Dear Diary,

To think that I'd start to be on better terms with Heartslabyul of all the dorms.

So much had occurred that I'm surprised I could even absorb all of it. But the end results: Riddle is being set on a better path and he and I forgave each other.

As for me, my powers, that spell used to free him while he was in Overblot mode... 'Liberato Magia' it was called. Ophelia said I wasn't ready to cast it. Not until I'm at a certain level I can wield it. Whatever the case, the spell is bookmarked for preference. Maybe it won't be the last time I'll see it.....in the meantime, I must try and hone my mana....

Overblot....the name itself sounds dangerous....but I've a hunch that like the spell, this won't be the last time it'll occur....

"Now, remember what I've taught you?"

" 'Mana: the spiritual life force energy or healing power that permeates the universe'." I recite as I carefully balance and control the light spheres in my hands. I move my arms carefully around my body, like holding precious China tea cups in my hands.

"And?"

"It's the power of the elemental forces of nature that are embodied in an object or person. It can also be referred to as the soul or insight of a human. It's an invisible potency believed to inhabit people, objects or other phenomena who have extraordinary power, or magical energy. Bonus: in philosophical terms: A concept of spirit force, 'mana' is also conceived as a mysterious stuff that permeates all things. It's to be found in all things whatsoever regardless of their special nature and generic distinction."

"Excellent!" The spheres vanish and I drop my arms. "You've really done your work, Charlotte. I'm proud of you."

"I'm always the kind of person who takes her homework seriously, Ophelia!" I smiled. She laughed, a musical laugh.

"Of course! You've proving it in that one month time span! Well, that'll be all for today. And Keep up the good work." She assured. The light absorbed me, as I said my goodbyes.

"Why do I hear wind?" I murmured.

My vision cleared as I saw Pride Rock. And Mufasa walking towards the ledge.
He stood with Sarabi and Rafiki as the shaman held Simba up in the air.

"I have a feeling of who I'll encounter next..."

The first thing I heard when I woke up was Grim mumbling in his sleep.

"Wait...did he roar just now?" I ask as I got up, starting to prep for the day.

"How's that? Now you'll witness the power of the Great Grim!" I heard him mumble from the bedroom, as I finished brushing my teeth. After rinsing, I looked in the mirror, already clad in my uniform, and smiled as I brushed out my hair, and tied it back in the braid.

"Cmon, Grim, get up!" I smiled, tying my hair elastic in.

"I showed that Tyrant Riddle who's boss~" his eyes open sleepily. Then sat up abruptly. "Huh? The Ramshackle Dorm?!" He whipped his head around. Then his smile fell. "It was just a dream.... I thought I took Riddle out and became the strongest wizard ever! So disappointing..." I chuckled as I sling my bag over my shoulder.

"We just have to keep training!" I remind him.

"Right! Time to get moving! Another day closer to becoming a great wizard! Y'know~!" He leaps into my arms.

We made it the cafeteria as soon as possible. After a long time in class yet again, all I wanted was a nice meal and set to the rest of my day.
