C H A P T E R  XI

Two days since Azhu open up to me. I was not really expecting Azhu to have that serious and sad past but he says that it was all good that it was history, he moved on.

However, I don't really think so.

I know most of the student here are a hundred years old or more and it get me wondering, do they have serious history too?

The Ball starts in exactly seven in the evening Shira and I got five hours to decorate the venue and get ready. The gym has some of the decorations that we made.
The arc filled with green and pink balloons, to welcome all the students with their true forms. The decorations and lettering for the stage have been put up the only thing that is missing was Shira's work.

I've seen Shira doing magic and witchcraft in the room, she would cast all of our cleaning material just to clean, being a witch is really handy. We arrived in the gym I sat on a bench watching Shira doing her thing in front of me.

"Declorato itsumino!" She swung her wand and cast her spell that made the whole gym fill with grasses, blooming flowers in different colours, above where the ceiling was transformed into a bright and clear light blue sky.

Though the sun is sleeping, the true beauty of her decorations is not yet fully bloomed, just imagine if the ball starts It will be spring day with in the night, it will be beautiful! Shira made the perfect scenario of a field with tons of flowers. "So what do you think?" Shira asked all proudly. I smiled not hiding how fascinated I was.

"It is incredibly beautiful Shira!" I exclaimed. I ran through out the grass, it felt real, it's like Shira have move a field of flowers inside our gym.

It all felt real, the breeze and even the sound of trees,grasses and birds are all clear to hear. "Glad you like it! Now, can we take a rest? The spell I cast is quite strong I need to take a quick nap." Shira stated.

We exited the gym and Shira secured it with yet another spell, just so no one would mess with it. Shira is the top witch student in the school, thus she was tasked to decorate the event. Shira is exceptional in witchcraft and spells but her power could drain if she cast a heavy spell just like she did earlier.

I don't know as to why it was a heavy spell but she needs rest and I can help her with that. We ride her broomstick to our dorm and Shira took a quick nap.

I was reading for not less than thirty minutes when a knock from the door appeared, I quickly open the door and found Leo standing in front of me. It made me all confuse and surprised at the same time.

"Hi!" I greeted, since Leo is my trainer for physical combat, my hatred for him became lesser and we now talk casually like normal friend does. He brought himself a two clothe hanger obviously with clothes hanging on them but it was covered by a cloth  protecter usually use for clothes that are expensive.

"Hey, is Shira here?" He asked.

"Yes, but she's having a nap." I replied. He mouthed an "oh" then sigh out of disappointment. He might have expect Shira to help him with something especially with those clothe hangers he's holding.

He was ready to make his way out of our dorm when I stopped him. "Do you need help?" I asked. He stared at me and he started talking, "I need help on picking what to wear for the ball."
