"Excuse me?!" Rose speaks up and walks towards Headmaster Alfred Dawkins. "I did not train all these years to get my exemption taken away. Training my ability. Honing my magic for it to be taken away just like that!"

"U-uh Rose I think we should come down a bit" Azalea tries to calm her down.

"Calm down how can I calm down?!" Rose stomps her feet. She then points at Eriko "At the Magus Exam I will come for you Eriko!" Rose says as she storms away.

Lily and Bella follow her.

The girl with yellow hair Sunneta walks over to us "I am very sorry for her actions. You see Rose has always felt like she had to be on top of her game. Please dont take it personally" as she bows her head and takes Azalea with has her head down.

The reason why she acted that away is the question here I thought at that moment.

The rest of us stood there like a bunch of sitting ducks.

I look at Eriko's expression as she as her head with a face that spelled regret. "Ezekiel. Albeck. Am sorry for what I've done. Am sorry to you student council. I lost control there." As she stands there apologizing for what has transpired.

STEP STEP

"It's not your fault. As I said I think of this as a positive" Albeck says.

"Am with him Eriko we can use this Magus Exam to show the rest of the students we weren't classified exempt for nothing," Ezekiel speaks up.

"Right Albeck?!" Ezekiel goes to fist-bump Albeck.

Albeck heads in the opposite direction and leaves Ezekiel hanging as he fist-bumps himself.

"Pftt" Faith quietly laughs to herself as the student council looks in disappointment.

"Am exciting to see what you bring Valerus" Albeck says to me as he walks away.

"Bring it" I shout to him.

"Well everyone it's time to head for your next class," Alfred says. "Student Council you may return to your classes as well."

"We will discuss this more at a later time. As for the damage, it's fine. Miss Eriko do not be sorry we all learn to use our magic eventually. You'll gain control of yours." Alfred says as he teleports away."

MARCH MARCH MARCH

The headmaster's collateral repair unit comes to repair the damaged area.

"Alright everyone we shall see you later we're heading back to class," Axel says. "Stay safe and stick together," Luna says. "I think I have a class with you three next. See you guys later" Faith says as she joins us.

"It was a pleasure meeting you guys we'll keep in touch," Issac says while he walks away.

"Valerus" Ceaser calls me over. "Watch. Surroundings. Be Careful" as he gives me a warm smile.

"Ok thank you for your helpful information. That you shared with us." \

"We'll talk. More. Later"

"Yes see you later" I wave goodbye and the rest of the student council as we head on to our next class.

-------------------------

A table with a giant magic orb placed on it relayed the events that transpired at Aurora Saint Academy.

The Nine Phantoms sit and observe.

"Great it was just getting good now they are heading back to class" Blade speaks as he sits on his chair made of metal and armor with his arms behind his head and leaning back. "By the way can we take these masks off please wear them here at the base we take them off. I mean they will eventually crack in battle. I mean look at this bag of bones he heard in the past his mask is like that cause someone cracked it" Blade says as he points at Deadman.

"For once Blade, you have a point that I could agree with. I have a hard time breathing in this thing it's too stuffy" Melody claims.

"See"

"Dont take this wrong I still think you annoying" she follows up.

"Alright but the main point is she agrees"

"I also agree how will I continue to unleash my devasting moves without me removing my mask and robe" Grandmaster speaks up.

"Yes we have less mobility thank you"

"Be quiet" Grandmaster speaks.

The Phantoms sit and wait for their leader's response.

"Alright, you have the choice to leave the mask on or not" Phantom responds.

"Yes," Blade says in joy.

"But remember the whole purpose of these masks is to hide our true identities some of us are well known out there and have recognizable faces. But then again we will eventually gain more traction and more and more people are going to find out who we truly are eventually" Phantom says.

"Your right" Blade says sorrowly.

"Moving forward I must discuss which one of us will carry on with "The Mission" Phantom speaks up.

"I'll be one of them since I already know how they are," Silient says.

"OOOH I'll go" Bloody Queen responds I wanna go see my little lion again.

"I will lead them I wanna show Mr.Valerus something"

"You three you know the mission and task"

"Retrieve the 12 stars and return"

Deadman, Silent Step, and Bloddy Queen stand and bow with their hands on their hearts.

"As you wish master"

VRMM

As they all transverse within the shadows.

"Ahh, I wanted to try out some new abilities" Blade pouts as the remaining members watch in silence.

"Hey, the master is going to head out early I have a performance to get too" Melody says.

"Yes you may go, Melody"

"Alright see you guys at the next one HMM HMM HMM HMM" Melody skips away as she hums a song for an upcoming performance.

"The girl she's starting to gain popularity," Grandmaster says.

"Yes, she is a useful ally. Her ability is on par with Deadman" Stormbringer speaks up.

"Oh look who finally spoke up all meeting," Blade says.

"Blade this meeting was mostly observing the Magic Orb it had minimal to barely any talking please be quiet.

"The rest of you have a job as well" "Listen closely, "Phantom says.

SHIVER

"Gah" what was that? I turn and look around.

My ears begin to ring.

"Valerus" A voice calls out to me. My vision was distorted, and my hearing was messed up.

"Hahaha"

"Deadman"

GRIP

Something grabs my shoulder.

"Aaah"

"Woah you alright man? You started to fall behind when we were walking" Ezekiel asks me.

"Nothing just tired probably from this eventful and long day"

"Well it'll be over soon classes are also finished."

I continued to walk as Eriko was not acting like her usual self. Something was on her mind; something was bugging her.

I glance back to where I once was.

Nothing was there.
