Marina: No, no, this is really important to know. Thank you for the information. And yes, I do agree I need physical training, but I admit I am horrible at it.

Xaizor: You do know healing as well, right? I mean, you've been studying White Magic as well, don't you?

Marina: Technically I do, but not all spells yet. I have not reached the higher levels yet.

Auror: About the healing magic, it exists.

Kaito: Oh yeah, the Intermezzo family! You guys are Ancestor Mages too, right?

Masaru: And who's the healer?

Veronica: It's me.

Auror: The Intermezzo family's specialty is in Water magic. Veronica here is the sole heir of it. However, unlike the predecessors, her magic is completely focused on healing, so she can't attack at all. She does have some defensive magic, but we don't train her for stuff like fighting nor do we plan on doing that.

Veronica: Which is completely unfair! I can do well on fighting, thank you very much!

Xaizor: Wait, sole heir? But aren't you two brothers?

Auror: I'm adopted. I don't wield the same style.

Marina: And what elements do you use?
Auror: Hybrid between Wind and Ice.

Marina: Interesting... Lucent, what about you?

Lucent's Theme: Pandemic

This was something Lucent wanted to avoid being questioned. Everything was moving way too fast. The fact he was alongside people again was already something that scared him.


Lucent: ... I'm not an Ancestor Mage.

Xaizor: But you have a power, don't you? I kinda feel an aura from you.

Lucent: ... I don't want to talk about it...

Xaizor: Hey, c'mon now. What's the matter about your power?
Lucent: Please, stop...

Kaito: H-Hey, let's change the subject...

Auror: He's not telling us to stop.

Veronica: Mister Lucent...?

Auror: You don't have to say anything if you don't want to.

Lucent already began to look away. Kaito and Masaru were getting nervous about the situation, since they both knew about how he was uncomfortable with the situation. However, worried about his well being, Marina insisted.


Marina: I hate to do this but it is for the best. Mister Lucent, is your power the reason why you are so distant?

Kaito and Lucent: !!

Marina: I do not wish to jump to any assumptions, but just by seeing you... do you... fear your own power...?

Lucent: ...

Veronica: Mister Lucent, we're just trying to help you. Everyone's worried about you.

Xaizor: Lucent, do what's right for you.

He wanted to get up and run. But at the same time, his judgement could be done right there, right now. If they all knew about how horrific his power was and how it already killed someone, he would either be left alone forever or be finished by the hands of someone. This would mean he'd release Kaito and Reeta from a burden that was himself. He took the second option.


Lucent: ... I... give up. I'll tell everything.

Kaito: ...

Marina: (Mister Kaito...?)

Lucent: ... I am a half-demon. I control the darkness and with it, I can induce nightmares and traumas to people. That's the cursed power I wield.

Xaizor: The power to induce nightmares... that's something nasty to imagine...

Lucent looked at the people who resided in this world.


Lucent: ... Do you know about the "Childhood's Breeze Mystery Death"?

Auror: I do. It's the incident that took place at the school who stood before ours. What of it?

Lucent: That unnamed witness... it was me.

Auror: Really?! What happened then?! Who did it-

Auror reminded himself of the fact that only this unnamed witness and the kid stood in the same place. If it wasn't a suicide, then his power was responsible behind this.


Auror: Lucent... don't tell me... you-

Lucent: I never wanted to, I swear! I... I didn't knew about my power, I was scared, he was... going to lock me all alone...!

Kaito: Lucent!
Lucent: I was... beaten up... and he said I was worthless and... I would be locked all night... at the school...!!

Veronica: I-I'm not getting anything out of this, but Mister Lucent seems really unstable!

Auror: (He drowned his fellow classmate into a nightmare and this ended becoming reality... Lucent's power is really horrible, just as he believes it to be. But I don't blame him... after all, he was also just a kid... and a victim.)

Auror: (I do remember hearing back at middle school. There were those bullying scum that targeted a specific kid at one class. With all of this, now I know who the target was...)

