(location: main hall)
Murr: Training, training! Let's be flashy and go off with a bang!
Nero: Hey, no need to pull me around like this. I'm comin', I'm comin'.
Chloe: Ehehe. I'm really looking forward to training with all the Eastern wizards.
While walking through the hall, I hear the lively voices of a group of people. It's the Eastern and Western wizards.
Akira: Hello, everyone. What are you all doing grouped up together?
Nero: We're havin' a joint trainin' session. We're about to head out to the courtyard.
Akira: (... I feel like this is an unusual mixture, though.)
I find myself glancing toward their teachers. Shylock smiles right back at me, while Faust looks kind of tired for some reason.
Shino: Hehe. It was worth it to stick it out in front of Faust's door since this morning.
Heathcliff: You went too far, Shino. I'm so sorry, Master Faust.
Murr: I had fun! Bam, bam! We sing, we dance!
Rustica: The time where we played music and waited for the door to open was very thrilling.
Faust: Ugh...
Akira: (He lost to the pushiness of the Western wizards and Shino, huh...)
Nero: Even though you turned 'em away and said you didn't wanna, in the end you're pretty weak to pressure, huh, Teach.
Faust: You're the one person I don't want to hear that from.
Akira: Um, I'd like to write about what your training session is like in the Sage's Book, so is it alright if I come too?
Nero: Sure. If you come, I'm sure they'll all be happy.
Akira: Then, I'll head there right after I grab the Sage's Book.
(location: courtyard)
A few minutes later, a surprising sight is waiting for me when I arrive in the courtyard.
(three Ozs appear)
Oz?: Sage.
Akira: Oh my gosh, there are three Ozs! W-Why?!
Shino: Whaddya think, Sage? Pretty cool, right?
Heathcliff: Why are you the one who looks so proud...
Nero: Sage, the Western wizards just transformed into Oz with magic, 's'all.
Oz?: Oh dear, it seems like the cat is out of the bag.
Faust: Jeez... I told you guys to knock it off, and yet here we are...
Nero: Y'all ain't afraid of anythin', turnin' into Oz of all people. Guess I wouldn't expect anythin' less of the Western wizards.
Oz?: Hehe. Hearing you say that is very much an honor.
Oz?: I will praise you.
*rustling*
Nero: He... Hey, I ain't a kid, so stop pattin' my head. And as Oz, on top of that. And actually, can you guys not surround me as Oz??
Akira: This is quite the amazing sight... Three Ozs...
(And on top of that, they all have huge smiles on their faces...)
*magic dissipating*
Rustica: Do you remember when I transformed into Lord Oz previously? I was very happy that everyone was surprised back then.
*magic dissipating*
Murr: Before we turned into Oz, we turned into cats. When I tried pawing at Faust, he got mad!
Akira: A cat... Now that you mention it, I was allowed to pet Oz when he had transformed into a cat.
Nero: Oz, a cat? And you petted him?!
Akira: Yes. When I begged him really hard, he transformed... I felt really at ease.
Nero: ...... Sage, you're the most amazin' out of everyone.
"The Results of the Joint Training Session Are?" 2:
Akira: Are the Eastern wizards not very good at transformation magic?
Nero: Mmm, well, it probably differs person to person, but I ain't too good at it. Not like I can't, though.
Shylock: In that case, shall I teach you how, Nero?
Nero: No, I'm good. I'm just observin' today.
Shino: What's with that easygoing response. One day, the Eastern wizards are gonna be stronger than the Northern wizards.
Nero: We're included in that crazy hard goal too, not just you?
Shino: Obviously. In order for that to happen, we've gotta be able to use all magic the best out of any wizard.
Shylock: Then, in order to answer Shino's expectations, I will teach you with delicate care and detail.
Or, perhaps, do you prefer to be transformed by another? A precious kitten, or a lovely little bird... Which would you prefer?
Nero: ... I'll transform on my own.
Shylock: Hehe, then let us begin.
Nero: ... Ugh, why is this happenin'.
Murr: Then first, let's all turn into cats! Follow the leader and~ Meooow!
Chloe & Rustica: Meooow!
Shino: Are we supposed to follow after them, too?
Nero: Nope.
Their training session continues in a lively fashion that sometimes dissolves into them frolicing about, and just watching them makes a smile appear on my face before I even know it.
Akira: (This kind of training session where you and your allies train while laughing with each other is nice.)
(location: Sage's room)
Akira: Yawn... It's already this time? It got pretty late while I was organizing the Sage's Book.
(After that, Mithra came and told me to lend him my hand since he couldn't sleep, so I wasn't able to watch the training session until the end, but...)
