After greeting us, he escorted us to an office with a familiar looking door with the name Dean Anakinn on it and then he turns to us and says with a smile
"The Dean will see you now"
After walking in Justin goes to sit and I follow him and I notice the man has not said a thing and so I look at him to see he has his face covered by a piece of paper and then he drops it and lowers his glasses to the bridge of his nose to look at me and then Justin and he turns to me again and he finally removes it facing Justin
"Why are you here Mister Kyleaviskar?" He asks and then Justin proceeds to hand him the letter which he opens and then he picks up his glasses one more time to read it content, after a minute he folds them back and places them in their cases, the letter into the envelope I did not know it had and his glasses into it case
"Why are you here Mister Montgomery?" He turns to me and ask and I just look at the letter and then Justin before looking at him, wondering if he did not understand the context of the letter
"The letter says you wish to enroll for this session while Jason's message says I should be expecting you, but Mister Montgomery firstly, we are already in the middle of this semester already, I do not think you will be able to properly understand what our lecturers are teaching. Furthermore Mister Montgomery, this is a school for elementalists as the name suggests, even if you enrolled at the beginning of the semester of this session we won't have much to teach you and so I ask again, why are you here ?" He asks
"I am looking for something that is not in our school and I dont know where else I can find it" I say
"Well what are you looking for ?" He asks and Justin turns to me curiously, wanting to know
"Librum Sagacitatis" I say
"And what is that exactly ?"
"The scroll of insight" Justin says
"Ohkay, what is that used for ?" He asks looking confused and frustrated
"It contains the insights, notes and ideas of the Imperium Philosophers on the truth of the world's creation, before anything can be written on that scroll it must be something no one knows of yet and it must be certified, proven, defended, justified and true" I explain to him
"Why would we be in possession of such ?" He asks
"Not the scroll itself, the map that leads to the scroll" I tell him
"So you do not know where it is then"
" I do, I just do not know the exact location since it changes"
"And what is this place you want to go to ?"
"Sapiens cubilis sui, the Sages Resting Ground, I am not sure you would know it" I say
"Yeah I do not, but I know the Sanctum Sapientum, the Sanctum of Sages. That is where we hold most of our school tournaments, if you do not find your map in our libraries you may find it there"
"When is your next tournament ?" I ask
"You are in luck, it is in a week time"
"Ok, now that that has been taken care of, how do we handle his presence ?" Justin asks
"Seeing as he would not be attending any classes, he can spend his time going through the school main library and if it is not there he can check the branch libraries and if it still does not turn up, we will carry him along to the Sanctum Sapientum to check and if it still is not there, I am sorry there would not be much we would be able to do for you anymore" he explains
"Thank you, I understand" he nods his head and then clasp his palm together and immediately it feels like the room temperature dropped, I activate my power to see he has congregated a small amount of his energy and aura into his palm and then he streches his hand to me
"You are going to need the head token to access any of our libraries and you will meet someone outside who would show you to your room" that is when I see a small token which looks like it was made of crystal, if I did not just see him do that I would assume it was made by the finest workman. I accept and stand up to leave
As we step out I see someone who is about my age but taller than me leaning on the wall, he has an appealing appearance that causes people to want to keep looking at him again but also one that's says keep away, like a beautiful ember dancing, but one would not want to stick their hands in the flame on the thought of catching more to take home and admire. As we get closer, I see it is a boy who seems lost in thought but immediately we stop in front of him he looks to Justin and say
"Mister Kyleaviskar, my job is to take Mister Montgomery to his room so I am sorry I would not be the one to escort you out" he bows slightly and says immediately we reach him and then he turns to me and stares at me deep in the eyes and I notice his eyes were a deep shade of green just like emeralds, and they sparkled with the light and I was instantly drawn to them and then I notice his mouth moving but I am to lost in those beautiful shade of green to notice anything else and then immediately he turns and starts walking, not even bothering to wait for me and so I take that as a sign to leave so I immediately turn to Justin and say goodbye and he tells me to stay safe and low. I jog to reach catch up to him and greet him
"Hey, my name's Kevin" I say hoping he will reply me
"And then he turns to look at me again in the eyes but I don't want to loose myself again so I take my eyes down but unfortunately he said something and I could not help but stare at his lips and notice they were red, almost like those of the vampires back in our school but not so deep and I wondered if he painted them and then I feel my head hit a soft substance and I look up and see he placed his palm in front of my forehead to prevent me from hitting a pillar
"Watch it" he said with a husky but soothing tone and I realize that was the first time I heard his voice, the other times I was too busy admiring him
"Thanks" I say a bit flushed and I hope it doesn't show on my face, but when I turn to look at him I see a small smile on his face and I start to admire it but I stop myself instantly to prevent another situation where I get embarrassed, and I quickly realize, the soft thing that stopped me was his palm, what does he rub to make it so soft, I do not think I have ever felt a palm as soft as that even someone who does nothing at all does not have such palms. I decide to stop thinking about that for now and focus on where we were headed.
