After Headmaster Noril returned, Tigger, Zevien, and Vernisia went to him for Kerolin's matter.
"Headmaster, we have a very talented friend; she wants to enter the academy. I can guarantee that she definitely deserves a spot in this academy," Zevien said sincerely. "Once you see her capabilities, you will know."
"Although we usually don't take students halfway, there are always exceptions that we make each year," Headmaster Noril smiled. "Bring your friend here. If she passes the test, we can admit her."
"Um, I want to make her my partner," Tigger said with a hesitant smile before he quickly followed up. "Of course, she would also agree."
"I'll arrange it," Teacher Karina nodded with a smile. "What's the name of your current partner?"
"Uwan."
"I'll arrange for him a new partner since we will have to shuffle a bit because of recent expulsions. The next wave of expulsion will be in about six months later if students cannot meet our expectations."

At six in the afternoon, Tigger, Zevien, and Vernisia boarded the plane and left for Starlight city. They bought the tickets for an expensive magic jet plane from the town to reach the city in 2 hours instead of 6 hours so they can return on the same night.
After arriving in the city, Tigger called Kerolin and Zevien called Touma as he arranged for their potions. Before hanging the call, Touma asked, "When did you reach the city?"
Zevien—, "Just now, why?"
Touma—, "Ah, you missed only by half an hour. Old man Cargil is officially retired from here and will live in Astral Land to progress in his path of magic. He just left 30 minutes ago."
Zevien—, "Oh? Unfortunately, I couldn't meet him, but no worries, hahaha. We will catch up to him and you all quickly."
Touma—, "Indeed, this change in magic labyrinths is awesome. Everyone is progressing faster, haha. Alright, come to the lab as soon as you can. The serums are ready."
…
Twenty minutes later, Zevien and the others arrived at the lab. Touma started the process right away. The lab was now bigger because of renovation, with five beds in the glass chamber.
"How many people have got this boost so far?" Vernisia asked curiously after Tigger and Kerolin lay on the bed with the orb that manifested their magic eidos body physically.
"A total of thirty-eight," Touma answered with a grin before he injected the serums in Tigger and Kerolin's physical and magic eidos bodies. "It will be forty after these two get their boost."
"Any mishaps?" Zevien asked.
"Not mishaps, but someone died inside the magic labyrinth," said Touma with a wry smile. "This boost is good, but if you die inside, you die for real. After that incident, not many people want it for their kids."
"Ah, that indeed makes this a double-edged weapon," Vernisia nodded as she ruefully smiled. "Just recently, we were so close to death and are still close to death when we enter Zevien's 2nd magic labyrinth next month."
"That place is mysterious," Zevien said as a glint passed through his eyes. "When there's an opportunity, there's danger. We have to somehow overcome the danger and see what is in that castle. Of course, our first priority is to escape from that place because it's clear that we are currently too weak."
"What's your magic power now?" Touma asked curiously.
Zevien grinned and showed his Digi-watch's magic panel.
*****
[Zevien]
-Magic Power: 1086.7
-Mana: 10,867/10,867
-A.Magic Spells:- <Somatic Violet Four Vehemence>, <Blood Morphing Art>, <Blood Hook>
-Magic spells (Weaved): <Brilliant Burn>

"Only one magic spell weaved?" Touma asked with some confusion.
"Well, you know that I already have versatile spells because of my first awakening magic spell and my transformation of Tarto's powers. So now, I am learning a tier-4 magic spell."
"A tier-4 magic spell already?" Touma was a bit speechless. "It will take up your entire space in the magic core, and you will also need more mana. But I guess with that transformation, you can cast tier-4 spells. How much boost do you get with that transformation now?"
"It gives me 2300 magic power boost. If I tried to get more, it will affect my control."
"What about you, Vernisia? What's your progress?" Touma asked.
*****
[Vernisia]
-Magic Power: 977.7
-Mana: 9777/9777

"You both are pretty close to each other."
"Yeah, we are sharing resources," Vernisia nodded with a smile. "We both used one Gray-rank magic crystal and one Yellow-rank magic crystal. We still have one Yellow-rank magic crystal saved, as too much increase in magic power can disrupt your control of mana for a short time, and we have to get used to it by practicing."
"Yep, be careful about that. Don't use all magic crystals at once for a sudden power up," Touma nodded as he knew such cases. "Using two magic crystals is enough, and then you have to spend several hours practicing to regain your mana control."
*Groan!..Arghh…*
Everyone looked at Tigger and Kerolin as they were near the final stage.
"It's time," Touma nodded at Zevien.
Zevien moved in between Tigger's and Kerolin's bed before touching both of their foreheads with his hands and infusing his mana in them. This process is necessary so they can awaken their 2nd magic labyrinth with Zevien's powers.
"Tigger and Kerolin, resist the force that will send you to your new magic labyrinth! Don't enter there now. You can enter after we return to the academy, so resist it for now," Zevien said.
…
Everything was finished after ten minutes as Tigger and Kerolin opened their eyes, showing that they successfully resisted.
They left the lab right away, as they had to return to the academy quickly. Zevien and Vernisia didn't visit the orphanage, since it would disrupt the children. After all, they had just told them they won't visit them anytime soon before they left for the academy.
They returned on the jet flight and arrived at approx 11 PM.
"There's still time. Let's go order our custom armors," Vernisia said after they landed at the town's airport.
"We'll be returning to the academy since we quickly want to enter our magic labyrinth," Tigger said with a smile.
"Thank you very much again," Kerolin said as she bowed. Excitement was clearly visible in her eyes, as she could stay with Tigger and study at the Skyward Academy starting today.
"Haha, no problem," Zevien laughed heartily.
"Good luck," Vernisia also nodded with a smile. "See you tomorrow at the magic occupation classes."
