2 Chapter 2
"Good morning students" Stefan said. Which is the old man earlier.
When he repeated his explanation, I understood my destiny. I was awakened to continue my life and make a new start here at Acability. Now, all the students are assigned to attend this ceremony which is held inside a huge hall. Since I am a new student, everyone are looking at me. Some are curious and questionend, while some are disgusted for some reason.
"We have a new student today. I would like to introduce you all to Alyxia White" he said and gave me sign to climb up the stage despite of the crowd surrounding me.
"What? There's a new student?" one of the students whispered.
"Is she the new student? That's why she looks so unfamiliar," the other said until the hall was filled with everyone's whispers and murmurs.
"Come here, Alyxia," said Stefan and I had no choice but to awkwardly walk infront of all these people.
"As she took her exams, I am proud to say that she passed. And all of you won't believe that she is the very first female mage here at Acability," that announcement silenced the crowd. Everyone are shocked. Is being a mage really a big deal?
"No. Way"
"Are you kidding me"
"I've took that test for a thousand times, but I always fail to be a mage"
For a split second, the hall was filled once again with murmurs.
"Silence!" Stefan yelled and again everyone shut up.
"Prove it! Show us your ability!" one yelled and everyone started chanting the word "prove it"
Holy flip. I forgot all about this ability thing. I forgot that I don't have one. So why did I passed as a mage?
"You're nothing but a muggle!"
"Yeah right. The result must be mistaken. A muggle cannot be a mage. I can't believe that she out ranked us"
"She is not ready, dear students. For now, she is confused and doesn't know her true potential. I believe that one day, she'll prove to you all that she isn't a muggle, but a powerful and responsible mage. That's all for today, students. You may now be dismissed" he said and I can't believe that he told them that. What is his problem?
"We came here for nothing"
"Yeah right "
"What did you said infornt of them?! Are you nuts? Now everyone's gonna hate me. Now tell me, how can I get this ability? So that I can prove to them that I am worthy to be a mage" I said full of frustration.
"You don't simply get an ability. Because it's been inside you the whole time. It just take time to awaken your powers. Be patient, child" Stefan said. Still, I'm too impatient for that.
"Whatever. How can I ever face your students?"
"Just be yourself, child. I know that they'll love you just the way you are" he said gently.
"Stop that typical love story cliches. They'll hate me" I said. I can't control my emotions.
"I know you can, child" instead of giving courage and hope. I just find his words annoying. With full of disrespect, I left him without a word.
As I went to the office to get my room's keys, people are looking at me weirdly as always.
"Here's your key, miss White. Your room is room 159 in the witches' department, building 5. Since you are the only female mage, we decided to put you with the witches. We cannot put you in the same room with boys surrounding you, " the lady chuckled.
"Your roomates are miss Clair, rank 15 in the witches department and miss Reign, rank 10 in the witches department," she said and lend me the keys.

"Quick! The female mage is arriving. Clean the room, Reign!" I could hear someone's panicked voice inside the room. Their actions made me chuckle. So someone here are valuing me.
"Hello," I greeted shyly.
"Welcome, great female mage," she said with a matching courtesy. The girl who I assume was named Clair.
"Please don't call me that. My name is Alyxia. Nice to meet you all," I said awkwardly as I lend my hand.
"My name is Clair, Clair Blaze. And this is Reign, Reign Gale," she smiled and accepted my hand. Same with Reign.
"I hope that we'll get along well," I said while fixing my stuff
"Don't worry, we believe that you're a worthy mage. If someone bullies you, we got your back and punch their ass," Clair said while clenching her fist.
"Easy there, girl" I said with a hint of giggle. Clair and I are laughing while Reign didn't even said a word since I get here.
"Is there something wrong, Reign?" Clair asked.
"Nope," she said and walked out the room.
"Did I offended her?" I asked Clair.
"Don't worry 'bout her. I know she's fine. Maybe it's her time of the month," she said and giggled.
"I hope so"
"Hey! Do you want me to walk you around the campus. I promise you, it would be fun!" she said excitedly.
"Really? But this school is too big. It would take us a whole day just to wonder around the campus. Going here took me a lot of effort," I said.
"Don't you remember? Every student here possess magic powers. We can use my broom stick so we can fly around," she said and grabbed her broom.
"Ohh. I don't really possess magic powers. The old m-- I mean Stefan said that I will soon find out my ability," I said with a sad face.