I notice the students walking around in their uniforms of a white long sleeved tee-shirt and tie with long trousers for the boys while pleated skirts for the girls and several different styles and color of monkey jacket and then I turn to look at mr. emerald eyes to see him in his white shirt with long blue tie and trousers paired with blue monkey jacket, all in all, he looked breathtaking, I doubt there was a cover model in his age group who could best him and then I slammed into something, again, but this time it was hard and defined and I was overwhelmed by the scent of the sea and rain and everything calm and when I looked I saw it was his back I had walked into and realize he had stepped in front of me to open the double doors.
"I am really sorry" I apologize with a flushed and embarrassed face
"It is fine" he says with a slight smile, that was when I realized we had left the school premises and entered the dormitories, all in all it looked like a hotel, in contrast to ours that was situated underground with just the lobby on the ground, I also notice when we pass people bow slightly at him and stare at me then whisper, I had gotten used to those but I could not help but wonder why they bowed so I ask
"Uhm, green.."
"The name is Eros" he replied, correcting me and I notice an accent
"Okay, Eros, why are they bowing?" I ask as I still see people bow as we pass by
"It is a part of the school rule to show respect to a leader of a body" he says and then I hear the accent properly and notice it as a french accent
"If you do not mind me asking, uhm, which body is it you head?" I ask curiously
"Home of beautiful men, where the six arts and martial arts are taught to produce the perfect men for the students now and the society when we leave. We are of neutral standing within the school, but for each and every students, not participating in any petty rivalry if it does not help the student board, we are for the students and the students alone. We are Sanctuaire des beaux hommes" he explains with a hint of pride and I admire him a little more. I notice we have reached another tall double doors which open as we stand in front of it, we enter and I feel like we entered an entirely different part of the hotel, a more serene and area and I notice the people are not bowing anymore so a ask again
"This is a wing reserved only for heads and leaders of boards, whatever the size of their party they are allowed to move in, normal students need authorization keys to access it that is why they are few people around, and in this school, leaders do not bow to fellow leaders only to the school head" he explains and I notice everyone here like every other student has the school sigil imprinted on their jacket and a different emblem for each student imprinted on the other side of their jacket. I try to look at his and he catches me
"Every head has their body emblem design taken to the school head who then places different authorizations in line with the body duties on the emblem design and then imprints it on the jacket, the emblem can serve for different purposes, it serves as an identification card, serves as a formation card for formation activation, serves as authorization card for places that require only authorized personnel and many other things, that was why we were allowed to pass through the doors easily, if it was a normal student the door would deny them access" he explains
"But how would you recognize your members" I ask
"Upon initiation, the members submit their jackets to have the collars, buttons or belts changed to the color of the body they were initiated into" after clearing all my doubts we reach a door which he opens with a ring. He then proceeds to explain that not every head has a room here, some choose to live with the remaining students and so everyone who has a room here gets an encrypted ring that opens only their door and that was the only thing able to open the door.
After we walk in, I see it is a large apartment decorated with large ceiling to floor windows which displays a beautiful view of the school. The whole apartment was white, I suppose seeing as the kitchen and lounge were, in the lounge there was a large TV hanging on the wall with grey sofas placed around it and a glass coffee table at the centre of it all. And then he hands me his ring and turn to leave and I notice his hands are cold
"How would you get in if you leave me now?"
I ask
"I do not sleep here I sleep in the other wing, and I can not take you to my other room seeing as I do not have an extra bed there, apart from that I have work to do so I can not stay here" he explains and I nod and stare at him leave and then he turns and says with his small smile
"See you K.K"
