...December 15, 2023...
...The fairies are finally entering the classrooms swinging their wands making jingling noises, signaling the end of class, the end of the semester. "Finally." says a brunette girl with black eyes wearing a green coat who sits by the window of the spacious room....
...Walking across the hallway, entering the library where her friends are waiting, the brunette was greeted with a group of upperclassmen. "See you next semester, I hope then, you'll learn your manners." the leader said walking past her while giggling. The brunette ignored them and went to her friends....
...~ Lily Ava ~...
...Hi, My name is Lily Ava Temima. I'm currently a second year college student of "The United University of Magic". I'm 19 years old. If you're wondering who the "upperclassmen" were, they're just the "Mean Girls" of this school....
...Flashback...
...On my first day, I just happened to bump into one of their members while I was rushing to get to class, at lunch they confronted me about it and said they won't take my apology. ...
...End of flashback...
...Ever since then they just go around talking bad about me. It's not like I care, I mean, it only made people ignore my existence for a week and plus it just shows that they got annoyed....
...~ Third Person ~...
..."So, what're your plans? Anyone got dates or something?" the tall boy wearing a red coat with black hair and eyes said. "I have neither." says the girl with black hair, diamond eyes wearing a red coat. "Unless you go out with me~" the girl exclaimed with a chuckle. The boy blushes slightly. "Did you bring me here to make me feel single?" says lily pouting. They both laughed while Lily continued to pout. ...
..."Shush!"...
...Says the librarian....
...~ Cade Kingsley ~...
...My name's Cade Kingsley Deucalion. I'm 20 years old, a second year college student of "The United University of Magic". That's all....
...~ Melanie Rose ~...
...Hey! I'm Melanie Rose Chausiku. I'm 18 years old, a second year college student same school as the other two. I hope you enjoy our story!...
...~ Third Person ~...
..."Sup." a tall boy with messy blonde hair and hazel eyes wearing a purple coat greeted. He looked at Melanie and smiled "How can you just sit there and look like a goddess?" Melanie looked at him and replied while tilting her head with a smile "Thanks". "Na-fall ka nanaman~ (You fell for her again)" said Lily, both her and Melanie giggled....
..."Haaahhh, you should be careful, y'know?" The boy said while walking towards Melanie, he held on to her chair, leaned and whispered "just in case you aren't aware, you're incredibly pleasing to look at." Melanie pushed him away "I'm touched that you're worried, but personal space please." She said as a warning. The boy laughed and Cade glared at him....
...~ Hayden Axton ~...
...The name's Hayden Axton Blaize. A second year, 19 years old. Same school as the pretty lady named "Melanie". ...
...~ Third Person ~...
...The uncomfortable atmosphere forced Lily to change the topic. "I'm going home this winter break, you?" Everyone looked at her. Melanie smiled and said "My cousin and brother's gonna be away for a while, so I'll accompany Uncle and Aunt." "I'll be staying." said Cade. "Such a shame you won't be here with us." Hayden said. He waited for Cade's reaction before exclaiming "Both of you." Lily rolled her eyes and told them her and Melanie needed to pack. They said their goodbyes and went to their dorm with Melanie clinging onto Lily's coat....
...- At the dorm -...
...After Melanie and Lily finished packing, a blonde girl with golden eyes wearing a red coat barged in and jumped on them, they crash down....
...Thud....
...~ Phoebe Dianne ~...
...Hello, I'm Phoebe Dianne Kiana, 19 years old. I'm a second year college student at one of the most prestigious mage school in the world, "The United University of Magic"....
...~ Third Person ~...
..."Phoebe!!"...
...Melanie and Lily said in sync....
...After they settled down on the couch, Phoebe said "I'm sorry! It's just- I won't be seeing you guys for a while!!" Lily sighed and said "I've been inviting you to join us every holiday but you keep saying "no"!! My parents don't mind I swear!!" Phoebe replied "I know! But I wanna continue my brother's research.. And possibly finish it before I graduate! You know my brother.. Didn't got to achieve that dream.. So I'll do it for him!!"...
...Melanie hugs Phoebe from behind....
..."You're so sweet I'm gonna die!!"...
..."We promise to help you once we get back." Melanie exclaims with a bright smile....
..."Ok then, take care Dianne! Just be careful not to stray when looking for ingredients!!" Lily says joining their hug....
...".. Thank you."...
...- Phoebe...

