In the Classroom...
"You want to know about wishes?" The principal said in a worried voice, his arms crossed.
"Yes I do," I said with no hesitation, full confidence but with an empty mind.
Then the principal turns to the new transfer asking if he's interested and he nodded.
"This is very important and also confidential to other students, they only know little things about wishes as powers." The principal said.
"Ok" I said, my heart was pounding, but it was a good kind of panic, while next to me is the transfer student who's sitting calmly like a behaved dog.
"The power sources are called wishes, if you have checked the book which I think you both already did, it was stated that there are three types of wishes; we have childhood wishes, accidental wishes and necessity wishes." The principal paused for a second trying to remember the book information, while his holding the book.
Then he continued, "these types of wishes will end up one thing that we call Granted Abilities or simply we call GA. These GA are divided into three. First we have the Artifacts - the artifacts is the tangible, the physical things we can touch and hold, next is the Avatar, the avatar is the vitals where it affects the user, for example having healing or super strength or speed, the avatar has two different types but I won't explain that, lastly we have the absolutes where they users uses something conceptual like luck or probability, anything that goes beyond world logic for example, dying or getting accident its always common for human to be engaged into dangerous situations but a person who has luck can overturn it making him impossible to be engaged with anything dangerous. Now-"
But before the principal continues the next part of the book we have been interrupted, the classroom that we have been staying started already and we need to get out.
"We can go into the library and let's continue the talk there," I suggested.
"Aren't you both going to your classes? It already started and besides I'm a principal, I've got a lot of things to do, go back now or you want a detention once again, Mr. Merlin? you don't want that on your report card, do you?" Principal said, pointing his finger towards the stairs.
And we run...
Me and this transfer student run like hell, our Classroom is the last of the six rooms and it was on the fourth floor, even if i want elevator, i sadly can't. There's a saying that be content with what you have, if you don't then your greedy as heck, so don't be.
Finally we have arrived at the classroom but the class already had started, our proffesor already teaching lessons about the thermodynamics.
Our professor looked at us and said "what are you going to do?"
We said "good afternoon Ms. Claura, sorry if we're late," and we bowed down our heads, and the teacher let us in.
Ms. Claura tapped the tip of her red marker against the board, the rhythm sounding like a ticking clock. On the white surface, she had written: 📐 U= Q - W.
"The First Law," she began, her voice crisp and devoid of emotion. "The Law of Conservation of Energy. It's the most fundamental rule of the physical world. Internal energy, 📐 U, is equal to the heat added to the system, minus the work done by the system,
W ."
She turned to face the class, her glasses reflecting the overhead fluorescent lights.
"Imagine a piston in an engine. You inject heat, the gas expands, and it pushes the metal. Work is done. But here is the reality: you can never get more out than you put in. You cannot cheat the universe. If you don't provide the heat, the fuel, the system remains static. It is a closed loop of cold iron."
She walked toward the front row, her heels clicking.
"Then we move to the Second Law, the one that should keep you awake at night: Entropy. In any cyclic process, the entropy of the system will either increase or remain the same. It will never decrease. Heat flows spontaneously from a hot body to a cold body, never the other way around without external work."
She picked up a metal ruler and slapped it lightly against her palm.
"Efficiency is a myth. No engine is one hundred percent efficient. In every single transaction of energy, some of it is lost to the surroundings as waste heat. The universe is slowly, inevitably, moving toward a state of maximum disorder. Energy spreads out. It becomes thin. It becomes unusable."
She leaned over a student's desk, her shadow falling over their notebook.
"If you are not adding energy, you are losing it to the void. That is not a theory. That is the law of the world you live in. Now, open your textbooks to page 142. Let's talk about Enthalpy."
The lesson went on and on and lastly ...
*BELL RINGS*
"See you in the next class."
On the principal office...
"This kid is... Completely normal," The principal said, holding the status report of Merlin.
"Then this kid... Has potential is he the next legend?"
Suddenly a knock came to the door.
"Hi, my name is Audria Kurtina, this is my son, Lancelot Nocturne, I want to enroll my son here,"
The principal hide the status report of Merlin and Cedric below on his desk and started going through the files of enrollment.
"Your son, did he have behavioral issues?" The principal questioned.
"Is that going to be a problem?" Audria asked.
"No, Ms. Audria, it's just that if he had one we can help him undergo therapy, we help students while also teaching them lessons to not let them be left behind to other students."
The principal said, his hands closed in to each other.
Audria takes a short breath and then continued "sorry if I kinda misjudge you Mr. principal, we just been in constant trouble with the schools lately, others don't accept my son because he's different, other says that he's not fit in, so I thought you were also going to reject my son," Audria explained, as she bit her lip, tasting the faint, metallic tang of blood.
"Don't worry, Ms. Audria, we don't do that here, we treat everyone here with respect," Principal replied, trying to ease the nervousness of the mother.
And then the son talk.
Lancelot was about 5.4 tall, his blonde hair and Emerald eyes make him unique alongside the outfit, wearing a white polo covered with light brown sleeveless vest lastly with gray pants and black shoes.
"Are you flirting with my mother?"
