Mystical Magic Academy: The Young Wizard

Lucas opened his eyes and looked around. He breathed a sigh of relief that he was still alive and alone. He got up and yawned, stretching his arms in the process. The cave was fairly dark as the fire he had lit the night before was now smouldering embers, but Lucas, even with the small amount of light he had, could see the whole interior with almost no difficulty. He walked to the entrance, checking to see if anyone was lurking around outside. It was early and the sun was only starting to peek over the horizon. Lucas smiled, watching the sunrise in the mornings, it was one of the reasons he got up so early. After looking around the entrance and finding no-one around, he walked back in way to the mirror he had hung on the wall. He looked into the mirror and looked himself up and down in the dim light. He wasn't exactly in the best condition. His brown hair was a mess, like it always is, his light green eyes still had the same look in them as always, the look of someone fighting to survive, but he had dark lines under his eyes. It had been a while since he'd had a good, restful sleep, mostly when he slept, it was a very nervous sleep, he could never completely fall asleep and he was always on edge. He could having on him. He sighed and turned away; thinking about it wouldn't help his situation at all, he needed to find somewhere where everyone wasn't trying to kill him for what he was. He chuckled fat chance of that he thought to himself. He lay back down on his make-shift bed. "Should get a few more hours of sleep while I can, I've got to keep moving." As he closed his eyes a sudden light appeared. Fearing the worst, Lucas jumped onto his feet and looked around. What he saw surprised him. The light was coming from a strange green shape just him; Lucas wasn't sure where it had come from, but he could tell no one was in the cave with him. He relaxed and walked towards the light slowly. It had a steady glow, it wasn't fading nor getting brighter, and it also seemed to be stationary. He poked it and pulled his hand back as he did, but all that happened was the area where he had poked seemed ti wobble. Still unsure if it was a trap, he stuck his right hand into it and just as he was about to pull it out, his hand got stuck. Before he knew it he was being sucked into the strange green light and despite his best efforts, he was dragged inside. ~~~ There was a large group of students gathered around outside in one of the court yards of the Mystical Academy of Magic, as well as a bald man holding a staff, he was Professor Stein. All of the students were eager and excited for what was happening today and the group was abuzz with conversation. "I hope I get a Salamander," a student said. "I hope I don't get a mouse like my dad did," Another one said. Everyone was talking about what familiar they would get, except for one blue haired girl, by the name of Aurelia Raven, or rather her more commonly known name, "Raven the loser". "Alright that's enough chatting." Professor Stein said. The students quieted down and as their names were called stepped forward and performed the summoning ritual. The purpose of this ritual was for the students to summon their spirit pet, beings with powers similar to their masters, as well as be their companions. As each creature was summoned, the student that summoned it would kiss it, causing a rune to appear somewhere on the spirit pet body and symbolizing it becoming a pet companion. Aurelia kept her composure at seeing some of the spirit pets that were being summoned; some summoned great, powerful beasts, whereas others summoned strange, unique familiars. She was determined to not be embarrased today of all days. "Has everyone had a turn?" Asked Professor Stein. "Well, not quiet." Kein said, glancing at Aurelia, "Miss Raven still has her familiar to summon." "Oh yes! Aurelia, are you ready?" the professor asked the blue haired girl. "Y-yes sir!" she replied, suddenly very nervous. "Very well then, please perform the ritual." "Yes sir!" She swallowed and walked into the middle of the crowd, she heard whispers from the crowd, they were speculating what kind of pet companion she would summon, and one person even said she probably won't be able to summon one at all. She took a deep breath, "Okay, Aurelia you can do this, summon a spirit pet that will make everyone regret ever mocking your magical ability." She raised her wand, closed her eyes and focused wholly on the summoning spell, "My spirit pet that exists somewhere in this universe or another heed my call. My divine, beautiful, wise, and powerful spirit companion, I summon you!" She opened her eyes and thrust her wand in front of her. As she did, an explosion erupted from her wand, filling the courtyard with smoke. She felt something strange, she felt pain, sadness and anger all at once, and then it disappeared. As the dust cleared, Aurelia's eyes went wide when she saw what she had summoned; all the other students froze in shock when they saw it as well. She had summoned a human, worse than that a commoner , he had messy brown hair and was wearing a white shirt with red buttons and simple trousers, with boots. Lucas stirred, his