Magic Hour/ TXT FF ✅

                                Platform 5 5/3 unloaded the returning 8th Years for their graduation 🎓 ceremony. The ministries were fully reformed & many rules were overturned. The Ministry Of Light Magic was now 진주성입니다 (The Pearl Ministry.) The Ministry Of Dark Magic was now 어둠의 은둔의 질서입니다 (The Hermetic Order Of Darkness.)

       Headmaster Han greeted the 8th Years as they arrived. Namjoon sent Taehyung to fetch the graduating 8th Years that will be coming to The Pearl Ministry. Jimin came solely on the fact he knew exactly where Taehyun would end up. Given that Jimin had been training. "Welcome the Arcadia: School Of Arcane Arts graduating class !"

                                   Things have changed. No more separating students based on their abilities. Attending The Pearl Ministry or The Hermetic Order Of Darkness was no longer a requirement after graduating. And new recruits to either department no longer had to wear suits with distinct contrasting color. Another thing was you could join either department when you wanted to.

                                Taehyun approached his old friends. Which he hasn't truly done in a while. "어색한 건 알지만 그래도 당신을 제 친구로 생각해요." (I know things are awkward, but I still consider you my friends.) Beomgyu was reluctant to just trust Taehyun again. Soobin offered a smile, "Have you achieved what you wanted yet ?" Yeonjun looked happy that Taehyun was no longer isolating himself from them.

          Taehyun sighed giving a small smile. "I haven't yet. Jimin hyung says I just need to let nature take its course if it is even possible." Kai smiled, "Why don't we see you for dinner ?" Taehyun nodded before taking his leave.

                      They prepared for dinner. They haven't moved out of their dorm yet & they feel it was appropriate to have one last night. "What if he does achieve what he wants ? Would that mean we doubt the unorthodox teachings for nothing ?", Huening Kai asked out of curiosity. It was valid question.

            Soobin answered, "who knows what will come of his achievement if it actually works." Beomgyu interjected, "Daisy & Obsidian have the same abilities as the sorcerers of the Early Age. We made the right choice anyway. Who needs more power anyway ?" Yeonjun lightly nudged Beomgyu. "다투지 마세요. 만약 그런 일이 일어난다면, 일어납니다. 이야기의 끝입니다." (Stop arguing. If it happens, it happens. End of story.)

                    Taehyun soon arrived. Tension was normal, but it was less intense with Yeonjun keeping everyone' emotions under control with advice or distractions from Huening Kai. They sat in a circle. "What are your plans ?" Soobin grinned. "I will be opening a sanctuary. A relaxing place from those with my ability & then I'll expand."

                      They all seemed glad. He was starting small, but ot was a meaningful thing. Yeonjun was next to voice his plans. "I will join the faculty here as a guidance counselor." Beomgyu sighed. Clearly what he said was nothing he hasn't stated before," I will be training under Taehyung hyung."

                    Kai perked up grinning. "I will be training under Namjoon hyung at The Pearl Ministry !" All eyes were soon on Taehyun. "I'm not sure what is next for me. Might just return home."

                     They talked for hours now that the tension was eradicated. They were free from the pressure of the magical realm. They were friends once more.

Come morning 🌅, things get complicated.
