After the incidents that occurred in the previous world, Kairi and the others managed to find out the secret of the cube that Yen Sid gave them, but doing so only made them more doubtful than before. Therefore, the group decided to head to the Mysterious Tower to discuss with Yen Sid what to do now.

At that moment, Yen Sid was looking from his chair at the map opened around him by the artifact placed on his table, with the millions of points represented as worlds floating around, while the girls silently watched from the other side of the table.

"Hmm, your guess is correct, Eve," Yen Sid replied. "This is the original layout of the worlds at the time when the fragments were divided."

"If it's true, Master Yen Sid, then we have a problem," Nina commented.

"I understand what you mean," Yen Sid said, looking at the points on the holographic map. "Being an old setting, any current map would be useless, as if a world was at one point, it might not be there right now."

"Then? Has this all been for nothing?" Edea asked.

"I doubt it. There must be a solution," Kairi said.

"That's right, Kairi," Yen Sid said. "I know this configuration and I have an idea which worlds are the ones you should go to, but it will take me some time to determine precisely where they are now."

"It's the only thing that we can do?" Kairi asked.

Yen Sid was thoughtful. "We could turn to our old trusty, let your heart be your guide, but chances are it leads you somewhere else, possibly harassed by the Fallen. Unfortunately, we cannot help all the worlds attacked by them, because the only way to stop their invasion is by defeating their master."

"Well then, it appears we will have to wait for now," Edea sighed.

"Well, now that we have to wait, maybe we should decide about someone in particular," Priere said, turning around.

They all did the same, seeing Makoto behind them some distance away.

"I certainly don't know what to do with you," Kairi said. "After all, you are with us to spy on me."

"Although it was nice that you asked us for permission to take you here," Eve said.

"Yeah, it's just that I don't have any other way to travel through the Lanes Between," Makoto said with a goofy smile and a hand behind her head.

"I wonder..," Edea began, turning to talk to Yen Sid like the others. "Do we really have to have someone watching Kairi all the time? I think the situation with her Esper Form is under control."

"I will be the one to decide that."

Everyone, including Makoto, turned at the voice, finding Nick Fury, director of S.H.I.E.L.D., in the room.

"Director Fury?" Edea asked in surprise.

"I must assume that the reason for your visit is for a good reason. Isn't that right, Nicholas?" Yen Sid asked.

"That's right, Yen Sid," Fury said as he moved past the girls to stand next to Yen Sid, turning to Edea. "And about your question, Miss Lee, yes, it is important that Agent Nanaya be in your group to monitor Kairi and inform us."

"And why?" Edea asked.

"That question will be better answered by the master here since he is also aware of the problem," Fury said.

"What problem?" Kairi asked.

"I suppose you all have noticed that when Kairi unleashes the power of her Phoenix blood, her personality becomes more aggressive, plus the wings she generates are mostly made of flames. Isn't that right?" Yen Sid asked.

They all looked at each other in silence at the question of Yen Sid before directing their gaze back to him.

"Yes, that's how it is. And what does that have to do?" Priere asked.

Yen Sid took a deep breath. "Those two details are a clear sign that Kairi is not using her power as she should. In other words, Kairi's Esper Form is incomplete."

"Incomplete?" They all asked, making everyone look at Kairi.

"Are you implying that I'm not using this power as I should?" Kairi asked.

"It is clear that there is something in you that is making you unable to use that power properly," Fury said. "When we found out what happened at the Order of the Phoenix's tower, we decided to send Makoto to watch you and report back to us," Then he looked at Makoto. "Although I expected a more passive and less inclusive approach since originally you were not to make contact with the group at any time."

"Yeah, sorry, sir. Things didn't turn out the way they should," Makoto replied.

Fury sighed. "Well, there's nothing you can do now, so you'll have to have her by your side for the rest of your travel, Miss Kairi."

"I understand…" Kairi said thoughtfully.

"Umm, I have a doubt," Nina said. "What exactly are we going to do while Yen Sid tries to figure out where the worlds we need to visit are?"

"It's obvious. We must find out what's wrong with Kairi's Esper Form and try to fix it," Eve said. "We already know very well what could happen if Kairi loses control of her Esper Form."

"That's right. But how? Does anyone know how to help the half-breed child of a Supreme Eidolon with his problems? Because I wouldn't even know where to begin with," Edea said.

"Maybe we should find someone, like some scholar who can help her," Makoto said.

"Really? I had not thought of it!" Edea exclaimed sarcastically. "And where the heck do we find one?!" Edea asked Makoto, who shrugged.

Yen Sid thought for a moment.

