Chapter 2: Welcome to the Academy

Blair's POV

During the drive from my home to this new school, there's a lot of weird stuff happening I'll tell you that. It all started when we magically drive over what seemed to look like a forest but was actually a portal? At the moment the driver was probably holding in his laughter when he saw my ridiculous face, like... What to expect? I'm just a normal person not knowing that there was supposed to be a portal rather than trees and plants.

Though the scary part didn't hold me embarrassed for too long, I soon saw a place that looked familiar to me with the feeling scary yet comforting. It's like I've been here before but, how? I mean I've never been here before in my whole life until today. But if so... what's up with this dejavu feeling?

"/Ehemm/ Madame, We have arrived at the academy."

"O-Ooo... Sorry I zoned out, and Uhmm... Thanks for driving me here."

The second I stepped outside the car, my eyes were feast upon a majestic yet old building which gives me the dark academy aesthetic vibes and seems like a witch academy from that book I was reading in my old school's library. I quickly take my belongings and started walking toward the school.

As I'm entering the main hallway which is huge btw, I can notice right away there are a bunch of other students that are either playing with their powers or just talking to each other in the hallway. I notice the information room sign and entered the room hoping I at least found my way around these castles.

"Uhmm... Excuse me. Hi, my name is Blair, Blair Taylor. And uhmm... I was wondering If you could help me out?"

"Ah Miss Taylor, we've been expecting you, darling. Please follow me to the headmaster"

They have been expecting me? Maybe the principal didn't lie after all. As I was gazing around the hall we came across a huge wooden door filled with patterned carving, the administration lady knock and open the door to reveal a spacious office surround by books on a shelf that was made by a living tree, vines around the windows and a wooden carved desk set in the room. Who sits there was the headmaster Madame Lavender, she saw me and smiles.

"Is this Miss Taylor that we've been waiting for Hayley?

"Yes Madame, this is Miss Taylor that Monsieur Dan told us about."

Madame Lavender leans back on her chair and makes an announcement on the mic "Abigail Lesley could you please pack your belongings and meet me in my office please? Thank you."

She turns off her microphone and said, "As you can see Miss Taylor this is not an ordinary academy or school that you see on your regular daily basis, this is a special school where you will learn to control, practice, and discover your hidden abilities."

"Monsieur Dan was also kind enough to tell me a hint upon your fire handling power, and I must say that is a very brilliant power indeed. With just a little bit of practice, I can guarantee that you will be a great wonderer one day."

*Knock-knock-knock*

"May the blessings of Dream Gazer be with you Madame, are you looking for me?"

There is this girl that's standing right in front of the door frame she looks very pretty with short straight black hair paired with a hue of space blue eyes and it seems like we have the same heights.

"Ah yes, Miss Taylor this is Abigail. She will be your roommate and your school guide as well, for a new girl of this semester despite she had been here for only 3 days she can already memorize all the places of this school. So you are in good hands dear."

"Thank you for the compliment Madame, but I believe that is unnecessary to acknowledge." She said bashfully.

"Well now, this is your orientation timetable and this your dorm key along with this school map so won't get lost in here. And also please do mind some of the wall could either fade, open, or moved when do press certain stone on the wall." And with that Madame Lavender sent us out to explore this so-called school castle.

The girl releases a relieved sigh after we're outside the office "Phew... I thought I did something back there that could kick me out, anyway hai, my name is Abigail as you already know but you can call me Abby for short. What's your name?"

"Oh... Uhm... My name is Blair Taylor but you can just call me Blair for short." I ended with a smile.

While we talked she showed me around the school, the school turned out way more complicated than I thought it might be. So far there are 3 cafeterias, 14 classrooms, an indoor pool, an outdoor pool, a gymnasium, 3 outdoors fields, a rooftop garden, 3 main halls, and 2 smaller halls yet I haven't covered the left and right-wing of the school that is used for the dormitories. We talked a lot more but further, I found out she is a manipulation type quirk holder, she could do both black hole manipulation and mind control at the same times.