...Hello! Author here. I just want to clarify what the colors of the coats mean; green coat, purple coat and red coat....
...What are the different colors for?...
...- the color of a student's coat shows whether the student's is moderate (Great), outstanding (Excellent) or advanced....
...~💚🧥 Green Coat 🧥💚~...
...- Moderate (Great): Students that just recently learned magic (or beginers) but have great potential....
...~💜🧥 Purple Coat 🧥💜~...
...- Outstanding (Excellent): Students that just recently learned magic (or beginers) but unlike the Moderate students, they learn magic in an incredible speed....
...~❤️🧥 Red Coat 🧥❤️~...
...- Advanced: Students that have been learning magic from their family (usually nobles and royalty). But some in some circumstances, a few talented students obtain this because of having not only an immense amount of mana but also the ability to learn magic in an incredible speed....
...Side note:...
...In case you forgot, this is a prestigious university. So it's only natural that the students here are talented....
~ Third Person ~
The days went by quickly as the holidays past, though something was bothering Lily..
"It's been weeks.. shouldn't it be arriving by now..?"

Lily sent a letter to Phoebe more than 2 weeks ago, it takes a week for the letter to get to the university and another week to receive it from there. Knowing Phoebe, she'd write back the moment she finishes reading it. "That's weird.." Lily thought.
~ Time skip ~
January 6, 2024
Lily was rushing through the hallway, going straight into their dormitory "It's open!" She thought as she entered. She looked to her left and saw a dim light coming out of the slightly opened door of Phoebe's study.
"Phoebe!!"
No answer.
"Phoebe..?!"
Still no answer.
"PHOE-"
"I heard you." Phoebe finally replied.
"Then why didn't you answer??" Lily said placing her baggage beside her bed. "I was.. deep... in thought." Phoebe slowly replied for she heard Lily's footsteps getting closer. As Lily entered the study, Phoebe suddenly stood up and turned "Anyway, welcome back!" she said with a smile.
Lily was surprised with the sudden change of her attitude but smiled back and hugged her. She was about to ask Phoebe something but Phoebe beat her to it. "Are you tired?" Phoebe asked "Very." Lily replied with a chuckle, before Lily could say anything else Phoebe said "Then we'll arrange your stuff tomorrow. Have you eaten yet?" "Yeah-" she didn't get to finish her reply when Phoebe quickly said "Great! Let's sleep, I'm beat!".
They both got ready for bed.
"I'll ask her tomorrow.." were Lily's thoughts before drifting to sleep.

January 7, 2024
I was sitting at the garden's tea table alone, a bit saddened that I won't be going back to the university early, as per my Uncle's request. "Probably because he has less paperwork to go through with me here." I thought. It's not like I mind though.
Anyway, closing my eyes I picture myself entering our dorm room..
Opening the white double door with golden handles, seeing the golden carpet, white walls and black ceiling, to be greeted by the large window with its black curtains tied to each side behind the brown couch showing a nice view of the forest. On the left side of the couch is a double decker bed, the top deck where I sleep is filled with my framed drawings of magical formulas up to the highest parts of the wall, with dark red pillow covers and black bedsheets. At the bottom bed you'll see light brown pillow covers and old rose colored bedsheets with a few arranged plushies, Phoebe's bed. On the right of the couch you'll see a single bed with light green pillow covers and white bedsheets, with beautifully took photos of beautiful landscapes, plants and animals pinned to the walls of Lily's bed. From the door look to your left and you'll see Phoebe's study that's usually open, where stacks of books and research papers are to be seen. On the right you'll see a tall and wide white wooden cabinet, where we put all our belongings.
If you're wondering where we bathe and eat, there are separate places for that. There are four bathrooms and a large cafeteria in each floor.
The school's property is massive.
~ Third Person ~
"Haaaaaaaahhhhhhh, I wanna go back.." Melanie says out loud leaning back on the chair she's sitting on.
Melanie flinched.
"Whining again?" a tall muscular man with black hair and ruby like eyes wearing a slightly opened black robe appeared behind her without a single sound.
"I TOLD YOU TO STOP DOING THAT!!!"
She then sits properly. The man frowned "Is that a how you talk to your elders? Or do you just not respect me?" She didn't answer. The man pats her head rather roughly "Oww!!!" Melanie yelled in annoyance, the man just chuckles.

