On the following morning at the Santania School's Omni-Class, Mila shared her plans with her family early in the day. She had been anxious about her father's potential disapproval. To her surprise, once he learned she would be apprenticing under Alex, he not only consented but was visibly pleased, proud of his daughter's ambition.
The formalities for transferring schools were quickly handled by her family, allowing Mila to head straight to Santania School.
At this moment, Isabella and Wendy, the two official disciples, were seated in the front row, eagerly anticipating the arrival of Alex. Mila chose a seat at the back, her eyes roving curiously over her new surroundings and classmates.
Alex soon entered the classroom. His eyes briefly widened in surprise at seeing Mila, not expecting her so soon. Yet today, there was little for her to learn.
"Everyone, follow me to the formation room," he directed.
