They were fingered. Spots on the map and looked perfect. But Marco. What's that, Bates? Send me and I'll clean up.
Michael was. Getting aggravated. But calmed down and gave him his answer. It's my school in a rush, Davia started. Through the papers and arrange them. Back into the cabinets.
When Zavier was done, he approached Marco with a suggestion. Let's go back to school.

THE BAETS
I'm supposed to watch over you? Marcus suggested.
That's why I'm coming with you, Xavier Cotton.
You're not supposed to leave the house, Mercury retorted.
I can't stand by and watch you miss a single day of attendance because of me. Xavier packed Mama's Smart cover into his knapsack. Instructed on.
Is it crazy? I don't trust you. What's your motive? The model came out of his room fully dressed in a screening suit.
What are you wearing? Looks silly. They will, after Marco. And tease him over and over till Michael gave up and ignored him.
Once school is dismissed, we will have to rush home quickly or risk getting caught. Maybe. I gave him a shrug and walked out the door.
Wait up. Stay close where I can see you easily. Don't breach the contract. Uncle grabbed. His bug and rushed out the door. After him,
Why are you being so paranoid? It's not like I'm running away or anything. Xavier was standing outside. Their hands are in his pockets. And acting casual.
OK, so we can't take the normal routes to my school because my parents would spot us since we. Have to pass by their workplaces first. You take a shortcut through Water City Avenue. And remember to keep a low profile. Xavier shrugged again, still acting in front.
As they walked the path, Marco couldn't help but wonder what else was really up to. After up to 15 minutes of traveling in silence,. How could decide to engage in some small talk with Savior?
So you are really from the mythical Beast Nation now?
Yeah, Zavhan said, looking at Marco with a raised eyebrow.
And you are a vampire like the others that came to kidnap you.
Not exactly. I'm a hybrid, so I'm also part human. Is it just me or wasn't this established last night when I let the para out of the bag?
I was just thinking, so how did you get through that lost fog, if you are human? Xavier gave him a little shrug, showing up at the building. Reluctance to mark up questions.
So how's the mythical Beast Nation like Xavier's side?
A continent full of. City of creatures, Marco granted.
No, I mean, what's it like compared to other nations? The terrain and climate. You can even tell me about the beasts there.
Oh, then I can't.
Why not?
Because I never left the vampire community to other areas in the mythical Beast Nation. Now, can you please quit with the questions? I can elaborate more later in the day. Where to now? They were asked when they reached the fork in the road. Uncle pointed in the right direction and let him. The rest of the way to the basic and advanced elements of training school.

TYPICAL SCHOOL DAY
As they approached the school Spain entry gates, Michael was reminded of something of great importance. Hey, Xavier, listen up when we get to the gatekeeper. Allow me to do all the talking. So you just act natural, like you belong here.
Gatekeeper. What's Michael? Charge them
more than Mr. Zebulon? How's your day been? Fine, Master Carver. I hope the same with you. The school gatekeeper answered and turned to look at Xavier. Knows this cover. I'm not a student, I suppose.
Michael chuckled. Knows everyone. He is from the civilized world. A friend of mine. He came to check out the school and perhaps enroll here later.
the brown-eyed savior, almost steadying him. It's a little late for that, isn't it? But I do hope you find this place appealing. The more, the merrier, right, Mr.
After their gatekeeper had glared at him for so long, they felt out of place, like fish out of water. People who noticed it were when he had been backed off. His name?
Sander. Zander of Euro Marco interrupted as Zavier was about to answer truthfully. I apologize. For my friend. He's quite the daydreamer.
Hmm. The bone graft. I'd rather Zander here had answered me himself. No matter. The boy let go of his stern look and was smiling again. What's the coverage advice for you? Be on your guard today; Lenox came in quite mad.
Oh yeah, I thought for a while as they walked through the gate. Mark the Gatekeeper final, beating many gratitude Gatekeeper.
You're welcome for the duties mine to protect still mortality divine
Zander Zavier ask if. After they've gotten past the gatekeeper
One of the gatekeepers in this that aids in protecting our school is his ability to store a multitude of names in memory along with the appropriate perspective. Countenances of the persons. That's great. Gets through the gates. I gave him an alias for security measures No one needs to know. I brought you here. Which reminds me of the rules.
Rules. Xavier was hesitant.
I can't sneak you into the classrooms. The teachers would ask too many questions about the dormitories. Administrative block and Staff block are also out of the question due to the high level of security. You'll be left with the gymnasium compounds, which are always pavilion-inspired enclosures. Which are less guarded. Also, you can't be seen walking around during classroom hours, so don't wander off into open spaces like sports parks and fields, sparring areas, or innocent walkways. Should you run into any adults, make an excuse like you're looking for the washroom or you lost your way back to class. If they don't buy it, lose them. If you happen to run into any students, don't interact with them. Sent to any authorities, especially the principal, or else we'd be in big trouble. Try not to be noticeable or make any sense. Since or
Blah blah blah, I get it, alright? Besides all these rules you're throwing at me, do you think I got all that? Give me a tour of the place and let me know where you'd want me.
The maps are all around the place. Nevertheless, the place is rambling enough to get even a student lost. Alright, a quick tour.
Emphasis on the quick. Why not start with your hallways? I need somewhere where you can learn a lot just by reading information on the walls and artifact cases.
You might break something—all that stuff. They are. Valuable and fragile. Let's get you into the skill-development gymnasium.
As the two were moving down the hall walkways,. Marco passed a few friends and exchanged greetings with them. Xavier, let's be quick. It's almost time for our lessons to begin
What's that, Rush Bookworm?
Dude, you promised you wouldn't be difficult
Marcos started to jog, constantly checking up on Xavier, who was dawdling behind. Xavier seemed to be sightseeing and taking in his surroundings, lost in the grand nature of the BA ETS. As all the tourists did
You should know you are not a good tour guide. Is this your first time? Look Zavier, I've got a lot of other things on my mind. Right now. You can check up on the maps afterward to get around.
It looks like we're almost Oh no, Marco exclaimed in fright.
