Your first day

Next thing you know the sun is beaming through the window and your alarm is screaming at you to wake up.

That bed is awesome.

“Yeah, that's the best nights sleep I have ever had. I think.” You ponder

That's the only night's sleep we even remember.

“That too.”

We guess we should try and find people. Or at least where to go.

“There should be some kind of map or something next to your bed, it took us 10 minutes to get here from the infirmary, christ knows how big this place is, where's a guide when you need on-”

BANG BANG BANG BANG

“Wake up first year! It's time to go!” a harsh voice shouts through the door.

Guess there's our guide.

Opening the door to the noise you are pulled out before you can react.

“You're late first year, most of the newbies have already finished.” She states pulling you by your arm.

“Finished what?” you ask

“Ugh, this is why I hate getting this job. None of you know anything. Look, all first years have to go through a test, to put it so a moron can understand, it shows you how strong your magic is as a number. A normal will score below 5, between 5-50 is a respectable score for a newbie first year for you, so I wouldn't worry about it.” she explains.

“So what do I have to do?”

“You put your hand on this stone thing and your number appears above it, it's super easy”.

“Ok then... How do I know if I get a good score?”

“Look, newbie, most first years like you score about 20, anything over that you're golden. Rarely will any first year score over 25. Except for Ashcroft...”

“Ashcroft?”

“You know, Laura Ashcroft... From the Ashcroft family? Don't you know anything?”

“Lady, I don't even know my own name, I don't remember anything from more than two days ago, so no, I don't know who the hell this ash-whatever person is”

“Ashcroft! The Ashcroft's are from a long line of great sages, they have ridiculously high magic potential. The current great sage is from the Ashcroft family and he can score 140 on his magic aptitude test. But this Laura, she's supposed to be something special, a prodigy” she explains

Sounds dumb.

“Quiet, we're here. And just in time, That is Laura Ashcroft” she points to the girl approaching the stone.

The girl must be about 5'5 tall, very slender, the basic uniform of a black and blue dress with the logo on it also, long silver hair down to her back.

As she touches the stone a number appears above her.

'85'

The entire room bursts into muttering

“Holy... 85? That's unheard of for a first year”. The girl who was dragging you says

We should ask her name, we can't keep calling her 'that girl'.

“Nobody has ever scored that high on their first try, she really is a prodigy” she claims

“I uh, guess that's good then?”

“Good?! Good doesn't even begin to describe it”.

“Ok then... So what now?”

“Looks like you're up kid, good luck following that show..” She sounds almost like she pities you.

Walking up to the front eyes turn towards you and you can hear muttering.

“What is that? Looks weird”

“Who is the freak?”

Fucking humans...

“Why did you say that?”

Say what?

“... Nevermind” you sigh.

As you get up to the podium you are welcomed by the great sage.

“Ah, welcome my boy!” he exclaims.

Happy as ever I see...

“Now then, all you have to do is touch the stone, and concentrate”. He explains. “Go on boy.”

You walk towards the stone and look out towards the room full of voices.

Nobody cares we are here! Nobody even wants to care! Nobody wants to give us a chance!

“Calm down..” you mutter to yourself

No! I'm sick of these fucking humans and their bullshit! It's always the same!

“What do you mean?” you ask yourself

“Just get on with it already, dumb ass!” a shout from the room.

You know what? Fuck this. We'll give them something to talk about.

Your eyes start to seethe red.

“What's going on?” you ask yourself

Your skin starts to tingle.

Grab the stone.

“What? Why?”

DO IT!

You take hold of the stone and begin to concentrate.

Witness this you filthy fucking humans!

Crack!

The stone shatters and crumbles.

A number appears above your head...

'6492'
