Chapter 5 - Chapter 4: Dark Humor

"You must be the famous singer of the rumor, right?". Maria questioned Kayden with a trekking attitude.

"Yes I am. I am also one of the best healers in this academy too." - Kayden replied confidently.

"Good, that's what I want to know about". Maria brought out her hand. "Hello Kayden, My name is Maria. The daughter of the Lenormand family."

"Nice to meet you lady Maria".

Kayden held her hands and shook gently as a form of gentle greetings. 

Suddenly, an unknown girl appears in front of everyone. She has fluffy black hair and she wears a casual outfit just like city girls back in the 2020s. 

"This must be the most unlucky day of my life". Maria spoke. Even Esserine can hear the dead-inside scream in Maria's heart.

"Why are you here??!!!" - The rustic girl was frightened. Unfortunately, she was the one that spilled the smoothie cup on Maria.

"This must be the joke of God". She thought to herself.

"Oh she's a student of our Prestige class too", Kayden playfully introduced. When he's in a good mood, you usually see watery fishes flying around him while he's talking. Sometimes, even a blurring rainbow.

Seeing a violet gem in the unknown girl's hand. Dr. Burggraf knows right away that she must have passed the test. 

"Welcome to my class, I'm your professor. What's your name, little girl?". Dr. Burggraf cleared out the awkward scene. 

"I-", the girl hesitated for a second looking at Maria's deadly eyes, then looking back at Dr. Burggraf.

"You are safe here with me". Dr. Burggraf comforted her. "Keep going, I really want to get to know you".

"I am Phoebe, Phoebe Esme." - She stuttered.

"You have a really beautiful name, Phoebe", Esserine gave out her praise for this regular girl. Esserine rarely compliment anyone. She usually just stands still on the ground and sends you a friendly smile.

Maria asked out of curiosity:"So your ability is Teleportation right?". Before Phoebe could say anything, Maria followed with another sentence. "Then why aren't you the first one here?".

"I-", Maria's way of saying did really make Phoebe freeze. She just stood there not saying anything.

"Was it because the challenge was too hard? Or you're just not smart enough to find out sooner?" - Maria mocked this poor girl continuously for no reason. 

"Stop, Maria". - Esserine premeditatedly spoke. 

"There must have been some mistakes with the Pearl of Wisdom". Maria devilly said to Phoebe's ears. "You don't deserve to be an Elite, you unsophisticated female".

Phoebe is on the brink of crying. Her nose is slowly turning red. Her eyes are starting to fill with tears. Phoebe understands that she comes from an ordinary family. She isn't rich, she isn't gorgeous like other damsels. All she can do to change her fate is putting huge effort in academic work and to be excellent with her ability. 

All these words seriously did pierce through Phoebe's heart.

"Enough, Maria"

"If you say one more rude thing about Phoebe or degrade her, I'll send you to the detention room and call your parents". Dr. Burggraf warned her.

"There shouldn't be racism of all types in this classroom. Here, you all are my children and I love you all equally." - Dr. Burggraf announced.

When Dr. Burggraf just finishes her speech, randomly, the mirror in the corner of the room, its glassy surface starts to move. There's a girl stepping out of it.

She looks like Snow White, the finest princess in an ancient fairy tale. Her lips red as a rose, hair black as ebony, and skin white as snow. Her eyes are like morning and evening stars in the sky, dreamy and mystical. 

"Here is the file that Professor Quintanya sends you, it's all about your students' stats and their analyzed ability board." - The pretty girl walking toward Dr. Burggraf, handing her a stack of papers while explaining thoroughly.

"Thank you, Adelphia, you arrived at the perfect time". Dr. Burggraf received it and started to look through a few pages. "Seems like we still need one more student to begin the class".

"Lucas Ellis, he's in the office receiving punishment for fighting in the hall of Honors". Adelphia elucidated. "Nothing would be troublesome if the victim wasn't Prince Federick". 

"He is screwed" - Esserine said.

"Oh so you can talk? I thought you were one with those who have disabilities". Maria ridiculed Esserine. 

"Shut up or you want two of us meeting in the detention room for destroying school facilities". Esserine wasn't an easy girl. If it is needed, she'll probably do it with her whole heart and mind.

"Stop it guys, don't waste my healing for these unworthy battles." - Kayden signed.

Kayden holds his face with his palm, thinking about the future of this class and keeps signing ….
