The four days passed in a wink, I was going to the academy today, I was excited but still worried, my dad told me to forget it, I tried but i couldn't get this feeling out of my chest, me and my brothers made our way to the academy, my father stayed on the house since it was his rest day and my mother left earlier, we arrived at the academy, Lyra and Lon continued their routines and me and Tay got to Menf's office.
Tay:"Here we go Synn, I will go to my class now, bye.".
Synn:"Bye Tay!".
He got out and closed the door, now i was left alone with Menf, and now that we were alone i realize that he is scary, i don't know why but his gaze on me sent me chills down my spine.
Menf:"Now little Synn, I will explain how the academy works.".
Synn:"Y-yes sir!" I was trembling a bit.
Menf:"Don't need to be so formal with me boy, you can call me uncle." He smiled at me and all the bad feelings went away "There, better right?".
Synn:"Yeah, thank you Auntie Menf.".
He chuckled at me and started to explain, the academy was divided in various classrooms each for a different content, the students were divided in classes, a class would go to a class room to study, and after nearly a hour a ring would announce the end of the class turn and another class would take its place, for now i have to go to language class and learn how to read and how to write, no class changes.
Menf:"Did you understand how this will work?".
Synn:"Yes, I will stay at the Draconic language class until i learn how to read and write.".
Menf:"Good, now lets go to your class before its get too late.".
He picked me up and put me on top of his head, we made our way to a door with a feather and a ink bottle emblem on it, we entered the room, a purple dragoness was reading out a loud a book to a bunch of dragons, she stopped when she saw Menf.
????:"Oh, principal Menf, what an honor, everyone stand up.".
Everyone does as she said and bow their head to Menf.
Menf:"Good, you can sit again.".
Everyone does as he said.
????:"Principal Menf, what do you need in here?".
Menf:"Oh, I just came here to introduce you to your new student Mrs. Fran.".
Fran:"What? The newest student has been here for two years and i haven't seen any mana ceremony on the last years, who it is?".
Menf:"He is right here." He picked me up and put me on her desk.
Fran:"What is this?" She looked stunned by my size.
Menf:"His name is Synn, you will teach him how to read and write for the meantime, now i am busy so if you excuse me, i will pass by to see how you are doing.".
Fran:"WAIT WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY-" He closed the door before she could finish.
Fran:"This old dragon, i swear i will make him pay for every extra work he gave me." I could see a vein pop out of her head.
Fran:"Now class continue where we stopped, i will help Synn in the meantime, if you have any questions just come to my table.".
Everyone pretended to be reading their books but i could still feel their eyes on me, it made me nervous.
Fran:"Now what do i do with you?".
Synn:"Sorry for causing trouble." I lowered my head.
Fran:"Oh, don't worry it's that old dragon fault.... WAIT YOU CAN TALK?!".
Synn:"Yeah." I felt uncomfortable now that everyone was looking at me.
Fran:"How old are you?".
Synn:"Ten days i think.".
Fran:"TEN DAYS?!" She looked at me in disblief.
Now everyone was around the table to look at me, it made me more nervous.
Fran:"Everyone sit down please!" Everyone did as she said.
Fran:"But that is hard to believe, you are not even a month old and already know how to talk and already has horns.".
Synn:"But i'm not lying.".
Fran:"I know, you have no reason to lie,Well lets forget about it for now and get started with your lesson.".
She picked a notebook, a feather and a ink bottle out from her bag on her side,
Fran:"Now show me what you can do."
She gave me the feather, it was at least three times my size, I dragged the feather towards the notebook, it was hard to pick up but it wasn't heavy, I tried to lift it to write on the notebook but when i did the weight
went backwards and i fell on my back, everyone chuckled at my performance and i was so embarrassed that i hide my self underneath my wings.
Fran:"That won't do." she sigh.
Suddenly an idea popped into my head, i went to the ink bottle and dipped the tip of my tail in it, i went to the notebook and started writing the letters, it took some time since i was doing it in a size i found that was acceptable, I looked at Fran waiting for her answer.
Fran:"You're a very smart one, you already know the alphabet, this will save us a lot of time." She stand up.
Fran:"Alright, the class is coming to an end, everyone is going to do a summary of the book we just read, if you didn't look at little Synn during class that shouldn't be a problem.".
Everyone gasps silently and starts reading the book, Fran looks disappointed.
Fran:"I knew it, well lets continue our lesson Synn." I nodded to her.
She taught me about consonants and vowels and about some rules of language, with my memory it was easy to remember everything, at the end of the class no one could hand in the summary.
Fran:"You can finish at home and bring me tomorrow, if you don't make it I'll have to deduct a point from your semester evaluation.".
As soon as she finished speaking the bell rang announcing the end of the class, while everyone left some tried to come to the table to try to talk to me, but they were soon dispatched by Fran without having any chance.
Fran:"Ahh, lets do a pause for now.". She grabbed something in her bag and started eating.
Fran:"You want some?" She offered me a piece.
I pick up the piece, it was a brown bar, kind like chocolate, i took a bite, it was bitter and a little sweet, I like it, as we were eating others dragons entered the room and a familiar voice came to my ears.
Tay:"Oh little Synn you are here.".
Synn:"Tay!".
Fran:"You know him Mr. Tay?".
Tay:"Yes Mrs. Fran, he is my little sinbling, hmm what are you eating Synn?".
Fran:"Its a caffeine bar.".
Tay:"Oh he likes it? He sure have strange tastes, he like that freena candy too.".
Fran:"Really? That's strange, well enough talking everyone to your seats.".
Everyone was around the table but i didn't notice, she did the same thing as the other class, everyone must read the book and do a summary about it, she taught me some others rules, at the end some still didn't hand the summary and the bell rang.
Tay:"Lets go get some lunch Synn, thank you Mrs. Fran, I'll bring him back when the break is over." He picked me up and put on the top of his head.
Fran:"Okay, take care you two.".
