Chapter 1: "Oh well, hello there!"

Hello, my name is Rimoire Kyle Friendster.
And I shall explain to you before the story starts.

We species should have unlocked powers that are based on the very 7 elements and these are:

Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, Ice, Light, and Darkness.

And those very elements that I said are the powers we should unlock.

But there is one rumor that is popular. There might be one more element. No one has ever unlocked this. But there's only one person who ever unlocked that, and that is The Collector. They were known to be evil and stealing others power elements, hence The Collector. The 8th element was something one person can't name, can't describe, can't even use an adjective for its glorifying yet terrifying beauty.

But that's just a rumor I don't believe but anyways.
Everyone else usually unlocked their own powers or elements at the ages of 6.
But that wasn't the case.
By the time I turned 6, I thought I was a late bloomer.
But then I never really got my powers.
I was still in denial back then, still in denial now.
And so here I am dumbly learning everything about the powers.

And oh! I can give you facts!
A person who is professional at one specific element is called

If they are professional at ice: Iceshifter
If they are professional at earth: Gardenist
If they are professional at darkness: Darkener
If they are professional at light: Lightener
If they are professional at wind: Fanist
If they are professional at water: Aquanist
If they are professional at fire: Apoynist

Okay okay!! Enough yapping!! Now let's begin the main story!

Rimoire's POV:

"HA! You have no powers!" "You are hopeless!"
The voices in my head keep having flashbacks on the memories I had before as the voices shouted at me. I entered the school feeling tired and really, really bored. They would look at me in the same expression, as if they were cornering me, my seat is in a corner so that makes sense giving this intense feeling. And then he came in, John. John was the leader of those who bully me. If they won't follow his command, he will hit them badly with his earth powers. He got blessed by the gods of the most powerful element in the world, hence Earth.
"Hey Kyle, I was wondering if you could buy me a drink later?" He asked. I simply said "No." In a very polite and demure way. "When you don't, you know what happens right?" He threatened me. He always would push me through the soil ground and would float the ground I was in just to see if he was strong enough, then he would drop me down once he impressed his friends. One time he flew me way high up I could even see the buildings then dropped me down cause he couldn't control his powers and so he panicked unknowingly where I have been through then he started crying, meanwhile I was up in the sky and started to have a panic attack. A few moments, suddenly I dropped down then I broke my arm. The first thing I saw was John and the teachers worried about him, while they just stood there and stared at me. There was more ways to torture me but I don't want to talk about it.

*Continuing*
"Yeah I know." I said boring tone.
"Ok then, since you wanna act more superior than me, let's have a fight then!" He shouted for attention for the whole class. "Look John, I don't want to cause no scene." I said, then he pulled out a punch and I easily avoided it since I have observed all his moves. After that he would then try to punch me again in the left arm and I once again avoided it. But then he suddenly ran to touch the ground in my area just to make me float and I luckily avoided it. And I ran to the administrators office immediately since all the teachers were there. Just as I was about to reach the door, he then caught me with his roots and then he hit me on the roof then to the floor and he did it again and again for the next 7 times. I knocked out. And then I was in the hospital immediately sitting up and just as expected, the teachers ignored his wrongdoings and then blamed it all out on me because I was "asking" for it.

I went home and my mom was wondering if I was okay. She cooked me her ordinary soup. It was delicious enough to make me heal. The room was quiet but my mind was never silent. It continued to burn in my mind on how badly he hurt me but other people have it worse, right?

The house was really quiet at this point. I could only hear the faucet leaking, the lights vibrating sound, the carpet smooth footsteps, and the wind in my window. This was really relaxing to be honest, and then I fell asleep.

I woke up in a white surrounding with only a lady having a tea party.
"Oh well, hello there! Welcome! Come sit here." She said in a very lovely tone. I sat down at stared at her. "Who are you?" I procedly asked. "Oh my, oh my! You don't recognize me?" She said in confusion. "Well, I am,
