether there would be team events or not... I just want to practice with the three of us..." Her voice started to soften, and Mika's eyes lowered. Since that night back at the festival we tried to focus on our studies first.

Although I felt the same for wanting things to be normal again. I mean who wouldn't?

Not long the lunch break would soon end, and I left Mika by herself sitting at the withered tree.

'I wish things would have gotten better since that day.' I gritted my teeth.

Walking down the hallway, students were filled with smiles and joy on their faces as they talk about the first trial and how hard they were preparing for it. The third years being the oldest having their last bout in the coming events, the second years focusing on their skills and choosing what they wanted to do before their third year, and the first years who are the greenhorns as well as the main actors for this event, the first trial.

Holding such heavy thoughts, I carelessly paced faster and bumped into someone.

"Agh!" She tripped and fell on the floor in a graceful manner. The crowd for a moment looked at the scene and soon carried on with their stories of their life in Tempest. I stood up and extended my hand towards the girl I just bumped into.

"I'm sorry, I was thinking about something." I shrugged the dust off my clothes.

"It's fine; people sometimes are filled with problems that causes these things to happen." She smiled. Her explanation was a little vague, but I got her point.

I took a side glance at her, and she wasn't wearing the uniform of Tempest.

"Oh, were you just wondering if I am a student?" She closed the distance between us and gestured that we walk.

"Yes, haha. Sorry for staring like that..." I lowered my head and apologized.

"It's fine I'm Marigold Leona, a 2nd year student from Dawness." I stopped and got flustered all of a sudden. Just as her name pertains her hair was golden blonde.

"From the famous Dawness?" I got a bit worked up and my voice was a bit louder than usual.

Dawness is one of the Royal Family Schools and even above that, it is one of the three strongest Royal School hailed as the second powerhouse with Raven as the first and Fiera as the third strongest.

"Hey, that kid said Dawness, then is she..." The students along the hallway were murmuring with each other. I might have started a ruckus...

"Mari, where the heck were you?" She was also wearing the same outfit as Marigold. 'Is that their uniform?' Seeing the infamous golden rose-crest from their uniform it seems they were truly Dawness students.

"Ah, sorry I bumped to ah---"

"Sorry for not introducing earlier, Kan Uolo a first-year student of Tempest." I introduced myself. I didn't butcher my pronunciation or anything right?
