Thanks to strict academic standards, Cinderfall Academy was brimming with students of high magical aptitude. High indeed, for the academy was ranked amongst the top schools in the Imperium, easily the top in the south-west, based on the magical median. As much a curse as it was a blessing, from where I stood. Stiff competition and multiple curses threatened to rob my standing right out from under me. If I maintained peak marks, I didn’t have to concern mtself with giving up my dorm to Lord so-and-so's brat. Unfortunately, book smarts had limits, and the practical exams were bound to hit with a vengeance. If not for Cinderfall, I’d be back at the orphanage. My anxiety returned, just thinking about it, and I swiped those thoughts away.

Nope.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnjxeDYg0x
My anxiety came anyway. Why? Because physical education was next on the schedule. It was the second semester, boys and girls. This is where the world ended, where my inadequacy really prepared to rear its head.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIFqn0b9zy
So, why was I forced to attend this course? Right, physical eduation was a mandate. It just happened to be one of Calum's recommendations on the road to academic success. Of course, the goal could be nothing but a pipe dream.

Blah and bleh roll around in my thoughts, deep in the mud pit.

Trudging through concrete arches, wading through hosen, tunics, and what the scholars call pheromones, I began to second-guess everything about my future. Why did I care so much about having a prestigious occupation anyways? Maybe, it’s because nobody told me I couldn’t be a Magistrix? Somehow or another, I would harness the arcane and manipulate elements on a whim.

I beseeched the gods for the power to set my enemies on fire. That is all. Too much to ask? Yet, that ship sailed farther away with every lesson. To channel the mara crystals seemed impossible. Without that basic abilitity, what could I be but a priestess? But, but, but did I want to take those vows? No! I coud never blend in with the clergy or those sisters. What did they need to be strong casters? Zeal! Everybody knows that clergy members need zeal. My zeal was zero.

"Godsdammit!" I said aloud. Sauntering down the hall, some passing students glowered at me.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrYzRKKp4g
"Hey!"
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttiNt2161x
After dallying in the halls for too long, stuck in my head, I tried to hop, skip, and jump toward the arena. And I failed.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LTo5aOFgl
"Hey!"
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKy4AgJ0w9
Who was being so loud?
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPGbm26haJ
"Hey!" A random ball of pale skin jumped in front of me: a boy. It startled me so, I almost tripped over the tiles. My hand shot to my cast to keep from stumbling. Who was this boy? Why did he do that? Confusion. Annoyance. Here I was, stuck before the combed and blonde piece of dough in front of me. He wore a silly cap on top of a goofy smile sliced with reddish dimples and a particular incision in between those buck teeth making him appear plumper. Somebody needs to lay off the cafeteria toffee, know what I mean? But then I recognized him. He was in my last class; was he not? Yes, yes, he was.

"You are Pollux!" he stated, tightening his dimples wit a smile.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvMrZqqbOz
"Am I?"
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYRwJMXYhl
His face frowned in self-doubt. Gullible little meatball.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9xEoCFDE1
I rolled my eyes. "Yes, I am..."
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtK0uTul3H
"I saw you chant that spell in Tome Study! Are you, like, some savant or something?"
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmCYPq5dRe
"I don't know; that was my first time."
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGpaKlicxv
"So, you are a savant!"
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQazVkrVGE
"Listen!" I said sternly.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGqDlDAhxV
The little gentleman froze. When he froze, I walked ‘round and right past him, silently. Unfortunately, he decided to follow me.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdAXrOu0e1
"So, Pollux, are you going to be a priestess? Maybe become Hierophant one day? My mother wanted to be Hierophant, but she said she couldn't because she had me. She said I can be Hierophant, so she takes me to the chapel and teaches me the Sacred Verse. You seem like you know you're way around holy magic, which is surprising! I have never seen you at the chapel! Maybe, I missed you. I ask because I was wondering if you tutor? I bet it's hard, though. Though, probably not for someone as good as you. Where are you going?"

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDaYoO2gXS
"It's Roy."
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iqZoe1BWh
"Ron. As you can see," I gestured to my cast with the limp leg within, "I can do neither acros nor batics."
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SBYYp0o6o
"Hehe, you talk talk funny. Is it true that you lost your memory?"
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIazf3xxdx
I stop. "And where did you hear that from, Roy?"
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre9tT17QAO
"I just heard it through the berry vines."
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbYO8CMxJ8
"Berry bines?"
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCTcdjWx6T
"Some other students were whispering in class about it."
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz1ErPBzUt
For such a big academy, word spread spectacularly fast. Maybe ‘twas a fluke, a pebble in the stream. Roy was an anomaly. Most students couldn’t know about my condition, of which there is more than one, one being obvious. I refused to accept it. Sigh. I made my way through the open halls, which were all but empty now.
