On the story!
——- ——-
On November 11, Mu Qing was studying in the library about another traditional event. Azul walked over to him when the sole Qi Student started to hum something. "What a lovely voice..." Mu Qing screamed hearing his voice.

"Shh!" Several voices hushed him. "Pardon this one..." Mu Qing blushed. Azul chuckled. "Excuse me, but there is a concert that is partaking two days prior. There is an audition today with all students participating in the event."

Mu Qing shrugged, "good luck with that then. Now let me get back to studying." Azul held his arm, "oh, I meant all the students and that includes you."
Mu Qing glared at him while folding his arms, "what do I have to do then?"

Azul shrugged, "anything you think of: you can sing, dance, play tricks, etcetera."

Mu Qing looked at him, bewildered. He slid a hand down his face and sighed, "I...I'll think of something...."

Azul grinned, "perfect. You're expected to come in at 8 p.m. farewell for now." He left as Mu Qing placed his hands on his face, "I wonder if it's too late to declare faking a fever?"

Mu Qing walked down the library and borrowed the books and headed for his dorm when the Leech Twins barged in again...

"Jade, Floyd. Not now please."

Floyd whined, "but I wanted to hang out again!"

Mu Qing facepalmed, "I have all this homework to complete and now I have to ponder what I should do about that audition for the concert in two days."

Jade's eyes twinkled, "oh, I believe Azul has mentioned it to you?"

Mu Qing nodded, "yeah he did...what're you two doing?"

Floyd smiled, "we're gonna do some hypnotic act. Oh, our parents are coming too and they're dying to meet cha!"

Mu Qing groaned, "augh! Call it foreshadowing but I think I have an inkling who may take after who..."

Floyd snickered, "you can see the future now? Is there no end to your Qi abilities?"

Jade and Floyd began to snicker as Mu Qing ruffled his hair and muttered to himself aggressively until he grunted out, "why don't you come over to our dorm? At this point, it's already a second home for every dorm."

Floyd's eyes sparkled, "wait, Cutie's inviting me and Jade to his dorm?!"

Mu Qing blushed, "look, do you wanna come or not?!"

Jade chuckled, "Of course, we'd love to come. Azul is welcome as well, is he not?"

Mu Qing's teeth gnarled, "as long as he doesn't make any financial schemes on my behalf."

Floyd giggled. "Yaaay~~~~! We get to see Cutie's dorm!" He hugged Mu Qing whose scowl darkened and growled, "don't push your luck, you dumb eel!" Floyd smiled.

Jade and Floyd chuckled, finding themselves to be quite entertained by Qi Student's vexed temperament.

Floyd grinned at the place while Jade hummed in sudden contentment he hasn't felt in years just looking at the garden.

Azul looked around in fascination, he held one of the flowers as it danced in the wind.

There they heard something. Mu Qing was practicing Swordsmanship. He swooshed about with his sword, then he swung it from left to right. He spun a couple of times as he swung the sword clockwise while spinning around.

The Octavinelle group stared with wonder as Mu Qing appeared to be dancing with his sword.

His beautiful hazel eyes were shining under the sun and his hair whipped around. Then he leaped into the air and before the Octavinelles' eyes, they witnessed a giant boulder being sliced and diced into pieces by that sword. "Whoo! That's the biggest boulder you've sliced yet!" Epel cheered.
