Ah yes, this is for you.

...But this is...?
A mage's battle robes...

Yes, it was tailored
just for you.

But, why? Why me?

Well, we thought you were
just a kid before, but we can
see you really know your stuff.

Well, not really, but...

Yes, you're the pride
and joy of Aspio.

R..really...?

What is this? It's not like
you to get all emotional.

...

Well, there you go.
Good luck.

Wow...

Rita, hurry and try it on!

Huh, umm...

Oh my gosh! It's so cute!
It looks great on you!

Really? You think so...?

Those robes are the sign
of a true researcher.

More than that, they're a sign
of an accomplished researcher.

That's perfect for you, Rita!

I still have a long way to go
with my research. There's
still so much to learn.

That's the spirit, right?

You can study and study, and there'll always be
something left to learn in the world of magic...

There are so many mysteries.
Like an onion, peeling off one
layer just reveals another...

So, you're going to
keep those clothes?

Yeah, with pleasure.

It makes me stand
tall and proud when
I'm wearing them.

I don't know what it is...He he he...
It makes me feel like I can churn
out idea after idea with this...

G-good luck, Rita...

...I think I've begun to
understand why everyone
calls Rita a weirdo...
