Chapter 1: Oglourine Academy

"Tik tok tik tok tik tok … WAKE UP". The warning sound from the wooden clock really did break the peaceful moment. 

If this little girl refuses to get up, then she'll be doomed in the flaming hell of her mother. Nothing is more fearful than a mother's anger. 

Her eyes slowly open, the shining light from the window and the rackety clock are killing her. 

"FIREBOLT!!" - A long shot of flame shot out of her fingers and burned the poor wooden clock to ashes. 

"What an annoying thing to exist". She thought deeply in her mind.

This is Maria. Maria Lenormand, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lenormand. She's well-known for her unique ability. Her mother's ability is fire manipulation and Her father's ability is ice manipulation. And Maria has both of these abilities in her hands. 

Plus, coming from the Lenormand family is already relevant enough. Lenormand family is famous for their gifted psychic ability. However, not everyone matches the requirement to awaken the hidden power that lies within their blood. 

Maria might be a talented girl, but not enough to receive such blessings like that.

After having an omelet as breakfast, Maria called maids to pick out the best outfit. Today is an important day, at least it is to Maria. Her father is a gallant successful businessman, he bought her many beautiful dresses. If these material things make Maria happy, he's willing to do it without hesitation. While her mom is quite strict and always expecting Maria to achieve the highest place, or she'll have to bear the fury. 

"It's almost time to leave Maria". A gentle voice appears. "I bet you don't want to be late on the first day of joining the team, right?".

That was her dad. He's always like that, loving, caring, and mild. Such an ideal dad.

"Yes father, I just need one more minute~" - Maria replied.

She puts rose quartz earring on the left ear and the carnelian earring on the right ear.

"Perfect! No, I mean fantastic!". The young maid can't help herself, she keeps looking at Maria with a happy face.

"I am as always, Lily." - Maria slowly spoke. Words come out of her with relevance and admiring habitude. 

The young maid's name is Lily. 

Lily has served Maria since she was a little kid, Maria is only older than her by 1 or 2 years. When she was 10, Maria bought her from the black market, the slave keeper. Subsequently, it is the reason why Lily devotes all her life just to serve and please Maria. Maria Lenormand, the lady that saved her from darkness.

"Did you say one more MINUTE and now you're about to be LATE". Yes, you're not wrong. It was from Maria's mother. 

"Chill out, i'm coming" - Maria rapidly ran out of her room, to the stair of million steps, to the living room, and lastly, out of the mansion.

Today she wears a lovely garnet casual dress. Only she sees it as casual, not everyone else. She wears clear crystalline glasses. And her backpack is the one from the newest collection of Viaan (one of the best fashion brands of the time).

"It's gonna be a wonderful day". Maria talked pridefully to herself while walking to the fancy looking car. "For people to bow on their knees".

Maria got into the car, then her personal driver drove her away, to Oglourine Academy.