Auror: (Now I see why Kaito and Reeta were so worried about him. He's emotionally unstable and ready to try against his own life if it's necessary... wait... try against his own life...!!)

Auror understood the meaning of why Lucent opened his mouth and told what he desperately hid for years. It was something that left the blue-haired assassin to actually pray that no one would jump to any sort of conclusion, just so Lucent could have his way on this.


Auror: (Lucent, you did this just so one of us could... oh drat, if someone jumps to any sort of stupid conclusion, he'll get what he wants!)

Lucent nodded. Once he did, Marina took out her book and opened it once again.


Auror: Are you sure about this, Marina?

BGM: The Peaceful Hometown (Tales of Zestiria)


Marina: Yes, I am. I trust in them too, Auror.

Veronica: Hmm? What are you talking about?

Marina: Remember how you asked me yesterday about my homeland? I shall explain about it, in the same method I did with Miss Rayla, Mister Ted and Mister Auror.

Veronica: Ooooooh!! OK, I'm all ears!

Xaizor: You guys must keep it a secret as well. With that said...

Marina: Allow me to begin then.

Marina did the same explanation, since she wasn't against telling the others just as she told Rayla, Ted and Auror. Xaizor helped her by explaining how their conditions, while unknown, had something to do with this world.


Xaizor: ... And that's pretty much the gist of it.

Veronica: Oh my god... I have a real prince and princess as friends...!!

Masaru: People from other world... that's... unbelievable...

Kaito: Then, the fact that you both came from the fountain wasn't a magic trick?! It was something like-

Lucent: ... Teleporting...

Marina: We had planned to keep this a secret from all costs, but... to be honest, as residents of this world and our first friends here, you have the right to know about us.

Xaizor: Though we would like if you don't treat us as royalty. Like I said to those three, we're just normal people here, not nobles.

Auror: It's a pretty interesting story, if you'd ask me.

Masaru: I'm... actually still speechless about it. But I'd like to thank you for coming here and decide to help us out of the blue like this.

Xaizor: Dude, I was waiting for this chance my whole life. After all, I have a task of my own to fulfill.

Lucent: A task...?

Xaizor nodded, proud. He was the one who has been most excited for all of this and he began to tell them the reason why.


Xaizor: In our world, there's a legendary weapon which we call Felm Gloria. It's a dual spear, one of light and one of darkness. It's said that this weapon is the one who was wield by Lacrima's First Gods and was used to create it all.

Kaito: Whoa, really?! Nice! That seems really awesome!

Xaizor: Man, you haven't seen it in action yet! My father is the current wielder of Felm Gloria and he's so damn powerful! No one has ever beaten Dad, not even me!

Auror: So your own wish is to inherit this legendary weapon... but for what exact purpose? Just to wield it?

Xaizor: No, not just that! I want to be just like Dad, strong to defend the people and to save everyone whenever they need it! And I'm sure I'll be able to do that if I inherit Felm Gloria from him!

Masaru: But are you able to use spears like he does?

Xaizor: Well... not yet. I've been using a katana for now, but I'm sure I'll be good with spears soon enough!

Lucent: (So Xaizor is a maniac for strength... I can see that he's pretty reckless just by the way he talks about this weapon... but it does seem like he has a noble goal.)

Veronica: And you, Marina? What do you aim for in this expedition?

Marina looked a little down. She had put this whole strong princess image, when in reality she never wished to come.


Marina: To be honest... I was against this expedition. I am here, I have said I want to aid you, but truth be told, I would have never come here on my own.

Kaito: Oh? Why?

Marina: Back at home, I am a member of the Royal Parliament of Magical Studies. Even though it may seem like focused on magic, we study the proportions and characteristics of any manifestation of power. That includes aura, psychic, mutation...

Auror: Oh, that's interesting. So basically, you study how power can exist and how it can be acquired.

Marina: That is the basic about it. The Parliament trains people to know how to wield, control and adapt to the power of their choice. I focus my studying on elemental magic.

