“Wha— Hunter?”
Jem hid his confusion well.
Sensing a time to get on his good side, Magnus says,
“Josephine Rogner? I’ve heard of her. She’s almost as cool as you.”
The teacher’s door opened, and a woman walks out. Sporting short purple hair, she spots the two nearby.
“Oh hey there Terry-buns. I’ve been looking for you.” She winks.
You swear you felt shivers from the person beside you.
“Wow, you only got a shoulder injury? Wish I only had those injuries when I fought her.”
Terry gulps.
Magnus decides to help Terry out and take attention off him.
“Pretend you hurt me,” he whispers to Terry before pretending to fall, wailing unconvincingly.
“So I go to it, and to my surprise, THERE WAS ACTUAL PEOPLE THERE. And there was this young girl who looked like, 13! I was like, trying to sneak up to get a closer view, but then the noble, the leader of the club spotted me! And me being the dumbass that I am, I was speechless.”

Terry grabs onto Magnus, making sure he does no such thing.
“This is my sister we’re looking at, stand at attention.”
“Man, back in the day Instructor Sara broke my entire class into pieces… You guys have it lucky.”
“???”
“So. You finding the school nice yet?” The tall instructor walked towards the two boys. She crosses her arms, taking a good look at Magnus. Before beaming with enthusiasm.
“My my, who’s this little charmer? A friend?”

“Sis- no, Instructor, why didn’t you say anything about artes before I came to the academy?!”
Oh, and it just so happens that Elise and Ferris walks by the two people on the way to the rooftop.
“… What about me now?” Ferris gripes in, her face turning black the moment she heard Hunter. And not to mention, she was the object of interest! And what was this? And now a gardening club leader?
Ferris’ eyes… are dark… as if they were looking at an insignificant pile of trash… And Elise was just there, maintaining her composed self, though a little more… wide-eyed by the coincidence.
Hunter had not noticed Ferris walking by.
“James, I know you said I should just apologize and be honest, but isn’t that going to make it more awkward? And what about this sheet?”
Hunter held up a gardening club application form.
“Do I just ignore it? Do I just leave it be? Do I give it back?”
