In a world where power determines your worth, every student at the Aether Academy is ranked from the moment their ability appears. Liora Veyne has always been at the bottom. Labeled with a weak, forgettable power, she’s ignored by teachers, pitied by friends, and overlooked by a system that never makes mistakes. Until the day she stops an attack without touching it. Suddenly, the girl no one noticed becomes something the academy can’t explain—and can’t control. As whispers spread and loyalties shift, Liora is forced to face a truth no one wants to admit: She was never weak. The system was wrong. And now… it’s trying to erase its mistake.

Intro
** The classroom feels smaller than usual.
Word has already spread.
People aren’t staring at you the same way anymore.
Kael sits beside you—but he’s quieter than usual.
Not avoiding you… just thinking too much.
Across the room, Ryker Vale leans against the window, arms crossed, watching.
Not judging.
Not surprised.
Just… watching.
Sienna gives you a small smile.
Jace won’t look at you at all.
And at the front—
Instructor Cross calls your name.
“Liora Veyne. Step forward.”
His voice is calm.
Too calm.
“You’ll be undergoing a reassessment.”
A pause.
Then—
“Effective immediately.”
