"Ah, Headmaster Ada!"
The man's massive grey beard reached the ground before he did. The students then saw that the wings were retractable. They actually came out of a mechanical contraption on his back.
He seemed to know that this act of his would leave them wondering, so he laughed mischievously when the wings folded into the iron 'backpack.'
"This old bastard." A student cursed under his breath.
Such murmurs and whispers were heard, causing the old man to turn red with rage.
"Say that to my face, you ankle biters!"
"Alright. Now's not the time for your impulsive personality to bare its fangs."
Ada smiled as Sir Vaelyris took his spot in the yard.
"Now that you're all here, let's not waste anymore time.
Students applying for one school, go to your respective teachers.
The students carried this out without a word.
"Those of you attending more than one class, come here for your schedules." Ada waved her hand and a table stacked with piles of paper appeared.
Leo and Nox looked at each other and nodded, then surreptitiously wound up at the very back of the students.
After all the other students had taken their schedules, they walked up onto the platform.
"These two are the students who showed the greatest promise so far. Both of them will be aiming for the master classes by the end of the second year."
The teachers all gave Leo and Nox a deep stare, evaluating them in their own respective ways.
"Hold on, Grandmother, what about us?"
All present were caught off guard, except a few.
Out of a wide portal, two youngsters arrived. They were dressed simply, but their every move carried a spectacular and dignified demeanor.
"Ah, the Young Prince and Princess."
Leo's eyes narrowed.
She resisted the urge to pry into their secrets and merely smirked.
She then noticed the splendidly colored hairs falling from their heads. The golden hue was quite similar to her's, which reminded her that they were more or less her family.
However, their eyes were an azure color.
Thinking this, she smiled even deeper.
They went straight to the platform as well, not even waiting for Ada's response.
Nox was disinterested, but Leo's eyes never left them.
"Naturally the Prince and Princess will also be aiming for the master classes. Once these four have proven themselves, they will be promoted to that level."
As she finished speaking, five portals opened simultaneously at the back, near where the young royals had arrived.