Oh, I forget to mention that we were already best friends, although it usually takes me 2 years to get used to a new person. This is some kind of new record on making a friend for me, she just seems to get me in a way. We've been talking a lot until we completely lost track of time not knowing that it was already 1 pm at that point, so to end our mini-tour, Abby decided to lead me to our dorm. And boy I swear that when I say the dorm here is lit, I literally mean it.

So first thing first when I open the door I'm greeted by a deluxe living room with a tv and if I turned left, there is a kitchen with an island and kitchen cabinets filled with food such as cereals and snacks along with a 2 door fridge filled with fresh fruits and veggies. And if go past the living room, there are 3 more doors.

Abby's POV

I lead her to our dorm after we finished covering the main parts out of the whole school. Blair is a very fun girl, but there's something weird about her. You see, she told me that her quirk is a fire-type quirk, but when I saw her aura. She doesn't have a fire-type aura. Just for a quick note each type have their own colored aura according to their elements and since mine is connected to the black hole mine is more in the blue-ish purple tone, a fire type color must be both yellow and red but somehow her color tone is a pitch-black with white strands around it.

"Hey, Abby. What're these doors for?"

"What? This? This door is for our rooms. Since each dorm is split for three different element type person, the school decorated it accordingly to each of our types." She still looked confused after my explanation, so instead of explaining it in a more complex way. I decided to show her what I mean instead.

"Here, why don't you take a look at my dorm first. Then we'll move on to yours, then to our other roommate's room when she actually gets here."

"Can't we just barge inside just for a little peek?"

"I'm afraid we can't Blair, here take a closer look at the doors. These doors don't have a lock on them but there is this panel with our elemental type symbols in it, which means the only way for you to open your door is using your power. But, if you want an easier choice there must be a key card to help you opened the door, and don't worry there are three of those cards for each member of the dorms."

I show it to her, by slowly transferring a small amount of energy on my hands and creating a little energy ball with it, then gently move it to touch the panel of my door. The door automatically opens revealing my space-themed room with purple LED lights and decors.

"Wow, Abby... Your rooms look amazing, I-... I'm speechless."

"Oh come on it's not that big of a deal anyway, plus I kinda wish that I had some plants or something. Give a little pop of green ya know, and oh... this is one of my room key cards."

"I-... You're ok with me having the access to your room?"

"Uhm... Yea duh, you're my friend."

"Wow, I- uh... Thanks. Anyway you're really good at arranging stuff aren't you, can you help me unpack my stuff and arranging them? It's still 2 pm anyway."

"I mean sure I could help, I'm free after all, and if you need some extra decor for your room we can always go to the shopping district near this school. They sell many different decor types there too, I'm sure you'd like them."

"Hey... You didn't mention the shopping district to me before, how dare you forgot the best part." She said while pouting, I started laughing and she started laughing at herself too.

"Ok, cut the laughing, and let's start the reveal and unpacking, Chop chop," I said clapping my hands together.

Blair stood right in front of her door and start observing the panel, there she pointed that there is in fact a weird symbol on it. Two of the other door panels only have one symbol on them, and yet Blairs had two symbols on them which are fire and... Something else. I don't quite know what it is but it's a symbol of a star with a halo around it, but she decided to ignore that and tried using her fire and it still works.

Headmaster Lavender's POV

"Hayley, are you sure this plan of Monsieur Dan will work?"

"I have calculated the possibilities of this plan and it summons up to 85.9% of a good plan that-."

//Beep...Beep...Bee-//

HM Lavender: "Hello, Madame Lavender's speaking how may I help you."

???: "We need to make it at least half a year out of this plan."

HM Lavender: "Are you INSANE? That is too short of a period of time for her!"

???: "I know, but if we didn't make it in time WE. ALL. CAN. DIE!!"

HM Lavender: /sigh/ "We didn't have much of a choice do we?"

???: "I'm afraid so..."

HM Lavender: "I'll see what I can do..."

//Beep//

"Hayley, announce that tomorrow we will have the orientation meeting a bit earlier than what is scheduled."
