View MoreI firmly closed my eyes at the fast wind I’m encountering while keeping my soul in check. Cavroz is riding the horse too fast I can barely open my eyes.Wait. I can feel mana. A huge amount is being used around the place.I focused my senses. The closer we get to the area, the louder the people crying and struggling can be heard. I opened my eyes and I can almost sense where the commotion is as if it's right in front of me. Some houses are on fire and—“AH!” I shouted when the horse is suddenly trying to stop.No, Cavroz is stopping the horse. He must have realized he unconsciously brought me to a danger zone. “NO! KEEP. GOING!” I said firmly. I heard him groaned in response but he didn’t object. Because we have no time to spare.Wild spirits the man said. Now what the hell are those!?We arrived near the village and we came into a halt behind a small house. He jumped down before looking up at me
The next morning, I was awoken by a sequence of loud knocks on the door. So loud that it pissed me off!“Who is it?” I asked and leaned my tired face on the door.“LORCÉ!! IT’S US!!”I immediately opened the door. “Ferris!?”“AAAHHH!” She squealed and hugged me tight. Venice was behind her with her expressionless face. As always.But I couldn’t help but smile. “Oh my god! What are you doing here? I thought students weren’t allowed to come here?”Ferris broke the hug and clasped her hands. “Lady Sultana and Professor Zeke ordered us to visit town. They told us we can take you with us.”“Town? For what? Isn’t it too early?”Their faces fell then they both looked at me in disbelief. “Early? It’s already nine o’clock. Is that early for you?” Venice countered.Nine o’clock!? “W
Lorcé Callora’s POVAfter a moment of awkward silence, the man beside me spoke. “We should begin your training.”Sir Conrad said that Cavroz will replace him for today in supervising my training because he had to go home for a family emergency. He left after leaving those few words.I nodded then evaded his gaze. I should thank him, right? For that night. I remember everything that happened, the pain, the darkness, the cracks on my skin, the light, the lake, the desperation I showed when I saw his stunned expression, the way I held him tightly and how he carried me. I felt my cheeks suddenly burning.What am I thinking!? No! I should just pretend I don’t remember anything. I’m too embarrassed to say it!I cleared my throat and followed him. “What made you want to learn the whip?” He asked while inspecting the whip I’ve been using. He rolled them and with just a swift move, he released it
Third Person’s POV “It happened thirteen days ago, sir. The girl turned nineteen and that’s when her awakening happened. The academy tried hard to keep this confidential but they could no longer control it,” a middle aged man reported. The man in a white coat fixed his glasses. “Understood. Lorcé Callora you say? Callora. Callora. Hmmn. Interesting.” “A Callora who had no abilities and experienced a late awakening?” Another man approached. The man in a white coat nodded in amusement. “Yes, yes. A rare gem. We’ve got to have a hold on this matter. And as Examiners, the academy should allow it, don’t you think?” A dangerous smirk coming off from his lips. Lorcé Callora’s POV “It’s not working. Nothing’s happening. I give up!” I slumped on the chair and totally laid my back on the back rest. “Now, now. Stand up and try again, odd one. I have class this afternoon.” I am alone with the impatient Professor Kazar in an indoor trai
Lorcé Callora’s POV “My child. My child, wake up.” My eyelids moved as I hear a soft melancholy voice of a man calling out to me. “My child, wake up!” I opened my eyes but only the darkness greeted me. I stood up reluctantly and that’s when I noticed my skin. My skin! It’s glowing! I touched my face. It made me want to look in a mirror but everything around me is just pure darkness. Where am I? “Child, my child!” I looked around and saw no one. Someone is calling me but I can’t see them. Where’s mom? My father? And Lathré? “Who are you?? Please show yourself! I’m scared!” I blurted out in the midst of my nervousness. “Don’t fear, my child.” Suddenly, a beautiful man appeared floating in front of me and now he's holding my clasped hands. He looked so elegant. His dark green hair is so long that it reaches his ankle. His skin was glowing as well but in green light. Now he looks like a fairy in human form. “Who
