The exam finally concluded. That took forever... Raven internally whines as she walks out of the arena.
"Hi! My name's Rill!" An aqua-haired boy comes up to her.
"My names Raven," She smiles brightly at him. "You got accepted into... Grey Deer, right?"
"Yup! Your magic was really interesting and pretty! What kind of magic do you use?"
"I use Shadow Magic. Your magic was pretty interesting too! Those pictures you painted were really pretty!!"
"You really think so?!" He lights up.
"Of course!!!"
"Would you like to get dinner with me? I'm hungry after spending all day here," Rill asks her out.
"Sur—" she gets cut off by someone yelling.
"Raven? Raaaaveeennnn!!" She looks around and sees a brunette man with a Black Bull's robe on calling her.
"Over here, Black Bull!" She waves to get his attention. Finally spotting her in the crowd, he makes his way over to the small girl, whose hand he could barely see. "So, you're the one showing me to the hotel?"
"Wow! You're so cute! You wanna grab a bite with me? I'm Finral, by the way,"
"Hey!! I just asked her out!!" Rill exclaims angrily.
"And? I'm the one who's supposed to escort her to her hotel!" Finral glares down at the shorter boy.
"Enoughhhhh! You both can take me for dinner for all I care so long as I get foood!" Raven whines at the two boys, oblivious that they were fighting over her. Sighing as they ignored her, she walked off to find food somewhere in this unfamiliar city. After a little while, she noticed that she was being followed by a group of four people. After they silently followed her for a while, they finally made to jump her as she was walking down a dark alley, through which she kept walking towards a food stand.
"Shaddup and sod off if I ain't gettin' grub," she says hangrily as she continues towards the food stand. One of them decides to attack her using vines, so she used the shadow of the attack to go back to the two she left, leaving the group confused behind her.
"Ummm... translation???" The tallest of the cloaked figures asks, looking to the others.
"She basically told us to eff off unless we get her a bite," another one answers.
"Ummm... that doesn't help..." the one who tried attacking her with vines sweat drops. "What do you mean 'get her a bite'?"
"Nobles," the fourth one rolls their violet eyes. "She told us to fuck off unless we were going to get her food, and frankly, I don't blame her. She was at the exams all afternoon and was probably really hungry and tired."
"How rude of her!" The third exclaims, disgusted, shifting her pinkish-red hair out of her face.
"How audacious of you, Miss Priss," the fourth one retorts.
"We should head back now," the first one turns away and starts walking away.
"But we need to find out how strong she is!" The second one whines.
"Come on. We're reporting back to the Vice-Captain," the first one commands. "Besides, Coraline should be back by morning, so if you want to be there to greet her, we need to get this done."
Elsewhere, with Raven
"ARE YOU TWO DONE YET?!" She yells out impatiently before looking around and realizing she is not where she expected to be. She was in an elegant room with all the captains and the Wizard King, standing in Yami's shadow. All of the others were startled as soon as she appeared, most of them now in battle stances. "Wrong shadow. My apologizes for the interruption," she bowed before shadow jumping away.
