Outside, Bijou did some breathing exercises while Luz, Hazel, King, and Eda had finished setting up the bullseyes and wooden dummies that the latter collected.
"Okay, Bijou. The equipment is all set up. Since you just recently learned earth magic, you ready for some magic training?" Eda said to the girl.
"All set, Eda." Bijou said as she finished her breathing exercises.
With the help of her bangle, Bijou conjured up a light sword and slashed her way through the mannequins until none of them has a head or a limb. Next, she conjures up rocks to at the bullseyes until all of them either have holes in them or are split into fragments.
"Excellent, Bijou. Looks like you've really getting the hang of the light and earth magic." Luz said as Eda, Hazel, and King applauded.
"Thanks," Bijou said as she wiped the sweat off her forehead.
Just then, the three heard someone nearby.
"Excuse me!" It was Principal Bump, happening to be passing by.
"Principal Bump? What are you doing here?" Bijou asked.
"I was just out on one of my morning walks when I noticed you outside. Now, I haven't asked who you are, young lady? Please tell me your name."
"My name is Bijou Adams," Bijou replied.
"Is there something you want to talk to her about?" Eda asked, her eyes narrowed.
"Yes. I remember the time you fended off the abominations with that light sword you must have conjured up several days ago and the time you released a rock suddenly in that area at the covention. So with that said, I would like to invite you to attend Hexside School of Magic and Demonics." Principal Bump replied.
"What!?" exclaimed Bijou, Hazel, Eda, and King.
"Really?!" Luz exclaimed.
"Yes. You heard me. I would like to invite you, Bijou Adams, back to attend Hexside." Principal Bump responded.
"I don't mean to disrespect you, sir, but aren't I banned from Hexside?" asked Bijou.
"That's true. But as the principal of this school, I can lift your ban. So what do you say?" asked the principal. Bijou begins to consider it. She turned to look at Eda, King, Luz, and Hazel. Luz nodded at him. Eda shook her head, while King and Hazel shrugged.
"If it's all the same to you, Principal Bump. Can I at least think about it?" she blurted out.
"Of course, Bijou. Let me know when you've made your decision," Principal Bump said as he walked away.
"Wow. Principal Bump just invited you back to Hexside," Luz said.
"Well done, Bij," Hazel said.
"Yes, congratulations," King said.
"Hehe. Thanks, you guys," Bijou chuckled.

Later that afternoon...
Eda was holding a deck of cards in the Owl House. She smirked as the eye symbols came to life from them. She locked her gaze on Owlbert, who was wearing a green visor. Both sets of cards appeared to be tarot cards.
"Watch closely, girls," Eda warned the two. Luz sat on the couch next to Eda, while Bijou sat on her knees on the floor and King and Hazel sat on the opposite end of the couch. "Hexes Hold 'Em is the most tricky game on the Boiling Isles. Any proper witch knows how to play."
"Oh, boy. Cards," Luz exclaimed cheerfully. "The paper rectangles that old people think are fun."
"Yeah, I remember playing similar card games with those old folks at the retirement home," Bijou went on to say.
