Rise of the Twelve Star Mage

Chapter 58: Window Shoppers

The Previous Day At the front of the academy.

STEP STEP STEP

The light from the sun dims as twilight shortly arrives.

The five student council members leave the academy.

"Faith" Luna calls.

"Yes?"

"How do you feel about Valerus being a twelve-star?" she asks. "I say the more the merrier but-"

"It's more of a risk," Axel says with a concerned look. Bringing himself into the conversation Axel stops the group from continuing walking right as they reach the academy entrance.

"I was happy for him at the moment. The amount of power and newfound strength in finally getting mana. Although now thinking about the long run it could be a danger for Aiz and Oriana in general" Issac says.

"The dangers that now await us in the future have now increased," Luna says with a sad look as she looks at Faith.

"I haven't been getting any future sights since that day. They haven't been -" Ceaser says.

COUGH COUGH

"You okay Ceaser?" Issac checks up on him putting his hand patting on it.

"Yes, I talked too much" in a raspy voice as he pulled out his special drink.

"With that being said we must be on high alert especially you Faith. That fact that now we have 4 Twelve Stars within this region who knows what may happen." Axel says firmly "Not knowing what event will transpire in this critical time is daunting.

The five council members show concern on their faces looking down and thinking about all possible outcomes.

"What bothers me is why the Headmaster didn't order for the Magus Exam to be postponed or better yet canceled," Luna says.

"That I am not sure of. I would love to know myself"

The five look back at the Headmasters room wondering what can happen next.

Federation Squad 5 Barracks

CREAK

A door opens.

STEP STEP

A giant room made pitch black with little to no light. With little bits of light here and there. Officers wear visor-like headgear monitoring planets within the solar system. With all black coats.

Percival Caldwell walks in and speaks to the officer closest to him who is sitting next to the door. "I wish to speak with Captain Aibara ."

Eyes meet him, from above, down, left, and right light fishes swimming in the ocean as his officers float. There is no gravity.

"Of course Captain Caldwell Cap-"

ZIP

"Captain Caldwell welcome to my barracks. Come let's walk or float" Captain Kaneda Aibara motions with his hands as they walk a path more in-depth in his room.

With a conflicted look on his face, the Dragonclad Captain has no choice but to follow the carefree Squad 5 captain.

STEP STEP

"Dont you get confused in here?"

"Hmm no. I pretty much built this room and made it the way I am due to my magic. Am surprised you're not reacting Captain Caldwell" Kaneda materializes a black orb.
