In a classroom on the 3de floor of Script high-school we see a teacher explain how to draw a perfect circle in the air, the class is full of students listening to the explanation. At the back of the classroom we get a glimpse of one Louis Coldwater, Hair colour brown, eye colour green, height 173 cm tall and wearing a standard school uniform. Louis was in a daze string out into space, not listening to the teacher upfront.
"Louis... Louis... Louis!" The teacher shouted to get the teens attention, when he gets no reaction he starts to get mad, so he does what any sane person would do. He throws an eraser at Louis, it hits Louis right in the forehead with such force it almost knocks him over.
Louis now aware of his surroundings rubs his head in pain "Good to have you with us." said the teacher. "Sorry sir I was just looking at the LAW alphabet." Said Louis scratching the back of his head. "Oh and how many symbols have you memorized?" Asked the teacher. "I have memorized 17 symbols sir." said Louis quietly, he knew what this meant, that is why he was so ashamed to say it out loud. "17 symbols huh that is a shame and here I thought you could have made some progress, Look at Marcus over here he is up to 53 symbols, 53 that is what you should all be striving for."
Marcus in the front of the class puffed up his chest in pride, put on a smirk and looked at Louis. 'This is not fair, he has had access to his LAW alphabet for over 10 years an I only got mine last year.' thought Louis. "Now tell me Louis why is it that you are so behind the whole class?" asked the teacher.
Louis looked at the teacher and studied him, Jean Simmons a stout man with the height of 160 cm, bald and brown eyes. He had been his professor for his entire time at Script High. "I don't know sir it might be that they all had access to their LAW alphabet for more than 3 years whilst I only got mine last year...Sir." Said Louis. The teacher Mr. Simmons had always had a problem with him, it was like this for his entire time at Script high.
The bell rang signalling the end of class an the school day, Louis not wanting to stay later then he had to packed all of his things into his bag and was on his way out of the door, all of sudden he was pushed back into the class by Marcus. "Stay out of my way you plebeian." said Marcus, he was a tall kid almost 2 meters tall with platinum blond hair and ocean blue eyes, he had a superiority complex and came from a rich family, the Colson family. They had a basic monopoly over anything to do with beast cores.
Louis said nothing garbing his bag that had fallen of his shoulder and walked away, as he was walking away he was once more interrupted by someone. "Mister Coldwater I would like a word with you." said Mr. Simmons, Louis turned around and waited for the class to empty and went to the podium at the front of the class. "How can I help you sir?" asked Louis, Mr. Simmons walked up to him and handed him a paper. "We need to know what your choice of course is, so please fill out this form." Looking down at the form it was filled with courses, Louis knew he had to take 3 courses outside of the mandatory 5 he already had.
The mandatory classes where, Language, Maths, Study of LAW, Beast Biology and The Basics of the body-from weak to strong. "Thank you sir, I'll fill this out and get it back to you when I'm done with it." And with that he walked out of the class, on his way back to the dorm he looked at the paper he was given and read the choices, 1-Outdoor survival, 2- Meditation and its workings, 3-How to forge your own weapons (a guide to blacksmithing), 4-Brewing and mixing (a guide to potion making), 5-Cooking with beasts (a guide to cooking beasts) and 6-Enchanting (How to make a spoon a deadly artefact). Louis was stuck, he did not know what choices to make.
So he did what anyone would do in this situation, he put a pin in it and decided to sleep on it. As he reached his dorm room he threw his bag on the ground walked over to his fridge took out a nutrient serum and drank the entire tube of absolute disgust.
After drinking some water to get the taste out of his mouth he walked over to his desk and opened the second drawer from the top, inside was a book that looks like it is was straight out of hell. It was black with red engravings with what looked to be sharp animal teeth as decoration along with a grey reptilian eye that moved at random intervals, this was the handbook for Beast biology. A book that was hard to study as it was all written in the language of law.
Focusing on his right forearm a glow of grey shone thru his jacket as a feather quill appeared in his hand, he was about to do something ha had thought of in class. If it worked it would save him years of studying if not he could kill himself, with quill in hand he readied himself and wrote over the book *absorb knowledge* with that written he circled it and just as he finished he passed out.
The book now on the floor started to flip open page by page, the ink on the paper started to disappear. Strange black particles moved from the book over to Louis and entered his ears, his nose started to bleed as the last of the black particles entered his head. He did not know that thru his actions he had just got the biggest blessing and curse, he had just enchanted his soul.

It is difficult to make dictions that is why I'm asking my readers to comment on what they think is a good choice for the courses Louis should take.
