Become a top mage at all costs

Eileen Caldwell had always been the epitome of a laid-back individual. From her early years to her teens, her passion for leisure rivaled that of any professional napper. School was merely a necessary inconvenience, and she found herself comfortably situated at the bottom of her class hierarchy, much to the chagrin of her teachers and the bemusement of her peers. However, all of this changed on her 18th birthday signaling her transition into adulthood, a mysterious system was activated, one that would upend her world of sloth and slumber. Gone were the days of lounging around without consequence; instead, Eileen found herself thrust into a destiny she could scarcely have imagined. This newly activated system, with its stern mandate against idleness, revealed to Eileen her true potential: she was destined to become one of the most formidable mages the world had ever seen. No longer could she while away the hours in blissful ignorance; instead, she was called upon to harness her latent magical abilities and rise to the challenge that lay before her.

You wanted to play tough

It was lunchtime, and I was still riding the high of Zaya's punch from earlier. The memory replayed itself in my head over and over, like a satisfying scene from one of those cheap soap operas, but way better because it was real.

The look on that golden-haired idiot's face had been priceless, like someone had just told him his favorite shirt had been ruined. I couldn't help but smirk as I stabbed a piece of my salad.

Lise, Zaya, and I were sitting together at one of the long tables in the dining hall. We weren't talking much, but it wasn't tense, just...quiet.

After the nonsense earlier, maybe we all needed some time to decompress. I was fine with that no need to fill the silence when it wasn't awkward.

I glanced at Zaya across the table. She was wolfing down her food like usual, probably plotting her next move or thinking about how to avoid any consequences from her earlier little outburst.
