When Darius stepped into the premises of the Mirage Castle that noon, he was surprised at the state of the castle. The walls had cracked, and the students were all waiting outside.

Fortunately, someone pranced from behind Darius and wrapped their arm around him. Since he was standing next to Solar and Nicholai, they both heard her voice. She chuckled: "Whatever it tried to do earlier in the morning, it failed… but cracked the walls real good."
"Leanna." Nicholai looked over his shoulder to see the colleague that he hadn't seen in a while. "Did you come when you felt such a thing was happening?"
