Normal POV

Mike was standing on the ship's deck, looking at the Academy from afar. Lire was standing right behind him. Glancing at some papers for the next mission Mike is going to. It was 3 days later. "You'll get some rest at the Academy. You have a mission in 3 days." "Okay!" Mike replies. When they reach the Academy, Mike walks towards his room, not considering anything else after his horribly tiresome day. Or should we say she in this case? Being very cautious, he closes the curtains and relaxes in his armchair for a while. Then, slowly unbuttoning his shirt and sliding down his trousers... his shirt fell on the ground revealing the clean bandages covering his whole chest. Or should I say her?

Mike is none other than our cute innocent Aira, belonging to Celestial Academy, a famous school based on the Mountain of the Alps in the city of Euphoria. The Academy, being as prominent as it was… was known for being notorious as well. The Academy only had students with specific gifts or powers bestowed upon them from birth. As much as gifts or magical powers sound delightful, they can also be dangerous if not kept under control. Different grades of power were categorized based on how dangerous they could be. Aira has been dressing as a boy, ever since she rejoined the Academy after 5 years of secret training and hiding her identity to become a weapon for the school. Only the Headmaster and her best friend Estelle knew she was Aira. The Headmaster of the Academy, no matter how sweetly he smiled or gave you a kind gesture, had no other intention other than being the most powerful being in the Academy. The Academy was hidden from the outside world, which happens to almost every supernatural thing.

Coming back to Aira, the rest of her class and schoolmates knew her as Mike for now. Everyone knew Aira left school 5 years ago, as someone in her family passed away. Her family being... her only grandmother. And that Aira committed suicide due to depression for having no one. As Mike, Aira's best friends were Yoro and Ilyan. She's been doing missions for the school on the order of the Headmaster for a few months now.

Aira's POV

"Ugh, it was so tiring today. So much for maintaining my cover and being dressed as a boy. Why couldn't the Headmaster just instruct me to have plastic surgery or something or even change my hair color, style, and stuff? This is so hard. My chest is growing, but I have to deal with the pain; every single day, keeping a smile on my face. At least the good thing is... I had a successful mission today. But then there's another one in 3 days again! F*UCK!!! Isn't there a way I can stop all this, once and for all, and be a normal *girl* finally again?" talking to herself all the while.

"No, there isn't!" A voice came from outside the door. It was Estelle. "I can hear everything from outside, you know? Could you be a little softer? Idiot!"

"Sorry!" I shout at the door. "Be careful, or else someone might hear your 'cute lovely voice'." Then, I hear footsteps leaving for the next room.

Estelle knew I had to be tired from my mission the whole day, so she didn't knock or ask to come in. Estelle has been my best friend since we were kids. We had been to each and every school together, we belong from the same village, we have had baths together since our young days. So who would have thought that we would both discover that we have powers and end up at the same Academy too?

I continue undressing and then change my clothes to head off to bed. Tomorrow was going to be a long day, too, since I had to pretend to go back to being a boy and attend classes. I then activated one of my powers so that I'll be warned in advance if anyone came near my vicinity. Walking toward my bed, I took a slight peek out of my curtains to see the gorgeous view of the Mountains. They looked so pretty, even basking in the moonlight. Finally sliding into the blankets… getting cozy, my eyes immediately felt heavy. 'I have school tomorrow; I need to sleep.' I thought. Lying on the bed, I still forced myself to stay awake, staring at the ceiling, to think about Lire. What wouldn't I give to see his strong muscles, perfect abs, and all his handsome features? Especially the one downstairs. Thinking about it made my cheeks flush, and I giggled to myself. Soon after, with all the wild, creative imagination of LIre in my head, I fell asleep thinking about him.
