Morning arrived in the lively living room of the Black Bulls' base, with its mismatched furniture and vibrant atmosphere. The room was filled with the voices of the squad members.

Vanessa, laying on the couch spoke up, her voice tinged with a hint of exasperation.

"Hey, Luck, cut it out with the lightning bolts. You're going to damage the base," she warned, her eyes focused on the mischievous lightning magic user who was currently hanging from the ceiling chandelier. Bolts spewing left and right.

Grey, the shy and timid transformation magic user, let out a startled cry, her eyes widening at the sudden display of lightning.

"Ahh!" Grey exclaimed, instinctively using his magic to turn himself into a small rock to avoid any potential harm.

Luck, the energetic and unpredictable lightning magic user, seemed restless and bored, his eyes flickering with a mischievous glint.

"But I'm bored!" Luck exclaimed, his voice filled with pent-up energy. "Captain Yami won't be back for ages. I need something to do."

Vanessa, knowing Luck's impulsive nature all too well, offered a suggestion to channel his energy into something productive.

"Well, find something else to do. Maybe you could help Charmy with breakfast?" Vanessa proposed, her eyes scanning the room for their food-loving teammate.

Luck's enthusiasm waned at the thought of cooking, his brows furrowing in dissatisfaction.

"Ugh, no way. Cooking is boring. I want to do something exciting," Luck grumbled, his desire for a thrilling activity evident in his voice.

Grey, ever the timid and soft-spoken member, hesitantly chimed in, his voice barely above a whisper.

"H-how about... uh... training?" Grey suggested, his eyes darting nervously around the room.

Luck's interest piqued at the mention of training, his eyes lighting up with anticipation.

"Hmm, that's not a bad idea," Luck conceded, a hint of excitement creeping into his voice. "Maybe I'll go practice my aim."

Vanessa, always mindful of the potential chaos that could arise from Luck's lightning bolts, offered a word of caution.

"Just be careful not to hit anyone or anything important," Vanessa advised, her voice carrying a mix of concern and playful admonishment.

With a nod of acknowledgment, Luck brimmed with renewed energy as he prepared to embark on his training session.

Meanwhile, the rest are gathered around the dinner table, enjoying a breakfast that surpassed the usual expectations.

Finral, savoring the delicious meal prepared by Charmy, couldn't help but express his appreciation.

"This is great, Charmy. You really outdid yourself this time," Finral complimented, a satisfied smile gracing his face.

Magna, his stomach full and content, chimed in with a heartfelt thanks.

"Yeah, I'm stuffed. Thanks, Charmy," Magna added, his voice laced with gratitude.

Charmy beamed with delight at the praise, her eyes sparkling with joy.

"You're welcome! Now eat more drumsticks, there's plenty!" she encouraged, her enthusiasm for food evident in her words.

"This isn't a normal breakfast at all," Noelle remarked.

Just as the conversation unfolded, Gordon appeared at the table, his arms laden with an imposing stack of books.
