Third Person’s POV
“It happened thirteen days ago, sir. The girl turned nineteen and that’s when her awakening happened. The academy tried hard to keep this confidential but they could no longer control it,” a middle aged man reported.
The man in a white coat fixed his glasses. “Understood. Lorcé Callora you say? Callora. Callora. Hmmn. Interesting.”
“A Callora who had no abilities and experienced a late awakening?” Another man approached.
The man in a white coat nodded in amusement. “Yes, yes. A rare gem. We’ve got to have a hold on this matter. And as Examiners, the academy should allow it, don’t you think?” A dangerous smirk coming off from his lips.
Lorcé Callora’s POV“It’s not working. Nothing’s happening. I give up!” I slumped on the chair and totally laid my back on the back rest.
“Now, now. Stand up and try again, odd one. I have class this afternoon.” I am alone with the impatient Professor Kazar in an indoor trai
Hi there everyone, this is LINKINARMS. I hope you're enjoying Lorcé Callora in the Academy of Loriostro! Comment anytime!
Lorcé Callora’s POVAfter a moment of awkward silence, the man beside me spoke. “We should begin your training.”Sir Conrad said that Cavroz will replace him for today in supervising my training because he had to go home for a family emergency. He left after leaving those few words.I nodded then evaded his gaze. I should thank him, right? For that night. I remember everything that happened, the pain, the darkness, the cracks on my skin, the light, the lake, the desperation I showed when I saw his stunned expression, the way I held him tightly and how he carried me. I felt my cheeks suddenly burning.What am I thinking!? No! I should just pretend I don’t remember anything. I’m too embarrassed to say it!I cleared my throat and followed him. “What made you want to learn the whip?” He asked while inspecting the whip I’ve been using. He rolled them and with just a swift move, he released it
The next morning, I was awoken by a sequence of loud knocks on the door. So loud that it pissed me off!“Who is it?” I asked and leaned my tired face on the door.“LORCÉ!! IT’S US!!”I immediately opened the door. “Ferris!?”“AAAHHH!” She squealed and hugged me tight. Venice was behind her with her expressionless face. As always.But I couldn’t help but smile. “Oh my god! What are you doing here? I thought students weren’t allowed to come here?”Ferris broke the hug and clasped her hands. “Lady Sultana and Professor Zeke ordered us to visit town. They told us we can take you with us.”“Town? For what? Isn’t it too early?”Their faces fell then they both looked at me in disbelief. “Early? It’s already nine o’clock. Is that early for you?” Venice countered.Nine o’clock!? “W
I firmly closed my eyes at the fast wind I’m encountering while keeping my soul in check. Cavroz is riding the horse too fast I can barely open my eyes.Wait. I can feel mana. A huge amount is being used around the place.I focused my senses. The closer we get to the area, the louder the people crying and struggling can be heard. I opened my eyes and I can almost sense where the commotion is as if it's right in front of me. Some houses are on fire and—“AH!” I shouted when the horse is suddenly trying to stop.No, Cavroz is stopping the horse. He must have realized he unconsciously brought me to a danger zone. “NO! KEEP. GOING!” I said firmly. I heard him groaned in response but he didn’t object. Because we have no time to spare.Wild spirits the man said. Now what the hell are those!?We arrived near the village and we came into a halt behind a small house. He jumped down before looking up at me
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
Okay, confirmed. This. is. a. joke!I looked up and down from the paper where the address is to the old classic coffee shop in front of me.I scoffed in disbelief.But come to think of it, this place is rather more decent than I expected.I’m glad I didn’t expect much.Well then, I’ll just grab some coffee here before I go home. I kept the paper in the pocket of my jeans before reaching for the door.To my surprise, the door opened first and some man wearing a black coat that hangs to his feet and also wearing a black hat came out of it.I instantly walked backwards and the grim reaper-looking man glanced at me before walking away casually.He didn’t even bother to say anything!“Thanks!” I uttered sarcastically before entering the coffee shop. The bell chimed as soon as I came in.To my surprise again, there’s no customer inside. There is only an old man in
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 hanged up the phone, stood up and walked towards me aggressively with wide eyes.I tried hard not to walk backwards until her face is now twelve inches away from mine.She stared into my eyes and I swear I felt like she looked into my soul.She then faced Rebenkoff with a questioning look. “How did I not caught her presence when she passed through the entrance?”The latter was confused before giving her a serious look. “Lady Sultana, that should be my question too. How come you cannot sense her when you can sense even normal humans? However, the same thing happened to me before we passed through the portal. She doesn’t have an elemental energy!"The lady named Sultana shook her head before returning her eyes to me. “That’s impossible.”“But did I hear it right, Lady Sultana? Is she—“ He cut off his own words and now they’re both looking at me.Do we not do pro
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
