-Flight no. 176 is going to depart in 15 minutes. All passengers are requested to reach gate no. 78 and report.

"ELLLLLEEE!!!! WE NEED TO RUNNN!!!!" A silver haired young girl of about 20-year-old yelled while running as she dragged her sister towards gate no. 176. The girl being dragged looked like she was about to cry as she was being pulled by the silver-haired lady.

"We are gonna miss it! We are gonna miss it! We are gonna miss it!" The silver-haired lady kept mumbling with a slightly hurried and desperate look on her face as she raced through the hallway from one end to another.

"[Haste]!![Haste]!![Haste]!!" she chanted as she increased her speed, despite it being a violation of rules to use skills unless especially needed.

"Anna! Brother would kill us if he hears that we missed our flight," with teary eyes Elle spoke as she looked at her elder sister carrying her towards the gate. However, Anna was so into running that she didn't hear Elle's words.

After another couple minutes…

"Huff… huff… huff.. Annabeth Rose and Elizabeth Rose… " Anna spoke as she took out their passports and gave them to the employee at the desk. The employees checked the passport with a slight chuckle as they affirmed the passport and let the sisters board the flight.

"We… huff… huff… made it!! Yaaayyyee…" Elle spoke with a slightly victorious(tired) expression as she entered a pathway towards the airplane. Anna followed her as she looked at Elle.

Wearing a blue coloured T-shirt on black jeans and a thin white jacket on top of it, she looked really stunning despite turning only 16 this year. Her black hair that reached her waist was more or less messed up due to all the running.

Elle turned around without stopping as she looked at Anna. Anna was a silver-haired, blue-eyed girl with her hair tied into a crown knot. She too was wearing the same clothes, matching her little sister.

"Let's go," Elle spoke and Anna nodded before catching up to her as they walked into the airplane.

Inside the airplane, they took some time before finding their seats and sat there. After getting comfortable in their seats, Elle looked at Anna as she spoke,"Sister. Do you think I would get into the Arcadia Academy?" there was clear hesitation in her eyes. She had heard that the test at Arcadia Academy was really tough.

Anna smiled at her sister as she spoke." Don't worry, pipsqueak. You will breeze through the test without any troubles. As someone who had passed the test before, I can surely account for that." There was clear pride in Anna's eyes as she looked at Elle.

Elle nodded at her sister with a fire burning in her eyes. She had been preparing for this test for over a year now. If she couldn't even get into the Academy after all that hard work, forget about her parents; she won't even be able to face herself anymore… or so she was thinking.

Anna had passed the test 4 years ago, and she was in the second last year of Arcadia Academy's 5 year course. She had been one of the most prodigious family members of her family, surpassing everyone in her family. Whether it was skill or mana potential, she had bested almost every family member by a huge margin.

However, then Elle came and showed an even more prodigious nature than Anna had. The elders of the Rose family thought it would be better to let Anna take over Elle's training, since she was more than just capable of doing that. The other reason was that Elle liked to be close to only her sister and brother than anyone else in the family.

"How long will it take to reach the Academy?" Elle asked with a slightly excited face. While the test was there, she was excited about what comes after the test and that is an Academy life where she could do whatever without her family interfering.

"Hmmmm…. About 6-8hours… unless we get bad weather. After that we will stay in a hotel for sometime before taking the test. Then there is the result… expect it to be declared about 3 weeks from now. If you pass then you will be allowed to enter the Academy as a student," Anna spoke as she read through Elle's thoughts. She couldn't help but chuckle at her stupidly smiling face. Then she did what any honourable elder sister would.

-Click

She clicked a picture of her funny face. Elle, surprised by her sister's move, squinted at her. After a few moments, she realised what had just happened, and a horrified expression came on her face as she began snatching Anna's phone.

"Hahahahahah…." Anna laughed as she raised the phone away from Elle.

-Please tighten your seatbelts. This is your pilot….

An announcement started and both the sisters got back to their normal positions as they tightened their seatbelts. Anna was smiling as she tried her best not to laugh out loud, and Elle kept glaring at her.

Soon the flight took off and time slowly passed for both sisters…

5 Hours later…

Elle woke up from a nap and rubbed her eyes. She looked around to find Anna sleeping soundly beside her. She looked at the time and slowly yawned before getting off from her seat.

"Awaaahhh!" she yawned again as she stretched her hands while cracking her fingers before moving towards the bathroom. As she was walking towards the bathroom, she got a creepy feeling, as if someone was looking at her.

She turned back immediately to confirm her suspicions and searched around for a bit before shaking her head as she proceeded towards the bathroom.

Standing in front of the bathroom, she found one of the bathrooms open and a stinking smell coming out of that bathroom.

She wanted to take a step back and immediately go back, but then… the bathroom door opened by itself.

And what came in front of her eyes was a half rotten man with a red gemstone embedded on his forehead.
