Chapter 8 – The Brothers
Elgin’s POV
The try-out for Elemental Sport has already begun. different spells need to be used to survive your team, it has 5 members including the leader, in this game you can test how fast you can think of the spell that the opponent will release you, if you are in a frozen place you need of fire spells to survive and to enter the next door to the next challenge, the Ice Attuned is strong when in an icy place so you need to have a Fire Attuned companion with you or you should have known a Fire spell even if you are not a Fire Attuned against Ice Attuned and survive in the icy area.
And you have to get all the ribbons hidden in every place you can get in the same arena in 1 hour.
Whichever team gets the most ribbons, is the winner.
“Elgin! Let’s go here, let’s all take a break first!” My older brother Jax ordered us and we immediately obeyed.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yes, Captain!”
My older brother Jax is the captain of our team Vicious, since childhood my older brother Jax and I have been playing Elemental Sport. Because it is a cool doing these sports.
“Elgin, who was the woman with you earlier?” I turned to Calux and raised an eyebrow at him.
“Why?” I asked.
“She’s not a student here, is she?” he asked again.
“She’s just a newbie here like we are.” my answer.
“Oh? Why does she seem so scared and wondering when she get here?” he asked again.
“You know Calux you have too many questions.” I left and followed my older brother.
Calux Zephyr, is an arrogant and annoying man.
Many students are angry with him for what he is doing. He was very proud, he thought he was a perfect person.
“Hey, Lil bro, what are you so grumpy about? Do you have an enemy again?” my brother asked.
“No brother, can I just practice tomorrow? I still have work to do.” I said without emotion.
“Yeah sure, we’ll see you later in the dorm.” said the older brother and patted me on the shoulder.
“Thanks, bro.” I said and got up to leave the gymnasium.
I called Shreya to ask where they were and then I followed.
I lost my mood, Calux is really the annoying person in the whole world, Grr! erase! erase! Let’s forget that …
“El! Yoohoo! We’re here!” Shreya called me when I arrived at Lizette’s store.
“Yow El, What’s with the grumpy face?” Ember asked.
“Ahh, nothing hahaha.” I said with a forced laugh.
“Sis, you are already here.” smiling Lizette said.
“Hahaha sorry, Dad made me do so much.” Ember replied and looked at Ashleigh. “Who is she?” she asked.
“She’s Ashleigh dear sister, just a new student here at Magica Academy.” Lizette explained.
Ashleigh would have spoken but she did not continue.
“Nice to meet you, Ash. I’m Ember Gray… I’m glad to meet you.” smiling Ember said and held out her right hand to shake hands.
“N-Nice to meet you too.” stuttered said of Ashleigh.
“Easy girl, I won’t bite you hahaha don’t be afraid of me.” mischievous Ember said.
“Sorry Ash, My sister really likes to tease all the newcomers to the Academy.” Lizette said and scolded her sister.
“Sorry, sorry hahaha!” almost tearfully said Ember.
Ashleigh smiled and looked at me.
“I haven’t had a chance to thank you earlier, Thank you Elgin.” he says.
“No prob, so what? did they answer your questions?” I will ask.
“The first one, I still have a lot of f questions, how can I get back into my world? I’m afraid, my family is already looking for me.” the sadness of what Ashleigh says is obvious.
“I’m sorry Ash, we also don’t know-how. We only get back to our palaces during school vacation or school break… we also don’t know how to make a portal because we haven’t been taught it yet.” said Stheno.
“We in the Council are being taught but we have not mastered the spells yet.” Ember said seriously.
“Council? Is it Student Council?” Ashleigh asked again.
“The Council here in our Academy is not like that, the Council is the 2nd authority in this school, the requests of the students come before us before we send it to the top, and we are also the first to be taught by the difficult spells. ” Ember explained.
“I see…” Ashleigh sighed and smiled forcefully.
“So, how much is it all Liz?” Stheno asked and showed the items they got.
“It’s free, don’t worry…” Lizette said smiling.
“Thank you, Liz… we’re leaving now… Let’s just meet at the Academy.” said Stheno.
“Be careful.” at the same time Lizette and Ember said while waving.
We all went out, I took Stheno the things they gave Lizette.
“I still don’t understand, why did the mirror drag me here.”
“That’s the reason why I got energy marbles from Lizette to use that. When you trigger that… it means you have powers within you.” Stheno explained.
“And what if it doesn’t work? Will I be imprisoned?” Ashleigh asked seriously
“We will take you to Principal Alastor so he can talk to you.” Stheno said.
Ashleigh just bowed as we walked, Shreya suddenly stopped and stopped Ashleigh from walking.
“Aren’t you surprised? Why is Ashleigh’s name on Ms. Aislinn’s computer list?” Shreya said as she held Ashleigh.
What? her name is on the list?
“What did you say? Ashleigh’s name is on the list?” I asked.
“Yes Elgin, when Ashleigh said her name to Ms. Aislinn, her name was there. As in her full name!” Shreya answered me seriously.
“Yes, I just noticed now.” Stheno said almost shocked.
“AHHH! I just want to go home! I don’t want to be here anymore!” annoyed Ashleigh said and ran away.
“Wait, Ash!” I would have chased Ashleigh when Stheno stopped me.
“Let her be Elgin, she needs to have some time alone. To think, let’s just wait for her in the dorm.” Stheno said seriously and walked away.
I just sighed and Shreya just followed them.
‘I hope Ashleigh is okay.’
Ashleigh’s POV
I just kept running until I could stop on a bench and there my tears started to flow.
I just want to go home, I miss my family… I’m sure they are looking for me. I just felt the heavy rain suddenly fall.
‘I don’t want to be here anymore … I want to go home.’
I just noticed that no water was dripping on me so I looked up, and there I saw a tall man with an umbrella facing me so that I would not get wet by the rain.
“Why are you here? It’s raining. Let’s take you to your dorm.” he said and offer me.
I just quietly followed him, while walking I noticed that he did not speak like that, but I also did not want to talk so he might think I was feeling close.
“By the way, I am Cadmus, Prince Cadmus Jax of Aeris.” he said like an angel from above.
I just noticed now. The people here are almost royalty. so is this man.
“You?”
I turned to him and immediately averted my eyes.
“I’m… Ashleigh.”
He seems to have a resemblance but … I can’t say who, We have reached our dorm, Cadmus immediately knocked and Elgin immediately opened us.
“Big bro! Ash!” shocked Elgin said.
“WAAAH! Ash!” Shreya almost burst into tears to see me.
I just looked down as she hugged me.
“Do you know? You made us worried about you! We thought you were lost.” said Shreya as she hugged me.
“I saw her sitting on the bench near the gymnasium.” Cadmus explained.
“Thank you and you take her safely brother.” said Elgin and Elgin immediately hugged Cadmus.
‘Just as I thought, so I thought Cadmus has a resemblance but I didn’t think it was Elgin hmm, they are brothers huh? well, I didn’t see that coming.’
“It’s good that you’re back Ashleigh, come here” Stheno called to me and I immediately obeyed.
I approached her and there I saw the energy marbles lying on the table.
“Take this red marble, try to touch it, and just focus on it” she explained.
I did what she ordered and there I gradually felt its heat and suddenly it—
“AHHHHHH! ‘
