Percy's Perspective
It's been a couple months since Nox joined our group and apologized. I was surprised, but understanding. He received therapy as well as coming to school, so he apparently is a lot like what he was before. I was really jealous when I heard him and Jack were ex's.

Today is when 20 year olds can get their Encoder. Encoders are items given/created to a person during the ceremony. Typically in Magic University, you are given your Hunting License and get a Weapon Encoder.
I was surprised when I heard that Jackson was 20 as a junior. Not only did he look older, he apparently skipped Freshman year. He's so smart!~

It's time for the ceremony.

     There were lots of colored lights covered in pillars of snowy ice

There were lots of colored lights covered in pillars of snowy ice. It was breathtaking. Apparently all the Encoder events are different and hosted by different people of each prominent Magic University.
I wonder who at our school planned this?
My friends all said that we were going to meet at a small ice castle to the right.

I loved how it was so cold here. I went in, and it was amazing! There was even fake ice furniture!
     I saw almost everyone, including Nox, all there with streamers and decorations. Why is it only them in here?
     "Hey guys!! Why are only you the only ones here?" I noticed that they were all wearing business formal clothing, I felt out of place and blushed slightly.
That's when Brittany suddenly had a violin and began playing along Caleb on a piano. Nox was at a sound board before Cinderella began singing 'All of Me' softly to them.

     Jackson walked up carefully, but with obvious intent. He grabbed my hand as we danced to the melody.

     It was amazing. After, Jack asked me out again.
     "I know I've asked you multiple times, and I know you've said no. But I just want you to know that I'm very serious about you." I was speechless, but he continued, "I have more secrets that I can tell you, and others that I don't feel yet to tell you. You hate secrets, but I would love if you said yes this time?"
     "Well... after all this... how could I ever say no!?"
     He and the others all cheered. Where's Lightning? And he picked me up and shook me around making me dizzy.
"Don't shake 'im too much or he won't be able to eat!!" I saw Lightning wearing waiters' clothing.
     You want me to be honest? He was looking fine!~"
     He brought out trays of delicious seafood, steak, and salad.
