The group arrived at the café and they rushed into the staff room. Claire put down the unconscious Kiyan at the bed and Mari put Shin on the other bed beside Kiyan.

Claire sat on a couch with a exhaustion etched on her face. Mari looked at Claire and gave her a wet towel.

"Use this towel to wipe your face Claire. What happened inside the dungeon?"

" Thanks, I don't know either, but one thing is for sure that Kiyan can manifest his regalia. Even though it's not complete it killed the boss that Shin and I struggling to deal with"

Claire's face seems puzzled on what happened earlier. Mari's eyes widened on Claire's statement about what happened on the dungeon.

"you mean he manifested his regalia earlier?"

"I'm sure he manifested it, but the problem is that it's incomplete. It makes me wonder— is it possible for someone to manifest their regalia without mastering their own mana? I can't think straight right now."

"It’s better if we talk about this tomorrow. You should rest too, Claire. I’ll watch over them tonight."

"Thanks Mari"

*yawns*

"what time is it Mari?"

"Currently it's 3:12am in the morning " Mari replied while holding her phone.

"That late already? I'd better to take a sick leave later. By the way where's Rose?"

"She's at the shop's counter staying on guard. I told her earlier to take some rest too but she didn't listen to me"

"Anyways Mari, I'll take a nap for a while. Goodnight if it's still night"

"Trying to be humorous? HAHA Goodnighty Claire"

Mari left the staff room to let them rest and she went to the counter to check on Rose. When she arrived at the counter she saw Rose sleeping on top of the counter.

" I told you earlier take some rest too Roselle"

Rose murmurs on her sleep and Mari covered Rose with a blanket. Mari locked the door and take a nap too at the counter.

In the morning Kiyan woke up, feeling so tired. He turned his head on the right side of the bed he saw Shin covered with bandages on his body while reading a book.

"Yo Kiyan you still alive?" Shin said with a sarcasm

" I'm the one should be asking you that. Are you alright?"

" Better than before I must say, Thanks to Claire he defeated that giant bear and dragged us out of the portal."

" I must correct that statement of yours, Shin. " Claire who's sitting on the couch interupted on our conversation.

"Why's that?" Shin looked at Claire with a confused reaction and he closed his book.

" You see, I am affected by the paralyzing skill of that bear from before I can't move my body too. Even I, is surprised too but Kiyan killed the giant bear"

Kiyan's eyes widened because of shocked and disbelief.

"Wait, me?? Are you serious Claire?"

"What?..." Shin is dumbfounded on what Claire said.

" Yes you heard it right. I have a good news and a bad news which one you guys wanna hear first?"

Kiyan and Shin looked at each other and said "Good News"

"Alright, the good news is I confirmed that Kiyan has a regalia, BUT under some certain circumstances it's not yet complete. I'm not sure what's the cause of that but I'll make sure to uncover that mystery"

" Wait Claire, Kiyan just learned magic yesterday how could you say that he have a regalia? Also what is this 'incomplete' thing"

" I know there's a lot of questions on your minds right now but I can't answer that for now. As for how I confirmed that Kiyan possesses a regalia he manifested it on the battle last night and used it to kill the bear"

"..."

Shin remained silent for a while after hearing Claire's words. Kiyan looked at Claire with a straight face.

" Can you tell me... What's the appearance of my regalia? Since you've mentioned before that regalias reflect on someone's personality right? I wanna know more about myself too"

"I'm afraid to dissapoint you, but all I can say for now is it's like a sword made out of light but it's not the final appearance of it since it's incomplete"

" I see, thanks Claire" Kiyan said, his face is gloomy and somewhat sad.

"We're the ones that should've thanking you instead, Kiyan. If it weren't for you me and Shin died on the hands of that bear" Claire bowed his heads at Kiyan.

" What's the bad news Claire?" Shin said, while looking straight at Claire.

"Oh, about that you two are late on class. Ms. Herschel texted me earlier that you guys better be late than absent today because she's giving something important task today. So, Chop chop get moving"

Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.

"!!!" The both of them shared the same expression knowing that they're late and still chatting casually with Claire.

"Where's Rose?" Shin asked.

"She's already on the campus"

" She went on the campus all by herself leaving us here??"

*Nods*

Shin left the room quickly to go to the bathroom to change his clothes.

"What about you Claire? Why you're not at the campus right now?"

"I took a sick leave. There's some spare uniforms on the bathroom you can have that since you don't have one yet"

"I'm going to change now too, thanks again Claire"

"Yeah yeah, take care both of you"

Kiyan go to the bathroom and opened the mini wardrobe on the corner. There's a complete uniform for Astralliz University. Kiyan immediately wear the uniform and fix his face in front of the mirror.

Kiyan's reflection showed him wearing a dark blue coat over a gray blazer, paired with a white polo and a neatly tied black necktie.

' I look more like a student of that university since I have the official uniform'

Kiyan left the restroom and saw Mari at the counter waving at him, Kiyan waves back at Mari

"Where's Shin?" Kiyan asked Mari who's drinking her coffee at the table.

"He's outside waiting for you he also said 'HURRY UP!' " Mari laughs playfully.

"Thanks Mari I'm leaving now, thanks for letting me stay here"

" No problem, Take care~"

Meanwhile, in front of the café Shin is standing in front of the lamppost waiting for Kiyan. After Kiyan leaves the café they started walking towards the campus direction.

The morning breeze sweeps through the streets of Estelle City and cherry blossom petals are falling on their branches. Shin's face looks puzzled and he's silent while they're walking.

"Shin are you okay?"

