Andrea exclaimed, "Red Fountain looks completely different now, it's like a whole new school!"

Aria observed, "The damage from the Trix attack was no joke. I wonder what changes they've made."

Flora beamed, "Everyone seems thrilled to be back." Tell me about it." Stella said as she crossed her arms when she saw Brandon and Elena together. Aria saw Bloom and Sky before frowning. Even though she vowed to move on, seeing them together still hurt.

"Let's see if we can spot the guys," Hannah said and the girls started walking outside around Red Fountain. It wasn't long before they spotted the guys practicing fighting." Roy!" Andrea cheered and the boys stopped to see the girls.

"Hey, girls," Roy greeted with a warm smile as he and Jacob approached the group. The girls turned their attention towards them, curiosity evident in their eyes.

"Jacob, what are you doing here?" Hannah inquired, her voice laced with surprise. Stella chimed in, her tone equally puzzled, "Yeah, didn't you graduate?"

Jacob took a moment to gather his thoughts before responding, "I did, indeed, graduate. However, something unexpected happened. The Headmaster graciously offered me a teaching position here."

Hannah's eyebrows furrowed as she processed the information, her mind racing with questions. Stella, on the other hand, seemed intrigued by the revelation. But before she could respond, Andrea called out someone's name.

"Zephyr!"

Zephyr glanced back and caught sight of Andrea. A warm smile spread across his face as he made his way over to her. "Hey, Andrea," he greeted, to which she returned the smile.

"Hey, girls, I'd like you to meet my cousin Zephyr. He'll be joining Red Fountain this year," Andrea introduced, gesturing towards the group of girls. Aria, Flora, Stella, Hannah, Jacob, and Roy all waved in greeting.

Zephyr then turned to Jacob, offering a respectful nod. "Professor," he greeted, receiving a nod in return.

With a gentle smile, Flora posed the question, "What are your thoughts on the Red Fountain Zephyr?" Zephyr's eyes sparkled as he replied, "It's absolutely breathtaking, exceeding all expectations." The group couldn't help but chuckle, their laughter mingling with his infectious enthusiasm.

"Red Fountain truly is unparalleled," Stella remarked, capturing Zephyr's attention. A blush crept onto his face, but he quickly tried to conceal it, relieved that Stella didn't seem to notice his embarrassment. They all proceeded to follow Roy towards the Red Fountain Arena, their anticipation growing with each passing moment.

"Here we are." Roy said as the girls looked around." The structure is amazing." Aria said as she looked around." Wow! Look over there!" Hannah pointed to a guy drawing.

Stella pointed at a boy across the room. "Who's that? He's kinda cute," she asked, causing Zephyr to shoot her a jealous look. Jacob leaned in and whispered, "That's Saladin's nephew, Helia." Flora, intrigued, turned to Jacob and inquired.

"So he must be a talented Specialist?" Roy shook his head and replied, "Him? No way. He's a real pacifist. Doesn't even like to get his hands dirty." The girls exchanged puzzled looks, wondering why he would attend Red Fountain if he didn't like to fight.

"As a matter of fact, I heard he dropped out of Red Fountain." Roy said and they all walked up to Helia." Hey, Helia. Let me introduce you. Meet the stars of Alfea. This is Stella, Andrea, and-"

"Hi, I'm Stella. Are you an artist? Can you show me your sketches?" Stella said excitedly to him." Helia stands and bows to her before showing her." Pleased to meet you." He said and Flora blushed at his voice.

Stella marveled at the drawings in front of her. "Wow, these are great. Say, would you draw a portrait of me?" she asked eagerly. Zephyr, with a hint of skepticism, crossed his arms. Andrea, noticing her cousin's reaction, smirked and playfully nudged him with her elbow. Zephyr simply glanced at her before rolling his eyes and looking away.

Flora stood in awe as she gazed upon Helia's latest masterpiece. The vibrant colors danced across the canvas, breathing life into every stroke. She couldn't help but be captivated by the sheer energy emanating from the artwork.

"Your lines are full of life," Flora exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine admiration. "One can really sense the energy."

Helia's eyes widened in surprise, his heart swelling with a mix of pride and disbelief. No one had ever truly understood the essence of his art before. But here was Flora, appreciating the very soul he poured onto the canvas.

"And I love the way your brushstrokes match the fern leaf of the paper," Flora continued, her eyes sparkling with delight.

Helia's breath caught in his throat. He had meticulously chosen that particular paper, hoping to infuse his drawing with a touch of nature's beauty. Yet, he never expected anyone to notice the intricate details, especially the delicate fern pattern.

"No one's ever noticed the fern in the paper before," Helia stammered, his voice filled with astonishment.

Flora's cheeks flushed with a shy giggle, her gaze shifting downwards. The unexpected compliment had caught her off guard, and she couldn't help but feel a flutter of warmth in her heart.

Helia couldn't tear his eyes away from Flora, his admiration for her growing with each passing moment. Her genuine appreciation for his art touched him deeply, forging a connection that went beyond words.

As they stood there, lost in the beauty of the artwork and the unspoken bond between them, Flora couldn't help but wonder if this newfound connection would blossom into something more.

The group gathered at the race track, excitement buzzing in the air. Flora nervously fidgeted with her hair, stealing glances at Helia from the corner of her eye. She couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat whenever their eyes met. The others noticed the growing connection between them and exchanged knowing smiles.

Roy, always the mischievous one, couldn't resist teasing Flora and Helia. With a smirk, he playfully nudged them, "Looks like we have a potential love story in the making, huh?" Flora blushed furiously, her cheeks turning a shade of crimson that matched the roses she adored so much.

Hannah, the ever-supportive friend, interrupted the teasing banter, reminding everyone of the impending race. "Come on, guys! The race is about to start!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement. The group waved goodbye to Helia, who was still stealing glances at Flora, before settling into their seats to watch the thrilling event unfold.

"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, friends of Red Fountain! We have not come here today to lament over the ruins of our illustrious school. Although the historical splendor of Red Fountain has been ruined, the skills and spirit of our specialists remain unshaken." Codatorta said And everyone started clapping their hands.

"The time has come to restore the prestige of Red Fountain." He begins using magic." By renewing the very foundations of our institution." The school started shaking.

Hannah clutched onto Stella, her eyes wide with fear. "What's happening?" she exclaimed.

"It's collapsing!" Flora cried out, her voice filled with panic as the school continued to shake.

The guys just smirked at the girls, seemingly unfazed by the chaos unfolding around them.

"Everyone, please remain calm. Enjoy the ride!" Saladin's voice boomed over the chaos.

As the structure crumbled, a new school began to levitate, leaving everyone in awe. The ceiling of the arena opened up, revealing a breathtaking sight as the seats extended backward and more seats magically appeared.

"Ladies and gentlemen, a parade for the new Red Fountain!" Codatorta announced, excitement evident in his voice.

The dragons were released, soaring around the arena as Saladin and Codatorta watched with delight. Codatorta threw his hands up in amazement, exclaiming, "Wow!"