Masaru: That sounds difficult... what sorts of element have you been mastering right now?

Marina: The elements we use are Fire, Water, Wind, Thunder, Light and Darkness. Though I have been only able to use three of them being Water, Wind and Light.

Marina: My aim is to fully become a sage and master the elements of magic, so that I can help people who wish to use it, but fear to lose control of it.

Lucent: (On the meanwhile, Marina seeks wisdom before strength. That's why exerting physical strength is something she wants to avoid. Noble, but it somewhat looks like she's running...)

Auror: Yet you're going to fight Melanie today. Heh, you sure went a lot of degrees away from your path.

Marina: I know I did it, but it is for a good cause.

Once she did it, Marina realized that she and Xaizor extended the whole conversation towards them.


Marina: Oh no, we have been talking about me and Xaizor for a long while. I am so sorry...

Time has passed and lunchtime arrived at last. They reunited at the rooftop once again. It was like their usual point. While eating, Veronica rose a question.


Veronica: I don't want to be repetitive, but can't you please back off from this?

Marina: I am sorry, Veronica, but that I cannot do. I know you are worried but I will be fine.

Masaru: I don't know... I heard Melanie is strong herself. Makes it out why she's called the Queen-

Auror: She's called as Queen because of connections. Seems like she has ties with someone from the government. People say she's niece of the mayor and she uses her status to gain those extra points.

Masaru: Really? So that's why then...

Xaizor: I know she's going down for sure. Marina's dethroning her for good.

Marina: X-Xaizor, do not speak of me as if I was you!

Xaizor: If it was me, I'd put her down at that instant.

Marina: Hmph. As the savage tribesman you are, I can imagine.

Kaito: I'll be cheering for you, Marina! I know you can do it!

Auror: Literally the entire school is rooting for her. Wherever you go, it's always gossip and speculation.

Marina: I can see that she is a pretty bad person if people are rooting for me that much.

Auror: Trust me, once you take her down, the school will go nuts. Melanie looks down on everyone, even on me, Veronica and Ted. She thinks of herself as the top tier of the school.

Masaru: And yet she's not even close to be liked. Everyone intensely disliskes her.

Kaito: Talk about intense. Some people are even betting for this...

While they were chatting, Lucent's silence bothered Xaizor a little.


Xaizor: Hey Lucent, say something.

Lucent: ... Something...?

Xaizor: You don't have to be that blunt, stupid. Just jump in the conversation.

Lucent: I... don't have anything to say, actually.

Marina: Xaizor, please stop making him uncomfortable about it.
Lucent: Wait... I have a question.

Kaito: Oh? You're going to start a conversation then! Good guy! *pats Lucent on the head*

Masaru: Kaito, he's not a dog. Stop that.

Kaito: What? Jealous because you can't?
Masaru: S-Shut it. Now apologize to Lucent.

Lucent: It's... fine. More importantly...

Lucent looked at Rayla but then turned his face away while speaking. Looking at her seemed dangerous and it could give the wrong impression.


Lucent: Um... what were you... talking about in the morning?

Resolves UNITED under one SKY - Kael Taiyou X Magus Dream

Location: Fleeting Memories School - Rooftop


Marina: As much as I would never imagine myself saying this... I shall not disappoint, Miss Rayla.

Auror: Well, let's head back. Class is going to start soon-

Auror: Oh, now it struck me.

Xaizor: What?

Auror: The secret. The others. What are we going to do about it?

Xaizor: I don't see a problem. I spit the beans after all, so it's fair to let them know.

Marina: I also am not against telling them. We are friends, so they should know. I trust that they will be able to keep it a secret.

Auror: If you guys say so. Let's get going then.

Location: Fleeting Memories School - First Year Classroom A

The entire school flooded with the duel between Marina and Melanie. At her class, she quickly became the talk of the students.

Girl #1: Did you saw it? It seems the newcomer is going to fight the Queen herself!
Girl #2: She's very crazy, but I really hope that Melanie loses. I hate that girl to my gut's end.
Girl #1: We need to film it! I'll come late at home, but I really need to see Melanie's face once she loses!

