2025-01-19 06:33:34The students were entering the academy, all in orderly fashion, wearing the same uniform Ally had been wearing that morning, and the same one she had worn the day she and Adrian met.
The group of the three boys who had confronted and stolen Ally's giant's head trophy were nowhere to be seen yet, Adrian remembered them, and thought that maybe the boys had already arrived at the academy and were at this moment showing off their prize to the teacher Ally had mentioned to him that she didn't want to be late for class that day.
Ally looked nervous about approaching to pass attendance along with the woman stationed at the door, an antique notebook hovered in the air beside her, and a feather moved on top of it each time she called out a name of the student who was entering in line order.
“You're nervous, aren't you?”, Adrian noticed.
Although he didn't want to say it, he was. Ally was afraid to enter the academy, to attend class, because on that previous challenge depended on her future at the academy, and she didn't want to leave it, she wanted to become one of the best specialists that could have existed in the history of her world, and to be one, she had to be one of the best students at the academy, and for that, she had to keep striving until she achieved it.
“Don't worry, if we talk to your teacher, and tell him everything that happened, I'm sure he will understand you. He will give you another chance, and you won't have to see this subject a third time,” Adrian offered.
But Ally refused.
“No, let me solve this problem for me, and let fate decide what's best for me. For now, let's go inside, I'll introduce you to Principal Roxanne, although on the outside she looks like a very rough woman, she has a good heart, she is strict, but she has been the only person who has managed to bring our world forward, for that reason she is here. She is the founder of this academy, and you must first pass a test of extraordinary abilities so she can be sure which program you belong to and so you can start studying here,” said Ally, and together with Adrian, they began to approach the line of students who were about to finish entering the academy.
“What if I don't get into the academy?”, Adrian didn't want to be, but he was nervous about not being admitted to the academy, because otherwise, if that didn't happen, who knows what could happen to him.
“Don't be nervous, a moment ago we checked that you do belong in this world. You managed to save your own life when you activated your magic the moment you accidentally fell off your skateboard, now, they will have to train you to learn how to control and use your magic in due time. You will be able to study to be an amazing wizard,” she replied.
Adrian could not believe his ears. Now there was no doubt that he had woken up in the right world, that his life in the other world would have been miserable if he had survived his terminal illness. In this world, it seemed, things would go better.
“Good morning, boys. Ally Johnson, report to Professor Nichols' office, the professor will give you instructions so you can retake for the third and final time this test you failed again. Don't disappoint him, and hurry up, the class won't be long in starting, and you know the professor doesn't like to waste valuable teaching time on other matters.”
“Yes, headmistress. I'll report to him right away,” Ally said with resignation to hear the worst in her meeting with the professor.
In the meantime, there were no more students left outside pending to enter the academy, then, the flying pen stopped taking notes on the flying notebook, and both of them went to the hands of the director when she made a slight snapping of fingers in their direction, that was the call they heeded to return to their owner.
Headmistress Roxanne grabbed her belongings, and her expressionless gaze remained fixed on Adrian. The boy in front of her looked shy, and he felt uncomfortable from her gaze because he wasn't sure he knew what she thought of him at that moment.
“What did you say your name was, boy?” she asked with disinterest.
“Adrian, ma'am,” he replied, trying to hide his shyness.
“What's your last name?” she asked again, her eyes remaining fixed on him.
That had been a good question, but the answer he didn't know.
He remembered nothing about his past life in his other world, he only remembered clearly the painful scene in the hospital before his death, and that his name was Adrian.
“Ma'am... I... The truth is that I don't remember what my last name is. All I know is that my name is Adrian and that I'm 12 years old, that I woke up here after having a bad experience, and that's when I met Ally. She was the one who insisted that I should come today to talk to you and enroll me as one of your students in this new school year,” Adrian confessed.
The director was silent for a few minutes, she was pensive, for Adrian's energy was giving her enough signals to know in which program she should enroll him to start his classes.
“Very well, boy. Come with me, I'll give you a tour of the academy, then I'll give you your class schedule, and your uniform,” The director was speaking as they made their way inside the academy. The doors closed on their own when there was no one else who needed to enter. “Tell me, boy, who do you live with? Who are your family?”
But Adrian was very distracted, looking around in amazement, the academy was a dark place, designed in rocks, and a bit humid, Adrian guessed it was so due to the fact that he kept levitating in the air.
There are very few green areas in every corner of the academy, the ground was mostly hard and slippery stones of which you had to be careful to step on well or else you would end up falling and giving yourself a bad blow.
“Boy...”, the headmistress spoke to him again, trying to get his attention, she understood that he was in awe of the architectural beauty that the academy has been built with, but what she could the least stand was the distraction for when they were talking about such important topics as the family lineage was.
“Excuse me, headmistress. I got a little distracted. The academy is beautiful,” he commented, innocently ignoring the headmistress' questions.
The director sighed, trying to remain calm to control her patience with the new child.
“Child, please, I want you to answer: where do you come from?”, the director insisted with a question that for her was much easier to answer than the others.
Unfortunately, and for Adrian, it was even harder to remember which world he came from.
Upon waking up in this world, Adrian had completely lost his memory in some circumstances of his life.

