From Marcille's reading notes... I sat in on some 'Originium Arts' lectures. It's what they call magic here, and there are several different schools of it—my explosion magic falls under the School of Evocation. When it was Skyfire's turn to demonstrate, the class suggested we compare the differences between our magic. Afterwards, I caught the whiff of barbecue—they shared a skewer with me and made me swear not to tell Skyfire. I think she knew anyway, because the temperature around her shot up noticeably. Not to mention, it was cold that day, to the point Mint invited me to tag-team hug Skyfire. She was wonderfully warm at first, but quickly got a little too toasty! Familiar summoning falls under the School of Transmutation, which is where Originium energy is used to alter something's physical composition. The class was dying to see my familiars against Mudrock's Colossi in a tug-of-war, which we refused. However, someone mentioned a game called 'beast arenas', which aren't contests of brute strength, but a magician's wisdom and skill—now this we couldn't refuse. After eventually bringing a box into the room, we made our miniature familiar and 'rockbeast' respectively. Still, Mudrock didn't even need to lift a finger to control hers! I worked my butt off trying to win! ...... While listening to them chat after class, I discovered that Yan's Chief of Lungmen is reputedly extremely handsome, and his wife is the princess of a neighboring country. Not only does she ride motorbikes, but she also has a personal ninja maid! With love blossoming amidst the intricacies of politics, they must have faced countless challenges to be together. The family head even dispatched a ninja to capture the princess. The sight of the chief and the princess together in love moved the stoic and loyal ninja, prompting her to aid them, even if it meant sacrificing herself. On a dark and stormy night, the chief carved a bloody path with his sword to reach the captive princess's chambers. They dashed to her motorbike and screeched away from their pursuers into the night. The ninja, gravely injured while covering for them, faintly smiled as she watched them ride away and then closed her eyes... There's no doubt about it—that's exactly how it happened! And obviously, the chief and the princess went back later to save the ninja! I know the bookstall here has a tale of their love in stock. I'm going to get my hands on it! ...... I was only expecting a casual read. I had no idea of the truth... I'm noting down their profiles while I can! Wei Yenwu: The elder brother of Yan's Lung. Carries a red longsword on him. No one expected he'd fall in love at first sight with a foreign lady. Fumizuki: The Princess of Higashi. A free soul determined to rule her own life. Shirayuki: Loyal ninja. Would do anything for her princess. I'm bringing Falin this novel along with all the books on Arts theory! I just know she'll love it!