On her seat, Veronica was actually worried about Marina. She didn't want this fight to happen.


Veronica: Marina... why haven't you said no to her?

Location: Fleeting Memories School - Second Year Classroom C

It was no different on the second years. Everyone was talking about the duel.

Boy #1: So, who do you guys think it's going to win?
Girl #1: It's definitely Melanie. No one messes with her.
Boy #2: I dunno, the new girl sounded pretty confident when she took the challenge coming from Melanie.

Lucent was not paying attention, reading a book to distract from all of those idle banters.


Lucent: (All they talk it's about this stupid fight. At least I'm not the center of attentions anymore... though I hope Marina wins, I guess...)

Location: Fleeting Memories School - Third Year Classroom B

The comments also spread around the third years.


Masaru: I can't believe I didn't stop them. *sigh*

Kaito: Hey, don't worry about it. Marina's definitely winning this.

Masaru: How can you be so sure?

Kaito: It's a hunch.

Masaru: Kaito, you're depositing your hopes on a hunch?

Kaito: It's not the end of the world. If she loses, it's just a loss. If she wins, it's just a win.

Masaru: Many students are actually rooting for Marina... but I don't think Melanie's weak...

Kaito: We'll see that once the fight happens. On the meanwhile, let's just wait.

Masaru: Ayame's going to have a field trip with this...

The memories of the invasion surely were horrible to all of them. Marina could feel their pain, although she had no idea on what to say.


Auror: Rayla...

Marina: I... I cannot say for sure, Miss Rayla. Father sent us here without telling what our mission is, so-
Xaizor: We're on this.

BGM: Para, ite! (Puella Magi Madoka Magica Portable)

Xaizor appeared from behind the door, walking towards them.


Marina: X-Xaizor?! Did you just follow me?!

Xaizor: We may discuss a lot, but we're family, you dolt. I was worried about you, so I've followed you.

Marina smiled as he looked at Rayla, Ted and Auror. Xaizor was determined to aid them. It was a way for him to prove his worth.


Xaizor: Dad didn't told us what we're supposed to do in this expedition, but I'm certain that it has something to do with those monsters. If this town isn't safe, it's not just because of some thugs or what not.

Xaizor: I swear that I'll get to the bottom of this. Just like Dad did in the past, it's our turn to save the worlds, Marina.

Marina: You are right. I will do as well. I do not wish to see any world falling into ruination. While the truth behind our expedition is still unknown, this shall become our part into this. We will not let the deaths of the people be in vain.

They nodded at each other and nodded firmly at them. Auror gave a small laugh and returned to smile.


Auror: Heh, you two do sound like a prince and princess now.

Marina: Auror...?

Auror: If they're inclined to believe in you, I'm going to believe in you two as well. You came here with proof enough that you two aren't simpletons.

Xaizor: You shouldn't take my sister that lightly, you know.

Auror: ... I may not have all the time in the world, but I'll help in the way I can. That is, if you two permit me.

Marina: O-Of course! We know nothing about this world, after all. We will need all aid.

Auror: Got it, Your Highness.

Xaizor: Hey, don't start treating us so differently because of our status in another world. We're not superior to you here.

Marina: I would prefer to not be treated as a princess as well. It would be unfair.

Auror: If you guys say so. What about you two?

Xaizor: We won't force you guys into this. It's your city, but you have your own lives.

Marina nodded as Rayla whispered in her ear. She had no choice anymore. By that time, Melanie already went inside alongside many other students.


Xaizor: Marina... did they...

Marina: ... Xaizor, I will go alone.

Xaizor: My bad. Guess my sincerity got us.

Marina: I had really not expected for our identities to remain in shadows much longer.

Auror: I'm going too, Marina.

Xaizor: Huh?

Auror: I have a... certain obligation. Thanks to it, I need to hear what you're going to say. I won't take a no for an answer.

