"Today's your first day of school, is everyone ready?" Kurt asked.
"Of course," Replied Serena.
"No problems here." Said Eleanor.
Meanwhile, John and Ariel just nodded.
"Very well, unfortunately, I cannot go with you as I am not a student, but I'm certain we'll meet each other soon," Said Kurt.
"I'm sure we will," John replied.
"Eleanor, you'll be moving into the dorm so don't lose your luggage," He said.
"I won't, we're heading straight there after all," she replied.
All of their luggage was on the carriage, and John could've flown them there, but it was too risky.
"John, take good care of her." Kurt requested.
"We will." Replied Serena.
"Haha, thank you. Ah, that reminds me..."
Kurt then whispered something into John's ear before the carriage began to move.
"Wha-?!" John unintentionally let out after processing what he said.
"Study hard!" He said as he waved from afar.

They went through the fields, then eventually entered a district near the shopping district they usually went to and there stood a person waiting for them.
"Your names?" He asked.
After the exams were over, they put in their names on the sheets that they gave them. It wasn't a contract sheet, just an identification one.
They then told him their names, and he confirmed them.
"Alright"
After he said that, he turned around and stretched out his hand, before chanting.
Unlike that time with Eleanor, John couldn't understand his chant.
'Why? Could magicians have something which makes their chant incomprehensible? I feel like I've heard of it somewhere but I can't remember, I'll have to ask Serena later.' John thought.
When his chant was finished, a blue gate was formed.
"This gate will lead you 4 to the school."
"The school isn't in the kingdom?" John asked.
'If it isn't how will I get to meet up with master?' John wondered.
"It is, but this is the easiest way of getting there." He said.
"A-Ah, thanks..."
'Darn, if I miss master's lesson I feel like I'll be in trouble, even if I already warned her ahead of time.' John thought to himself.
"Is everyone ready?" He asked.
They all nodded.
They were the only students here, either there were other places with portals or there were separate days for other students. Either way, the reason why they ended up coming together was that they asked them after the exams.
When they passed through, they ended up inside of a really big room. The floor was squeaky clean and so were the walls. The lights on the ceiling were bright and illuminated the whole room.
"Where are we?" They wondered.
"Oh, it looks nice."
"So we're inside of the school?"
The students around them started talking, it seemed like it was also their first time inside the school.
"Silence," Said one of the teachers.
She wore glasses that covered her red eyes and had red hair which was tied up in a ponytail. She wore a uniform which seemed very well crafted.
Everyone quieted down.
"It appears that we're missing one more student, we'll give him another minute, if he's late then he'll have to try again next year." Said the teacher.
There was only a single teacher here, and two guards around their group. There were around 60 students here, but it was just a rough guess.
Everyone was quiet, they could tell that she was a strict teacher, misbehaving on the first day didn't seem like a good idea.
"10 seconds left... It looks like we'll move on without the last student."
The instant she said that a student came out of the portal which was behind them.
It was a boy. He had short brown spiky hair and a Band-Aid on each side of his cheek. His left eye was brown, while his right eye was a bright yellow.
His frame sort of like John's, not too big but not small either. He was a bit taller than him and his shirt was a bit slightly unbuttoned.
Before saying anything he looked around, everyone's attention was on him.
"Oh, looks like we've already started, sorry I'm late," He said with a smile.
'Huh? For a moment it looked like he was looking at me.' John thought.
"Oh crap, this guy's in trouble..."
"He turns up late and starts acting like nothing's wrong..."
"Ah, I'm scared..."
The teacher seemed pissed.
"Tch, let's begin the tour," She said before she turned and started walking'
'Did she just click her tongue? If she's that mad, why not punish him? I don't recall seeing his face in the exam, His appearance would have definitely stood out. Maybe he wasn't one of the participants? If so... then who is he?' John thought.
Without saying anything else, the students followed the teacher.
As they walked out of the giant room, they entered a hallway illuminated by the sunlight which passed through the thin glass.
Windows.
As the students looked outside of the window, they could see a field.
"That is the training field," Said the teacher.
Now that she mentioned it, there were a few people who seemed the be practicing against each other.
"Hey, John?" Said a familiar voice.
John turned to see who it was, and it was Victor.
"Victor?"
"Why do you look so surprised?" Victor asked.
After he said that, John looked around. And surprisingly enough, all the alpha class members were here.
'No wait, why wouldn't they be? More importantly, was he always this friendly?' John realized.
"Ah, my bad, I just thought you might have had a grudge against me," John replied.
"Why would I?" Victor questioned.
"N-Nevermind."
The teacher continued to show them around the school and they didn't say anything else to each other. Or rather, they could feel the teacher's pressure.
The school was big, the canteen was big, the classrooms were big, pretty much everything was big. As we were given a tour, the only thing on John's mind was 'How can they afford all of this?'
That being said, it was surprisingly normal, and less futuristic than John imagined, but the technology was just as advanced as atlas, if not more.. Being educated here looked like it would be worth it to John.
