Chapter 10 : Wizard's Destiny : Choosing Between the Heart of Courage and the Allure of power

As she opened the book, shapes emerged from its pages, seemingly materializing from beyond its confines. " First . Leona leonheart ( A lion illuminated in vibrant red hues ) she believed that only courage and nobility could make a magician great . Naturally the house of leonheart includes people who honors her teachings.

Second . Katrina adderin . ( A viper radiates a luminous green glow). she thought only pureblood sorcerers are worthy . Her cunning and dedication have no match . Those are the basis of the principes of the adderin house .

Third one . Frida crowhive . ( An eagle shines with a vivid blue luminescence) she chose to acquire all knowledge of the nature of magic ... forsaking her personal ambitions . The crowhive house is for people who are ready to continue their journey .

And the fourth and the last one . Jaina martenden . ( A rabbit emanates a radiant yellow glow) many thought she was talentless. But become great by relying on hard work and patience. Only with these qualities you can get into the martenden house. " 

This great . But I hope I'm not the first to choose. I don't want to end up on some loser house Alone, far away from all the hot chic's I've meet today. 

" Alright, everything is ready for the ceremony. So the person I'll name should come to the table . Put his or her hand over the right page . And tell us where the book sorted him or her . "

Perplexed about the selection process, I inquired to gain clarity on how we would be chosen. " how will we know? "

Victoria replied" trust me, you'll know , so the first person is ....hmmm, let's see... Naomi banks "

Naomi exclaimed, "Ha_ha, here I am." 

I turned to see Lily appearing visibly annoyed." drag , I wanted to be the first "

These two... Are they even nervous? . 

Naomi stood in front of the book. " alright book , you know what to do , adderin or nothing "

She placed her hand on the book, and a gate-like structure materialized. Naomi then uttered, " woah..... I feel ...o_o_h....oof..ah " .

Naomi's eyes transformed into a vivid green, and she let out a piercing scream. " adderin " that's weird but cool 

" Congratulations, those who were sorted _ please exit to the inner garden. Your prefects will met you there . Next up . Haley ranger .

Haley holded my hand " James ... I'm nervous " 

" Do you know where you wanna end up ? "

She replied " i gave it a thought ... I'd either be leonheart or crowhive "

" Nice choice. I guess, good luck."

" Thank you " I need to think of the house i want to join . Maybe the book feels such things that.

Haley placed her hand on the book " I'm ready , oh , it's so .... beautiful , what's happening to me oh _ah "the gate reappeared. Then, her eyes glowed red as she screamed." leonheart . I'm a leonheart, yeah "

" Congratulations , alright , next is Lili aoki " 

Lili exclaimed " Yay , it's my turn , wish me luck James " 

She placed her hand on the book and start mumbling " Leonheart please " the same gate appeared " how intriguing , please let it be leonheart . Oh my ...ah..." Lily eyes glow in red " leonheart "

" Congratulations, and the next one is ...James pogger "

Yes , where do I wanna get , every house got some juice . I know nothing about girls in martenden or crowhive... While both leonheart and adderin got some juice . Anyway it's up to the book to decide .

Victoria looked at me and asked " are you ready for the ceremony ?"

I remained a little confused" How does choosing a house affect us ? " 

She answered" it is great honor and an even greater responsibility to represent your house. The houses compete each year to see who is the best ..and they also receive incredible awards . 

The house with the most points at the end of the year wins . All your academic success will earn points...but disciplinary offenses will , however, take them away "

" Understood, I'm ready "

" Put your hand over the right page "

" Is that all? "

She answered" that's all " 

I placed my hand, and with a sigh of relief, the gate reappeared. . I was sure there would be some kind of trick ... It feels so strange this energy that floats around the book it feels as if my hand is sinking into it . 

"Wait.... what's happening ."

Woah... where am I? Did the book just swallow me inside? What is this place?

 I glanced around, bewildered. What the hell is that? There are four women standing in front of me.

One of them speaked " Hello , name "

" What ? "

She replied" Say your name "

" James. James pogger. And who are you ? "

" Come closer , James " 

I approached them, only to realize, Oh... They don't seem to be fond of humans. " hey , I was just ...."

The One in yellow said " silence. Let me take a look .pffff.... Nothing interesting "

The one in blue also said " oh what a shame... At first I sensed something within you. But you're too boring . Sorry kiddo "

I replied" Boring ? Wait a minute lady . "

The one in red then placed her hand on my face and uttered, " don't pay attention to them . They are too blind to notice . Since the first moment I saw you....I can feel...your potential "

Then the green one extended her hand as well. " yes , pureblood flows in you , you are , indeed , an interesting one ...."

My mind cannot comprehend what is happening. " What's going on...am I dreaming "

The red one said " shhhhh...stop with all these questions . Look at me . I see that you have an honorable soul . I can sense courage in your heart , you will become a leonheart student . My protege ....my .."

Then the green one interrupted" not so fast Leona . I won't let you steal him . Listen to me . Your blood is strong . And your character is not devoid of cunning and determination . You can be the greatest . I'm assigning you to the adderin house . "

 Then Leona said " can't you see Katrina? James is a brave leonheart soul . leonheart will guide him on a just path "

Katrina replied" The only path for him is adderin, he is a pureblood magician . We can fuel his potential. "

" I sense his loneliness and pain , adderin will only hurt him more . He needs a family . He will find one at leonheart "

" I won't let you bury his potential . You wanna fight for him ? "

" No need Katrina "

" What do you suggest "

I couldn't stayed slient so I spoke up" will somebody care to explain to me what's going on ? "

Leona replied " be patient, darling , there's one way to decide . Which one of us will be better for you . This way requires one test but. I think you won't regret it "

Katrina approached from behind and whispered " you've got to be thankful . You're the first student in a few decades that is so interesting to both of us "

Leona said " usually, one of us is more presistent , but this time , it seems to be a tie "

I asked in fear " so what does it mean for me ? I'm not going to be expelled because of that , won't I ? " 

Katrina start laughing" hahaha , only if you can't satisfy one of us ..." 

Leona stood before me and bowed. Wait what's going on , are they gonna....
