In the Land of Dawn, after the Rift War ended, a new crisis emerged. The Void Monsters that survived were still prowling around, searching for magic power to sustain themselves. The Magic Academy was not spared, and the magicians were doing their best to capture and contain these dangerous creatures.
Lylia, a talented student at the academy, was known for her mischievous nature and her affinity for Black Magic, which made her an outcast among her peers. When she captured a particularly special Void Monster, which she named Gloom, she saw it as an opportunity to prove herself and gain the recognition she craved. However, her attempts to introduce Gloom to the others were met with skepticism and even hostility.
Things took a turn for the worse when Gloom attacked some of the magicians who were taunting Lylia. The situation quickly spiraled out of control, and more Void Monsters were summoned to aid Gloom. In the chaos that ensued, many magicians were injured or lost their magic.
Despite her previous reputation as a troublemaker, Lylia stepped up to save her mentor, Eudora, from the rampaging monsters. She used her Black Magic to seal the creatures inside Gloom, sacrificing her own reputation to save the academy.
Eudora saw the bravery and skill in Lylia's actions and realized that good and evil are determined not by the type of magic one uses but by the intentions behind it. Lylia finally gained the recognition and respect she deserved, and the academy learned an important lesson about the power of Black Magic in the right hands.