Marina: If you say so. Let us go, we do not wish to keep them waiting.

Marina and Auror went inside as the rest kept wondering about what they could possibly want to talk about.


Lucent: I wonder...

Kaito: Well, let's go to our classes. Whatever they need to talk, it's their talk.

Masaru: I guess so. Though I'm really curious...

Veronica: I hope everything ends well...

Xaizor: (Marina...)

Location: Fleeting School Memories - Rooftop

Just as Rayla indicated, Marina and Auror reached the rooftop, where Rayla and Ted were waiting. Auror leaned on the bars as he looked at her.


Marina: I have come as you requested. So, what do you wish to know?

Auror: Your brother said about your home... "The Kingdom of Arcadia", was it? I guess that, from our faces, we're not inclined to believe in you, since this place doesn't exist anywhere.

Auror: Since I think Xaizor's not the best person for explaining this, it leaves you to explain it.

BGM: Gateway Galaxy -Main- (Super Mario Galaxy)


Marina: My brother... was not lying.

Auror: Hmm? So you'll lie as well?

Marina: There is an explanation for this. The Kingdom of Arcadia does not exist in this world.

Marina took from a book from her bagpack and placed it open between them. She extended her hand as the book's pages began to flip on their own. Soon, a holographic-like image appeared, showing the Kingdom of Lacrima.


Auror: What?!

Marina: Our kingdom exists in a space separate from this world's. It is the reason why you have not been able to find information about it through research. Your books and other systems to search for any sort of information about my home will never be able to find anything.

Auror: (What sort of ability is she using?! This definitely is not normal...!)

Marina: Also, just for an correction. My brother has mistaken the name. It is not The Kingdom of Arcadia and yes The Kingdom of Lacrima. Our father, King Lumino Arcadia, created this land on his own in order to save people from other worlds in danger.

Marina: As for me, allow me to present myself once again. I am Princess Marina Arcadia, from the Kingdom of Lacrima. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

Auror: Princess?

Marina: Yes. As proof of it...


From her bag, Marina took a circlet. It was her proof as member of the Royal Family of Lacrima.


Marina: This is my circlet. The one I use on ceremonies at our home.

Auror: ...

Marina: I know all of this may sound like a fantasy I am making to hide more secrets. However, I have no reason to lie. Our kingdom exists... not in this wold, but it does. I am its princess and Xaizor is its prince.

Marina: Even so, I will defer to your judgement. If you do wish to seek me as a liar, I will not blame you. I also believe that my explanation may not suffice all of your doubts.

Location: Fleeting Memories School - Entrance Gate

Once they were reunited, the gates began to open slowly. Auror and Veronica looked up and saw a car coming. They instantly knew who it was and already shown they weren't content with it.


Auror: *sigh* Here comes trouble...

Lucent: That car...

Veronica: Yes... the Queen is arriving...

BGM: Poster Girl's Prank

An exaggerated limousine came down the streets. It was bigger than the Intermezzo one. Once it stopped, a butler opened a door and a frivolous girl came out. She was known to be that kind of rich student who looked down on everyone.


Cinderella of Material Ideologies
Melanie C. Maestra

As if she was a model, she walked elegantly, but giving condescending eyes to all. Melanie went towards Auror, Veronica and the rest of the group.


Melanie: So you two are still walking with plebians, even though you are nobles? I'm always surprised how you'd put your feet down like this.

Veronica: ... Good morning to you too, Melanie.

Melanie: Auror, where's my good morning?

Auror: Oh, you said something? I was listening to the winds. They sound nicer than your voice.

Melanie: Hmph! Rude idiot.

Melanie threw her hair and turned to go to the gates. When she looked at it, her gaze met with Xaizor and Marina, whom she never saw before.


Melanie: Hmm? I haven't seen you before. I do ignore the lower class, but you do seem new to me.

Masaru: They... actually are, Melanie. Marina is a first-year like you and Xaizor is a third-year.

