*At the holy test*

*Aya’s dozing off*

“Hey, Aya are you alright?” Lorraine’s worried on Aya.

“Y-Yeah...Something’s just bothering me” Aya forced to smile.

“This is the hardest test, so we need to concentrate” Kiel said.

“Sorry...” Aya apologized.

“It’s alright, just cheer up!” Akemi smiled.

“We still have 4 tests left to take...to know if we can leave the school by this week...” Kian said.

*Their eyes widened*

“What do you mean by this week?! ISN’T IT AFTER A YEAR?” Yukiro’s shocked.

“Well I asked the principal about that and he said that if we have high grades or perfected it we can easily leave this week and have our graduation too...By the looks of it they’re preparing for it...advance though...*sigh*....and they he also said that we’ll be taking the other 4 this day...that old man!” Kian said.

*They’re strongly shock*

“Does...That mean...We don’t have any break?!” Yukiro shouted.

“Yeah...” Kian sighed.

“Now students...What I want you to do is to heal that dead seed in your hand and make it grow into a tree...Remember that tree reflects your personality...it’s a magical seed!” Hikaru said.

“This test is the hardest because that seed won’t grow if you’re half baked serious about healing it! You need to be considerate! I’ll also be grading you by what your tree tells about you...This is not about power, but what is inside your heart!” Hikaru added.

*They started planting it in different directions with their teammates*

“I wish...” Akemi’s thought.

“I want...” Yukiro’s thought.

“I hope...” Kiel’s thought.

“...I want...” Lorraine’s thought.

“I wish...” Yuuki’s thought.

“I hope...” Aya’s thought.

“I...hope...” Kian’s thought.

“I can be stronger to protect those who are important to me!” Akemi thought.

*Akemi’s seed became a large beautiful autumn tree*

“To have enough power for this world’s sake” Yukiro thought.

*Yukiro’s seed became a large lavender tree*

“People will learn how to accept their own mistakes” Kiel thought.

*Kiel’s seed became a large silver tree*

“To become someone I want to be...” Lorraine thought.

*Lorraine’s seed became a large cherry blossom tree*

“To protect my family...” Yuuki thought.

*Yuuki’s seed became a large fire tree*

“I can protect this world...” Aya thought.

*Aya’s seed became a large crystal tree*

“I can protect the one I love...” Kian thought.

*Kian’s tree became a large crystal tree*

*Some of the students managed to grow tree but there are students who cannot*

“It seems that some of you have failed...As I look at your trees, you have different thoughts and goals which makes you who you are, some are good and some are bad...The students who managed to perfect this test are only 10” Hikaru said.