They strolled through all the halls of the academy, Adrian kept looking in awe at what made it up; students with extraordinary abilities, superb teachers and teaching classes that didn't look at all boring like the ones he once took in his other life for when his terminal illness hadn't been detected yet.Headmistress Roxanne analyzed every step, every glance and every movement of the boy who accompanied her, wondering to herself from which of all the worlds she knew was the one that might have been Adrian's former home.There were different existing magical worlds that were annexed to the earth, for when people died, God decided if he wanted to take their soul to heaven, or if they deserved a chance to reincarnate in one of the other worlds, it all depended on their aura, their mentality, and their personality and heart. These worlds were seven in total, and the director, Roxanne, knew them perfectly well to the letter because both she and her graduate students from the academy, stoo

Adrian looked around him with nerves on edge, gripping every part of his body. Onexus was a place that seemed designed to break anyone who dared to enter it. The undulating walls, the air charged with an energy that could almost be felt, and the constant sensation of being watched made him feel tiny and helpless.Suddenly, the ground trembled beneath his feet.In front of him, the walls began to open, giving way to a gigantic figure emerging from the gloom. It was a colossus of dark stone, with eyes that glowed like burning coals. His step echoed like thunder, and every movement shed fragments of his body, revealing flashes of light at specific points.“The Shadow Colossus!” said Roxanne's voice, echoing through the air. Watch, Adrian. Every enemy has a weak spot. Find it before it finds you, that will be the key to its defeat.The giant advanced, raising a huge arm that slammed into the ground, sending a shockwave that threw Adrian backwards. He struggled to his feet, his hands wer

Headmistress Roxanne and Adrian leave the academy's management office, and as they walk towards what would be Adrian's new temporary home, the boy couldn't help but look towards the classrooms where he could see that, in some classes, the injuries of the day were great; in one of them, they were learning the art of dark herbology, they were taking out a frog's heart without using surgical elements, yes, that would look disgusting to anyone's eyes, even disgusting, maybe someone was already vomiting from not being able to stand it, but in the classroom, there was no one vomiting.All the boys were concentrating on how they would manage to rip out the frog's heart without it daring to bite their fingers. Not even the girls were showing any signs of wanting to run out of the room, they all wanted to earn the points the teacher would give them for meeting the challenge.In another classroom, they were learning the art of tarot card reading. It was a less interesting class than the previou

“What? You're kidding, right? What do you mean you're not magical? What do you mean you don't have powers? Who told you that vile lie?”, Ally caught her breath after coughing for a moment as she nearly choked. Adrian didn't seem surprised by her friend's reaction. He set the sandwich down on the half-finished tray, tossed the tray to the side of the bed and stood up, began to walk in circles for the short space he had to do so. Her gaze was lost on the floor.“Ally, did you know that the academy does an entrance test for students to define in which academic program they will be enrolled?”, he asked the girl with interest to know that what she experienced was not some kind of trap on the part of the director Roxanne, he wanted to know if that had been true. Ally nodded. “Yes, I knew that. I forgot to mention it, sorry. We've all been through that test, I nearly failed, I was sent to fight a horde of flying angry piranhas from another world. Yes, it may sound stupid, but with that t

The battlefield was similar to that Adrián had entered when the director Roxanne told her that she should do to enter the academy as evidence.But this field was different, now, the sky was black, there was no space where a single flash of light could enter. Around it, the students had all organized themselves sitting on stone benches that appeared magically at the same time as the battlefield.Under his feet, kilometers of sand extended.A battle has begun.The teachers joined the students to be spectators.Adrián looked around, looking for Ally everywhere, until, finally, he found her sitting in the front row from the highest point of the steps. Adrián calmed down to see her, because in the midst of so many people, it was impossible to stay calmly and surely what he was doing. Adrián came from a world in which magic did not exist, and now, he had reincarnated in soul in a world where magic was real, and the survival pillar is the fight.On the other hand, Adrián also saw Ryan's two

