THE BASICS โ†ณ About Magic โฐ Artificial Magic โฑ General term for magic. This technique of energy transfer was coined by magic-expert Prof. Odyne. Through respective training it is possible to learn magic techniques. Artificial magic however usually does not exceed the impact of a conventional weapon.
โ†ณ About G.F. (Guardian Forces) Autonomous energy body. Through combination with magic, huge amounts of energy are released. Retrograde amnesia has been listed as a side effect. There is, however, no proof of this yet.
โ†ณ About Sorceresses and Magic (translation note: The word used is "Witch" instead of Sorceress. While this translation matches the initial ideas of the Wizard of Oz elements in the game better, the term Sorceress will be used as exchanging the term has no wider impact.) Sorceresses possess supernatural powers, called Magic. Hyne is said to be the ancestor of all Sorceresses.

SCHOOL FESTIVAL COMMITTEE
Thank you very much for visiting. But sadly, this page will not be updated anymore. That is becuase I, the only member of the school festival, will be leaving Garden. I didn't want to become SEED. I didn't want to graduate either. I did everything to organize a great school festival. Still, I didn't make it. Nobody wanted to help me. Well, I thought that I could do the whole thing all by myself somehow. After such an experience, I will start a new life. I hope someone will take over organizing the festival soon. Ciao, Balamb-Garden School Festival Committee ยท Wembly Danner

Squall and Quistis enter the classroom, all students take their seats.
Quistis: "Good morning. First, today's schedule." Quistis: "As you likely already heard.........." Quistis: "...the SEED test will take place today. Non-participants have to work independently today. The participants have time until this afternoon. You have to be prepared adequately. At 4 p.m. in the main hall. The groups will be announced there. Understood?" Quistis: "Ah yes. Cifer..." Quistis: "You mustn't injure anyone while training. Please be careful."
Seifer looks over to Squall, then slams his hand on the desk.
Quistis: "I'll see you later." Quistis: "And Squall. Please come here. I need to ask you something."
Squall walks up to her.
Quistis: "You still need to go into the fire cavern. Otherwise you can't participate in the field test."
Squall: (I wanted to early this morning... just, Cifer came between...)
Quistis: "Is there a valid reason?"
Squall: ".....no."
Quistis: "Then we go there together now. If you still feel insecure you can prepare at the school computer. I will wait at the main gate. Please get there when you're ready. Your school computer is at your desk."

Selphie: "De-laaaaaaa~yyyyyyyed!"
She runs into Squall, falls to the ground.
Selphie: "Whooops!"
Squall: "............."
Selphie: "Ouchie~." Selphie: "Sorrry~. I was in a hurry." Selphie: "Hey! Do you belong to the class over there? Say~, is the first lesson already over?"
Squall nods
Selphie: "Weeehh, damn! This Garden is much bigger than the one I was at last." Selphie: "Hey, say, saaaay! I just came here from another Garden. Could you give me a quick tour?"
Squall: "Sure."
Selphie: "Coool! Let's go, let's go!"
Squall: "We best go downstairs into the main hall and look at the guidepost."

Dr. Kadowaki: "Are you ok?" > (Sure.) > (My forehead...) Squall: "My forehead....."
Dr. Kadowaki: "That is no wonder. Do you feel better? Everything seems to be ok. Tell me your name." Dr. Kadowaki: "You (pl.) should be more caucious when training. It could backfire."
Squall: "Tell that Cifer."
Dr. Kadowaki: "That boy....... he listens to nobody. Don't get involved with him."
Squall: "I can't just run away."
Dr. Kadowaki: "Feeling cool, are we? But don't overexert yourself." Dr Kadowaki: "Let me think. Your instructor is..." Dr. Kadowaki: "...... Quistis Trepe. I will inform her."
Squall lays back down, Ellione appears.
Ellione: "Squall... finally we see each other again."
Ellione leaves, Quistis arrives.
Quistis: "Hey! I knew it would be one of you two. Come on, let's go. The practical test is today.
Both leave the infirmary and walk down the outside hallway.
Quistis: "Say Squall, is there something bothering you?" Squall: ".....not really." Quistis: ".....not really."
Quistis: "Ahahahaha!"
Squall: "What's so funny?"
Quistis: "Funny? No, no. I'm just happy. I now know what my favorite student is thinking. That's why."
Squall: "My thoughts aren't that primitive, though."
Quistis: "Then talk. Tell me more about you."
Squall: "That's none of..." Quistis: "...of your business!"
She laughs, they continue walking, the scene pans over the courtyard and up the Garden building.
