### I, a Magician

Hibiki was surprised that she is going to be something magical but accepts the offer. Ms. Amamiya gave her a Melody Module and tells her how to transform into a Magician by forming a g-clef on the center of the Module while saying her Magician Code. Hibiki says "Mi Mi Hibiki" and starts to transform. She was surprised to find out that after a few seconds, she is wearing a completly different uniform.

Ms. Amamiya told her that she lacks concentration so Hibiki tries again and her second try is successful. Hibiki becomes more eager to learn about her new rare ability.

### Magician Responsibilities

Ms. Amamiya discussed to her that a Magician has a large list of responsibilities and one of them is to defeat the Dark Planet, the planet that will soon be taking away all sound and music.

Another responsibility is that they will be passing through eight test and the four quarterly exams to earn their certificate of promotion to the next level.