vision was blurry and his body felt weird, it had felt as if he had been falling. He blinked to clear his vision and saw there was a blue sky above him. Suddenly he remembered, he was in the cave just a moment ago. He bolted upright, and was quiet surprised at what he saw. Directly in front of him was a blue haired girl surrounded by people. He looked around, where am I? Suddenly he noticed everyone was staring at him, and then he saw a red haired girl walk out the crowd and say something in a language he didn't recognise. "This is more than what I expected from you after all that boasting you did yesterday." Kein said mockingly. "To think you actually summoned up a peasant, I'm surprised you even summoned anything." All the students burst into laughter at this, and Aurelia felt her face go red. "Well I have to say, this is a first, and I've never seen someone summon a human as a companion before." Professor Stein said, trying to make it sound like an achievement, Aurelia however, thought the opposite. "Professor, C-can I try the summoning spell again?" Aurelia asked, desperate to avoid having a commoner as her companion. "No, I'm afraid not, this is the most sacred spell that a mage can perform, it changes their whole life. You cannot try again, that would be blasphemy to the ritual. Like it or not, that boy is your companion." Professor Stein said in a tone that offered no room for arguing. "Fine..." Aurelia said, annoyed and upset. "Now finish the ritual." Professor Stein said. Aurelia walked up to Lucas, who hadn't understood a single word that had been said this whole time. "What's going on here?" he asked, but he didn't know if anyone answered him, if he couldn't understand them, they probably couldn't understand him. The blue haired girl walked up to him, and started speaking again. "Oh pentagon of the five powers, bless this individual and make him my companion." She lowered herself onto her knees and put her hand behind his head and started to pull it closer to her. Lucas wasn't sure how to react and suddenly her lips met his. His eyes went wide in shock. What the hell? Now some random girl is kissing me? Aurelia pulled out the kiss and stood up, suddenly Lucas's body got really hot, and his right hand started to hurt, he grabbed his right hand as a strange mark was burned into it. Now what's going on? He thought to himself, suddenly the feeling disappeared, and Lucas passed out. ~~~ Lucas's POV Lucas woke up, feeling groggy for the first time in a few years. He yawned and stretched his arms, "Damn that was a good sleep, haven't slept like that in..." Suddenly he remembered everything that had happened, the strange people, the girl kissing him, the burning feeling, was it a dream? He shot upright and looked around; he was in a room he didn't recognise. No, this isn't a dream he told himself. Well I guess that means wherever I am, the people here aren't trying to kill me... yet. He then noticed the blue haired girl from earlier standing next to him, he looked up at her. He could immediately tell from her face that she was angry. "Uh-oh." He said to himself, he slowly stood up. The blue haired girl was furious. "Why? Why a commoner, of ALL the things I could have summoned, I just HAD to summon a commoner! Why couldn't I at least have gotten something useful?" She was screaming inside her head, and she walked to her cupboard. "Where am I? Why am I here? How did I get here?" I asked, but the blue haired girl seemed to not understand any of the words I am speaking, she just heard gibberish coming from my mouth. "He's so noisy! Can't he just shut up?" the blue haired girl sighed, "Wait I know, I'll use the silence spell!" she turned around and pointed her wand at me. I cannot talk! What happened? "Ansur Ver ang!" Suddenly Lucas felt like someone had just punched him square in the face really hard; he was blasted backwards into the wall. "OW." I yelled. "What was that for?" "I wasn't meaning to- wait, I understood that!" The blue haired girl said to him. "You did?" I asked. Suddenly he could also understand the blue haired girl. At least now I can figure out where I am. Aurelia nodded. "You, what's your name?" she asked. Lucas felt relieved and nervous at the same time. She doesn't recognise me, so where ever I am obviously people don't know about me, but what if they just know my name? Ah who cares, I'll tell her anyway, I can just make a break for it if she recognises my name. He stood up and looked at Aurelia. "My name is Lucas. Lucas Walker." I said. "Lucas Walker?" Aurelia repeated, sounding confused. Phew, she doesn't recognise my name, "Anyway, why am I here?" I asked again. "Well that's simple, I summoned you to be my companion." "Companion?" I asked, confused. She sighed "I guess I'll have to explain it to you." ~~~ Deep in the academy libraries, Professor Stein was flicking through pages of books, looking for a page of information he remembered about the strange rune that Aurelia's companion had gained when she had completed the summoning ritual; he needed to know what it was. He finally found what he was looking for. "But that's impossible" he said, reading the text. "I'll have to inform the Headmaster of this at once."
