LILAC

~ Chapter 3: Under the Moonlight ~

Lilac's POV

After having a shower and putting on Orion's t-shirt that came up to my knees, I came outside of the washroom and plumped on the bed. The blanket was really fluffy. My fingertips treaded along its surface, feeling the fabric.

Looking around the room, there wasn't much furniture, making it very spacious. It had white walls with high ceilings, a study table, and a chair along with a huge window closed by white curtains. Darius and Orion will help me set the room up tomorrow.

The Academy pays for everything in the student dorms as we belong to a prestigious academy paid by all the rich people within the country. In return, occasionally, they request services from the Academy for solving mysterious cases using their powers. It was a mutually benefitting deal for both parties.

This world seemed to be similar to my previous world. Earth exists with water and land, making it survivable for humans to inhabit. There are places where mobile phones, tabs, and other electronic devices are used. There are cars, motorcycles, buses, vans, and other types of vehicles that run on magic instead of coal, diesel and other fuel types. 

However, within the Academy it is useless to have such devices as everything can just be taken care of with the flick of a finger. Further, the internet does exist here but people from the academy are banned on using the internet due to certain reasons. Firstly, a very small percentage of the population with powers exist and if this secret was exposed to the world, many people would try to come after them and possess that kind of power. It could prove to be destructive. Therefore, it is very true that the average citizens of this country do not have any information about the existence of magic.

I learnt a little about the different types of magicians and sorcerers. There were five different types of magicians based on how rare and strong their powers were. People in Class five have some magic powers, but they were mostly limited to people who worked as caretakers of houses and could communicate with animals and magical beasts. Additionally, these animals were all magical beasts who had superpowers. Class four consisted mostly of people who could talk to animals and take care of them. Class three consisted mostly of people who could make amazing potions or could cast protective barrier spells or shields when fighting in battles. For example, The Academy was inside a protection barrier that makes it invisible to everyone except those with magical powers or foresight. Class two consisted of people with strong magical powers who could fight against evil forces. The headmaster, Mr. Gerald, fell in this category. Lastly, Class one consisted of people with extremely rare and strong magical powers that could prove to be destructive in nature. They needed to be protected as their power may be a miracle or a curse for the user.

All the legends and myths that we read in storybooks about vampires, werewolves, demons, sirens, and other magical beings truly exist here. They have existed in this world since the beginning. We didn't have the time to discuss more as I was tired and they had to get rid of the scent of black blood on them, something about it being too strong and bothersome.

The floor that we lived on was a part of the upper class, consisting mainly of Class One and a few selected Class Two members. A butler was placed in charge of cleaning, bringing food and taking care of other household related concerns. He only showed up when you called out his name. He's dressed similar to the escort we saw earlier. There are a total of three other dorms like ours. Out of which only one has been occupied right now. The other two have been left empty. The Academy has everything on campus - libraries, spas, cafeterias, clothing stores, electronic shops, studying areas, potion shops, and anything else one could think of. They also have practice grounds which have shields surrounding them to prevent any magic from getting out of hand. The Academy basically has a city of its own. Further, only people who had a yellow compass called 'vortex' could enter this place.
