Hello! Thanks for giving this story a chance! I hope you read and enjoy this and please read the first chapter before you dismiss this since I'm not that good at descriptions. :) I will attempt to update this weekly (around Thursday-ish) but real life will often get in the way, especially with my job and college.
Many thanks for reading this,

Foreword
Lu Han ¦ 25 ¦ Telekinesis
Born in China and taken by his parents to study in Korea, Luhan was always a smart student who easily passed all kinds of tests and was always expected to get into the prestigious Academy of Magical Arts. After discovering his powers at a young age, he was disappointed and suppressed his powers in order to become a Medic.
Kim Minseok (Xiumin) ¦ 25 ¦ Cryokinesis
Minseok was never the smartest boy in the neighbourhood nor in his class, but that isn’t to say that he was unhappy. Minseok was the best tactician in his city and he enrolled into the Academy of Magical Arts at the young age of 16. That same week, he discovered his cryokinesis powers and strove to become the head tactician of the country’s peace forces.
Oh Sehun ¦ 21 ¦ Wind Manipulation
Born into a family of soldiers, this path was always expected of him. But Sehun didn’t want to just want to follow orders for the rest of his life. He wanted something more, so when he enrolled as a student at the Academy of Magical Arts, his family was outraged. But Oh Sehun was strong and became the strongest in his class of Wind Manipulation.
Kim Jongin (Kai) ¦ 21 ¦ Teleportation
Oh Sehun’s best friend from a young age, he was always next to him. So it wasn’t a surprise when Jongin enrolled in the same academy. What was a surprise, was Jongin’s powers and aptitude for the Academy. And perhaps finding his soulmate wasn’t exactly part of the plan, but it’s not like it was unwelcome.
Do Kyungsoo (D.O.) ¦ 24 ¦ Earth Manipulation
Kyungsoo was gifted with technology from a young age and with a sharp mind, he was the best hacker around. Kyungsoo enrolled into the Academy to gain new skills and to gather new recruits for the peacekeeping forces. He certainly didn’t expect to find someone who would blindly follow him everywhere at a whim. And for all the mental training he had had, he had no idea what to make of these feelings.
Park Chanyeol ¦ 23 ¦ Pyrokinesis
Born into a richer family, Chanyeol was always supposed to welcome the easy sedentary lifestyle that his father lived. But when the country begins to declare a state of emergency because of rebellions, Chanyeol ran away to train to become a soldier. He never expected his powers to be so sought after until he was suddenly enrolled into an academy, not as a soldier, but as a chosen mage.
Byun Baekhyun ¦ 23 ¦ Light Manipulation
Baekhyun had always lived a normal life in the countryside with his grandmother. He went to the local school a few times a week to practise his powers but he mostly helped his grandmother with the crops and the clinic and looked after a mysterious boy he found on the mountain one day. It was a surprise when he was suddenly called to the capital for service in the peacekeeping forces.
Zhang Yixing (Lay) ¦ 24 ¦ Healing
Yixing had always lived in the clouds. Nobody quite knows his story, not even Yixing himself remembers it, but they do know that the boy with the extraordinary healing abilities that were never before seen comes from China. Yixing lived a covert life in the country with Baekhyun and his grandmother away from the all-seeing eyes of the military.
Kim Junmyeon (Suho) ¦ 24 ¦ Hydrokinesis
Junmyeon, having spent his entire life in various academies, had always been preparing for the day he was summoned to be the leader of the new peacekeeping battalion. A natural and practised leader who is kind and fair, everyone loved his cheesy personality. And of course, carrying one of the most powerful elements, water, Junmyeon was respected and seen as the leader the peacekeeping forces had been waiting for.
Kim Jongdae (Chen) ¦ 23 ¦ Electrokinesis
Jongdae was never meant for the Academy of Magical Arts. Born as a normal city boy, he was always getting into trouble in abandoned buildings with his friends. It was during his escapades that he discovered his electrical powers and soon became the local troublemaker. As he got older, Jongdae developed a street reputation and he began to get into a lot of trouble, forcing the authorities to force him into various academies. Before he knew it, he had become a soldier.
Huang Zitao (Tao) ¦ 21 ¦ Time Manipulation
Where Tao goes, Kris follows. The two have been item since everyone started paying attention and they’ve always been the cheesy couple who spend more time looking into each other’s eyes than looking at everyone else. Nobody quite remembers the days when Tao wasn’t joined with Kris at the hip but everyone does remember the self-proclaimed Kung Fu Panda who spent more time at the gym and the department store buying designer accessories than anyone else. Then Kris showed up.
Wu Yifan (Kris) ¦ 24 ¦ Flight
The mysterious cold boy who one day appeared and the next day met Tao and the rest, as they say, I history. The two share a bond so strong that no one is ever alone with Kris long enough to ask just where he came from. But what do they know is that he shares the same foreign accent as Tao and hides both his and Tao’s rare powers from the academy heads.
