Cam, Twig and Leo make it down the ladder and they finally get a good look at the quaint town that was below them all along. "Whoa, I didn't notice earlier, because of the randits, but this place is awesome!" says Cam. They explore the town, seeing the local merchants, food vendors, and more. Twig wanders off, taking in all the local scenery, but she bumps into a young elf boy with dark blue hair, an oversized coat and a large wizard's hat.

"Oh sorry, I wasn't paying attention", the young elf boy mutters under his breath. Twig helps him up and says "It was my fault, don't worry about it."

Cam catches up to Twig and says to the boy "Hey, sorry about her. You okay?". The boy responds positively, but is interupted by the sound of a bell, "Oh no! I'm late, again!" exclaims the boy as he runs towards the sound of the bell.

Cam, due to the lack of sleep, starts dosing off. But he is caught by Pollie, Twig's best friend. Pollie is a half fairy girl with hazel colour hair and small green wings. Twig grabs some coffee beans sold by the merchant and forcefully feeds them to Cam. Cam, with a sudden jolt of energy screams "Yeah! Oh, I'm back!!"

Twig notices that the elf boy left his wand behind. "Hey Cam, that guy left his wand behind, let's go deliver it.". Cam, full of energy, rapidly runs to the nearby magic school, following Pollie's lead.

At the Sylona Academy for Magical Excellence, Winston, the elf boy, runs into class, over an hour late. He enters the class, only to find that he had missed the first class. "Aw man.." sighs Winston as he walks out of the class.

During recess, Cam arrives at the school, along with Pollie and Twig, and sees Winston being bullied by three upperclassmen. One of the upperclassmen, Deuse, conjures a fire spell and says "Heh, I bet burning your face would improve it a little.". One of the upperclassmen, Claria, says "Good one, Deuse."

Suddenly, Cam's sword knocks Deuse's wand out of his hand. "Leave my friend alone!" exclaims Cam.

Deuse looks down at Cam and smirks "Oh? Is this one of your friends, Dorkston?", Deuse says to Winston. Winston, stuttering with his head down in despair, quietly tries to get Cam to leave.

Cam draws his wooden sword and taunts the bullies. "Yeah, he's my friend! Let him go!". Deuse tells Claria to attack Cam, which she does. Claria launches an air ball attack at Cam, which he narrowly evades. "Stay still, you runt!", Claria says as she continues firing at him.

Cam continues dodging the air attacks, steadily readying his attack. He dodges one more, and slams his sword down onto Claria's hand, not only knocking the wand out of her hand, but breaking her fingers. Claria screams in pain, and cries for Deuse's help. Deuse releases Winston and wields his wand. "Ugh! Do I have to do everything myself!?", screams Deuse as he activates a fire speel, aimed at Cam.

Deuse launches a fireball all Cam and just as he is about to evade, his body gives out due to the lack of sleep and he collapses. Just before the fireball impacted, Winston uses a peculiar spell to repel the fireball.

Cam looks up at Winston and thinks to himself "Whoa, this guy's amazing!".

Deuse shouts in frustration "What!? How did you..?". Winston turns around in embarrassment, but Cam holds his shoulder and challenges Deuse "Hey Deuse! We challenge you to a duel!", but he passes out due to exhaustion. Winston stands alone as Deuse walks closer to him, wearing a menacing grin on his face.

He leans closer and says "I evoke a Witches Duel!".

All the students around them collectively gasp in shock.

Later, at a closed off arena, Deuse stands on one side, surrounded by admirers. However, on the other side, Winston stands, shivering in fear. He looks back at Twig and Pollie and whispers "Help me!". The duel can only end when one of them leaves the arena. The match begins and Deuse immediately launches a flurry of fire attacks at Winston. He quickly evades in fear, narrowly avoiding the onslaught. Deuse launches even more fire balls at him, and Winston quickly repels it to the side. Deuse says to Winston, "Give it up, Dorkston. You're all out of mana." as he charges the biggest fireball yet. Winston stands in silence, thinking to himself "What was I thinking? Why would I even try to be..more?", however throughout all the panic, Cam's drowsy voice stands out. "Winston..you..Got..this...", he says as he drifts off to sleep. Deuse launches the fireball, but Winston starts waving his wand in a wavy, circular motion, creating a circle of magical power. Winston, while confused, still uses it to block the fireball. Deuse increases the amount of mana in his attack and pushes the attack down onto Winston, but he pushes back with more force. The clash eventually explodes, decimating the battle field.

The dust clears to reveal Winston laying on the ground, he gets up to see Deuse standing, wearing his signature smirk. "Ha, did you think you would beat me!?" he chuckles. However, Winston smiles as he looks where Deuse is standing. Deuse looks at his feet, only to see that he was unknowingly forced off the arena floor.

"What?!" Deuse exclaims as he contemplates his loss. The school's headmaster walks up to Winston and says "Congratulations, dear boy. You've mastered a sacred form of magic, thought to be extinct for centuries.", as he helps him up. "You may have more magical potential than you know." he adds. Winston receive a wave of adoration and cheers from his fellow students.

Later, that day. Cam and Winston meet outside the school gates to bid goodbye. "Hey, so are you feeling okay?", Winston asks. "Yeah, I got a great nap. I'm all charged up." Cam replies. Winston, holding his wand in excitement and pride, says "You were right, I was strong enough." Cam smiles as he revels in his victory. Twig and Pollie call Cam, telling him that it's time for him to continue his journey. "Journey? To where?", Winston asks. Cam explains why he is traveling, to find his long lost mother and to see the world. Cam stands up, ready to set off. Winston stands up as well, "Hey, um..can I come with you?". Cam, surprised, asks "Are you sure? What about your studies?". Winston explains that since he is practicing a long lost form of magic, Spell circle Magic. "Since not even the headmaster knows about it, I figured I'd research it as we travel around the world." Winston says. Cam, tears in his eyes, says "Okay! Let's go, we'll search the entire world!"

They set off, after Winston announces his departure to his family. They take one final look at the magic school, to see Deuse cheering for Winston. Winston smiles and takes his first step into the unknown.
