Northeast in the Greater Forest of Aiz

  Bianca and Valerus run towards the uproar that was caused in the north.

  STEP STEP STEP

  "I hear"

  SWOOSH SWISH

  "Water" Bianca calls out. "There should be a river or lake up ahead as well. It also seems that the most activity is."

  "Alright," I respond. Those elf ears do help her. I can stand but look at her while running long light green hair glistening in the wind, with a piece of it being a front piece of her hair being a light purple. "Why is that one strip of hair purple?" I ask her.

  Binaca scratches her head with her pointer finger as she makes a thought-provoking look with a smile "Uh well that's a long story"

  "Oh alright maybe another time no worries"

  "Oh, I can tell a quick summarized version right now. As you know am an elf. My family was very excited to know that I had very strong mana in the family my mother's hair is green while my father's is purple. I use this way to remind me that there rooting for me"

  "So your the only child?" I ask her.

  "Yes, so they were very pleased that I had a huge mana pool. Both my parents are Spellcaster Mages. My mother is a healing mage and my father is a rock mage. So you can possibly see why am good with the earth"

  "Ah I see"

  "Plus there aren't that many elves that live in Aiz so for me coming to this school was a big deal. Well, my parents thought."

  "But?"

  "Eriko, Ezekiel, and you had everyone's attention" "Really?" "Yeah, so I guess I can thank you guys for that. Of course, there is some talk about me being at the school but it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. That is most likely the reason Albeck, Jericho, and Rose felt like their talents were being undervalued. For myself, I went under the radar so I'll use this as a proving ground for myself. "

  The two of us continue to advance off the north side moving giant tree branches and tree trunks that are in our way.

  "Do you intend to win the whole Magus Exam?" I ask.

  "No, I wanna at least make it to the next round and at least be a substitute am fine with that, although it would be nice to win and be called the first elf to win the Magus Exam. Who knows dont wanna dream too big" Bianca says as she shrugs her shoulders.

  "Hey if you belive that you can do it give it a try" I tell her.

  She then gives a warm smile "Thank you Valerus"

  BADUMP "Ah there it goes again," I said to myself.

  Bianca looks at me as she tilts her head "Are you okay your heart is beginning to-"

  "AHH its just all this running through this giant forest and falling out of the sky moments ago"

  "Ok" She then focuses her attention up ahead closing her eyes and honing in on the sounds. "The river is near but am detecting motion up ahead"

  "Alright" I extended my hand to draw but I remembered where I was in a forest. Using my scythe would be inefficient in the majority of the fights here since everyone is so close corned. My best bet would be.

  SHEATH

  "My blade. I gotta stay focused and not lose control like last time. Breathe"

  Running with my blade's hilt with my right hand I focus and calm down.

  "There a couple of yards away from us on the right side be careful. Here let me assist you" While running Bianca pushes her hands out as the two mages pop up into the air not knowing what just hit them.

  "Sorry guys no hard feelings"I knock them out with the dull side of my blade and take their rings.

  "There's 4 rings for us."

  "Yup"

  Bianca then has an expression as if she wants to ask me something. "Bianca what is it" I ask.

  "Well, it. You dont get bothered by people calling you an irregular" "Eh not really I felt like I heard and been through worse" My memory flashes again as I think back to my old life.

  "But that's past me. "Okay," Bianca says. "How well do you think we're doing?" We both look over at the sphere floating above us.

  [20 Minutes 40 duos]

  "10 minutes already? " I ask. Bianca says. "The travel to this side of the map must have been something but it feels like we were there for at least 5 minutes we were running and talking too. Strange" She speaks aloud.

  "Your right. but it should be fine the other teams must be on the move" I counted with my fingers "We took out one team that 41 That means the 9 others were eliminated as someone must be leading"

  "If I had to take a guess it's the team that was making a lot of noise" Bianca points out.

  Suddenly the birds and the animals start to move in the opposite direction.

  "What happened?"

  "Give me a second" Bianca puts her hands to her tempos and closes her eyes as her ears shrug and eyes begin to move while closed. "Am detecting a large presence following two right behind us."

  "It's coming from behind?"

  "Yes, judging from the shape of the thing its Spider?" "Wait come again. A spider" "Yes all three in coming in towards our direction"

  Suddenly we hear the screams of two girls.

  "HEEEEEEEEEEELPPPPPPPPP"

  "WERE SOME SCREWEEED"

  The figures then begin to take shape as they come closer. Two girls with Purple and White Hair "Wait a minute arent they with Rose?" I ask. Your right.

  CRASH CRASH

  "Woah woah. Thats one big spider" I say aloud. "They look like they need help"

  "Alright let's assist them."

  The both of us charge towards the giant spider.

  "Wha. What happened? The last thing I remember is falling out of the sky. Slapping that knight guy and getting saved by"

  "Your awake" a male voice calls out.