Back at the University.
Lily woke up alone in their dorm, after getting ready, she tried looking for Phoebe but failed so she ate breakfast alone. While eating a girl with red hair and hazel eyes wearing a purple coat approached her.
"..."
"Could this day get any worse..?"
- Lily
~ Aella Alohi ~
Aella Alohi Tempest, 20 years old, a second year college student of "The United University of Magic". A so called "prestigious" school filled with commoners. The old hag that runs this school somehow finds this amusing, while for me it's just pathetic.
To be continued...
~ Third Person ~
"Oh my, what's this peasant doing alone?~" Aella said with fake concern, "Has your friends finally ditch you?" She exclaimed. "She is running a bit late, how saddening." was Lily's reply "But I guess you got ditched yourself, since your talking to this lowly peasant." Lily exclaimed with a smile, trying to annoy Aella.
Aella laughed, "It's the other way around, actually. Though I appreciate that you know your place in this school. You should be thankful I've wasted my precious time to console you." Lily just wanted to be left alone, she smiled and said in reply "How sweet of you to waste both our times, your consolation was never needed and sickening." they both laugh, at this point everyone was staring at them. "I'll be going now, have a wonderful day." Aella said with a smirk.
"Great. I've lost my appetite."

It's cold.

"I should've.. told.. them.." Phoebe said before fainting.

Lily left the cafeteria without finishing her food. She went straight back to their dorm, to show the footage to their University's head.
Flashback
January 5, 2024
1:00 am
Before Lily went to bed, she made sure to attach the small magical recording device disguised as a charm that she made on her front zipper slider.
"The book from Dad I took inspiration from said it barely had presence... I'll just find out tomorrow." Lily said before turning it on, and going to bed.
End of flashback.
Lily is a very intelligent mage, even though she lacks talent in fighting and doesn't feel mana (she is not a field mage), she's an incredible support because of her amazing devices, and her strong healing magic.
~ Lily Ava ~
After taking the charm, I sat down on my bed and pressed the charm's head to open the footage. The device had a 3 hour cool down after it automatically turns off, it isn't properly developed yet, so once turned on it catches a whole 24 hours of footage. It's a camera so it has a full 360° view.
Anyway, after fast-forwarding that felt like an eternity, I finally found something interesting.
Around Midnight.
~ Third Person ~
The footage shows Phoebe as she stood up and went to her study. At exactly 12 midnight, red light flashed and she disappeared. Lily cut that part, saved it and rushed to the office. Just to be sure, she left a copy in the big cabinet.
Unfortunately, only the teachers who doubt her were there.
"Just my luck. Fantastic. Absolutely, fantastic."
After showing the footage and explaining, "The video was greatly edited, you should've joined the comic club." Professor Tacito said, a tall man with black hair and white eyes wearing a brown coat. "We will inform the head mistress about your work, the storyline was very interesting." Professor Sayna said with a smile, a tall woman with piercing red eyes wearing a white coat.
Lily felt mocked, but still thanked them and left, leaving the video at the office. She knew they wouldn't believe her. "I'm glad I made those copies." were her thoughts until she bumped into someone.
Thud.
"Just how unlucky can I get?"
"You ok?" Cade said reaching out his hand. Lily froze for a moment, "CADEEE!!" "Hey..?" Cade responded a bit startled. Lily quickly stood up, grabbed his arm and pulled him into their dorm, everyone in the hallway was staring at them.
".... Lily, y'know I'm not allowed here right..?"
"That doesn't matter right now! Look!" Lily quickly took the video recording and showed it to Cade, before she could explain, someone knocked on the door. Lily cautiously opened it
It was Hayden.
He looks behind Lily and spots Cade. "Are you out of your mind?" he immediately said. "Come in." Lily simply said "D'you know how fast rumors are??" "Just get in." Cade said a bit annoyed, but he knows he'll be big help. Rolling his eyes Hayden went in, the video played again and Lily explained.
