Chapter 13 - Ch11- Amusing+Victim

(Alora, a 7 years old kid had the guts to attend the top no.1 magic academy's entrance test, she looks young and inexperienced..Can she actually do it?)

Nira: Participants are asked to state their elements.

(When it was Alora's time to register:-)

Alora: I don't know what's my element.

Nira: Seriously? Another rookie who didn't even prepare the basic thing.

(Although it sounded like the examiner, Nira wouldn't check Alora's element, She did, Alora followed to a room where in the centre, a large colourless crystal ball was placed.)

Nira: Place your hand on the crystal.

(Alora did as she was told to, the crystal ball shook and then, glowed a bright..)

Nira: "White" colour? How is that possible? That's not even an element. Perhaps, there was a mistake.

(Some officials argued that never has the crystal ball made a mistake so that's not possible, this child either is a gift by the gods or a disaster to the humanity.)

Nira: Child, do you have any slightest idea on what your powers do?

Alora: I don't know about that but I can see ghosts! And I know how and when you die!

Nira: Child, this is a serious matter, I need you to be frank with me. If indeed what you said is true then why not prove it?

Alora: Alright, on 27th lunar year, 19th day, you'll die of severe mana poisoning.

Nira: What! That can't be true..I have a lot of enemies but they won't do something as shameful as mana poisoning!

Alora: Your wish to believe it or not also, I noticed since I've come here that there's a ghost next to you who's in tears, you might know him?

Nira: Off topic but how does he look like?

Alora: 5 inches taller than you, brown hair, bearded man, in his mids 30's I'd say.

Nira: What's his eye colour?

Alora: Green, also he died 6 years ago as per the red bar due to a monster outbreak?

(Nira dropped to the floor, that couldn't possibly be her younger brother, could it? Afterall, this child is not as simple as she seems, there was no need to cry in front of a child so why was there tears in her eyes?)

Alora: It's okay to cry, I know the feeling of losing a family member.

(Nira wiped her tears and quickly, got up. Alora was 7 years old so where's her family? When she came to register, she was alone, no one was with her, why? These seeds of doubt sprouted in Nira's mind.)

Nira: Alora Serenity? I've neved heard of a family who can use magic go by the last name, "Serenity"?

Alora: That's cause I don't have any...A kind lady did adopt me but she died yesterday...That's why I want to help people like me and her, cast aside by the world for being unique.

Nira: Sorry to hear that, you're quite young and there's no one to back you? Child, you may not believe me because of my rude behaviour earlier but I'll help you enroll into this academy no matter what.

Alora: You seem kind too but I don't think I'll need any help besides, I don't like people pitying me.

(Alora had that sharp look in her eyes as if every one of her move was with caution, people can't be trusted, they must have ulterior motives as seen from past examples.)

Nira: Whatever you say, but I do need nothing from you, I am not curious about my death so I needn't know the exact timing. Death is natural and unavoidable so why not let it happen?

(Alora shivered slightly..Hasn't someone rold her that before? Who was it? Why can't she remember? Ah, it was her mother. People, officials and teachers discussed about the possibility of a new elementalist. Even the principal of the top magic academy, "Crimosn Haven" was struck by Alora's ability, she planned to come to personally greet Alora by herself. Alora on the other hand, had to wait till evening to know about her enrollment acceptance.)
