The first thing Liam did was head to the nearest washroom. Once inside, he locked the door and activated his spell.
A shimmer of blue magic surrounded him, and within seconds, Liam Sanders was gone. In his place stood Nico Vale—his carefully crafted false identity.
His features subtly changed—his eyes took on a slightly different hue, his hair darkened, and his facial structure sharpened.
It wasn't a drastic transformation, but it was enough to make him look like a different person. Anyone who knew him closely won't mistake him as the same person, but he still looked similar to pass off and not feel different.
Liam—or rather, Nico—stared at his reflection in the mirror, adjusting his collar.
'I need to embrace this fully. If Elder Erin and Bianca already know about my identity, I might as well act like it's who I really am.'
With a deep breath, he stepped out of the washroom and made his way to his assigned classroom.
