"Do you think we're ready for our presentation?" asks Syl a little nervously. "I'd believe so," says Machiv. "I made sure that all the spelling was correct, the resources were cited, and the pictures weren't weird," says Hala, counting off on her fingers. "I think we'll be fine," I say, "I mean, we've done our best, and from what I'm guessing the presentation will get us a B at least." "I thought you were going to say an A at least," says Syl laughing. "That too," I say with a smile. "I don't think it's that pressing to be concerned about this presentation," says Machiv calmly, brushing through his hair with his gloves on, "this presentation only influences fifteen percent of this quarter's grade. The test will be more." "You say that as if the presentation is not anything," says Syl witheringly. "I perceive it as such." "Well, you and Hala are little brainiacs." "I was going to say Machiv was a little brainiac." "You all are pretty smart," says Machiv, looking

Tapping my pencil on my hand, I try to concentrate another time on the exact answer to this question. I swear it had to do with something I did go over already. Not to mention, since this is my favorite subject of Majestic Theory, I should be able to answer this question. Our of some frustration, I decide to skip and circle back around to this question in particular. It seems to be a good idea, since I answer a handful of question before another difficult one appears. And it's one I have to write out an answer to, raising the difficulty a little. What exactly is implied when magic is either 'secular' or 'religious'? Contemplating for a moment has me recalling the time I studied this with everyone, I try to write out the exact reason as best as I can. Glancing up at the clock on the wall and the time written for when this test ends on the chalkboard, I do some quick math that reveals around twenty minutes left. In the eighty minutes that was allotted, it's getting to the last

"Just a mild question, but do you happen to have a large family?" I ask Leonard as we ride a bus from the town CCMS is in to the one over where Leonard's family is. "It's not a big family, actually," answers Leonard with a grin, "just me in the middle of my two brothers." "Do they go to CCMS?" I ask curiously. "Actually, they do," says Leonard with a smile, "well, my older brother, Sandro, already graduated from CCMS, since he's four years older than me. He's right now in a university, but he's probably back for they break." "It's somewhat sad that we can only stay a few days at your place," I say, noting a sad fact, "only a day after Christmas." "Well, I think it'll be alright with just five days," says Leonard, "I sometimes can get too much of my family, as they can be hectic sometimes." "I'm still excited to meet your family, all the same," I say. "Also," I say while leaning my head on his shoulder while the bus drives quietly along and soft bumps rock the bus gently

"I'm glad that you enjoyed coming by my house to visit my family," says Leonard, smiling at me while we walk around the hallways and head toward our classes. "I'm glad that I got invited and was able to enjoy the time," I answer with my own bright face, "your family is pretty fun, to say that least." "Really? I thought they were pretty introverted, and weren't exciting," says Leonard with a raised eyebrow and sideways glance. "True. But, I'd say being an ambivert it doesn't matter what they were. They were still nice all the same." "Mom can't wait until you come by again," says Leonard as we enter the first class, which is majestic sheory since the student schedules seemed to have changed around a little, "Dad and Cameron can't either." "It's a shame I didn't get to meet Sandro, but next time, I suppose." "Yeah. He couldn't make it back, but that's Sandro for you," says Leonard with a laugh. On the board is a message written, saying we can all move around and sit

"How do you feel about that match coming up?" I ask Syl as we pack up in math class, the third time since we got back from break. We get ready to head over to lunch. "I feel somewhat confident," answers Syl, "Lu and I as long as we aren't bickering, we can pull some tricks. And, my seniors usually let us in games. My team actually doesn't have that many members in the grades above us, so that might explain why the freshmen can play often." "That's true for the girls team, too," says Hala, "I heard most of our seniors in the girls team say the reason for that is CCMS isn't that strong at basketball, so we usually don't gave that many." "Until our grade," says Syl, "we've won a good number of matches." "Hey, you boys could to better," says Hala, "we won six out of nine." "Well, you've had less," says Syl, "we've done twelve. Seven out of twelve sounds pretty good to me." "I still think you could do better," says Hala, "I mean, you did say a while back that you and Lu were

"So, we just get called from our classes and then we head off, and I guess come back?" I ask, and Hala nods. "That seems to be the drill," says Hala, "I think they call a group of kids. and then they head off to see the observers." "It's making me a little nervous," I admit. "Nothing to sweat about," says Syl, "I'm sure they won't bite." "I'm just glad that they don't grade us. I would get the biggest F in the world." "Don't say that out loud," says Hala while cackling. "I'm sure it'll be fine," says Leonard. Sitting in home room, everyone around me talks and we converse while waiting to get called to the observers. Apparently, the observers are in the Great Hall and in the gym, and they call kids from the 6 classes. By now, I've figured out that the freshman kids are in rooms with 62, and then are designated by the first six letters of the alphabet. "It's in alphabetical order, I'm guessing?" I ask, and smile, saying, "I mean, if it was by grade score, it'd be prett

"You brought your sheet with you?" I ask Hala, and she nods while showing it to me. "You betcha," says Hala, "I've got questions." "Same," I say. I spot Leonard come in, and wave and smile at him, and he comes over, mirroring my reaction and waving and smiling. "Hey, Revel," says Leonard, and gives me a quick hug, "you excited for today's class?" "Definitely," I say, "I mean, who wouldn't after the observations?" "I managed to translate the name of my identity, but I'm not distinctly sure how it relates to me," says Leonard, to which I can't help but agree. "If it makes you feel any better, I don't either," says Hala. "Yeah," says Hank, who joins us, "I'm banking on Mrs. Loop being her usual self and explaining things way over my head." "Does that mean you don't try at all in understanding anything?" asks Machiv a little bluntly. "No! I always try my best," says Hank. "I'd hope so," says Leonard with a laugh. Right on time, Mrs. Loop comes in and smiles at us

In history class now, I'm again trying to keep up with the course. Not that the course is moving at a breakneck speed, but it's more of large boulders of information that come in uneven rhythms that shoulder me with knowledge I need to process. Glancing over at Keito, I wonder if he's keeping up. Observing his even letters and writing that is notated carefully but not speedily, I'm certain he's not sweating to comprehend any of the content being shared. His usual masked face doesn't reveal his emotions, but his calm mellow personality is constant, so I don't have to try and pry. We had a seating change, since Mr. Kean, like many of the other teachers here at CCMS, thought it'd be a good idea to shift around so that everyone can feel something like a reset to renew their focus during class. I thought it was smart, and like Mrs. Loop's class, everyone just sat down where they wanted to with whoever. Being somewhat lonely in Mr. Kean's history class, save for Keito, I just asked
