3.0

After discovering he possesses pryokinetic talents while defending his sister in a robbery, Tomas is pulled in by the local gang boss to be an enforcer, starting fires when people do not pay up. Caught by the police, he is offered a deal by the DA: attend a boarding school in upstate New York for three years to earn a GED and his record will be sealed. He agrees, thinking to escape if he hates it, and is perplexed when he arrives, convinced it is a trick or people are fooling themselves. For here is a school for people with psionic and magic abilities - and everyone knows there is no such thing as magic!

Thoroughly enjoyed this! This is a nifty world, would love if there was more of this particular universe or at the school.