"Maybe I know of someone," Yen Sid said, making everyone look at him. "I know someone who has great knowledge of both Eidolon and Espers. He calls himself Lev, and he could help you with Kairi's incomplete transformation."

"Oh, good thinking. I hadn't heard from him in a long time. If anyone can help with that issue, it's him," Said Yen Sid.

"Well, where can we find this Lev?" Edea asked.

Yen Sid directed his gaze to Edea, giving her his answer.

"Are you kidding me?!" Edea exclaimed so loudly that she was heard from outside the tower.

Sometime later, Kairi and the other girls were going through a lush forest without any problem.

"Who would have thought that the one who would help us was a teacher," Kairi said.

"Honestly, it shouldn't surprise us, really," Nina said. "It will be nice to know how the studies are in his school."

"I think the term Yen Sid used was boarding school," Eve commented.

"Yeah, well, someone seems not to be enthusiastic about the idea," Makoto said, pointing behind them.

Behind the group was Edea, who was walking reluctantly and visibly sulking.

"Come on, Edea. Just relax. You'll see how it's not that bad," Rena said.

Edea just grunted reluctantly as she kept walking.

"Girls, we have arrived," Eve said.

Coming out of the forest, they found themselves before a large castle with pink walls and blue roofs with a large central courtyard surrounded by the castle structures. The group made their way through the entrance to the courtyard, noticing that everywhere teenage girls were talking to each other while carrying various books with them.

"Look, Edea. It's not bad at all," Kairi said.

"Nothing bad?" Edea asked. "Are you forgetting that this place is a school for fairies?"

Edea's reluctant behavior was understandable, since her only relationship with fairies was with Airy, and everyone already knows how that relationship ended.

"Come on Edea," Makoto said. "Not all fairies have to be evil."

"Are you sure about that?" Edea asked, crossing her arms. "What if one of these students has evil intentions for the future?"

"How about a bet?" Makoto asked. "If we don't find evil fairies here, you should stop behaving like that. But, if we meet even one evil fairy, myself, Rena, Nina, and Priere we will wear a bikini for as long as we're at school," She proposed to her with a smile.

"Hey!" Rena, Nina, and Priere exclaimed.

"Don't decide those things without asking first!" Rena replied to Makoto.

"Calm down, calm down, that's not going to happen," Makoto said to the girls before looking at Edea. "What do you say?"

"Well, that's okay. But in the end, I will be right," Edea said with a shrug.

"Okay, okay, ladies. Can you tell what this fuss is about?" Said a white-haired, bearded middle-aged man with blue eyes, wearing bluish-toned Victorian clothing, even wearing a matching Victorian cape.

"Calm mister. It's just a little dispute," Kairi said. "By the way, do you know where we can find Professor Lev?"

The man chuckled a little. "Oh, sure. You're talking to him right now," He said with a smile.

"Really?" Kairi asked in surprise.

"Wow, that was fast," Priere said.

"If you're looking for me, that must mean that you're Kairi, right?" Professor Lev asked.

"Yes, that's it," Kairi agreed. "How did you know?"

"Oh, Yen Sid told me of your arrival," He answered, before fixing on Edea. "Any problem with your friend?"

"Oh, calm down, there's nothing to worry about. Problems with fairies in the past," Kairi said.

"Nothing, you say?" Edea asked, arching an eyebrow.

"Well, in any case, I hope I can help you with your problem, Kairi. All I ask is that you attend some classes. You get nowhere without knowledge," Lev said.

"Classes?!" Kairi put her hands on her head. "Hell, with all this Fallen trouble I forgot to notify both my school and my classmates!"

Lev laughed. "I think that's already taken care of in your absence, Kairi."

"Professor Lev?"

The man turned, seeing how an elderly woman dressed in a long-sleeved pink shirt with ruffles at the ends, a navy blue vest with white trims and a purple button, a long light pink skirt that held it close to ankle length, and black heels with yellow buckles.

"Headmistress Faragonda! You have come at a good time. I wish to introduce you to someone," Lev told the woman, soon pointing at Kairi. "This is Kairi. I already told you about her the other day. She will attend some of the classes to solve her problem."

"Yes, you've already told me about the matter, Professor," Faragonda said, turning to Kairi with a smile. "I hope your stay at our school is pleasant, miss."

"I hope so too, Miss Headmistress," Kairi said.

Then Faragonda looked at the others. "And I hope that even though you have only been invited, you behave in an exemplary way," They all nodded, except Edea, who continued to scowl.

"Did you want something from me, Headmistress Faragonda?" Lev asked Faragonda.

