The following days were a blur of study and preparation. True to his word, Tyron had arranged for a tutor—a seasoned scholar named Master Gerald, known for his expertise in magical theory and history.
It's not like Theron badly needed to have one more tutor. But it wouldn't hurt to know advanced lessons that would help him throughout his stay in the academy.
"Good morning, Lord Theron," Master Gerald greeted him on their first day. He was an older man with kind eyes and a wealth of knowledge evident in his demeanor. "Your father speaks highly of your abilities."
Theron bowed respectfully. "Thank you for agreeing to teach me, Master Gerald. I'm honored to meet you."
The two of them settled into a rigorous routine. Aside from swordsmanship trainings in the morning, practice of magic in the early afternoon, his late afternoon was now dedicated to magical theory while evenings still to independent study.