I'm sure it ended with them still having fun. I'll ask them about it tomorrow.
It's late at night, so I guess I'll go to sleep after I drink some water.
(location: kitchen)
Nero: Sage, what're you doin' here so late?
Akira: Good evening. I came to get a cup of water. Are you making arrangements for tomorrow's breakfast, Nero?
Nero: Yep. I really wanted to get it done today. Just doin' something small like this will make the flavor change.
If you're gonna sleep, want some hot milk to fall asleep easier?
Akira: You'd be willing to do that? Thank you very much.

(location: ???)
Akira: ... Mm...
*rustling*
(location: dining hall)
Akira: Huh, the dining hall...? ... Ah, I think I dozed off while I was waiting for Nero to bring the hot milk.
Cat: Mya~.
Akira: Oh... It's a cat. I wonder if it wandered in from somewhere.
Even if I tickle their chin or rub their head, they just let me, so I end up feeling good enough to lift them up.
And when I do, I notice a familiar hairband on their foot.
Akira: Huh, this is Nero's...
Cat: Mya~!
Akira: ...... ......... Nero?
Cat: Meow!
Akira: (They responded! Huh, then maybe, did Nero use magic to...?!)
Shino: What's up, Sage. What are you holding?
Akira: Shino.
Shino: Oh, it's a cat. Did it wander in?
Akira: Y-Yes. It did. But, there's a possibility that this is Nero...
Nero: Haha, ya got tricked hook, line, and sinker. That ain't me, that's Murr.
*sparkle*
Murr: Meoow, cat's outta the bag!
Akira: Whoa?!
Nero: Jeez, I was wonderin' what ya were doin', takin' my hairband without permission... C'mon, give it.
Akira: Oh... So it wasn't you, Nero. I really thought...
Nero: What's the matter, Sage. Did ya want me to turn into a cat?
Akira: No, well, I mean, I thought that you were showing me the results of this afternoon's training session...!
Nero: Haha. Well, I'll let ya slide with that. Right, here's your hot milk. Sorry for the wait.
Akira: Thank you very much.
Murr: Why don't you try turning into a cat, Nero? It feels really good to be petted by Master Sage!
Shino: When you transform into a cat, you should show Faust, too. If you do that, then he might not give us as much homework.
Nero: You seriously tryin' to use me as a bribe?
Shylock: Oh my, this is a surprise even though it's so late. Why are all of you gathered together?
Faust: So you guys are still awake.
Akira: Shylock, Faust.
Nero: We just happened to group up, 's'all. What about you guys? It ain't too often I see you two together.
Shylock: I invited him for a drink, partly to show my gratitude for today's training session.
Faust: ... Well, I was tired, so I felt like having a drink.
More importantly, Shino. Are you done with your homework?
Shino: Nero, now. Turn into a cat.
Nero: What? You serious? I mean, why can't you just do it?
Shylock: Hehe, you wish to show us the results of this afternoon's practice? Your students are so hardworking and cute.
Faust: I see... Well, if you really want to show me, then I guess I can take a look.
Nero: Hey, you're not allowed to take their side.
Murr: Show us, show us! I'd like to see you turn into a cat, Nero!
Akira: I would, too...
Shylock: Oh dear, it seems that you don't have anyone on your side.
Nero: Ugh...
Card Episode "If We're Going to Have a Group Training Session":
(location: kitchen)
Akira: Nero. What did you think of the Eastern Country and Western Country group training session that took place recently?
Nero: Just like ya saw, it was real lively.
The Western guys kept goin' off the rails, and I couldn't even tell if they were tryin' to learn or just playin' around.
But, both Shino and Heath looked happy to be taught magic by them.
Akira: That's true, they were both training very energetically.
Nero: Shylock's way of teachin' was thorough and easy to understand, so. Well, I wasn't too big a fan of him teasin' me every so often, though...
Nero: Well, trainin' sessions like that ain't too bad every so often, in my opinion.
Akira: I had a lot of fun watching as well. If you were to have a group training session with a country other than the Western Country, which one would you want?
Nero: Let's see... First of all, I definitely don't wanna do it with the Northern guys. Those guys don't know what "hold back" means.
Akira: Ahh... I feel like it would be alright if Snow and White are there, but I do also feel like you can't say that for sure, either...
Nero: If we're gonna, maybe the Central Country? All the guys over there are serious, so they seem like they'd be a good match for our teach.
It's just, I could never ask Oz to teach me 'bout magic. Seems like Shino's challenged him a bunch of times, but I'd never.
Well, somehow, trainin' with just the Eastern guys is pretty peaceful.
(location: main hall)
Murr: Training, training! Let's be flashy and go off with a bang!
