"*Grunt* HURK" The lone mage panted as he pushed the brick into place. He was almost done. It had taken him almost two months now as he was busy placing the finishing touches on the area. After Umi and the Ryu-ju-go had attacked the school, the entire student body had simply given up on it, gone traveling and tried to make their way in the world. Mortimer had actually played a part in the schools destruction the first time around and had been incredibly remorseful about it. He'd tried to keep the students scattered around the magical world in relative contact with one another to little success, but he had spoken to one individual who helped change his thinking.

It was after meeting with this man that Mortimer had taken to rebuilding the school. He had access to the airship which Umi had left behind (before attempting time travel magic), and had access to a limitless workforce with his shadow magic. Combined with a knowledge of necessary raw materials in Argyre and he could transport whatever he needed back and forth across the continents and rebuild from the shattered remains and broken down buildings of the once prestigious school.

This time however Mortimer promised himself it would be different. A new system set in place. "Students" would be allowed to come and go as they pleased. Requests for aid or investigation would come throughout the world, he had contacts to ensure that, and students would be sent to fulfill these requests. Students would earn "credits" as a result of these missions and could use them to request lessons from certain instructors to learn certain techniques...with any luck, the model Mortimer created would draw in new students and revitilize the old "school"...however, he DID still need students. That part would be a little tricky.

(Ill join for the development)

Yoko was on a mission, to traverse the entire magical world in the space of a year, as per the rules Umi set in motion for this kind of thing. He needed to get stronger, and in order to do that, he would have to master the sword techniques left behind by his school, and the forbidden Souke series he would have to master. In the mean time, he was to travel the magical world, learn as much as he could about the magical world, while training on each continent, in order to become the second in command that Umi would need.

On his way across the continent, Yoko made it to the city of Orestes, the a port town, and home to his former school, the Everlast School for Magic. It was nostalgic, the flickers of happiness hit Yoko every time he took a step around the city. Ahead of him, at the top of the mountain that was the school, nestled in the bosom of a plateau. Rather than take an airship up, like all of of mages did when the school was still running, Yoko had to climb the mountain itself, in order to make it to his goal, The Wall.

Larita was visiting the remains of her memories once again. However, this time it was different. She could see Mortimer. She didn't know him that well, but he was the one who destroyed the school. It looked as if he was trying to rebuild it. "M-..." She was about to shout his name but stops. The nostalgia hit her and she reminisced in the memories she had with Sai, Bex, William, the teachers and everyone else. The whole thing was strange. Where were the teachers at the time of the attack? They could have easily stopped Umi and co.

"...Maybe I should... try and call everyone back? If we rebuild the school, we could be students again..." Larita smiles innocently, a serene look on her face. "I really want to be with everyone again." She was sitting at a cliff as the wind blew her hair, her hair fluttering beautifully. Nodding to herself, she gets up and walks down to the school site, deciding it'd be best to help rebuild the school too.

Aliidan stood staring absently into space by a wall of bricks, deep in thought while it wouldn't seem that way to anyone. She missed her sister, she missed the good old days... She felt very lonely at the moment, with nothing to really occupy her mind she tended to wander in thoughts and come to the conclusion that for all her friends and companions, she was a terribly lonely soul. The Relationship between herself and her two friends, William and Rose, had changed and Aliidan did not feel as closely knit to them as she had earlier...

Rita was walking through the school remains, as Oniki trained at a nearby tree. As Oniki explodes it with fire by accident, it falls forward knocking down a wall of bricks. Kind of like a domino effect. The wall of bricks fell and another fell down causing a lot of destruction. Rita looked around, hoping no one was around in this barren wasteland. "Ah!" She gasps as a brick wall was falling at a girl sulking to herself with beautiful blue hair. "Ougi! Katana Blitz!" Rita shouts as she disappears appearing next to Aliidan and easily cutting down the wall. "Are you alright? Ah! I remember seeing you at this school... I don't know your name though." Rita explains, offering the girl a hand.

"Why are you here? And, as a girl, you can look for me to protect you, ehehe. My name's Rita Taicho." She smiles.

Eri was walking around her now destroyed school looking for an item she left at her dorm. It was just a bracelet, but she liked it, so she went to look for it. She wondered if it was even there considering the scavangers and hunters looking for slaves and valuable items came along. "Eh?" She was shocked as she sees people rebuilding the school, or at the least, destroying it by accident. "They're rebuilding the school?" Eri asks her self.

"Everyone, this way!" Rose smiles pointing to the ruins of the school. She was standing at the base of the cliff with her friends that she could come in touch with to help rebuild the school. Most would question what's the difference, but Rose points to specific locations. "Look! People are rebuilding the school." Rose squints her eyes to see a few people at different areas rebuilding the school.

"Don't you wish we could go back to the good old school days? Let's do it! Let's help!!" Rose smiles, running down a trail downwards from the cliff towards the school.
