This is the worst way in which my day could be started. My wing on which he stood still hurts and I am probably late for the class. I somehow muster the courage to get ready for the class and went out to attend it.
And it couldn't be worse my first class was flight class for beginners.

I saw those angels from yesterday and Noire too, I also some beastketeers. The teacher looked at me and then continued to teach. Noire waved at me and signalled me to sit beside him,  this class was quite small compared to   the previous class but it also had some seniors from upper years.

"As you know the first thing most important in a flight is the ability to levitate.."
"But why are we in this class, we already know how to fly, teach these slowpokes rainbows and let us go." Some angels protested along with the beastketeers. Well Noire was sitting quietly even though he knows how to fly.
"You may leave the class if you want, but beware that I won't allow you here ever again." The teacher said as if she doesn't cares about them at all. Then she showed us an example of levitation by herself, she was a beastketeer with large wings like an eagle.

The pain in my wing hasn't subsided yet instead it was increasing as the time was passing by. It was becoming harder and harder for me to bear it.
"Elvis, you ready to start?" I heard Noire asking me.
I nodded at him and started to spread my wings. God it hurts so bad now that I am moving them. The pained expression on my face was noticed by Noire.
"Hey you alright?"
"Listen up! Since there are a majority of rainbows, so we all we do levitation. If you need an example you can ask to that dragon and angel there."
All the rainbows present in the class started looking towards us.
"That doesn't looks like an angel."
"Yeah I'm sure angels don't have wings those large and dragons and angels don't stand next to each other right?"
"Yeah right, they can't stand each other."
The rainbows started talking while the teacher stared at me intensely.
"It can't be, rainbows don't have wings from birth."
The teacher also said in a startled tone."
"N..  No teacher, I just grew them a week ago." The pain was becoming intensely unbearable.
"Jinx, we all also grew wings around that time, except Sophia, she got her yesterday and Yarandley, he got about 2 weeks ago."
I just barely smiled at them, somehow keeping my composed look.
"Your name is.."
"Elvis"
"Elvis right, so can you show us all a levitation"
I started to flap my wings and raise above the ground, but it has just been 5 seconds or so, I lost to the pain and .......

*Noire's POV*

I saw Elvis was having some difficulty, but before I could ask him, the others came and things progressed faster. When Elvis started to flap his wings I could clearly see his pained expression, was he injured? But just a moment later Elvis fainted and fell on the ground.
"What happened? Elvis, Elvis open your eyes, hey..." That was a situation I don't know how to handle, I mean he's just a kid, ans he's so fragile
"Move everyone! Let me take him to the Student Assistance Tower."
Yeah I should probably leave it to the teacher, she should know what to do, but I can't just stay here.
"I'll go with you too" the teacher looked at me nonchalantly
"Um I mean I know where his dorm is and he can't fly so..
"Alright you may, now follow me."
I flew with the teacher leaving all the concerned rainbows behind me, hoping that Elvis will get alright.

We soon reached at our destination and I saw a bunch of angels and rainbows along with humans and beastketeers on our way. I guess people do get injured quite a lot when they start training.

"Clear a bed right now, we have a kid who just fainted"
"Woah easy there dragon, don't you feel ashamed to call yourself a kid even after being a 100 years old."
"It's not me you nitwit, now get out of my way."
"Heh you might be a 100 year old dragon but don't let it reach to your head."
"Move Aside! Both of you."
Upon hearing the teacher's voice that arrogant 4 winged rainbow finally let us through.

*Kayron's POV*

What's wrong with this dragon, can't he see we all are injured front he practice too.
"Move Aside! Both of you."
I turned to look towards the voice and saw Ms. Heathkins carrying a child in her arms. Wait those distuinghly white wings and lush long black hair looks similar to the one I encounterd in the morning, that girl sure was beautiful. But when the teacher came closer and I looked at the face of the child, I wasn't expecting her to be the same one. I went along with the teacher too to see what happened.

The Assistance team prohibited us from entering further, saying it was the treatment chamber and only the injured can stay here. I waited for the teacher to come out and I saw that dragon going back and forth again and again. Soon the teacher arrived and told us that she was fine, her wing was fractured due to some extreme pressure applied on it. Since the wings just grew out, they are delicate and even more considering the age of the child. It will heal up eventually.

"That's gotta be a bad experience for a kid who just got into our school."
"What do you mean just got, isn't she 10 years old already, although her height is exceptionally low..."
"What do you mean by she, and how do you know the age of someone you've never met."
I didn't have the answers to the questions of the dragon but I can't lose face here, what does a dragon even know about a rainbow.
"Of course I know, because rainbows grow wings when they are 10 years old and I know it because she's my roommate."
"Hah...  So you are his roommate....  I can't believe this,  so Mr. Roommate do you even know his name?"
