A Heroine Is Born! (#7)

Excited about our new spells we went straight for the Magical Arcade. Practice is everything, right? And Saphira really wanted to become a pro magician. I wasn't even sure why I attended this university in the first place, to be utterly honest.

I simply got an invite roughly seven months ago and my parents urged me not to waste this chance. "Chiosa, it's THE Ancient Academy! Only the best go there! That's your chance ..." they told me. I wasn't too keen on practicing but the best part was the incredibly tasty ice cream we enjoyed afterwards at he Arcade Café, anyway! 

Upon arriving at the Magical Arcade, we heard a sudden "DING" from the Magical Shooting Range near the entrance. A huge mass of students is standing there, crowding around one particular participant, jumping and clapping their hands. "What's going on there?", Sapira asked: "Well, only one way to find out!" Grabbing me by the arm she pulls me towards the front row.

I remember it like it happened just moments ago: The crowd was rushing for the piled up freebies, the items he won. It was then when I saw him for the first time. A guy with jet black hair holding a magical sword in his hands like humans need to use. He just broke the Arcade's record, which explained the sound we heard earlier. He did not care about his winnings at all, leaving them for the horde of his fans. When he turned around our eyes met. It was then when I looked into those stunning blue eyes for the first time.

But he went on opening a bag with colorfully mixed tiny beans, throws one into the air, catches it with his mouth ... and leaves the Arcade without another word or look. "Woah, he reached the high score", Saphira says admiringly - pulling me back from my thoughts to the here and now: "But let's see, maybe I can beat him!" And with these words she starts shooting spells at the targets like crazy.

I wasn't entirely sure what to do next...
​
1. Go visit Shiva in the PTC. I miss my lil' owl.
2. Play another game at the Arcade. It might be fun!
3. Go back to the dormitory. I am so tired!
4. I secretly follow that guy. I really want to know more about him!