"Yes, I came to tell you that the gym is ready for your class, Professor," Faragonda replied.

"That's fine. But I'll have to put it to a special use now that she's here," Lev said, referring to Kairi. "It would also be nice if you attended. Just to help us to get better plan classes after the session."

"Yeah, I think she would be fine," Faragonda replied. "I'll have to prepare a room for the lady anyway."

"Oh, it won't be necessary. I think she will do well with the new student," Lev said.

"Are you sure about that?" The woman asked with concern.

"Oh, don't worry, Headmistress. I will take responsibility for any problem," Lev said.

"Professor!" She said a voice approaching them.

All the girls in the group except Makoto raised their eyebrows in confusion at the voice and turned to see who was speaking, their jaws dropped as they saw a human-sized fairy with pale skin and long white hair approaching. silver and gray eyes, wearing a short sleeveless white dress with a blue gem on the chest along with black ribbon-like stockings and gloves, with butterfly wings that are white with black edges. She seemed to be carrying a notebook in her arms.

"Yes Airy?" Lev asked.

"I have a question about yesterday's lesson. What did he mean that the magic of one class can masquerade as another?" Airy said with an unknown face.

"Oh, that?" Lev asked. "It's pretty simple if you think about it. Sometimes magic that is supposed to be black magic is used as if it were white magic. At the same time, there is white magic that acts like black magic. As you know, black magic is focused on harming, while white magic is focused on helping, but there we have the Haste spell, which is in the realm of black magic, but it helps the recipient of the spell. And then there are spells like Aero and Holy, white magic spells that deal damage. That can confuse in some cases when used. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I think so," Airy said, nodding.

At that moment he noticed a familiar presence, and when he looked he realized that Kairi and the others were there.

"Airy?!" All the girls except Makoto exclaimed seeing the fairy.

"Hey?! What are you doing here?!" Airy asked in shock.

"No! What are YOU doing here?!" Edea asked, pointing at Airy. "Yen Sid said that they took care of you after what happened in the tower!"

"And that's what I'm taking care of," Lev said, making the girls look at him. "Since that day I have been in charge of his indoctrination in what I call 'the path to a new path to find her own path'."

"What a mouthful," Priere said with a frown.

"That doesn't matter!" Edea exclaimed. "Doesn't anyone know what she did in the past?"

"Please don't remind me," Airy said, puffing out her cheeks and looking away.

"We are well aware of Miss Airy's troubled past, thanks for asking," Faragonda said, crossing her arms. "It was Mr. Yen Sid's idea to send her here, to begin with."

"The first news I receive," Kairi said in disbelief.

"Well, here's your second piece of news, she will be your roommate," Lev said.

"Are you kidding me?" Kairi and Airy asked at the same time.

"Well, look, it's not a joke, but they say that I usually make some very good jokes," Lev said, laughing out loud and making everyone present look at him like a weirdo. He gave a fake cough to stop himself from laughing. "Well, I have to go. I have to prepare for a special class," She said before heading to the school.

"This must be a joke," Kairi said.

"Tell me, I'm going to have to share a bedroom with you," Airy said, frowning.

"Well, this has been interesting, isn't it?" Makoto said with a smile.

"Ehm, Makoto," Eve said. "We've met Airy before, and she's what we think of as an evil fairy."

Makoto flinched when Eve spoke, causing her to turn to Rena, Nina, and Priere, who was glaring at her with murderous eyes with something like 'a background of fire' behind them, making the squirrel girl break out in a sweat by how nervous she had.

"Makoto," Rena said, clenching her fist tightly, while Priere cracked her knuckles and Nina flapped her wings threateningly.

Makoto giggled as she saw the furious girls in front of her immediately running at full speed as the others followed her across the garden to the confused looks of the female students present.

"Come back here, Makoto! Don't run away!" Priere exclaimed as she ran after Makoto.

"Don't run, it's going to be worse!" Rena exclaimed, running after the squirrel girl.

"You wait, we are going to teach you to bet on others without permission!" Nina exclaimed as she flew to catch up with them.

"Goodbye to exemplary behavior," Kairi said, watching the four of them run around the campus, while Faragonda shook her head in disapproval.

Edea and Eve looked at what had happened, while Airy was left looking confused by what was happening. The fairy turned to ask.

"Better not ask," Eve suggested Airy raising a hand, causing Airy to just turn her gaze to the chase.

Later, in the school gym, several students were standing, including Kairi and Airy, watching Professor Lev who was on one side of the room. While at the same time the Headmistress Faragonda and several teachers who did not have class at the time were present.