Thus, Adrián did not wait any longer, and with all his might, his body emanated an intense crimson red power, Adrián's power raised a powerful winding wind made mixed with sand that quickly went against Ryan. Ryan was not prepared, and Adrián's power managed to defeat him. Ryan flew through the air, losing himself in front of the eyes of the battle -attendees. Ally looked at Adrián with pride, and as he knew that the battle is over, it was the first to run towards him to hug him. Adrián did not expect to receive that hug, but received it with pleasure. All the students, being excited by the incredible battle they have just seen, rushed to approach Adrián for their achievement, all except Ryan's friends who stood up, and looked towards the direction where their best friend became He had disappeared in the air. The director Roxanne proudly looked at Adrián, and soon, she disappeared, and when everyone but imagined, the academy returned to normal, the battlefield had vanished by mag
Adrian's Awakening: Wake up in the magical world 11
Adrián left the director of the director Roxanne with a lot of papers he signed and that he promised himself that he would read as soon as he came home. Home. It was a word that, at this time and after having been admitted to the hospital of his last life for a long time waiting for death to take him, he was not yet updated in his vocabulary. But Adrian infinitely appreciated that director Roxanne has behaved very good with him and that he has now decided to give him a home without even having known him. Upon leaving his office, Adrián met several of his new classmates, going out with his backs loaded on his back. The vast majority greeted him, some girls smiled to see him. Being the new sensation was incredible, because before, it was just a marginalized. Quickly, he met Ally.“Hello, Ally. Look, I already have everything I need for my first day of class, I am already a student of the Academy”, he said when he approached to greet the girl, who at that time had been distracted
Adrian's Awakening: Wake up in the magical world 12
Adrián stopped in front of the mansion, carefully observing the structure. It was an old, but well-preserved building, with dark stone walls and stained-glass that reflected the dim light of the moon. Despite his imposing appearance, he did not seem an abandoned place. On the contrary, it gave the feeling that someone, or something, expected it.He breathed deeply and firmly sustained the bewitched key. As soon as he took a step towards the main door, the huge crunchy wood gate opened with a prolonged sound. The interior was illuminated by floating candlesticks that projected fanciful shadows on the walls adorned with ancient tapestries.Adrián crossed the threshold and, at the same moment he did it, the door closed behind him with a dry blow. His heart accelerated by the shock, but soon calmed down when he noticed that the atmosphere of the place was not threatening. It was as if the house was evaluating it, recognizing it as its new resident.He advanced cautiously through the wide

Adrián was stunned. I couldn't believe what I saw. Since when did the world I knew become this?Before it was different, now, everything was chaos. It seemed that there would be no remedy to use to save it. Perhaps…?Was everything being the work of an alliance among its most powerful enemies?An alliance between the woman with silver hair and purple eyes, along with the monk who had felt betrayed by him, and who now wanted to take revenge on what he most preceded?Indeed, Adrián was realizing his mistakes. Those assumptions had no failures in their logic. They can be real. Adrián had betrayed two powerful beings who were now being very powerful, and were attacking him where he hurt the most, in his ancient world. Definitely, this was not the battle of the specialist students of the Darkside Specialist Academy. This was the battle of Adrián Evans, a boy who previously lived a normal life, but because of a terminal disease, ended up dying and his reincarnate soul in a new world

On the other hand, Adrián looked around, wondering where he had been transported thanks to that mysterious portal that came out of nowhere, and that was how he deduced, everything around him, he seemed too much to the last thing he remembered from the earth.Immediately, the portal disappeared, it was magically, but for Adrián, living those experiences were no longer new, because he was already accustomed to them, in fact, and since he reached his world, Adrián lived much more strange and amazing things than he ever imagined in his past life that would be real."All this...", Adrián murmured as he looked around, analyzing everything he saw, because the memories, immediately, had appeared in his head. "I seem a lot to me...""Land?", Listen to Adrián that, mysteriously, someone speaks to him.That voice seemed to be that of a girl, a small girl, at least about 11 years old, and then, when Adrián looked for her to know where they were talking about, she found that the girl approached wa

Adrián ran until he could hide inside the forest. He had left the academy, his body flew with the flying skate that he had always used to climb to school that was so high in the air.The forest...That place was your favorite place to think. He needed to think a lot. Lately, too many things have happened in their lives, their most loved beings have been hurt because of their fault. Adrián could not afford to continue hurting them. If nobody wanted to help him with a mission as important as it was to save the world in which he was born first and that he had enjoyed him, a good life, where he had received all the love of the world, Adrián if he cared to save him, and he would do it not only for him, but also would do it for Lucas, the boy who had died to reincarnate and come to this world to ask for help and recover his family and his life before.Adrián turned and turned in the forest, kicked the trunks of the trees to take off his rage of the moment, without measuring the conseque

