Expectations Vs reality

[POV Alicia]
Lately, I rarely see My brother other than at home.
Is it me who is busy or does he have a lot of work to do?
Nope. He doesn't seem to be busy.
I know him very well. He didn't like troublesome things, and it could be said that being busy was the pinnacle of troublesome things.
"Alicia!"
What's wrong with him, anyway?
"Alicia!!"
He also doesn't seem to be talkative at home.
"Alice!!!"
I flinched because Ms. Andara shouted in my ear.
The whole class burst out laughed.
No wonder I had heard a faint voice. I seem to be daydreaming.
"You daydreaming? Not like you. What are you thinking?"
"Nothing, ma'am!" I said while making a strange move.
"Really? You look very suspicious." Mrs. Andara narrowed her eyes in disbelief.
"No, it's alright!" I smile.
"Hm... Alright. Go to page 56 in the ability transformation section and read it!"
"Good."
After reading what Mrs. Andara ordered, the bell signaling the end of school hours rang.
As soon as Mrs. Andara came out of class, the students started fanning their bodies with the folded flyers they had just received this morning near the station.
"So hot! At this rate I'm going to melt," said Vania who sat next to me.
"You're right . . . " I also folded the used flyer, fanning it against my body.
Some of the class, who could not stand the heat, started to leave the classroom.
However, they soon returned with unreliable information.
"Oi! They say our school has a new swimming pool in the yard!" shouted the bearer of the important information.
"No way. It's just a lie. Don't listen to it." Said the boy who looked gloomy while crossing his legs on the table.
"This is serious! Look at it from the classroom window!"
The disciples sitting by the window immediately looked outside to confirm.
"Yo! It's true!" Their eyes sparkled.
After that, the other students who had confirmed the existence of the swimming pool immediately ran out of the classroom.
"Alicia, let's go too!" take Vania.
Out of curiosity, I got up from my seat, followed Vania out of the classroom.
"I can't take it anymore... Me first, Alicia!" The impatient Vania ran away from me.
I who wasn't too interested ended up walking leisurely on my own. However, when I reached the hallway near the exit, someone greeted me,
"Yo!"
With a mysterious aura surrounding him, he is someone to watch out for.
He is Devdan the Student Council President.
"You are... Aray's little sister, right?"
"Yes, I am. What do you need me for?"
It seemed he was walking around the school alone.
"No. I just wanted to see you up close. A lot of people say you look alike. But for some reason, you guys don't look alike in my eyes at all."
"What do you mean? We do look alike."
"Hm..." Devdan smiled. "You guys are completely opposite in nature, and in terms of abilities are also very different, Aray is much stronger than you." he continued.
"Where did you conclude that? My brother can't even fight."
Devdan flinched slightly.
"That's weird..." He frowned.
"Weird?" I asked in amazement.
After thinking for a moment, Devdan managed to conclude something, chuckling.
"So is that so?"
"What's so funny?"
"Nothing. Forget it. Anyway, it looks like something fun is going to happen today."
At the same time as his words, millions of snowflakes rained down on the school.
I was speechless because of this drastic change in weather.
"Haha... I didn't know it could snow in the summer."
He said as he looked out the hallway window.
"I can't linger. Before the weather gets cold, I have to go back to the student council room."
"Okay. I also want to check the state of the new pool." I bowed, greeted him, and walked past him.
But, somehow when we passed each other, time seemed to stop.
At that moment, Devdan whispered to me.
"You don't know neither your brother nor yourself at all."
After that, he disappeared like a ghost. His words kept ringing in my head.
I don't know my brother?
Even myself?
What does he mean?
[POV Array]
"One very hot day, a swimming pool appeared in the school grounds.
While the students were playing in the water in the new swimming pool,
It was snowing so cold it made the swimming pool and some of the students in it freeze."
I burst out laughing in my heart after reading a very thrilling summer story.
This imagination ability is indeed very great.
Well... Speaking of abilities, actually, my abilities still have another function, which is to turn expectations into a reality.
In short, turning an expected situation into a reality.
This function is great.
Just imagine if you are in love with someone, and you hope your love is reciprocated.
However, in reality, your love is one-sided, but with this ability, your wishes will come true.
The person you like will like you back.
Or... You buy a lottery number and expect to win it. But again reality says otherwise.
With this ability, hope will come true. You will win the lottery and get lots of prizes.
It can be concluded,
As long as I know what one expects and also know what reality is like, I can use this ability.
Same with the previous function.
Turning imagination into something that can be seen and felt by the human senses.
This ability will work after I know the process of forming or the occurrence of something so that the process creates an object that can be seen and felt.
The point is, as long as I know how to create it, nothing impossible.
And I often use this ability on someone I shouldn't have used on.
[Principal's POV]
Today the head of the Macht Ist Alles school received a direct invitation from the king to go to the royal palace.
Although this huge area is called a state, it is more of a kingdom led by a great king who is highly respected by his subordinates.
Daiva Hira as the headmaster seems to know what made the king invite her to the palace.
With all her preparations, she went to the palace by car.
Arriving at the palace, she was greeted by the king's loyal servants. "Welcome Madam Daiva. King Avanindra is waiting for you."
Without waiting for Daiva's reply, the maid immediately led him to the royal hall, the promised place for a meeting to be held.
This royal palace is very luxurious.
Built with 978 rooms in it making this kingdom the largest kingdom in 4 states.
All the rooms in this palace are golden in color.
The servant led Daiva to walk through a very large long hallway.
This long hallway in the Palace serves as a gallery of famous paintings from the royal family's collection.
This 47-meter long hallway was specially designed for this collection of paintings.
Paintings in this hallway are often changed periodically according to the wishes of the king.
After passing through the hallway, you will find a staircase that connects the palace entrance with other rooms in the royal palace.
When you climb it, you will find dozens of photos.
The photos are framed paintings of members of the royal family of King Avanindra, displayed at the top of the stairs.
After that, you will enter the royal hall, where the king's throne is.
The main part of this room was a single red throne chair, and it was there that King Avanindra was waiting quietly for Daiva.
Looks like she came last.
Because it was seen in front of the king's throne the other principals were kneeling.
"I'm done!" She thought.
Daiva who arrived late immediately saluted the king, kneeling after the other principals.
After seeing that the last participants of the meeting had arrived, King Avanindra decided to start this meeting.
"Alright... Since Daiva has come, we can start the meeting this time." The king started to speak.
King Avanindra is not old. He is still young, he is in the range of 40 years.
His face is still very handsome but looks very firm.
"You already know, don't you? Why did I gather all of you here?"
"Yes. We all know that." Say all the principals in unison.
"In that case, give your reports in turn!" the king's orders.
His voice echoed through the hall ceiling.
So the principals in turn began to report the formation of groups of genius students in their schools.
King Avanindra ordered to form groups of 10 genius students in each school they lead and rank them according to the order of strength.
Daiva got the last turn to report because she was also the last one to arrive.
"Now it's your turn, Daiva! I heard you haven't found the 10th candidate in your group.
Is that true?" asked the king.
The other principals seemed to be holding back their laughter, sounding disdainful.
Daiva who had bowed her head before the king looked up, showing her face, looking into the king's eyes.
Smiling then said, "No. I just found the perfect candidate for the 10th place, and I thought he would be the top in his group."
King Avanindra also smiled.
