A teenage girl, of age around 15 was sitting on a chair reading from a textbook. She was dressed in casuals, and had medium length-messy black hair. Her eyes were droopy, and tired with dark circles under them, she probably had not slept for atleast two days.

The room she was in was quite average sized, with a bed and a mirror hanging on its wall. There was a closet beside the bed, and other then those things, the room was mostly empty.

She closed the book and yawned. She got up from the table and jumped onto the bed with her stomach against it, and instantly fell asleep.

After 4 hours, a woman-probably in her 20s dressed in maid clothing entered the room. The woman had a smile on her face, with her dimples showing. She had average looks with a average body, the only striking feature about her being her neatly braided blonde hair.

She held a pair of trousers with a simple white shirt on her arms, and kept them on one corner of the bed.

The maid then turned towards the girl, who was still asleep, with drool coming out of her mouth.

"Please wake up, lady Gigi. Mistress Elara is here to teach you." Said the maid to the girl sleeping.

Even though the girl looked like she was in deep sleep, the instant the maid finished speaking the girl woke up.

Gigi, got up from the bed, feeling well rested even after only sleeping for 4 hours and yawned, while streching her arms.

"Mistress Elara is here?"

"Yes milady, she just got here." Replied the maid.

"Okay, get me dressed up for the training session."

The maid nodded and picked up the clothes she had kept aside on the bed and took them to Gigi who was stripping out of her casuals. After she stripped off them, the maid helped the Gigi put on the trouser and the shirt.

"Hurry it up, I don't want to keep mistress waiting." Said Gigi in a annoyed voice.

The maid quickened up her pace and buttoned up Gigi's shirt. She them went on to Gigi's messy hair, combed them and tied into a ponytail.

"It's all done, milady."

Gigi, without saying anything hurriedly headed out her room.

The difference between her room and the outside corridor was of heaven and earth, while her room was simple and bland, the rest of the house was luxury and lavish, with intricate carvings on every door she passed through with the floor made out of high quality dark colored planks.

Gigi made her way outside the house to her garden, which was large. With water fountains and stone paved path.

The weather was cloudy, and windy with no signs of sunlight seeping through the clouds.

Gigi went to a corner of the garden, where a woman was sitting on a chair, sipping tea from a cup. The woman was probably in her 30s and was wearing a simple white shirt, and trousers the same as the one's wore by Gigi.

She had short black hair, with a clear face. Her eyes were closed as she enjoyed her tea.

"I'm here mistress Elara, sorry if I kept you waiting." Spoke Gigi in a respectful voice.

Elara kept the cup of tea on the table in front of her and turned to Gigi. "You didn't keep me waiting at all Gigi, now did you study the books on ray I told you to?"

"Yes, mistress. I read them completely for the last 2 days."

"That's good, with that all the theoretical knowledge you could need for getting into the Persephone academy is completed. We will focus on the practical knowledge and training on using and learning ray now. Understand?"

"Yes mistress."

"Then, we'll get started with you learning your first 3-star ray."

On saying that, Elara pointed to the ground, and rotated her arm in a unpredictable motion which made the the area at she pointed distort, as if there was extreme amount of heat there.

Only thing Gigi could do was to look with awe as something terrifying appeared in her vision.

Shin and Lapis returned to the rest of the party. They were all standing around the grill Kasogi had set up earlier. The aroma around it was mouth watering.

"We're back guys, is the food done?" Yelled out Lapis as she ran to everyone, Shin followed behind her in a normal pace.

"Yeah, you've come at the perfect time." Replied Kasogi as he was serving the meat to others on plates made out of some sort of wood. Lapis and Shin joined in and got the food.

Lyra, Shin and Lapis were standing together. While Flaine was eating while sitting leaning against the large tree tree. Kasogi was still cooking.

"Kasogi is a real good cook. Dig in dear student." Said Lapis as she took a bite of the meat.

"Yeah, he cooks real good. Try it Shin." Lyra added in, as she took a bite as well.

Shin too took a bite of it, he found the meat to have a different flavour than the one's he ate in his previous world.

It's probably the meat of some new animal that doesn't exist in my world, he thought as he ate it.

Taste wise he found the meat to be average compared to what he ate normally, not as good as Lyra and Lapis described it.

"So, how is it?" Asked Lyra, her face still stuffed with meat.

"It's quite alright." Replied Shin normally.

"Alright huh, that's a surprising response considering how good Kasogi's cooking is."

Kasogi came to them with more food and served them on their plates. "We should enjoy the food for now, its rare to get such feasting time while traveling."

Lapis finished her food and tossed away the plate, as soon as she did that the plate turned to dust. "Right, we need to pick up our pace to reach the next town quickly so we can participate in the acceptance exam. It's gonna be our first step into getting in the academy dear Student."
