"Welcome to Kailean Academy," she says with a smile. "You are now officially enrolled. here are your room numbers and keys, but be aware that they may change depending on the ranking test tomorrow".
I look at my room key, its like a hotel room key with the number, 666
"Follow the mana arrows to your room please" the woman at the counter continues.
"Thank you" i look at the ground and see a path made of glowing blue arrows.
"This must get confusing if a lot of people tried to use them at once" i muse, as i follow the arrows to my room.
The arrows lead me outside and behind the central building, where there is 3 manor houses of different sizes. The arrows lead me to the largest one.
I see lots of people from differing ages, from 12 to 18. All moving around in the academy uniforms.
I keep following the arrows and they lead me to the 3rd floor and a room that has 666.
There is a card reader next to the door, i slide the card in it and enter the room and fall down on the bed.
My silver hair falls on my face
"Wait silver?, i was a redhead before" i look around the room for a mirror. Theres a lounge room and a bathroom. I head to the bathroom and look at the mirror thats above the sink, only to see a completely different face looking at me, my old red hair and face, is gone and in its place is a beautiful young lady, with long, flowing silver hair that cascades down in gentle waves. My deep, captivating blue and purple eyes, with features that are delicate yet defined, a true beauty.
"So thats what the Charisma stat does"
Im wearing a knee-length skirt paired with a simple, modest blouse and a plain black coat,
"Well that makes sense" i touch my cheek."i mean im in my own novel, so i supose it would be natural that im a different person"
"But who am i?"
I never wrote about a character like this and even if im supposed to be an extra,i would have mentioned some one this cute.
"Ah right my status window"

Beep
Beep
Beep
"Ugh why is an alarm going off"
I roll over and fall off the bed.
"Ow" i rub my head and look around, remembering where i am.
"Huh so it wasn't a dream"
Beep
Beep
I look for the source of the noise, only to find it coming form all around me.
"Ugh, yes im a wake just shut up" the noise turns off and i stumble out of bed and into the bathroom, only to find an academy uniform Infront of the door.
"How'ed that get there" i mutter and go into the shower.
After ive cleaned my self and washed my hair, i slip into my new academy uniform and tie up my hair with a towel.
I then look in the cabinets for make-up or a toothbrush, finding both i finish getting ready and exit the room, only to find the building empty.
"Im late aren't i" i mutter "damit this is a clichè"
I start running and the blue mana arrows return, guiding me to an atrium where kids around my age where gathered.theres an elderly woman speaking.
"-and so we will begin the ranking assessment" she then waved her hand and the teaches divided us into groups and lead us to different parts of the field that had giant stones.
"I am kai lorian, i am the spiritual energy instructor. Put your hand on the stone as i call your name." She says
"Herny loten. Control 36/100. Capacity 75"
"Jade Oni. Control 9/100 capacity 50"
"Hana kori control 50/100 capacity 120"
...
After about 20 more names it was my turn
"Clare Nakamura" i approach the stone and put my hand on it. "Control 0/100 capacity 300. Congratulations, miss Nakamura, youve set a new record. Never have i seen some one with so little control."
The testing continues and we move on to a written exam. The teacher takes us to a lecturer room and tells us to use the screens in the deasks in frount of us.
Most of the questions where of things that i had no idea about, for example.
---
Question 1:"Describe the role of spiritual energy in the casting of illusions and detail how control over this energy impacts the effectiveness and complexity of the illusions created. Use specific examples from known spiritual practices or historical figures within the magical community."
Question 2: what is the most effective way to defeat a raging rank 2 demonic monster.
---
See? I mean how am i supposed to know that, i mean i may have written the book but what author actually goes into the details about every monster, i mean yeah theres the books about how authors have been reborn in their own novel, but really how do they know everything and are able to get a perfect thery score?.
Once the test were finished we were then taken to a mini Colosseum.
"Next you will have your combat abilitys tested. First up, Clare Nakamura, vs Rachel Reinheart."
A pretty redhead girl with a giant hammer walked intothe area.
"Shit, thats one of the main cast. Im fucked"
