"Mai, on your left!" yelled Maria.
"Julian, look out behind you!" shouted Mai after taking out {Class-Pawn: Barbarian Yellow Tiger} with a Light Magic Spell. The purple-haired boy used his Bloodline Magic to defeat the {Class-Pawn: Fire Horn Zubron} he was up against.
"Maria, above you!" said Julian. Maria dodged the attack from the beast she was up against and moved in to attack with her crimson dual fire fans. Once all three beasts were taken out, the three friends happily congratulated each other.
They were in the middle of their Confrontation Against Magical Creatures class, which took place in a forest located outside the academy's grounds.

"You don't have to worry about that; no woman should have to suffer what you just went through," said Maria. Her words caused the woman to smile."Even if you say that, I still feel that I must compensate you somehow. Oh, how's this? I heard news of this popular bakery shop that just opened up in town. How about I treat you to some delicious desserts?" offered the woman. Maria's ears perked up once she realized both her and this woman were heading towards the same place."We were just heading there. How about we go together, Ms...?""You can just call me Cordelia.""Okay, Miss Cordelia!""Now..." Cordelia hooked arms with Maria, shooting the y
"Now that was a lovely shopping trip; don't you agree, my adorable Maria?" This sweet cheerful voice was none other than the countess. Maria was strolling down the street with her mother, walking side-by-side while Kuroka and Shirone trailed behind them. For two hours Maria watched as her mother picked out a variety of outfits and dresses to try on for themselves. If she liked them, her mother ordered for them to be delivered to the Rosendrey manor.They had gotten up early this morning, Shirone and Kuroka dressing Maria in a simple pastel yellow turtleneck top with puffy sleeves and in a plaid pastel yellow and pink short pleated skirt. Silk pink ribbons were used to tie her hair into pigtails; around her neck was the necklace that Mai had won during the Love-Me Carnival.Her mother's choice of attire matched the
After browsing around New Moon Palace, the duchess kindly escorted them back to her family mansion, which she inherited after her husband's death. The manor itself was stunning with intricate Persian architecture and exotic flower beds blooming everywhere. Once escorted through the door, a line of maids and butlers greeted them along with three eye-catching figures that stood in front of a staircase."So happy to see you return back home, my grace." The first to greet the duchess was a regal and handsome looking man with shiny pale blonde hair that he tucked behind his left ear. Kneeling down on one knee, he softly kissed the back of the duchess’s hand."I already ordered the staff to arrange a place in the Spring Pavillion for you and your guests, my grace." Speaking next was a stern but also attractive man with dark blue hair that reminded Maria of the night sky and silver eyes that glittered like the moon. 
Inside of a large room decorated with luxurious items and furniture that spoke of the room belonging to someone of high status, a woman whose appearance was shrouded in the shadows sat on the couch. Kneeling before the woman was a familiar purple-haired woman who went by the name Lady Poison. Replacing her usual scowl was a trembling smile, shoulders quivering from the intensity of the woman's glare that was aimed at her."Last time when I called you here, I asked for only one simple request, dispose of Archduchess Scarlet, and eliminate the House of Scarlet. Did you ever wonder the cause of asking such a task from you?" The woman's voice was calm and firm; not a hint of anger could be detected but that only made the other woman on the ground tremble worse."No, your majesty, I only wanted to get the
Hearing a voice softly call out to her, amethyst eyes slowly revealed themselves, catching sight of a blurry figure crouched down beside her. Once her vision was clear enough, the sleeping beauty arose and reached out towards the round furry object lying on her lap. "Milky, wake up," she softly called out to the furry object as Maria jolted when she saw the object reveal two large eyes."Ah, is nap time over already?" it asked in a cute high-pitched, sleepy voice."It talks?!" Maria was not expecting the round fur creature lying in the princess’s lap to talk. The cute creature was covered in an ombre of icy-blue, lavender, and pure-white soft and fuzzy feathers."May I ask what you are doing here?" The melodic voice drew Maria's attention away from the bi
Hearing someone call out the princess's name, they soon saw an elf maid with peach colored hair blowing in the wind, rushing towards their direction. "Princess, this is where you've been!" Stopping to catch her breath, the maid placed a hand over her beating heart, happy to see that the princess was well and unharmed.A second later she realized that the princess was not alone, taking notice of the children. "Umm, princess, who are these people?" The maid kindly stepped closer to the princess, bending down her head to whisper into her ear.Opening her mouth, Luna was ready to respond only to have the school bell cut off what she was about to say. The maid standing by her side hastily grabbed the princess's wrist. "Princess, you can not be late. A tardy mustn't ruin your perfect attendance!" After saying this, the
The day before the camping trip, Countess Rosendrey could be seen hastily pulling out every article of clothing in Maria's dresser or closet and piling them on top of the mountain of clothes already in her suitcase. 'S-She's overdoing it!' Maria didn't know how to put a stop to her mother's madness; luckily Shirone tried to lend a hand by speaking reason to the countess."My Lady, the ojou-sama will only be gone for a week. The number of clothes you're packing exceeds that length. I urge you to please put some back." The neko white-haired maid tried to explain calmly to the countess, who childishly refused to listen."No way! My darling Maria will be away from her mommy for a whole week! I must make sure she has everything she'll need
The next day, the students were harshly awakened from their peaceful dreams when a blaring alarm rang throughout the lodge. Maria was so startled that she got tangled in her blanket and clumsily fell out of her bed. The only person who was not startled was Mai, sleeping like a log and unaware of her friend’s turmoil. 'I envy you, Mai.' Maria shot the blonde a half-hearted glare before walking up to the bed where the blonde was sleeping and shouted,"Look, someone is about to take the last piece of meat!" Right on cue Mai's eyes shot open, leaping from out of her bed."Don't you dare touch my meat!" growled Mai, fire burning in her eyes with the intent of defending her precious meat. Seeing this, Maria could