"Good morning, students. Thank you for coming to the gym," The teacher said to the students. "I know we had a special practical class for today, but something has happened. To begin with, I would like to introduce a new student who will be attending our classes. Kairi, say hello, please."

The students turned their gaze to Kairi, who was greeted with some embarrassment.

"In case you're wondering, this student is special, despite not being human," That caused the students to talk among themselves in confusion, while Kairi shrugged in embarrassment. "You'll see why later."

"I would also like to emphasize the escorts that go with Miss Kairi, who are in the background," Lev said, causing the students to turn, and look at the rest of the group.

There was Eve and Edea, who was with her arms crossed. There was also Rena who was currently wearing a green bikini, Priere who was wearing a white bikini with a blue skirt, and Nina wearing a black bikini. These three glared angrily at Makoto who was next to her wearing a brown bikini, smirking, as she was the only one who didn't mind wearing a bikini that exposed the girls' voluptuous bodies.

"Better avoid asking why they are wearing a bikini. Their business," The teacher said, making the students focus on him. "Well, this class will help us learn about certain aspects of magic," he said, signaling to Kairi. "Kairi, can you come closer?"

Kairi looked at him confused, but she moved closer to him before the looks of the students.

"Well, let's go by steps," Lev said, rubbing his hands together once. "Kairi, could you summon it please?"

Kairi looked at the teacher with more confusion, but when she saw her look, she understood what she wanted, so she decided to summon her Keyblade before everyone, who was amazed. Except for Airy of course.

"Thank you Kairi," Lev said, before turning his gaze to the class. "Does anyone know what Kairi has in her hand?"

For a moment there was silence, while the students looked at each other confused.

"Um, I might be wrong…" A lightly tanned young girl with long blonde hair that reaches below her waist and golden amber eyes began to say. "...but I think that's a keyblade."

"Good answer, Stella," Lev said. "For those who don't know, a keyblade is a unique weapon, as it is not only used to face the darkness. It also has the power to open and close any type of lock. This weapon can only be used by those who are deemed worthy," The teacher explained. "And thank goodness, imagine if a thief had one. The number of houses that he would plunder!" The teacher joked, making the students laugh.

"Haha, I burst out laughing," Edea said quietly.

"Anyway, no jokes," Lev said. "This weapon is also capable of using magic, depending on its user. But that is getting into a very deep topic and we don't have all day," The professor said, now directing his gaze to Kairi. "Okay, Kairi. Could you do us the honor of revealing your inner power?"

Kairi looked at the professor, understanding what he wanted. She closed her eyes to concentrate, and shortly after her body was surrounded by flames, surprising the students, who watched as when the flames disappeared, she had transformed into her Esper Form, Airy included. They were surprised to see how the young Kairi had transformed into a young adult with the legs and forearms of a bird and wings burning with fire behind her. Kairi's eyes opened seriously, looking at the teacher.

"Well, does anyone know what this is? Oh rather, what is Miss Kairi?" Lev asked, not taking his eyes off Kairi at the silence of the students.

"She's an Esper, sir," A young woman with a fair skin tone, blue-green eyes, and magenta-colored hair that was cut in an asymmetrical bob cut on the right side with a single strand of small hair sticking out of it answered. This one seemed to have some kind of holographic screen in front of her, catching Eve's attention.

"Tecna, I have already told you that there is no use of the Web to search for information in class if its use is not specified. And with that being said, good answer," Lev said. "And does anyone know what an esper is?"

"It's a hybrid," A slightly fair-skinned girl with waist-length orange-red hair with a single wisp of small hair sticking out from it and large cyan eyes answered. "A mix between a human and an Eidolon."

"Very good, Bloom," Lev said, causing Kairi to glance sideways at the girl named Bloom for a moment. "What we see is what is called an 'awakening'. When the power of it is released, the person transforms into an Esper Form, taking on aspects from their Eidolon father or mother. In this case, from her father the Phoenix, one of the three supremes."

"Um, a question, Professor," Asked a tanned-skinned young woman with long light brown hair with bangs framing each side of her face with visible blonde streaks and narrow jade green eyes. "What if she had more powers than her father's?"

"Good question, Flora," Lev said. "The ones in the background, can you answer?"

The girls stared at each other in surprise, until Eve responded. "In the case of using the power of another Eidolon, what would happen would be that he acquires an armor or suit that represents the Eidolon in question."

"A weaker form of this power, but still to be respected," Lev said. "Well, since we're… looking at Kairi, and assuming you were listening to our class on Eidolons the other day, does anyone see what's wrong here?"

