The witches get out of their cabin.

The third witch reprimands them, "Remember girls, don't hold back this time. Take as many children as you can. I bet I'll have more than Odenna here," she says as she points to the fourth witch.

"Oh, Tia. Is that a dare?" Odenna provokes.

The sixth witch runs into the forest while they argue.

"Woah, Zagia already went ahead. WAIT FOR ME!" the first witch shouts.

The rest of the witches run toward the forest. Meanwhile...

Phize is scrolling through his wardrobe.

"What should I wear? Should I be formal? Should I just be normal?" he asks himself.

"This is the first time I've actually been nervous, picking clothes."

"I need some help," he figured.

"Mommy! Can I have some help?"

"Oh, Phize. You should take a bath first. Don't worry, mommy and daddy have your back! Just go take a bath first!" she insisted.

"Thank you mom!"

He goes inside the bathroom.

"I'm so nervous and excited at the same time! I wonder how Pallitra would look?"

He daydreamed of her in a wedding dress, he gets embarrassed by this thought and splashes his face full of water.

"NO, IT'S TOO EARLY FOR THAT!" he surmised.

He goes out of the bath taking only a short amount of minutes and wears a cotton towel to cover his bottom.

"I'm done!"

"Phize!" she calls out to him.

"SON!" Vhint screamed in excitement.

He looks at them. Both of them are holding informal blue and violet medieval-type shirt with such big smiles on their faces.

"Woah!" he exclaimed in delight.

"Your father had this when he was quite young."

"That's right. It was the only thing I received from my late father, and I want to pass it on to you."

Vhint hands out the shirt to his son.

Phize carefully grabs the shirt and greatly admires its colors.

"THIS LOOKS SO GORGEOUS!"

He approaches them gleefully.

"THANK YOU!"

He examines the shirt but then he noticed something missing.

"Oh, how about my pants?"

"Don't worry, mommy's got that covered!"

After he gets finished preparing, he goes outside to their rendezvous. He arrives at the school entrance, with the weak wind blowing through his clothes and stray leaves flying around on a bright sunny day as he eagerly waits for Pallitra.

"This is the place right?"

He explores the surroundings in search of his partner.

"Where's Pallitra?" he wondered.

"PHIZE!!!" a young girly voice calls toward him.

He takes a glance behind him.

"Oh, so there you a-"

His words were paused in awe as he stared at her features. She wore a sleeveless white dress that extended to her knees made out of silk filled with a yellow sunflower pattern that surrounded the very bottom.

He was in utter shock that he stared at her dress for a few seconds before actually answering her arrival.

"H-Hello..."

She blushes and looks away to cover her face.

"She looks so cute! Not only does she look cute, but her dress is astounding!" he thought.

"Y-You look good in your dress," he commented.

"Y-You too, your outfit looks stylish," she said.

"Oh goodness. I didn't expect him to look this good!" she conceived.

"U-Um, I know some places we could go to!"

She grabs Phize's hand while lowering her head.

"W-Woah!"

He was forced to tag along. While following her, he took a glance at her face.

"She's lowering her head," he determined.

He smiles from seeing her bashfulness.

"She's shy too, isn't she?" he concluded.

Meanwhile, the witches hunt for their prey.

Tia, the third witch runs through the forest and teleports from tree to tree. Branches fall as she passes by. She spots a ray of light shining through the forest.

A young boy and girl are walking through the roads peacefully.

"Targets acquired."

She teleports behind the two children.

The two children look at her in shock.

A magic circle forms inside her mouth as she prepares to chant a spell.

"Zaxelus Aphysal."

The two children faint seconds after the spell was cast.

"We have two healthy children here," she says while smirking.

"Greatest Storage Magic."

A portal in a form of a big crack as tall as the witch herself appears with a purple background inside it. She carries the two children and tosses them inside through the big crack formed.

Back to Phize and Pallitra, who are both sitting at a table eating strawberry crepes.

"DELICIOUS!" Phize declared.

"See? I buy here whenever we get big tasks and assignments! This place sure is high-class!" she praised.

He peers over at her to see that she has a bit of vanilla cream near her mouth.

"Um..."

She stares back at him and looks over to where the cream lay. With an idea forming over her head, she lets out a mischievous smirk.

"You were thinking of something lewd, weren't you?"

He blushes over to hear such an absurd thing.

