ALL MY WIVES ARE BEAUTIFUL ELVES

Chapter 26: The Awakening

Kan remained on bed wondering what his mother meant by school. He thought for sure of all the wonders the new world had, the nonexistence of school would be one of them but he was wrong.

It had been a long day and he felt tired and needed to sleep. But his mind was a maze of convoluted thoughts. There were still a number of things that confused him and he really did not have answers to. For one, the incident with the man who could fly and had strenghts and speed that could only be found in the movies or anime was still a shock to him.

"I saw something for a brief moment after he left...like a screen of some sort. But it kind of just disappeared. He must have knocked a few screws out of my head, I suppose," Kan mocked himself before laying down to rest.

The next day, as promised, Becca came to wake Kan up in the morning and amongst the contrasting changes he was expecting, one of them would be that school would hold at noon and would only last no more than he could handle.

But as it turned out, the whole school thing seemed to be the only constant in all the variations he noticed about this world and his former. Becca and kan left the house and in no time had dropped down from a taxi before walking a little along the commercial districts of the city. This was where all the hustling took place.

"We are here!!" Becca said as she seemed to be excited.

Kan looked up at a big holographic signboard and the words there said..." Ebony High Magic school" ...Kan read aloud and this was mistaken by Becca to be excitement on her son's part.

Through out the trip, Kan hadn't said much to her because of what happened the previous day. Now they were at school. He thought for sure that his mother couldn't get any worse but here they were.

The school stood proudly at beside a wildlife sanctuary, where the enchanting and the mundane worlds met. Its exterior was a marvelous fusion of natural beauty and advanced architecture.

The building's fa?ade blended seamlessly with the surrounding woods, adorned with living vines that snaked their way up the walls, as if celebrating the harmony of magic and nature.

Tall, shimmering glass windows showcased the splendor within, reflecting the sunlight in mesmerizing patterns. An intricate wrought iron gate marked the entrance, engraved with intricate symbols representing unity and diversity. The gate opened to a wide cobblestone pathway, lined with ancient oak trees, their sprawling branches creating a canopy overhead.

A sense of wonder filled the air as students walked through the gate, guided by the aura of enchantment that surrounded the school. The magic of the school seemed to weave itself into every aspect of the landscape, making the very air crackle with energy.

As Kan stepped inside with Becca, the interior of the school revealed a grand atrium that served as the heart of the institution. A massive crystal chandelier hung from the soaring ceiling, casting ethereal patterns of light across the polished marble floor. The walls were adorned with intricate tapestries, depicting the history of magic and the harmonious coexistence of Elves and Humans.

Off the atrium, a network of hallways branched out, leading to various wings and classrooms. Each hallway was a marvel of design, adorned with floating orbs of light that illuminated the way, following the movement of the students like benevolent fireflies.

The classrooms themselves were state-of-the-art, equipped with advanced magical tools and technology. Holographic screens projected lessons and interactive demonstrations, fostering a dynamic learning environment. Enchanted blackboards allowed students to practice spellcasting and intricate diagrams appeared with the wave of a hand.

The school hallway bustled with life as Elves and Humans mingled, their uniforms in various shades of white and blue creating a vibrant tapestry. Kan's unease was palpable as he walked alongside his mother, Becca, who tried to lighten the mood with small talk, but he remained distant, lost in his thoughts.

"Fuck, look at all these girls. I'm their age now so it should be proper, right?" Kan thought. He was so engrossed in the beauty of the female students that passed him by that he barely paid attention to what his mother was saying.

Becca signed Kan up and bid him farewell, leaving him feeling like a lone leaf in a storm. The mixed school was a new and daunting environment for him, surrounded by beings with magical prowess, something he lacked.

According to the handbook that was handed to him before Becca left, he was to begin at the lowest class, the awakening class. Kan has no idea what that meant but using the handbook which in itself was a tablet device, he navigated his way to the class.

Inside the Awakening class, Miss Katherine, a tall and poised teacher with blonde hair and a checkered skirt, greeted Kan warmly. "Welcome, Kan! Let's test your magical abilities," she said, guiding him towards a bulb.

