Chapter 4: The Academy Unveiled

The grand hall of Cube Academy buzzed with anticipation as students from various realms gathered for the announcement of their challenging training regimen. Fitness, magic scale testing, witchcraft, and numerous other disciplines awaited them. Clubs and groups were formed, alliances forged, and the air crackled with excitement.

Audrey's POV: The grand hall was a spectacle of vibrant energy, each student representing a unique power or lineage. As the announcements echoed through the hall, my heart thrummed with anticipation. Magic scale testing was a ritual reserved for humans, and the academy's prestigious history unfolded before my eyes.

As I stepped onto the magic scale, a surge of infinite power flowed through me. My magic, unbounded and limitless, sent shock waves through the onlookers. Whispers erupted, and eyes widened in awe. I embraced the essence of my magic, allowing it to cascade around me like an ethereal waterfall. The scale, normally calibrated to measure finite magic, struggled to quantify the boundless energy that radiated from me.

The crowd, including Nathan, watched in stunned silence as my magical prowess defied expectations. A hum of disbelief echoed through the hall. The academy had witnessed a new chapter unfold—the rise of Audrey Lovel, a human with infinite magic.

Nathan's POV: Her magic was unparalleled, a force that captivated the entire hall. I couldn't tear my eyes away as the scale struggled to quantify the vast reservoir of power within her. Jealousy stirred within me, a bitter taste on my tongue. How could mere mortals share Audrey's presence? She deserved a mate who could match her, someone like me.

Jay's POV: Jay, Nathan's Beta, chuckled in amusement. The mighty Alpha, reduced to a bundle of nerves by a human. It was endearing, really. "Looks like someone's feeling a bit territorial," he mused, his mental voice tinged with humor.

"Nathan, mate, relax. She's just showing off her magic. Besides, jealousy doesn't suit you," Jay added, enjoying the spectacle of his usually composed Alpha unraveling over a human.

Audrey's POV: After the magical display, the training classes began. I found myself grouped with Jack Moonworth, an alpha werewolf, Jeremy Willson, a vampire prince, and Ron Adamswell, a siren prince. The challenges were diverse—hurdles, hunting, and battling monsters. Drones captured our every move, assessing our skills and teamwork.

As we navigated the hurdles, a playful camaraderie formed. Jack's raw strength, Jeremy's agility, and Ron's enchanting voice complemented my magical prowess. We moved as one, a formidable team that left the academy instructors in awe. Nathan, observing from the sidelines, couldn't conceal the flicker of jealousy in his eyes.

Nathan's POV: Watching Audrey interact with the others fueled my jealousy. She laughed with Jack, exchanged glances with Jeremy, and shared moments of camaraderie with Ron. Each interaction stung like a fresh wound. I couldn't shake the feeling that I was losing her to these supernatural beings. The thought of her finding a connection stronger than what we shared made my chest tighten.

Jack, the alpha werewolf, clapped me on the shoulder. "Audrey, that magic of yours is something else. We're lucky to have you on our team. Together, we're unstoppable."

Jeremy, the vampire prince, flashed a charming smile. "Audrey, you handle that magic like a seasoned sorceress. It's a pleasure to fight alongside you."

Ron, the siren prince, chimed in with his melodic voice. "Audrey, your magic is as enchanting as the sirens' songs. I believe we make a remarkable trio."

I grinned at my new companions. "Thanks, guys. I'm looking forward to facing whatever challenges come our way together."

Nathan's jaw clenched as he witnessed the camaraderie forming among the group. The sense of exclusion gnawed at him, and jealousy burned in his chest.

Jay's POV: Jay couldn't resist poking fun at Nathan's internal turmoil. "Mate, you look like a brooding character from a love triangle novel. It's cute, really. Maybe you should join their group and form a quadrangle."

Nathan shot him a glare. "Shut up, Jay. This isn't a joke."

Audrey's POV: In the swordsmanship class, I showcased a simple yet effective skill that left the instructor in awe. The clash of steel against steel echoed in the training arena. The blade danced in my hands, a seamless extension of my will. I emerged victorious, proving that even as a human, I held my ground.

Nathan's POV: Her prowess with the sword was a sight to behold. The way she moved, graceful yet lethal, stirred conflicting emotions within me. Pride mingled with jealousy as I watched her conquer the training ground. The realization hit me—Audrey was a force to be reckoned with, with or without my protection.

Jay's POV: Jay couldn't help but tease. "Mate, she doesn't need an alpha to save her. She's doing just fine on her own. Maybe you should focus on not letting your jealousy show so much."

Audrey's POV: As the day concluded, we gathered in the dining hall. The ranking system determined our meals, and as the top-ranked human, I enjoyed the finest feast the academy had to offer. Laughter and conversations echoed through the hall as new friendships blossomed. The day had been a whirlwind of challenges and revelations, and I felt a sense of joy at the prospect of learning from the diverse talents around me.

Jack raised his glass. "To our formidable team. May we conquer every challenge that comes our way."

Jeremy added with a smirk, "Especially with Audrey leading the charge."

Ron, with a sly smile, said, "I look forward to the music of victory we'll create together."

I laughed, feeling a warmth in my chest. "To new friendships and overcoming whatever the academy throws at us."

As I retired to my dorm, thoughts of the day lingered. The camaraderie with Jack, Jeremy, and Ron, the jealous glances from Nathan—my mind was a tapestry of emotions. As I lay in bed, the realization struck me that Nathan's jealousy wasn't just a fleeting emotion. It was a testament to the depth of our connection, a connection that I couldn't ignore.

Nathan's POV: In the quiet of my own dorm, thoughts of Audrey consumed me. The day's events replayed in my mind, and the jealousy that gripped me refused to subside. Rex, my wolf, could sense the turmoil within me. We had never encountered a mate like Audrey, someone who stirred such conflicting emotions. As I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, I couldn't escape the truth—Audrey Lovel had become an indelible part of my world.

Thus, Chapter 4 came to a close, leaving behind a trail of anticipation, jealousy, and a connection that couldn't be ignored. The students of Cube Academy were on their way to uncovering their true potential and unraveling the mysteries of their intertwined fates.
