 Melinda: Good thing our camp happened to be here. Really, just what were you thinking going to that forest! You know that forest is infested with monsters.- Though I was thankful that people from the Landar camp saved me from the monsters, I was embarrassed that my family had to see me this way.
- But it's impolite not to say anything. Now, Aisha! Be calm and show some dignity. Like it's nothing special!
- Though she didn't particularly feel like tea, Aisha took a sip to feign calmness.
- But that proved to be a mistake, as the burning hot tea seemed to cook her mouth and throat. She felt tears gather, but she desperately swallowed the tea and answered the question.
 Aisha: ... I went to find the ingredients for a potion.- Melinda: A potion? What for?
- Ugh, I should have expected them to ask this question. Aisha briefly contemplated to make an excuse, but decided to answer truthfully.
- Aisha: ... To... increase... my mana...
- There was a brief moment of silence, broken by a roaring round of laughter.
- Pavel: The Great Aisha? Making such a rookie mistake?
- Melinda: Aw, don't be like that. It's a phase everyone goes through. Being scolded for trying all sorts of things to increase their mana is a natural part of growing up.
- Pavel: You have a lot of mana since you were little, so you never done anything like this. To think you would fall for the same inclination now that you're lacking mana.
- Aisha: (Uuugh, it's humiliating that they're treating me like an average kid.)
- Denev: Since she was little? She's still very young, isn't she?
- A brunette asked.
- Melinda: I suppose you wouldn't know. Aisha really was one of a kind. She mastered fire magic just by watching over Master Kuenbaran. She just turned 5 at the time, I believe?
- Denev: She mastered fire magic by herself when she was 5 years old? That's amazing!
- Melinda: I was there. I told her that although impressive, she shouldn't use fire magic since it's too dangerous, and you know what she said to me?
- Nooo! Stop bringing up all these embarrassing stories! Aisha screamed internally. That was ages ago! I'm 14 this year, you know!
- Melinda: She said, 'It's not dangerous if I shoot at the sky, right?' and shot at the sky!
- Melinda: So a huuuge meteor fell from the sky right in the middle of the day. It was truly a spectacle.
- Everyone laughs again. Though she knew they meant no harm, it was still upsetting. She 'was' one of a kind?
- Aisha: (Was? Don't make that a past tense! I'm still one of a kind! An amazing genius magician!)
- This was hurting her pride, but it was to be expected the moment she met her relatives. Aisha tried to hid her disgruntled feelings and was about to explain her situation to receive advice, when...
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Marty: What? So the era of the great Aisha is no more?
- Ack! What is he talking about?! Aisha could no longer hide her frustration and frowned.
