Chapter 241 - A New student (1/2)
Roland academy was almost like a city within the city. The building was large and grand surrounded by its own walls and there were a total of four entrances each facing a different direction. Each of these had a large gate at least 30 meters high.
And just outside were guards dressed in white robes. No one was allowed to enter unless they were part of the academy. Not even family members of the students were allowed to enter.
But today wasn't a regular day for the second-year students at Roland, for there was a rumour that their soon would be a new student entering their classes.
”Hey did you hear?”
”About what?”
”A new kid is coming into our classes today.”
”Ah, yeah the person who got a perfect score on the written magical exam?”
”Yeah all the teachers and professors wouldn't shut up about it, it's never been done before.”
”It's strange though, why is he joining in the second year, I thought Roland didn't accept transfers, I thought everyone had to start from the beginning no matter what.”
”Well rumours are going around that he had a deadly sickness for the first year but because of his scores there letting him join us for the second year.”
”He might be the son of some powerful noble, it best to become friends with him.”
The class was full of energy as everyone was excited for the new transfer student that would be coming in. Inside the classroom Max, Slyvia's brother was uninterested in the new student that would be coming in today.
As soon as he learnt it was a boy, he quickly decided to put his head on the desk and fall asleep. It was amazing how he was still able to sleep with all the chatter that was going around him.
But the chatter in the room had almost come to a halt in an instant as a student had entered the room. He was a tall boy with silver long hair that covered his eyes and went up to his shoulders. It was the prince named Van.
As soon as Van entered the class and started to walk over to his seat, the room was deadly silent with a few mumbles of words here and there.

Before Ray was to enter the academy, Lenny decided to catch Ray up on his back story as a new student. The three of them were sat at a table inside the Boar's inn.
”What, you told them I was sick for the first year?” Ray said, ”And what's this about a perfect score, I nearly know nothing about magic.”
”Well, it was the only thing that made sense,” Lenny replied. ”And the academy wouldn't accept you without taking a test so I decided to take it for you. Who knew that the test would be so easy that I would get a perfect score.”
For some reason, Ray felt like Lenny was bragging about his vast knowledge and it was annoying Ray a little.