She pushed Masaru away as she stared directly into Xaizor's eyes. He got extremely uncomfortable as she began to speak.


Melanie: Hmm... Xaizor, is it? You are... cute. I'd give you a 7/10.

Xaizor: W-What?! C-C-Cute?!

Melanie: Ohoho! Getting flustered now? My, my. I'll raise it to an 8/10. Congratulations.

After a little laugh, she turned to look at Marina.


Melanie: But you girl...

Marina: Y-Yes? How can I help-

Melanie: Help? I don't need your help. Also, what is this dress? Have you come from a farm alongside those other brutes, except the Intermezzo? And your makeup? Gods, not even a miracle can save you!

Veronica: Melanie, stop it! Leave Marina alone!

Melanie: Veronica, I am just stating the truth. You're so dominated by those lowlifes that you can't even-

Marina: And who are you to judge me?

The students all stopped chatting and looked at Marina. No one talked back to Melanie, more to not give her a rebuttal or to hear even more condescending words from her.


Melanie: What have you just said, girl?

Marina: Honestly, I have met my share of ignorant nobles, but at least they had some decency and held their tongues whenever we were speaking.

Melanie: Do you know with who are you talking to?

Marina: I am. With a fellow student who does not look herself at a mirror before judging the rest.

Melanie: I'm not just any fellow student! I'm a noble! A plebian like you should offer more respect towards me!

Marina: Respect is earned, not offered. If you have no intentions of having respect towards me or my friends, do not expect me to give you what you dearly wish.

Melanie: ... If I were you, I'd stop right now. I can ruin your life if I merely wish to!

Marina: Your baseless intimidations are not going to drive me to fear. I will not stand quiet as you freely speaks your spite.

Angry at how Marina argued back, Melanie took a white glove out of her dress' pocket and threw it at Marina's face. It was a challenge signal, in the way of nobility.


Melanie: At the end of the classes. In the exit. I will throw you in the ground you deserve.

Veronica: W-Wait, there's no need for this-

Marina: ... Very well.

Auror: You should have said no, idiot!

Masaru: I really don't like this... Marina, you should back off.

Xaizor: Marina, you're the one who said we shouldn't cause problems. You're not being a good example!

Marina: I know what I have said. However, I am not doing this for my honor. I am doing this because she insulted you all.

Kaito: Marina...

Marina: Besides, this was not just a simple warning. When white gloves are thrown, it is a declaration of a duel. If I refuse it, it means submission to her insults and my cowardice.

Auror: ... It also means no one should get in their way. If, for example, Veronica were to enter in the middle of it, it'd be automatically Marina's loss.

Veronica: No... Marina...

Marina: It is all right. I also have a specific request.

Marina looked directly at Rayla, who had warned her earlier about causing troubles. She had no intention of disobeying her advice, but she was in no condition nor will to refuse this.


Marina: Miss Rayla, I know you are against this. You can scold me in a later time, but could you please leave this to me?

BGM: Beautiful Days (Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc)

Xaizor, Marina, Auror and Veronica soon reached the school gates, closed as they have expected. Some students were already there, waiting.


Auror: And here we are! School!

Veronica: Another day begins! Hehe, I can't wait!

Xaizor: How excited are you two for school?

Marina: You are the only one of us here who is actually against this, alongside having the worst grades.

Xaizor: Quiet, you.

Soon, from another way came Kaito, Lucent and Masaru altogether.


Kaito: Good morning, guys!

Auror: Oh, it's Kaito, Masaru and Lucent!

Veronica: Good and pretty morning, you three!

Lucent: ...

Masaru: Good morning to you four. And you must be Xaizor's little sister?

Marina: Ah yes, that is me.

Masaru: It's a pleasure to meet you. If you need anything, just ask.

Veronica: Mister Masaru here is also a member of the student council and one of the most popular boys in school. All girls desire him that badly!

Auror: Be careful so he won't steal your heart, Marina. The time taken for him to leave you breathless is-

Marina: I appreciate the warning, but I am not interested into romance with anyone.

