Grey spent the half of the day understanding the rule book of the Academy, he felt more secured after finishing it, at lunch left the library to go and have some food.
"Grey out to have lunch?"
"Yes."
"Let's walk together."
He meet Flynn again at the door as he was leaving, if Flynn is not following him like a psycho, then he can say that great minds think alike. They walked together and reached the doors of the dining hall as they opened for lunch time, they even found Sheldon there as well, the kid looked like he did not breakfast, exactly like Grey guessed. Sophia was there as well, but she was no longer alone anymore, she was talking to another female child of their age group.
"Sophia is that the Grey you were talking about? He has grey as you said."
"Yes that's him Cassie."
Sophia and other the girl were clearly talking about Grey which made everyone look him, Grey just ignored them and went inside of the dining hall. The girl that Sophia was talking about had long brunette hair with green eyes that seem to draw people in, the girl was slightly cute, she would be slightly beautiful when she grows up. The girl seem to be the cheeky and wilful type, Grey could see that, and he definitely would not associate with this type of person. The girl's name was Cassandra Weber, though Grey did not know that yet, but he was sure they would be in the same class.
"He is very rude Sophia."
"Never mind him, he is like that or else he would not be my nemesis."
It looked Sophia delusions are still there, poor child. Grey got his food and Mr Ruov still tried to gossip with, immediately after he got his food he made his escape, Flynn seated together with him.
"Grey what did you read in the library. I got a book about the history of magic and…"
"Stop! Don't spoil such information I will read it later by myself. I read the rule book, you should read it too if you want to be on top of different situations."
Thus Grey ended the conversation right there which made Flynn glum, as much as he is matured when it comes to magic he gets childish, he is a child after all. Grey left afterwards back to the library with Flynn, Flynn was no longer glum and back to his matured self, such is the action of matured individual.
"Miss Kat can you recommend a beginner book on magic."
When Grey went back to the library he did not waste his time looking for something that he did not know, he directly went to the librarian Miss Jenny Kat.
"Sure Grey, you know most kids don't ask for a recommendation from the librarian they just rush in themselves to look for themselves."
"That would just waste my time especially when I don't what I looking for."
"Good answer. I recommend this book, 'Into Magic' by Wagner."
The name of the author interested Grey because the name of the academy 1st Lt Sergei went to, was called Wagner Military Mage Training Academy.
"The same Wagner of Wagner Academy?"
"Oh, you know of Wagner Academy?"
Grey did not answer the rhetorical question.
"Yes, it is the same person. The person who wrote this book is also the person Wagner Academy is named after. Full name, Ingrid Wagner Tier 7 Arc Mage of our kingdom. The Arc Mage is military scholar and general in the army, she is responsible for many new spells and new and innovative ring designs."
"Ring designs?"
That is what Grey did not understand from the statement that Miss Jenny Kat had said, and looks like it is very important.
"Ahh, you have not read much into magic, then let me not confuse you, go read the book I am going to give you."
Miss Jenny Kat searched in a book case behind her, and pulled a small book when compared to the Academy's rule book, a book like this Grey could read in 1 hour. Grey went and seated down in the same place he was seating before and started to read this small book with a bit fascination.
He spent three hours reading the book, he read the book three times to make sure he understood what was being taught in the book, when he was done a person could not see through his thoughts, his slightly indifferent face was gone and replaced by a blank face.
"You done Grey?"
Grey just nod to Miss Jenny Kat's question and left the library to his room in the dorms.
Later Grey went to have dinner in the dining hall, his mind was still wondering, such he did not notice the buffoon Sheldon was seating in front of him and was rambling about the things he did today, though it looks like this kid does not forget dinner.
"Grey I came to introduce my new friend."
Sophia came together with the cheeky and wilful child Cassandra.
"This is Cassie, she is my friend from the dorm."
But Sophia words were not reciprocated by Grey he just kept eating and after he was done he left the children behind, plans were brewing in his mind after reading the book 'Into Magic'.
"Sophia, Grey is definitely rude."
"No something is wrong, he had a blank face this during dinner, usually he has an indifferent face, and his face shows emotions when he is annoyed. Tonight none of these came through even though this fellow here is very annoying to him."