  Sunneta turns to her left and sees another student in the Aurora Saint Academy uniform with a black and gold color scheme but a hood attached to his coat. Sitting waiting for her too get up.

  "You your" Sunneta calls out.

  "The person who saved your life. And guide us to victory. But you must follow my plan"

  "O-ok" Suneeta responds as.

  The young male removes his hood "Am Jonathan Fultear the Mage who will win this exam" with pushed slicked back medium-length black hair, 2 hoop earrings on each ear, brown eyes, and the standard Aurora Saint Academy uniform but attached with a hood.

  ---

  The southern part of the Greater Forest of Aiz

  Suneeta stares at the boy who just revealed himself to her. She looks at him from head to toe. "He's kinda handsome not that bad at all."

  After removing the hood Jonathan adjusts it a begins to speak"Alright the plan is that we going to lay low and not draw any attention to ourselves and-" a slight pause to make sure one was listening. He waves his hands in front of Suneeta who stares at his face. "Hey were u listening to what I just said" Jonathan asks in her serious tone of voice.

  Suneeta shakes her head as if she were in a trance "Oh uh yeah something about laying low. Yeah, I got it."

  "Yeah, that's it. The key to this plan is to watch the time" as he points to the sphere above them.

  [30 minutes 50 duos]

  Boom Boom

  "Explosions but they sounded pretty far away" Suneeta remarks.

  "Yeah"

  Issac's message gets relayed as care packages appear.

  [30 minutes 49 duos]

  "One less duo to worry about," Jonathan remarks. "Yeah," Suneeta agrees. "Hey, why haven't I seen you around the academy before? Whose Homeroom are you in?"

  With his hands in his pockets "Well all my life I stayed low and in the background the whole time. I let everyone else take the main character position but after seeing the Twelve Stars, and the other students. It made me realize how much of my talents am wasting just sitting in the back"

  "Oh"

  "My homeroom is A1 with Albeck Reigns and Jericho Pearson"

  "I see I haven't really seen or heard your name before until the partners for this part of the exam got chosen"

  "Speaking of the exam what happened during the test moments ago?" Jonathan asks calmly. Sunneta looks in confusion "W-what do you mean?"

  "Ah your face looks in confusion and you stuttering while you speak. I saw some students feeling uneasy during the test-taking portion. I wondered if it was because we were in the air and elevation. Then I soon realized it was a mage's ability"

  Suneeta's expression grew of guilt.

  "It's as off someone was trying to sabotage the whole class"

  "Y-yeah who would do such-"

  "I know it was you girls" Jonathan's tone changes to a much more serious one. "doing that to mess up your classmates is not fair. So I had to return to favor back to you guys"

  "So that's what happened to Lily's ability," Suneeta thinks to herself as the situation there turns into an interrogation of some sort.

  Jonathan steps closer and closer to Suneeta as she braces for the worst. As closes her eyes and awaits her punishment the footsteps then stop.

  "What are you doing?" he asks. "Y-your going to punish me right?" "What where did you get that idea? Jonathan says with an off-put expression. "Well the tone of your voice and the way you approached me seemed like it"

  Jonathan then gets up close to Suneeta's face "If I had done that we both would've been eliminated remember what the rules just stated The designated partner may only be replaced if an opponent team's attack prevents one partner from competing. That is to say, you cannot attack your partner or else you would also be eliminated."

  "Right so what ARE you going to do to me"

  "Nothing just follow my orders and just stay hidden and wait for the numbers to go down"

  "Alright," Suneeta agrees "but I have to rendezvous with Rose and the others. I wonder how they're doing right now?"

  --------------------------------

  South West The Fog of Eternal Memories

  "Rose?" Eriko speaks to herself as she watches the caretaker take her into the home. She then watches the door close and takes a few steps back there's a sign "Orphanage" Eriko says.

  Suddenly the raindrops stop and a bright flash of light blinds her. "Argh" the light then subdues.

  When she opens them she's greeted by the sun and a giant flower garden. Eriko then looks around "It reminds me of the flower bed at our home," she thought to herself. "But this one had a more variety of different types of flowers"

  GIGGLE

  She looks to her far right.

  5 girls gather around a bed of flowers. Each of them had a distinct hair color. White, Purple, Yellow, Pink, and Rose gold.

  "Wow look at this one it's a nice color and cool shape like a bell"

  "No, this one is better it's bright and looks like the sun"

  "A calm and simple color white"

  "Oh you guys watch out you might get dirt on yourselves"

  "You already got dirt on you Azalea"

  HAHA

  "I like this one the Rose"

  The girls stop to look at her.

  "Well of course that's your name. Who wouldn't like to be named after one of the most famous flowers?"

