Looking at the magic borders on each of the 4 stands. Clearly showing the open arena to the outside. And each stand having enough places to sit on for each student of each batch. Such an enormous thing
"the tournament is beginning soon, when are we going to unlock our Glyphs?"
Cameron tells himself, while walking alongside Hailie, and Crine who hits Cameron's arm with his elbow
"Soon? It's still in a month. It's still pretty loong! We'll have our Glyphs unlocked today and start proper training right away, anyway"
Hearing this, Cameron turns at Hailie, who nods for confirmation of the statement
"I guess this will be how things go.."
Upon saying this, what Cameron sees ahead gives him the urge to lunge towards it
"Cynthia! Ryuku! It's been so long!"
Cynthia and Ryuku turn their heads left, where Cameron is at, Cynthia also lunges toward Cameron while Ryuku slowly walks with a smile on his face

"Second years? You're friends with second years?"
Crine shockingly exclaims
"That's absolutely great! We have students that had experience that we could ask help from!"
Hailie speaks out of nowhere, meanwhile Cynthia is interested on Hailie
"Your personality is absolutely like me! We could be twins!"
She tells Hailie with her hands on Hailie's shoulders.
Ryuku and Cameron on the other hand are just recapping what happened while the other was gone.
"Your Glyphs unlock when you are exposed to one."
Ryuku tells Cameron
"You already told me that. And we're going to have ours unlocked today, so just look forward to it!"
He replies, looking at his teammates that both nod their head in approval. The two groups then agree to go to the canteen and both go on their way.

At the canteen, the group continue to talk about school related things like their Glyphs and their type of weapons. Ryuku keeps on cutting off Cynthia whenever the freshmen ask about these and take the burden of explaining certain things to such curious people.

"Ryuku, you're a Scythe wielder.."
These words caught Ryuku's attention, focusing on Cameron. Having the other two astonished by the fact that someone's weapon is something considered to be very deadly and very hard to use
"…What kind of scythe do you wield?"
Hearing this, Cynthia grins at Ryuku and punches him lightly. Telling him that he might just have to show them, considering that he has been answering their questions.
Ryuku claps and then stands up
"Let's get to it then, follow us to the training room"

"I was just asking if he could tell us.. not show us.."
Cameron whispers to himself while walking towards the exit of the canteen
"Hey, we're going to witness a second year summon their weapon! Use their Glyph!"
Crine tells Cameron, clearly getting pretty excited
"To the right over here"
Ryuku shows the direction they have to move to get to the Training room

While walking, the second years tell stories of their life in their freshman year. How there will certainly be new things worth exploring and some wonders debunked. "What's your favourite fairy tale?"
Cynthia asks the group to which she stops them before they could say a word
"Keep it until later! We're already close!"

Ryuku opens the door to a black-to-white contrast coloured building, a cloud of air starts leaking out of the opening.
"Don't worry, just come in then close the door shut right after"
Ryuku tells the three
"I'll do it!"
Cynthia replies enthusiastically. They all come in the room, standing on a platform of clouds, the whole environment is composed of thick air and nothing but it. Benches form near the entrance and the other four sat on the benches while Ryuku walks forward to what seems to be the center of the room.

While Ryuku is trying to breathe calmly, Cynthia tells the group about what they'll be tackling next which are Glyphs. Known to be the inner life force of a person, these only expose themselves to the person when that certain person is exposed towards power of another one. The three freshmen, thinking that they'll unlock theirs right then and there, sadly it is not the case. Then the lady fixes her jacket and her glasses to be ready seeing Ryuku. The three follow through.

Ryuku reaches out his palm, prompting blue streaks of light to come out of his arm, forming a silhouette of a double edged scythe. Making the freshmen have their jaws drop from the sight, after a little while Cynthia snaps her fingers and the silhouette formed details to seem material. The summoner grabs the handle and shows off some moves, spinning the scythe around him until he forced it on solid ground.

