Power and Goal

Students gathered on the academy's huge square, their faces glimmering with hope. But there were students who embraced no hope in the upcoming Tryout and looked sad.

Grimm stood in the crowd with the Hydra Greatsword on his back. Wrapped around his waist was the Void Pouch. His eyes underneath his Ashen Mask revealed weariness and yet he continued calculating formulas.

After his dance with Lefay last night, Grimm didn't choose to go out with her. Instead, he returned to his dorm and worked on the Fire Blast sorcery. Now he was doing his best in figuring out the third bond that could produce the destructive force. He reduced himself to the mysterious and low-key state as if last night was a dream.

Several sorcerers flew off from a high-rising dais. They started distributing weird-looking metal badges to the students. The badges were covered with special magical waves moving around.
