“Oh.” He was almost disappointed.
“Also one more thing; have you ever heard of someone named Nidhoggr?“

“Nidhoggr? Did Fie warm up to you enough to tell you that?” Sara smiles. “But… I can’t say anything. After all, its up to the girl to reveal her secrets, right? Give it time.”

“I got her to play a game. I’d ask her a question, she’d ask me one.” Magnus tells her this, but doesn’t say when this game happened.

“Huh. And here I thought she made friends with you…” Sara sighs.

“She’s been following me,” he adds.

“Well aren’t you the lucky one,” She grins, probably thinking something out of this world.

“Then it was a good idea to put Fie in your group. I’d see all the exciting things.”

Speaking of the trip… No questions?

“What are we doing on the field trips? You mentioned experience, so would it be a stretch to visit the Sirens? Legend says that their song tells a secret you cannot learn otherwise.”
Magnus neglects to mention that he had seen sirens before, but had never heard their call.

“The Sirens are an old legend. Besides, while you are a special case, everyone else needs to learn more about the issues that each town faces.” Sara says.
“You’ll just need to pack up and see. After all, what’s a few surprises every now and then? War can strike at any corner now too. Even the seas won’t be safe.”

She does seem to know more than you think.

But the sirens aren’t just legends. I’ve seen them, Magnus thinks.
“One last thing. Do you know where I can practice my arts, perhaps learn some new ones?“

“Arts… Hmm… I heard you can get some nifty quartz to put into your ARCUS. Thats where arts come from after all.”

“And where can I buy the quartz?”

You’ll be able to buy Quartz from the General Store in the Student Union.

Perhaps you should explore the school.

“Well… if I remember correctly… The School Union’s General Store has some. Or you could request a quartz from the Engineering Club… Though you’ll need to clear up monsters in the highways… or go mine them.”

“You’ve been a great help.“
Magnus goes over to Fie and wakes her up.
“Want to buy some magic crystal?“

She is almost asleep, making herself comfortable in the spot. Until Magnus decided to intrude. She listened to his request…

“Magic Crystal?” She asks, tilting her head at the oddly-named item.

Matija attempts to figure out what Artes they have with the new quartz.

“Hey George another question, what’s stopping me from just filling up my ARCUS right now. Do i have to wait in between making them?” Matija asks, still not fully grasping everything that goes into it

There are no artes in this quartz apparently, as you scour through the database.

“No way, you can stack up on as many quartz as you want. Strangely enough, only one student has been coming to me for that. Are the first-years not listening to class?” George wonders.

Just then, the door rings. Ferris enters the building.
“Hello!” She beams.

“Oh hey Ferris! How are you. Amazing Arte i must say”

“Yeah! George has a way with Quartz!” Ferris beams.
“That being said, I’m here for maintenance on the ARCUS. I’m afraid I put too much stress on it during the time attack challenge.”
She hands the ARCUS over to George.

“Sure thing!”

“Yeah… best get him to do all the stuff now, because when students realise how quartz works, this place will be swarming with people.” Angel remarks, shaking her head.

He flips open the ARCUS. And asks,
“Mind if I let Majita check your ARCUS? He could use knowledge by showing some of your Quartz.”
“Sure. I don’t see why not.”

Upon getting closer… You see 4 slots filled with orbs, and 4 empty slots.

“Still can’t believe my eyes though, this Mirage Quartz is really something.” George comments, on one of the quartz.