  "You right arent we all named after flowers"

  "Well except for Sueneta here. Why couldn't your name just be sun like the flower"

  HAHA

  "Girls" a woman's voice calls out. Eriko looks at the young woman and tries to see if she recognizes her "Is this their mother?" A beautiful young lady with a nice complexion, brown eyes, brown long hair, with a loving motherly smile"

  "Sunneta, Bella, Lily, Azalea, Rose cmon it's time for lunch girls"

  "Okay Mother Iris," the girls say in unison as they head towards her.

  Eriko stands as the girls shoot right through her as if she were air. "So these are her memories,"

  "Oh look at you girls you got some dirt on your clothes. Clean them early please"

  As they laugh and smile together.

  "They looked happy with one another I wonder what happened"

  The bright flash of light blinds her again. Eriko blocks it with her arm as it subsides again.

  In a new setting With a church bell at the top, a stained glass painting in the back over the church, with many rows of benches. Stained Glass Painting I realized it was very vibrant with multiple colors, red, green, blue, black, purple, white, yellow, basically all the primary colors. With a chalice on a podium.

  "This is the Chalice of Paths," Eriko says.

  The 5 girls go up one by one.

  Azalea goes first as she's nervous to go. She then gets pushed on and encouraged by the other girls. She goes and the Chalice glows blue "Spellcaster" the priest says.

  It continues. Lily goes next to "Purple Dyad Mage." Bella goes "Blue Spellcaster". Sunneta steps up "Purple Dyad" and last to go was Rose "Purple Dyad"

  "WOW am proud of you girls I know you 'll grow up to be fine mages," Mother Iris says.

  Eriko watches "So they are all pretty talented"

  Once again that bright light flashes as the new part of the memory unlocks.

  A sunny day.

  CHIME CHIME DING DONG

  "Back in the flower field"

  HAAA

  "Woah" Eriko gets surprised as Rose and Sunneta begin practicing their abilities as they go right through here. "Rose fights with purpose with her chain whip while Sunneta dodges her attacks"

  "Cmon Rose try and hit me"

  "Alright"

  Eriko then looks in the other direction.

  An apple is placed as Bella Lily and Azalea stand near each other.

  DING DONG DING DONG

  SLICE

  "Ouch," Lily says as she holds her hand from a small cut she received from Bellas attack. "You have to find a way to make that thing stop hitting me and focus on certain targets besides your allies. Azalea."

  "Oh yeah right"

  Azalea heals Lily's wounds.

  "All right Bella we gotta nail this down"

  "Be careful girls not to hurt yourselves" Mother Iris calls out.

  "No worries Mother we have it under-"

  STAB

  "Agh. Rose you cut me !" Sunneta cries out.

  "Healer healer" Rose calls.

  "Oh no on my way" Azalea runs to the other side of the flower garden.

  "You did tell me to catch you and I did. Now I know what happens when I hit you in the same spot twice"

  "I guess. Now my turn to be on offense"

  "All right," Rose says.

  "You girls worry me sometimes"

  "Dont worry Mother Iris we'll be fine as we're together" Rose reassures her.

  "Haha," Eriko laughs to herself. "They are training their abilities. Am guessing they manifested their abilities since they were so connected to flowers at a young age."

  The bright light of new memories shines again. "Again I wanted to see Sunneta and Rose still"

  At night. A house in flames.

  "What what is this?" Eriko then examines the situation.

  "No Mother Iris!" a voice yells out.

  "Are you girls ok?"

  The 5 of them nod together as their clothes ruffled up and covered in ash from the smoke. She was trapped under a giant piece of the house with her below her waist crushed.

  Azalea attempts to heal her.

  "Azalea come on you have to get her up," Bella says as they all attempt to lift this piece of the house.

  "Girls"

  "No, we have to try" Lily Sunneta Rose and Bella tried to lift the piece as Azalea attempted to heal her.

  "Girls!"

  The girls stopped what they were doing.

  "That was one of the few times I had to yell at you" COUGH COUGH Blood comes out.

  "Mother you have to"

  "Azalea thank you. Girls, it's ok. The last thing I want to see is any of you get hurt"

  SOB SOB

  The five girls cry and sob.

  "I love you girls. Stay together and protect one another. Rose look after them please"

  CRACK CRACK

  "Hurry get out of her before the house collapses"

  The house collapses with Lady Iris trapped inside.

  The girls sob and weep on the street.

  Eriko looks on with shock a sadness.

  Running footsteps can be heard in the distance.

  "Headcaptain he got away. A house got burned down in the process" A male voice says wearing a black coat.

  "A Captain of the federation?" Eriko says.

  STEP STEP STEP

  "Girls are you alright," a familiar voice says.

  "That voice" Eriko looks at the man "Father?"

  "Am sorry Vincent I couldn't get Markos, killer"

  "It's fine first report to Captain Honorson about the girls and bring them"

  "Wait this night is the same night Sir Marko was murdered?"