Cynthia stands and tells Ryuku while clapping her hands
"It's been sUCH a long time since I've witnessed you do this, Ryu"
"A double edged scythe…"
Cameron says to himself in awe. Ryuku points at Cynthia and asks the group
"Want to witness Cynthia do the same thing?"
"Ryuku!.." she bloats her cheeks while walking to Ryuku, glaring at him, roiled that she was also dragged into it. Getting ready to summon, she tells Ryuku to move away and she starts focusing. The room glows with Cynthia's essence, just like Ryuku's, but pink. Upon seeing the silhouette, Crine had a thought
"She's a Spearman, a Swordsman subclass…"

By the time she finished, she just pushes it on the ground, now showing how much she didn't want to do it, she starts punching Ryuku back and forth
"I didn't agree to do this!" She squirms while continuing on punching Ryuku
"You know you could've said no" he replies with a pat on the head, stopping her onslaught. Leaving her in an awkward position, she quickly sprints to the door, leaving. "Some things never change.. well, kids, time is running. You better get back to your classrooms"
With one arm pushing each of the freshmen while the other desummonning the scythe.

All the students are in one big room, all sitting in rows of chairs forming a circle and the end expert on the middle of all of it.
"Today you will be unlocking your Glyphs, and we have some seniors that volunteered to do that for you."
"Hey, in fact, something did feel different after we got exposed to Cynthia and Ryuku's weapons.. was it just me or.." Crine asks the other two and Hailie replies "not just you"

the three focus on the center, the large doors at the sides creak open and the seniors come in the room. One of them was Ryuku, who finger guns towards the three, who wave hello as a response

"These will expose their Glyphs in a radius so that each and every one of you will unlock yours"
As the expert says that, Ryuku uses sign language to communicate with Hailie, telling her that being exposed now would just be useless because they already have been exposed earlier. The three come to a realization that it's why Cynthia didn't want to expose hers before hand because it'll "ruin" their own moment of unlocking their Glyphs.

The seniors glow up, coating themselves with their Glyph's essence. The colour of their essence corresponding with the colour dominant to their clothing. Despite the light being too bright the students don't seem to be blinded, everyone stare unto the light, questioning why their body isn't reacting how it normally would to same scenarios. It is then when the Glyph Expert tells them that the Glyph have four stages, and what they're witnessing as of the moment is the Glyph lending its magic to the person. What is currently occuring is the Glyph evolving to the first stage, giving the person enhanced healing, analysis processing, agility, and strength. Each being enhanced depending on what the person is in lack of, forming a balance of power between the four traits.

Everyone thought nothing happened but at the same time thought that something within them changed during the exposure. No one was sure, the expert threw a dagger north east of his direction, the students sitting on the chairs in that direction dodged the thrown dagger, some with little movement, others jumped away, and one caught the dagger midair. the Glyph Expert continues on explaining what Glyphs are. That these do make changes to your body as seen with the students who had to face the dagger he just threw. To end the session, he gave the students a reminder that there will be sparring matches between each student for the rest of the week. And they were dismissed

Hailie asks Cynthia
"Cynthia, why weren't you one of the volunteers?"
"Ah, you already got exposed to mine. I'd rather have you get exposed to Ryu's Glyph, and besides. There will be two pink Glyphs shining and I'm not one who likes repetition" she replies steadily
"Ah, understandable.." says Crine, looking down

"Their sparring matches will begin this week, too."
Ryuku talks out of the blue
"Wait so that means.." Cynthia whispers to herself
"Yes." Ryuku confirms
"NO CLASSES FOR THE WEEK. AND WE'LL BE WATCHING-" she turns around pointing on the three
"-YOU GUYS"
Crine asks a question while the other two are startled
"W-wait, so we'll start fighting each other by the week?"
Ryuku nods and adds extra information
"It's to get you a step closer on enhancing your Glyphs to the second stage. You guys want to get your weapons as early as now, don't you?"
"Indeed" Cameron replies
"Then just follow the school, you'll be like us as soon as the tournament starts!" Cynthia reminds the group
