To say that Mathew was surprised by the headmaster's little...speech, would be a huge understatement. However what surprised him the most was not the headmaster's age, nor his attitude. What surprised him most was something else '[color=fff79a]...that was a boy!? How could someone with such fair and delicate features be male!? And people back home think [i]I[/i] look like too feminine for a male my age. Clearly none of them have seen...Ier-Briar Thorn-of-the-Shield was it? Quite a cumbersome name I must confess.[/color]' Reaching underneath his seat, he grabbed a piece of paper with the number sixty nine on it '[color=fff79a]I wonder what this could be for?[/color]' He thought to himself '[color=fff79a]I can only hope that the headmaster is sane enough to not make some sort of important decision using such a method. Too much relies unnecessarily on luck.[/color]'
