The bell marking the end of the first S-Class lecture echoed through the halls of the Main Wing. As students poured out, Anay found himself surrounded by students to talk with him but soon a boy came,
The boy with striking white hair, sharp eyes, and a calm demeanor. "You're Anay, right? I'm Veer," he said, his voice smooth like a breeze. "Wind user. Let's be friends
Anay replied yes
Soon they both go to academy lunch centre
They laughed together as they headed toward the academy's lunch center. It was a massive, modern dining hall built around a spiritual garden, with floating platforms and sunlight filtering through enchanted skylights. They found a quiet spot near the edge of a koi-pond platform.
As they go and sit in the table the students get crowded in front of a girl trying to talk with her
The girl started ignoring the boys and was going to anay and veer and ,
Say you must be anay, she say with
a polite smile. She had mesmerizing blue hair that shimmered like a river under moonlight. "I'm Saki. Water affinity. That was a cool intro, by the way. You made an impression."
Anay chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. "Ah, thanks. Still getting used to everything
Saki say can I eat with you
Veer said yeah if you want to,
As they sat eating, a few students nearby eyed them with mixed expressions—some curious, others laced with envy. Whispers stirred. The new guy was already sitting with the popular ones?
"You should join us for training later," Saki said as she picked up her chopsticks. "We've got access to one of the elemental practice domes after class hours. Might be fun."
"Sure," Anay replied with a grin. "I'm in."
After lunch, the three split ways to return their trays. As Anay made his way toward the dormitories, a familiar voice called out.
"Anay!"
He turned and smiled wide. "Naman! There you are."
The two friends shared a brief, warm handshake.
"Feels like ages since the trials," Naman said.
"Yeah," Anay replied. "Glad to finally run into someone I know. This place is huge."
"I got placed in S-Class Wing B," Naman added with a confident smirk. "Not bad at all. They said it's just a split, not based on strength."
"Same. I'm in Wing A. How's your class?"
"Everyone's pretty skilled. All S-ranks like us," Naman said. "Made a couple friends already."
"Same here," Anay nodded. "You should meet Veer and Saki sometime. Cool people."
The two chatted about their dorms, instructors, and the upcoming island trial.
After a while, they said their goodbyes and headed to their rooms. Anay walked into his assigned dorm, and his face was full of shock , the room look like -
It looked like a five-star suite—polished marble floors, a sleek bed with silk sheets, a glass wall opening to a view of the distant mountains, and a personal meditating pod. On the far side, a sealed door slid open at his presence, revealing a private training ground.
Anay exhaled in awe.
"Whoa… I could get used to this."
He stepped onto the training floor, sensing how the energy inside responded to his spiritual pressure. A quiet grin formed on his face.
But deep within, a part of him remained silent. No one here knew about his Inner Realm. No one knew that while they had awakened one path, he had inherited all eight Siddhis.
And for now… it was best kept that way.
