Chapter 1: New Beginning
Asher tripped on the front steps, his luggage flying out of his hands. He landed with a thud, his dignity bruised but his humor still intact. As he scrambled to gather his belongings, he grinned wryly - this was not exactly the entrance he had envisioned for his first day at the Silvermist Academy.
The other students stared at him and thought his behavior strange, they nevertheless ignored him and each continued with their business. He looked around and smiled. The Silvermist Academy is renowned as the most prestigious magic school in the entirety of the Jardel Continent.
It had produced extraordinary mages and fighters every year and this year would be no exception as the final year students were gearing up for their final exams and the first prince, Arin Jardel was the most popular and most powerful student in the school and this year is the year he graduates.
"Asher Blackwood. Aged 15. Known magical attributes - 4." The woman in front of him said as she handed him his student card. "Your room is on the 4th floor. Room 101."
"Thank you ma’am."
Asher clambered up the stairs, he stared at every door frame in search of his room although he been clearly told that his room was in the 4th floor. And there he stood in front of the door of room 101. He knocked and then opened the door.
He saw a bunk bed and on the bottom bunk, someone was lying there apparently reading a book.
"This is interesting." The boy on the bed muttered as his gaze shifted from the pages of his book to Asher who still stood staring at him.
The young lad had blonde hair and blue eyes, he seemed a bit taller than Asher and he was extremely handsome as well.
"Hi, I’m Asher Blackwood. I’m a new student."
"I’m called Victor Salena. I am also a new student."
