Everyone was surprised how early Veronica was awake, and how good her breakfast was, sidering she never cooked before.

  After eating and a m shower, the girls were transfixed on preparing for the tour.

  "So, we'll o e up with something. Seeing as how we don't really know who our oppos are just yet, we'll more than likely need some better equipment at least." Aviris was the first to speak up.

  "Thabks for reminding me!" Veronica spoke up. "When I was at Liaif's yesterday, I picked up some gear for all of us." She pced everyone's new piece of gear oable.

  "Ver, how much did this cost you?" Cassidy asked.

  "Uh... well... teically I got them for free."

  "She gave you another deal?"

  "Yeah."

  "Is it that thialked about yesterday when you got back?"

  "Yeah..."

  "At least they're good." Cassidy finished, looking at the gear. "So, who gets what?"

  "Alright, so, the belt goes to Avi. You'll get a pretty det boost to yility." Veronica started.

  "More speed and whatnot? Sure. I'll take it." Aviris said, grabbing the belt and iing it. "I even make it work with some outfits I have bae. Nice."

  ", is a neckce for Elly. Your Holy magic will be enhanced and you get a form of shield effect that should bloe attacks for you."

  "Even at a school, I'm still showered in jewelry. But it does look pretty. And the effect will certainly help us out." Eleanora responded, carefully pig up the neckd putting it on.

  "And for Cass, I've got a ring." Without hesitation, or even a thought, Veronica grabbed Cassidy's hand and slipped the ring onto her ring fihis a had, unsurprisingly, caused the void witch to blush untrolbly. "Stric overall and more casts. The perfect ring for an offensive magic user."

  Cassidy stayed silent, still blushing, perhaps repying g that se in her mind over and ain, but with different w.

  "And finally, for myself, a circlet that grants me a lot of defense against magic."

  "How much defense, Mistress?" Tisha asked. Her calling Veronica that made the rest look extremely oddly at Tisha.

  "Um... uh... you don't o call me that..."

  "But, you ordered me to call you that yesterday, did you not?" She responded simply, causing the irls to look at Veronica.

  "It was a mistake! Seriously! I'm still trying to figure out this Charm thing. A-Anyways, back to your question... The magical defense should pletely e low level magic."

  Everyone was simply in sileill thinking about what Tisha had called Veronica.

  'Please tell me I fix her...'

  "Well, do you want the good news or the bad news first?"

  'Let's do good first.'

  "Alright. Good news, her personality and thought process should still be the same since before you used Charm, is it usually enhances one's deepest desires."

  'I see... and the bad news?'

  "Charm isn't reversible."

  'And you couldn't have told me that earlier!?'

  "Sorry! It kinda slipped my mind. And I didn't think you'd get this far this quickly."

  'So, what I do for her?'

  "Well, you could either kill her, or kill yourself, but I don't think you'd do either. So your only optio is to simply embrace her and never use Charm on her again."

  'Fuck...'

  "Naughty girl!"

  'Pot, meet kettle.'

  "Just make sure to use Charm more servatively."

  'Right... I'll try.'

  "Anyway, the tour is in a few days. I'd suggest you should all work on minor exercises and light training so you don't get too rusty or wear yourselves out before the tour." Tisha said to the silent group.

  "She's right. We should at least do something before the tour. But for now, I want to just rex." Aviris said, leaning bato the sofa.

  And so, that's what they did for the rest of the day. Simple rexation, some chatting, and some exercise, just to break up the ziness.

  Veronica thought to herself that she was sorely g in any bat teiques. So, she decided to work on that.

  Tomorrow. She'll work on it tomorrow.
