//------------------------------// // Flight Class // Story: Crystalling College: Rainbow Dash Edition // by StarryCandy //------------------------------// Dash walked away from Pinkie and her shenanigans and towards Flight class. There were only two thoughts in her head, and one of them was who got possessed, and the other? Does Pinkie always have to do that? She got so lost in thought that she almost passed the classroom, which turned out to be the yard where she first met Soarin. Fortunately, the teacher had called out her name to check attendance. Dash heard her and ran into the yard. "Are you Rainbow Dash?" The teacher asked. Dash nodded. "May I ask why you're late?" "Another student was holding me up. Sorry." Dash apologized. The teacher wrote it down and put away her clipboard. "Okay. Just try not to be late again. And if you are, get a pass." She said. Dash nodded in understanding and sat in a vacant spot. Snowflake, who was next to her, snickered. "Now, some of you may have had me last year, but just in case, my name is Ms. Galerider. I will be your teacher for Flight class. I will not expect the newer people to know so quickly, but I expect some of my older students to know. Snowflake Swirl, would you care to demonstrate?" "With pleasure, Ma'am." Snowflake said confidently. She moved her scarf, revealing a light blue pendant. She muttered some gibberish and held her hands in an airplane position. Then, transparent, light blue wings popped behind her back. They were pointy and had darker shades of blue at the tips. "Very good, Snowflake. The flight magic she just performed is calculated as a level 7. There are 10 levels in total, and barely get to 9. Nobody has gotten up to 10 since the Principal and Vices. Now, each of you will be getting a pendant much like Snowflake's, but the color differs based on your magical concentration. For example, Snowflake's concentration is blue, so that is rather powerful. Purple is in the middle, while white means you need to learn a lot this year and improve to get at least purple. That is your goal. Any questions?" Galerider said. A student raised their hand. "Yes?" "If blue isn't the highest level concentration, then what is?" They asked. "Ah. I haven't explained that one, have I?" Galerider cleared her throat. "The highest level is something we haven't seen since the Principals' demonstrations. According to them, only they and six others weilded it in the past. Their concentration color is red." Everyone gasped. "Though, nobody except them could do it, even to this day. Now, we will distribute the pendants. Please use an index card to jot down your concentration color. Once you're done, pass the cards up and wait for further instructions." Galerider announced, and walked around with a bag of necklaces. Snowflake turned to Dash and smirked. "Let's see how you can beat that, newbie." Snowflake said smugly. Dash could feel her anger boiling up. I'll show her I'm not a newbie and that I CAN beat her magic level! Dash thought to herself. When she got her necklace, she put it around her neck and fastened it in a knot. "Whoa!" "What's with her pendant?" "Ms. Galerider, someone's pendant glowed red and changed shape!" "Wait, really?!" A chorus of chatter filled the air. Galerider came to a stop in front of a student. "Whose pendant glowed red and changed shape?" Galerider asked. The student pointed at Dash. Galerider came over to her. Once she did, she took a look at her pendant and gasped. "Y-you're a level 10-ranged flight student!" She exclaimed. Everyone gasped in shock and surprise. Cliffhanger? Maybe not? Who knows anymore. For some reason, author's notes wouldn't appear. Plus, school is keeping me from writing. Ironic how school is keeping me from writing a story with a school setting. Anyways, next chapter may come out next week or so. So stay tuned for that! Bye!
