11. Commencement [2]

                                    

                                          
Two days had passed and currently, Luna and the group are within the Arena with Gillian and Clyde, training them. 
"Woah! You just spawn a weapon out of thin air!" Rei exclaimed after witnessing a sword appear on Luna's right hand. "That's so cool!" 
Oh, right. Luna hasn't shown anyone that she can use the 'Requip' magic. She knew it wasn't part of their training as a senior one or was it part of their curriculum. She only had read it somewhere within the library and decided to learn it. 
"Requip magic. . ." Gillian approaches the other along with Clyde with amused expressions. "Did someone teach that to you?" 
"No. I just learned it on a whim." She answered honestly. 
There was no use lying, 'Luna' was already treated as a genius, it would be more logical to say that she learned it by herself rather than someone teaching it to her. But, well, she did in fact get a little help from Agapius by that time. 
'I think you're forgetting that, you're currently Rinalyn, not Luna.' 
A voice in her head resonated making her jolt. It was Shiki. Right, she's playing the role of Rinalyn. . .she can't be this careless.
"Fascinating. . ." They heard Clyde muttered. "I've never met anyone other than Vaynesse, Remus's mother cast that spell." He stated eyes panning towards remus who was at the corner playing with the sands, making little figures as he played with it.
"How childish," Rei snorted. 
"He cute though~" Daryll sing-song(ly) remarked. 
"It's unusual for you to join their group, Ezra." Gillian commented as she turn her attention to Ezra who was practicing aiming, who is with Shiki and Luna. 
"Oh, well, I just got dragged along the way. . . Somehow?" He answered unsure. 
But really, Ezryn was actually the only odd one out of Luna's group. The only people he had ever interacted with were the two; Luna and Shiki. 
Well, he did also interact with Rinalyn at some point in the past months when they were grouped up. And occasionally, Rei talks to him when borrowing something. 
But he can't really say that he had gotten close to these people from those mere interactions. He doesn't even know what Luna and Shiki think of him. 
"Hmm. . . Your power seems suppressed." Gillian remarked when Ezryn went back on aiming the dummy meters away from him. "I've never really gotten close to you, but right now, I can see the mana circulation your system is somehow abnormal, yet I can't sense why." 
Ezryn felt a bit of panic when Gillian approached him closer, observing him as if she could see through his soul. He knew that professors here shouldn't be taken lightly, but no one ever dared to directly say that to him since he got into Starlight Magic Academy. 
All Ezryn could do was laugh it off awkwardly. 
"Hey come and spar with me." Suddenly shiki approached Ezryn as he called him.
"Oh! That would be nice!" Gillian exclaimed parting Ezryn as she cheer him on. 
Whoosh!
"Hey!" Daryll yelled in panic as an ice pick was thrown in his direction. 
"Oops, sorry!" Yelled Rei apologetically. 
Like Ezryn, Rei was also practicing her aiming to be a dummy and unfortunately Daryll was apparently close behind it.
"Wouldn't your friends get suspicious when you and Rinalyn finally switched back places? I sure know she doesn't possess requip magic." Clyde stated, closely watching Luna trying to switch weapons in seconds. 
". . ." 
"That cat beast of yours can just wiped out certain memories." Cylde stated. 
Huh? Wipe out memories? Such a thing exist? Well he is a deity in disguise, it wouldn't be shocking if a God could do that certain things 
Thinking back, the semester is nearing to its end. It felt like it had already been a year, but only just a half of it still. 
"Ah, right, Everyone!" Cylde suddenly yelled capturing the attention of the students. With an earnest expression, it made them all went to gather around. 
"Is something the matter, Cylde?" Asked curiously of Gillian who came beside his subordinate. 
Cylde cleared his throat before speaking. 
"This situation may be is a serious matter, but what I'm about to say is a lot more important." Cylde started. 
The students gulped, wearing their perplexed expression. Earnestly opening their ears to hear out this important matter Cylde is about to tell them. 
"For your final term for me will be role playing with an indication of the ancient language, don't forget. This is also a contest for other classes I'm holding on to will also be doing the same. Be sure be prepared for it before the festival, for you'll be also performing it." 
The students was rendered speechless, and Gillian wore a crooked smile, disbelief was written within her face.
"What the f*ck?!" Remus blurted out of the blue. 
"Mr. Weinberg, do you want me to add a demerit on your record for your language?" Cylde warned. 
Remus clucked his tongue. Still in disbelief of what this professor just said about telling them an 'important matter', just for them to get told about their final term performance for hus subject. 
"That's. .  . Undoubtedly less important than this." Remarked Luna, which the others agreed. 
They expected Cylde to get furious, but only to see him smirk; "Hmm. . . I'm not sure about that." 
Perplexed as they were, the arena's door open unexpectedly, leaving everyone in shock. 
That familiar black hair and red eyes, along with this heavy atmosphere thay came along. 
"Wha. . . ain't he Zachary?" Remus aforementioned. 
Zachary was smiling scanning the room as his eyes were eventually fixed to Luna with the appearance of Rinalyn. 
A mixed of emotions flashed over Zachary' face that made Luna uneasy. 
'Why is he here?'
