When the entrance ceremony was over, John wandered around the campus a bit. As for he was concerned he had a pretty good break. Thanks to all the books his parents had gotten him, he easily completed his homework to list at least ten potential Ex-Beasts he wanted to make a contract with, and write five pages detailing the characteristics of each creature and his reasons for choosing it. Of course he picked mostly unknown Ex-Beasts instead of the common ones. 

He also managed to increase his skills with the Fuse Spell. After he was done with that he mostly lazed around. His mind returned to the present, this year even though he didn't want to hurt any Ex-Beasts if he could, he would have to accept more Special Assignments if he wanted to pass second grade instead of repeating it again.

As he wandered around he noticed two Martial  Arts students talking with each other. Unlike most Magi he didn't think of the more direct combat related students as fodder. The way he saw it thanks to Fusion Summoners were sort of in between Magi and Martial Artists.
