The girls sported dark, almost black blazers that subtly shimmered when they moved, these were perfectly paired with short pleated skirts, allowing for ease of motion.

Their thigh-high socks, topped with a silver stripe, paired well with short, sturdy black boots, which I noticed emanated a faint glow, perhaps a protective charm. Silver chokers clasped their necks, each embedded with distinct crystals, the colors likely indicative of their elemental affinities.