Kairi looked at the professor in surprise, saying that her transformation was flawed. Yen Sid already explained it to him before, but did he already see the failures as soon as she transformed?

The students were looking at Kairi with doubt and confusion, while she was looking back at them.

"Does that mean glare she uses with us counts?" A girl with light, almost pale skin tone, dark blue hair and thin dark blue eyes asked.

"Umm, something like that, Musa. Something like that," Lev said. "Anything else?"

"The wings, Professor," Said a young girl with a slightly fair skin tone, waist-length pinkish purple hair with blonde tips, and deep violet eyes. "Biologically her wings should be feathered, supposedly the same as her father's. But in this case, her wings are flames of burning fire."

"Correct answer, Roxy," Lev said. "Her more serious behavior and the wings of fire are clear examples that her transformation is not complete. imperfect. Defective."

"Sorry to interrupt you, Professor," Kairi interrupted. "But in this form, I have made Death flee. I have defeated very powerful paranormal entities, and I have even defeated a Destroyer God with this power. So watch what you say!" Kairi said seriously.

"All thanks to us and the Ghostbusters," Makoto commented.

"Shut up!" Rena, Priere, and Nina exclaimed at the same time.

"Oh, so you think you can take on powerful beings, right?" Lev asked. "Why don't you try me? Let's see where you get your power from."

"As you like," Kairi said, immediately preparing to fight.

The students watched in surprise at what was happening, while Rena put her hand on her head in disbelief.

"Here we go again," Nina said, shaking her head.

"Headmistress Faragonda, please," Lev said to the director present.

She shook her head in dismissal of the idea, but then she held up her hands, creating a protective dome around Kairi and Professor Lev, locking the others out of the dome.

"Come on, I'm waiting," Lev said, teasing her with his hand.

Kairi scowled and lunged at the professor, beginning to swing the Keyblade with speed and fury. But he seemed to be faster and more agile, dodging each of the attacks that Kairi threw at him with his keyblade, until he released a pulse of energy that pushed Kairi backward, breathing hard after his effort and the blow received.

"Tell me, Kairi. How did you release your power?" Lev asked Kairi

Kairi gave him a serious look. "When the dark lord's lackey threatened those who were dear to me. I was not willing to let them do what they did to me. The same thing they did to my people. The same thing they did to my mother!" Kairi said with not only seriousness in her voice, but also anger.

"Rage. That explains everything," Lev said. "You unleashed your power from anger at the damage inflicted and the threat to your loved ones. A very strong trigger, but not perfect. In fact, all it does is increase your fury when you transform. If you let your rage take you, you will get nowhere, you will never defeat the dark lord, and you will never avenge your mother!" Lev said with seriousness on his face. "It will only lead you to darkness!"

Kairi frowned furiously, beginning to prepare a powerful fire spell at the tip of her keyblade.

"Stop her!" Rena exclaimed seeing what Kairi was up to.

Before anyone could act, Kairi launched a huge fireball at Lev, causing a huge explosion of fire on impact, incinerating the professor's location in a large fireball. Everyone was terrified of what happened.

Kairi stared seriously at the destruction she had caused until suddenly she felt her body undergo a discharge of magical energy that made her kneel, canceling her transformation and returning to her normal form. At that moment the flames faded, revealing that Professor Lev was not only intact but was pointing his arm at Kairi, presumably using a spell that nullified his transformation.

Kairi breathed hard into her hands on the ground as Lev moved closer to her.

"You must understand, Kairi. Until you understand the true extent of your power and what it stands for until you see the way forward, you will only wreak destruction in your wake," Lev said as he stood in front of Kairi, who raised her head to look at him. "If you allow me to help you, and you accept the school's help, maybe we can find a way for you to unleash your true power."

Lev reached out to Kairi to help her up. She was thoughtful for a moment until she accepted her help by getting up from the ground. With a glance from the professor, Faragonda undid the protective barrier, and with a gesture from the professor, Kairi returned to her place among the students, who were as surprised as they were frightened by her power.

"That was very close," Eve said, after seeing what happened.

"Maybe this will take a lot of time," Makoto said, scratching his head, immediately receiving a serious look from the bikini-clad girls.

After the demonstration's incident, Lev began teaching the remainder of the class a lesson on magic. All the students were attentive to his theoretical and practical explanations, answering different questions from him. Edea noticed that Kairi had some problems expressing herself, probably after what happened, but even so, she seemed attentive to the lesson. She also noticed Airy, who seemed to be wary of having Kairi near her, the fairy was paying attention as well.