"Don't worry, I believe that you're not a muggle. I'll support you. I bet you have awesome ability or maybe abilities. That would be great! Oh I just remembered that you are the only female mage. You must have more than one ability!" she said with a huge smile on her face.
"What's great with multiple abilities?" I asked.
"Don't you get it? When you have multiple abilities you are powerful and you'll gain alot of respect" she said.
"Who are those that possesses multiple abilities?" I asked again.
"Samantha Klaima, who ranked first at the witches department. Sec Daymon, ranked second at the Mages department and the president of the student council. And Third, no one really knows his second name, but he ranked first in the mages department and the vice-president of the students council," she said with amusement. She really adored and respect them.
"Then what's your ability, Clair?"
"Well mine is blaze. That's what my second name said hahaha," she laughed.
"What do you mean by the second name?" I asked again. My non stop questions.
"When you enter here at Acability, you will loose your surname but replaced by a second name given by the school. And the given name is based on your ability. I possesses fire powers, that's why my second name is blaze. Reign specialize gale and that's her second name," she explained.
"Ohh now I get it"
"But why is your name, White? What does it mean?" she asked. I wonder too.
"Well, Stefan didn't really explained this second name thingy to me. But he did said that White is a perfect second name and I was confused of what he said back then. There are a lot of things I don't know about Acability, huh?" I said while scratching my head.
"You never heard about Acability when you were lil? I always dream of studying here. And here I am, ranked 15 in the witches department," she said.
"No, I just had an accident and fall from a cliff. Then I met Stefan and he invited me here. Now I'm here in front of you, named as the first female mage," I rolled my eyes.
"Really? Maybe that's why they're accusing you for a mage," she said and that hit me.
"Oh I'm sorry. Did I hurted you? I didn't mean to say that," she said.
"No. Maybe I am a muggle" I said sadly.
"No! You are the great female mage! You are Alyxia White! You are my best friend!" she said.
"Thanks Clair"
"Any time. So are we going or not?"
Oh right! We're supposed to explore the campus.
"Let's g--- WTH it's already night time?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Time here is a lot faster than the outside world. Acability is like a new world, Alyxia. Better be get used to it. Well I don't want to break the rules. There's a curfew. Students are not allowed to go out their rooms when it's passed 6' o clock" she chuckled.
"So can we go out tomorrow?" I said with my puppy eyes.
"Well my class starts at 1:00 in the afternoon. How about yours?"
"Mine too" I said with joy.
"So it's decided. But how about Reign?"
"Let's invite her too. Wait, speaking of Reign. Where is she?" I asked.
"Aye, that stubborn girl. She must have sneaked again. She will be back later" she said worriedly.
"Clair! Can you show me your ability?" I said out of the blue.
"Well it's against the rules to use your ability inside your room and it's passed 6. But since your a transferee. It ain't hurt to show you some magic" she giggled as she reached for her wand.
"Amberus Quidus" she said gently as she swished and flicked her wand and golden orange flames came out from it.
"Woah... Ah! Will it burn me?!" I said in panic.
"Shush. Be quiet or else someone will here us"
"It won't hurt you. This is for entertainment flames or show flames. It's just used to amaze people. You can even touch it. See" she said as she touched the flames surrounding us.
"Cool. I want to be a witch" I said.
"Why? Being a mage is the best. If I just passed that exam. My dreams will come true" she said with glitters on her eyes.
"Wait, is that exam really a big deal?"
"Oh yes! With it, we can assure our potential and power. It is said that if you're a mage and tried to be a witch, you will die, for your body can't take the power vice versa" she explained.
"Why do everyone love to be a mage? Are mage really that powerful?" I asked again.
"Yes! As a witch, you rely on your wand and you need to memorize the spell. Same with the fairies. They do need to memorize spells, but they don't need wands. They use their hands to cast the spell. They also fly using their wings. But we witches need a broom, same with the wizards. But we all have limits in our abilities. We can only focus on the ability we specialize. Mine is flames. I can't learn other abilities like teleportation or rain neither wind. We can only focus on one ability, except if you are duability, tripobility or even multibility. Where you can perform sorts of abilities," Clair ended her long explanation.
"I'm starting to understand," I saud while nodding.
"What time is it? " I suddenly asked.
"7:58" Clair answered back.
"This is a new world to me. I that I'll get used to it," I said while changing into my pajamas.
"I'm sure you will," Clair said with a smile.
*Tik Tok
"It's already 8. Time to sleep," Clair said and everything was black.