"Ohh yes, I'm fine just thinking about some things"

"I thought you're not feeling well"

"Sorry I'd made you worry, but thanks"

"It's okay, no problem Shin by the way what's bugging you?"

"Hmm, answer me how did you kill that bear? Do you remmember anything?" Shin said with a curious tone.

"About that a barely recall what happened last time but I can manage to remember that I casted some magic."

"What kind of magic? can you remmember?"

"Hmmm... I just followed Rose's instructions, I think of something that can pierce through the giant bear. After that I felt like my body is brimming with power. That's all I can remember "

"Can you try to remember what magic did you use?"

"I'm sorry, doesn't ring a bell but I'll try my best"

The two of them arrived at the campus and headed to their classroom. Shortly after, they noticed Ms. Herschel is standing at the classroom's door.

"There you are you two, Ms. Claire already told me the reasons why you guys are late."

"We'd appreciate your kindness ma'am" Shin and Kiyan bow their heads.

"Alright, listen to me I have something important to say for the both you. Principal Carter wanted to meet you on his office also your friend Rose is already there, please go to the Principal's office at the forth floor"

"Thank you ma'am, we'll go in at the Principal's office now" Shin said.

'Why do I feel something's about to go down. I don't usually get this kind of feeling but let's see what will happen' Kiyan is sunk deeply on his thoughts.

Kiyan and Shin goes to the Principal's office. In the other hand Rose who's sitting at the couch at the Principal Office talking at Carter. The two of them seems like discussing about something.

"Good morning, Ms. Roselle. Thank you for paying me a visit here today."

"U-uhh, no problem Principal Carter. If you don't mind, why did you call me here?" Rose said while feeling nervous.

"Please wait for the others before I'll tell you the details"

Carter leans back on his chair and he gets a folder under his desk. Shortly after there's knocks on the door of the Principal's office. Shin and Kiyan entered the room and Rose is looking at them.

" Be my guests have a seat"

Shin sat beside Rose, while Kiyan sat on the other couch.

"Since everyone is here, allow me to get onto business. I call you here because Ms. Claire requested to me that she wanted to be your adviser. She also mentioned that the three of you have great potential, and she wants to help you develop it further. If you don't have any objections I'll approve that right away. What's your thoughts?"

'why did Claire asked a request for the principal?' Kiyan is talking to himself

"If we agree to that Mr. Principal, what's the consequences of that?" Shin asked politely

"Ahh good question, I'd say there's no consequences BUT you'll work extra if Ms. Claire asked for your help. That's all."

"I see, then I have no objections about it " Shin replied

"How about the two of you?" Carter looks at Kiyan and Rose

"If Shin is okay with it then I'll go too"

'I don't see any reasons for objecting the idea, but why the Principal gives somewhat odd vibes'

"I'll go too" Kiyan said

"Perfect lemme arrange your papers. You may go back on your classrooms now."

Outside the office the three of them is on their way to the classroom. While they're walking Kiyan break the ice and started talking about nonsense.

"Uhm guys how about we call Claire about this? What you guys think?" Kiyan said

"That's a pretty nice idea!" Rose pulls out her phone and dialed Claire's number.

*Riiiingggg Riiinggg*

"Hello this is Claire, what's up Rose?"

"Hi Claire, Kiyan wanted to ask something to you"

'!!! That's not what I said Rose!"

Rose gave her phone to Kiyan.

"Uhm Hi, is it true that you requested to the principal to be our adviser?"

"Ohh? Yes I requested that because I'm a student council adviser only. I can't handle other students unless they are a part of the student council body that's why. I'm sorry I forgot to tell you guys about that because of the previous operation"

"So that's how it is, thanks for explaining Claire" Kiyan felt relieved and he gave the phone back to Rose then Claire hung up.

"That's a valid reason, let's head back" Shin said

"Alright"

Before they reach the classroom the school bell rings. Rose checked the time on her phone.

"The first period is over already? How long were we talking with the principal?"

"Let's hit the cafeteria instead?"

"Probably yes and let's wait for the next period after lunch" Shin replied

"Yay! Let's go~ I wonder what's on the menu today" Rose seems happy

After some time at the cafeteria Kiyan finished his meal early and decided that he wanted some time alone, which he promptly told Rose and Shin. The two looked at each other and nodded at Kiyan.

"Haahh... Maybe I should go to the rooftop it's peacefull there, Plus it's been a while since the last time I get to my favorite place on every school"

While Kiyan is near on the top floor he saw a vending machine before the rooftop's door.

Kiyan decided to buy a iced coffee in can and proceeds on his way to the rooftop.

Kiyan lay down on a bench at the rooftop and closes his eyes feeling the breeze that soothes his worries away.

'Going back while we're inside the dungeon, I'm watching Claire and Shin fighting that bear. When I was watching them there's a urge that I want to help them, but there's nothing I can do at the moment. Until I saw the bear punched Shin that sends him flying and caused him to faint, I don't know what's gotten into me, did I get angry? Or just a sense of camaraderie?'

' I can't really remember, All I have on my mind that time is I want to kill that bear and I tried my best to cast a magic that can pierce through that bear, but did I succeeed? According to Claire I'm the one who killed the bear... Even though I didn't know how I actually did it, I'm happy that we're all able te get out of there.'

Kiyan get up and sit then he opened the coffee on his hand and took a sip of it. Meanwhile at the top of rooftop's bulkhead there's a image of a Student who's looking at Kiyan.

??? "It's not every day that you see a student hanging around this parts of a luxurious university"

Kiyan looked up to find out who's talking, and he saw an attractive male student who was sitting on the top of the bulkhead, he has a dark blue hair with a silver colored eyes staring at him.
