Chapter 7

It was 6:00 A.M. Lance woke up as if he got a nightmare. His face was in shock, so he covered his face with his hands relieved that it was just a dream. He saw the clock and noticed that it was still early.

It's still six o'clock, he thought. Might as well prepare for school.

He got out from bed and got dressed in his uniform. After getting dressed, he went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. While brushing his teeth, he noticed his hair color changed. It turned into brown with some strands of white hair. He stopped brushing and looked in the mirror.

At first, he didn't believe what he saw. Then, he garggled with water and washed his face. He started realizing that it wasn't a dream but rather reality.

He quickly grabbed his bag and ran to the stairs. While running down, he saw his dad sitting on the couch while reading the newspaper and having a cup of coffee. His dad saw him and was so surprised to see that Lance was up so early.
"You're up early," said his dad while taking a sip from his cup of coffee.
"Yeah, I know," he said as he went to his dad on the couch. "Dad, is there anything that you noticed in me?"
"No, why?"
"No?" said Lance as he was panicking. "Can't you see? It's brown... And, look. There is a bundle of hair that is white," he said as he got strands of his white hair.
"Why? What's wrong?"
"It's not my usual hair color. It's usually black...like yours." said Lance. As if he'd already lost in mind.
"Lance, what are you talking about? Your hair has always been like that ever since." said his dad trying to calm him.
"You may not notice it, but maybe the people in school will." Then, Lance stepped out of the house.
"Wait, aren't going to-" his dad couldn't finish what he was trying to say because Lance already shut the door. "-eat breakfast?"

Lance was walking to school thinking about his dream last night. He took a look at his necklace.

"Hey!" a girl called from behind.
Lance looked back and saw a girl running towards him. She had a gold shuriken hair pin on her haid.
"Hey, wait up!" the girl shouted.
Lance stopped walking and waited for girl to catch up.
"Oh, have we met?" he asked looking at the girl.
"No. But, let me introduce myself," said the girl with exhaustion. "I am Shelly Sorecity."
Then he thought of the surname.
"Oh, you must be the daughter of Lenny. Am I right?" said Lance.
"That's right," she said with a thumbs up. "And you are Lance Garen! My dad told me everything about you."
He was surprised that she knew his name. He started to think twice about her.
"How did you know I'm the right person?" he asked. Acting suspicious.
"Your hair," she simply said. "Come to think of it...your hair is cool."
"I think it's weird."
"No, it's not."
"Okay." There was silence as they walked to school. They felt awkward at first. Then, something broke the silence.
"So, you must be good in ninja magic. Like your dad," said Lance breaking the silence.
"I guess... But, I am more of sneaky magic. I can assassinate people without them knowing," said Shelly.
"She is clumsy at times," said a voice from nowhere.
Lance was startled hearing the mysterious voice.
"What was that?" he asked.
"Oh, I'd almost forgot," she said as they stopped walking for a moment. "This is Vivian, the brains of assassination," She said as she bowed her haid.
"The hair pin?"
"Yes, you incompetent fool," said Vivian.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't expect that a hair pin could talk," said Lance.
"Apology accepted," said Vivian with a straight voice.
"So, Lance, what are you good at? I heard that your dad is a very skilled magician that specializes in combustion and incineration," expected Shelly as they continued walking.
"That's what my dad is good at. While me, I still don't know what I'm good at," he said with a weird feeling.
"Oh, well you'll find out soon. And, we're already here," said Shelly as they have already reached school.

So, the classes were arranged repectively: Diamond, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Amethyst, Topaz, and Onyx. The Diamond class is the class consisting of the strongest sorcerers and magicians. On the other hand, the last class, which is the Onyx class, holds the inferior sorcerers and magicians.
