"Yeah I guess that's why we're here, I'm still not one hundred percent sure on what's going on, but I did come anyway. So how is this going to work?"

"You will find out in time," the girl said with a slight tone of contempt before she turned back to look at the sunset.

"Fools?" Markus spoke up finally, "Why? Is it dangerous? Is the magic rat duping us?"

The girl flipped her hair. "The magic rat is going to make all of your wishes come true and give you powers of gods. It's a perfect offer for fools like us."

"Fools, maybe... But everyone is, honestly..." He said this, mostly to himself, but also slightly in response to the girl.

She turned around, and looked Ryan straight in the eyes. "Indeed. You have much to learn, but you may yet grow strong."

'Maybe...Maybe you're spacing out again.' Felice thought as she realized that and quickly shook her head, finally paying attention in time to hear Ancia speak up. "Uh, yeah, who are you? Do you work for Qubus? Is she around? Do you know how is this going to work? Is Qubus just going to say a spell that'll turn us into magical warriors, or is there some sort of training program that'll slowly turn us into them? Also how do our wishes work? Is Qubus just going to snap her fingers...paws?...and give it to us, or are we going to have to work for it first? And what about those magical powers, are well all going to get the same ones or are each of ours different or-." Felice closed her mouth when she realized she was rambling again. "Sorry."

"Your eagerness is good, but could spell your doom if not controlled in time," The girl clad in black then said, and turned around. "I am not here to satisfy your need for answers, in any case."

"Why are you here then?" The girl with short brown hair finally spoke up after getting a hold of the situation. "Just trying to be creepy?"

The mysterious girl was at first silent. "I'm expecting someone," she then said as she was watching the sun fade into the horizon.

It was then that another girl's voice could be heard from the stairs. The girl with the short brown hair that was with your group turned back to the stairs and said: "Oh there you are, Marie. What took you so long?" 

"Sorry, Sofia. I dropped my bag and had to retrieve it." A shorter than average girl wearing red ribbons appeared from the stairs. Her hair was dyed a warm pink, and was dressed in a orange blouse and white skirt. She was carrying a white bag with a cute kitten picture on it.

"This time, huh..." The black-haired girl whispered under her breath.

"Wha-Julia? What are you doing here? And what's with that costume?" Marie asked.

"Wait, Marie, you know who this creep is?" Sofia asked, confused.

"Sure. She's in the same class as I am."

"Oh yeah, now that I think about it...you're the new exchange student from yesterday. I didn't recognize you in that getup." Sofia pointed at the black-haired girl. A moment of silence happened, until Julia responded:

"That is correct,", She then turned towards Marie, staring at her with more intensity than the others.

"Marie Schmidt, do you value your life?" She suddenly asked, with no change in inflection.

"Wha-" Marie was holding her mouth with her hands.

"Do you value the life of your family, or your friends?"

"I...Uh..." Marie was stuttering.

"Because if you do...you will never become a Magic Knight."
