It's been a few weeks and the wizards have made massive improvements in their earth magic. Amazement, would be an understatement of how the headmaster felt about their skills. To be able to witness a new generation of Zodiacs flourish right before his eyes was indeed awesome.
During this time, the Zodiac got more comfortable with their situation. To them, it felt like they belonged in the Zodiac house all along and could not imagine being anywhere else.
They all got to know each other a whole lot better, but of course, there were a few secrets still left untold.
Taurus was alone in his room while the rest of the Zodiacs were chilling in their tower or doing who knows what. The brunet sighed in annoyance looking down at the piece of expensive paper on his desk. This was his fifth letter from his father this week.
After staring blankly at the words for quite a time, Taurus eventually crumpled up the paper and harshly threw it in his trash bin.
"Why the heck is the old man so persistent!" He angrily murmured to himself. "There's gotta be a way to get out of this marriage. Maybe I should fake my own death? No no, that's a dumb idea." Taurus then paused. "Wait, I should just tell him I have Zodiac business to attend to and I don't have time to settle down because I'll be busy going off on adventures and saving the day."
Taurus smacked his fist into the palm of his hand at the brilliant idea and grabbed a new piece of paper. Taurus got out his quill and dipped it into ink. With that, he started to jolt down his excuses to get out of his engagement. Once down, he folded it into an envelope and snapped his fingers, sending it to his father.
"Besides, I can tell that I'll do a horrible job at being the face of the kingdom, so this will be better off for the both of us. It's obvious that my sister wants the job anyways." He yawned and stretched his arms.
Taurus looked out his window and a weirdo with blonde hair engulfed his mind.
"And besides, I already gave my heart to someone."
With a huge smile, Taurus triumphantly dived into his bed, having a good feeling about all of this. But of course, he wasn't the best at guessing about these types of things. Little did he know, the least of his problems were only beginning.

Libra and Cancer walked down the castles spiraling stairs, conversing with one another.
"Do you know the date for the next game?" Libra asked.
"Next week Sunday because it's the mid point of this semester." Cancer answered as they made it to the library.
Just like the rest of the school, this library was beautiful and unique with a wonderful smell of crisp wood. There were more libraries located in the castle, but this one was the only one hallowed out in the middle with endless collections of books lined across from top to bottom. Including Cancer, most students in the library had a flying broomstick in their hands. Aside from air wizards, how would the rest of them even reach the other books if they didn't have their reliable brooms?
Located at the heart of the castle, it was always filled with many of wizards, so of course the two girls would encounter a familiar face. At the corner of her eyes, Cancer caught a mob of shiny golden hair. The purplenette nudged Libra with her elbow.
"Hey, isn't that Leo?" Cancer asks.
Taking a closer look, the two could see Leo and a female water wizard chatting and laughing with each other. Cancer felt her heart immediately drop once again, seeing the two being awfully close. She knew it was something she should be used to, but it's not like she can control her emotions.