I sighed in relief when I remembered that at least I never complained verbally towards Sir Conrad. Just on my mind. And I did my best in working on my strength and weapon training. But I do admit in retorting his scolding sometimes. I should be good tomorrow.“What’s with the determined look? Did you do something wrong towards Sir Conrad?” I shook my head violently and answered a firm, “No! I could never do such a thing!”“That’s good then.” Silence followed after that.But in that mere silence, I noticed a pair of eyes focused on our direction. I swallowed the lump on my throat at the sudden intimidation. Cavroz removed his gaze and I heard myself letting out a breath I didn’t know I was holding. How that hell did that guy noticed our presence!? He’s so far away!“Lorcé.” I flinched at the sudden mention of my name.“Y-yes?”“Do you really want
I breathed in and out as I pant. “Haaa! Ha!” My sweat is dripping like rain.“Keep running Miss Lorcé. Three more laps. Don’t stop.” I glared at Sir Conrad. He’s the assistant of Professor Mikano who handles combat training. They assigned him to me so that I could learn how to protect myself and prepare my body for the ability that has not yet manifested.Almost a month have passed. We’re behind the school open ground near the forest. This place has been my exclusive training place. It’s a good spot since no one comes here. I haven’t even seen the Xenostras since. And I’ve been sleeping in a quarter near this training ground.“Stop daydreaming Miss Lorcé. Your record time did not improve since last week. You have to try harder.”“I’m trying!” I groaned as I ran passed him. Sir Conrad was a former soldier. He retired after getting married and had c
The next morning, I was awoken by Ferris again. But this time… “Lorcé, wake up! Lady Sultana has summoned you!” Before she could touch my blanket, I sat on my bed like a corpse who rose from the dead. “Lady Sultana?” That beautiful woman is calling for me? “Woah! I didn’t know the words ‘Lady Sultana’ could wake you up easier than levitating your blankets but YES! So you better get ready now because she’s one strict of a woman when it comes to schedule!” After getting ready, Ferris immediately guided me towards Lady Sultana’s office and left me there. “Wait!” Ferris was already waving goodbye while running away from me before I could stop her. She must be late too. I stared at the large door in front of me and blinked twice. I’m here again. The first time I was here, I experienced an identity crisis. I even rejected that beautiful woman who introduced herself as my relative. Was I disrespectful? Is that the reason why I got summoned? I
I sat on the ground as I let out a groan.“When can we go home…” I complained in almost a whisper. The surrounding is already dark and Geoffrey is still inside the dome. We’ve been watching the slices of red light coming from him since hours ago.I stood up when the ‘lightsabers’ finally ended. “YES!”But when I saw the exhausted panting prince, I felt bad for being impatient. His hands are placed on his knees while he's gasping for air.“Is he okay?” I asked worriedly at Ferris’s direction. She nodded once and said, “He’ll be okay. I think. That’s probably what Professor Zeke would talk about when we get evaluated later.”“About how long you keep up?”She raised her eyes towards me. “Yes. We don’t really last that long.”“Do you wish to move up to level five?” We heard Professor Zeke asked Geoffre
Lorcé Callora’s POV"Dear Applicant, The Admissions Committee has carefully considered your application and we regret to inform you that we will not be able to offer you admission…"My index finger tapped the right button of the mouse to exit the email. I didn’t need to read it all.That was my tenth rejection. I’m already physically and emotionally drained.I knew applying for college would be hard but I didn’t know it was 'this' difficult. I groaned as loud as I could.How am I gonna tell this to my mother?Like ‘Hi mom, I got rejected by every school I ever applied in.’I groaned in frustration again as I leaned on the back of my chair.Mom would kill me! How could this happen to me? Not only mom but people will think, ‘How did the academic girl did not get accepted by any colleges even the low-tuition ones...
