20 The First Lesson (1/2)
Greyson felt the morning sun shine down on his face. He slowly opened his eyes before looking around. He would have to get used to this new room of his now that he was finally settled down somewhere. His feet swung over the edge of his bed as he quickly rose up. Rubbing his eyes, he walked over to his wardrobe and opened it. Inside the wardrobe was surprisingly a whole set of clothes. They were all the same robe that indicated his status as a student of Dalia Academy. It was white and hooded with the silver eagle crest of the Dalia Kingdom sewn onto the left breast. Greyson dressed up before heading out his door. On his way out of his bedroom, Greyson ran into Lyle who was also leaving. Lyle looked stunned by Greyson before shaking his head.
”You know, you really match that white robe. It's blinding. Honestly, your looks are so exaggerated that even I can't help but be envious.” Lyle also looked good in the white robes that accentuated his dark blue hair and eyes, but even he knew that he was just easy on the eyes not particularly good-looking. However, Greyson looked like he was glowing. The white robe only emphasized his white hair, pale skin, pink lips, and emerald green eyes.
Hearing his words, Greyson rolled his eyes and just shrugged. He never knew how to respond to compliments about his looks. He couldn't even thank his parents because he didn't know who they were and what they looked like.
”Where are you headed today?”
Lyle looked over at him responding, ”Water Department, you?”
”Oh, I'm going to the Water Department today too! Head Teacher Elendil told me to report to his office today and that he will inform me then of where I will go for the rest of the week.”
”That's right. You said last night that you will be learning from a different element teacher every day. That's going to be crazy. You'll definitely be working hard, I guess.”
Greyson just shrugged, ”It should be fine. Having a lot to do makes the days go by with more excitement anyways. I will always have something to do.”
”Let's walk over together then!”
”Okay!” Greyson followed Lyle out the door as the navigated their way towards the Water Department. The dorm room had contained basic materials for new students and a map was included in those things. They looked at the map last night to figure out the academy's structure. Before long they came up to magnificent looking building with two large double doors. The word ”WATER” was carved onto the top of the building. They walked in together before separating because the Head Teacher's office was on the top floor while Lyle's class was on the first. This time the building did not contain a teleportation circle since there were only four floors, so Greyson just walked up the steps.
The top floor was very open and only contained one room. Greyson walked up to the door of the office and knocked.
”Enter.” Elendil's cold voice rang out. Greyson opened the door and walked in nervously. He glanced around quickly at the room only to realize it reflected the owner's personality to a T. It was very spartan and minimalist. There was one large desk with two couches and a table in front of the desk that looked to be for guests. Everything was extremely clean and empty. Greyson involuntarily shuddered at the cold atmosphere of the room. Elendil rose up and sat down on one of the couches while gesturing for Greyson to sit on the one across. Once they were both sitting, Elendil finally spoke.
