Novel & Cerita Academy 183

I replied. “Also, I found out that they are all 4 located in Rome. That’s where The Academy headquarters are, but they are all here in Maine for the next two weeks. Something about a company merger, something big it sounded like.” He said. I stayed silent for a moment, then I exhaled.

It seems that here at the Academy there are 4 levels of groups. Inferior is the lower group. Mitte is the middle group. Superior is one of the highest groups. The Royalties is the highest among the groups. They're also the most powerful among the students. We talked to Liana of course except for Ash. I hope I can do that too. To keep quiet and lose the pack around me but it is not possible. I have to pretend to be cheerful and I miss my old self. It's really hard to pretend. I still have to endure being with them. I feel so exhausted.

Before I could start to cry, Gabe ran out, all legs and arms and thick curly hair, and helped me up. "You'll be okay," he'd said, brushing off my knees. "Shake it off." "The academy is a place for them to learn about the supernatural, train, and gain strength. They've been learning - though they didn't know it at first - how to help, hunt, and kill supernatural creatures of all kinds in case any of them came after my boys or, more specifically, you." I lifted my glass to take a drink and stiffened. "Why would anything else be after me?"

The idea of eating breakfast makes me nauseous. I exit my room and pause in the hallway, because I've no idea where classes are in this place. There wasn't time to show me around. The Academy is a three-story mansion that resembles a Victorian-Goth style architecture. Well, I'll look around until I find someone to show me the way or find it myself. My sneakers squeak across the title as I stroll down the hallway, the book of magical history tucked under my arm. I scratch at the collar of my shirt which feels like it's choking me and soaked in so much starch it's stiff like it could stand up on its own.

Cece starts. L-A-N-G! L-E-Y ACADEMY! FIGHT, FIGHT, COURAGEOUS KNIGHTS! WE WILL WIN FROM NIGHT TO LIGHT! L-A-N-G! L-E-Y ACADEMY! FIGHT, FIGHT, COURAGEOUS KNIGHTS! WE WILL WIN FROM NIGHT TO LIGHT! It then dawned to us just how many students from our school came out to watch tonight's match. The next thing we knew, almost everyone in the bleachers were cheering. Our cheer was just that damn catchy.

I demand, my jaw hard. "Because Daniel attacked three students the other day and they reported that Diana helped and that it was because of you. So per the Council's initial terms regarding your stay here, you will keep away from both of them unless you'd rather be relocated to the Cage. The Academy is a privilege and if you cannot abide by the rules then it will be taken away," he tells me, his voice angry. "You're taking away my only friends in ten years because they tried to help? What the hell is wrong with you assholes?" I yell, slamming my fists down onto his desk.

THE VAST greenery of the surrounding field of the academy astonished Tori as they stopped at the entrance of the school. Every nook and cranny of the architecture of Trifecta Academy screamed Renaissance style in front of them. The old-looking palace preserved history and sophistication the more anyone stared at it. Prince Lauren went out of the carriage first and strode inside the academy like Tori and Prince Corean were not his companion. Jerk Prince Corean offered him his hand, which Tori took since all the royal knights were looking at them as they went out of the carriage.

He kissed the top of her head one last time before leaving to join Adrian and Ronan who had already left and as promised 20 minutes later they were all 4 of them in front of the cliffs that marked the end of the Academy's territory. When Cassy asked them what was on the other side Steven told her that there was a large ocean and that on the other side of this ocean was the territory of the Academy of Tulliac which was the number one Academy in Astoria. Adrian told her that the Academy of Catara was number 3 and that the ranking of the 5 biggest Academies of Astoria was made during a big annual tournament where the best warriors and the best mages of the Academies faced each other.

She takes a breath and then follows the lines. "As you are here in this Academy you will not be treated specially, you must follow rules and regulations. I'm sure you all know ladies that your performance will have a big impact on the selection, the one who will be continued to be selected will have a chance to enter the palace. You will be taught how to fight, about politics, and many more. I hope you will learn a lot from this Academy…" Katara looks around as they walk, the wall of the Academy is more likely a vintage one. She heard this school is more than a hundred years old, the ceiling is high and she saw a lot of paintings hanging on the wall. She even saw the massive portrait of the

he adds, almost as if he's handing down a legacy she should be proud of. Zuria takes the papers silently, the embossed emblem pressing into her fingertips like a brand. The parchment is thick and pristine, smelling faintly of ink and old money, carrying a formality that feels suffocating. It isn't an opportunity it's a sentence. An exile dressed up in ambition. The Academy has a reputation that borders on legend: a fortress for the gifted and the broken alike, its sprawling campus shrouded in mist and secrets, hidden away behind gates that seem to groan with the weight of the expectations they protect.
