Julianna POV
I was standing and staring now at a very large black gate covered with vines and with the word Paranormal High written on it with rusts.
The gate is obviously old, and even its design is due to rust.
This is it Julianna, you are already in front of an extraordinary school.
You are already in front of your dream school.
Your dream is ahead and within your reach.
I wiped the tears that dripped down my cheeks from my eyes.
l am so happy because finally, my dream is in front of me. It's only a matter of time before you can enter a prestigious school here in Fall City.
I grabbed my luggage again as the old and high gate slowly opened.
This is it.
"Ms. Harris." A man in his fifty's or maybe older smiled, he is probably the principal of this school.
"I'm Chairman Johnson, one of the official officers at this School."He introduce himself.
"Nice to meet you." I said with a smile.
"Welcome to Paranormal High." He said with a smile so I smiled.
"Thank you." I said. She took one of my luggage and started walking while talking.
"We will first go to my office to give you the uniform and the key to your room, I'll also give you the rules and regulations paper so you know the rules of this school. Hope you enjoy your one year stay here. " He said with a smiled and I smiled back.
"You're a happy woman." He commented so I looked at him..
"l just can't believe that I'm now in the school of my dreams." I said. He stopped slightly so I stopped too. He turned to face me with a smile.
"You can now believe it, it's a great privilege to get into this school." He says.
"I'm really happy because I'm already in here, when I was young I used to just look at the school from the outside. Now I have the opportunity to see and explore the inside of it." I said with a smile. He started walking so I started walking too.
"Many aspiring creatures can enter this school, apart from the beauty of this school you will learn and learn a lot especially about the supernatural " He said with a smile so I nodded.
We were now in front of a large door which I assumed is the entrance door.
Are you ready Ms. Harris?" He asked while smiling and looking at me.
"Ready. I said.
Slowly the big golden door opened and I was almost stunned when I saw inside.
From the center is placed a huge fountain featured with the design of the Paranormal high logo. There are butterflies flying accompanied by some students with the ability to fly.
There are students walking and chatting, other students running and playing, and those who use their power and there are nerds who just read a book.
There are pictures on the wall on display and there are also designs that are very nice to look at.
Wow this is really nice.
"Ms. Harris, are you coming?" Chairman asked so l nodded and started walking inside Paranormal high with the Chairman.There are some students walking around looking at me. There are also some who smile at me so I smile too.
l just look around the place taking it all in.
They are right, this school is very nice.
"Ms. Harris, here we are in front of my office" Chairman said so I looked to the front and my eyes almost widened when I saw the huge door.
All the doors here this big.
"Let's go Ms. Harris" Said the Chairman and opened the door. I followed him in and was amazed to see his very large office.
"Chairman. Is this office just for you?" I ask.
"Yes." He replied with a smile.
l just looked around the vase space, which looked like three ordinary houses in a subdivision.
"Ms. Harris, this is your uniform and this is your key" Chairman said and handed me the key and uniform
It is black and the sirt is knee -length.
"Room 48 is your room and these are the rules and regulations, please read them when you get to your room, this is your class is scheduled." He said and I took what he handed me.
"The equipments you will use for school projects are already in your room." He said so l nodded.
"Please sign this." He said so I immediately signed the form and gave it to the chairman with a smile.
"You are now officially student of Paramount high, welcome to Paranormal High Julianna Harris. You're journey begins here."
