It was the next day and the girls and I were in Mrs. Faragonda's class sitting on the bleachers as we watch one of our fellow students, Judith, do her test. With a yell she manages to complete the assignment.

"Well done, Judith, you get an A." The principal praises before calling on someone else "Bloom it's your turn." the headmistress calls the orange haired girl as she stepped in the middle of the room in her fairy form.

Giving a nod to the headmistress, the orange haired girl prepared herself as Mrs. Faragonda snapped her fingers and beams of light appeared at random. Bloom's goal was to capture the rose in a bubble levitating in the center of the room. Dodging the beams of light, she almost got hit by one because of her tripping on herself. Though she escapes unscathed as she jumps up and does a flip managing to grab onto the rose. Now with the rose in hand she flies around dodging the beams as she approaches the drop off location. Seeing the headmistress smirk, I see her send a green sparkle above Bloom which forms into a large sphere of water. With Bloom almost dropping the flower off she notices the shadow around her and looks up seeing the sphere. Letting out a yell she sends a blast of fire into it causing it to explode with a bang. Leaving us jumping up and cheer for her.

"Settle down girls." Mrs. Farragonda chuckled before turning towards the orange haired girl. "Excellent performance Bloom. Return to your seat. Next please." the headmistress praised as I got up from my seat.

"That would be me." I stated as the girls and Alastair wished me luck. "Good job out there." I praised Bloom passing beside her. 

"Thank you and good luck out there." Bloom replied back as she turned back to normal while I transformed into my fairy form.

Seeing the flower appear in the middle of the room floating I give Mrs. Farragonda a nod before she nods back and sends her magic my way as beams started appearing in faster intervals. Running forwards, I flip by beams landing on my feet before one appears before me making me drop down to slide beside it managing to not get caught. Stopping my momentum, I launch myself at the flower. Grabbing it, I fly to the side as a beam of light appeared beside me. Seeing a shadow covering me, I look above and see a water sphere. Throwing a beam of my magic it explodes with a bang as I land on the floor and run to the drop off location dodging the beams of light. Reaching it, a water wall appears on both sides of the drop off making me yelp as I threw the rose up releasing my magic on both sides making the walls disappear. Catching the rose I put it in the drop off before I hear cheers from Alastair and the girls.

"Excellent work Zariel. Return to your seat. Next please." The headmistress praises as I got up and transformed back to normal returning back to my seat with the girls hugging me.

"Great job!" Musa praised as the others agreed.

Before long we continued watching the others go through the test, some passing, some failing until everyone took it.

"Now that all the test are done, you all are free for the rest of the day." Mrs. Faragonda announced as everyone cheered and went their separate ways. 

"What should we do now?" Flora asked as we all walked to our dorm room.

"I'm having a spa day!" Stella exclaimed doing a twirl before asking the rest of us. "How about you girls?"

"I gotta do a system check." Techna replied denying the offer.

"I'm going to check up on my plants, I need to keep track of what I need." Flora informed denying as well.

"I can go with you Stella." Musa replied taking up on the offer.

"Zariel. Alastair. Bloom, what about you?" Stella asked hopeful turning to us.
