After her mother's death, she's living with her Aunt and Uncles and the unauthorized nature of her assignments for the Academy comes to light. She's been given a new, fully authorized assignment of helping out some old friends. But now her life is about to come crashing down. When all the masks come off, all she can tell the Blackbourne team is "Welcome to the Masquerade". Fanfiction based on CL Stone's Academy books.

Five hundred years ago, human race was almost taken over by evil forces if it was not for the sudden appearance of ten individuals with immense power. They were able to banish them away. With the help of the Celestial and the Nine, the new twelve kingdoms built the Academy, a place to train gifted youth against the evil forces if needed. Five hundred years later, the Blackbourne-Toma team is assigned a mission to investigate strange happenings. When they discover something bigger than they thought, Dr. Roberts assigns them to travel into the Great Forest and find the Guide who will lead them to the Celestial. They are attacked and when they take refuge in the Great Forest, they find something they were not expecting. ***Slow updates*** 2021 Rankings #9 in reverseharem #32 in kota
