Chapter 19

"Good morning everyone. Thank you for coming with such abrupt notice but I have news that needs immediate attention." The girl stated as soon as every member of the student council is present including every representative of each grade and element.

"I know you already heard the news but I'm going to tell you a report once again." She paused as she observed the people inside the meeting room.

"A noble from Niforov family was killed and the body was found at a cave around the border of North Fire and East Earth. The boy is not from the main branch of the family but it was still a big news since the boy is still from the noble family." The girl and the currently president of the student council look at her vice president who sits as calmly as ever. Unlike the vice president the rest of the student council are having loud argument and discussion.

Seeing such un​sight​ly mess, the president release a part of her magical aura to stop and suppress the ongoing dialogue.

"Aside from the death of a fellow student and a noble, I was also made aware by the headmaster of a matter I need to discuss with you." Said matter was too much even for the girl who grew up learning politics and other related subjects and yet, this sudden situation stressed her out. "Aside from the yearly entrance exam of the Academy, the headmaster together with other professor decided that our Academy would carry out a wide spread scouting of additional students regardless of their status in the society."

If her earlier statement made the whole room into a noisy uproar, this time her statement made the whole room quite as the middle of an abbys.

—

56 days, almost two months, that's how long before the body was discovered but that is what exactly they have planned. Sort of.

"Autumn, it's too long don't you think?" Spring asked the other girl as they lounge at the Hwang's shop garden.

"We may have overdone it." The other girl answered cheekily. "But don't worry, the body is preserved and still not rotting as we speak but the many sigil we implanted have already lost their viability. Even our magic traces have long been erased from the scene." Autumn revealed a sinister smile on her face.

"They would probably thought that the boy was attacked last night instead of two months ago, not to mention he was behind three wanted criminal. Even if the nobles are to hide this fact, the people who investigated the scene would be suspicious and would think differently from the news reported and spread." The girl happily said to Spring.

"But guess what? The news also tell that the Academy would have a scouting throughout the whole country and would accept student regardless of status or money. Apparently it's also mandatory." Autumn suddenly look glum which is the total opposite of her previous mood.

"We have to take part of the test whether we like it or not." Spring guessed.

"Yes." The answer was brief which is very unlikely of Autumn.

"I asked father of ways to suppress our magic but he said that your earrings and my own newly made one can handle it." Autumn sighed as she bemoaned her current situation. Her own earlobes now have a small earrings but unlike the other girl, hers is more smaller and made of metal instead of a small jewel like Spring. Her own father tried to explain the difference but Autumn was just feeling unaccustomed to her own magic at the moment to care.

"I'm glad that both you and Snow are alright but apparently because of our little adventure I was also affected by the magic of the both of you while distressed. Now I feel like I just experienced a second awakening of sorts." The brown eyed girl snorts at the ridiculousness of her predicament.
