'Let's see how you get out of this one, now!' Mr. Gaviel thought with a smirk.

It was best to push all the blame on Zhao before his departure. At the very least, the students would still have the luxury of speaking with him once in a while.

Lank had a gloomy look all the while, sitting at the far end on the right.

His eyes searched the crowd for Gia. When he had seen the distinctive ombré blue hue which she had rolled in a messy bun, he let out a sigh.

'You little devil!' He hissed in thought about what Lumina had caused.

He occasionally stared daggers at her, remembering what had transpired two days ago.

Lumina rubbed the back of her neck, suddenly feeling she was being watched.

Scanning through the crowd, she turned her head in just the right direction to lock gazes with Lank.

He was fuming, his chest visibly rising and falling as he tried to keep his anger in check.

Bringing out her tongue and blowing a raspberry, she turned around and pretended nothing ever transpired between them.

Lank's lips fell open, visibly disturbed by what she had done, but his actions were cut short by the booming voice of Mr. Gaviel.

"Let's begin with the number of students chosen for this."

He flipped another page, read through it quickly, and looked back up.

"The number of students chosen for this year's graduation is seven–a lucky number, if I do say so myself." Mr. Gaviel prided on his ability as a magic user and its significance.

Silence followed right after again.

Covering his nervousness with a chuckle, his eyes searched the crowd for students in question.

"Nix..."

Getting to his feet, he stretched out his hands, giving a view of his black fingerless gloves.

He was wearing a black leather jacket with a gray top underneath. A denim pants which was ripped on the knees and tucked in a biker boot.

The female students swooned over his looks and the air of charisma he gave out, giving a cheer on what he had managed to achieve in such a short time since he joined the academy.

"Pathetic!" Nix muttered under his breath, pushing his way towards the front.

He had his hands clasped and behind his head. He had a stoic expression, whistling to stall his boredom.

Lank let out a chuckle at the attitude that Nix was putting up, that was surely the kind of friend he wished to maintain.

"Lank..."

There was a collective gasp from the other students who had heard his name being mentioned.

As expected, whispers of side remarks erupted.

"Why was he chosen?"

"Good thing we wouldn't be bothered by his presence anymore."

The corner of his lips twitched uncontrollably. The undue hate was starting to get to him.

"Shut your pie hole, he was chosen, so he must have more skills than your sorry ass." Gia snapped, springing to her feet and glaring at the female who had made such a remark.

Lank's mood brightened, this was the same Gia that had caught his fancy.

Gia gave a thumbs up, smiling. "You can do this!" She mouthed.

Nodding his head to her words, he got up in preparation to meet Nix upfront.

"Gia," Mr. Gaviel cut in, surprising everyone.

They all stiffly turned in the direction of Gia who was as shocked as they were.

"Me?" She pointed at herself in disbelief.

"Mr. Gaviel don't you think there's a problem with the names chosen?" A male higher rank A magic user objected.

"Fae would have been in a better position for this, but no one seems to notice she isn't present at this ceremony." He looked around, bringing the other students' attention to that one simple truth.

"What the hell do you have to say Lumina, she is your closest friend, you don't seem worried by the poor choices in replacement of your friend."

'You just played with lightning, you moron!' Nix facepalmed, already knowing where this was going to lead.

Zinn!

Lightning broke through the roof, coming down at top speed.

Students jumped away in a bid to escape the direct destruction that was to follow coupled with the target of the one who had triggered her anger.

Boom!

Smoke and dust erupted.

Cough!

Cough!

The higher rank A male trembled upon seeing glowing green eyes amidst the smoke.

"Lumina, that's enough!" Mr. Gaviel yelled in a loud voice.

Activating his ability, he illuminated the whole area so everyone could visibly see amidst the smoke.

He could only blame himself for not clarifying what had happened to the whole class.

"There are some who are beyond redemption!" Lumina hissed in response to Mr. Gaviel, boiling in rage as she tried to locate the male that had spoken.

"He didn't know, none of them did and that was my mistake." Mr. Gaviel spoke slowly, trying to appeal to her reason.

They didn't need any explosive energy at the moment. Even Nix wasn't much of a problem as she was.

Sprinting to the male in question, he pushed him just in time before another lightning that broke through the roof could aim at him.

"Fae got caught up in the crossfire of Mrs. Neider, she's gone and it would be best to know your facts before you judge anyone." Mr. Gaviel yelled so everyone could hear.

Lumina's rage subsided at the revelation of those words, although she knew the true situation of things, it was best to keep it that way.

All who did not know of this were visibly shaken by this news and could only feel empathy for what Lumina must be going through.

"Now apologize!" Mr. Gaviel pulled up the student, turning his head so he could visibly see Lumina at a good distance.

"I'm sor–"

"Save it for those who are interested!" Lumina spat, turning around to get back to her seat.

Once she sat down, she looked around at the shocked expression of the other students who were all standing and watching her.