"W-WHAT? I would never!"

"You were gonna try to be romantic and eat the cream near my mouth weren't you?"

His face turns redder as he hears his plan get busted.

"H-How did you know?"

"I've seen tons of movies y'know?"

She licks the cream off her mouth.

"If we do that, then that would be near to an indirect kiss wouldn't it?" she comprehended.

"G-Good point."

She reaches her strawberry crepe to him.

"W-What are you doing? Isn't this an indirect kiss as well?"

"I mean, there's a difference. Besides, if you were planning to do something like that, might as well go all out, no?"

He looks away to hide his red face.

Pallitra blushes as she noticed the boldness of her suggestion.

"O-Or you can ch-ch-choose to not either e-ehehe-ehhe," she nervously said trying to take back what she just suggested.

Going back to the witches...

Zagia is wandering the fields recklessly and stumbles upon an array of buildings.

She finds a bunch of little children with 4 boys, she releases an unnervingly large upon finding her prey.

"This will lead me to 10 children this time," she presumed.

She pounces on the first boy leading the group. The two boys behind the first fell down to the ground due to shock while the last boy simply goes back a bit.

The first boy panics.

"WHAT'S HAPPENING?! HELP ME!"

She places her right arm near the chin and the left arm near the ear and presses it forward.

She snaps the neck of the first boy*

The corpse of the boy immediately falls to the ground while Zagia hops back and looks at the three remaining boys.

"What are you looking at?" she questioned them while giving out a smirk.

"Aren't you going to run?"

"R-RUN!" the second boy broadcasted.

He stands up and runs opposite her.

The third boy shouts, "AHHHH!"

She chants, "Beseth Hildus."

A magic circle forms from her right hand and she aims it near the second boy's chest.

"SHOOT!"

A strong force of wind comes from it and as it passed through the boy, a hole forms out of his heart.

"I'm sure they wouldn't mind if I deliver a heartless child... literally."

She chuckles as she looks at the lifeless bloody body of the second boy. She then looks at the other running boy.

"Oh, he's gone far," she thought.

"Shoot!"

She aims for the other boy's head and as the strong force of wind reaches the poor soul, he got instantly beheaded, with his head flying a few meters out of his decapitated body.

Finally, she looks at the last boy.

The boy screams for dear life, "AHH! AHHH! AHHHH!"

He sweats intensely and decides to make a run for it.

"H-HELP! HELP! SOMEBODY! PLEASE!"

He trips and tries to crawl to escape her grasp.

Zagia, on the other hand, laughed hysterically at the poor boy's suffering, "Aha... AHA! AHAHAHHAHA! AHAHAHAHHAH!"

"YES! RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!"

He crawls faster.

"Joint Dislocation."

Crack. The sound of bones was heard from the boy's direction.

The final boy's joints from his feet to his arms have been dislocated after the spell has been cast.

"AHAHAHHAHAH!"

Phize and Pallitra here, were still walking the streets of an urban city.

"Hm, I wonder, what should I buy?" Pallitra wondered.

She sees a toy store and she manages to shape out a mage figurine standing near the windowpane.

He notices where she was looking.

"Would you like that figure?"

"U-UH NO! I'M A PERFECTLY GROWN YOUNG LADY! I'm not into toys like those."

"Somewhere in that sentence you just said contradicted yourself... also, where did this immediate rush to grow into a lady come from. It's too late."

She felt awkward.

"I just didn't want you to think of me as childish, because I always act childish."

"Don't worry, I know. That's what I like about you."

"W-WHA? W-WHERE IS THIS ALL COMING FROM?"

She punches his shoulder lightly.

"Teasing is m-my job."

"Well, I have to counter those once in a while don't I?"

"I guess so."

The first witch is a few blocks away with blood filling her black and gray old attire.

"I got around 9 children. That should be enough for now."

She gapes at where Pallitra is standing. Phize is in the toy shop so he isn't seen from her point of view.

"White... hair... so beautiful."

"Maybe 10 wouldn't be a bad number," she thought.

She chants, "Speed."

A magic circle forms from her right hand and she runs headed to Pallitra's direction at a very fast rate.

"Sleep."

She casts the magic onto Pallitra and the young little girl falls unconscious.

Phize heads out of the toy store carrying the mage figurine.

He detected the witch moving towards Pallitra.

