"Class, submit your papers so you can have your lunch. But please arrange your chairs first so the next class who will take their test here wouldn't have to." Professor Yves, our Pantheons professor, announced as we were taking the final test for this subject before the semester end.

It's currently the final day of the semester and the final day for our tests. After my Pantheons class this morning, I would only have one final test. My Hellas I this afternoon would be my final subject, and after that, we'll have two weeks break and I plan to go back to our house with Heart for those times. The others also planned to go back to their home, but I'm not sure if Hide would go back since she's not saying anything about that.

It's been months since I last saw them, and I can't be more ecstatic to see them again. But something's bothering my mind since yesterday. Magic spikes are happening to me almost every week, and I'm afraid a magic spike would happen to me while I'm with the kids.

My magic also grew stronger for the past months, as well as Agnes who seem to grow stronger as my magic grows stronger. Our PE classmates told us the full story of what happened months ago at the gym. They said a woman, Agnes, came out and threw Fur to the wall and burning magical aura filled the room as our eyes turned into a different color.

They also said that they suddenly felt too much exhaustion after Fide's magic spike. I think that's an effect when someone who can read and control emotions have a magic spike. It's also the first time Fur introduced his clone ability to us. He never mentioned it until that PE class, and now he's been using it frequently to pull pranks inside the house.

I looked at my test paper that I just finished answering. The questions are mostly about gods of the pantheons of Asia, and I prepared myself for this so the test wasn't that hard for me.

"Enjoy the 2 weeks break, kids." Professor Yves said as we got out of the room. I decided to not take my lunch and just study at the library.

The paper made me remember about the scroll Isos and I found at the secret room of the house. I wouldn't even consider it as a secret room. It's just so random, and it had a different vibe that I don't consider it as part of the house. We ran around the area but it's just a whole space covered in darkness.

We tried going back to the secret room but it wasn't there anymore. It's the like room vanished the moment we found the scroll, and nothing can be more suspicious about that.

About the scroll, I don't know what it was written there. The words of Silva, the garden keeper, stayed on my mind and something inside me tells me that I should believe what he told me. That more people who read it, the more it becomes confusing. I tried to figure out what he meant, but I don't get it.

The naid Elder, Lluv, took Isos to her pond where she used the magical power of the pond to heal Isos. She said Isos' magic depleted after the encounter with the scroll. I asked her if she knew what was written on the scroll but she just smiled at me and changed the subject after that.

It's like they want us to figure out what was written there. That we should try to figure out the answers to the questions in our minds, the sole reason we tried to find an answer all over the place. And I think we found what we are looking for, whatever it is that is written inside the scroll, it's what we're looking for.

But Silva also said something that made me doubt the scroll. I thought he would say the answers are inside the scroll, but he said "Questions." Does that mean the content of the scroll would make us more confused, or is it questions that would lead to the answers all over again?