Edea didn't like the idea that Airy was still alive, after all, she's been through because of her, and the problems she and the others had in the past. The mere fact that that fairy was now a student clashed with her idea of her. At that moment she began to remember her entire journey both in her world and in the ones she ended with Airy's lies, remembering how she was devoured by her Uroboros master.

Then she realized something important. Did the Fallen truly bring her back to her life? If so, why does it seem like she's going it alone instead of using all the resources of the Fallen? It is true that in Troy she tried to use the Fallen for her own interests, but that was it, to use them. And she also had to cooperate with people like Thanos to complete her plan.

And isn't it really weird that Death tried to kill her in the Phoenix Tower when they beat her, instead of helping her? Even when she mentioned that the Fallen brought her back? Clearly, something strange was going on here.

Edea looked from her to Airy, more precisely to her wings. If her theory was true, these wings would have a very distinctive number pattern: a zero. After Airy's betrayal, Edea realized, along with her companions at the time, that the symbol of the wings changed every time they jumped to another world, like the countdown numbers, until it reached zero, at which point Airy revealed her true colors. With that in mind, she focused on the fairy's wings while she was focused on the class.

The marking on the wings was not a number, it was rather a symbol similar to a horizontal eight, the symbol of infinity.

Edea was confused when she saw the symbol of Airy's wings.

After the day's remaining classes, while she got to know some of the Alfea students, Kairi was escorted to the dormitory where she would spend the nights… with Airy. While the rest of the girls would have to go to several empty bedrooms.

At dusk, Kairi got ready to go to bed, but she noticed that Airy was already lying on her bed, her back to her, but she knew that she was not asleep.

Kairi sighed for a second with her eyes closed, before turning her gaze back to Airy.

"Look, I know you don't like me. I don't like you at all either. We've had our quarrels ever since we fought in the Coliseum," Kairi said seriously. "But I know Master Yen Sid. And if he has sent you here despite everything you've done, it will be for a good reason. The question here is, what is that reason?

"Leave me alone, okay?" Airy asked without turning around.

"Hey, I'm just giving you my opinion. It's not to be like that," Kairi said.

"Be like this?!" Airy turned around, very upset. "Do you have any idea what I'm going through? Yes, I had to break the walls of the worlds as I was told, at any cost. Do you know how my first worlds were and what I felt? Do you know how I felt when I had to kill those who helped me so as not to leave witnesses to my actions? At first, I felt awful! But I had a mission, and I was forced to keep and keep, and keep, and keep those feelings in a box deep inside me so they wouldn't stop me. And as soon as I get close to that damn tower and it seizes its power, that damn box explodes right in my face, making me feel everything, right down to my last past action!"

Kairi was speechless at Airy's outburst.

"Now, all I want is to learn to live with this power, and get off the map! So don't nag me, and let's focus on what we're here for, okay?" Airy demanded, before rolling over to lie down.

Kairi stared at Airy in silence, thinking about what the fairy told her.

The next day, in Professor Lev's class, the students were in front of a cabinet that was shaking with great fierceness, and whatever was inside was screaming with a terrifying noise, scaring the students. Kairi didn't know why that was in this class.

"Does anyone know what's inside?" Lev asked.

There was only silence among the students until one responded.

"It's an Iracon, sir."

"Very well. And does anyone know what shape an Iracon is?" the teacher asked.

"Nobody knows," Roxy replied. "An Iracon initially feeds on a person's feeling of anger and hatred, thus transforming into what one hates and feeling more anger, acquiring more power the more anger it draws from its victim, which makes them-"

"Extremely terrifying and dangerous beings not only for the victim but for those who are close. Thank you Roxy," Said the teacher. "The Iracon is a relative of another monster called the Boggart, resident in another world, which preys on the fear of its victims. But both have the same weak point, and that is laughter. If you force him to turn it into something that makes you laugh, he will lose all its power. Did you understand?"

Everyone, including Kairi, nodded.

"The spell in question that we will learn to use is called 'Riddikulus'," The teacher explained. "Repeat it."

At his command, all the students said aloud the spell to use.

"That spell sure looks ridiculous," Said Priere, as she and the others were at the back of the room.

"I don't think so, sometimes the spells with weird names are the most powerful," Nina corrected Priere.

Edea simply ignored their conversation and continued to observe the class.

"Very well, students. If you use the spell against the Iracon thinking about what makes you laugh the most, they will be weakened. We'll do a test now," Lev said, before pointing at Bloom. "Bloom, come closer."

Bloom looked confused as he approached the professor.

"Tell me, what do you feel anger the most when you think about it?" Lev asked.

Bloom folded her arms for a thoughtful moment, muttering a name under her breath.

