Chapter 3: The Grand Announcement

The Grand Hall of Elitia Academy was a sight to behold, its towering ceilings adorned with golden chandeliers, marble pillars etched with arcane runes, and banners representing the academy's long history of excellence. Hundreds of students filled the massive chamber, standing shoulder to shoulder, their hearts pounding in anticipation.

The admission exams were over. Now, their fates would be decided.

At the far end of the hall, on an elevated platform, stood Headmaster Aldric Varian along with several high-ranking instructors. The Headmaster, with his long silver hair and piercing golden eyes, radiated authority. He raised a hand, and the murmurs of the students died down instantly.

"Today," his voice echoed throughout the hall, "you have proven your strength, your intelligence, and your potential. Elitia Academy does not simply accept students we forge protectors of the realm. And so, your performance in the entrance exams has determined where you will begin your journey."

The tension in the air was palpable.

Professor Evandros, the strict examiner from the written exam, stepped forward, holding a long parchment. "I will now announce the class placements," he declared.

The Alpha Class – The Best of the Best

A hush fell over the room as the professor began reading names.

"Those who have demonstrated exceptional abilities in all three categories mind, body, and magic will be placed in Alpha Class. These students have shown the potential to become the elite warriors of Elitia Academy."

He unrolled the parchment and began listing the names:

Rey Vien Windsor ,Khierra Sky Smith ,Kaesy Dane Seneca,Ynah Blair,Velia Lair Luther

Theodore Janssen, Kent Jeremiah Bainbridge -Top scorer in the written exam, unmatched intelligence.

Axel Devuncheek, Keisha Mayie Van Hanss, Justin Pritz, Carl Perez– Shattered every obstacles with a full strength

As their names were called, the chosen few stepped forward, the eyes of the entire hall on them. Some were met with cheers, others with envious whispers. These were the students who would train with the best, receive the finest mentorship, and be groomed for greatness.

The Beta Class – The Strong, but Not the Strongest

Next, the professor moved to the Beta Class.

"Students who have shown strong potential but have yet to refine their skills will be placed in Beta Class. With proper training, many of you may rise to the Alpha ranks."

Names were called, and students sighed in relief or disappointment. Some had missed Alpha by a small margin—perhaps their written scores were weak, or their magic control needed work.

Among them was Kayena Yelz, who barely made it after his close call in the written exam. He gave a relieved chuckle, nudging Rey Vien. "Guess I'll have to work harder if I wanna be in Alpha with you."

Rey Vien smirked. "Maybe try studying next time "

The Omega Class – The Underdogs

Finally, the moment most students feared.

"Those who struggled in the exams will be placed in Omega Class," Professor Evandros announced. "But remember this—every great warrior begins somewhere. Even the weakest flame can grow into a wildfire."

A few students held their breath, dreading the call of their names.

Names had been called one by one, Several students who barely passed their magic evaluations.

A handful who failed the written exam miserably.

Some groaned in disappointment, while others clenched their fists in determination. Omega Class was seen as the lowest tier, but there was still a chance to rise.

A New Beginning

Once all the names had been called, Headmaster Aldric stepped forward once more.

"You now know where you stand. But remember this your class does not define you. It is only the beginning. Through effort, discipline, and perseverance, any of you may rise to greatness."

His golden eyes scanned the crowd. "Elitia Academy will shape you into the protectors of this world. Are you ready for the challenges ahead?"

The students Alpha, Beta, and Omega alike raised their fists and shouted in unison.

"Yes, Headmaster!"

The journey had begun.
