Valor Academy for the Impressively Abled

Summary:

In a universe fractured by realms and waves, Valor Academy stands as the most elite, and dangerous, school for the extraordinarily gifted. Tucked inside the hidden realm of Storcanthia, Valor trains the "abilitied," young people born with powers tied to the elements, shadows, mirrors, and even the stars themselves. But power alone isn't enough. To survive here, you need loyalty, grit, and something no one can teach: purpose.

But in a galaxy where ability equals duty, and students are ranked, watched, and sent on deadly missions to fix decaying realms, the pressure isn't just to succeed, it's to become a hero. Even if no one ever told you how.

“Oops, sorry! I thought you were someone else!” she continuously apologized while poking her head throughout the semi complete groups standing within the red rings.

“This’ll be harder than I thought,” she mumbled to herself.

“Students, remember, you can always look up if you need assistance,” the speaker echoed again.

She halted and looked around, cheeks flushed red, as she drew out a small rectangular slip of paper with the number 404 printed on it from the folds of her white pleated skirt. Her eyes explored the ceiling. 515… 427… 408… 404.

A toothy grin tugged at her lips as she leapt towards the people who would become her future.
