Magic At War by Kimberly Sanders (best ereader for academics txt) 📕

Chapter 1
I walked up to a huge building in the west wing. It was the doormatory. I walked up to my room.
"Wow, it's nice."
"It is isn't it?"
I turned around to find a black haired girl. "Hi, I'm your roommate! My name is Jade."
"Hi, my name is Rose.....Rose Lynne." I told her sitting on the empty bed.
"Of the Lynne War Warriors!?" She spoke as if astonished.
"Yeah." I started a spell to unpack me.
"Sweet." She grabbed her wand. "Tomrrow your gonna go with the headmaster to get your magic item. And you'll also get put into a classification. You'll ether be a soldier or a wizard of battle. " She added.
"Nice. " I said spreading out my hands and in a blink I was unpacked.
"Cool spell. I see the Dark Arts School trained you well."
I smiled.
The next day headmaster Anthony took my to his battle room. "We are going to let you chose a magic item right now. Chose it wisely, but make sure its magic is of power toward your favor. Raise your hand over one and see if you pick up its magic. "
Raised my hand over a wand. I felt something but not much. I move my hand to a sword. It felt powerful but then I placed my hand on the staff. It put itself in my hand. Headmaster Anthony was impressed.
"It looks like the staff came to you."
I smiled.
"Think fast!"
He threw a ball of fire at me. I turned it into a bunch of magic dust.
Headmaster Anthony smiled.
"Just like your grandmother.....I mean that was excellent. Now time to move onto producing weapons and sheilds." We moved into the next room.
"Ok...to produce a weapon, do this." He moved his hands in a diagonal way and a sword poofed into his hand.
"Try it."
I moved my hands in a blink of an eye. An enormously sword came into my hands.I felt powerful with it.I'm not sure why but it feels narutral to me to do this stuff. It felt good too.
"That was very good. Now make a sheild like this." He moved his hands in a circular motion. A shield appeared into his hands. "Go."
I moved my hands with a cicrular motion. A heavy black shield appeared.
Headmaster Anthony smiled. "I figured this might happen. Your grandmother was the same way."
"What do you mean? Is there something wrong?"
"No! Its just she was excellent in both and she was called The Wizard Of Battles." He said making a portal. In that portal I saw a young women. She looked exactly like me, except more mauture. She was beautiful. I saw then a very talented lady. Enimies surrounded her. She took her staff and let out a roar as all her enimies trembled beneath her. She then made a slender, red handled sword appear as she beheaded them, one by one.
All of a sudden she fought with the leader. The magic went on back and forth. He would throw a fire sword or two, and the women would turn it into stone and direct it back. He blocked everything as she did til the final breath was taken. She stabbed him in the heart with a ice sword. Then I heard the words of my life that I will never forget as long as I live, "I will always remember you, for your determination, and skills. May you die in piece.

"
She then slid her sword out of him and put one foot on his chest and held up her sword and screamed, "FOR THE HEAVENS!"

Then he closed the portal as everyone cheered in the battle.
"Wow."
"Yes, she was very talented, but she had to go through both courses. I will let you study both, if you can handle it."
I though for a moment, "I can handle it."
"Good. Nightaven will show you around." He whistled. A young student appeared.
"Oh hello!" The young, raven-haired boy said. "I am a solider, I guess headmaster wants me to help you. "
Headmaster dissapeared and Nightaven walked with me to my dormatory.
