The classes became really rigorous, we were pushed to the extremes. It seemed like the fun time was over, every face held the fatigue as they walked into the dining hall. Most of them worked hard since they were afraid of what the task might be. Some worked knowing the unknown but hard work seemed inevitable.
The battle round pairs were already listed on the notice board. Each of them were paired up with unknown people so that their gift would be totally surprising and the fight would be real. Jesse was paired up with someone from third year, his fear for him made it easy for Jesse. That was the most funny fight tha they had ever seen. He was cowering most of the time before he even did something.
The twins were not only best fighters but had skills enough to even win over trackers. Helen was paired up with a tracker whose gift was speed. He escaped using his gift most of the time. When Helen finally got the hang of what he was doing, she used her gift to hide herself in the dark and attack him. The combats had no rules and that was the fun part of it.
Rose was different case after all, she wasn’t paired up with anyone. When Rose saw the list, she went over the list twice but couldn’t find her name. She went to Shadow to demand him why her name was not on the list.
“It wouldn’t be wise to let you in situations like that…” He said cooly.
Rose had no words for that, she was angry that she didn’t get a chance to participate. Jesse pacified her saying that it was for her good only.
“Rose…Harry wants to see you in his room.” Sam hollered in the hallway as Rose headed to the dorms.
Rose strolled across the corridor wondering why Harry requested her audience. She knocked once and then entered, she was still not sure how to enter into Harry’s room.
“Mr. Harry…”
“Ah! Rose…You’re here.” Harry smiled.
“It was my doing, I requested Shadow to not put your name in the list. I didn’t want people to know about your gift yet… But I have something to ask of you. You must be trained…secretly. Every night Shadow will be training you in the training room.”
Rose grimaced at the thought of being alone with Shadow.
“Why can’t I train with Jesse?” she asked tentatively.
Harry laughed at that. He understood that Shadow was affecting her in ways that she didn’t like but this training is required and he had other plans for Jesse.
Rose nodded still not excited about the idea. She turned to leave worried about spending time with Shadow. She need to talk to Jesse about it.
“One more thing… you will be shifting to the Leads dorms. Jesse will be helping you with your magical abilities.”
She couldn’t be shifting dorms…she didn’t want to part with Helen but the idea of being close to Jesse was tempting what was she going to do?
“We’ll be telling that your magical being right from the start but confused it with gifted. Under any circumstances your not supposed to say that your both gifted and magical being. Your gift will stay hidden until I say not…” Harry said in a serious tone.
Rose didn’t like what Harry asked her to do, First thing he asked to train with Shadow, second she had to shift to leads dorm and third she has to keep secrets. How could she ask her to do such things.
“I’m sorry…” Harry said genuinely.
Rose told her friends what Harry said. Helen was at the verge of tears, She didn’t like Rose moving out but nonetheless she packed her bag. All her other things were already moved out. The twins grumbled knowing she was moving close to Jesse.
