KENAN
It was the most peaceful I had slept in a long time until I was dreaming again.
I was clad in an armour on a horse charging into battle, I looked around me and I saw Nikai, Simeon, Leila and 4 other people I had never seen before equally clad in exotic armour riding by my side, I scream and the battle begins, magic was being used on both sides and elements were being parried. I jump from my horse still in motion and land on my two feet subduing an enemy in front of me. I was attacked from all sides but I fight back speedily and within seconds I had killed them all.
In the middle of the war stood a man. He was in the most expensive armour and with how much control he had over magic I know he was the leader of the enemies. I walk up to him and attack. He blocks and gives his own. We fight for a while using both magic and swords with no one getting the upper hand until he casts a spell that keeps me rigid and stabs me.
I jump out of bed waking up from my dream, I was sweating profusely and my heart was beating out of my chest. This dream again, I have been having this dream since the day I became 18 and I don't know the meaning. Before I got the chance to come to Healfard I always thought it was just one of my fantasy dream gone wrong but now that I know I have magic it feels more like a vision.
I walk into my bathroom and wash my face. I look to my side alarm and it was 5:00am in the morning. I put on sweatpants and run ahead outside shirtless. I start running and the feel of fresh breeze on my face and chest helps calm me down. I run for a while before heading back into the hall. I run into a guy on my way up and try to apologize but he gives me the stink eye and walks away muttering curses. How arrogant.
"Hey Tinail what do you know about Healfard students" I ask
"I don't know much except what you know. None of my former host have had any encounter with a student of this school but the guy that just passed us is one pompous oaf" Tinail replies and I laugh.
"You can say that again" I reply
"I'll be spending a long while in a vegetative state to speed up my empowerment process. Can you do without me for a while?" Tinail asks and I scoff
"I just met you I think I have survived fine over the years" I reply and I feel Tinail roll its eyes.
"Well you can still use the storage ring but most people won't expect a Norm to have such an artifact. I'll advice against using it in public though" Tinail says and I nod. I also want to keep my dad's gifts a secret for as long as I can so that seems like the best option.
I shrug off the thought as Tinail goes into oblivion and head to my room. Once in there, it was 6:30am already. Wow, was I out for that long, I quickly rush into the bathroom and take a very long shower, classes can wait. After my shower I apply lotion and open the cupboard. I expected to see a robe but what I saw was different. I put on the uniform and pick up the envelope in there. The uniform looked nice, it was a long sleeve black shirt with the school badge on the left pocket, classic black blaiser equally carrying the school badge and trouser of the same colour with black socks and black shoes also having the school badge.
I open the envelope and it had my schedule and a note,
The note talked about my stationery and others. In the cupboard, there were 5 uniforms and a school bag. I pick the school bag out and open the drawers, one had my textbooks, the other, pen and notes and other stuffs, the other had the gadgets and the final one had magic stuffs. I pick up the school given phone and the airpods, which also had blue or golden pouch and store every other gadget and magical artifacts and equipments in Tinail before opening my timetable. I had

Wow that is a lot of classes for a day. What am I doing with normal classes in a magic college. I pack my bag and toss it over my shoulder and put on my glasses. I have been using them from childhood, it helps me see well and without it I can barely see. I walk out the door and head to first period. I walk up to the stairs and it was so tiring but I finally make the trip down.
I was dropping down the stairs when someone flew past me almost knocking me off the stairs and tripping my balance. He shouts an apology as he disappears out of view. This was when I noticed I was the only one using the stairs, the rest of the people in the dorm were basically MIA or using their powers to get out.
I rush out of the empty living room quickly and head straight to the dinning hall. I walk in and no one cares about me, they all focus on their foods chatting away. The hall was loud and packed but I was able to sight my friends at a table in the far end of the room so I walk up to them. They welcome me with smiles and warm greetings.
"Good morning everyone" I greet
"Morning" they all reply and continue chatting, I was still thinking of ordering when the same thing I was craving appeared in front of me. I screech and they all face me
"How did that get there" I ask scrambling away from the table.
"Wow, you attend a magical school and a wish plate scares you, how ironic" Leila mocks and I glare her
"I remember you having the same expression when you saw it" Nikai replies and everyone burst into laughter, she goes red.
"What did you call it" I ask and Nikai smiles before replying.
"A wish plate, is a plate that brings your greatest cravings to life, it is why the food appeared right as you wanted it" she explains as I nod and take my seat digging in. The dish was exceptional, might I add. I eat and they chat on, I join in as much as I can until suddenly a Prof walks up to our table.
"What is going on here" she asks as she gets our attention.
"Nothing ma. We're just eating our breakfast ma" i reply and she scoffs at ny response. First day and i have to meet a lecturer with attitude problems.
"I know I'm not blind you know. I just want to know what you guys are doing together" she asks and we were all clearly confused. The whole school had their attention on us. Now we have the spotlight, how fortunate.
"I don't understand what is wrong with that ma" I ask and she chuckles.
