“This is… an awakening?” Evelyn said in surprise.

“Most likely.” Lily nodded. The pain from the first awakening was far more painful than the gash on her head due to the magic power gathered in her body and it felt like a bite. Many witches would unconsciously exert their power at that moment, which would most likely expose themselves. If it was two or three years ago, those who awakened openly would almost certainly be doomed.

Soon the lightning vanished, but it had ignited the floor and outer wall of the classroom, leaving an orange-red trail of fire along with clouds of smoke.

The short-haired girl struggled to return to her stunned friend, shouted, and grabbed her hand to drag her out of the danger area.

Lily raised her eyebrow in appreciation. It was known that the first bite had a good chance of not being fatal, but it was a feeling that a witch had never experienced before. Usually, after the bite, a witch would be weak and sweaty. It was very rare for a teenage girl to be able to control her body under such conditions, let alone, remember to come back for her companion behind her.

Since the fire triggered by the lightning was very small, the flames did not spread very fast. By the time the second half of the classroom was enveloped in flames, all the people had escaped from the teaching building.

Seeing the truth of what had happened, Summer ended the flashbacks.

“Good, we have a new sister.” Lily raised the corner of her lip. She could foresee that, regardless of her ability, the girl would be a rather good witch, at least, with respect to her bravery and her will. This girl gave Lily a feeling that not every witch would be as bad as Mystery Moon.

She deliberately turned to glance at Mystery Moon who, against her expectations, stood there shocked, without giving any visual clue that she was paying attention to what was being said.

Ugh. What’s wrong with this fool again?

“We have to tell Sister Wendy immediately!” Amy suggested. “There’s a new witch in Neverwinter!”

“Agreed.” Evelyn nodded. “Let’s go to the castle now.”

“Wendy probably already knew,” thought Lily and shrugged, but she did not speak her thoughts out loud. She had intended to return her bedroom to continue her observation of the tiny worms after the incident and the castle was on the way back.

“Mystery Moon?” When they were about to walk toward the castle, they noticed that Mystery Moon was still riveted to the floor.

“Ah… I’m coming.” She shook her head clear of any distractions and went to keep pace with the others.

“Are you alright?” Evelyn asked as she touched Mystery Moon’s head.

“I’m fine…” Mystery Moon replied under her breath, looking quite different from the excited version of her when she first arrived.

“Such an odd girl.” Lily could not help thinking.

Lily twitched her mouth and then took Mystery Moon’s hand through which she injected a magic parent worm into her body. “Although the fool should not be infected with a cold, what if she was?”

They traveled back to the Witch Building via the Magic Ark and immediately reported to an angry Wendy, who, as they had expected, scolded them.

“There was no need for you girls to investigate the matter. Sylvie noticed the magic reaction in school when she was in the castle and has since learned everything after questioning the people there.” Wendy knocked every witch’s forehead with her hand. “Sneaking through the police perimeter and entering a potentially dangerous place, you are spending too much time with Lightning. Do you want to be confined to the classroom and take three practice tests like her?”

Everyone’s faces changed as they heard Wendy’s words. They shook their heads immediately.

“Ah, I almost forgot.” Evelyn suddenly clapped her hands and said, “I have to check the tavern’s stock before dinner.”
