Ascension

Within the calm confines of Aiden's sanctuary, Akira and Mai awaited with anticipation as their brilliant friend prepared to unveil the results of Mai's newfound potential.

"Aiden," Mai began, her voice steady despite the flutter of excitement in her chest. "Could you assess my current magic class?"

Aiden's gaze settled on Mai, his eyes full of anticipation. With a graceful wave of his hand, he initiated a mana analysis, a cascade of ethereal energy filling the room as his mana intermingled with Mai's. After a moment that felt like an eternity, Aiden's lips curled into a smile.

"Mai, you have achieved the illustrious rank of Supernova," Aiden revealed, his tone resonating with genuine admiration. "One of the most revered and potent tiers among magic users."

Mai's eyes widened in astonishment, a mixture of pride and gratitude swelling within her.

As the days unfolded, Aiden embarked on a dedicated mission to further nurture their abilities. Mai and Akira easily absorbed his teachings, honing their magical skills and synchronization prowess. Mai refined her control over elemental magic, while Akira delved deep into the harmony of magic and technology.

Aiden's support prompted Mai and Akira to take the momentous step of submitting applications to Eden, the prestigious academy known for creating generations of Nova Corps. The confirmation of their preliminary assessment success ignited a spark of excitement, underscoring their boundless potential.

Amidst the backdrop of their intensified training, the bonds of friendship deepened. Aiden's words resonated with unwavering belief, "You are destined for Eden, where your talents will flourish. I will personally advocate for your admission."

Akira's physical prowess matched his magical might. Meanwhile, Mai delved into advanced magical theories, mastering the art of "False Machine Sync," an ability that allowed her to mimic Machine Synchronization through the manipulation of magic.

On the day of the ultimate Eden assessment, nerves stirred with excitement as Mai and Akira faced their trials. From magical duels to synchronization challenges, they navigated the trials with the prowess borne from relentless preparation. With their skills and Aiden's training they triumphed over every test.
