"What the—?!" Mariana pinched herself in the arms to check if she was still asleep, but she clearly felt the pain and realized that she was wide awake. Waves of students from the three towers had scattered on almost every nook and cranny of Arcanus' Center Grounds. This place, located in the middle of the three towers, was usually peaceful and orderly as most of the students who went there had their lunches or did their training while in the area. However, at that moment, Mariana saw the students present were currently focused on something else. "We are looking for an earth mage to join our Triad!" "Any demonologists around?" "We need a priest! Priest, anyone?!" Mariana wandered her eyes to read the placards these students were also holding and raising in the air. The words written in their signs were all asking for the same thing: an invitation to join as a member of their Triad. Mariana's blood was pumping. She couldn't help

“Paradis, as it was written in the many old history books found in the Royal Library of Atmos, hosted several humanoid races in its lands, seas, and skies hundreds of years ago. Some of them are more sentient beings, too. The goblins, for example, were fancy little individuals…”Mariana jotted down all the important details in her newly purchased notebook. They were having ‘History of Paradis’ under Professor Darkwind. Mariana thought her subject would be difficult for her to handle, but she didn’t expect that Professor Darkwind was a really excellent teacher. She blamed all of her misunderstandings on Ignis.Mariana couldn’t help but shake her head in her seat. It was almost three weeks since she, Ignis, and Professor Darkwind paid Oceana Clearwater a visit on the first day of the new term, and every single passing day that Goddess Invidia created, she heard insults from Ignis about their Elven pr

Ignis leaned his head closer to the struggling Jack. He opened his mouth and sucked in all the fire engulfing Jack, just like inhaling air. Jack, now unconscious, fell hard on the ground face first. Jack's charred limbs hugged the cold marble floor. He was unrecognizable. His clothing and body hairs were in ashes. If the spell had lingered any moment longer, he would have definitely expired. Although seeing his state, one would wish he had died instead. It was beyond terrible for a human — or any race — to experience this. But more than Jack's overcooked body, the crowd fixed their attentions towards the person who caused it. "He's real..." "He ate the flames." "No, he didn't! He sucked it from Jack." "I know what I saw!" Many more comments livened the silent hallway, but not everyone was on the same page. For Mariana, what happened was inhumane. Her beliefs were being challenged in front of her eyes, and she didn't kno

"Please. Anything but that," Ignis pleaded. "Why? Aren't you two friends?" Oceana spoke without the echoer in front of her mouth. What a familiar artifact, Ignis thought. "That's what she believes. I don't want to babysit her again." "Then don't." Oceana retorted. "Don't worry. To make things fair for you, I will ask her reason first." Then she faced Mariana. "Lady Fairchild, am I correct? Anyway, why do you want to be in the same class as Ignis?" "Yes, Mariana Fairchild. As for your other question... um." Mariana scratched her temple. "I don't think Ignis would like it if everyone else heard about what he knew." 'Thanks... Now they would have no idea about it.' Ignis was annoyed. He regretted he accepted the two-faced woman's request to study in Arcanus. All he wanted to do was follow the Lady of Sickle's wishes. That was why he went to Arcanus in the first place. However, Oceana, or whom Ignis called the Two-faced Woman persu

A month had swiftly passed since Arcanus held its new students' admission exams, but for Mariana, it felt like an eternity. She was anxiously anticipating the day that she would be returning to Arcanus after she (almost failed) passed the exams with flying colors.Mariana had been so over the edge — even Lucia and Robert lost their temper at some point because Mariana wouldn't stop screaming every time she laid her eyes on her uniform that she hung on the door to her room.Lucia and Robert were the first individuals that Mariana knew to find out that she passed the admission exam to Arcanus, and they should've been also the last to know about it. However, the old couple didn't want Mariana to receive bad rumors any longer, so the next day the two learned of the good news, they deliberately spread the information about her to everyone; they said that a simple village girl from Pago, faced all the odds and passed the 'insanely difficult' entrance examination

Mariana dipped her quill on the ink bottle before proceeding to write her next answer. 'Earth wall', Mariana muttered the earth mage spell she was going to answer. Given that this was Arcanus' entrance examination, Mariana assumed that the questions would be incredibly difficult — she guessed wrong. Mariana quickly breezed through her exam paper without breaking a sweat. Every item was something she had read from her grandpa's book or had heard from Marcus' stories. 'They might haven't prepared enough.' Mariana thought when she took a quick peek at her fellow examinees when she was at around question 22. They looked dejected. The lady beside her — who appeared to be a wind mage — had her hands fidgeting and sweating profusely; the earth mage in front of that lady was scratching the back of his head furiously like it was infested by insects. Theresa, on the other hand, was sitting pretty in front with her feet on
