Alex rose early, packing her belongings into her ring and donning her mage robe. Closing the magic book on the table, she descended to the second floor, where Ruby was resting.
"Wake up, sleepyhead. We're leaving."
Ruby bolted upright, her hair a mess, and rushed over. "Really? We're finally leaving?"

Alex nodded, and with Ruby also cloaked in black, they left the mage tower and headed towards the main hall. But before leaving, they had to see the Vice President and return the magic book.
Knock, knock!

"Vice President, I have finished studying the earth magic book and came to bid you farewell."