"What an arrogant one for a norm. If you don't know the school has a clear rule that every supernatural specie eats with their kind. There is no mixture in the Healfard academy" she states and I couldn't believe my ears. What kind of segregation school is this. Just because my friends and I are from different species we can't relate. This is really shitty.
"I'm sorry but this is a very unfair and shitty system you run here. No wonder you produce arrogant, selfish and overhyped graduates everytime. I pick the future of our world's unity if it is relying on this school to produce it's leaders and protectors. I say and once I was done the alarm sounds signalling the end of breakfast. We all pick up our bags not even sparing her a glanc3 and head to class.
According to my school voucger I am meant to attend all my classes in the Outcasts lecture building. I walk out of the dinning and the others head into the main building. The school map was directing me opposite them so I begin my journey on my own.
The further i got the more i relaise i was getting closer to the school forest. I finally arrive at the building. It was painted the sane black as the dorm and had the gothic structure but this place was a little more alive than the dorm. There were flowers all around the place. Beautiful grass outlined the front of the building and most importantly it was illuminated.
Homeroom was first and it was on the 3rd floor. I don't understand how a school with this much stairs won't have an elevator.
My ascent wasn't easy but I finally reach the floor. The hallway was eerily quiet for a school premises, I walk forward and lo and behold as usual the class was at the end of the hallway. My foot resounded round the hallway as I make my way to the door. I finally reach the door and I push it open. It screeches loudly as I open it and walk in shutting it. All eyes were on me because of the noise so I bend my head and find a seat at the back.
The class was very spacious and only 5 people including me were in the class as we speak and there was only one extra chair in here which was right behind a huge desk which I'm sure it is meant for our lecturer. I take my time to check out all the students here and I notice their clothes differ. The only thing we had in common was our tie. The first guy was in classic all Muddish brown blue blaiser with the school badge and trouser of the same colour, Gold shirt and gold shoes and black socks. He was around 6'3, Latino with tanned skin and a firm jaw and the body of a military man. He had dark brown hair and ocean blue eyes.
The other guy was a little shorter but wasn't below 6ft, he had freckles round his light skin face. He had geek shaped glasses and he was lean with light blue eyes and charcoal black shoulder-length hair. He had on classic Sky Blue blaiser with the school badge and trousers of the same colour, purple shirt with the same black socks and gold shoes.
The girls were also beautiful. The first girl was around 5'8 with long blonde hair and emerald green eyes and light skin, she had freckles over her face which increased her beauty. She had on gold shirt and violet plaited skirt and violet suit jacket with the school emblem, black socks and golden big heels.
The other girl was also very beautiful with dark skin and long dark brown hair with dark brown eyes and long lashes. She was on light makeup and around 5'9 also. She had on purple plaited skirt and suit jacket with the school emblem also with auburn shirt, black socks and golden heels also. Her legs were on her table as she typed on with her phone while the lean guy was focused on the book he was reading. The other guy and girl were chatting. I instantly recognise them as the 4 other people from my dream I didn't recognise, this dream is becoming more real by the minute.
Whispers fill the room at my arrival and I was about to put on my earphones when the whole room goes dark and the lights are restored almost immediately. Standing right in front of us was the one and only Prof Healfard. Yeah the school was named after him. He was in his usual robe with a huge smile on his face as he checks round the class and once his face lands on mine his smile widens.
"Well hello guys" he says playfully and I scoff under my breath. The dark girl laughs and Prof throws a glare at me.
"Good morning sir" the fit guy greets so respectfully and Prof smiles at the action.
"Showoff" I say rolling my eyes and the girl laughs again.
"Miss Deblain, do you have anything you want to share with the class" Prof asks and she shook her head trying to hide her smile "then I'll advise you sit very well in my class" he says and she sits well "Welcome to Healfard. You are very lucky to be here and not only here but also in the exceptional Outcast Class. We chose you guys not only because of what kind of power you have" he says
"Hmm, like that isn't important" I reply under my breath and the girl laughs loudly. Prof faces us at intervals frowning.
"Mister Kleitin do you have anything you want to share with the rest of the class" he asks and I nod getting up from my seat. The girl looks at me surprised.
"I said we dont expect you to fool us tith this speech. We all know that power was a prerequisite for the position on this team. Looking at everyone here we all have clothes with colours that are not the same with those in the school meaning you either don't understand what we can do or you are scared of it. That way we have to be sent to the back of the world to study." I repeat and the whole class burst into laughter, only the fit guy glares me down.
"Very hilarious Kleitin but it is also not the only prerequisite" He replies then continue as I take my seat "we also look at your personality and history and some hidden skills you will realize very soon. This is the first Outcast Class we have had in a while and this is why you are special. I will be your Homeroom instructor as most of you already know" he says and face us trying to gauge our attention.
"To the more important issue on ground, choosing the Alpha and Beta of your Class" the fit guys perks up after hearing this and I smile. What a position freak he is.
"Well the Alpha of this class will be none other than" he says and everyone attention was on him so he pauses to mock us
"Mr Kenan Kleitin"
What the freaking hell.