Lily POVIt had been five days since Lila returned from the Rite of Elderwood.I sat in the academy’s main dining hall with Julianna and Lyra, pushing food around my plate. The usual chatter filled the room, but my eyes kept drifting toward the entrance.“She’s been… different,” I said quietly.Julianna looked up. “Still no improvement?”Before I could answer, the doors opened.Lila walked in.She was dressed entirely in black — a sleek, high-collared outfit that made her look older and more imposing. Her posture was straighter, her steps confident and measured, almost regal. The usual warmth in her face was gone.She didn’t even glance in my direction.With a casual flick of her hand, she used telekinesis to pull plates and utensils from three different tables at once, arranging them neatly in front of her as she sat down alone. Several students whispered, staring o
Lila POVThe Worldroot Tree stood before me like a god.It was colossal — easily the height of the academy’s tallest tower. Its trunk was ancient, gnarled, and pulsing with deep emerald and golden light that flowed like blood through veins. The air around it vibrated with raw, primordial power. Fallen branches lay scattered at its base like offerings. Safe. Traditional. The choice every other candidate had made for centuries.I stared up at the living branches still attached to the tree, glowing with immense energy.My body was screaming.Blood dripped from multiple cuts across my arms and side. My legs trembled with exhaustion. My mana reserves were nearly empty, flickering dangerously. Every breath burned.But the anger… the anger was still there.Burning hotter than ever.I took one shaky step forward.You’re powerful enough on your own.Lily’s cold voice echoed in
Lila POVThe portal closed behind me with a soft, final thrum.I stood alone in a world that felt alive.The Aetherwood Realm. Towering trees stretched endlessly upward, their bark pulsing with faint veins of emerald and gold light. The air was thick, humid, and heavy with raw, the sky blood red, untamed mana. Roots moved slowly across the forest floor like living veins. Leaves whispered even though there was no wind. Everything felt aware. Watching.I took a deep breath and started walking.The Rite of Elderwood had began. My last real chance to prove I wasn’t just Lily’s lesser twin.The forest resisted me almost immediately.Vines slithered toward my ankles like serpents. I burned them away with a sharp burst of flame. The moment I used the magic, the trees around me seemed to shudder. Shadows detached from the trunks — creatures made of darkness and hunger. They lunged at me, drawn to the mana I had rele
Julianna POVThe morning of the staff test felt heavier than usual.I stood with Lyra near the edge of the main courtyard, watching students gather around a large ceremonial platform. The air hummed with anticipation and nervous energy. In the center stood Lila. She hadn’t smiled once since arriving.“She’s been training like a demon for weeks,” I said quietly to Lyra. “What exactly is this Rite of Elderwood? Why does it matter so much to her?”Lyra crossed her arms, her expression unusually serious.“It’s not just a test, Julie. It’s one of the most important rituals for mages. The Rite of Elderwood determines whether you’re worthy of wielding a Staff — a physical symbol that you’ve reached a higher class of magic. It’s like earning a badge that says ‘I’m on another level.’”She nodded toward Lila. “Lily got hers when she was really y
Lila POVThe training yard was empty when I stormed back into it, the sun already dipping low behind the academy walls. My boots kicked up dust with every angry step. My hands still trembled from the confrontation with Lily. The words kept replaying in my head like a curse I couldn’t shake.Better things.I stopped in the center of the yard, chest heaving. The dummy I had destroyed earlier still lay in pieces around me. I stared at the wreckage, breathing hard, feeling the familiar burn of humiliation and rage twisting together in my stomach.She had promised.She had looked me in the eye and said she would help me prepare for the Rite of Elderwood — the one I had failed every single year. This was supposed to be my year. My chance to finally prove I wasn’t just the lesser twin. The spare. The one who tried hard but never quite measured up.And she hadn’t even shown up.I clenched my fists. Mana crackled
Lila POVAlone in the training yard, my shadow stretched thin under a slanting sun. Cracks webbed through the stones beneath me. A sharp tang lingered - ozone, burnt soil - the leftover breath of old magic. Time crawled past sixty minutes before anyone showed.Lily never showed up like she said she would. She should have been around by now.She had promised.It started three days back when I spotted her among the shelves, quiet like always. Not rushing it, I approached with a question held tight between my teeth. Careful wording mattered more than luck that afternoon. Would she help me prepare for the upcoming test? Each previous try ended the same way - failure. Year after year, nothing changed until now. This round felt different even if hope usually burns too fast. Losing wasn’t an option anymore, not this time around.Her head dipped slightly, eyes still fixed on the page. "Fine. I will come."But she didn’t.Pacing back and forth across the dirt, each step stirred tiny puffs of d