"Could you say it louder, Bloom?"

"The Trix," Bloom answered aloud.

"The Trix?" Kairi asked as the students commented among themselves.

"A trio of warlocks who have wreaked havoc on the world, from what I understand," Airy replied.

"Hm, normal, with the troubles they have caused in these past few years, who wouldn't be sick of them," The professor said with a shrug. "I guess especially with Icy, right?" She nodded her head. "Okay, okay. From what I know, you live with your adoptive parents in Gardenia, I feel your father is a firefighter, am I wrong?

"No, but do you expect it to become him?" Bloom asked, arching an eyebrow, making people laugh.

"Okay, my bad. I have not expressed myself well," Lev said, raising his hands. "Now, I want you to think only of your father's uniform, just that, and keep it in your mind."

Bloom began to think, opening her mouth to speak, but the Professor interrupted her. "Do not speak. If you see it, we will all see it," Said the teacher. "When I open the closet, I want you to do this," He said and leaned close to Bloom's ear. "Imagine Icy in your father's firefighter uniform," He whispered in her ear.

Bloom looked at him confused for a moment.

"You can do it?" the teacher asked. Seeing her nod, she smiled, coming up behind Bloom. "Alright, get ready. One, two, Three."

On the count of three, Lev cast a spell on the closet door, causing it to swing open. As the door began to move, a pale-skinned young woman with ice-blue eyes, long silver-blue hair that was mostly tied back in a high ponytail with a headband at the back, stepped out of it. a dark teal tube shape with two long curly hairs flowing past her ears and ending on her chest in the front, wearing light blue eyeshadow, pale purple lipstick that made her lips look frozen, and long blue fingernails, dressed in a navy blue jumpsuit with dull tones on her suit, a navy cape tied between two fasteners on her shoulders, and boots of a darker shade of blue. Most of the female students tensed upon seeing the girl.

Kairi knew that that girl, which the Iracon had become, was the one named Icy that they mentioned earlier.

Bloom, seeing Icy's figure approaching her with a sinister smile, could feel her blood boiling, but the professor put his hand on her shoulder.

"Now think about it. Do not be put off," Lev said behind her.

Bloom prepared the magic of him and extended her hand against the Iracon-Icy. "Riddikulus!"

At once, the suit that the Iracon-Icy wore ended up being transformed into a firefighter's uniform. That sudden transformation and the fact that she looked ridiculous in that dress made the whole class burst out laughing, while the creature looked totally confused. Even Edea almost burst out laughing, while Makoto and Priere were laughing at the top of their lungs. Even Airy laughed along with the others.

"Very well, Bloom. Perfect," Professor Lev said with a smile, before addressing the rest of the class. "Okay, everyone line up, come on."

At his direction, they all lined up in a row, beginning to face one by one with the Iracon, initially taking the appearance of something or someone that seemed to anger the student, but she used the assigned spell to give her a funny aspect, always unleashing the laughter of the whole class.

Eventually, it was Airy's turn, who positioned himself in front of Iracon. The fairy then stared at the being, coming to clench her fist tightly. Edea recovered from so much "ridiculousness" and noticed her. Edea was sure that the Iracon would transform into her or one of her previous travel companions in Luxendarc, although she did not doubt that it would transform into one of her girls or even Kairi.

Kairi, who was several students behind Airy, was also looking at the fairy and what the Iracon would transform into. Neither of them noticed that Lev was also staring at Airy at that moment as if he had some premonition.

At that moment the Iracon began to transform, but it did not transform into any of Edea's acquaintances. What's more, what she saw turned her face pale and she instinctively grabbed her weapon with her hand. The Iracon in question transformed into a large dragon-like monstrosity with several tentacles protruding from its back, four arms, a large horn, and a face jewel that serves as its regeneration system, several tails hanging below it in place of legs and a structure with orbs at the tips resembling the frilly neck of a jester, most of its face covered in shadow and featureless save for two glowing white eyes. All the students backed away at the sight of the huge creature, while Airy felt both hatred and fear for the huge creature that the Iracon had become. Even Kairi prepared her keyblade while the others prepared to fight, as the mere presence of her was making the aura tremble, even the entire school.

"Here!" Professor Lev exclaimed, moving in front of Airy to protect her and putting himself between her and the Iracon.

Sensing the professor's presence, the Iracon began to transform again, this time into a huge sea serpent whose fins seemed to be wings because of how huge they were.

"Riddikulus!" Lev cast a cold spell, causing the Iracon to turn into a huge firework rocket that began to fly across the room until it entered the closet, at which point the professor closed the door, locking him inside.