"PALLITRA?!"

"Another one?" she thought.

"Sleep."

"Y-"

He falls to the ground unconscious.

    It is very dark, barely anything can be made of. Phize slowly regains consciousness in the dark place. "W-What happened..." He notices something wet on his hand. "What is this wet thing?" He retracts his hand and looked at his hand stained with the liquid. He was shocked by what he saw. "Red," he examined. "Is this..." He inhales deeply only for him to end up covering his nose again from the stench. "It smells bad here... what's going on?" he asked. He examines his surroundings. "WHAT?!" Around him were children's skeletal remains, severed body parts, and large amounts of viscera scattered along the floor and walls. "PHH! BLEGH!" he barfs to have witnessed something so unsightly. He coughs. "THIS IS BAD! THIS IS REALLY BAD!" he panicked. He calms himself down, stands up, and explores the area to search for Pallitra. "PALLITRA!" "WAIT! I SHOULD LOWER MY VOICE! SOMEONE MIGHT HEAR ME," he thought. He whispers, "Pallitra. Where are you?" He digs through the corpses and

    Hagah raises her index finger and places it near her mouth."Shhh. Take a seat down first."He reluctantly sits down on the old bed."You. You were the one who brought us here, didn't you? I remember. What's your reason for bringing us here?"She grabs a chair and gently sits down."Haydel, she was the mother of all the witches. Witches know most of the ancient magic that is born from this world and is also the creator of most of them. But people despised her power, so she was killed, and so were some of her children..."He wondered, "What is she talking about?""You were wondering why I brought you here, no?"He was surprised by her reaction."It is best to explain from the very beginning since I am very well aware that you would ask questions afterward. So listen carefully..." she continues explaining, "the main reason for our mother's decapitation was because of a certain spell, which is known as Perfect Immortality,

    Pallitra is on the table strapped to the chains. "You. How did you get out of the preservation room?" Odenna asks. He chants, "ICICLE BARRAGE!" A magic circle forms from his right hand and icicles shoot toward her. "MAGIC?" She instantly dodges to the right and casts magic. "Magic Bullet!" Within his own thoughts, he unconsciously said, "CANCEL!" Odenna' magic circle breaks and fades out immediately after he thought of the word. "Wh-What happened?" Zagia and the second witch come down the stairs from the ruckus. "What happened?" the second witch asked. Zagia sees Phize sweating nervously looking at his surroundings, "YOU LITTLE PRICK!" "I don't get it... my magic circle disappeared. And I still have a lot of mana inside of me too," Odenna asks as she stares blankly at her hands. "PHIZE! ARE YOU GOOD WITH ROCK FORMATION MAGIC?" Pallitra asks him. "WHAT DO YOU

    Inside the Phize's room, a large bulky figure inside the blanket is made out from the bed. A little boy opens the door and shakes the figure."Big brother, it's time to wake up."Lexia opens the door and enters the room."Did your big brother wake up yet?"A little girl hugs Lexia from behind."Mom!" the little girl gleefully said."Oh sweetie, you shouldn't be here."She leads the little boy and the little girl outside. Taking a look upon that large bulk, her face show hints of sadness."Oh, Phize..."She approaches it and then taps one of what seemed to be his shoulder."Phize, I know you're having a hard time and you can skip school if you want to. But you have to move on, I'm sure Pallitra wouldn't be happy if she saw you in the state you're in right now."She leaves the room and closes the door behind her. After the soft click of the door leaves, Phize rises from his bed taller than before with longer

    The next day passes by, morning came, and Phize goes inside the school. He enters the classroom and sits down on his chair.He asked himself, "What am I supposed to do right now...""It's been so long since I've thought about my purpose..."He is reminiscent of what Hagah said to him. Her voice echoes through his mind, "...SO ACT ON YOUR MISSION!..."He looks at the whiteboard Hasha is writing on."So, I'm supposed to do what I'm supposed to, eh? Thinking about it, why was I reincarnated? Wasn't it a second chance for me? Or was there another purpose?" he extrapolated."Wait...""Why am I supposed to fulfill the request of someone I don't know? Sure, I'd like to thank them... but this is my life. I should find my own purpose," he comprehended.......He sighs. He tries to envision what he could do."All I had in mind was to change myself and spend my everyday life... with her. Now that she's gone,

