“Did you see her eyes ge color to red when she used the spell?” Yvain grasped Matthew’s shoulder, his hand trembling.

  “What? You see her eyes from this far away?” An asked.

  “I used my Force. You two didn’t?” Yvain lied. He used his Vision to see further, and he was almost certain he saw her eyes ge from purple to red for a split sed.

  “I don’t know if it was the lighting, some glowing effect from her spell, or if her eyes ged color. Why?” Matthew asked.

  “That’s… a sign of emerging specialties,” Yvain said as he left them and walked dowadium's stairs.

  An stared at Matthew, who looked back at him. “You… have you been awakened?”

  “For a while,” Matthew shrugged. “I look stupid because I don’t know a thing about the academy’s entrance exam, right? Well, that’s because I never cared about the academy before.”

  They looked at Yvain, who would have flown dowairs if he could, trying to keep his posure as he walked quickly toward the princess alking up to him.

  “Until now,” Matthew grinned.

  ***

  Bir froze when she saw Yvain’s expression. She immediately flinched and watched as he quickly walked dowairs to approach her.

  She bowed to the examiner, who looked at her with a business smile on his face, and headed in the dire Yvain was ing from. Sensing his urgency, and recalling his earlier caution about the Vision Resonator, she grew curious.

  “My dy,” Yvain called out. “That was amazing!”

  The boy desded to her and leaped over the stadium railing, nding right in front of her. “You must meet my Mas—I mean, my Mama.”

  “H-huh?” Bir's face exploded in red. “Y-your M-Mother? Why…?”

  “She’ll love to meet you, I promise. Please have dinner with us,” Yvain excimed.

  “B-but we’ve just met! I-isn’t that skipping a lot of steps…?!” Bir nervously waved her hands.

  “Steps?” Yvain tilted his head.

  “W-well, we’ve just met today…” It had only been three hours since m, and he was already casually inviting her for dinner with his family?

  “Screw that,” Yvain chuckled. “I want to know more about yht now.”

  Bir raised her gaze to meet his eyes. His look somehow made her heart tremble. He seemed very straightforward and casual, yet his words carried weight she couldn’t resist.

  It felt like an order, more absolute than a request, despite his casual tone. Perhaps it was his demeanor—an attitude that suggested no one dared to challenge him easily.

  Someoh great authority.

  “S-sure… I guess?” Bir shrunk a bit, her face warm and fuzzy, her hands defensively over her chest, and her shoulders raised.

  “Thank you very much. I'm sorry for being sudden and rude, but I feel very honored, Yhness,” Yvain beamed, and Bir narrowed her eyes.

  As she looked at him again, she noticed something strange. She was small, smaller than him, but the boy seemed quite small that m as well. Upon closer iion, she realized she o raise her head higher up.

  “Umm, Sir Sator… is it just me, or did you just grow taller?”

  Yvain raised his eyebrows. Indeed, his clothes now felt a lot tighter.

  “Hmm,” Yvain pondered, “Maybe it’s because I just awakened my For the test earlier.”

  “Huh?!” Bir flinched in shock. “F-Force awakening… e to think of it, how did you get here so fast after leaving for the Force test…?”

  “Well, I passed after Young Lord Mossflower, and the test only took a minute of our time each,” Yvain expined.

  “That’s right!” Matthew excimed from behind Yvain.

  Both An and Matthew followed him dowadium, and An tinued Matthew’s statement, “We passed because, well, we had already awakened our Force.”

  “It seems many people have awakeheir Force this year. I believe we'll see more annous during the entrance ceremony,” Matthew said.

  “Well, including you and me, who awakened our Force before the test, we have a new one awakened right here today,” An gri Yvain, who just chuckled.

  “You should’ve seen him, Yhness! He was so cool! In the beginning, he suddenly let our examitack him, breaking the prote spell from his bracelet. We were so shocked?! Then he went woosh! Ssh! Ssh! Ssh! And BAM! Suddenly, he awakened!” Matthew reenacted.

  “Ooh…” Bir widened her eyes in curiosity, her facreasingly i as she listened, apparently imagining the situation. This just fueled Matthew’s fiery storytelling.

  “He awakened his Force just right after he received an arrow to his arm! And then, he said coolly, “Hah—So this—this is Force?” while looking all handsome and bloody, and we’re like, huuuuuh? You’re awakening NOW?!”

  Bir immediately turoward Yvain’s arm. He was wearing a bck suit, so she didn’t see any blood. The color of his scarf, used to tie around his wound, was also dark, making it less noticeable.

  “Y-you’re hurt, but you came here?!” Bir asked.

  “Ah, it’s healed,” Yvain said calmly.

  “That’s crazy, right?! He already knew how to heal himself with Force! But what’s even crazier is when he said after he got hurt and awakened himself, “Senior,” and then, “Let’s tihe test,” and dashed forward! That was so cool! Whaaaat?”

  “Stop, Young Lord Padparadscha,” Yvai embarrassed.

  “But everything I told you until now is NOTHING pared to what happened after. Ooohhh, so it was the elven princess who tested us, right? And we’re like what are you doing?! Why are you being serious while fighting him?! Are y to kill him? And he—oO!”

  Out of the blue behind Matthew, a figure of a peared, yanking his ear skywards—

  “Well, well, well! Look who this is!”

  Matthew turned around to find a woman there, yanking his ear in a way that felt all too familiar—“Ouch! That hurts! S-Sorry, Mom! Ouch! Ouch! OUCH!”

  The woman was a mature brue, sp a robe with the academy’s emblem on it. Mom, huh? It turned out to be her than Princess Bianca Lumihe headmaster of Saint Lucia Academy.

  “Oh, you ungrateful little rascal! So many kids dream of getting into this academy, and here you are, being a selfish little devil—oh, pardon me. Has this troublesome son of mine given you a hard time?” Bianquired calmly, all while still dragging and twisting her son's ear into the stratosphere.

  “Yhness,” Yvain awkwardly bowed, with Bir and An following suit.

  “Alright, let's excuse this ohe boy must ehe test no matter what. You naughty little troublemaker, I’ll make you suffer!”

  The woman dragged the boy up the stadium, probably straight to the Romeuf Stadium, to force him to participate iest. The boy was screaming aing dragged by the ear all the way there.

  “Pfft—” An couldn’t help but ugh, and so did Yvain and Bir.

  “ht,” Yvain said. “I must invite you and Young Lord Padparadscha too. I will send an invitation through the Sator Mert Group. Mama will be gd if you e.”

  An and Bir looked at each other and smiled. An said, “Thank you. I will certainly e.”

  Yvain turo Bir and said, “And if dinner is too much, maybe lunch?”

  Bir blushed, “I’d like that. Thank you, Sir Sator.”

  Allies and enemies, Yvain must keep them close. Bir, the beloved younger sister of the first prince, An Mossflower, the son of the right hand of the Prime Minister… and Matthearadscha, a son of a figure of great power in Inkia, and the headmaster of the academy.

  But well, Yvain was still unsure of his e with one missing puzzle piece.

  Princess Nahwu.
