going back ( a kotlc story )

chapter 9 physical education

A/n sorry i haven't posted in a while, I've had a lack of motivation lately, I wrote a couple sentences everyday though and I'm trying to draw a cover, but i might stick with this one, because I'm not to good at drawing. Hope you enjoy reading.

Every Tuesday and Thursday the whole school would have physical education together. The locker rooms were outside, sandwiched between a huge field of purple grass and the amphitheater that looked like a domed Colosseum. As soon as she set foot through the door, hundreds of girls stopped talking to stare at her.

Sophie kept her head down and rushed to a personal changing room. Sophie put on her uniform and put her hair in a ponytail. Then she emerged into the main room just as Stina and her minions stalked by like they owned the place.

Stina laughed when she spotted her. "I give the new girl six months before they ship her off to Exillium." She said, loudly enough for everyone to hear.

Marella's voice cut across the room. "That's about how long your dad lasted, want it?" she stalked and got in Stina's face. "Actually, I doubt he even made it that far."

"You want to compare parents, Redek." Stina hissed. Marella was so tiny Stina like she could squish her-but she didn't flinch. "My family may not be nobility, but at least their not trying to fool anyone- unlike some people in this room."

"Take that back." Stina demanded. "I will when it stops being true." Marella dragged Sophie outside and into the amphitheater as Stina shouted idle threats. All the prodigies were grouped by level, and Marella led her to the crowd of level twos.

"Are you ready for this?" Dex asked, jumping up and down. "I know you're pretty bad at this, so I'll go easy on you." he said with a wink.

Twelve mentors entered the room, two mentors per level. They would be channeling today, something Sophie was very good at.

They were supposed to channel the strength of their mind to different body parts. Jumping to super heights, running at super speed, and crushing things with super strength.

Sophie made her way to telepathy during lunch break, deciding she get there early, like last time. "Am I too early, Tiergan?" She asked as he startled to his feet.

He turned at the edge of his cape. "Of course not." "Uh, should I sit?" She asked to fill the silence. He shook his head, snapping out of his daze. "Actually, I prefer to probe thoughts standing up. I think better on my feet." He moved towards her.The bells chimed at the end of lunch.

"Couldn't hear anything either?" Sophie asked knowingly. "If you weren't so obviously alive, I would assume I was probing a dead mind."

"Can you tell me what I am thinking right now?" He asked quietly. She stretched out her consciousness. "You're wondering how to train me if you can't probe my mind."

All color drained from his face and he turned away, steadying himself against one of the chairs. "In that case, I suggest you have a seat. We need to have a very long talk about ethics."

A/n Sorry bout that I'm going to be a little less relying on the books and go more into my own thing hopefully for the next few chapters. There might be new characters coming soon, you might know them🫨
