Chapter 3: I Can't do This, can I?

Ash
Ash and Mary follow Reg into the academy and after a brief description of the campus, are questioned by Callum. After Mary ends up telling him when she is from, Reg quickly dismisses him and leads them to Hamilton's office. Mary tells them about the events of the prologue and she is then sent away with Ashley.

Hamilton then questions Reg about Ash's performance. He states that he did "alright", but Hamilton appears more impressed, promising Reg a new room and Ash a referral to the Sentinel Prime.

Mary
Ashley leads Mary into a room, in which Ashley has prepared a video showing a brief overview of what Mary missed while she was asleep. It moves her to tears.

Later, Mary meets with Ashley once more outside the residential building. Ashley leads her to the bowl. She demonstrates how it works by placing her hand in it, with dirt being produced from her hands. Mary then does the same and water escapes from her fingers, revealing that she is a water mage.