"Place your hand on the bulb and if it lights up, it means you have magic!" Miss Katherine instructed.

Kan placed his hand on the bulb with excitement. He had seen his mother doing magic but not much had he seen from his father, yet, Kan was optimistic.

"I'm sorry, Kan, it appears you don't have any magical aptitude," Miss Lorraine said sympathetically.

The magic censor bulb that Kan was asked to touch was an essential part of the Awakening class. It served as a magical detector, capable of sensing even the faintest trace of magical ability within a student. When a student placed their hand on the bulb, it would glow and emit a soft ethereal light if they possessed magical potential.

In Kan's case, the bulb remained dim, indicating the absence of magical aptitude. For those who discovered their magical abilities through the bulb's response, it was a moment of triumph and celebration. But for Kan, it became a source of disappointment and vulnerability, as he was met with the jeers of his classmates who considered him an outsider in a world of magic.

The magic censor bulb also served as a tool to identify students with latent magical potential, encouraging them to embrace their gifts and enroll in more advanced magical courses. However, it wasn't a measure of a student's worth or character, as Miss Lorraine tried to emphasize during the class.

The students around him couldn't resist taunting, laughter echoing through the classroom. "What's an Elf doing here without magic? You're just wasting our time," one boy sneered.

Kan's face flushed with embarrassment, and he clenched his fists, trying to hold back the biting response that formed in his mind. But he held his silence, unwilling to fuel their mockery.

During lunchtime in the cafeteria, Kan sat alone at a corner table, feeling like an outsider amidst the animated conversations. The students at a nearby table began whispering and throwing glances in his direction.

"Look at him, he's like a lost puppy," a girl snickered, her friends joining in on the laughter.

Kan tried to ignore them, but their words cut deep. He didn't belong here, and he knew it.

After school, as Kan made his way home, a group of Elf boys confronted him just outside the school gates. Their pointed ears and smirks made it clear they were the magical elite, while Kan was an outsider. He knew how this went because he had witnessed it so many times before.

People walked by like they saw nothing. Determined to not get involved in the whole squabble between Kan and the bullies.

"What's a magic-less Elf doing in our school?" one of the boys taunted, shoving Kan against the wall.

"I guess some things never change, even if you die and you are reborn," Kan muttered silently to himself.

"What did you say?" One of the elf boys demanded to know. Kan cast a stare at him and gave no answer. Straight away, he was grabbed by the collar and the boy's fist started glowing a certain purple colour.

"Do you know what kind of magic I have?" The boy asked Kan.

Kan's heart pounded, and anger surged within him, but he swallowed his retorts, determined not to give them the satisfaction.

"katastria!!" The boy spelled out and his fist lit up into a purple flames

Before the situation escalated further, a girl walked into the scene.The girl's name was Ellie and she appeared like a guardian angel, her long black hair cascading down her back as she intervened. "Leave him alone," she commanded with unwavering authority.

The boys turned their attention to Ellie, clearly taken aback by her defiance. "And what are you going to do about it?" one of them sneered.

"I won't let you bully someone just because they're different. If you don't leave him this minute, Jack, Cody and Steven, I'll personal report to the head teacher. You all know you are already on probation from the last bathroom incident, don't test me!!" Ellie stated firmly, her eyes locking onto theirs without a hint of fear.

The boys grumbled, momentarily considering their next move, before reluctantly walking away, leaving Kan and Ellie standing there alone.

"Thanks," Kan murmured, appreciating her bravery.

Ellie offered a warm smile. "No problem. They're just a bunch of jerks." She said.

"What's your name?" Ellie asked.

"Shit ..what the hell is this?" Kan answered.

"I'm sorry, did I do something wrong?" Ellie asked completely shocked by the sudden turn.

"No...no..it's not...what the hell, get away from my face!!" Kan waved his hand in anger.

"Okay..okay...fine...I'll.leave," Ellie said, feeling a bit disappointed and confused as to why her good was repaid with embarrassment.

"What is this on my face??!!" Kan kept waving his hand in the air like a mad man.

Meanwhile, what she was unaware of was the fact that Kan wasn't talking to her all along. A strange screen was in his view and this made him feel very uncomfortable, especially what the screen said.
