Academic Goals

Mako's POV

I wake up to the sound of... my alarm? WHAT TIME IS IT?" I shout as my new roommate rushes in the see what the problem is.

"It's only 9:50 mate, everythin-" He starts as I cut him off "9:50!?" I rush to the bathroom fast as I can somehow just now noticing the smell of pancakes and bacon. I stop in my tracks and turn to Ash.

"Did you bring us breakfast?" I ask "Yeah! I noticed that you stayed up pretty late trying to figure out how to cast a spell so I let you sleep in and got food so you wouldn't have to hurry out the door." as he was saying that I was looking at him he was wearing blue jeans and a black and white checkerboard pattern shirt with a black denim jacket over it. "Well, what is your schedule for the day?" I ask him "I have magic with Hecate for my first class then a thirty minute study block" he replies. "Really? I have her class too! you'll love her, I'll walk you to class." I say before turning to get ready for the day.

Time Skip to Class

"Alrighty class today I want to see want each of you can do, as you are all starting to turn 16 your powers and abilities will become easier for you to access, I know some of you already have access and it is my job to help guide you when using them. To start today I want to teach you all about the three different ability types, Defender, Protector and Attacker. Can anyone list a Defender?"

"An Archangel!" Said Aaron one of the Elites of the school

"Correct! a defender is one that has powers that oppose another element such as light and dark. Can anyone name a Protector?"

"Medusa!" I proclaim not letting anyone steal this moment. "Yes! thank you Mako. A protector is a power that is used to protect yourself or others. Can you tell us an attacker Mako?"

"You." I say "That is correct, my power aligns in attacker, which is a power used as offensive instead of defensive. But it is important to remember there are powers that fall in more that one alignment and each power can be used as any alignment. I will be assigning a project for this to help you come into your powers, you will be required to have a partner you may choose one or I can assign one to you."

Ash turned to me. "Hey since you are the only person in this class I know, would you mind if I worked with you?" I was taken back, nobody else would have asked me since I've never been able to use an ability. "Um are you sure? I've never used an ability before so you might not get a good grade." I told him.

"Yes I'm sure, I might even be able to help you learn to use your powers how cool would that be!" He looked excited with his bright smile practically illuminating the room.

"Then lets get to work." I say

We were soon let out for our thirty minute study block and me and Ash went to the courtyard to practice.

"Okay so my dad always said that he pulled his power from his center, he always said that a center is something that defines you or a strong connection to something." he began explaining. "So by that logic if we focus on something that we care about maybe we can cast something." He closed his eyes and just sat on the ground thinking, I noticed a tear fall to the ground and it froze a small patch of grass. "Ash? What's wrong?" he starting crying every tear that fell froze a new patch of grass frost began to expand across the courtyard, when I saw Morgan running over as she jumped at him and held him in a hug "Everything is going to be okay, we are safe now." she whispered to him.
