This was the day of the entrance exam, Renji had spent the past few days with his family. He explained to his family that he awakened, and told them that he wanted to join the academy. He of course didn't explain how he was able to awaken to his parents though as it might concern them. He hid the facts about what happened at the cottage as well, his parents were a slightly bit concerned about his behavior but they didn't ask many questions as Renji was not willing to talk that much.
As Renji used to be a happy and fun-loving boy as a child, they were wondering what brought this change to him. However much he changed, his love for his family hadn't disappeared. They agreed to let Renji join the Academy, as they thought after going to the academy he would be able to make new friends and that might make him happy. They also asked him not to go to dangerous places during his stay in the academy.
