"I'm sorry Mr. Gaviel for the disruption." She mumbled, looking away.

Pushing the male away since there was no use of dead weight, Mr. Gaviel let out a sigh of relief.

"You were awesome!" Gia whooped, seeing nothing wrong in what Lumina had done.

It was fun to watch those who thought they had a say in what goes around in the academy just because they were of a higher rank.

This wouldn't be the first time Lumina had stood up for her and this had earned her admiration.

Her high spirit was cut short by the glares she got for her praise. The majority of them were put in danger just because of how 'awesome' Lumina was.

The chairs and floor began to return to how they were. It was the magic of one of the other teachers who had been silent all through the ceremony.

Her brown hair flew around wildly as she covered all the damaged parts with her brown aura.

She was wearing an orange jumpsuit, which features a halter neckline, a cinched waist, and elongating wide-leg pleat trousers. A black belt around her slender waist. A pair of black pumps.

Her hazel eyes focused on what she was reconstructing. Oblivious to the stares her way.

Some of the students were mesmerized by the beauty of the teacher. She had earlier sat at the far end of the teachers' long line of seat upfront.

Now they wondered why she had never made herself more pronounced as she did. Fact that this was the first time they had seen her, they looked to Mr. Gaviel for answers, trying to clarify what they thought of her position.

"That is right, she is the replacement of Mrs. Neider."

"Miss Leah." Mr. Gaviel called on her attention.

"Give me a moment." She called back, exerting more of her energy to cover the hole that had been created by the lighting.

Raising her hands upwards, she sealed the holes in the roofing.

"Ha! Done!" She stretched, deactivating her ability.

Whipping her hair back, animated sparkles circled her face as the students watched.

"Hello students, it's nice to meet you." She timidly waved her hand, pulling it down immediately.

To her discomfort, the majority of the students looked at her with big lovestruck eyes.

"Uhh!" She sweatdropped, looking at Gaviel for some help.

Ahem!

"Gia, could you move forward? We still have four more to go." Mr. Gaviel walked back to the lectern.

"Right!" Gia scurried past the others.

"I need you all to know that this isn't my decision but approved names suggested and picked out of the numerous students by the organization." Mr. Gaviel exaggerated.

Deep down he knew the truth, but that was far from telling them in his current situation.

If they could believe this excuse, that was all he needed to buy out the time he needed.

"If you have any other objection to the names called, I would suggest you take it up against the organization." Mr. Gaviel said, trying to give them a scare.

Pleased with the fact that it had some hold on them as they had their eyes wide with shock.

"Okay, let's move further..."

"Who are we going to have next, Lumina?" Arion blurted out, rolling his eyes at the suggestion he had given.

'Are you trying to court death?' Mr. Doliu's brows twitched in annoyance at the constant interruption by this arrogant student.

Mr. Gaviel smiled at his words, "in fact, yes. Lumina, could you join the others?"

Lumina sighed, knowing she would be picked, this was something she had known for quite some time. Mr. Zhao had already assured her that she would make it when the graduation was held.

"Thank the heavens!" Arion rose to his feet, raising his hand in happiness at the news, glad to rid himself of the pain in his side.

The other students dared not speak, they knew what he meant and were glad they would be given a fresh and normal start at the academy with the move of Lumina.

Her presence was even more dominating than Nix. They felt admiration and respect for Nix, but Lumina on the other hand was induced respect through fear.

Mr. Gaviel raised his brow at the attitude shown by Arion which riled up his anger.

'Don't be too happy about this.'

He looked down at the remaining names, these were of students that had done exceptionally well during the spar session.

'Cara, Solis, Luna.' He read in his thoughts, coming up with a wicked plan.

'Cara... Cara... Cara...' he repeated in his thoughts, thinking of the next plan of action.

She had been the one who had faced Gia in the duel, this might not end too well if Cara still held grudges for what had happened that caused their humiliating draw.

'Presto chango!' He said gleefully in his mind.

Secretly placing his hand over the paper a faint glow coming off it, he duly replaced Cara's name with Arion.

"The fun isn't over, Arion." Mr. Gaviel smiled. "Care to know whose name's next?"

Arion straightened his posture, clearing his throat and nodding.

"You, my friend, won a one-way ticket to the organization as the fifth candidate," he said with a wide grin. "Isn't that just great?"

"What?!" Arion exclaimed in disbelief.

Although he was ecstatic about the news of being chosen, he also thought about the fact that he was still going to see and be forced to interact or work with Lumina in the future.

He had not grown his ability to her level, this would be part two of the bullying in that sophisticated environment.

'Humiliation is looming!' His thoughts declared.

Nix was also present, which would only spell doom to him if he gets in his bad book just because of Lumina.

"You are the fifth," Mr. Gaviel clapped his hand, "step forward to join the others.

He sweatdropped, feeling this was some sort of punishment for his active words during the ceremony.

Looking to the side to get a glimpse of Lumina, she had her thumb gently glide across her neck, giving him a death glare.

Gulp!

"Arion?" Mr. Gaviel cut into his thoughts, a mischievous grin on his lips.