Auror: D'oh, you were shot out pretty badly, Masaru! Guess it's going to take a while until you finally conquer Marina's love~

Masaru: And who said I was trying to do it, Auror?

Auror: Hehehe! That happens naturally, so I was just warning her beforehand.

Veronica skipped towards Lucent who, as usual, stepped back. Knowing he wasn't liking to be that close, she stopped, but still gave him a radiant smile.


Veronica: Mister Lucent, I'm so happy that you came today! I hope that you're fine in this new morning!

Lucent: ...! I... I'm fine... t-thanks.

Auror: Wow, he actually answered.

Kaito: Auror, don't you dare!!

Auror: Hey, I'm not being mean. I'm just surprised so retract those fangs. Sheesh...

Xaizor: Surprised about what?

Kaito: You see, Lucent isn't fond of talking. The guy's very intelligent and gets the highest grades, but when it comes to socializing... let's say that doesn't happen much.

Marina: Oh my... is he alone most of the time?

Auror: Well, Kaito and Reeta, who is another friend of ours, usually pass the time with him. Those three are almost chained to each other if you ask me.

Xaizor: Huh... hey, caped guy.

Lucent: Ah...!

Xaizor: Whoa, whoa, settle down. Your name's Lucent, right?

Lucent: Y-Yes... that's...

Xaizor: I'm Xaizor and this is my sister Marina. We're friends now.

Lucent: F-Friends...?

Marina: Yes, certainly. I heard that you are very intelligent, so I would like to speak with you about many things.

Xaizor: You better hang out with us, got it? If you don't, I'll drag you out anyway.

Lucent: D-Drag out?!

Marina: Xaizor is a bit forceful. Please excuse me a moment.

Marina gave Xaizor a strong slap on his right cheek.


Auror: Ouch, that must have hurt...

Xaizor: OWWW!! WHAT WAS THAT SLAP FOR, DAMNIT?!

Marina: See? If he ever bothers you, just speak with me and I shall correct him.

Xaizor: Grrr... if you weren't the youngest, I would...

Lucent: ... *smirk*...

Kaito: Eh? Did you just smirked?

Lucent: N-Nothing of the sort.

Kaito: (He was going to laugh, wasn't he? I definitely owe them one...)

Masaru: (This is a good beginning. If we manage to open him up, it'll be better for when they reunite.)

Veronica: I wonder if Mister Ted, Miss Rayla and Miss Andorina are coming too... *looks around*

Kaito: Sure we will, Lady Amara! Right, Lucent?

Lucent: Uh, right.
Kaito: See you later!

They began to walk down the road, it being the shortest route to the school. As they were on the way to reach it, a friend of Kaito appeared.


???: Oh, Kaito. I wasn't expecting to meet you in the road actually.

Kaito: Hoho, if it isn't Mr. Student Council and Ladies' Desire himself!

???: W-What? Stop calling me that, come on...

Kaito: Well, I'm not lying. Many guys envy you. After all, so many girls fawning over you. How many letters do you receive on your locker?

???: Too much for me to count.

Kaito: And yet you don't refuse every single one, now do you?

???: I can't bring myself to say no to every single girl. I just go along with the flow and let them send me. I never answered a single one of them, though.

Kaito: Dude, that's kinda cruel. You can't leave them hanging like that.

???: I know, but I don't want to make them cry either. Wouldn't that be very rude of me?

Kaito: It's something that will end up happening, you wanting or not. Better to just say no if you're not interested.

???: *sigh* Why must this be my fate?

The tall young man, after sighing, turned his attention to Lucent. As soon as he shifted his range of vision, Lucent stepped back and stood behind Kaito.


???: Oh, I didn't noticed you had a friend with you.

Lucent: ...

Kaito: This here is Lucent Vermillion from class 2-C. We actually live together at the orphanage.

???: Lucent... Vermillion?!

Lucent: Ah...! Y-Yes?!

???: Oh sorry, I didn't mean to startle you! It's just that it reminded me of something... are you the "caped loner of class 2-C"?

