Yuu and Grim woke up to the sounds of eagles cawing from the outside. Their sleep went well and one of the Deighfrysa students called them out for breakfast.
                          
The food was prepared and Grim wasted no time to dig in. It seemed as if Yuu was still getting used to the dorm's atmosphere. Unlike what the rumors say, everyone here seemed to blend in equally and there was no ruckus...aside from the animals.
                          
"Good morning everyone," you came into view, already decked with the NCR uniform while the others were still in their pajamas.
                          
"Morning Prefect~" what a casual way to greet someone but you didn't mind and called out to Yuu and Grim. 
                          
"Both of you eat up and hurry, Leona is already waiting for us at their dorms." you nudged your face to the big mirror.
                          
"Right~!"

"Wah! Why is everyone up early?" Yuu blinked as they traveled fast towards Savanaclaw's dorm. The sudden change of temperature slightly spooked him.
                          
"Heya~! Good morning!" Ruggie popped up in front of you three, decked in his training clothing.
                          
"...It seems as if you guys are already training for the Magical Shift? Early morning..." you hummed them did a little wave as your appearance changed.
                          
You once long silver hair now tied up in a low ponytail while you were decked in Deighfrysa's P.E clothe.
                          
"Woah..." Yuu marveled at your trick.
                          
"Right...Since you guys are here, you have to participate too!" Ruggie cheered and dragged you by the arm. "Nice shirt by the way."
                          
"Thanks,"
                          
"...You guys are so noisy," Leona came too, his hair also tied in a low ponytail while decked in a similar shirt like Ruggie. He yawned and then went over to you.
                          
"Mm...it's cold," Leona yawned once more then he buried his head on your shoulders.
                          
"Geez! Leona-san, stop sleeping!" Ruggie sighed and pulled Leona by the collar and dragged him to the court where the others were.
                          
"Oh, you're joining morning practice too?" Jack was over by the bench and started stretching. He noticed you decked in P.E and...
                          
"Why are you in your pajama...?" Jack furrowed his browns in confusion as he looked at Yuu's appearance.
                          
"Oh- I must've...forgotten my uniform," Yuu chuckled in embarrassment, suddenly feeling out of place.
                          
"Don't worry, I got you," with a snap of your fingers, Yuu was suited in a similar P.E uniform as you. 
                          
"Cool, now you look like you belong to my dorm," you smiled and patted his head.
                          
"Alright!" Ruggie called of everyone. "Now, since we're all here, why don't we have a little game?" he smiled and looked at the first years. "Let's make the first years work up a sweat~"
                          
"Oh no..." you groaned.
                          
A few hours later and everyone was drained with energy...except Jack. Ruggie commented in fascination about how Jack moves so fast and agile, even Leona couldn't help but see.
                          
"That's kinda overdoing it yanno...?" Grim asked. "So you're already training for next year's Magical Shift, huh?"
                          
"Oh...you don't know yet huh?" you wiped off sweat in your collar and went next to Leona.
