Aurora's words made both Adam and Joshua raise a brow.
"All you need is a little push to awaken your powers."
Adam scoffed. "Yeah? And you know this how?"
Aurora didn't even blink. "Because I've seen it."
Adam narrowed his eyes. "Seen what?"

Joshua frowned. "Wait, what?"
Aurora nodded. "He doesn't think you deserve the top spot. And he's about to prove it in front of the entire academy."
Adam stared at her, something about her words sending a chill down his spine. "How the hell do you know all this?"
Aurora finally turned to look at him, her violet eyes holding something deep. Unshaken. Certain.
"Because one of my abilities lets me see the future."
Joshua blinked. "Like… glimpses?"
