As Ahsinav's first day at the academy neared, Ashinav made his way to the academy alongside Havard. As they reached the grand gate of the academy stepping onto the hallowed grounds, Ashinav was greeted by the imposing facade of the academy. With a respectful nod, he followed the head maid, who guided him through the labyrinthine corridors to his designated room. Each candidate was bestowed with a sanctuary of their own, a place where they could get some privacy and rest. As Ashinav moved into his new abode, he felt a surge of excitement, mingled with a hint of apprehension.
After resting for a while. Ahsinav started heading towards his class to attain his first class. As he entered the classroom, his gaze swept across the sea of unfamiliar faces until it settled upon one that sparked recognition - Noah, a familiar presence amidst the sea of strangers. Ahsinav went and sheathed next to Noah. Noah greeted him with a smile.
As Ashinav and Noah were engaged in their conversation, the atmosphere in the room suddenly shifted as a girl entered the classroom, drawing the attention of every student with her mere presence. Murmurs rippled through the air as whispers of recognition flitted from one student to another.
"Isn't she the daughter of the duke?"
"Duke's Daughter?"
"Yeah, Angelina Lorance."
"What a beauty, no doubt."
Some dared to entertain the idea of approaching her while others hesitated, unsure of how to navigate the unspoken boundaries of social hierarchy. Caught in the whirlwind of attention, the girl's gaze swept across the room, her expression a mix of indignation and. The whispers stuttered under the weight of her glare, and silence descended upon the classroom. The girl looked around the room for an empty seat. She made her way toward Ashinav, as she settled into the seat beside him.
As Angelina settled into the seat beside Ashinav, whispers began to ripple through the classroom. Among them, a few voices rose above the rest, laden with mockery and insults.
"Why would she sit there? Wait, what's up with that weirdo's hair and eyes?"
Their words reached Ashinav's ears and ignited a flame of anger within him. With a swift turn of his head, he fixed his gaze upon the source of the insults, his eyes ablaze with an extreme intensity that sent a shiver down their spines.
"You don't have to pay attention to them," Angelica said to Ashinav, her voice carrying a soothing cadence that eased the tension in the air. With a gentle smile, she extended a hand towards him. "I'm Angelica Lorance. What about you?"
"Ahsinav Windlops," he replied, returning her smile.
As their introductions unfolded, Noah seamlessly joined their conversation, adding his name with a friendly nod. "I'm Noah Qailler."
Their exchange was interrupted by the arrival of the teacher.
The classroom fell into attentive silence as the teacher, Lina Uma, introduced herself as their new instructor in the magic arts. With, a commanding presence, she posed a question to the eager students gathered before her.
"How many elements do you think are there?"
Noah rose from his seat with confidence, "There are five main elements, but individuals can manipulate and extend them through new enchantments," he proclaimed.

A smile of approval graced Lina's lips as she acknowledged his response. "Excellent," she replied.
"As you delve deeper into the realm of magic, you'll encounter various forms beyond the basic elements," she elucidated. "Mist, space, ice, and countless others. Yet, despite the vast array of possibilities, few sorcerers manage to create entirely new forms." Pausing for a moment, she turned the question back to the students. "Why do you think that is?" she inquired, her gaze sweeping across the room.
As the question lingered in the air, Angelica's voice broke the silence, "To create a new form of magic, one must possess a deep understanding of Ora. Many can wield Ora, but very few can truly comprehend its essence."
Her insight earned a nod of approval from the instructor, Lina Uma, who raised her hand, a gesture of acknowledgment. With a flicker of concentration, she chanted an incantation, and before their eyes, ice began to form, crystalline and pure.
"What you said is true," Lina affirmed, her gaze sweeping across the room. "Yet, there are also those rare individuals who, are blessed with elements from birth, they possess a deep understanding of the elements.
Mostly those who are gifted from birth are the people who would succeed in making a new one.
Magic is all about creativity. If you want to make a new form you have to be open and always try new things to discover and gain more knowledge, she said
Lina said, "Magic is the epitome of creativity, to forge a new form, one must embrace boundless curiosity, constantly seeking to explore unknown territories and expand the horizons of knowledge."
Lina Uma, posed a new question to her students, her voice brimming with anticipation, "How many of you can wield double or triple elements?"
Five hands shot up in response. Lina nodded approvingly, her curiosity piqued as she beckoned the students forward to share their names and talents.
"Please, introduce yourselves, one by one," she prompted.
With a sense of pride and determination, they stepped forward and, started introducing themselves, "Angelica Lorance," and, I can use water and fire the first proclaimed, "Ahsinav Windlops," I can use earth and wind the second declared, "Noah Qailler," I can use wind, lightning and fire the third announced, "Rin Hioni," I can use wind and water, the fourth revealed her presence and lately, "Ankeet Losna," I can use earth, water, fire, and lightning the fifth concluded with a straight face.
A hushed murmur swept through the classroom as Ankeet revealed the existence of a rare individual capable of wielding four elements. Excitement and speculation filled the air as the students exchanged whispers, their curiosity ignited by the tempting prospect.
Turning her attention to Ankeet, Lina was in confusion. "I never heard of a student like that during the entrance exam," she mused, seeking clarity from the young man.
Rin rose from her seat with a determined expression. "He wasn't present at the entrance, ma'am," she interjected.
Lina's surprise was noticeable, "What?" she exclaimed, her disbelief evident.
With that, she concluded the day's lesson, dismissing the class with a wave of her hand. "Dismissed and Ankeet, please accompany me to my office," she instructed, her tone leaving no room for argument.
Ankeet sighed heavily, a hint of frustration tainting his expression, "What a pain," he muttered under his breath.
Ashinav's mind buzzed with astonishment upon learning of a classmate blessed with mastery over four magical elements. As the day's lessons concluded, he and Noah made their way to the training room, to hone their skills.
After a rigorous session, they exited the training room. It was then they spotted Ankeet emerging from Miss Lina's office, accompanied by Rin, who waited for him outside.
Curiosity Ashinav exchanged a glance with Noah. What happened in that office, he wondered, as they approached Rin and Ankeet.
"Hey, What happened inside," Noah asked Ankeet. Noah's question hung in the air, unanswered, as Ankeet brushed past them without a word.
"What an asshole," Noah muttered under his breath, frustration evident in his tone.
As the sun started setting down. Ashinav found himself in the cafeteria, his gaze drawn once again to Ankeet, who sat with Rin. The mystery surrounding Ankeet remained in Ashinav's thoughts, starting a curiosity that refused to be ignored.
After having dinner Ahsinav went to his room.
He said, "I found a guy who can use four types of elements." to Havard.
"Must be blessing bestowed by the goddess," Havard [whispered]
After serving tea to Ahsinav He went to his room.
Lost in thoughts, Ashinav sank into the sofa, the image of Ankeet haunting his thoughts. "Something about him feels familiar," Ashinav mused aloud after sipping his tea, the puzzle of Ankeet's identity lingering in his mind as he drifted off to sleep.
