Zmerr ate his breakfast quietly and alone. He took his time. He knew he had a lot of work to do today, but he just wasn't in the mood for it. He paid little attention to his food and kept an interested eye on the students. There really was an interesting mix of members. People from all different parts and different environments. He saw reptilian people huddled in groups with thick clothing all the way to wolf people tearing out their winter fur. The diversity was intriguing and somewhat what peaked his interest. The researcher inside of him started to kick in.

He wanted to know why the board has started selecting such different people. They used to be specific to only a certain few people groups. Things were starting to come together. The green fire, the higher and more diverse enrollment, the scarcity of board members. Cadmus was hiding something from the students. Something big. Zmerr could understand why. There were probably ten, thousand or more students alone. Including staff, well over twelve thousand people on campus at any given moment. If news of something serious got out, it could be disastrous. 

But at the same time, it would be necessary to have twelve thousand magic-using bodies to protect the Academy. But how effective could an army of mostly freshman be? Was Cadmus hoping the danger would not show up with in the next few years? Or maybe he expected that he could take care of it on his own and was just preparing. Zmerr, trusted that Cadmus knew what he was doing and that things work out with the smallest amount of casualties possible.