Lev sighed when it was all over, directing his gaze to the students who seemed to be upset by what had happened.

"Is everyone alright?" The teacher asked, receiving different affirmative answers from the students.

"What happened?" Makoto asked.

"I… I have no idea," Nina answered.

Suddenly the gate of the aura was flung open.

"Professor Levi!" Headmistress Faragonda exclaimed as she entered, clearly irritated. "Can you tell me what happened?!"

The teacher looked at the principal, before addressing the class. "Okay, class is over for today. Go to the classroom of your next class. I will stay with the headmistress to explain what happened."

At her indication, the students began to leave the class while Faragonda went to talk to the teacher. Kairi approached her companions, all noticing that Airy was leaving the room with a hand on her arm, feeling sadness.

"This class has been intense," Kairi commented.

"I don't understand," Edea said, making the girls look at her. "Why?"

"Edea, what's wrong?" Kairi asked.

"That creature… that the Iracon transformed into. I know her," Edea said. "And I never thought she would see that abomination again."

Edea looked from her to the girls. "That being was Airy's teacher. He was Ouroboros."

"Was that Ouroboros?" Rena asked, remembering the story that Edea told her and Kairi long ago.

"Yes, that's how it is," Edea said, with a lost look, with confusion on her face. "But, if that's the case... does she really hate him that much?"

Somewhere above the clouds was the Fortress of Light, a huge fortress that was used as a prison for magical criminals, who were treated and indoctrinated to purge their dark instincts.

Among the prisoners were three young girls who were working reluctantly in the garden. These were a pale-skinned young woman with ice blue eyes, long silvery blue hair that was mostly tied back in a high ponytail with a dark teal tube-shaped hair band with two long curly hair flowing past her ears and ending on her chest in the front, with light blue eyeshadow, pale purple lipstick that made her lips look frozen, and long blue (Icy) nails; a young woman with a fair skin tone, long brown hair that fell to her knees with dirty blonde bangs that flowed to her thighs on either side, dark golden cat-like eyes, and a small hooked nose, with lilac eyeshadow and purple lipstick (Darcy); and a woman with a tan complexion, blue-green eyes, and dark purple curly hair that was cloud-like with paler bangs that flowed down and rested on her shoulders in the form of rays, a small hair peeking out from the top of her head. head, with dark pink eyeshadow and lipstick (Stormy), the Trix. They all wore large white clothes and green diadems on their heads.

"Argh, I really hate having to be here, you know that?" Darcy commented as she worked in the garden.

"Certain. I would have preferred a different punishment than having to spend time in this damned place," Stormy said. "If it wasn't for the guards and these damn circlets..."

"Shut up! Or you will have the guards give us another reprimand," Icy ordered, glancing sideways at the temple guards.

"Seriously, how long do we have to be here?" Stormy asked.

"Don't worry, Stormy. Someday our time will come," Icy said. "We just have to have some patience."

"Patience, huh? As if we had nothing else to do," Darcy said.

Just at that moment, the sky of the place was darkened with huge dark clouds.

"Wow, did you guys see that?" Stormy said, looking up, making the others look up.

"Yeah, looks like this is going to get interesting," Icy commented.

The guards became very tense seeing the change in weather. Immediately a large dark portal opened within the garden, and immediately countless Bats and Specters poured out of it, causing chaos in the fortress. At the same time, dozens of Sentinels and Guardians appeared from behind the portal attacking the guards and easily subduing them.

With the guards subdued, dozens of Armor Knights poured out of the portal advancing towards the Trix, forming a corridor between them and the portal. When everyone lined up, the witch Salome appeared from the portal, accompanied by several black catmen next to her (Werecats).

"Good good. I must assume that you are the famous Trix. Am I wrong?" Salome asked.

"Perhaps. And who are you?" Icy asked.

"Oh, where are my manners?" The witch laughed a little. "My name is Salome. You've heard of me, haven't you?

The Trix looked at each other in surprise.

"We know who you are! You were one of the most powerful witches in Cloud Tower until you disappeared over a decade ago!" Darcy exclaimed.

"Where have you been?" Stormy asked.

"Oh, let's just say that I am now in the service of a higher being," Salome replied.

"I can see that," Darcy said, looking at the Fallen. "I have read about these things, but I never thought they could be controlled."

"True, although I would like to know what you want from us, Salome," Icy commented.

"Well, let's say I have plans, and I think you guys could be of use to me," Salome said. "There is currently someone in Alfea that I want to wipe out. And if my information is correct, there is someone you want to give what they deserve, isn't there?"

The Trix looked at each other, smiling mischievously.
