**POV - ACADEMY PROFESSOR**
**LOCATION - INSIDE THE UNTEMPERED SCHISM**
When I called him to see the Untempered Schism, I said, "■■■■■■, look directly at the Schism. In one minute, you must step back. OK?"
The boy nodded in confirmation without any apparent reaction, as if he was already familiar with what he was about to see.
As we approached the vortex, I instructed him to look directly at the Schism. He began to stare, 10 seconds passed, and nothing happened. But then, something changed in his expression, not fear or determination, but rather recognition, as if he was recalling something from the past.
That's when something remarkable occurred: the chaotic Schism started to align itself in a slow and steady rhythm as if it was recognizing and responding to him.
I glanced at Castellan Rosger and saw that he was equally astonished by this unusual occurrence.
I turned back to the boy and saw him staring at the Schism without blinking as if he was absorbing something from it. Then, without warning, he stepped back from the Schism, looked at me, and said:
"Is that enough, Professor?"
I tried to keep my voice neutral so as not to raise any suspicion, though I was curious about his response. "Yes, that's enough, ■■■■■■■. Return now; we're almost done, and we should head back to the Academy soon."
He nodded and turned towards Castellan Chapter Nate.
As the initiations concluded, I kept recalling what had happened during that boy's initiation. He will undoubtedly become something extraordinary for the Time Lords.
I can't wait to see a new powerful Time Lord emerge.
**---------------SCENE BREAK-------------**
**POV - ■■■■■■■**
**LOCATION - ON THE BUS HEADING TO THE ACADEMY**
The initiation is over, and I can't help but reflect on the Untempered Schism. When I looked at it, it felt like I was part of Time and Space, and I had a connection with these concepts.
Perhaps god gave me more than expected as a Time Lord since Time Lords can sense the time streams and what they should be, or will be, in the past or future.
Well, that was interesting, but now I have to focus on the school where I'll spend at least next 120 years. What a drag having to return to this school. In Eutenoyar's time, there wasn't a subject on time travel because time travel didn't exist then, since it was Eutenoyar, Rassilon, The Other, and Omega who began the Time Lords' research into TARDISes, with Rassilon attempting to study the explosion of a star to enable time travel.
'Which, by the way, succeeded with the TARDISes we see now in Gallifrey.'
**--------------SCENE BREAK-----------**
**POV - RASSILON**
**LOCATION - HIGH COUNCIL PRESIDENT'S OFFICE**
'My research on true immortality is progressing well, but it will surely take a few more hundred years.'
As I was jotting down my results, someone knocked on the door. "Lord Rassilon, may I come in?"
I turned and said, "Yes, come in, Rosger."
Rosger entered and sat down in front of me. He began to speak, "I came to talk about the new Time Lord in my house. He was taken for initiation, and something strange happened, Lord Rassilon."
Upon hearing this, I became curious. "What happened, Rosger?"
Upon receiving the question, Rosger replied, "Lord, ■■■■■■ looked at the Schism as if he already knew it. The Schism reacted, aligning itself in a harmonic rhythm, moving away from the usual chaos. I spoke with the professor supervising the initiation, and he said it was quite a surprise. He is destined to be a powerful Time Lord."
Hearing this, I raised an eyebrow. "This child is interesting. Perhaps he possesses an intellect and affinity with Time and Space that others do not since the Schism is essentially the totality of Time and Space merging. He may indeed become powerful in the future."
Rosger, upon hearing this, was pleased that his house had gained a Time Lord who could become powerful, perhaps even someone on the High Council.
After this, Rosger started discussing the next High Council meeting with Rassilon.
After sending Rosger away, I start thinking about this anomaly in the Rift, something that has never happened in thousands of years. I should send someone to keep an eye on this boy in case he becomes a threat in the future.
**------------------SCENE BREAK--------------**
**POV - ■■■■■■**
**LOCATION - PRYDONIAN CHAPTER ROOM AT THE ACADEMY**
After being selected for our respective academies, we took an oath of entry into the academy, which went like this: "I swear to protect the ancient Law of Gallifrey with all my strength and mind. Until the end of my days, with justice and honor, I will moderate my actions and thoughts."
After that, recognition codes were stitched into the DNA of the new students, which will allow them safe passage through the Time Vortex.
Then, the students were divided into individual rooms, as there were thousands of rooms within the dormitories, thanks to the art of the Time Lords.
My room is medium-sized, with a bed and a wardrobe for clothes, as we are expected to spend 'centuries' studying at the academy.
To graduate from the Academy, a Time Lord must take a test and score at least 51% to pass and graduate. A Time Lord can take this test after 120 years at the academy.
Today, there were no classes because all the new students underwent the initiation at the Schism. 'But tomorrow, the professor will introduce the whole Academy to the new students. We can only return home for just 6 months. What a drag, spending 120 years at this academy knowing that most of the subjects will be difficult, but since I want to become someone powerful and take on a role in the Wars and gain the freedom to leave the planet, I must make these sacrifices.'
My class has 23 students, 13 men and 10 women. Ok, Time Lords can change gender.
"I want to ride a Vortisaur. It must be cool to ride a space pterodactyl. Besides, I should review the branches of knowledge in the academy to see if they are still the same. Probably not, since many years have passed since Eutenoyar."
The branches of knowledge are the subjects taught at the Gallifrey Academy, which include botany, mental protection, thermodynamics, cybernetics, cosmic science, veteran and ancient vehicles, Gallifreyan floating wings, practical theology, paradox declination, stellar engineering, spatial cartography, medicine, Old High Gallifreyan, temporal engineering, and gravitational induction.
"Yeah, I need to prepare for tomorrow with these kids."

Author's Note: There will be a time skip because I don't want to show the days of classes at the Academy, as they would be very boring, and I don't know how to describe them since even *Doctor Who* hasn't explained how they study or what the subjects are like. I will describe the academy, and then we'll skip to graduation.