I shouldn't have tried..."Someone knocks on the door of the stall he was in."Hello? Phize?"It was Hazel."P-Please leave me alone for now...""I'm sorry...""What for... I don't understand why you should be apologizing to me...""You're going through something aren't you? Sorry for being so passive about it. I was just..." she stops in between her words, "...I was going through many problems at the time as well.""It's okay..." he says with a forced tone."NO, IT'S NOT! To be honest, I didn't feel much at the disappearance of Pallitra because we weren't close. But from the looks of it, the two of you were very close and something bad must've happened to her."He wipes his tears.The bell rings."Oh, the bell rang."Utter silence is

    Inside the classroom..."We made a deal earlier that I and Hazel would be strangers until I accepted the fact that Pallitra is gone. Though with that said, I don't exactly regret talking to her, it sort of gave me... reassurance with myself."He looks at Hasha standing in front of her desk."I might as well listen to the discussion for now..." he thought."In this world, there are many types of magic, we have 6 major types of magic which are specifically Rock, Fire, Water, Wind, Light, and Dark Magic. We have some minor types and some examples of these are Creation Magic, Storage Magic, and much much more. But first, let's go into them one by one...""It's been a while since I listened to a discussion.

    "To make me say that would have to take a bit of convincing, I'm afraid," Phize stated."Not convinced after seeing my face?""Mmmm, nope. Anyway, have your parents visited you?""Just normal talk," he thought."Nope.""Why?""Busy on taking land domain. Both of them.""I seem to think I'm the only one with decent parents this time around," he thought."I see. Do you miss them?""Why are you here?" she asked."Yikes, she ignored my question.

I rather her call me Phize," he thought."Wh-Where am I?""The doctors can answer that for you."They ambushed Taya.She asked all kinds of questions and so did the doctors."Don't let me regret my decision," Phize mumbled to himself.He left the room and peacefully walked in the hallways.He got lost in his own mind that he did not notice how much time passed by and how many medical personnel got past him."Hm… never imagined my thought process was capable of forming such inhumane thoughts."There was a slight halt to his speculation."Well, that might be the case when I do not refer to humans. She did not treat me like a human and as implied just now, she still does not. So, if she doesn't treat me like one… why do I have to treat her as such?

It almost seemed like the two were once close.The scenery could be interpreted as a person mourning the comatose of a dear best friend."Dad?" Phize asked with the arrival of the doctors.Vhint faced them with flowing tears."Did we… interrupt something?" Phize questioned."No, no…"Vhint stood up and stepped aside."Please… go ahead."The doctors surrounded Harris.Phize faced his father."Father… do you happen to know Harris? Were you close with him?"Vhint made an obvious excuse. The time it took to get the answer hinted at it."… I'm just an empathetic person. When I saw how badly injured he was, it made me cry. How a person went through such pain… makes me feel pity.""I can tell what he said was a half-truth.

It was a very snowy day. There was a young boy who held the hands of his parents. He was stepping playfully on the snow that formed at their feet. All of them had red beanies and brown boots. His parents wore brown trenches and blue-green gloves, while the little kid had a thick blue sweater and green mittens just right for his size. The kid counted his steps. "One, two, three, four…" The family arrived at a park. There, they met up with another family who also had their son. They had similar attire. They nudged their son. "Come on, Ansgar." The parents of the first and second families met up, leaving the two children be. "U-Uh, 'sup," Ansgar answered nervously. "Hm? Why so nervous?" the other child asked.

    EPISODE 145 - The Changes that Occur

    On top of a tall and flat building, there was a man who had blonde hair, and brown eyes and wore a clear white robe that extended from his shoulders to his legs. He wore a necklace shaped like a diamond with a star in the middle, and in the middle of that star was an eye, made of metal. He kept watch over the city below."Such beautiful scenery…" he uttered.A man in a thick cream and brown robe approached him, who also wore the same necklace whispered into his ear."Mhm… Mhm… What? Wait, what? Could you repeat that again? You can speak up, we are the only ones here," he permitted.The man took a few steps back and cleared his throat."Ehem… I have received leaks from the mouths of the Alganists. According to what I have heard, they declared that Spellmaster was dead and that they were cheering because they were on their way to conquering the minds of the people.""Wh-What is the meaning of this?! Spellmaster… is dead? Is that information accurate?""It has been confirmed by two such
