Arjhay's POV
I woke up earlier than usual. I'm still confused on what's happening. I glanced at Glacia, my fox guardian. All I know is that there is no mage that is capable of acquiring two magic. But how did– no, I should accept what happened to us. Not that I don't want it, I'm just shocked.
As planned, our new guardians will be left in our house to not raise suspicion. The new guardians agreed, for our safety. Our friends' guardians are also joining to stay in our house. The security in our house was also heightened.
We received our excuse letters from Mrs. Liraliane and went to school. From there, we should do our best to hide our discovery to prevent any bad happenings. Especially, our new hair and eye colors from showing.
In our classroom, as usual, Illiana and Erliane asked why I was absent. "Here, read this.", I gave them the letter that said we needed to leave the island to do some job.
"What did you do there?", Eljake asked. "Secret.", I said then smiled. "Anyway, no assignment to take care of. We only need to read the poem, 'The Raven'. "Okay, thanks.", I said.
"Uhmm, the monthly battle is near Arjhay, and starting tomorrow, there will be extensive training sessions for us to be ready.", Erliane said. "I heard that they will shuffle all the pairings, from eighth grade to the twelfth grade. There might be chances where we will fight twelfth graders.", Jerimuel added. "So, can you train us?", finished Jenrich.
"Well, of course!", I replied.
********************************
The first practice was announced by the headmistress. As of now, we are all in the field, each student practicing, of course, either on their own or by group.
"So, let's first start with the basics: Magic power.", I said while making a compact bubble. "You know what to do.", I said then stepped away of the bubble. Illiana tried first, firing several glass shards on the bubble. She managed to crack it but not burst it.
Erliane came next. Using materialization to harden the rock boulders illusion, she threw this and she bursted the bubble. "Good work, Erliane!", I exclaimed.
"Next.", I shouted. Jerimuel used an exploding fire flash, and popped the bubble. Eljake managed to pop the bubble too, by using a cloud bash. Jenrich did popped the bubble by using charge kick.
"Illiana, you're losing focus. Produce sharper and powerful shards.", I said to her, noticing her lack of focus on the attack. This time, she successfully popped the bubble.
"How are all your training on perception, huh?", I asked them. "We still can't get the hang of it.", replied Eljake. "Well let's see.", I told them. They closed their eyes. I fired a slow moving bubble to each of them.
They somewhat sensed it (a good sign) and dodged it by ducking. "Wow, you dodged it!", I said. "It takes a lot of time though. Arjhay, how long did you learned the technique?", asked Jerimuel.
"Three days.", I replied. "Three days!?", Jerimuel shouted. I was kind of embarassed when many students looked at us. "Hey! Don't shout! It's embarrassing!", Erliane shouted. "Anyway, let's continue our practice. Speed and agility!", I exclaimed.
The aim was to evade my attacks. That's all. But evading hundreds of bubbles? Let's see. "You can do it!", I smirked while watching them evade. They did some awkward poses while evading so I laughed, rather hysterically.
They all seemed tired, of course, after the training and for me, they all passed. "Good work everyone! Okay, one hour rest.", I said then they all sat around me.
"Water please.", Jenrich exclaimed, Brince, his guardian, galloping near him. "Okay, here.", I said, giving him a cold water sphere. "What am I supp-", he said but I cut in. "Stop, drink. It's perfectly safe and refreshing.", I said, giving the other three their spheres too. They drank and thanked me after. "You did very well, Illiana!", Crystal, Illiana's guardian cheered while crawling in her lap.
"We're not prepared a while ago.", Eljake said. "You suddenly fired and we evaded.", Erliane added. I pouted and said, "But it's part of your training!", mimicking a child's voice. A girl suddenly shrieked from nowhere but it sounded like she shrieked after she saw a celebrity or something.
Wait, a celebrity? Famous?! "Guys! Run!", I exclaimed to the sitting group and guardians, after I noticed a group of girls slowly advancing towards us. They panicked at first then ran, barely following me, along with their guardian. I lead them to our supposedly class practice area, losing the pursuers.

No one's POV
(This happened in the morning, the same day as the start of training.)
Silence. A very calming silence. Yes, the silence–
"Arciel!", Haide shouted at the doorway as she and Amalia entered the room. The silence was perfect, tch. I sat in the back of the room, petting Zhyne, my falcon.
"Your brother's in the field practicing!", Analia shouted, making my girl classmates shuffle out of the room to probably see my brother.
They went near me, with Jake and Xhyner later coming. "You told us that we will meet him!", Haide exclaimed.
"I did not say that."
"He's right, Haide.", Analia said.
"Oops, sorry. I just thought so.", she embarrassingly responded.
"Anyway, why are the seventh graders not included?", asked Xyner. "We're still too young.", I told him.
"How about we watch them practice?", suggested Analia. "Sure, I want to see Arjhay.", I responded.
**********************
"Wow, their practice is so exciting!", Jake exclaimed as we sat in the sheds nearby. "Look in there! Prince Arjhay's practicing too!", shrieked Haide while pointing to a
"More like training his classmates.", I remarked, noticing how he teach his classmates proper way of firing projectiles to a girl.
"Oh, I'm so jealous to that girl!", exclaimed Amalia while pointing the girl. I watched Arjhay while firing many bubbles to his friends who are trying their best to dodge it.
"Hahaha, look at them!", I pointed them while laughing. The others laughed too, of course, especially the two girls sitting near me. We sat in there for a while until we returned to our classroom after Arjhay ran for unknown reasons.
