As a few students bid their farewells and departed, a close-knit quartet remained. Among them was a girl, her pastel orange eyes gleaming like rare gems, while her long red-gradient curly hair cascaded down, framing her face with a touch of elegance. Her skin held a gentle tan, reminiscent of a sun-kissed glow.

By her side stood a young man with flowing raven-black hair that seemed to absorb the ambient light. His eyes held a mesmerizing shade reminiscent of a soft peach, adding an intriguing depth to his countenance.

Accompanying them were two other intriguing figures-a young man whose spirit echoed the legendary adventures of his grandfather, Robin Hood. The fourth, exuding a charismatic confidence, carried the distinctive aura of Gaston's lineage.

The magic mirror came to life, showing a picture of a girl with bright red hair. "Aguya Vasilisa," the mirror called out. The red-haired girl stepped forward with a smile. Then, another picture appeared, showing a boy with really dark hair. "Haruki Momotaro," the mirror said, and the boy joined the girl. They stood side by side, excited and curious.

"Both of you are going to be part of Ling Ling Iron Fan's team," the magic mirror announced. Ling Ling and her friends waved happily to welcome Aguya and Haruki. With eager faces, the two new students walked over to join the team and introduced themselves with friendly greetings.

The magic mirror's enchantment continued. "Jax Robin Hood," it called, and a boy with a spark of adventure in his eyes came forward. Then, "Eric Gaston," the mirror revealed, and another boy stepped up with confidence.

The mirror showed their path, "You'll be joining the Broomsticks team." Vicky and Cyrus, from the Broomsticks, waved to greet Jax and Eric. The two new boys shared a quick excited look and gave each other a fist bump before heading over to meet Vicky and Cyrus.

After the simple event of the day, everyone left Snow White's classroom.

In the garden, Ling Ling's two old teammates wandered off, leaving her new friends, Aguya and Haruki, to follow her. Ling Ling had an idea to introduce them to her former temporary team. Just then, Travis dashed up to Ling Ling and gave her a big hug. Ling Ling returned the hug with a warm smile. As they let go, another girl, Rose, introduced herself with a cheerful bounce in her step. "Hey there, I'm Rose. Rose Cinderella. By any chance, could I get a little souvenir from your-?" Rose's sentence was suddenly interrupted by a playful flick of Astoria's ivy-covered hair. "Sorry about her," Astoria chimed in. "Anyway, I'm Astoria Rapunzel. Right over here is Joy Le Frog," she pointed to Joy who waved with a friendly grin. "And that's Hawk Snow White," Hawk waved too, his enthusiasm contagious. Ling Ling introduced Travis next. "And here's Travis Beast," she said with a smile.

Aguya stepped forward, her eyes shining with excitement. "It's truly an honor to meet you all," she said with genuine enthusiasm. In a burst of vibrant energy, mini fireworks appeared behind her, adding a touch of magic to the moment. "I'm Aguya Vasilisa!" she exclaimed, her spirit matching Rose's cheery vibe. Haruki followed her lead, stepping forward and offering a respectful bow. "I'm Haruki Momotaro," he introduced himself with a polite nod, his tone carrying a sense of respect and humility. "Just like Miss Aguya mentioned, meeting all of you is a great honor."

Aguya stepped forth, a glimmer of amusement in her eyes. "You don't need to call me 'miss,' Haruki. It's true, it's a sign of respect, but remember, we're the same age," she gently reassured him. Haruki nodded, acknowledging Aguya's words. "I'll do my best, A- Aguya," he replied, his earnestness drawing a soft chuckle from Aguya. A radiant smile graced her lips as she released a burst of mini fireworks, her own unique way of expressing contentment. "That's much better," she declared with a sense of satisfaction.

Curiosity sparked within Joy, prompting her to inquire about the origins of Aguya's enchanting display of happiness. "Aguya, why do those mini fireworks appear when you're happy?" Joy questioned with genuine intrigue. Aguya's eyes lit up as she embarked on a tale of enchantment, "Oh, that's all thanks to my grandmother and Baba Yaga. You see, in my homeland, my grandmother is known as the firebird, thanks to Baba Yaga. Her story used to be rather dark, but everything changed when she met my grandfather. And let me tell you, my grandfather is nothing like that revolting Tsar. Absolutely not," she concluded, her playful disgust drawing shared laughter from her newfound friends.