Hours spent, everyone was gathered at the Colosseum of the Darkside Specialists Academy. Students, parents, teachers, Roxanne, being the director, and her trusted teacher, Professor Nichols, were there.With them, Adrián was also, and by his side, he remained the boy who came from his world, from which he had come to ask for help in this new world to recover his life that he liked to live so much and not have to resign himself to die and live a new life without knowing what he could have done something to rescue what would remain of his world.Adrián's plan was accepted by all, and it was that the specialists were divided into groups of five people, there were many and the world of Adrián, above all, the main city where chaos was becoming much larger and heavier, they would need the support of all, and control, discipline and disobedience were the key points to be treated at that meeting, because no one could go as well as and on top of the giants without being unharmed Even, dead.Th

Soon, the wait ended. Professor Nichols had brought Adrián back home, and to Adrián's surprise, his peace, his tranquility, he was not returning, on the contrary, things would begin to get more ugly for everyone from the moment Adrián had no choice but to accept his new challenge. Roxanne did not want this to happen, she was nervous about it, she did not want to lose her worshiped son, not since the last time what almost changed it suddenly happened. The worlds are so unpredictable, magic was a world so great that it was never known what fate could get in your way if it was not careful.Adrián's mother had a lot of terror of knowing what could happen in the event that Adrián returned to his world after so long, after having reincarnated in another life where he was not the same, where he had awakened new powers to know how to live here with those who were now his new family despite having some closer than others.Adrián met the boy, immediately recognized him as a reincarnated soul,

"I think the best thing we can do is look for Adrián, the boy can feel safer if he speaks directly with him. Don't you think?", Professor Nichols offered. Roxanne nodded, agreeing with him. "Do you know where Ally's house""Yes of course. His father is a great friend of mine, from time to time I am going to visit him there to take a drink while we talk about our affairs. So, I'm going to look for him, stay with the boy. I promise not to take".Professor Nichols left, leaving Roxanne and the boy alone. "Do you want to keep talking about what happens in your human world?"The boy looked at the woman with insecurity."Do you want to give me more ice cream first? It is delicious. He died of hunger".Roxanne looked at the boy with regret and decided to offer him something better so he could be calm. "Don't you prefer to prepare a sandwich? With that you will be more satisfied than with ice cream..."The boy smiled from ear to ear, and his eyes illuminated."Come, accompany me to the ki

That afternoon ended up being perfect for everyone. Roxanne never imagined that spending quality time with Nichols would be just what he would need to recover. Professor Nichols knew her very well, and knew how to be entertained for her, making her laugh, telling her good stories, and spending quality time with her. That night, Nichols thanked Roxanne for the invitation to dinner, assuring him that the boy's dinner had been delicious. In addition to that, he had also enjoyed a delicious coffee by his side. With those compliments, Roxanne felt very happy, since before, no one had taken the daring to be direct with her, many people who knew her, used to give her respect, treat her only for the most important and professional issues. Until now, no one else had thought about approaching her, as much as Nichols had achieved it.That night, Roxanne had planned to go to a bath, wanted to relax to sleep, but he could not do it since he heard the desperate screams of a person who didn't eve

The aroma of homemade food began to fill the house, wrapping the atmosphere with a warm and familiar air. From the kitchen the voices of Adrián and Ally were heard discussing the exact amount of condiments they had to use, while from time to time they ranged and the occasional mocking comment. And when they were silent, it was because both teenagers were kissing, and they did nothing to hide it.In the room, silence became comfortable. Roxanne closed her eyes for a moment, enjoying the feeling of not having to be alert, not to be thinking about strategies, training or problems of the academy, as well as having to be going through that moment when I would know that she needed to use her Magic to save those who needed it. Nichols, meanwhile, watched her with dissimulation. It was rare to see her like this, so relaxed, so human, not always fighting the unknown and the enemies, or taking control of what would happen to the academy."What do you look?", She murmured without opening her eye
55
"Of course, teacher, accompanies us? I'm going to prepare dinner, and he is invited", Adrian replied, looking at the teacher with an accomplice look to prevent her from going to reject her proposal and that she could spend more time next to her mother outside the academy. He tried, but the professor blushed, and only nodded without saying anything, behaving like a small boy who was afraid to spend time next to the girl he liked.Adrián smiled and looked at Ally."You come? After dinner, I accompany you to your home so you can rest calmly", said Adrián.She nodded."Yes, I would not like any more problems with my parents, if I decide to stay one more night with you in your home", she replied.Adrián nodded. "I agree, I don't want more problems than I already have with them". Then, Adrián helped Ally getting off the stretcher, he took her delicately from the hip, and charged her as if she were a baby until she left her on the floor. For her part, Professor Nichols looked at Roxanne,
