Kimkim met up with his friend Meimi and fellow villager Ken on a hillside, where they discussed their plans for the future - Meimi wanted to attend the military academy, Kimkim hoped to become the village blacksmith, and Ken also aimed for the military. While talking, Kimkim's magic necklace cut Meimi's hand, revealing its mysterious origins crafted by the master Xiu Ke for his ex-wife. Before Kimkim could share something with Meimi, they were interrupted by Ken's admission to the military academy. Kimkim then reflected on how at age 13, despite initially planning to enroll in the skills academy, he accidentally signed up for magic school instead due to a misunderstanding. Five years later after graduating, Kimkim set off to visit his parents but faced their disapproval of his wizard career, as he recalled the moments that set him on the unexpected path of becoming a magician.