Kaito: Is that how people call him at school?

Lucent: I... don't mind it. It's fitting...

???: No, it isn't cool to just spread something like this about someone. If you don't like it, tell them to stop.

Kaito: Man, that's... literally the issue here. Lucent isn't fond of conversations and is really shy, so he doesn't talk with anyone.

???: O-Oh, I see... I messed up again, didn't I... sorry, Lucent.

Lucent: I-It's... no problem.

???: I-In any case, let me introduce myself. I'm a member of the student council and my name is...


Member of a Caring Heart
Masaru Nakahara


Masaru: To be honest, I really wanted to meet you for a while now. If you need anything from me, just say it, OK?

Lucent: S-Sure...

Kaito: Alright then, let's head to school together then.

The three of them went down the road together. Kaito began chatting with Lucent about things, while Masaru followed them silently. However, he was actually happy to have finally met Lucent in person. He had a task to fulfill after all.


Masaru: (I finally found you, Lucent. I have to tell him as soon as possible. As soon as he clears the last part of the training he told me, you'll finally be able to...)

Masaru: (Our ties run deeper than what you believe, cousin. Until the day you two meet again, I'll keep you company, just like Kaito does...)

Resolves UNITED under one SKY - Kael Taiyou X Magus Dream

Location: Glory Star Orphanage

The door opened and they came out. The sun was shining brilliantly.


Kaito: Hey, why don't you remove that cape? Aren't you feeling hot?

Lucent: No, I don't. I'm comfortable like this. It helps me whenever I want to hide my face.

Kaito: That's another reason for you to take that cape off.

Lucent: I'm not taking it off, don't insist.

Kaito: Alright then.

As they were ready to leave, they passed by Lady Amara and gave her the greetings.


Kaito: Good morning, Lady Amara!

Lucent: Ah. G-Good morning, Lady Amara.

Location: Spring Zone Streets

The four kept walking together. While Veronica tried to distract Marina from being paranoid, Auror pulled a conversation with Xaizor in order to see him spill all the necessary information about him and his sister.


Auror: That reminds me, you said yesterday about your home. I was curious since I haven't heard anything about it and then I decided to research about it, but I found nothing. Where exactly does your kingdom exist?

Xaizor: I don't know.

Auror: Wait, how come you don't know if you live there?

Xaizor: Never was a fan of history and geography, so I don't actually know where we are located in the world or anything 'bout its story. All that I know is that I live there with Marina and that's it.

Auror: Huh... well, that doesn't help at all.

Xaizor: *sigh* I hope we have P.E today. It's the only time I suppose I can train.

Auror: Do you like sports, Xaizor? Like soccer, basketball and those stuff?

Xaizor: Huh? No, I don't mean that kind of training. I mean, fighting.

Auror: I don't think our school has those sorts of things. There's a rule that abhors violence, even though what we have outside of it is pretty much chaotic.

Xaizor: Wait, so it's all sports? Damnit, then Kaito lied to me!

Auror: I'm pretty sure he just went with the flow whenever you decided to ask him about training sessions.

Behind them, Veronica was talking mainly about the school as well, as she was faithful that they were speaking the truth about their homeland.


Veronica: And we have lots of clubs! We have the art club, the music club, the cheerleader club...

Marina: I see... which of those are you participating, Veronica?

Veronica: The cheerleader squad! I'm also its captain. Do you want to enter it too?

Marina: No, no, thank you for the offer. I do believe I wish to enter the music club, though.

Veronica: Really? Which instrument do you like?

Marina: I have some preferences, but I do like playing the harp. I enjoy playing violins and the cello as well.

Veronica: Oh, that's so classy! Cool! One day, you'll play the harp for me, right?

Marina: I do not see why I could not. I am not a master at handling it, so please forgive me if the sound does not end up well.

Veronica: Yay! I always wanted to hear a harp player!

And so they kept walking. The school was rather close, but they wouldn't be able to enter it yet.