"Hey! That is not true, me and Grey are best friends."
Sheldon felt that someone was lying about his best friend Grey, whose name he just found during this conversation, child delusions.
"But Sophia why do you know so much about Grey?"
Cassandra felt that she should ask, because her friend was hanging around with that rude fellow.
"Oh that, it is because he is my nemesis, Grey Gram…"
Grey was still not aware how deep Sophia's child delusions were, hopefully she will outgrow them and become a mentally healthy woman. Grey went back to his room where he directly went to sleep, his child body was tired with the readings he did today.
Grey had a good night sleep, his child body was well rested, he showered and put his uniform and made his hair neat before he left for breakfast. Grey arrived as the doors of the dining hall were opening, he had to be on time today because classes were starting today.
He had breakfast alone today, most of the children were on time for their breakfast, but people like the buffoon called Sheldon were late, that fellow is definitely trouble. After having his breakfast he immediately left to find where the class was located.
'This should be place.'
Grey found the place after searching for a few minutes and following some signs, the class was structured like a lecture theatre, allowing the lecture to be seen by all the students and have the lecture being able to see all the students. The lecture theatre was small considering that only 25 children were going to use, but at least 30 children can use the lecture theatre at the same time.
Grey went to seat in the front row, going up the rows will be wasting his time especially since there was still space in the front row.
"Good morning Grey, it looks you found this place first."
Flynn came a minute afterwards followed by other children. Sophia was there as well, she was dragging Cassie who still seemed sleepy, she definitely did not know that Sophia was an early riser.
"Good morning Flynn. I followed the signs."
The children that came in the class had one thing in common even if it is of different degrees, the whole bunch of kids, 5 years old, were just too matured that it was very disconcerting.
'It looks Grey is back normal, last night he was weird.'
Flynn had seen how weird Grey was last night and that was the reason he did not join him for dinner or breakfast this morning. More children kept entering the class until it was 08:00, at that time 1st Lt Finn Miller came to the stage of the lecture theatre, he observed the children in the class and then looked back to the clock on the wall.
He took out a note pad, where he noted down some notes. The kids who were more intelligent assumed he was noting down the ones who were late, there were three children that were late if it is assumed that the class is supposed to have 25 students, Sheldon Shaw was ones of the ones who were late as Grey expected of the fellow.
"Good morning children, how was your stay in this so far?"
1st Lt Finn Miller seemly forgotten about the note pad greets the children with a bright smile, and sends them a rhetorical question because he did not wait for answer, but continued.
"I think introductions are due before we start anything more, I am 1st Lt Finn Miller your main instructor. It's your turn children, let's start at the front, introduce your name and talent tier."
"Flynn Lindel. Tier 4 talent."
Flynn started the whole introductions run, some kids had some jealousy when hearing him talk about his talent, it looks like this situation was done purposely, makes you wonder the purpose is.
"Grey Gram. Tier 4 talent."
"Miranda Bennington. Tier 4 talent."
Miranda was a cute female child with blond locks, this child would knock off heads when she grows up into a mature woman. The child seemed like a fully matured adult in the way she carried herself in her small child body, her manners were very strict like she was not a child, even Sophia in her mature ways shows she is still a child with childish tendencies. Makes you wonder how she was raised in her orphanage.
"Petra November. Tier 4 talent."
Petra was a female child who like Sophia had a month name for a surname, the situation how she got it was the same like Sophia. The child had average looks for a female, she was definitely going to be not pretty when she grows up. What stood out from her was her long black hair that was dark as the night, she had blue eyes like most people in the Arin kingdom. The girl had a serious look on her face, it looks like she was the serious type.
"Sophia October. Tier 3 talent."
"Cassandra Weber. Tier 2 talent."
The children proceeded to introduce themselves until all 22 children had introduced themselves, interestingly all the tier 4 children had found themselves in the front row like it was planned, great minds think alike. The rest of the children were mixed in different places in the lecture theatre.
"Good kids, now that is over I will explain some few things that will be helpful to you during you stay."
Everyone paid extra attention as the 1st Lt started his lecture.
"You children already know that the Academy is split in two, with one side having kids that can use magic and the other having kids that cannot use magic, I will explain why."
