Gifted Academy

Gifted Academy. The name alone conjured images of impossible feats and extraordinary talents. It was a school for prodigies, for those whose abilities transcended the ordinary. Music, sports, the arts, even specialized combat training-they honed every conceivable skill to a razor-sharp edge. But Gifted Academy was also known for something else: magic. They nurtured and refined magical abilities, from the smallest spark of telekinesis to the grandest displays of elemental control. The selection process was notoriously brutal. Even those accepted could be expelled if their "gift" didn't measure up. It had to be exceptional, powerful, almost otherworldly.

And somehow, I had met their standards.
