[@TheHangedMan] Arcadius looked up from his book ever so often, noting the personalities of those around him and taking guesses at their powers. A few seemed to use swords...interesting. There was also that one lizard like fellow, he intrigued him the most as he couldn't really feel anything magical about him..

More absorbed in his thoughts than his reading, he didn't Meruin until she spoke. He looked her over, not really paying attention to her when she introduced herself. She was rather short, at-least compared to the rest in the room. He could sense she had strong potential, this was good, she wouldn't be a waste of time talking to.

"Hello...Meruin, was it?" He replied, closing his Grimoire almost by reflex, fully intent on a conversation if only brief. He paused..not quite sure what to say next or what her intentions were.

He decided to continue with a more generic respone. "So, what do you think of the academy so far? What classes did you sign up for?"
