Headmaster Bourne turned to face Julian and Ezekiel, a warm smile on his face.
"Well boys, that concludes our tour of Aethel Academy. I hope it has given you a taste of the wonders and opportunities that await you here."
"It was amazing! I can't wait to start learning magic and become a powerful mage!"
Hoho…
"That's if you pass the admission exams, Ezekiel. remember your theory has to be as good as your practical ability."
"I understand…" Ezekiel looked like he lost a bit of hope after hearing the words 'theory'.
Julian, on the other hand, remained reserved.
While the academy was undeniably impressive, he still felt out of place among all the talk of magic and potential. It was a world he had never imagined himself being a part of.
Headmaster Bourne seemed to sense Julian's unease. He placed a gentle hand on the boy's shoulder.
