Lorcé Callora in the Academy of Loriostro

Lorcé Callora’s POV"Dear Applicant,              The Admissions Committee has carefully considered your application and we regret to inform you that we will not be able to offer you admission…"My index finger tapped the right button of the mouse to exit the email. I didn’t need to read it all.That was my tenth rejection. I’m already physically and emotionally drained.I knew applying for college would be hard but I didn’t know it was 'this' difficult. I groaned as loud as I could.How am I gonna tell this to my mother?Like ‘Hi mom, I got rejected by every school I ever applied in.’I groaned in frustration again as I leaned on the back of my chair. Mom would kill me! How could this happen to me? Not only mom but people will think, ‘How did the academic girl did not get accepted by any colleges even the low-tuition ones

I shook my head at Rebenkoff and waved my hands in disapproval. “Oh, no thanks! I’m going home. My mother is probably looking for me right now—AAHHHHHH!" He pulled me and we both jumped on the sink hole at the same time.  I’m gonna die! No! I’d rather be killed by my mother for not getting accepted to any college! I kept screaming and screaming and screami— “Lady, we’ve been on the ground since you started screaming.” What? I opened my eyes and saw that I’m slouching down on the ground with my hands covering my ears. I stood up, hysterically wandering my eyes at my surrounding. I realized we are in an empty road.  I also looked up only to see a completely normal blue sky. “What was that!?” I pointed at the sky but I was pertaining to the sink hole. What just happened? “A portal, dear. It takes a second to pass through it.” I gazed away in embarrassment as I realized my ‘scream of fear’

She held my hand and 'dragged' me. As we went out of the door, the busy noise of students walking by and talking to each other greeted my ears.I had the urge to grab Ferris’s elbow in consciousness. The students around the hallways differ in uniform and that’s when I noticed that Ferris was wearing a black uniform with a touch golden yellow. It seems that I was not the only one fascinated as some students were staring at her in awe before they could notice me who is in a very casual out-of-the-place outfit.They started whispering but Ferris was just smiling and not minding them.Of course, they’re probably asking what is a normal being like me doing here. Although they probably don’t know I am just a normal human being.We reached a black door and Ferris courteously opened the door for me but…“Oh, shoot!” Another sink hole!?I looked down at the deep hole and I think I’m develo

“The Guardian of Prophesying Fall came to speak with me personally. He said he had foreseen my daughter having an immense ability. An ability that even she can’t control! I ‘never’ told him I have a daughter. No one knew about it except us.”My mom shook his head in disbelief. “What? That’s not true. That’s impossible! It’s either she has an ability or not!”He reached for my mother’s hands and my mom allowed him.I stayed quiet and just listened because I know it’s something I need to hear. It’s about my identity. An identity I never knew I had.“She needs to be here. Her, staying at the mortal world, will cause a disruption on both realms. She belongs here.”My mother still shook her head. “No, no, no. Even if that’s true, I don’t want her to suffer Zeke. We’ve been there! You know how worse things can be! Do you want that to ha

“Are we sure about this? What if they see us?” I asked Ferris as we were walking in the quiet hallways. Although it seems that everyone is on their first class except us.She just placed her hands behind her and walked confidently. “Don’t worry. The Xenostras training ground and room is in the opposite of where we are.”I felt assured after that. I’m not really used to skipping class but today seems fun.Ferris then turned around me with a bright expression as if she remembered something. “Wanna see something cool and thrilling?”I nodded with a smile not knowing what’s about to happen. She grabbed my hand and lead me somewhere.I stayed silent as we walked on a library with numerous number of busy students studying quietly. We stopped walking rapidly as she signaled me to act normal. We walked into the farthest and most secluded area of the library. My forehead creased when we ende
