After finishing the introductions and initiating breaktime, The young teacher walked behind her desk and sat down, taking out a different, thicker book than before and began writing something down in it.

  Once they heard it was breaktime the children cheered and hopped from their seats, gathering around each other, already forming friend groups. Three people were getting quite a bit more attention than the rest. Nina, Alice, and Aries.

  Nina was surrounded by both boys and girls. Though they seemed not to notice her military-like qualities, they naturally gathered around her as she held the aura of a leader.

  Both Alice and Aires were surrounded by boys and girls respectively. The reason was obvious. While they already had good looks, after becoming null both of them saw a leap in the quality of their looks. This made Alice draw the attention of the young boys who wish to impress her and Aries the young girls who want his attention.

  "Hi Aries! Do you want to be friends?"

  "No! Be friends with me!"

  "Do you like flowers? My Mommy grows alot! I can give you some!"

  "No!"

  "Me!"

  …

  …

  ..

  .

  Aries held the smile on his face but what was occurring before him left a deep confusion within him. Why are they fighting for his friendship? Haven't they just met? He looked over to Alice who didn't seem to fare any better.

  Unlike him though, Alice looked more annoyed than anything else.

  'Her too?'

  Suddenly, he felt his hand being grabbed and he almost retaliated but when he turned, it was a girl with brown hair and eyes and freckles across her face. She held the back of his hand and placed something wrapped in a pink and red wrapper in his palm and closed his hand on it with her other hand.

  "Take this. From now we are friends!"

  Aries could only look at her as she placed the piece of candy in his hand. His gaze traveled between his hand with the candy, her hand, and her constantly. In the end he didn't know what to say so he stayed silent and accepted his fate.

  This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it

  Taking his silence as agreement, she looked at the other girls with a triumphant smirk.

  "No fair!"

  "That's Cheating!"

  …

  ..

  .

  The girls protested but could accept defeat to the brown haired girl. Each of them took a seat and sat around Aries. The brown haired girl took the seat beside Aries where Noel was sitting before.

  Just realizing Noel was no longer sitting beside him, Aries scanned the room searching for him. Eventually his gaze landed on the group around Nina. Right beside her was no other than Noel, gazing at Nina with a peculiar gaze.

  '..?'

  'Why's he looking at her like that?'

  It seemed as though the fire in his eyes reduced to embers and his wildness became tamed.

  'Strange…'

  "Do you know about magic?"

  His ears perked up and he turned to the brown haired girl who brought his from his thoughts.

  'She knows about mystics?'

  He thought for a moment.

  'No, it's more likely that she has heard rumors and has read stories.'

  Yes, that's most likely it.

  'Still, this could be a good chance to learn what this world knows about magic, especially with that barrier. She is only a child though, I should expect much, if anything at all.'

  He looked up at her and tilted his head signifying his confusion.

  Seeing this, she smiled.

  "You see, my brother was lucky enough to be born a mage so I know more than most."

  That was possible?

  Looking at her, she seemed quite proud of herself for that fact. It was clear from the way she held her head high and placed her fist on her chest.

  "Ask away and I'll answer any question!"

  She looked around as she said this, notifying the girls that sat around them that they could ask as well.

  Realizing this, one of the girls, one with short black hair and simple glasses raised her hand.

  "Roanna!"

  Spinning around to face the girl, Roanna pointed at the girl who asked.

  "Ask away!"

  "Is magic actually real? I've only seen it in stories."

  Hearing the girls question Roanna looked offended as if she had been insulted to her face instead of bing asked a simple question,

  "Of course it is! I've seen it with my own eyes!"

  "How does it look then?"

  Another girl asked.

  "Well… It was like he could create the sky. He also made me fly."

  "What do you mean he could create the sky?"

  It was Aries who asked this time.

  Roanna's face lit up. Not only did she get to talk about her brother, it was Aries who asked about it, she couldn't be any happier.

  "One time he said he wanted to show me something and brought me to a dark room. At first I thought he was going to play a prank on me because I didn't believe in magic back then."

  She paused for a moment.

  "But what he showed me next changed the way I saw him. He only extended his hands but everything changed. The blue became blue like the sky and clouds appeared around us from no where, next thing I knew—"

  She abruptly stood up.

  "It was like Woosh, and I started to fly.'

  She started to make nonsensical gestures with her hands.

  "Then out of nowhere it became night and stars filled the room. My brother moved his hand around and all sorts of pretty lights appeared like fireworks."

  "Woah!"

  Everyone listening cheered in unison, mesmerised by their own Imagination.

  "It sounds pretty!"

  A girl said.

  "I was!"

  She replied.

  After that, the girls began to cheerfully chatter, Roanna praising her brother and telling similar stories the whole time. Aries sat with them, quietly listening to their conversation.

  Alice watched the whole thing, quietly ignoring the boys surrounding her.

  The whole time they were here she had one thought:

  'How bothersome."

  But when she overheard the girls around Aries telling those magical stories, she was captivated and another thought overtook her mind.

  'Could I do something similar?'
