2 days before the entrance exam, after john's light stance training. Master receives an unexpected visit 

"Yo" Says the guy as he approaches the training field 

Master without saying anything, looks at him, as if she had expected his arrival 

"Come on now, don't be so cold, Sister." He says with a smile 

------------------------------------------ 

"John?!" 

"H-Hey eleanor!" I said with a nervous smile 

H-How do I get out of this situation... She might misunderstand... 

"W-W-What are you doing here?" She asked while flustered 

"W... Well... You see... You've been in your room for so long, and everyone was getting worried so... I came to check up on you..." I said 

Crap... Who would believe that? I must look like a creep right now... 

"O-Oh... Thank you..." she said while she let out a sigh 

What? 

"You're not mad?" I asked 

"N-Not really, It was sort of my fault too... But! I didn't want you to see me like this!" She said with flushed cheeks 

Phew... I thought for sure something bad was going to happen... 

"Hm? I don't mind" I replied 

"But I do!" She said still embarrassed about what was happening 

"why?" I asked 

"B-Because, I don't look very tidy right now... it's embarassing!" 

Well I guess a girl wouldn't want someone to see them while their hair is messy or when they're not at their greatest but... 

"I mean, sure your hair is a bit messy and you look a bit tired, but I mean we all have our days" 

"Eh? You're not disappointed?" She asked 

Disappointed? 

"For what?" I asked 

"For what? You know... After seeing this side of me..." She muttered 

Ah... Eleanor is the daughter of a noble, her mother must have been very strict about the way she looked 

"Not at all, no one is perfect, and besides, it��s proof of your hard work so you should be prouder." 

Eleanor who heard this, started to tear up 

S-She's crying? What did I do wrong this time? 

"I... I didn't get in with you guys... I was useless..." 

I didn't know what to do when she started crying, but after hearing her, call herself useless i instinctively gave her a pat on the head, although we are the same height. 

"I doubt those two thought you were useless, and if anyone thinks you're useless, just keep practising and prove them wrong." 

Serena and Ariel have gone through multiple life-threatening situations, it's not unusually to think down on yourself when you get compared to them. Not to mention they have chant less magic. 

Without saying anything she wiped her tears, she then looked straight at me 

"I-Is there something on my face?" I asked 

"John... Are you really 12?" She asked 

Ehhh, did I act too mature? I mean I'm technically 14 but... 

She kept staring at me with a determined look on her eyes 

"Ha..." I let out a sigh "To be honest, I'm not sure. I lost my memories" 

"What? Your memories...? That means you don't remember anything? Not even your family?" She asked 

"Yeah..." 

"Ah... I'm sorry..." She said with a worried expression 

"But I'm fine, I'm sure one day, I'll remember and find them" 

"Is that why you became an adventurer?" She asked 

"I-I guess... Although I mainly wanted to explore the world," 

And I needed to make a living 

"Exploring the world... So that's how you met Serena and Ariel?" 

Well sort of... 

"Well me and Ariel became adventurers at the same time, and for serena We met while we were travelling." 

"Must be nice..." She muttered 

"Hmm... I want to show you something, but you have to promise to keep it a secret." I said as I grabbed on to her hand 

"Okay, I promise. But what are you- 

Before she could finish, I placed my finger on her lips and gestured her to be quiet, with flushed red cheeks she quickly nodded and I started fake chanting, I had also cast Silentium at the same time. 

When the chant was finished, I muttered, "Furtim" 

From our perspective, nothing had changed and we could still see each other but from another person's perspective... 

"Hmm... their presence disappeared..." Said the head maid as she entered 

She looked around the room and confirmed that there was no one here 

"Hm, If she's with him, they should be fine, and besides, it works in favour of the plan." Said Kurt 

"Understood" Said the maid before leaving the room and closing the door 

Eleanor opened her mouth to say something, but was surprised no sound came out. Seeing this I pointed at the window while gesturing that we should leave 

Not being able to speak, she nodded. 

We walked up to the window and opened it, at the same time, The door to the room opened once again 

It was the maid, she looked around the room once more as if trying to confirm something 

"I don't remember the windows being open, earlier. Young miss are you here?" She asked as she walked up to the window 

As there was no response, she looked outside of the window, but no trace of either of us could be found. 

She closed the windows and left the room, but by then, we were already floating outside 

I deactivated silentium and propelled us further and further up into the sky 

"EHH!? J-John! W-Wait! Wait a minute!" 

"Ah, are you afraid of heights too?" I asked 

"N-no not that! H-How?!" 

"Ah, it's a long story, let's fly around for a bit first" 

I cast velox and propelled us through the clouds in the sky, the feeling of being in the air was as great as always, not to mention the nice cool breese. 

The nervous expression on eleanor's face slowly changed into a happy one after we flew around for a while. 

From our location the moon was clearly visible, it was a beautiful sight, I'm sure Serena and Ariel would've wanted to see it from here 

"Are you feeling better?" I asked 

"better?" 

"Mhm, you looked a bit down so I thought this would cheer you up, but you can't tell anyone" 

"Why?" 

"What" 

"If it's something that you're supposed to keep as a secret, why put it at risk by telling me?" 

"Hmm... because you were sad?" 

After she heard this, with a chuckle she asked "That's it?" before she said "Serena was right... You're too trusting..." with a small smile 

"Haha... not really..." I muttered 

"Hey john..." 

"Yeah?" 

"Close your eyes" 

"Hm? Why?" I asked as I closed them 

Shortly after, I felt the sensation of a flick on my forehead 

"Ow..." I said as I opened my eyes 

Her fingers right were in front of my face as I asked "What did I do to deserve that...?" 

"You were open" She said with a smile
